COMB AND BRUSH FOR HORSE Equipment Needed in Every Stable Whether on Racetrack or Farm Use for Currycomb. A currycomb, a broomcorn brush, a scraper, a stiff brush and a number of rags of the right sizes should be a part of the grooming equipment of ev ery stable, no matter whether the stable is located on a farm or at the edge of a racetrack. In most instances the currycvnnb should be used only to lightly raise and loosen the sweat and scurf over the fleshy portions of the horse's body, the main reliance being placed upon the brush. The brush ls the best Implement for cleaning the body, as it does the work well and easily, and does not irritate the horse. I find that the principal use for the currycomb In cleaning most horses is in using lt to scrape the dirt Well-Groomed Farm Horse. and loose hair out of the brush, says a writer in an exchange. Because of its steel teeth and general harshness and stiffness, the currycomb should never be used about the limbs. There are some people who can use it on the legs and about the bony places of the horse's anatomy without Irritating the animal past all endurance. They are softer-handed than most of us. The broomcorn brush takes the place of the currycomb in cleaning the horse's legs. In using the currycomb it should be laid flat and carried lightly !.i a succession of curved strokes, un til all the dust and scurf that may be in the horse's coat has been loosened. Then take the brush and with it thor oughly cleanse the hair and the skin. After using the brush take a damp ened cloth and go over the surfuce, fol lowing this by rubbing with a dry cloth. In cleaning and grooming the head and the legs use the stiff broomcorn brush, clean with the hairbrush, and finish the operation with the dampened and dry cloths. ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS Care Should Be Exercised That lt Is Not Pastured Too Closely Cut Occasionally. For "growing out" little pigs and carrying over dry sows a good pasture ls a valuable asset to the hog raiser. Alfalfa makes the best pasture for h?gs. In pasturing alfalfa, care should be taken that It is not pastured too heavily. If this is done, the alfalfa will be badly killed out in two or three years and lt will be necessary to reseed. Pasturing should never be carried on so heavily but that one half ton of hay per acre can be cut three times a season. The occasional cutting of the alfalfa induces new sh^ts to grow, and hence greatly In proves the pasture for the pigs. HANDLING ALFALFA FOR HAY Plant Should Be A.lowed to Stand Un til Well in Bloom-Sprinkle With Salt and Lime. To make the best horse hay, alfalfa should be allowed to stand until well in bloom, according to the Nebraska College of Agriculture. In curing horse hay, it is well to keep in mind that the dust which is present in so much alfalfa is largely a result of the pres ence of foreign moisture, such as rain or dew, at making time, rather than the presence of a little moisture within the plant. If alfalfa hay is stored in the barn for horses, lt is well, while mowing it away, to sprinkle it gener ously with a mixture of equal parts of salt and air-slaked lime. MAKING SUCCESS WITH HOGS Breed and Feed Well and Give Good Care-Don't Allow Litters to Lose Growth. 1. Select large, roomy, stretchy dams. 2. Breed to boars whose ancestry shows tendency to growthiness. 3. See that sow is in prime condition every day she carries the litter. 4. Don't allow the litters to lose an hour's growth from lack of proper nour ishment or exposure after farrowing. 5. Use every precaution at weaning time to see that growth is maintained. 6. Bone-making feed must predomi nate in first six months of pig's life. 7. Maintain balanced ration later on ?nd be sure the pigs grow every day. CHANGING SEASONS BRINGS COLDS.
