If one can turn swine or sheep into

Fitting the Collar.

The horse collar is made over
form while wet and suits the taste of
the maker. Then why not make the
collar fit the form of the neck that is
to wear it? To do this, select a col
lar that will fit as nearly as possible
the horse it is intended for. On an
evening thoroughly wet cloths enough
to wrap it up, leaving the collar in
that condition all night. It need not
be a new one. IN old one may be
treated the same way. In the morn
ing, and while wet and soft, put the
collar on the horse, adjust it proper
"; also the names and hame tugs,
and work the horse moderately dur
ing the day, when the collar will dry
and adjust exactly to the form Of the
neck of the horse whose collar it must
be right along. If by getting fatter
or leaner the shape of the neck is
changed, a reshaping Of the collar is
advisable. which can be done as in
the first place.

Clipping Farm Horses.

The advantages of clipping the
farm horses are found not only in the
greater comfort and ease with which
they will do their work, but also in the
fact that when the days work is over
they will dry off very quickly, thus
being in a condition in which the dust
and filth from the days work may be
brushed off and the horse made per-
fecuiy clean for a good nights rest.
Not only is there greater comfort
and better physical condition in the
care of the clipped horse, but there is
less danger from scalded shoulders and
from harness gals. And the clipped
horse, always being dry at night is in
less danger from colds, will work
more easily and keep in good condi-
ton on less feed. The name is a nui-
sance on a farm horse and should be
cut close, thus keeping the horse cooler
about the neck and collar and SO re-
lieving him from the danger of scalded
shoulders.--Cor. Farmers Advocate.

Ducks HAZE No Crnna.

1t will be a surprise to learn that tn
duck has no crop, like other domestic
fowls. The food passes directly from
the throat into a large, roomy duct
which opens directly into the gizzard.
For this reason ducks need soft food,
and when fed such food it is quite
necessary for them to have water
where they can drink when the food
refuses to pass down the passage
which takes the place Of a crop. 1t
is also for this reason that sand is
mixed with their feed, which passes
through into the gizzard and aids
grinding. Ducks are fond of all kinds
of green food and vegetables They
are fond of potatoes when they are
prepared in such a manner that they
can easily eat them. Bran forms the
bulk Of the feed usually employed in
feeding ducks when kept in confine-
ment.

Feeding Hogs.


A hog fed at fair profit until it
reaches 200 pounds will give less profit
with each additional pound, and
point can be reached at which further
feeding can be done only at loss. A
reliable authority says that a certain
amount of food being required to
make a gain on a hog of 80 pounds,
1t will require per cent more food
with a hog Of 70 pounds to make the
same gain, IA per cent more with
one of 125 pounds, % per cent more
on hogs of 225 pounds, and 20 per
cent more on those weighing 325
pounds. The tests upon which these
figures are based were not official, but
it is a well-known fact that with in
crease of age more feed is required to
effect a gain than at earlier age. But
the light weights, those under 200
pounds, cannot be so well handled at
packeries, and hence those who are

to that weight smooth and we'll finish
