Horse With Blood SPAWN.

My horse has soft place through and
through hind leg at joint. Some call 1t
blood SPAWN. In long drive, say 16 to IS
miles, he will become stiff in the leg. Is
there any positive cure. If so, what, and
do you think it blood SPAWN. w. B. G..
Doubtless it is blood SPAWN" that at
fects your horse. If the animal Is over sew
en- or eight years old, and the trouble has
existed for years, il is not likely that a
cure can be made; certainly not if he is
worked steadily. AS you may know, this
spawn is a swelling of the vein that passes
along the front of the hook from below
and obliquely across. After continuing for
some time, it is difficult, if not impossible,
to reduce the swelling and effect a cure.
Rest for some weeks and blistering may
do good however. Make blister as follows
Red iodide mercury, 2 parts; powdered
Spanish flies, l part; lard parts. Rub in
well on the swelling, and only on it. Re-
peat this in two weeks if the first does not
cure. Do not let the animal bite the Bills

Pigs for Profit.

To make growing profitable you shoulo
begin with the SOW, before the pigs, are
narrowed. says a practical man in Breed
ers' Journal, begin fully two months be-
fore narrowing time by gradually dimin-
ishing the corn ration and substituting
bran, middlngs, roots and such like. AS
YOU diminish the corn increase the other
feed named The last month before far
rowing scarcely any corn should be fed.
Make comfortable place for your sows,
and don't let 100 many sleep together,
as they are likely to lie on each Other
and kill the unborn pigs.
Remember one of the great sources of
profit in pig growing is the saving of all
the pigs.
In growing pigs for profit the first thing
to be looked after is the breeding. II
pigs are poorly bred we need not expect
much of a profit from them. The better
bred they are the larger the profit If
properly taken care of.
Don't think that because a pig is well
bred nothing else is required. Well bred
and well fed are words that go well to-
gether in pig growing.
When the SOW first has her litter of pigs
don't disturb her with feed for the first
day. Give her a little water only. The
second day she may be fed a little slop,
not much. Increase gradually, and let il
be a full week before she is put on full
feed. Too much milk-producing feed win
make too much milk, and the pigs will
have the scobrs. which will put them back

two directions, at right angles to each 9TH

AS a general rule, farmers do not put
enough seed per acre. II is a false econo-
my to stint in seeding the ground, for il
there is not sufficient seed sown there will
most certainly not be a full crop. The fall
is the best time to sow grass seed in this
region, because we thus give the grass
time to root before cold weather. avoiding
the May drought. so common in this Sec
ton and the chance of the weeds choking
out the young grass. The custom of sowing
grass with small grains is not, in the opin-
ion of the writer, a good one for US here4
as raising TWO crops that feed alike upon
the same piece of ground at the same time
is disadvantage TO both-the grass is apt
to be the worse sufferer of the two.
Grasses, like other plants, have a sea-
son for growing and a time for lying dor
mani. In seeding for pasture a mixture
should be made. so as to have one or
two grasses in active growth throughout
the grazing season. Density of sod is also
an end 10 attain. Orchard grass is one
OF the best grasses for this region, and
almost, if not quite, equal to it is the
Texas blue grass. The latter has only
one advantage over orchard grass-lt
makes a dense sod. Both adapt them
selves to almost any kind of soil makins
a luXuriant growth on rich soils and
fair one on poor land. They make THEN
growth in the spring and fall lying dor
mant through the summer, and If grazed
during that time the roots are liable 10
be exposed to the sun and be killed. The
young grass growing up will protect the
roots if
mer growth some of the panieums anu
paspalums may be used; also white and
red clover can be added to the mixture
sown to an advantage.
There is no good reason why we should
not have abundant forage here all the
year round. 1t can be done easily by US
ing ANIMALS, such as rye, cowpeas and
sorghum, to supplement the permanent
pasture If our woodland is cleared OF
underbrush the larger trees properly thin

grass and Texas blue grass Orchard grass

are allowed to- grow throughout the sum-
mer and early fall, much waste land may
be made to afford excellent pasture the
entire winter.
For hay the lowlands, or bottoms, are
best; they will produce more per acre than
the average uplands, thus lessening the
cost of handling, and, besides, the hay
grasses are better suited to the low, moist
lands than the drler uplands. 1t is not
so important TO mix grasses for hay as
for pasture, but if they are mixed care
| should be taken thai those are selected
that mature at the same time. The fol-

this region for hay: Festuca pratensis,

Mixing Song Birds in Close Quarters.

Il am about to start small aviary and
would like to gain little information from
you to direct me in the matter. What
kinds of birds are most suitable, and,
among these, which are indigenous to this
locality? How many different kinds of
BIRDS may be kept, say in a space by 6
feet and about 10 feet high? Would put
ting together a number of birds, for in
stance, singing birds, cause them to cease
singing? If you will kindly answer these
questions and give any other information
on the subject that you may think would
be of assistance to me, you will greatly
oblige one of your juvenile readers.

A Grass Farm.

1t is a lamentable fact that the ma
jority of the farmers of the South pay
very little attention to the grasses either
in the way of pastures or meadows, says
a farmer in Southern Farm Gazette.
They depend for pasture, to a large extent
on run-out clover fields and natural or
neglected meadows, sedge grass and such
annual grasses as spring up after crops
of small grain. Timothy and red-top are
almost the only grasses found in their
meadows. This should not be the case.
It is doubtful whether meadows, which
it will not pay to NOV, are worth keep
ing for pastures. When a meadow runs
out il is better to break it up and SOW it
in something else for pasture than to
leave it to be taken by sedge grass and
weeds. as usually the case. The same
will apply to stubble pasture of annual
grasses. Cowpeas will pay, in most cases.
better than crab grass and weeds.
Grass. as a factor in keeping up the
fertility of the soil and increasing the
revenue of the farm, has not been rec
ognized by our farmers as 1t should be-
In this regard grass is only excelled by
the leguminous plants. The decay OF a
certain amount of roots and stems each
wear helps to keep up the supply of hui
mus which is indispensable to the fer
tilitv of The soil. Then grasses help to
lxeen in place whatever plant food there
is in the soil or may be put upon the
field. If more of the hills of the Appa-
lachtau region were in permanent pas
tnre there would not be so many washed
fields as are 10 be seen in some portions
of it as at present.
What crop to raise for the market is the
great question with the farmer. The gem
eral rule should be to sell that which
brings IN the most and takes the least
amount of fertilizing material off OF the
farm. This is best done in this region by
raising cattle, either for beef or to pro-
dnce butter. Under this system the market

Black-Breasted Red Game.

Independently of its great beauty of
feather the 'black-breasted red game COM
bines important advantages for farmers as
well as for fanciers, whether bred pure or
used to grade up common stock, says the
Poultry Journal For farmers the exhi-
bition game is preferable 10 the pit game.
The pit games are smaller in size and lay
smaller eggs. The black breasted red
game exhibition cock has a rich glossy,
light orange hackle and saddle and glossy
black breast and tail. The wing fronts
are black, wing bow is red, wing bar CLOS
sy black and feet yellow in color. The
hen has rich light golden hackle, with
black stripes through the middle of the
feathers. The back is light brown, pen
ciled with dark brown Breast is a light
salmon shading off with ashy brown to-
wards the thighs. Wings are light brown
penciled with dark brown; tail is a dark
brown, the outer feathers penciled with
light brown. Cocks of this variety weigh
from six and a half to nine pounds, and
hens weigh from five to seven pounds. AS
a table fowl they are not excelled. They
are excellent sitters, and as mothers they
cannot be equaled. The elegant form,
close feathering and brilliant coloring of
the cock and the hen make them one of
the most beautiful breeds we have.
Crosses of games on other breeds produce
large, meaty, well-shaped fowls and good
