Dividing a Stall.

In some barns the stalls are sufti-
GENTLY wide SO that they may be
divided when occasion requires If
some temporary division can be easily
made, put in place and removed when
desired. A plan for doing this is shown
in the illustration. A gate Is made
Of proper material reaching from the
manger to the end of the stall. The
post of this gate at the end is made
about foot longer than the lower
rail and a hole Is made in tho floor
through which this post is slipped
when put In position and thus makes
the gate or fence firm. At the manger-
end the fence is fastened to the man
ger by pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
jolst above with bolt, one over the
manger-end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each of these
sticks q notch is cut which comes over
staple on the fence and holds it,

Care of Horses Necks.

Nine out of every ten farm horses
suffer from abrasions of the skin on
the neck during the spring work and
this is SO severe in many cases as to
keep the horse from doing a full days
work. Try this plan of treating the
farm horse during the season of hard
work. After feeding the horse brush
off or, better still, wipe it off with
large cloth. Then, with tepid water,
sponge the head, neck and shoulders
and wipe dry with clean cloth.
If the shoulders show indications of
soreness rub over them a little vase
line and let it remain over night. Sec
that the collar worn fits well and after
taking it off wipe it thoroughly with
damp cloth and hang 1t where il
will be thoroughly dry in the morn
ing. 1t will pay well to take this little
additional care Of tho horse during
the working season if at no other time.

Grain Feeding.

In some observations recently made
in the feeding of grain to lambs, one
Of the most noticeable results was the
early maturity of those that had grain
from birth. Forinstance, in one trial the
lambs fed with grain from birth at

pounds seven weeks earlier than those
that had had no grain previous to fat
tening, and this weight was reached at
smaller cost in the instance Of the
lambs fod on grain from the start.
1t is hard matter to estimate the
amount Of grain to feed, owing to the
variation in the consuming capacity
of sheep. In starting it has been GUS
tomary to feed from half pound to
one pound. A month later the wethers
will probably be taking from one to
two pounds, and during the last month
from two to three.-American Cultiva-

Soda for Potatoes.

In growing tomatoes nitrogen in the
soil is the least desired of the plant
foods and the best results will come
from phosphoric acid and potash liber-
ally applied broadcast. Much has been
written regarding the use of nitrate of
soda for tomato growing and while
this chemical is good, it should be
used with caution. It's function is to
cause the plant to make q quick
growth; in other words give it Il
start which will be kept up by the
phosphoric acid and tho potash.
This being the case the best way to
use it is to watch the plants closely
as they grow and if any shows lack
OF vigor sprinkle a teaspoonful of the
nitrate of soda about the plant. Us
ually one application will be sufficient
to start such plants off in good shape
and once they get a good start there
will be no trouble If the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva-
ton has been carried on.

Best Food for Fattening Lambs.

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain, but
ar somewhat greater cost Of feed.
Corn and peas made slightly small
Ter gain than the other feeds. But
the difference was SO small that the
convenience Of procuring the feed is
the largest element in the case. AS
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give it preference
in this regard.

Stories of Horses Who Had Ideas of,
Their Own and Lived Up to Them.
There are many instances of horses
refusing to perform their allotted du-
ties. A certain farmer at Sateley, in
Hampshire, tells a story Of a cart
horse which he bought cheap at
horse sale near Aldcrshot. AS events
turned out, this animal proved by no
means a bargain, for from the day he
was bought to the time the disappoint-
ed purchaser sold him for mere
song" this stubborn beast absolutely
refused to do any work.
He would submit to being harnesSed
in the most exemplary manner, but
when once this operation was perform
ed the willy animal would not bulge

mule, which frequently decides to take
a rest, and In Italy it is often found
necessary to light fire underneath

duced to "moye on"
A well-known race horse trainer in
Sussex once had horse which would
only work when in the mood for it.
Time after time this curiously dis
positioned animal would, when run
ming in hurdle races, lead his field, and
appear to be winning easily, until the
last hurdle was reached. He then pre-
sumably thought that he had done
enough work, for he would stop short,
and, digging his front hoofs into the
ground, would allow every horse in the
race to pass him. after which he would
quietly trot Off to the paddock.
Apparently there was method In this
peculiar idiosyncrasy, for his trainer
was Of opinion that the horse counted

Water Before Feeding,:,.

Horses should be watered before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the experimental test. A horse
was fed with four quarts OF whole
oats, and Immediately after given
water to drink. Soon after the horse
was killed and opened. Scarcely a
quart of oats was found swimming
in the water in the stomach, the re-
naming three quarts having been
forced by the water into the intestines.
Another horse was given water first,
and then about four quarts of oats.
Fifteen minutes after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
Of oats was found in the stomach, and
already digestion was setting in.
Horses require more water in hot
weather than in cold, and more when
at work than when idle. Horses at
full work should be watered frequent
ly; three times day is not too often.
The hay and grain should always be.

Farm Notes.

Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain as
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
Sweet food for hogs is bettor than
that which is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunings from the
garden and orchard should be burned.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication Of an animal being
out Of condition.
Coal ashes, as well as wood ashes,
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils.
Conveniences for watering and feed
ing stock are items in saving time,
labor and feed on the farm. Az
Corn and oats, half of each, ground
together. make one of the best kinds
Of feed for cows in milk.
The best way to get rid Of the cur
rant worm is to dust the leaves with
white hellebore.
In nearly all cases, the best animals
are the offspring of mature parents on
both sides.
Be ready to cut clover when the
largest number of plants are III bloom
and are turning brown.
1t should be the aim Of every breed
err of horses to raise well-bred and
well-trained animals.
In the management of clover for hay
It is important not to cure too dry, and
to store under shelter.
On many farms, exposure to the
weather Injuries farm machinery fully

The offspring of immature, undevel-
oped animals is inferior to that OF

the horses and purchased five-ton
