The farmers horse Is apt 10 have

Even with this ~precaution 1t is well TO

ant stocking up or swelling of the
hind legs and ~stiffening of the joints
which so often come upon the highly
fed horse kept in idleness. These swell
ings are really more serious than they
appear, for while they disappear usu-
ally upon the return of the busy DAYS
they are more or less a symptom of
blood poisoning or an impure condition
of the blood, and when 1t becomes ha-
| bitual is looked upon as an unsound-
ness. Many give diuretics, as resin,
saltpeter or ~turpentine, to relieve such
cases, but their frequent use weakens
the urinary organs, and we prefer to
trust to a preventive, as above, and to
lamentations with warm water as a re-
lief. with plenty of rubbing when the
case is very bad.
Feeding Work Horses.
In caring for work horses l like to
give them q drink of water the first
thing in the morning, then some hay
and finally their grain the last thing
before going to breakfast. BY letting
them eat hay awhile before feeding the
grain they are lot quite so hungry and
will not eat so fast. II there is some
thing in the stomach the grain seems
to digest better. The horse will do more
and remain in better condition If work
ed steadily with short stops than he
will If hurried and allowed to stand
still long at a time. The last half hour
before quitting time he should have
short stops often; then when he gets to
the stable he can have some water. At
noon give hay while the driver gets his
dinner; then water and feed the grain.
GIVE a little water when they go out TO
work If they want II.
At night the horses should have some
water when they come in. Then give
hay and afterward more water before
they have their grain. If one does not
feed the same at each feeding the
horses should have the largest amount
at night, when they are going to have
a long rest. / may seem overcautious
about giving water, but the horse
wants plenty Of II, only not too much
at a time. If you viii watch horses In
the yard you will see them go and
drink often and take q little at a time.
In feeding horses one should watch
each animal, as the same rule will not
apply to all.-Agriculturist.
