THE CARE OF LIVESTOCK.

II the testimony of great numbers oil
the readers of The New-York Tribune
Farmer is fair basis for the formation
of correct opinion, then what is known
as its Veterinary Department is every
where esteemed highly. 1t is, however
more than a veterinary department. DR.
C. d. Smead, who has had charge Of II
for more than five years, every week an
swers very many questions in regard 70
every variety of livestock known on the
American farm, not alone prescribing
medicine and treatment, but telling how
the diseases might have been prevented
and laying down specific rules for feed
and care In health, in sickness and in
convalescence. Every farmer keeps
some livestock-good veterinarians are
scarce.
Each inquirer is fully answered, but
DIR. Smead goes far beyond this; be be
lieves that any information which one
intelligent farmer needs is also needed
by hundreds and thousands Of others
and he often so broadens his answer as
to make it complete essay on the sub
ject discussed. A year or two ago Mr.
b. Walker McKeen, of Fryeburg, Me-.
said in meeting of farmers that valu
able horse had been attacked with dis
ease of which he had known nothing
until he had recently read of it in The
New-York Tribune Farmer; what Dr.
Smead had taught him enabled him tc
save his horse. Another farmer arose
and said he had had similar experience
Five or six hundred dollars saved in one
town by one copy of the paper! e. C.
Waller, NJ. D., of North Troy, VI, writes
to DR.. Smead, under date of April %
81 desire to express my gratitude to you
through The New ork Tribune Farmer
and to say that regard you as the most
able, practical and thoroughly safe
writer of the present age, and to express
my hope that you may live to serve the
farmer and our dumb friends for many
years to come"
The regular price of the New-Yors
Tribune Farmer is One Dollar a year
but we will send it with The OXFORD
Democrat, both papers one year fol
