ON THE FARM.
It is really wonderful to note tho difference in treatment of stock in different countries of the world, and tho varying degrees of provision made for contingencies. Horse owners as a rule arc not parsimonious men, and yet few if any make tho slightest preparation for ailments in frequent occurrences. " Sore shoulders or saddle galls," they say, " will heal themselves." What is the use of fretting over them? Sprains, bruises, &c, do not appear on the surface, therefore what is the use of being hypersensitive and worrying ourselves? Stiffness in the joints and cramps, wo believo, do affect other people's horses, but ours remain free. It is hero that the humane and thinking man outshines his thoughtless neighbour, and such a stable is never without a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil, tho best known linament for man or beast. Keep your stock free from stiffness and pain, and your employe's on the look ont for their minor ailments, and you double thoir usefulness. In colics, colds, and similar attacks, St. Jacob's Oil is invaluable.
