When attacked the sheep generally
rushes towards the flock with it's nose

due to the sting caused by the gad-fy

different ages, the annoyance from

TIMELY LIVESTOCK NOTES.

The rung hog cannot root for a liv-
ing.
Look after the watering places in
the pasture. Some of them may be
dried up or have become filthy and un.
fit for use.
Experiments with alfalfa as a feed
have proved beyond a doubt that 1t is
far ahead of any other roughage for
sheep.
The pig and COW pasture should be
separate.
1t is a good plan to keep a good
brood sow as long as she will raise
two good filters of pigs each year.
The SOW is not at her best till she has
raised several filters, and she should
remain profitable till six to ten years
of age.
There will be a good market for
your lambs; never fear about that.
Top them off as quick as o can.
Put a small quantity of copperas In
the drinking troughs and tanks for
stock. 1t purifies the water and rids
1t Of the green scum known as algae.
There are 300, 900 horses in the lit.
tie country of Belgium that has less
than ~one-sixth the ares Of South Da-
kota.
Never mate a big ram with a small
eve. Best to breed animals of the
same type.
A horse is more liable to scare with
than without binders.
Fifty hogs in a bunch will thrive
better than a large bunch.
See that the water supply is pure
and clean.
See that the supply Of salt does not
get low.

ERRORS IN HORSESHOEING
Three or Four Irrational Practices
Followed by Country BIacksmiths
That Cannot Be Tolerated,

There are three or four most IRA.
tional practices followed by many
country blacksmiths in the shoeing OF
horses that cannot be too strongly
condemned, says Farm Horseshoeing.
First, the butting away of the frog,
which Is done by a majority of the
country smiths, is a most positive in.
jury to the foot, and can have nc
reasonable argument in it's favor. The
frog is the natural cushion and ex.
pander of the hoof and was placed
there by an allwise Creator. To cut
1t out means not only to rob the foot
of the cushion hat should soften the
conclusion of every step, but to allow
the foot to contract at the heel and
become m~isshapen and crippled.
Another mistaken idea Is that the
sole of the foot should be thinned till
it will yield to the pressure of the
thumbs. The sole proper should never
be touched by the knife. All loose
scale may be trimmed away, but the
knife should never cut either the sole
or the frog. All trimming on the bot.
tom of the foot should be done by the
rasp, which will trim the edge and
not the sole.
Cutting of a frog or sole in any way
works an injury by causing the tbs.
ues to shrink and become hard and
dry. A frog that has been trimmed
by the knife often dries so as to be-
come detrimental to the foot as a
stone or other foreign body. There is
any good excuse for touching
the knife to any healthy frog. 1t will
ear away fast enough If let alone.
The writer never saw one that was
too large.
Hot fitting of shoes to horses feet
should not be allowed by the horses
owner. While 1t may be possible, as
claimed by some horseshoers, that a
better lit is obtained in this way, and
that no real harm is done to the foot
II properly trimmed after touching
with the hot shoe, it is also possible
that a good fit may be obtained by
cold fitting. and the latter process is
certainly safer. If the foot be perfect,
ly leveled with the rasp. and the shoe
be made perfectly level there is no
trouble about making a fit.

CONCRETE FOR HOG TROUGHS
Fast DispIacins Wood on Large Num-

Easily Constructed.

Concrete hog troughs are fast dis
placing those made Of wood on a
large number of farms, and we are
told In Concrete Construction About
the Home and on the Farm" that a
desirable hog trough can be made by
building a bottomless box, six feet
long and IL inches broad by IL inches
deep. From a two-inch plank saw out
two triangles having a base Of IL
inches and a height Of eight inches.
Place these five feet six inches apart
and nail a plank n inch thick ON
each side Of the triangle. Place the
inverted V-shaped trough thus made
inside the bottomless box and put
small triangular strips around the
edges to make a square edge. Fill the
space left with concrete mixture, one
part Portland cement and three parts
