Restraining  Jumping  Sheep 
I  have  seen  many  devices  to  prevent 
sheep  from  jumpirfg  fences,  but  most  of 
them  failures.  The  device  illustrated  is 
used  effectively  by  Mrs.  Nancy  Macdon¬ 
ald.  of  Prince  Edward  Island.  A  small 
swivel  about  three  inches  long  is  pur¬ 
chased  in  which  a  snap,  about  the  same 
length  is  attached  to  a  leather  strap  with 
buckle  around  the  necks  of  each  two,  pair 
of  sheep.  When  attached  the  sheep  stand 
about  12  inches  apart,  and  thus  attached 
go  aloug.  and  in  this  way  cannot  and 
will  not  jump.  It  works  successfully,  and 
does  not  prevent  the  sheep  from  grazing.

Rid  the  stable  of  rats  and  mice.  They 
often  keep  a  nervous  horse  awake  all 
night  and  are,  too,  a  common  cause  of 
stamping,  pawing  and  kicking  in  the  sta¬ 
ble.  The  horse  may  rest  better  in  a 
roomy,  well-bedded  box  stall.  Give  worm 
medicine  if  there  is  a  collection  of  scaly

A  heifer  coining  one  year  old.  now 
lias  some  spots  around  on  different  parts 
of  the  body  which  are  a  sort  of  breaking 
out.  These  spots  seem  to  itch  as  she 
licks  them  when  loose.  She  eats  well  and 
seems  well  and  thrifty  other  ways. 
Could  you  give  me  any  idea  as  to  what 
ails  her  and  what  to  do  for  her?  The 
spots  vary  in  size  from  a  dime  up  to  a 
half  dollar.  F.  R.  H.

Scrub  the  spots  clean.  In  some  cases 
it  is  necessary  to  saturate  them  with 
oil  once  a  day  for  several  days,  before  it 
becomes  possible  to  remove  the  scabs  and 
warty  growths.  When  this  has  been 
done  paint  with  tincture  of  iodine  once 
daily  or  apply  a  solution  of  two  ounces 
of  sulphate  of  copper  in  a  pint  of  water. 
Use  iodine  ointment  daily  on  spots

Skin  Disease 
T  have  a  pig  that  is  not  doing  very 
well,  is  six  months  old.  will  weigh  100 
pounds  dressed.  I  think  lie  has  the 
scurvy,  a  hard  thick  scale  all  over;  eats 
well  hut  does  not  gain  as  the  other  pig 
does  that  is  with  him.  TV.  w.  P.

Wet  and  filth  ill  the  beds  and  pens 
often  cause  such  a  condition  of  the  skin, 
but  it  also  may  accompany  general  ill- 
thrift  from  indigestion  or  worms.  Sep¬ 
arate  the  affected  pig  from  the  rest  and 
allow  it  a  roomy,  clean  pen.  Feed  light¬ 
ly  on  laxative  slop.  Scrub  it  clean  with 
a  warm  1-100  solution  of  coal  tar  dip 
containing  a  cupful  of  flowers  of  sulphur 
to  the  gallon.  Repeat  the  treatment  once 
a  week  if  found  necessary.  Allow  free 
range  on  grass  when  that  becomes  pos¬ 
sible.  A*  s*  A* 
Summer  Itch 
What  shall  I  do  for  my  horse?  This 
horse  was  overheated  during  the  Sum¬ 
mer  he  was  four  years  old.  A  few  sores 
appeared  on  his  neck  about  the  mane 
which  did  not  seem  to  bother  him  much 
although  lie  was  in  poor  condition,  but 
the  following  Winter  he  seemed  all  right. 
The  next  Spring  when  five  years  old 
when  warmed  up  he  broke  out  with 
lumps  about  the  size  of  a  10-eout  piece 
and  larger,  which  opened  and  discharged 
and  finally  turned  into  sores.  This  be¬ 
came  worse  every  time  he  got  warm  un¬ 
til  his  whole  body  was  a  mass  of  sores 
which  were  worse  on  head,  breast  and 
stomach.  Ilia  skin  became  baked  and 
cracked  something  like  a  bread  crust.  Of 
course  he  was  itchy  and  rubbed  his 
mane  and  tail  until  there  was  no  hair 
on  him.  A  veterinarian  said  it  was 
what  he  called  a  skin  founder  caused  by 
being  overheated  and  getting  in  his  blood. 
As  cold  weather  came  he  seemed  to  get 
all  right,  the  same  as  lie  did  the  pre¬ 
vious  year,  hut  his  coat  is  rough  and  he. 
is  out  of  condition.  This  horse  has  done 
nothing  all  Winter  and  I  expect  this 
trouble  to  come  again  as  soon  as  I  work 
him  and  get  him  heated.*  D.  d.  a. 
Pennsylvania. 
Clip  the  horse  each  Spring  and  then 
do  not  feed  corn  in  Summer  or  allow 
green  grass.  Feed  whole  oats,  wheat 
bran  (dump)  and  good  mixed  hay.  Keep 
the  stable  dean,  well  ventilated  and 
screened  and  darkened  against  flies.  Put 
a  light  sheet  on  the  horse  when  at  work 
in  the  sun  and  allow  cool  water  often 
while  at  work.  If  the  trouble  starts  re¬ 
duce  the  feed  and  mix  in  it.  twice  daily, 
half  an  ounce  of  granular  hypo-sulphite 
of  soda,  or  possibly  the  horse  will  take 
this  medicine  dissolved  in  drinking  water. 
Bathe  skin  frequently  with  cold 
water  containing  one  teaspoonful  of  salt 
to  the  pint.  A.  s.  A,
