A Horse SHOE WITHOUT NAILs.-Mr. Short
OF New London, Conn, has invented q horse
shoe to be attached without the use of nails.
The patent shoe consists of an upper portion or
cap, and lower portion resembles the shape Of
peak to boys cap, but made the proper
size and shape to fit close round the upper side
OF a horses hoof and to- fssten at the heel by
small iron screw. The shoe is made of NAL
ieable iron; the lower edge of the cap is turned
inside so as to form ridge or ketcb which fits
into groove round tire outside edge Of the
lower portion or shoe proper, which resembles
in other respects the ordinary horse shoe, ex-
cept in having no nailholes. When the upper
and lower portions are placed in their proper
positions and fitted on the hoof, they are fixed
firmly and tightly together and on the hoof by
simply turning the screw above described With
small wrench. The growth of the hoof is
favorable to this invention because it keeps the
shoe tight, and all that is required is to occa-
sionally take off the shoe and rasp the hoof so
as to keep it from becoming too confined in the
shoe. In experiments Of using this kind Of
shoe, made Of malleabIe iron, it has been tried
for three months and found to answer well. 1t
does not make more noise than the ordinary
shoe and not more expensive, being made easier
and the upper portion being separate from the
lower, does not require renewing

INDIAN Corn CRoP.-The crop of Indian corn
in this country is of greater value than generally
believed. The Baltimore Sun observes: ave
are a corn-fed people and the consumption cannot
but increase with our growth. Indeed, total Glilsre
OF the corn crop would produce famine in the
land" In ls49 the crop was 592, OIL ,lO4 bushels
having increased at the rate of fifty per cent in
ten years. At similar ratio of increase the crop
OF 1853 will be 936, 1924 bushels, and that Of
1860 will be 1000, 0OO, 900 bushels.
The export of corn and corn meal from tie
United States at different periods, has been as fol-
lows: In 1887, 95l, 276 bushels; in 1889, 900.
1896 bushels; in 1916, S,s26,O bushels; in 1s4s,
Is, 2s3,l5l bushels; in 1850, 1892, 1902 bushels;
in 1852, 4,444,9l7 bushels; in 1854, 2O,OOO,OO0
bushels. 1t is supposed that in 1860, the quantity
OF corn exported will be over $50, 100000 bushels.
The Indian corn crop is worth more to the United
States than the gold crop of California
