Hew to Prevent Galled Shoudeis in
Horses,
MESSRS. EDITORS : —Nothing worries a hu
mane man more than the sight of a horse with
galled and raw or bleeding shoulders, being
compelled to work. The inhumanity of keep
ing animals to work when in this condition, is
too glaring and reprehensible, it would seetn,
to render reproof necessary, and yet we behold
instances of this kind of barbarity, almost dai
ly. With the hope of contributing in some
slight degree to the amelioration of the condi
tion of my valued friend, the horse, in this
one particular, I think you will aid me great
ly in the accomplishment of this object by giv
ing place to the following, which 1 clip from
the Uermantown Telegraph It is sound and
sensible, and deserves the close and careful pe
rusal of every farmer :
" As making havelocks for the protection
of the neck is now ail the fashion, says a cor
respondent of the Germantowu Telegraph, I
have concluded to send you an account and
directions for making some, which I have in
nse, and like very well iudeed. Some say that
if a collar fits a horse as it should, he will nev
er have sore shoulders. Now Ido uot think
that this is the case, for I have a pair of hor
ses who conld not be worked at plowing or
harrowing a week without having sore shoul
ders, yet their collars fitted them well. It
seemed that one bide had to be rubbed, and
as that of the collar was the hardest, the con
sequence was that the horses ; hide got the
rubbing. The galls I could soon cure, but if
the horses worked 1 could not prevent them.
Chancing one day to take hold of an English
agricultural journal, the first thing which I no
ticed was an editorial proposing that a piece
of leather should be laid ou the horses' ueck
under and disconnected from the collar. I saw
that the theory was good, aud concluded 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 pa
per aud scissors, 1 ct out a pattern for my
haveloek. I cut the pattern so it could be
sewed together on the top of the neck aud in
front of the breast, aud at the same time fit
the neck neatly without creasing. They were
made considerably wider than the collar, say
from ten inches to one foot. I then applied
my patterns to a piece of leather, and cut out
their counterparts and sewed them together,
and after soaking them over night, I applied
them to the horses' necks, takiug care to keep
them smooth and nice. Since then my horses
have never had sore shoulders ; and any one
seeing the haveloek after three months' use,
would not wonder that the horses shoulders
ever got sore. 1 have cured the shoulders of
horses with the following compound : —Good
brandy, one quart ; oue-halt pouud alum pow
dered.
The brandy and alum should be placed in
a bottle, aud when used should be well shak
en. The mixture should be rubbed on with a
sponge, and a pad (an old stocking leg stuffed
with straw,) should be placed below the gall,
and I will insure a cure if the collar is as soft
us it should be. 1 have cured shoulders with
this mixture even when the skin was brokeu,
without even taking the horse from his work.
But use the havelocks, and you won't want
the mixture.— Farmer and Gardener.
Advantages of Broad Tires for Carts.
These are made four to six inches in breadth,
and, usually, of somewhat thinner tire, to save
weight. The w heels have to be a little heav
ier to accommodate the tire. The advantages
over the common tire are several. Used upon
the highway, they tend to fill up the ruts made
by smaller vehicles, and help to keep the road
track in good repair. So highly is this advan
tage esteemed by turnpike compauies, that
they exempt all broad tired carts from toll.
If they were generally used, they would act
uprn the road bed very much as a heavy roll
or, keeping it solid, aud preventing washing to
some exteut.
The broad tire also diminishes the resist 1
ance made by the road bed or soil over which 1
the wheels pass. Upon a perfectly solid bed,
like a plate of iron, or iron rails, this resis
tance is entirely removed,[or, at least, brought
to its minimum. Rut upon a common road, I
it seriously interferes with their progress.—
The wheels sink into the dirt, more or less,
according to the weight of the load, aud the
hardiness of the road. Upon meadow lands,
the resistance is still further increased by the
softness of the soil. The broader the surface
of the wheel, the less it will sink into the soil,
and the more easily the load can be drawn. It
is not accessary to state the precise ratio in
which the resistance is diminished to make it
apparent. Other beiDgs equal, a team will
draw a heavier load with a broad tired cart,
thau with a narrow oue. If this advantage
amounted to only a hundred pounds to a load,
it would pay for the extra cost of the tire.
It also saves the cutting up the meadows
More or less carting is uccessary over fields
iu grass, at seasons of the year when ruts will
be mad with the narrow tire. This not only
mars the beauty of the field, but diminishes
the yield. The roots of the grass are torn
aud destroyed, and the track of the wheel is
generally barren. With the broad tire, little
if auy damage is done. It also enables the
farmer to use the cart on soft swampy laud
that would be impossible with narrow tire
These may be drained, but are not, and will
uot be for some years. While waiting for
tiles, the broad-tire cart is needed.— CONNEC
TICTT, in Farmer and Gardener.
AN EFFECTUAL CURE FOR THE EARACHE. —
Take a small piece of cotton batting, or cot
ton wool, make a depression in the centre with
the cud of the finger, and fill it with as muck
groend pepper as will rest on a Gve cent piece,
gather it into a ball and tie it up, dip the ball
into sweet oil and insert it in the ear, covering
the latter with cotton wool, and use a band
age or cap to retain it in its place. Almost
instant relief will be experienced, and the ap
plication is so gentle tliat an infant will not
be injured by it, but experience relief as well
as adults.
KF.EC TICS CI.EAN. —Many farmers, says a
contemporary, make their pigs live in dirt, and
then charge them with a fondness of filth.
This is oppression aud slander combiued. A
" hog peu" has become proverbially a repul
sive place, but this is the owner's fault No
animal can thrive uulcss kept clean. A hog
likes to be curried as well as a horse. This
cannot always he done, but, at least, let them
have a bed of cleao straw.
