"Hoof -hound," as tho term la usually employed, refers to a condition of contracted feet which may bo due to several different causes. A very good way of treating It Is to keep tho hoofs moistened and In an elaatlc condition. Contractors Dentists Dressmakers Grocers Launderes Have the animal's shoos rernovod, keeping her off hard roads, and, If possible, stand her in a mud nam w keep her feet moist. Handling Barnyard Manure. Winter Is tho best time to haul barnyard manure out on the field, and If tho ground la frozen It la all the better. At ono time It wag thought to put tho manure In amall plica on tho flelda, to prevent leaching, but more recent experiments" have proved that manure spread out on tho surface right from the wagon loses vory little of Its virtue. The condition are uch, It seems, that when tho manure Is spread out on the surface the valuable Ingredients are not soluble, and there fore can not be washed away by the rains. There are more or leas favorable condition! for tho leaching away of fertility when manure Is placed In heaps, for the reaaon that whllo kept In a body In this way aomo of the fer tilizing Ingredients become soluble and are waahed away during the heavy freshets. Anldo from this, manure placed In piles la apt to make crop SMitted. It Is a good Idea to apply manure In this way to meadowg and pasture. This will not only give an Increase of ha yor grusn, but If It Is Intended In a year or more afterward to plow up the meadow or paature to plant to a crop of corn or other grain, the latter will receive tho benefit of the application of manure thus given. Fertilizing the Orchard. Experience everywhere teaches that an orchard will live longer, bear better anil be more profitable for being well cultivated and enriched. The expert mi.tit utHtlon hnvn tried both methods i and havo collected opinions from the ; bent fruit grower In their sectlona, and tho verdict in almoHt every case J la that cultivation la necessary for healthy trees and flrst-clana mm. Potaah la the chief fertilizer to be applied to fruit trees, particularly after they come Into bearing. Potaah may be had In wood anhea and muriate of potash. It la most commonly used In the latter form. An unusual appli cation of potash should be made upon bearing orchards, 500 pound to the acre. Frog Skins.
