Galled Shoulders in Horses.
As making haveloeks lor the protection of
tlie neck is now nil the fashion, f have con
cluded to send you an account, and directions
for making, of some which I have iu uac and
like very wed indeed.
Some My tlutt if a cellar fits a liorsc as it
should, he will never have sore shoulders.—
Now, 1 do not mink that this is the case, for
I have a pair of hordes who could not be work
ed at plowing or In-.rrowicg for a week, with
out having s.ore suoUiilers, yet their collars /
fitted them well. It seerued that one hide had <
to lie rubbed,and us that of the collar was the '
hardest, the consequence was that the horses'
hide got the rubbing.
The galls I could soon cure,but if the horses
were worked I could not prevent them. From J
observation 1 have been convinced thai some ;
have weak shoulders, and that it is transmit
ted from generation.
Chancing one day to take hold of en Fug- j :
!hh agricultural journal, the first thing which J
1 noticed was an editorial proposing thut a
piece of leather should he laid on the horse's
neck under and disconnected from the collar.
I saw that the theory was good, and couclud- I
ed that as one hide had to take a rubbing,the
collar and the leather might settle it between
them as best they could. So having procured '
paper, (not an old Telrgtaph, for they should I
be itied,not because they are not sharp enough
but for the sake of reference,) and scissors,and
cut out a pattern for my haveloek. I cut the
pattern so that it could be sewed together on
top of the neck and in front of the breast, and
at the same time lit the neck neatly without
creasing. They were made considerably wider
that the collar,say from ten inches to one foot.
1 then applied my patterns to a piece of
leather, and cut out their counterparts and
sewed them together, and after soaking thein
over at night, I applied them to the horses'
necks, taking care to keep them smooth and
nice.
Since then my horses have never had sore |
shoulders ; and any one seeing the haveloeks i
after three months' use, would uot wonder
that the horses' shoulders were sore, or rather
would wonder that all horses' shoulders were
uot sore.
I have cured the shoulders of horses not i
having weak shoulders,with the following com
pouud :
Gno<l brand}', 1 quart ;
4 p >und alum powdered ;
1 quart bottle.
The brandy and alnmn should ' c placed in
the bottle, and when used should be well
shaken, the mixture should be rubbed on with
a sponge and a pad (one o d stocking eg
stuffed with straw,) should be placed below
the call, and I will insure a cure if the collar
is as soft as it should be.
I have cured shoulders with this mixtnre
even when the skin was broken, without tak
iug the horse from his work.
1J tit, use the haveloeks, and you won't want
the mixture, and instead, (if you see lit,) can
drink the brandy, ar- doesn't

How to Destroy Thistles.
F. 11. Gordon, of Jennings Forks, Tennes- j
see, writes to the Southern Homestead, thus : j
—" I have never seen the Canada thistle in
this State and hope I never shall. It is a
perennial plant, with deeply penetrating and
rambling roots, which are so tenacious of life
that the ingenuity of farmers in Europe and
the Eeastern States of the Union lias failed to
cheap and easy method of exterminating
them. They are represented as great pests to
meadows, pastures and grain fields.
" The tliistels of this section is a bienuial
plant, being easily destroyed. I will give a
method of exterminating those thistles which
I have tested and found effectual, and cost !
nothing. It consist in learning your hogs to
eat the roots of the plant. Tramp on buds |
of a goodly number of the largest plants, in
the spring season, an 1 place on each a tea
apoonful of salt. Then turn your hogs on them, j
They will eat. the roots of the salted plants
first, and will thus acquire a fondness for tin
roots, and will continue to eat them daily, as
k>ng as they can be found. If one hog be ed
ucated in this way he will soon teach the
whole heard to eat them, and will soon exter
minate all on your farm. I have not found
any difficulty in keeping my farm clear of this
tles since I have adopted this method, which
was more than twenty years ago. Other va
rieties of thistles may not be so easily manag
ed ; but I have neTer seen but one of the same
variety in the West and South.''

KICKING COWS.—I have away to stop kick
ing cows, or to keep them from stepping while
milking. It is this : I begin quite moderate,
and when they begin to hoist a foot I give
the teats a jerk ; by following this np it will
stop any cow, for a cow very much dislikes
teats jerked. If a cow gets into the habit of
starting off, I hold on to the teats as hard as
I can, which soon cures her of that caper.—
trenesce Farmer.
TAUT ABLE LINIMENT. —As for liniments the
best I know of for horses or human beings, for
sprains, swellings, (slight consequent on blows,
Ac.,) in horses, and sore throats and rheuma
tism in horse matters, is as follows : Equal
• parts of hartshorn, (aqua ammonia) oil origa
num, olive oil, gum camphor, laudanum and
spirits turpentine-—all best quality—to which
add three parts of good soft soap. I have
nsei this for several years.— Country Genlte
-man.
PLANTING TKF.ES —A correspondent of the
American Agrecnlturist gives the following
points to be kept in view in planting out trees
of all kinds—especially fruit trees :
Ist. A portion of the roots should be so
near the surface, and in so porous a soil, that
they can enjoy air and snn's warmth.
2-1. Part of the roots must go deep enough
to secure abundant moistnre or sap at all
times—particularly when the surface soil is
temporarily parched by dronght.
3d The subsoil, so tar down as the roots
penetrate, should be of good character ; that
is, it should have been so exposed to the action
of air as to destroy the soluble proto salts of
iron, magnesia, etc ; and also organic acids
otherwise these substances will be absorbed
and act as poison. .
A FEW years ago. several varieties of oats
were importer! into Canada from Great Kritain
They retained their superiority one or two
years, but rapidly degenerated afterward.
