It is seldom that a horse is found entirely clear of them, particularly about the hind legs, if he be much used. They are produced by hard usage, strains, bruises, &c., of the back, sinews, or the sheath that covers them, which, by being over-strctched, have some of their fibres ruptured ; whence may ooze out the fluid which is commonly found with the included air. When wind galls make their first appear ance, they are easily cured by a bath and bandage. Boil red-oak bark to a strong de coction, add some sharp vinegar, and a lit tle alum, let the parts be fomented twice a day, warm as the hand can be held in it; then take a woollen cloth, dip it in the bath, and bind the ankle up as tight as possible, without giving pain to the horse. Should this method not succeed, after a thorough trial, the swelled or puffed parts may be opened with a sharp knife; but blis tering with flies is less dangerous, and gen erally attended with equal success. Wind galls give to a horse a gouty and clumsy appearance; but I have never known lameness produced by them, or any other in jury, except that of stiffening his legs as he advances in years. They furnish strong proof that the animal has rendered much service. TAKE CARE OP THE PEET. Many are careless in the care of their feet. If they wash them once a month, they think they are doing well. They do not consider that the largest pores of the system sre located in the bottom of the foot, and that the most offensive matter is discharged through those pores. No one has failed to notice the odor which is ex perience! in the presence of certain per sons. They wear stockings from the be gining to the end of the week without change The stockings become completely saturated with offensive matter. It is sickening to bs ia the presence of such persons. I I litraltli is generated by such treatment of the feet. The pores are not only repel lants but ibsorbents, and this fetid matter, to a greater or less extent, is taken back into the system. The feet should be wash ed and iily, as wellns the arm pits, from which an offensive odor is also emitted, unless daily ab’u'ion is practiced, Cleanliness is next to godliness. A man nor woman cm neither Feel well nor be well unless trequent bathing is pract'ced. Stockings snould not be wirn more than a day or two at a time. They may be worn for one day, and then aired and sunned and worn another day; but to wear the same stockings for a whoio week is not doing justice to your, feet, nor your health, nor your conscience ; for who can have a clear conscience in a foul body.— Rural World. Cream in WiNTER.-Keep where moder ately warm, and add at each milking (or once a day) a little hot milk. Heat the milk till almost to a boiling point; heat it fresh from the cow. The quantity is about a pint to a pailful at each milking. The effect of this is to prevent the cream from turning bitter; the butter-milk will be as sweet and fresh as in summer, and the but ter in consequence will be better than with out this treatment. We have this from an old experienced dairyman, who has practiced it for many years, and we are personally known to the excellence of the practice. It is a paint that should be known, for there is much bad butter made in winter, and but ter-milk unfit to use. The way to Select Flour. —First look to the color; if it is white, with a yellowish or stiaw tint, buy it. If it is very white, with a bluish cast, or with specks in it, re fuse it. Second, examine its adhesiveness; wet and knead a little of it between your fin gers ; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor. Third, throw a little lump of dry flour against a smooth surface ; if it falls like powder, it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the flour in your hand; if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that, too, is a good sign. Flour that will stand all these tests, it is safe to buy. These modes are given by old flour dealers, and they pertain to a matter that coucerns everybody—the staff of life. Hogs in Winter. —Hogs in winter should have a warm bed of straw, changed now and then, and clean given them. It is a great help, greater than you think. It will prevent disease ; it will save feed; it will promote comfort and cheerfulness, which is something even in a hog. A shi vering, suffering hog will not do well. Give it good quarters, with clean straw, and it will be comfortable. No Fences in Germany. —The Secretary of the Ohio Agricultural Society, who has been traveling in Germany, speaking of the country near Dresden, says : Every foot of land in the forest is cultivated. There are no fences ; the field is plowed up to the roadside, and fruits and flowers are .grown by every roadside that I traveled: no one dis turbs them. The cattle, sheep and swine are kept in stables, or, if taken out, are under the charge of a shepherd or herdsman. Here and there, dotted over the landscape, we saw sheep in pasture, but have seen no cattle or swine “ running about loose.” The genus “loafer ”is unknown here. mTCIIEL & SMITHS, /COMMISSION MERCHANTS, Rals ton’s Granite Range, Third Street, near Express Office.
