it. Where it is absolutely necessary to
do work at this time. a small amount
of salt added to the water will pre-
vent freezing; this does not damage
the concrete where used in small
quantities.
An objection is some times raised
that concrete floors and walks are too
smooth and become slippery when wet
This fault is largely due to the fact
that the finishing surface was COM
pleted with steel smoothing trowel
instead of wooden trowel, smoothing
board, or straight edge. which would
have left the surface rough. This fault
is also overcome, in a great measure,
by dividing the wearing surface into
small squares about four inches OF
each side, by means of triangular
grooves three-eights of an inch il
depth. This not only makes a nea
appearance, but furnishes a good foot
hold for stock.

4 Word of AdUice TO Farmers.

Spring is close at hand and it is time
to be getting ready to put in the crops.
Among other things to think of in this
connection is the matter of getting the
horses into condition. The first work
in the spring is the hardest ef the
year. and the horses are the least pre-
pared to do heavy work. To be
deprived of the use of horse in the
spring is serious, even though the
horse is not greatly deprecated in
value or lost entirely. Young horses.
especially, should be broken and given
some work during the winter and should
be fed some grain. This will tougher
their shoulders, and at the same time
they will have become accustomed to
grain and will, therefore, be less liable
to collie. and in every way better able
to stand the work.
A sudden change of food in horses
is always dangerous. but to start a
colt in on grain, with heavy work, that
has never had either, is almost sure to
be disastrous. A young horse especi-
ally cannot stand heavy pulling all day
on soft ground unless his shoulders are
well hardened by regular work in the
collar.
Here are few suggestions which
will be well worth remembering: When
horse is tired, he is much more sub
| ject to collie. Do not change the feed
on the horse during heavy spring work.
There is much more danger in feeding
corn or wheat than there is in feeding
oats. Water your horses when you
first bring them in from the field; then
let them eat hay for half hour, and
give them their grain last. Pull their
shoes off while doing the spring work.
Remember. the horse will have q
heavy coat of hair, and will, therefore,
sweat easily and be all the more likely
to catch cold and get pneumonia. For
the first week or two bathe the neck
and shoulders with cold water every
night after the days work is done.
See that the collar fits snug and that
the hames are buckled up tight. The
shoulders are less likely to be scalded
and bruised without pad than with it.
If the horse gets sweenied. he will
have to be laid off for several months.
Guard against that dangerous disease
azatouria This disease almost invar-
iably comes on after the horse has been
resting two or three DAYS during a
storm and kept on full feed. Reduce
the grain at least one-half while the
horse is not at work
Founder is caused from too much
feed, a sudden change of food. or II
drink of water when the animal is
warm. Distemper is especially liable
to attack the young horses in the
spring of the year, just when their
services are most valuable. This dis
ease is contagious, and care should be
exercised against exposing the young
horses to the Infection. the most com
mon way that young horses get this
disease is when they are taken to town
and allowed to drink out of public wa
tering troughs and tied to hiiching
posts where other horses have been
tied that had the disease.
