The Horne and Hi. Feet.

Each time the horse comes into
the stable the feet should be lifted
and cleaned out with hook. Where
this is done there will be far fewer
cases of nail prick, for it is very
common thing for nail to lie along
side of the frog, or in the cleft, do
ing no harm until the horse happens
to tip the nail in paving; then it is
stepped upon and the mischief is
done. This practice also saves horses
from becoming troubled with
thrush for the disease is noticed
at its inception and is then easily
cured by application of calomel and
the more careful cleansing of the
stable.-Rural World.

WHAT AILS THE PIGS7
A Question That Cannot Always BE
Answered to the Satisfacti
of Anxious Inquirers.

Pigs get out of fix and it is usually
through some disarrangement of the
stomach. There are some general
rules that should be observed at all
times for the purpose of protecting
the health of the herd. A profita BILE
hog that is ready and eager to eat
must, therefore, be a healthy hog.
A great deal of the trouble with pigs
and hogs is occasioned by constipa-
ton. This is the beginning of their
troubles that later are not SO easily
removed, says American Swineherd.
It is therefore one of the first
things in looking after your hogs
health to prevent constipation. OF
course, a hog may be all right in the
bowels and yet become afflicted. But
it is the exception and not the rule.
1t takes vigilance at all times to pre-
serve the health of the hog. Adopt
cleanly methods about the pens and
feeding troughs. Have a dry place
for them to sleep in. Don't expose
them to draughts in their sleeping
quarters. Don't overfeed. Don't
make sudden changes of feed. Give
them charcoal and ashes or charred
cobs. Spread lime around their sleep
ing quarters and feed troughs.
When pig is off his feed there is
something wrong, and you want to get
him back there as quick as possible.
Don't do it by trying to force him to
eat. On the other hand, take away
his feed and if constipated give him
physic. Look out for worms, prevent
lice, provide him with plenty of fresh
water, plenty of salt and ashes, plen-
ty of range and if he gets sick the
percentage of exceptions are small.
The sick hog is an improbable hog.
1t you doctor him it costs money, it
costs time and it causes loss of gain
in the hog. 1t takes great deal of
extra feed to get him started again to
the point where his health failed him.
Therefore it is far better to spend a
little time in preventing these ailments
by careful watchfulness.

MUSIC IN DENTISTRY.
French Expert Uses q Phonograph in
Place of Laughing Gas or Other
Anaesthetfca.

NJ. Donier, one of the leading dentists
OF Paris, is using the photograph to
lessen the horror of tooth drawing.
He has three large establishments in
the busiest part of the French cap
ital, and he noticed that those patients
to whom he was obliged to give an
anaesthetic-no matter of what kind,
even if it were only laughing gas
showed unfavorable symptoms when
they awoke from Inconsistencies,
their condition being largely due to
the effect of the noise of the traffic
in the street outside. They suffered
from severe headache and interior
ence with vision; but what distressed
them most was that during the time
they were under the influence of the
anaesthetic they had usually horrid
dreams or imaginings.
The dentist saw that if he could
keep the noise from the ears, and con-
sequently from the mind also, of his
patients, great good would be done.
The only way to do this was to create
a louder counteracting noise or sound,
which should be pleasant, not nerve
irritating. Obviously music was the
thing. He tried photograph, and
still uses it. When patient is seated
in his chair he places the monographs
tubes to the ears and allows the in
strument to work for a little while.
Then he administers the anaesthetic,
and he finds that the patient becomes
unconscious much more quickly and
easily, and requires much less anaes-
thetic than was formerly the case.
Not only that, but he can perform
the dental operation without inter-
ruption, and when the patient recov-
ers consciousness the after effects are
slight indeed compared with those
which nearly always presented the m-
selves before the photograph had been
numbered among the dentists pro-
fessional instruments.
Another form of suffering, more or
less mental, which music has the pow
er to relieve is insomnia. At time
when the great majority of people
were quite unaware Of this, the first
Napoleon put his knowledge of the
fact into practice. After his Danish
ment to st. Helena, sleep was for long
time almost denied to him, and the
effect on his general condition became
SO bad that his attendants became Sc
riously alarmed. At last he said:
81 must have a couple of hours of
music before going to bed And night
after night he took the pleasant "dose"
he had prescribed for himself. So I'M
expectedly good were the results that
instead of the ''long wakefulness' that
Lord Rosebery refers to in Napoleon:
the Last Phase" the fallen emperor

Profit in Large Flocks.

II a man can make a reasonable
profit out of ten hens, and there can
be no question but what he can, there is
no reason why he cannot make 100
times as much out of a thousand hens,
provided he gives them the same care
and attention. Few, however, are pre-
pared to do this, and it is for this rea-
son that SO many failures occur with
a greater number. With large range,
q few hens will take care of themselves
and make up for good deal of neglect
that would prove fatal to success with
large number That there is money
in poultry no one can doubt, but to get
the most out of it one must have ex-
perience and learning sufficient to en-
able him to use feed, labor and all to
advantage.-O. P. Bennett, in Farm
ers' Review.

THE CRY FOR BONE.
Care in Feeding and Jud;cious
Treatment Are Necessary.

We hear heap about bone in hogs,
and it may be worth while to think
a little about it. If some of those who
write about more bone and how to
get it would think little more their
articles would not mislead so much.
We are told over and over, says the
National Stockman, and many people
actually believe, that the modern hog
is deficient in bone," and that we
must turn to some big, coarse-boned
strain to correct this defect.
There are two kinds of deficiency in
bone. One is a lack of quantity and
the other is a lack of quality. There
are few domestic animals that have
too little bone, but there are many
that have too weak bone. The way
to improve the bone is not to breed
to increase its size but to feed to in
crease it's strength. In so dong the
size will be increased somewhat. Ra-
tional care will also do much to inn
prove the quality of bone. The brood
sows and the sire should have plenty
of exercise, they should be fed we'll
balanced foods, they should have ac-
cess to the earth or to substitutes
therefore. With this kind of treat
ment there is little danger Of raising
a hog without bone enough to support
all the meat he ought to carry. And
with this kind of treatment the mod
ern American type-the best that has
yet been produced from both the pro-
ducer's and the killers standpoint
can be preserved. A violent cross for
bone is not necessary for the man
who will study the feeding and care of
hogs

Thorouxhbred and Scrub.

In point OF feed it costs less to
maintain and mature thoroughbred
or high grade steer than a scrub; no
more space for shelter is required
for the one than the other, but the
one of good blood can be put into
marketable shape earlier, presents
better appearance and commands a
higher market price than the scrub.
And aside from consideration of
relative financial results there is
great deal more pleasure in caring
for neat, compact, thrifty and hand

USEFUL TREE INDEED.
Its Pith In Being Used az q Cattle and

We herewith reproduce from the
Australasian cut of the ''bottle
tree" which is now being used as
fodder in Australia. According 20
some reports only the pith of the
tree is used as feed; according to
Others all of the tree inside the bark
is edible for cattle, and the branches
also are utilized in this way. We
quote from Brisbane Queensland,
Australia,) paper: The value of the
bottle tree as fodder for stock dur
ing times of drought has been
brought under the notice of the ag-
ricultural department by Mr.. Z. Bow
man, of Bauhiniavale, Taroom. He
states that trial was first made by

ting down tree for the leaves, when
the sheep began to run after the
chips, and SO the tree was opened up
with the result, he says, that every
head of stock event mad over it."
Mr.. Bowman, although he has no
grass, has bought 900 merino ewes
on the strength of the discovery.
Lambs eat it as we'll as the old sheep.
An instance is given of a 15-year-old
pet wether. without tooth, growing
fat since eating the tree. Any kind
little use of it. Mr.. Bowman consid-
ers that it will soon be carried on
the railway at fodder rates. He
stated that cows which were almost
dry from want of condition are now
not only fat and strong, but are Civ
ing good yield of milk. Bottle
trees often contain from 50 to 100
tons of fodder. There are plenty of
bottle trees within easy reach of the
railways. Mr.. Bowman believes that
hundreds of stock can be saved with
it. The trees will keep for months
in the log with the bark on. The
tree is allied to the equity stem tree
(Adansonia Gregorii, being thick
ened below, tapering upwards, or
often swollen in the middle to the
extent of 80 to 40 feet in circum-
ference, with an apparently small
tree growing out of its apex, SO that
it has been compared to the neck

and porous, and contains much muci-

tanned by pressure, and is used as

times even ten hours.
But perhaps the strangest use to
which music can be put is to stop the
flow of blood from wound. An army
doctor noticed that when wounded
soldier was taken to within easy hear
ing of music, hemorrhage was either
greatly reduced or actually stopped.
Neither he nor others, who confirmed
his observations, could understand
how this phenomenon was brought
about, but it is now believed that the
vibrations of the air produced by the
music causes the patient to become
faint, in which case the action of the
heart is so considerably lessened that
the overflow of blood is reduced.-Chi-

where the Profit Comes In.

If it takes 20 bushels of corn to the
acre to pay the expenses of raising a
crop, and we raise but 20 bushels per
acre, we are not making any Roadway.
But every bushel we raise above the 20
bushels per acre is that much more to
be added to the profit side of the ledger.
And there is where the farmer or mer-
chant must do his best thinking and
use his best efforts to increase his crop

Keep the Hens ON the Go.

Egg-eating might be called the trick
Of an IDLE hen. Male birds seldom, if

are compelled to work hard all day for
their food seldom contract the egg
eating habit. If better care were given
the hens all over thecountry the waste
that goes on would pay the debt Of one
state year, if it could be saved
Thousands that die might be saved;
many tons of food thatare now wasted
could be saved, and so many eggs are
frozen, eaten by hens, and lost under
barns and outhouses, that if saved
would make us rich.-MidlandFa Farmer.

Warm Water for Poultry.

. A good way to give the poultry water
in the winter is to get a five-gallon oil
can with faucet near the bottom. Fill
it with water and set it on the stove
until the water is rather warm. Then
wrap the can in old blankets or piece
of old carpet and set it on block in
the poultry house. Turn the faucet SO
it win drip rapidly but not run stream,
putting pan under to catch the drip.
Water in such can will keep warm
from morning till night and the fowls
will be saved from warming it with
the heat of their bodies after drink
ing it.-Co Commercial Poultry.
