HEALTH OF CANADIAN LIVE STOCK An outbreak of foot-and-mouth die- etiee in England reminds our Winnipeg eontemporary. The Farmers' Advocate and Home Journal, that Canada can in a great measure feel grateful tor being free from this and other dread dieeases affecting live stock that have been a source of hnmeasurable loss to Euro- pean farmers. and which they are ap- parently unable to combat, at least in Continental 'Europe. The Canadian Government has been and is enforcing very stringent regulations regarding the importation and inspection of live stock from British, European, and in fact all foreign ports, including the United States. So stringent, in fact, are they, that many importers complain bitterly from time to time regarding losses EuS4 tallied through these regulations. Even so, diseased animals are reported as having gained entrance to Canada from time to time. and some stockmen tedvo•. ettte even more thorough inspection. Tt would maioubtedly be a retrograde policy to lower the standard of health or inspection regulations in regard to imported live stock; even though from time to time splendid individual animals are lost through our present system of inspeetion.---Farmers' Advocate. tidfIEF,P. The care of a flock of sheep is a job a good deal lees swesty and laborious than the swinging of scythe and hoe in an unending effort to kill off the weeds. In the preseitee of such a flock the weeds rapidly disappear and the gra.ssee take possession od the pround. Mutton always eommande a profitable price, and the e. n' :tied returns from mutton and word, added to the services of the sheep in keeping down weeds and enriching the land, will always make the flock a highly valuable contributor to the pros- perity of the farna—C.

It can lee recognieed firet upon the leaves, which lose their green color, be- come spotted with yellowish patches and soon die, turning to a dark brown or black. In dry weather, the dead patches increase very little, but in damp weather they pread over the leaves very rapidly. After destroying the leaves, the disease attacks the stem and the whole plant above ground may be reduced in a few hours to a moist black- ish, foul-smelling mass. On the under surface of the leaf, around the margin of each dead spot, a distinct border of greyish -white "mil- dew" may be observed. The presence of ':-this whitish rim is very characteristic of this disease, and enables one to dis- tinguish it from others which kJ]) the leaves and form the natural withering at the end of the growing season. --R. L. Vining, Morrisburg, in Canadian Farm. WORK HORSES AND THEIR CARE. Many a valuable horse has been lost through carelessness in depasturing. It is the custom of many farmers to tUrit their team to pasture in summer after a day's work is done. The fresh bite of herbage is enjoyed, and no food is more wholesome and. inviting, for the equine laves so long as they are given the field to themselves unstained by sheep or robbed by other stock. Caution should mare< the guaeded way here at the start. The spring east wind at night. ere dangerous, as a team that has worked in the hot Fittli. So as to per- spire moat of the day may be unfitted to go to pasture in the evening lest chills arise. Generally after May is out, however, even the east winds have lost their sting for the season, and, moreover, the hedges are by that time clothed to give shelter in time of storin or gale, and so the team eecapes harm while deriving much good.—Caneallen Farmer. HARD BUTTER MAKING. Butter for export trade needs to have 0. high melting point, which means less tendency to melt in order to withstand transportation. Tide is perhaps more ap- plicable to the State e which ship but- ter to the warmer eountries of the 4outh; but in View of our new prefer- ential tariff with the West Indies in- cluding butter on the list, a few re- marks may nut be out of place on this Subject. To regulate the -consistencyof but- ter the dairyman has to rely almost en- tirely on the nature and blending of his feedstuffs. if a grain ration composed .of corn meal and cottonseed meal is com- bined with a, barley etubble pasturage, the butter becomes too hard for home use. On the other hand, a very soft but- ter would result from a ration consist- ing sof gratis, linseed meal and bran. Analyses of beet tops ;show that water constitutes about seven -eighths of their composition. One hundred pounds of dig,estible nutrients compoeed of 1.71 poundof protein, 6.40 pounds of carbohydrates, .03 pounds of fat and having a total cash value of $1.68. These tops, consisting of the leaves and tip of the beet, have given good results am- ong Ameriean Pacific Coast feeder,i. They are, of coulee, used only as d part of the animal's forage ration, Owing to the bitter taste beet tope should not be used where milk le used for home or city consumptlen and when used for butter making it is advisable to pasteurize it before making the butter. -Canadian Farm. HOG CHOLERA. A news despatch from Windsor last week stated that a herd of hog % near there had been ordered destroyed, ow- ing to art outbieak of hog eholera hay- ing been discovered there. Investigation by "The Farmer's Advocate" disclosed the reassuring fact that the outbreak had so far been limited to one premises, and that twelve hogs had been destroy- ed. A few 'other email outbreaks have oceurred during the past year hi the Windsor vicinity, We have, however, not .experienced any eerious outbreaks of this disease in Canada for some years, although there have been a number of instances where it was deemed advis- able to destroy all hogs in large pigger- ies in Western Canada. The origin of these outbretzke has been attributed to the feeding -of raw garbage. as in nearly every ease thie disease lute broken mit in hogs fed on this material. This malady is produced so readily by theee meane, fleet it has been found nocessrtry to amend the hog tholera. regulations, and warn owners that comperHation will not be paid for hose deetroyed for tide dieettee, which 'MVO been fed intuit uneeoked garbage.

Could you publish some solution or remedy to keep flies off horses? Fe F. C. An unobjectionable fly repellant for horses is not easy to compose. Many of those used succeesfully on cattle are inadvisable on account of the hair be- ing rather etichy, spoiling the appear- ance of the coat, and causing dust to adhere. There is e certain proprietary specific which has been advertisecl in this journal, and has given excellent re- sults in the case of cattle. This may be moderately applied. to horses, with fair- ly satisfactory results.

Impure milk is a treacheroue 'har- binger or disease. The fact that It Is the principal food of the baby and the young clilld, a.nd an import- ant factor in all diets makes its con- sideration doubly eignificant from the health standpoiut, 'The resorter should be as careful to patronize a hotel or towii where there is a good milk supply as he is to select one with a good water supply. 'While the average vacation com- munity has no adequate municipal nilk inspection, It should be a com- paratively easy thing to handle the milk problem properly. There is no reason why proprie- tors o fdairlee, supplying the milk, should not make the simple teats for dirt, temperature and freslanese. The dairyman can pasteurize his supply. He can date the milk to show it is not over 24 hours old. And he can keep his bottles in such shape that there can be no question about impuritia from that source, The trouble is little enough and he should take it. Now colliesthe duty of the patron. It is the duty of each consumer to refuse to patronize a place that does not supply clean milk or does not give the facts as they are. On the other *hand it is a duty as well as wisdom to patronize the deal- er who goes to some trouble and ex- pense to have things right and tell the facts to the public. 3,111k which has been carelessly handled can convey typhoid germs, diphtheria, scarlet fever, septic sore throat and tuberculosis. It can cause summer complaint among children, and in some measure =wig adults also, Sometimes, even with the great- est care and forethought, people find they have come into a commituity where the milk is very indifferent, If not positively injurious. Then if it is not possible'to change living places or to remedy the milk supply the resorter must turn to pre- caution. lie will be moderately‘safe if lie sticks to hot milk—hot milk in coffee instead of cream, and hot I milk to drink instead of cold milk.

The Miusaehusetts Society for the ]?i'cventiun of Cmuelty to Animals is conducting a campaign against blinders, eepecially for work horses. The ilOrt30 is a very sensitive animal and easily frightened, and it is natural to suppose that the use of blinders does not give it confidence. When a horse is able to see what eaueee a noise, for instance, it is not so likely to take fright ate it would if it were ignorant of the cause. Cremation as a means of disposing of the bodies of the dead is making greater beodway in Switzerland than in any • other country. One organization, whose 4010 objeet is to reform funeral customs„ hae, enrolled over 800 members in a year and boasts of a membership of 3,641. Tide is in St. Gall, a eity with less than 40,- 000 of a population. The yearly dues •are 40 cents, while the entire coet of ?cremation is somewhat less than &22, including coffin. flowers, urn, and care of the ashes for twenty years. In ease the deeeased is not a member, or where a body is brought from another place, a slight charge is made. Bodies of the poor are cremated without extra charge . when. it is shown that it was the wish of the deceased to have their remains so disposed of. For minors, the wishes of parents or guardians are respected, 4 I There is gradually coming about among automobile manufacturers the ab- surd yearly changes in models which I have only the effect of depreciation of old cars. A leading manufacturer, in , announcing his determination to avoid comparatively useless changes, says: Hereafter the various ears will be known by their model letters, without reference to date, and a model will con- tinue, irrespective of the year, until it is found. advisable to change it. At that time the current model designation e will be dropped and a new one used. The circular of the company states: "This policy has been decided upon by the White Company- because it ecems to be the logical and, common sense method. The practice of making changes in a ear, oftentimes so unimportant as to be absurd, at a certain time each year, for the mere sake of bringing out something different, places a false depreciation on a ear of last year'e design, and creates an artificial demand for the so-called new models, which practice does 1i(4 seem to be in accord with eonini tasinese prineiples." A Washington patent solicitor of many years' experience says that for one or other of many reasons which he ad- vances, fully 80 per cent, of the ateats which are issued by the United. States patent officer are destitute of any pecuniary value. He offere a few words of advice to all would be applicants, some of which may be of value to Can- adian readers: Never apply for any United. States patent on any invention except where careful consideration and investigation indicates a clear probability of being able to derive revenue from that patent if granted. Never apply for any foreign patent on any American invention under any circumstances whatever. When about to apply for a United States patent on an American invention do not prosecute that application until after a personal interview or other re- liable evidence causes a elear opinion that the person employed is both com- petent and candid. Never attempt to circumvent the yet- ent lawe by trying to get a patent in any illegitimate way. Never make any contract for the sale of any patent or the sale of any lkenee under any patent except in writing; and never make any such eoutraet except (me which is written by some lawyer Or other competent person other than the party purehasing the patent or the lieen,e.
