Thrush In Horses, Feet.

Little is known about the origin
of the term thrush" as applied to a
diseased condition Of the frog" or
bold triangular center visible ON the
ground surface of the horses foot,
but the cause or causes giving rise to
the diseases are we'll known, and,
therefore, should be understood.
Filth is the chief factor in the de-
velopment of thrush. Some owners
believe thrush to be contagious, but
there is no contagion about 1t at all,
for remove the filth, clean the feet,
and often the disease will cure itself.
Canker Of the foot is a contagious
disease, however, and Is due to a
parasite Of vegetable origin. Mares
suffer from thrush oftener In the
hind feet than do stations or geldings.

WEAVING THE LAMBS.
Feed the Ewes We'll While Nursing
and the Lambs When Weaned.

Feed the Ewes Well Whiie NURSING
and the Lambs When Weaned.
Lambs should not run with the
ewes after November II the ewes are
desired to lamb early in the year. And
this Is very desirable, as 1t giveb the
ewes a rest to make up their growth,
and puts them through the winter in
good condition and brings the next
season again a littN earlier. When
the lambs are separated from the
ewes 1t will be necessary to give them
a little grain, which is best In the
form Of finely ground meal. This is
wholly used by the lambs, and none
Of It is lost for want Of full digestion.
There is no more satisfactory way to
push the lambs forward for the next
year than to put the eyes on good
feed and 30 supply the lambs with
plenty Of milk of the best quality. To
feed the ewes well, when nursing the
lambs, adds fully a month to their
growth, and thus puts them forward
for a repetition Of the same advance
the year following. What is thus
gained is worth twice as much as any
gain afterward. No one who has not
tried this constant pushing on Of the
lambs will be disappointed with the
results. II easily adds 81 to the value
of each lamb, and this is Of itself
very considerable bonus on the years
income from a flock. Some farmers
especially dislike early lambs for the
reason that they begin to eat too soon,
making it necessary to feed before
the early spring grass is ready. But
one ounce Of meal or bran is worth
more than a full pound of grass. and
the constant practice Of all sheep
Keepers should be to push ahead all
the lambs and keep this larger growth
increasing naturally as the animal
grows older. The last pound Of in
crease in any animal will cost more
than twice as much as the first, and
this rule will apply to all kinds and
conditions of animals, but most Of all
to lambs, and sheep after them. Feed
ing Is an art that must be learned by
practice; 1t may be studied very pro-
fitably by reading the experience Of
others, and so one will know what to
do and what to avoid in his own prac-
tice.

Glass Shelves.

At very little cost one can have
a neat glass bathroom shelf made
with nickel or porcelain brackets to
hold the collection of bottles, brush
es and salve pots that the modern
woman includes among her toilet
requisites. These shelves are sold in
an assortment of sizes and are made
of thick plain glass with rounded
corners. A few of the self labelled
drug and toilet bottles that are now
offered at prices ranging from thir-
ty-five cents up will be useful to
hold toilet water, tooth wash and
the other essential aids to cleanli-
ness and daintiness.

The Odor of Paint.

Every one knows that an onion
has a distinct and unpleasant odor,
whether cooked or raw. But every
one does not know that this odor OF
an onion will draw to it every other
disagreeable odor and clear the at
mosphere in a day.
The onion can then be thrown
away and with it goes the disagree
able smells that come about In a
house that has been closed for the
summer.
And this is also good thing to
know: That 1t will absorb all the
odor from fresh paint and turpen-
tine.

HouseWOrk Mittena.

Kitchen mittens can be bought in
several thicknesses and sizes for va
rious branches of housework. There
are thick ones with straps across
the wrist to wear when polishing the
range, then there are others to put
on when scrubbing floors or sinks
and still thinner ones with chamois
cloth insides to use for polishing
silverware. These mittens are a
great protection to the hands and
finger nails, and they really simplify
the work more than those women
who have not availed themselves OF
this convenience realize.

showing the manner Of putting them

WeIsh-rabbit Points,

The cheese in a Welsh-rabbit will
not separate or become stringy II
the following suggestions are observ-
ed: The rabbit" should not be
cooked directly over a flame, as the
intense heat hardens the albumen in
the cheese; but over hot water, and
the water should not be allowed to
boil. To further insure success, add
a pinch of soda, which serves to
counteract the acidity Of the cheese.
This also makes it more digestible.

pense Of marrying a woman Of rank

Milking Habit.

The matter of short or long period
of milking Of cows is a matter OF
habit. For this reason If during her
first period of lactation she is MIXED
regularly to within few weeks of
dropping her second calf, she accepts
this as her destiny. On the contrary,
II the milking period with first calf is
limited to four months, 1t will be a
difficult matter to overcome the in
clination here as elsewhere. to follow
In the old path. The only remedy is
persistent milking even when but
very little milk can be obtained.

The sick room supply of pillows
must usually be Increased, at least
during convalescence. Pillows are
needed to put under the knees
when the patient begins to sit up in

put chair in the bed with the legs
toward the head the back making

with pillows. 1t is obvious that, no
matter what the disease. all bed
