The merrie month of May has not opened in a much more genial manner than April closed. We experienced a slight frost on Wednesday morning, and the day reminded one of January more than May, with a keen dry east wind blowing, and fires ■and winter clothing still much in evidence. The trade for store cattle is still very quiet, warm showery weather being required to make it move off a bit. Beef is in better demand.
At this season of the year the thoughts of many of our farmers are turning to their in-foal mares, and the question of foaling is a very interesting one in horse breeding districts, and even in localities which do not quite come under this term, for most farmers generally manage to put a mare or two to horse each year. The best months for foaling are March, April and May, and of these the present month especially, as now the youngsters are most likely to have warm genial weather. And nothing in the shape of food is comparable with the green herbage of spring and early summer for milk production in the dams. Early foaling only too frequently means debility, untbriftimess_ and stunted growth in the foals, unless artificial treatment is adopted ; and even hay and oats do not fully compensate for the absence of grass—the natural animal food. When foals miss a good start at the commencement of their life, and sustain a Check to their growth, it generally requires much time and nursing to repair the damage, indeed, sometimes the effect is so serious that their vigour and full development are permanently arrested.

Foaling late in the year is also objectionable as the young animals have then not sufficient time to gain strength before ׳the advent of winter. The season of the year and the state of the weather will determine the propriety of turning the dam ■and foal out to grass after foaling, if the mare is kept in house for the operation, but the sooner this can■ safely be done the better for both, as the genial rays of the sun have a most exhilarating influence on the foal. Exposure to rain must be avoided if possible, as the woolly texture of the foal’s coat retains the wet for a long time, and is very likely to give rise to catarrh or some bowel affection.
Sometimes mares, and most frequently those with their first foal, do not secrete a sufficient quantity ■of milk to nourish their offspring. Gentle rubbing of the udder with new milk and allowing the foal to go to the teat as■ often as he will, stimulates the gland ; while soft succulent food, such as grass, sloppy mashes, boiled barley or oats, with a little treacle added, assists in exciting the secretion. When the mare chances to be ill, or dies, or does not give ■milk, then the foal must be nursed by a foster mother, or fed artificially with cow’s milk and water in the proportion of two of the former to one of the latter, sweetened with a little sugar. In those instances in which this food does not prove suitable, less of it may be given, and a preparation of husked beans, boiled to a pulp and squeezed through a hair sieve, when it forms a thick fluid-like cream, has been recommended as an excellent substitute. A dose of castor oil to the amount of one or two ■ounces may be required by the foal so fed, as constipation is not unfrequent ; and, indeed, this should always be given when the young creature does not obtain the first milk of its dam, ■and also when it is being suckled by the mare if its bowels are torpid.

Leaflets have recently been issued by the Royal Agricultural Society of England dealing with “quarter evil,” and the "prevention of epizootic abortion in cows.” The remarks on the former ■disease are collated from the article on the subject by Professor McFadyean in the Journal of the Society. The malady is known by various names, such as black leg, black quarter, strike, puck, ■etc., and is caused by a germ which grows in the ׳tissues of the part, affected, usually the muscular tissue of one of the fore or hind limbs. The disease is not infectious or contagious in the ordinary sense of the word, but when an animal has died from it, it is advisable to take certain precautions with regard to the disposal of the carcase, which should not be skinned or opened, and, if possible, should be buried deeply in some place to which cattle and sheep will not afterwards have access. If the animal has died in a building all dung and litter should be removed and burnt, and a strong solution of carbolic applied to the floor and lower part of walls and woodwork. Quarter evil is confined to cattle ■and sheep, and is not communicable to human beings, in which it differs from anthrax. Anthrax in cattle and sheep is very rarely attended with the development of a swelling about any part of
