Thanks to the amount of attention which that paragon of horseflesh, the American trotter, has recelred at the hands of all classes of men, the mat ter of shoeing for specific purposes has made greater progress in America than in any other country on the face of the globe, and that is a department of the farrier's art which' is entitled to the highest euloglum. There is one Instrument which should like to see, if possible, omitted from the shoeing outfit of every far rier, and that is the drawing knife. The oo tilde, or horny wall, and that portion of the sole which Is in Imme- mm FOOT IUST FOB SHOE. Showing frog and bars as they should be left. dlate contact with It, on which the shoe should rest, are the only portions of the foot which require to be inter fered with In preparing the foot for the shoe, and all the trimming that is necessary can and ought to be effected by means of the rasp. The first Illustration shows the only parts which should be reduced when a foot Is properly prepared for the shoe. Sufficient care is not always given to shortening the hoof so that Its angle should conform exactly to the Inclination of the limb. An in spection of the foot in profile Is usual ly the best way of deciding the correct degree of obliquity. Too much Impor tance cannot possibly be attached to this and the succeeding step namely, leveling the ground surface of the foot The very smallest deviation from the perpendicular entails disastrous conse quences not only on the foot, but on the entire limb. The different styles of shoes which have been devised are marvels of In genuity. Many are applicable only to horses used solely for speed purposes, but a considerable number are potent auxiliaries In mitigating the results of natural defects of conformation among animals whose lot la cast In humbler fields of horse enterprise. Among these are the scoop toed or roller mo . tlon shoe for the fore feet, Fig. 2, and the shoe, Fig. 8, for the hind feet, which, while they obviate forging or clicking, a habit bnrtful to the horse nd singularly annoying to his driver, do not in any way tend to Inflict injury n the feet or limbs. The scooped or rolled toe confers a mechanical advantage, enubling the an- SPECIAL PUBP08 SHOES. 1. To welcht shoe I Front view of coop to rolling motion shoe. J. Hind foot ho to balance the etion.

Fig. 1 Is the most effective model of shoe to square and balance the gait of unmade horses, but the period of Its use should be strictly limited and the weight of the toe gradually reduced as the desired gait becomes established. few week of their OTes. Only a small amount of cut straw or chaff should be given for bedding, thus no opportunity being offered the little ones to get lost or tangled up and so exposed to danger of death from cold, hunger or crushing by the sow. As a further protection a board about elgbt inches wide placed flat horizontally about eight inches from the floor along the wall, to whlc it should be firmly attached, will be found of considerable value, affording a space where the little ones can run or be shoved when the mother lies down. Generally speaking, the less inter ference st parturition the better, the weather be cold a good plan is have some clean dry straw in a box or barrel. Into which the little ones may be ulnced as they are born, being first dried with a cloth. If parturition slow in cold weather It Is sometimes wise to pat some warm bricks or flat stones In the box with the youngsters. They should be allowed to suck as soon as possible after birth. MIXED MILK. Easy Hogs In Cattle Lets. , Of forty-flve Oulo cattle feeders from whom definite Information con cerning their methods of feeding hogs In cattle feed lots has been obtained only ten fed any feeds other than corn to the hogs that gather the grain from the steers' droppings. The other thirty. five feeders either used no feed besides that which was not digested by the steers or else gave corn in addition. B. K. Carmlcbael. New Arabian Alfalfa. Of new varieties of alfalfa tested In different parts of the country during the past year the Arabian type Is one of the most promising. At Mecca, Cal.. this alfalfa has yielded twelve cuttings In the year as against elgbt for the ordinary type, and at Chlco, Cel., seven cuttings of the former as against five of the latter. THE EARLY PIGS. Comfort For the Mother Hog and Hot New Family. By 3. 11. GRISDALE. For a week or ten days before far rowing or parturition occurring In cold spring weather the sow should receive a rather liberal ratlou of milk produc ing food, such as bran niaslius, chopped oats, skim milk, shorts, a little ollnicul, etc., being careful always to see that there are no slgus of constipation, that the bowels are quite loose. The attendant should always lie on good terms with every sow, 1. it this should very particularly be the rase for a few weeks before, during the time of and for a few weeks after parturition. By a little (letting and a few kindness es that appeal to her sense of whut Is nice the attcudant can win the confi dence of almost any sow, provided, of course, that be has not previously won her dislike. Parturition should tuke place in a pen sieciully prepared for the event and for the Hccouiiuodutlon of the mother and her family during the first Calculation In Standardizing Blending Milk. "Standardized milk" and "blended milk" are terms applied to milk which has been so modided as to contain definite amount of one or more of Its constituents. The most Important and at the same time the most variable constituent Is fat. To standardize milk as regards fat It Is simply necessary to add or remove a certain amount of this constituent or to add or remove a certain amount of skim milk. Ona thousand six hundred pounds of milk containing 3.2 per cent of fat may be standardized to 4 per cent of fat by re moving 220 pounds of skim milk. A simple method of determining the 4.9 4 6 1.1 IIU0IUM FOR MIXING MILK. amounts of skim milk and whole milk or of milks containing different per centages of fat which should be mixed In order to secure a product having a desired fat content is given by Profess or It. A. Tearson in a reading course bulletin of Cornell university. Draw a rectangle and write at the two left band comers the percentages of fat in the fluids to be mixed and In the center place the required percent age. At the upper right hand corner put the number which represents the dif ference between the two numbers standing In line with It 1. e., the num ber In the center and the one at the lower left band corner. At the lower right hand corner put the number that represents the difference between the two numbers In Hue with It. Now let the upper right band number refer to the upper left and the lower right hand to the lower left. Then the two right band numbers show the relative quan tities of the fluids represented at the left band corners that must be com bined to give a fluid of the desired standard which Is represented in the center. If It Is wanted to mix the milks from two dairies testing 4.9 per cent fat and 3.5' per cent mi j juic " -" cent milk, the diagram bIiows there milks must be inlxej lu t'.ie proportion of 1.1 to .3 or 1 1 to 3. Thus: If we have 120 pounds of the 4.0 per ni mil, we must mix with It 32.7 riAimiifl nt a r. nor cent milk, as is hnsn hv this nroDortion: 11:3 :: 120 32.7. Profit In Sheep. As shown by the recorded data for four years, the average cost or winter ing sheep at the Mississippi experiment totuin h:i lioen 11.14 ier head. The estimated Drofits from a flock of twen ty-two sheep for last year were $42.30, nri none of the breeding ewes was sold. There Is ready sale for early Inmha at eood Drices. Sheep could easily be made one of the most profita ble lines of live stock farming for the average farmer in this state, K ILLtke COUCH I and CURE THE LUNGS Moliesee In th Ration. The addition of molasses to a ration has a tendency to increase the digesti bility of both hay and grain feeds, This, coupled with the generally ob served fact that molasses contributes toward making feeds more palatable and also acts as an appetizer, gives to molasses a relatively high place as stock food and makes it more valuable than its analysis alone would Indicate. For th Farm Dairy. Work In breeding for milk produc tion at the Canada experiment farms seems to show that (a) superior dairy cows may be found in all breeds; (b) pure bred females are not essential to success in dairy farming, but a pure bred bull should always be used.
