WHEN BUYING HORSES.
ness Is Best discovered by Nov
ing In a Circle.

AS it has been the rule in this coun-
try, at horse shows and elsewhere, to
try horse for lameness by walking
and trotting the animal in a straight
line, to and fro, usually on hard pave
ment, and with lead halter or bride
only, the recently expressed views OF
Prof. Zurn, director of the veterinary
clinical school of Leipzig, are pertinent
and instructive. He strongly recon-
mends that the horse should not be
walked along straight line, but
chiefly in a circle; then the higher and
lower parts of the limbs outside and
inside the circle are equally weighted
For example, if, during this ring exer.

creases on account of the greater
weight, the ailmant resides in the low.
er part (hoof, coronet or pastern); on
the contrary, if the halting of the out
side leg increases, the seat of the all
ment is in the higher region Shoulder
haunch); greater amount of strength
is required to remove this limb, and
one can understand that the extern
sion and supporting of the foot is more
difficult. After having examined the
horse in motion, you must explore the
limb with the hand, in order to assure
yourself, if you do not perceive any
sign of heat, whether or not there are
traces of wounds or confusion, invisi-
BILE swelling, whether or not pressure
of the fingers causes abnormal pain.
Inflammation of the Emphatic vessels
in the vicinity of the eXtremities under
the hook, ring bones, ETC., may also
cause hating. Under the influence of
persistent hating it may happen that
certain muscles, particularly those be-
hind the hook, will decrease in volume,
because atrophied. This atrophy of the
muscles is caused not merely-as many
believe-by complete paralysis of the
shoulder and hook, but particularly,
and in most cases, it is due to anklylosis
of these joints. In this explorat ton of
the hating limb with the hand an ex-
cellent sign is given by the puIsation of
the artery situated on the interior of
the canon in the hind limb. If the
pulse is feeble and little perceptible.
the cause of lameness is in the top part
of the limb; if strong and slightly per-
ceptible, the seat of the ailment is in
the lower part, and generally in the
hoof. Horses with hating foot place
it down reluctantly; the pain they
manifest is sometimes greater while
resting on the toe, and sometimes
while on the heel, according as the suf-
fering part is front or back of the hoof.
Horses limping from the hook bend the
pastern joint completely.

SLEEP, LITTLE BABY, SLEEP.

Sleep, little baby, sometime maybe. when
the morn shall break
Birds and bees shall sing to greet you just
as you awake;
Rest is sweet when soft night cometh, dark
and downy, too.
& Made that fierce light might not waken
little mites like you;
Babies. too. get tired at evening just like
men and maids,
Sleep, for wells of night have fallen DER
Il the glens and glades.
Just outside your open window mods
lovely rose,
Keeping watch with breath like, incense
DER your sweet repose;
Nightingales sift LIQUID music through the
leaves near by,
Softened by the soothing distance comes
the owls shrill cry;
Leaves bend low to laugh and listen as
they watch your face.
Whispering softly lest they wake you from
that pose of grace.
Surely never mightiest monarch had a
sweeter nest,
Never thoughtful love more loyal watched
the couch he pressed;
Flowers to glad you when you Waken with
their bliss and bloom,
Clarifying every corner OF the humble
room;
Faithful Fido crouching ready at your tiny
feet,
One of many hearts which guard you in
your snug retreat.
Surely sleep must needs be perfect for a
babe like you,
Soul so void of leaks and lying that no
sins creep through;
Heart as innocent of hatred as of vicious
thought,
Face on which no evil fancies fiendish fres-
Goes wrought;
Sleep without remorse to write its record
in black dreams,
Mite to which all faith and fullness means
just what it seems.
Would that we could sleep as calmly in
untroubled rest,
No remorseful recollections branded in our
breast
Sleeping tranquil as the fowerets waiting
for the morn,
Nothing to distract our slumbers like the
babe new born;
Thou shalt wake to love and laughter
though thy face be hid
Meath the flowers which veil with splen-
dor thy white coffin lid.
I. EDGAR JONES.

Do HOES Need Exercise?

A writer says that one objection to
keeping hogs in small lots is that
they do not exercise enough. That
depends on the size Of The lot, the
size of the hog and the purpose for
which he is being kept. The hog that
has completed his growth and is be-
ing fitted for the market does not
need very much exercise: little will
keep him in good health. The boar
that is being kept for breeding pur-
poses needs good deal of exercise.
The pig that is growing needs some
exercise, but not so much as some of
us imagine. The hog that has been
developed along the lines that bring
prizes has not the inclination to exer-
else that the old wild boar had. If
given a fair-sized lot, the pigs will
suit themselves in the matter.-Farm-

Keeping Meat in Summer,

Meat that has been smoked or dried
can be kept in perfect condition
through the summer by packing it
in dry salt and keeping it in cool
clubhouse. A dry cellar might do, but
l have never tried it. In packing do
not allow the pieces to touch each
other nor to touch the side. bottom
or any other part of the barrel or
box in which it is placed. Fill all
spaces with salt. The meat takes no
more salt but remains just as it was
put away. No bugs, flies or anything
of that kind can get at it. 1t does
not mold nor take moisture, neither
does it dry any more. I have prac-
ticed this method for 20 years and
find it entirely satisfactory. The salt
is not lost as it can be given to stock.

How to Plant Popcorn

Popcorn may be planted closer
than any other varieties. One plan OF
planting is to make the burrows three
feet apart and have the corn stand
one stalk in a hill, IA inches apart in
the rows. If the corn is planted very
early or late it will not suffer so
much from the worms as the medium
planted crops. Where irrigated, care
must be taken in keeping the water
from the stalks and not give the
plants more than two periods of IT.

The poor ears can be fed to poultry
with profit and the fodder is relished
