For a horse cut by wire, Farm ar~l Ranch tells you to use 2 per cent creolin solution on the sore two or three times daily. This will keep the sore healthy and the files away from it.

When a horse is working hard and highly fed all the week he' should have his food reduce on Sun-I day, and one meal should be a bran mash. If he gets his regular amount of food he should have some exercise.-Ontario Institute Bulletin. IHe hasrnas. Such strong manures(hen mrnanq res),are best adapted when applied to any leaf crops, such as. sipnachCl cabbage, kale and Swiss chard. Being highly nitrogenous, theylbu iuce growth of leaf. They should be applied sparingly to fruit crops, such as tomatoes, peppers and strawberries, says an exchange. Baiylg A Horse. Never accept a horse with leather sole on foot.
