To drench a horse put a good halter
upon him-not a bride, for the bit in
the mouth will be in the way of the
bottle in giving the medicine; take a
plOw line or a piece of rope of the
clothes line size and make a stationary
loop in one, end about n foot long;
this loop under the nose of b halter
and around the upper jaw-that is, the
mouth; back the horse in q stall or in
a corner and put the free end Of the
rope over a beam or through a ring
or pulley. and raise the head so that
the mouth is just a little higher than
the throat. This rope should be
made fast. but held so that the head
may be promptly lowered if the horse
shows any tendency to cough or Stran-
gle. There should be no exception to
this rule, no matter how much medi-
cine there may be in the mouth-addi-
tional medicine can be supplied more
easily than a horse or mule dead of
strangulation can be replaced. Al
most any sort of a bottle may be used.
One made of metal, leather or horn is
good, because unbreakable, but an or
binary pint bottle will serve the
purpose we'll. A small quantity of
medicine-two to four tablespoonfuls-
should be poured on the tongue by in
serting the neck of the bottle in the
side Of the mouth where there are no
teeth to break it, and then the bottle re-
moved from the mouth until the horse
swallows. To make him swallow it
is not necessary to pull his tongue vio-
lently, pinch his throat, pour water in
his nose nor close his nostrils in any
way. 1t can usually by accomplished
with ease and safety by rubbing the
roof of his mouth with the finger or
the neck of the bottle. This causes
the horse to move his tongue, which
carries the medicine back into the
throat and swallowing takes place

Nest. For Early sitters.

The nests for the early sitters-
winter time, should be made deep and
broad, with the nesting material well
up at the sides, so as to keep the
eggs from getting out from under the
sitter and getting chilled.
The chief reason why a sitter breaks
her eggs is because the nest is so
small that the eggs lie too close to-
gether. and then it she be 4 heavy
hen. she will sometimes break them in
coming back On them after feeding.
The early sitter. will hatch more
chickens from eleven OF thirteen eggs
than she will from fifteen or more. be-
cause she can them more secure
II, and so none of them will be ex-
posed or chilled.
Hens that will have the deep, broad
nests suggested, will hatch all fertile
eggs wen in the very coolest weather.
The chickens will thrive, too, in a snug,
warm coop, and bear close confine-
ment much better than those which
are Matched in more mild, or warmer
weather. But, at Matching time. they
should not be removed from the nest
until the very last one to hatch has
been from the shell fully twenty-four
hours. Let them get very lively. and
quite hungry before they get anything
to eat, or removed to the coop.-H. b.
