Always cut back to a bud. cutting as close as possible without in- juring the bud itself. 13y paying attention to the position of the bud one can do much to decide the form the tree shall take. Study each variety you are deal- ing with and adopt a system most suited to its needs. Do not at- tempt to apply very hard and fast rules to your whole orchard. lt is not a question of how MUCH pruning one can do, but how LITTLE one can do and still re- tain the desired shape, vigour and productiveness of the tree,

Unless sections of periy built it is better to use silal- low packing boxes aibout one foot square. The boxes are removable, the litter is not easily scratched’ out of them and they are easily aired and sprayed on illl sides. However, the best nests are built in sections that are removable anti they are darkened. The birds cuter on a track at the rear, This satis- fies their instinct for Ilidiing eggs and there will be less danger of the eggs being lost ill the lifter of the house or iiiddcn in deep grass on the range. -Nests 12 by 14 inches are sult- able for the ‘larger breeds and di- mensions 10 by ‘l2 inches will do for Mediterraneans. if the nests are too large, more than one hen may crowd on- at the same time and this may result in picking and fighting and broken eggs. lf the nests are too small the birds will not use them but hide their eggs on the rpnge or make nests for thenlselves iu the poultry house under the dropping ‘boards. When eggs are laid on the litter they may be lost by having straw scratched over tltem while the liirds- are working for scratch grain.

Tile location of the nests depend on the likes of the owner. Some nests are placed under the drop- pin; board but we dislike this method us it complicates the work of keeping tho roosts and boards free from mites and ilcc. If the windows are high it i,s possible to build a section of ncsts under them. However, if the sun strikes tho top of these nests in the sum- mer, they will be wnrm and the birds will not like them. lt is prob- ably best to make the nests in sec- tions on tho side wall where they will be protected from the hot sun. Tho best littcr we have used for the nest is twisted hay. it must be tightly packed in the corndrs and then a flrm cushion P180911 in the middle so that it will not work out and permit the 658B 10 strike the bure boards and crack or break open.

CARE OF HORSES’ FEET

._-_-

Every horseman recognizes the

importance of good feet in a horse. There is a great deal of force I11 the old adage “No feet, no horse." While some horses have congenit- ally weak feet, and require very "careful usage to prevent disease, many go wrong in their feet as the‘ result of careless or ignorant treatment. The foot of a. horse is a complex organ, and subject to many diseases, the causes and symptoms of which we cannot dis.

cuss only the means of DTBVQIIHIJ‘ disease.

The main object to be observed is the keeping of tbs feet in an natural a shape and condition as possible. There is, under normal conditions, a constant growth of

the hoiny or insensitive and the horny wall, horny sole and horny frog, and we can readily understand that if there be not an equally constant waste, the organs will assume an abnormal size, and as a consequence become ill-shap- ed. Of course, during youth, while the animal is growing, the growth of the feet, like that of other organs, exceeds the waste, hence they increase in size. In the stats of nature the natural wear and tear on the unshod foot equals the ordinary growth, hence keeps it in proper shape and of proper size, but, owing to the artificial manner in which horses are of necessity reared in cold climates, their feet require more attention than they frequently receive. Interference is seldom necessary, until the first winter, as (lllflllg ilie summer months when the colts are at large the natural wear will suflice, but when the winter becomes cold and they are kept in‘ the staible the greater part of the time, often in stalls that are not regularly clean- ed out, (which state favors the growth of horn) the wear becomes infinitesimal and unless attention be given, the feet become abnor. mally large, deep in the heels, long in the toes, and abnormal in shape to such an extent as to rend- er it impossible ofr the animal to stand or move naturally. This condition abnormally increases the tension on some of the tendons and other ligaments and corres- pondently decreases that of others. if this is allowed-to continue the ultimate value and usefulness of the the animal will be affected. ln order to prevent this the feet should ‘on pared or rasped down to the normal skin and shaped every few weeks during the period of stabllng. The heels should be kept well pared down, the wall rnsped off on the bearing surface all the way around, and the toes not allowed to become too long. lt is not often necessary or ndvis- able to pare either the frog or the burs. ln order to avoid thrush or other diseases from an accumn~ lation of filth, the sole and the cleft of the frog should he cleared out daily by the use of n foot-hook.

In the spring we often notice colts with long toes, deep lleelsmnd with the ‘lower margin of the wall turned inwards. in such cases the owner probably thinks it wise to have the feet trimmed before turning them out to grass. When a foot is lifted and the sole cleaned

out, preparatory to trimming, it

will be noticed that the frog is nar-I row and sallow and often there is

The shoes should be removed and reset, or new ones put on at longest every six weeks, in many cases every four weeks. During cold or damp weather no particular attention is required other than having the slices removed regular- ly and cleaning out the feet daily, but in dry, hot weather, horses have artificial moisture supplied to their feet. During the seasons when the roads and fields are hot and dry,nnd the stable floors in a like condition, unless some means ibe taken to supply moisture to the feel they also become dry and hot, and this predisposes to disease.
