Points of a Good. Horse.
The New York Spirit of the Times
has the following directions for ex
amining the condition of a horse:,
In purchasing a good horse. sight,
wind, feet and limbs, must be the
uppermost objects of inquiry: for!
nine horses out of ten are defective ;
in one of these particulars. First,
then, examine is eves, and du this be
fore he comes out of the stable see f,
that they are perfectly clear and
transparent, and that fhe pupils or !,
apples of the eye are exactly alike ;
in size and color. Next examine
his pipes ; if good and sound, on be-
ing nipped in the gullet,he will utter a
sound like that from a bellows; but
if his lungs are tooled, and he is
broken winded, he will give vent to
a dry, husky, short cough. Look to
his limbs, also, and in passin , your
hand down his legs, if you find any
unnatural protuberance, or puffiness,
or if in feeling first one leg, then the
other, you discover any difference be
tween
them, disease more or less is
present—he may not be lame, but he
is not clean upon his legs. If he is
broad and full between the eyes, he I
may be depended on as a horse .ofgood
sense, aud capable of being trained
to ahnotit anything. If you 'want a
gentfe horse, get one with more or
less whit o upon him. Many suppose
that the parti-colored honksilelung- ,
ing to cipeuses, shows, bc., are' select
ed for their oddity; but his on ae
coutt of their docility and gentle
ness. / / In fact, the, mere kindly you
treat whom, the better you. will be
treated by him in return.
Vicious cattle.
The common vice of jumping and
throwing fencing is taught to cattle,
with scarcely tiny exception, by their
owners and care-takers. Fences half
down soon, fall by the nibbling of
cattle, and teach the first lesson, es
pecially if cattle have any shrewd
um in observing cause and effect.—
Vety fine feed just over a poor fence
is the next lesson; letting down bars
and rail fences to the calves, from
lazintsek so that the , animal has to
leap, is the third lesson, and the last
is oftentimes first, second and third
with sheep, until they will kale any
thing. These three lessons are usu
ally enough, but a fourth is often
added, namely : placing one addition
al rail on the fence each successive
day, as they become more skillful,
for the. ostensible object of keeping
the jumper within bounds, but really
operating as a most ingenious con
trivance to teak+ the art of ;vault
ing. We have heard of French be
ing "taught in six lessons," butvery
few animals require more than four
to take 'Trench leave" of an ordi
nary inclusure.
Scratches in Horses.
Scratches in horses will sometimes
yield to the simple remedy of wash
ing with warm suds, and greasing
with fried pork fat ; but more invet
erate cases require harsher treatment.
A case recently under notice, resist
ed every application, until, observ
ing a prescription of copperas dis
solved in good rum, a solution of
copperas "in vinegar was tried, and
with immediate good effect. It is said
that this will kill - the worst scratch
es, and a few applications of lard will
heal the sore. Keep their feet.and
legs clean and dry, as far as possible,
and horses will seldom be afflicted
with scratches.
How to TVinter on Hundred Sheep on
an Acre and a Half of Ground.
I take for the purpose nothing
more than a common wheat soil; if
rich, the growth is apt to be ton
large. I plow it deeply, harrow well,
and about the 20th of June, I sow
two and a half bushels of corn. I use
a large variety; plow in with shovel
plow, or cultivator, and if weeds try
to grow among it, they will get hear
tily tired of such a sickly life, and
try to grow among something else
the next time. Leave standing un
til the leaves get seared and the crop
loses weight some ; then cradle down
when dry, and put in loose shocks,
tie , at the top with rye straw, and
leave standing till wanted for feed;
it may be fed cut short, oras it la, on
clean ground. In this way I have
wiatered one hundred head of sheep
without grain, and in good order, on
an acre and a half of land. I have
not had a better clip of wool, nor lost
fewer sheep, nor raised a better crop
of lambs, for five years, than I have
this spring.—{Ohio Farmer.
