Care Of Horses.

1t is a very good practice to clip
horses, partly or in whole, at this
time of the year. We believe that the
European custom Of clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come,
is rather better than our own usual
method of either clipping all over or
stopping just above the knees and
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part of the horses body from
long hair is a decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts, and this is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to save the horse.
Half clipping allows what mud ad.
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-.
lly removed, and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature is surprised by the
hrst warm weather in the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat of win
Ter hair, and he perspires profusely at
MS ordinary work. Most of the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly,
keeping the whole horse wet from its
vapor' If this can be overcome, the
rest OF the horses body can be dried
on with comparative ease. The only
way TO overcome it at this time Of
year Is to clip the lower half of all OF
the body.
Clipping the lower part of the legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud. and this sort Of
chipping Is done more to save work
Ihere are not many who advocate
's practice clipping the entire body

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD SoWs
SKINNED Milk Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats 10 Excellent
Ration for Shoats.

The best food for brood sows is
SKINNED milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
is a healthy and economical food.
The brood SOW should be kept in good
condition, but not fat: Corn is not a
suitable food; a few ears Of corn
may be fed after the slop is eaten, if
the SOW is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin. the pens; let them
have the use Of this pasture every
suitable day; she needs exercise.
Well-cured clover hay. cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop, will reduce
t. grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give q warm
bed of straw or leaves-leaves make
tn, best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
allowed to run in the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burrow in the
fermenting manure, as 1t is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. If the hogs cannot have a
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty Of fresh.
clean water and a liberal supply Of
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal.
The best food for shoats Is equal
quantities of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran.
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean.
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred SOW that will rear litter
of pigs and is good mother is worth
$50. Have a separate pen for each
SOW, Make fender rail around the
pen to prevent the SOW from crushing
the young pigs. Sows will farrow 16
weeks after being served.

early in the spring. This is a vaIu-
able and perfectly feasible practice
where the driver knows his business
and protects the horse from sudden
changes and bad weather, but it is
safer to follow the half clipping plan
for most horse owners, until warm
weather has come to stay, and with
its advent most Of the reason for clip
ping horses departs.
Pneumonia and kindred diseases are
more prevalent at this time of year
than at any other, and this prevalence
is due more to changing seasons and
work than to any other one cause. AS
far as possible. avoid getting your
horses too warm, and protect them
carefully while they are cooling and
drying off. While it Is desirable to
get them dry as soon as possible after
stopping work, they must not run any
risk of chilling while drying.
Where horses have box stalls or can
roll around on an ample supply of dry
bedding they will dry out fairly soon.
If there are large number of them
in the same room, means must be pro-
vided to drain the liquid manure from
the stall floors as fast as possible,
and the stable room must be thor
oughly ventilated, without drafts.
Horses which are clipped all over
do not suffer from the first warm
weather as much as unclipped or part
ly clipped horses. They perspire less,
and hence dry off faster. For this
very reason it is necessary to blanket
them carefully during cool weather in
order to keep them from drying too
rapidly and contracting colds.
With the opening Of the spring sea-
son many horses which have been do
ing but light work during the winter
will be required to start in doing
full days work, and this change will
be made very suddenly. As a result,
they will develop the various troubles
that afflict green horses, and it is we'll
to take all possible precautions
against such troubles. Start them in
as easily as possible, increasing the
work gradually.

Soda Lake in Africa.

the rainy season, which in this local.
ity is short, its surface is covered with
shallow layer of water. When a
