With 
land worth 
f ICO to $200 per 
acre, you need to get 
the full benefit of present 
high prices for grain to make 
your labor and land pay proper 
dividends. It is an actual loss of real 
money to feed your high priced com and 
oats in the old, loose, wasteful manner, and 
get inferior results. Successful business farm¬ 
ers, dairymen and stockraisers sell their grain, 
pockot the money, and save about 25% of their feed 
cost, by feeding Sucrene.

Live Stock Notes 
In Buying a Horse. 
When you are looking to purchase a 
horse, first examine his eyes well. The 
best judges are sometimes deceived in 
the eyes, therefore, you cannot be too 
careful; clearness of the eyes is a sure 
indication of their goodness, but this is 
not all that should be attended to. The 
eyelids, eyebrows, and all the other parts 
must also be considered, for many horses 
whose eyes appear clear and brilliant go 
blind at seven and eight years old. 
Therefore be careful to observe whether 
the parts between the eyelids and eye¬ 
brows are free from bunches, and wheth¬ 
er the parts around the under eyelids be 
full or swollen, for these are indications 
that the eyes will not last. When the 
eyes are remarkably flat or sunken with¬ 
in their orbits, it is a bad sign, also, when 
they look dead and lifeless. The rims 
or circle that surround the sight of the 
eye, should be distinct, and of a pale, 
crimson color, for this is always a sure 
sign of a good eye. 
In the next place examine the teeth, 
that he be not too old or too young. The 
feet should next be regarded, for a horse 
with bad feet is like a house with a poor 
foundation, and will do little service. The 
feet should be smooth and tough, of a 
middle size, without wrinkles and neither 
too hard or brittle, nor too soft. The 
heels should be firm and not spongy and 
x’otten, the frogs horny and dry, the soles 
somewhat hollow, like the inside of a 
dish. Such feet will never disappoint 
your expectations, and such only should 
be chosen. Particular regard should be 
paid to the shoulders, they should not be 
too much loaded, for a horse with heavy 
shoulders can never move well, and, on 
the other hand, one that has vei'y thin 
shoulders and a narrow chest, though he 
may move briskly so long as he is sound, 
yet he is generally weak and easily lamed 
in the shouldei's; a medium should be 
chosen. 
The body should neither he too small 
nor too large. The back should be 
straight,or have only a moderate sinking 
below the withers, for if the back of a 
hoi'se is low, or higher behind than be¬ 
fore, it is both very ugly and a sign of 
weakness. The back should also be a 
pi'oper length. The ribs should be large, 
the flanks smooth and full and the hind 
parts or uppermost haunches not higher 
than the shoulders. When the horse 
trots before you. observe if his haunches 
cover his fore-knees. A horse with short 
hind quarters does not look well. 
The next thing to be regarded in a 
horse is his wind, which may be easily 
judged by the motion of his flanks. A 
broken-winded horse "also pinches in his 
flanks with a slow motion, and drops 
them suddenly, which may be easily per¬ 
ceived. Many horses breathe thickly 
that are not broken-winded, but if a 
horse has been in good keeping, and had 
proper exercise, and yet had these symp¬ 
toms there is some defect, such as a nar¬ 
row chest, or some cold that has affected 
the lungs. There are other particulars 
that should be observed in choosing a 
horse. If his head be large and fleshy 
and his neck thick he will always go 
heavy on the hand. A horse that has 
his hocks very wide, seldom moves well, 
and one that has them too near will 
chafe and cut his legs by crossing them. 
Fleshy-legged horses are generally sub¬ 
jected to the grease-heel. 
The temper of a hoi’se is very impox-t- 
ant. Avoid a fearful horse, which you 
may know at first sight by his starting 
or creeping if you approach him. A fret¬ 
ful hoi-se is also to be avoided, but the 
buyer should be cai-eful to distinguish 
between a hot, fretful horse, and one that 
is eager and craving. The former begins 
to fret the moment he is out of the sta¬ 
ble and continues in that manner till he 
has quite fatigued himself, and the latter 
only endeavors to be foremost in the 
field, and is truly valuable. 
Just a word on the action of the horse. 
A horse that goes with his forefeet very 
low, is apt to stumble, and there are 
some that go so near the ground that they 
stumble most on evPn roads, and the 
dealers to remedy this, put heavy shoes 
on their feet, for the heavier a horse’s 
shoes are, the higher he lifts his feet. 
One should purchase a horse with good 
action, with easy graceful movement, 
ribbed up close, round smooth hips, good 
life but not fretty. These few instruc¬ 
tions may be of use in purchasing hoi'scs, 
but I advise evei’yone to get some experi¬ 
mental knowledge of them before he 
trusts to his judgment, for the dealers 
have so many arts to hide the defects of 
their horses that the best judges are often 
deceived. c. L. mallery.

Self-sucking Cow. 
We have just discovei-ed that the fam¬ 
ily cow has commenced to milk herself. 
She does not do it regularly but I should 
prefer that she should not do it at all. I 
feel that I can do well enough myself. 
I do not wish to tie her up short as she 
is on pasture. Several weeks ago she cut 
one of her teats on a barbed wire. It 
healed readily, but she may have licked 
it and thus got in the habit. D. B. 
Maryland. 
Put a straight bridle bit in her mouth, 
or a spiked muzzle on her head, or sharp¬ 
en some laths or light pickets at both 
ends, weave them into a necklace with 
smooth wire and put it on her neck with 
tb<> laths running lengthwise, so that she 
will be unable to turn her head to suck.

Cow Holds Up Milk. 
Can you give me the cause of one of 
my cows holding up her milk? It seems 
almost impossible to get all her milk. I 
milk all I can get, milk the other cows 
and than go back to her again, and then 
she will let milk down again. A. s. w. 
New York. 
The cow is nei’vous. or milking causes 
pain. Massage the udder gently for a 
few minutes before starting to milk and 
at milking time let the cow have some 
relished feed to eat At night rub the 
udder with a little castor oil, or warm 
melted lard, if you think that there is 
any tenderness of the teats or skin of 
the udder. a. s. a. 
Garget. 
Several weeks ago I wrote you in ref¬ 
erence to my cow having milk fever, one- 
quarter of her udder being left in an af¬ 
fected condition. You wrote me to give 
her a tablespoonful of saltpetre and a 
tablcspoonful of poke-root as a drench 
for five consecutive mornings for two 
weeks and I was also to rub her udder 
with mercurial ointment once a day. Be¬ 
fore giving the cow the drench she seemed 
to gain but little from the effects of the 
fever. She had no appetite and would 
stand around with her back humped. I 
thought she would never get around, but 
after giving the drench she was a new 
cow, just as she had always been, only 
the udder djid not get entirely well. 
While giving the drench the hardness dis¬ 
appeared from the udder with the excep¬ 
tion of about two inches above the teat, 
the yellowish water thnt came out of 
the teat changed to good looking milk but 
of course the quantity was very small. 
As soon as I quit giving the drench the 
improvement stopped, and while I bathe 
it faithfully there is no improvement. 
Would it be safe to continue the drench 
and do you think it might help the udder 
to continue to improve? You said that 
quarter of the udder was probably ruined 
but the improvement at the time I gave 
the drench encouraged me. That teat 
looks shrunken, as if the glands leading 
to it had contracted, and that quarter 
does not fill out with milk like the rest. 
Do you suppose there is any chance of 
that quarter coming around all right 
when she comes in again? m. e. ii. 
New Jersey. 
As a rule two weeks of the medicine 
is sufficient if there is to be any improve¬ 
ment from internal treatment; but it 
would have been well to have continued 
the medicine when it was seen that the 
cow went back after it was stopped. It 
is rare indeed for such cases of garget 
to perfectly recover and we think tho 
chances of permanent improvement are 
very slight and that the condition will 
be worse than ever when the cow calves 
again. At that time if the milk in the 
affected quarter is abnormal in consist¬ 
ency or quality it would be best to dry 
off the seci’etion. Meanwhile rub the 
udder twice daily with a mixture of one 
part of mercui'ial ointment and soft soap 
or lanolin and give half the doses of salt¬ 
petre and poke root formerly given, but 
allow them night and morning for a 
week. a. s. a.
