ABUSE OF THE HORSE. Is the stall always sweet and well- ventilated-—not at the rear, or in the passageway (and in cool weather), but at the head and in the hottest nights of summer and at (say) 4 o'clock of a stifling woining? You don't know? Well, why don't you? And are you fit to have a horse of you don’t? Is the surcingle always comfortably loose, or as usual, drawn as tight as an average husky groom can draw it “to keep the blankets in place?” Now if it is tight when the animal is stand- ing up, it is far more so when he is lying down, and if you have a horse whom your man says “sleeps standing up” just go personally and give him two or three holés in the surcingle for a few nights (“unbeknownst” to your employe), and then inquire again This carelessness 1s universal and hideously cruel. It bruises the ridge and back, prevents rest and sleep, and is indefensible upon any pretext, for a beast girth, or any of the blankets with straps sewn on, will keep the coveriug in place and allow the suf- ferer—-for he is nothing else—to rest in peace. While you are about it, just measure his haltershank and see if he can lie down. Many a horse is purposely tied too short to save the groom trouble in cleaning him; also see if the band of the halter Is that he can chew }jO that the throatlash is not | pointed that the crownpiece and | n and are not harsh-edged leather and {irritate his ears en offer him a pall of water—or y—and if James has as usual, left him about half cared along until daylight the he can.

Campbell, a Colorado farmer, says he winlered eighty-five ewes on an alfalfa pasture, raised thirty-five lambs and sold forty of the wethers in April for $2.95 a head. [et a dog chase through a pasture where dairy cows are feeding and the flow of nllk that night will be con siderably shortened, The first few strains of milk from each teat should not be milked into the pall, for this milk is very watery, is of little value and is invariably con taminated, which will’ injure the rest of the milk, A good brush should be used for scrubbing the surfaces of milk vessels, There is nothing more objectionable for this purpose than a cloth, particu larly the cloth that has been used for washing the dinner dishes or the pots and pans. A good hand brush can be purchased for a few cents, If you are making cheese from milk, do not throw away the sweet whey but ma¥e it into brown cheese, tuat will as much a pound as the ordi nary cheese, “«. § 8 1t, sell for PURE BRED FOWLS.
