LIVE-STOCK NOTES.
The horse interests are not dead. They are only sleeping. When prosperity returns horses will sell as well as ever.
The stallion must not have ring bone, navicular disease, cataract, unsound feet or bad temper, however beautiful in form he may be.
The only valid excuse that any farmer can put forward for feeding wheat to farm animals is that no more profitable disposition can be made of it.
To dry a mare up in her milk, feed her straw for a few days, or a little hay, and rub soft soap on her udder. Give her a reduced amount of water. Milk the udder out only partially each day.
It is true, in a measure, that the necessity of regular dressing, wisping, currying, brushing and hard rubbing is far greater in the case of highly pampered horses, fed in the most stimulating manner, principally on grain, kept in hot stables.-Farmer's Voice.
