LIVESTOCK ITEMS.

Stock should be fed a variety of
food. Many f1ocks and herds have to
subsist almost entirely upon grain
foods the entire year, which is an in
judicious mode OF feeding. Vegetables,
either raw or cooked, or mixed with
ground grain, are excellent, but there
is nothing equaling liberal supply
of grain morning and night, with
plenty of grass during the day, and
if the pasture is supplied with mixed
heritage so much the better. Variety
conduces to health and promotes
thrift.
A sheep will not touch hay that other
stock has nosed over. They must eat
at the first table or not at all. The
refuse from the sheep racks may be
thrown to the cattle, but it would be
useless to throw the stubs left in
the cattle managers to the sheep. So
with the corn and oats; the sheep
do not like the grain the rats have
played over or the sparrows roasted
above the feed bins. The best corn
shelters have a fan attachment that
blows out all dust and loose particles
of husks.
A variety of food of any kind will
be preferred to one Or two articles
regularly given. Cattle that are daily
allowed hay and grain, if permitted to
have access to wheat straw or corn
stalks, will eat quite quantity OF
such materials, and if the straw or
corn fodder is cut up and ground
grain added, even horses have been
known to thrive on such at all sea-
sons. Where a liberal supply of
grain is allowed there is no risk in
cured by feeding the coarse foods to
any class of stock, and it is an ad-
vantage to do so in order to feed less
hay when the season has not been
favorable to grass and hay making.
Some horses will eat at all times
and consume almost any quantity of
food without appearing to improve in
condition, although they may be doing
not much work. Horses differ, and
what is best for one may not give as
good results with others. Good groom
ing is an important matter, but there
is not, as a rule, sufficient variety
in the food of horses. While oats will
continue to be standard food for
horses, yet a small allowance of lin
seed meal and corn fodder will also
be relished and give excellent results.
Hay and fodder should prove supe-
rior to hay alone.
A common fruit tree sprayer, such
as are used by orchardists, is a much
more convenient way to destroy lice
on cattle than it is to apply the rem
edy by hand. A hose with line
nozzle which will throw very me
spray is best, but its point should be
held close to the skin. Two or three
applications may be needed, as some
of the lice may be in the egg, and
not be destroyed by the first applica-
ton.
Every country blacksmith includes
horseshoeing as a part of his business,
but many of them do not understand
the conformation of the foot of horse
and frequently do harm. Each foot
may require a special shoe, and there
are peculiarities and individual traits
of horses which must be considered,

farther Brescia was held by Julia Con-
zaga's army. Only a few weeks had
passed since Della Scala, falling first
on Verona and taking it had marched
on Milan and almost snatched it from
Visconti's unsuspecting hold. But the
alarm given at Valentines wedding
feast had come in time. With almost
superhuman energy, in two hours time
Visconti armed the walls and put the
city in defense. To surprise victory
was impossible. Still the duke OF
Verona's army was only some fifteen
miles from the walls, and day by day
