night after night put to bed with
bed with a wet shirt and with his
legs coated with mud? There is
no reason why the same sanitary
precautions should not be used
with farm animals as are employed
at the livery stables and by
the grooms of race stock. After
violent exercise by the race horse
or trotter upon the track, the
groom hastens to blanket his
horse to prevent the too rapid
| drying of the coat,and consequent
iinjury to the animals from the
cooling ell'ect of rapid evaporation
of moisture from their
; bodies.

Leaving out of the question the
humanitarian phase of the matter,

every horse owner to give the at

health and usefulness of his animals,
and ai the same time, economize

A few years hence we took
charge of a large number of
mules that had been working in
rain and mud and stabled at night
without being groomed.
Thorough grooming, before be
ling put up fur the night wrought
such improvement in the appearnice
of the mules.that within two
weeks their improved appearance
was generally remarked upon and
inquiry made as to the change of
food which had caused it. No
ehanpo was made in either the
character or quantity of food
used, nor in the work required.
The improvement was entirely
due to the fact that the poor animals
were put to hed in dry shirts

Stahlc Manure.
How to use stable manure is a
subject often discussed in agricultural
journals. As the nitrogen
i- the most available of its
i on -1 i t uent - it should lie handled
so as to increase the percentage
of this \aluabl" ingredient and
prevent, i! possible, lis loss. I h<
liquid 11 inure is richer in nitrogen
than tlie solid and lienct
should not ho wasted.
1 ho only practicable way ol
saviny the liquid is by causing it
to be absorbed by the solid o\cre
nient and the 1 i11? r used in bed

1 the manure daily two Miurrt <>1

ply and subsequently only enough
to keep the stall dry. The tramping
of the animal upon the manure
packs it so closely that fermentation
does not take place and the
liquid excreted in the stall is absorbed
and held by the solid manure.
The mule has, instead of a
soft, dry bed. As evidence that
there is no loss of ammonia, there
is no odor from the stalls as when
the manure is removed daily and

rives the manure is in condition
