essary, the breeding crate. During
the winter of 1917-18, however, sev-
eral groups of sows were bred, by
allowing a boar to run with each lot.
Besides obviating much labor in hand -
breeding reluctant individuals and
reducing to a minimum the number of
"missed sows"—the size and vigor of
the resultant litters left little to be
desired.
In brief, to the manwho keeps
only a few sows, and who makes use
of a' neighboring boar; breed on the

the sow's individual peculiarities. See
that she is in rising condition—not
fat, not titin, but in fair fleeh and
gaining everyday. If the sows have
been on fall grass, use 0 little grain
before bleeding. If the sows have
been irregular in heat, this will tend
to bring them in for breeding regul-
arly and within a few clays of one an-
other. Use judgment in breeding

Winter Care roF the Horse.
It is often claimed that the winter
care of horses is much more import-
ant than at any other season of the
year. In spring:, summer, and fall,
they are tvorked•ev y day, and are
fed regularly, and liberally watered.
They are cleaned at regular inter-
vals, and tho labor in the open air
tends to keep them healthy and vigor-
ons, In winter when team work is
not needed, the horses are often ne-
glected, some'days going Without be
irig cleaned, and perhaps going for a
week or more with no more exercise
than they get While being led to wa-
ter. Many stable's are not properly
ventilated. The air is breathed over
ante over again, and becomes nexeous
in a short time. Under such care
and treatment 'limos soon become
debilitated,
A .cold stable is to be shunned as
much 'as a badly ventilated one.
Horses should not be kept in a dark
stable, am where they ere constantly
compelled to :]'rice the light, The
best way is to have tine light admitted
into the stable behind ' the horses.
When they are not frequently driven
or worked they should have a yard
or field where they may exercise. The
stalls should be well` 'littered with
straw, and the droppings removed at
least once a day. In the winter
there is no excuse for not cleaning
the hooses every day, Our experience
has been that e coarse brush is better
than anything else for removing dirt
from the skin without annoying the
;:animal..
There is much diversity of opinion
hs to the best winter feed tor horses.

While stable blanketing in Winter
hus many advocates, we have never
favored the practice. The only time
title use blankets is after the }forte re-
tains heated from a trip in the cold
weather, or if -the allima4 is sick, A
horse with proper food and stabling
can withstand more cold with less in-
convenience, and is less likely to take
cold from an omission. to b'lan'ket
while waiting on the road, than if ac-
customed to constant blanketing in
the stable. • -
• There is no rule to lay down in the
matter of shoeing. Every horse own-
er should use his own judgment. But

tect the foot or to prevent -the horse
From slipping when the roads are icy,
not a moment should be lost to have
the horse propel'ly shod.
Don't make food conservation an
excuse to set a less nourishing and
satisfying table than usual for your:
family. Remember that we still
have good food, and much food, so
that every table can be well provid-
ed.

Monseigneur Choquette, at the an-
nual 'meeting of the Commission of
Conservation in 1916, speaking on
this subject of speculation, said:
"Few days pass whoa • farmers,
young and old, are not asked to take
part in financial concerns, in specula-
tions which dangle ufitold riches be-
fore their longing eyes. The agents
are clever and persevering. They
have A. thousand strings to their bow.
Town lots, :minurg claims, natural gas
and oil' wells, patents, are all means
of enticement, all the more alluring
since the risk which accompanies
them is hidden more or less 'honestly
under the name of some master of
• finance, or by an advertisement clev-
erly inserted in a conspicuous place
in a newspaper of wide circulation,
It is a veritable scourge, a plague.
One must live in the country and
hear the wails of the victims, to
grasp the whole situation. I 'do not
think that I exaggerate when I de-
clare that in the one, county where
I live, $100,000 and more have simply
been thrown away by our farmers.
Some of these, seized by a fatal
frenzy, have not hesitated, to sell
their ,beautiful farms, the heritage
received from their forefathers, in

I try to manse her see the soul of me,
She stares at space with oyes that

I try to make her feel me on her

She feels me not, nor sees my soul,
nor hears.
My body's buried 'neath a pretty

Treatment of Burns, • Including the
Ambrine Treatment.
The objects sought in the treat-
ment of burns are' the relief of pain,
the overcoming of shock, and the re-
straining and limitation of reaction
and of congestion and inflammation
of the internal organs.
If burns are slight the principal
object seems to be to protect them
from the irritating effects of the air.
After being es carefully cleansed
as may be possible or necessary, they
should be covered with olive oil, oe a
mixture of Iinseed oil and' lime wa-
ter, or thickly powdered. with zinc
and bismuth. •
Or when these substances are not
available a covering of molasses,
flour or white lead may be used.
11 is well to 'spread these substan-
ces upon gauze :of cheese -cloth and
then cover the surface with absorb-
ent cotton securely applied.
The fluid in blisters may be with-
drawn through punctures but the
skin must not be broken, if possible.
The dressings must not' be renewed
more frequently than is essential
for cleanliness and healing and great
care must be taken in removing them
for the process is extremely painful
and will retard healing unless dope
so as to avoid irritation.
To prevent extensive scarring and
contraction skirt grafting may be re-
quired in severe burns.
In burns resulting :from the action
of acids, alkalies Iike bismuth •or bi-
carbonate of. soda, or chalk muse,
be applied at promptly as possible:
If art acid like carbolic acid lute
been swallowed, plaster scl'alied from
the wall or flour or white of egg or
milk may be used.
If the burn bees been p1.'oduced by
caustic alkali vinegar or some other
rd1lcl acid should be used as an anti-
dote. '
The diet must be extremely simple
for a f days after burns have been
received' hecauoo the digestive organs
are incompetent to do 100011 work.
Thirst is usually intense and may
be relieved with 1913 and water and
with sedative. drugs if necessary,
.The bowels must be kept open and
-frequently this can best be dono by
eirematat.•

found the application of ordinary
melted paraffin° as a dressing too
painful and they were able to com-
pletely obviate this by spraying the
burned surface with liquid vaseline,
covering this with a film of absorb-
ent cotton and then painting with a
coat of melted paraffine.
ICeeu's method cif treating exten-
sive burns consists in first giving a
hypodermic of morphine, then a hy-
podermic of salt solution and a hot
rectal enema ,of the same with, appli-
cation of heat to the feet.
In half an hour, if the patient is
not reacting well, he is to be placed
in a hot bath .of salt solution or
boric acid solution without' removing
his clothing.
Half an leper later he is to be
placed' in a room at 110 degrees F.,
his clothing removed and such dress-
ings applied as may be deemed suit-
able.
