parts Yet, after all, run of grass, IN soft
pasture, the animal having nothing more than
rps Oh his feet, is the best treatment 4 Very
popular notion exists that COW manure has a
wonderful effect on a contracted loof but it
is the candid opinion of the author, and no
doubt the reader viii coincide, that filth and
dirt of every kind are unfavorabe to, healthy
action. Such remedy, aside from its objection
ON the score Of decency, savors too much of
by7gone days. when live eels were sent on an
errand down horses throats to unravel theirin-
testines. If any benefit belongs to such objec-
tionable application, it isdue to the property it
possesses of retaining moisture; therefore cold
poultiees aud water are far superior. Clay and
moist earth placed in the stall for the horse to
stand upon, are far inferior to a stufling of wet
oakum which can be removed at pleasure. In
order to keep it in contact with the sole, we
have only to insnuate two strips of wood be
tween the sole and shoe one running length
wise and the other crosswise of the foot 1t
affords considerable pressure to the foot, is
cooling and cleanly, and is far superior to the
above articles"

Lima FER FoWls.


All domestic fowls, as we'll as other animals,
require more or less lime It is the chief con-
stituent of their bones, and is probably useful
in many cases, in small quantities as condi-
Inent In addition to these purposes fowls
which lay eggs require lime for the formation
of the egg shells. Ordinary, fowls which have
their liberty can procure sufficient lime to
satisfy their wants 1t is contained in the
grain on which they feed, and frequently in
the stones and earth which they swallow
But in Winter when fowls have less access
to the ground, or when they are confined in
small enclosures, they have less opportunity to
select the mineral substances which they re-
uuire Hence an artificial supply becomes
necessary. How shall this be given? By
placing the articles within their reach, SO that
they may take, voluntarily just the quantity to
which they are prompted by nature. Place
slaked lime, broken into pieces the size ofpeas
OH shelves where the fowls can pick it up
By slaking lime in vessel, in considerable
water, SO that it will form paste, and letting
dry, it can readily be pounded into the desired
form, in which it appears to suit the fowls best
An article is going the rounds recommending
lime-water, for fowls. If they are compelled
to drink lilne-water because they can get no
other, it may be Objectionable. Lime water
may be used as a medicine for sick horse"
for which it was prepared by the person who
originated the article alluded to, and as We
have said, lime may be good in other cases;
but it is Il welknown fact that animals, from
man downward, are more subject to certain
diseases by being confined to the use of lime
water and that prrc water is decidedly more
wholesome
We would use lime as we would salt. 1t is
generally admitted that many animals are
benefited by eating certain amount of salt;
but it has been proved that they may be forced
TO take too much either by being kept on hay
too highly salted. or for want of fresh water be-
ing obliged to drink that which was salt. Hence
the safest and most beneficial mode Of ad-
ministering salt has been found to be to keep
the substance constantly within reach of the
animal, by which they always take just what
they need aud no more.
We see no objection to giving lime to fowls
in solution provided they have pure water
always within their reach, but there is nothing
to show that this form of giving lime has any
advantages over the mode first described above,
and the former has the preference as to con-
venence, especially in cold weather, when the
article is most required.

The following are the directions of DR. Dadd
for this disease, and we regard them as the best
we have seen on this interesting subject to eve
ry farmer, few Of whom are acquainted with
this important knowledge The shoer, howev-
er has much to do with this disease for in
many cases he can cure it, in its early stages,
by proper shoeing. Many horses are injured in
their feet, some Of them for life, by unwork-
lnanlike shocing, and vet how few owners Of
horses know it:
" In all cases we must endeayor TO give the
frog bearing on the ground; and in order to
DO TINS the shoe ought to be removed. A dry,
brittle ana contracted hoof may he improved by
repeated ponticlng with soft soap and rye meal,
applied cold. 20 soon as the hoof softens, let
1t be dressed, night and morning, with turpen-
tine, ln7eed oil and roTdered charcoal equal

To DESTROY MoLEs-To the Editor of the
Farm Journal: l take this opportunity of ans
wering the enquiry of John Kelsey, in the De
cember number of the Farm Journal. In the
springs of 1850 and 81, was annoyed with
moles and ground mice beyond endurance Ny
garden, and even my potatoes, were subject to
their depredations l first tried trapping; but
all to little Or no purpose / next set about
discovering remedy in the shape of poisoned
corn, which proved a very effectual one / pro-
cured some of the roots of the plant known by
the name of hellebore | then boiled it in a
sufficient quantity of water to make a strong
liquor, and put the cern to soak in it until per-
fectly swelled, when it is fit for use; and to my
great satisfaction it entirely exterminated all
moles and ground mice. 1t is also very good
to step Mister crow blackbird or chicken from
taking up corn in the field. 1t will kill every
thing that eats it, and does not appear to hurt
the termination of the corn providing the corn
is not put to soak while the liquor is hot.

BURNING THE ENDS OF FENCE PosTs.-A
correspondent of the Ohio Farmer gives the
following common sense reason for not adopting
this practice
1T is a well known fact that charcoal will
not rot; hence the idea has obtained, that to
char the posts will preserve them but if the
timber is scorched it will certainly crack into
many small seams and probably some of them
from one TO two inches deep-whch of course
will admit the damp and water about as freely
as if the coal was net there consequently the
posts are injured and the durability decreased
Many years ago, too was under that impress
sion that to burn posts would make them last
longer. / have been cultiYator of the soil
for upwards of 50 years, and am now upwards
of II years old, consequently have some expe-
rience in these matters
