. Horses on the Farm,
No farmer should ever have any-
tning out mares on nis place, ana n
more of them should come on than he
can profitably keep he should sell the
worst and never the best. Geldings
Bhould never be kept after they have
reached saleable age, and no one
should eyer permit a few dollars to
tempt him to part with a good mare
and keep a poorer one. One span of
- poodjmares is as good a start for real
ly profitable commerical horse raising
as fifty, and. better, for there if al
ways work enough to pay for the
keeping of one span and there never is
for fifty. Breed to the best always,
for the good sells for better prices,
and that kind has a good deal less
competition, to meet. One - kind "of
destructive competition to which
the- cattle ; business has been
subjected, the raising of good
horses , escapes entirely we 'mean
range competition. The best coach,
trotting and dpaft horses will always
be raised on this farm and never on
the range, and they will always bring
a good price; and there is no danger of
reaching the end of the business in
raising that kind of horses, for there
never yet was a coach horse that was
handsome enough in form and action,
a trotter that had enough speed or a
draft . horse with enough bone and
muscle of the right quality. However
well one may do, there is always
room to do better; however high one
may go there are yet heights beyond,
inviting to further effort. We can
very well remember when 2:40 was the
synonym for matchless speed; now
breeders are dreaming of the two min
ute trotter. With other styles of
horses achievement lias been equally
preat and hope for' further efforts is
just as promising; although it is not
figure indicating the progress made.
Lump-Jaw In Cattle.
The discussions and litigation that
has been going on with regard to the
nature of lump-jaw in cattle and the
healthiness of the meat, have awaken
ed unusual interest in this singular
disease, or, possibly, diseases. A cor
respondent suggested a few weeks since
that it might be the result of dehorn
ing. Alluding to this, Mr. A. J. Wim
ple, of Beresford, South Dakota,
makes the suggestion that it is the
lack of salt. He gives the following
experience with it during the last sea
son: "Last May my herd was s6 badly
affected with it that the assessor
threw out a number of head, so bad
ly diseased that he regarded them as
worthless. I did not call a veterina
rian and the lumps in due time disap
peared. In June I purchased a quan
tity of rock salt and left it where my
cattle had free access. It lasted until
October 1, and from that time until
December my cattle were salted irreg-
tie, two of them dehorned, . were at
tacked, and thinking it might be from
the wanft of salt, I procured another
supply, and since that there have
been no new cases and the affected
ones have recovered." -v
The question at once arises whether
any of thes,e oases were genuine lump
raw., or some 4iseasena might or
might not be due to the lack oT salt
The conclusion of our correspondent
that it pays to salt stock regularly is
obvious in either case. Are there a
number of diseases that pass under
the common name of lump-jawr hy
does it appear in some localities
and on some farms while
on other farms and in other
localities there is not a cade in ten
vears? We have never had a case and
have not seen a case in our locality
in twelve years. May not much of
what we call lump-jaw be simply the
lack of proper diet, salt and care, or
possibly of decaved teetn, which need
ed only the lance? At any .rate we
have . scriptural authority for the
statement than "salt is eooa, una
if the scare about lump-jaw leads
farmers to salt their cattle more regu
Urly it will be a good thing. Home-
