| CLIPPING THE LEGS OF HORSES.
/ The question is very often mooted
as TO whether or not it is advisable
to clip a horses legs. Speaking in a
general way, it may be stated, with

any rate. sks lower part Of them, vine,
a horse is having his winter coat
shortened, for the very good reason
that the long hair affords a certain
amCz.s 81 protection against the eff
fecls OF wet and dirt to the legs The
unciipped hair in NO wise interferes
with the comfort Of the animal, nor is
1t in any way an encumNaace. On
the other hand, the clipping Of the
legs involves the drawback that they
are deprived CT the protection against
wet and dirt. as stated above None
the less the legs of horses are very
commonly clipped along with the body
for the reason that it adds greatly TO
the smart appearance OF the animal
The fact that it improves the appear
tRs 50 reason that can be advanced
In favor OF the practice OF clipping a
horses limbs, and unless appearances
are really of great importance-aad
this can only be so in the case OF !
pleasure horses-it is decidedly ad- |
EIsable to refrain from doing so. The |
legs, along with the head. are the /
worst and most difficult parts to clip |
IN a horse, and it takes long time |
% do them. and great many horses
which are otherwise quiet and docile
enough, object TO their legs being clip
red. and give a lot of trouble when
his is being done. For this reason
lone, If for no other, il is best to
cave the legs untouched
When a horse is specially predis-
'osed TO suffer from cracked heels,
+ from mud fever, the animal ought
lot to have its legs clipped on any
consideration whatsoever, as to do SO
ill greatly increase the risk of its
these complaints In al.
ases where a horses legs are clip
ed, the hair in the hollow Of the heel
hould not be cut with the clippers, |
ut it should merely be trimmed
lightly with a pair of stable scis-

FARM NOTES

A record should DE kept of the
Ireeding of each COW SO that it will
be known when she is to calye. and
then allow her to go dry six weeks
before caiving.
One who has tried 1t says that the
most successful treatment that he
has found for all wounds in horses
feet is to clean out the wound and
pour full of hot taIlow or lard. This
seems TO give very little pain and one

Prot. J. T. Ferguson says he has
found the following meal mixture to
give very satisfactory results with
hogs: Oats, finely ground. so per

A brood soE should be fed variety,

tening and should not be fed in large
quantities. It promotes neither growth
OF the SOW nor pigs. Some green vege-
table food should be given in winter.
Breeding animals need an album
dance of exercise. Feeding animals
also need exercise, but not so much
as should be given breadfnp animals
1t is best TO promote the tendency
towards laziness. allowing just enough
exercise to maintain the health of the
body
Salt should be kept where the ami
mails can obtain it at all times. but ii
should never be mixed with their
feed. The animals can tell better
than the owner how much salt they
need, and If It is mixed with the feed
there is liability Of getting too much

Where Remains Of Extinct Animals
Are Most Likely to Be Found.

| Wherever you find salt or sulphur

the bones of nastodons and other

Many persons suppose that the
presence OF these bones in grea-
numbers indicates that the animals
had sort of common cemetery, like
the 1lamas of Chile, which when they
felt death coming On always made
for the nearest stream or pond. and
IL they could get there died in the
water,
That, however, is likely only a 81
perstttion- The mastodon bones in
salt CT sulphur marsh indicate thai
the animals went there 20 drink the
water and occasionally one got mired
and was sutfocated. The great nuG1-
