lIorses Need Exereise.

In feeding horses on grass in the
summer they do not particularly need
grain as long as they have the run OF
the field or good pasture. although
they will do better with little grain
added, writes a Maine farmer In the
New England Homestead. When
horse is In pasture he has pure air,
and that Is something we should try
TO get In the stable.
Exercise is absolutely necessary TO a
horse without this be will not develop
properly. breeding mares especially
require exercise. They should be hitch
cd up and made TO do the light work
Oh the farm There is no danger in
working mnres regularly right up TO
the time Of foaling. II the mare is fat
and tiabby you will get fat and fab
by colt II she is in good working con-
dition. with good hard flesh. you will
nnd the colt 10 be the same.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Stoppane Of the Teat.

A very common trouble In the ordi-
nary dairy Is 70 tind an animal with
the point OF the teat closed. either due
to bruise OF the teat itself or 70 In
lection or the milk duct which causes
little scab 20 form over the point OF
the teat. and unless this - properly
handled with care and cleanliness the
infection is apt 10 cause loss OF the
entire quarter.
The proper manner IN which 10 ham
die and treat such cases is to thor
oughly wash the teat In an antiseptic
solution. then dip a teat plug into a
healing ointment and insert into the
point OF the teat. allowing same 10 re-
main from one milking 20 another. In
this manner closure OF the point Of the
teats can be overcome in very simple
and satisfactory way.
Never use milling tube II II can
possibly be avoided, as there Is much
danger OF injecting the entire quarter
by the use OF the tube.-Dr. David
Roberts. Wisconsin State Veterinarian.

Butter can be spoiled by using a
churn that has not been properly
cleansed and aired. Churning should
DO done at least twice a week. When
the cream is ready for churning Their
mometer should be used for testing
the temperature. and when II is cold
the cream should be warmed, or IL II
is too warm cold water should be used.
Care must be used In churning or the
butter Will be spoiled. After the but
ter begins 20 separate from the cream
It should be churned gently and the
butter globules only stirred sufficiently
TO pack them together. In working
the butter the buttermilk must be got
out entirely.
Buttermaking is not a complicated
process, but needs care and cleanliness
In all its details. Butter well made
and carefully packed down with about
one ounce OF salt 10 the pound and
stored in a cool place will keep for
months or until a time when butter is
scarce and commands good price

FOR THE CHILDREN
About Birds Nests.

II Is known that birds nest Is Of
ten an indication OF its surroundings.
as In the case Of city sparrow's nest,
which Is usually made OF strings, bits
OF cotton. wisps or straw and hay,
toothpicks. cloth. the hair OF horses
and such mixture. In certain mu-
scum In Europe there was displayed a
nest made OF steel. Did you ever hear
Of such a thingf Yet the explanation
is simple. A pair OF wagtails had built
their nest In tree which stood near a
town In which dwelt several clock
makers. These birds gathered up the
thin spiral shavings and built their
nest. You might ask how the birds got
the steel shavings- Simple enough.
The windows Of these clock shops
were frequently left open. and the
birds helped themselves.
The nest was more than -four inches
across. and the ingenious way In
which these strands Of steel were
made 10 ft into one another and WOW
en- 80 compactly was marvellous when
the birds trifiing bit Of strength is
considered. Have you ever examined
a nest made OF straw and twigs7 Is II
not wonderful?

A linseed poultice should always be

To clean chIldren's teeth use a little
precipitated chalk once a day. Cam
phorated chalk should be avoided. as
II makes the teeth brittle.

Measuring a Stream.

Two men standing on the bank OF a
broad stream. across which they could
not cast their fishing lines. could not

point was offered and accepted. and
the question was presently decided for
them by an ingenious friend who came
along without any particular appli-
ances for measurement
He stood on the edge OF the bank.

sists Of two bars. telescoping one on

shaped like the letter "a" To tho
tops Of these uprights the hammock is
swung. Advantages OF this support
are that the two ends can be moved
