ON THE FARM.

It is really wonderful to note the difference in treatment of stock in different countries of the world, and the varying: degrees ot provision made for contingencies. Horseowners, as a rule, are not parsimonious men, and yet few if any make the slightest preparation for ailments in frequent occurrences. " Sore shoulders or saddle frails," they say, " will heal themselves." What is the use of fretting over them ? Sprains, bruises, etc., do not appear on the surface, therefore what is the use of,being hypersen sitive and worrying ourselves? Stiffness in the joints and cramps, we believe, do affect other people's horses, but ours remain free. It is here that the humane and thinking man outshines his thoughtless neighbour, and such a stable is never without a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, the best known liniment for man or beast. Keep your stock fret from stiffness and pain, and your employees on the look-out for their minor ailments, and you double their usefulness. In colics, colds, and similar attacks St. Jacob's Oil L: invaluable.
