How do you feci wliun you tiliivor? Much of such Buffering could be prevented by a littlo forethought and foro action. Tho grcnloht value of tho prex)tcnt power of tho Jersey whor. croseod with tho nutivo cow, lies in the oflcct it ha In enriching the tnilk of tho ofl'apring. Wliilo it may shorten iho supply of milk it omiuhes it very mntonally. There ia no bclttr cow for n hard-working commercial dairy than a half-blood Jorsey. Moveable pig pons are very desirablo, and used profitably in many orchards, especially when bowh havo young pigs which it is found desirablo to keep inn.ir.itn fium OtlllTS. TllU' IlinV l0 moved to frcdh noil overy fow days, and almost any handy man can build n pon witn holtH and fnstcningi to hold it together. Whatever you givo your hogH and they are expected to devour all kinds of rcfiuo bo Hiiro it is clean und not putrid. Tho iluishing oil", when fatten ing, Mioulil Imi with tho Hwcelost and nicest food that is ovor given to hogs. Cornmeal and tho rofuau of tho dairy arc Mod. Good, Hweet, wholesome pork, In tho product of cleanlinehH and nouiuI, clean food. A wiHping of straw removos tho roughest of tho dirt loosoned from tho horso by tho currycomb. Tho legs ought to bo thoroughly wisped. Tho brush is then to bo used to remove tho remaining and liner portion of dust from the hair, which iH cleared from tho brush by a fow rimim along tho curry comb, anil tho uiano and tail must bo combed. The skin of the farm horso should at all liiiu-ri Ik clean if not sleek, mill u slap of tho hand upon tho horno will hhow if there is loose dust in the hair. The curiycoinb should not bo used below tho knees, 111 it i apt to eausi) injury. For cleaning legs and foot, nothing is better than the water-brush. Improvomonts In CattlO'ltiltUU. Tim proper hIiuIIit and protection of cattlo fioin culd and storm are yearly attracting moro attention. Kvon the range cattle men are beginning to seriously coiifidor the nubject, and bomo huvo already prmided winter Hheller. Water und foul in time of diaught aro also important factors. Many dollura havo been lol this season for want of them. To guard against thin hot weather calamity, in many localitiw on the ranges tamo giiisse are being culti vated and wells clink. Ho far us possible eomu such voumi as this will have to be adopted everywhere. Heller shelter in winter, with bolter feed and plenty of water in Hummer, will make belter bwf and more of it. It will bring the rango lcof nearer to thu quality of the htull fed beef of the Mates, where warm iniarlerH are furnished in winter aud there is no luck of gias and water in the Hiinimei. Hy ai ranging the con ditions so that ourj thing will be meu utjiis conimaiul, better stock will result, not only from the improed conditions, but from tho Hysteniatio uso of blooded bulls. Juipioved quality will command higher prices, aud mmo wiisut will rYwuU from the belter conditions of growth. There will Imj no dry period in Huminer or cold period in winter to slu ink and uttutt the growing animal. Tho transportation of valuable atock will cost no uioie than that of inferior took. All the changCH will Iw for the better, tho free and easy methods llnil huvo prevailed in tho past giving plu.ee to tho hotter ones forced upon tho cattle men by iucrcnod competition aud tho restriction of the privilegon of a freo range. I.lvo tilook Journal. Judging Cattle at rir Our present mode of judging eattle .it faira givod ury littlo satisfaction and lean iuetruction to the spectators. To see u lot of cattle belonning to the came class led into tho ling and mlcutly ox amiucd by thivo men, who Dually put a blue riblon on one, a red one on another, aud a white one on a third, without naying a word, ia not a ery im posing or edifying Hight. The enlight enment growing out of tho operation is not apparent. This is especially tho cnuo when the judgment of the specta tors does not correspond with that of tho judgon. Tho question involuntarily springy up in every mind : "Why did they pul. the bluo ribbon on this one, inntcad of thatr" And the questioning goes around and on, but no auawor conies to the questioning. The judges arc probably right, if ll'o.v know thoir business, aud the bpcclntors wrong. Hut all would like to know on what grounds the awards were nmdis and wherein tho opinions of the lmUervon aro wrong. A satisfactory answer would not only begratifying,buteduca tiona1 Why can it not be given T Why can it not bo announced in the list at what hours tho several cliim will be judged, nnd why cannot a comp"tent porson bo employed, and, of courso, well paid for his timo and labor, to givo something liko an ofT-hand lecturo on the group of animals, aud on tho indi viduals in particular, poiuting out tho mcrita And dofccU in clear and com- prchcnHivo language!

Wo havo rend considerable disciiMtou of tho subject of how to teach a colt to Htand. Tho proper way lo teach colts anything is to begin when they aro very young, and can readily be handled. It is n mistako to let a olt get to be two or threo years old, as ia often tho rase, beforo putting a halter on it and touching it lo stand, as well as lead. Wo havo seen a strong ropo halter, with the headstall mado of tho nanio rojn, put on a two-year-old colt and tho colt hitched to n treo or post, and loft for half n day or more, to pull and tiro itself out. It mado its head soro, and almost pulled its neck out of joint. We doubt not, if tho colt could havo spoken, it would have complained the next duy of feeling soro all ovor and genorally sick. Tho exerciso it went through was severe aud cruel, but it used to bo thought tho proper thing for tho colt. His to be hopod that belter thoughts very generally prevail now, and colts are taucn wtien tuey aro young, uocno, and easily handled by man, and given instruction in whatover may bo required of them. It ia not diuicult to teach a young colt to be gentle, obedient, aud even affectionate, by propor handling. It Hhould early bo taught to load, lo stand, to have its feet taken up, and to have pieces of haruces, or almost any thing eii, put on it. Natiounl Livo Ktock Journal. Improvement ot Stock A distinguished breeder of Jerseys declarer it as his belief that if during the past twenty yenm nino-tentlm of the Jersey breeders had kept at tho lieida only bulls from cows producing fourteen pounds and over of butter per week, the average butter yield would have been increased from !W to 50 por cent. Undoubtedly a great deal would have been accomplished in this way ; and (ho average yield of Jersey cows brought nearer to the splendid achieve ments of the beat specimens. This valuable brood cannot fail to bo greatly improved from the general disposition now prevailing to select sires with Hincial reference to what has boon no complMud in tho way of butter pro duct urn. Tho line is a Bafe one lo follow, a.ul tuvdcrti should bo encouraged in every way to adhere to it as oUwelyas possible. With her average product increased to tho point whtoh tho per formance of individuals seems to render probable, the pre-eminence of tho Jersey cow as a butter producer would load to a large and most gratifying extension of (ho breed. Breeders Oatette. Tbe Car of Horace' Lena Much trouble reulta from the im proper treatment ot horacV legs whon coming in (mm the road wet aud muddy. Tho part next (ho hoof carries no tlesh, and nothing beyond tho nkin serves to protect tho blood vessels and delicate nerves and tendons upon which the healthy movement and condition of theeo import nut parts depond, and sudden changes, of temperature, or n prolonged coolness greater than the othor parU of tho body, is apt to woik harm. Too many peoplo wash off tho legs under such circumstances as soon as tho horse, comes in, but it is only among the bettor informed horsemen that Huy care is taken to bandage tho wet limbs until well dried aud tho uoimnl temperature fully ntorwl. Con cerning this important mat tor Prof. Drown, contributing a scries of articles to the Mark Lano Express on tho 'Veterinary treatment of Farm Ani mala," writes as follows : Ordinarly, horses on returning from work havo their legs, and probably a portion of their bodies, scraped and washed. Tho subsoquont process of drying, if attemptod at all, is imperfectly pei formed, and tho surface of tho skin is left tnoiht ami cold until tho natural heat of tho body causes tho evaporation of tho moisture at tho cost of a largo expenditure of heat. Considerable dis turbance of the function of the skin may no traced to tho effects of too evaporation. The occurrence of mud fevor and tho diflercnt forms of dihoafo which have been mentioned is thus ex plainod. A happy inspiration induced somo one to adopt wtho expedient ofuloaving the wot mud ou tho legs of tho.horso returned from work, to form a protectivo covering while the drying process was proceeding. On tho following morning tho dried mud was brushed off without dilllculty, and forthwith "chapped heels," "mud fever," and grease" coaod to appoar in the stables whero this plan was adopted. Further experience has t-howu that if mud can bo washed off at once by driving tho animal into a pond, and then continuing tho journey home, no harm results. Tho mischief is done by washing, especially if warm wator is used, when tho animal has arrived home and is to remain stationary for the night in the btable. In the cacoof huuteis it is considered advisable lo wrap tho muddy legs in flannel bandages ; haybanda will form an effective substituto in tho cato of tho farm horse, but tho essential thing is to refrain from any washing or at tompt to remove tho mud tilt it is dry enough lo bo briibhod off.
