HoRsE-suoEING.1 many horses, valua-
lie horses in many respects, are spoiled by hav-
ing defective fore feet The general defect in
the fore feet is called piDched or contracted
feet This makes the animal tender forward,
liable to fall when going down hill, and cOnse-
uuentlv unsafe When the forward feet of the
horse are defective, his usefulness on the road
is much impaired and in fact there is no COM
fort or safety in using such a horse.
What causes tender feet The most COM
mon cause is bad shoeng, with improper care
of the animal There are few good horse
shoers Not one blacksmith in fifty knows
how to shoe horse properly. How frequent
ly do boys and apprentices, as soon as they
can drive nail, undertake to set shoes with
out any knowledge of the anatomy of the horses
feet, or any Of that inborn philosophy which
teaches man to look at the reason of the
thing. 1t is a shame and an outrage upon the
rights of horses to have such state of things.
1t is also lamentable fact, that not one
man in hundred knows when his horse is well
shod. Commonly, man leads his horse to
the blacksmith-shop, lets the work be done,
and then goes off with his horse, satisfied, be-
cause he has shoes on his feet.
There are two very common faults in shoe
ing horses One is, the shoes are too Short
How can a horse travel with ease, unless his
shoes are long enough for him to set his whole
feet down on the shoes ? A horse suffers as
much with short shoes, as & man does with
boots of any insufficient length. How can a
horse travel easily all day over our rough roads,
with shoes half an inch too short | do not
know how many times have been panied at
seeing horses with short shoes on. Have the
shoe as long as the foot The longer it is, rea-
sonably, the better support it will give.
The second fault is, shoes are made cOncare
instead of cOnrer. When horse sets down
his foot, if it can, it will spread little. THIS
arrangement was made to save the animal from
pounding a solid foot on the ground. The foot
of horse has layers or springs, rs it were, in
it and the shoe should be made accordingly
If the heel of the shoe dishes in, how can the
horses heel spread when he puts his foot down?
1t can not but it is bound tighter, so that il
cramps the foot and after while it results IN
Ptnnhed feet
A forward foot shoe should be made with
the heel of it slightly convex to let the heel
spread naturally when the horse puts his foot
down.-llaine Farmer.

processes he succeeded in doing and quickly recovered
He then applied the to others similarly al

sangune expectations for not only did these Baths
mineral poisons but cured many diseases of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin

of health. Very often persons afflicted by diseases

FRosr As a MANUIE-We know of no treat
ment so directly beneficial for almost every
class of soils aS that of throwing up Ian in
narrow ridges, in the fall or early winter
There are few soils worth cutivating at all
that do not contain more or less materials
which can be made available to plants by the
combined action Of air and frost.
Take two plots of heavy sol side by side,
and let one lie unmoved till spring, while the
other is deeply plowed in autumn, and the re-
suit will he very visible in the spring crop
But the manner of plowing is important 1"
secure the greatest possible advantage, single
furrow should be thrown up, and another back
furrow directly upon it, 50 as to produce Il
high ridge, and another ridge is to he made in
the same manner with deep dead-furrow be-
tween the two. The process is to he contnu-
ed thus through the field, so that when finish
ed, it will present a surface of high ridges and
deep dead burrows, succeeding each other, about
once in two or two and a half feet. III prcpar-
ell in this wav, the frost will penetrate far
downward looSening and diSint egratIng the
soil below the burrows, while the ridges Will
crumbIe down. as they will not hold water, the
air will circulate freely through them, decom-
posing the mineral portions, and conveying III
the ammonia and other gases This operation
will be equal to ten or more loads of good ma
nure, upon clay or compact soils,
In the Spring it will only be necessary to
run plow once OF twice through the center OF
each ridge and then level the whole down
with heavy harrow.
Another advantage in this process, is that
when land is thus prepared, it dries ont and
warns several days earlier in the Spring
Again, there are some soils that arc exhausted
upon the winter, these poisonous compounds
Casually proto-sulphate of iron or manganese
will be DESTROYED, or changed to harmless
form, during the winter.
The above practice is especially to be re-
commended in the garden. One of the most
successful cultivators of an acre of ground III
our acquaintance, digs it up in the fall to the
depth of three or four feet, making deep trench,
es and high ridges, so that the whole acre ap-
pears to be covered with high winrows of hay

We strongly urge every farmer who has not
tried this method, to lay ont their plans now
for experiment in this way, on larger or small

ARTIFICIAL FIsH-There was a new feature
at the Agricultural Fair, at Cleveland, Ohio
show of fish raised artifcially. They are
chiefly spotted brook trout, from six months to
two years old, and were in large tank with
glass sides, supplied with a running stream of
ice water. Doctors Garlch aud Arckley, who
furnish the exhibition, have quite fish rails
ing" about two miles from Cleveland. In the
pond are thousands of FISH, principally trout,
all raised BY artificial means.
