BAL FEET IN HORSES.

A horse, inheriting the least predis-
position to faulty feet, is at all times Ii,
able, when used for draught, or speed,
on paved thoroughfares, to disease of the
same, which may end in contraction, it
being, in nine cases out of ten, the result
of primary disease of the foot.
A defect in the conformation of q
horses foot, may be SO slight as to es-
cape ordinary observation, and sooner
or later the evil is discovered.
That a tendence to contraction of
horses feet does not lurk in some breeds,
we have abundance Of authoritative proof
to offer, if necessary consequently,
faulty shoeiDg cannot be classed as the
direct cause of contraction.
A point-blank argument in favor of
the blacksmith in this view, is founded
on the fact, that contraction of the hind
feet, which undergo the same system of
shoeing, seldom, if ever, become the seat
of this deformity. Among u truck
horses, may be found many of the Penn
s~ylvania, New York, and Vermont
breeds, that have to endure all the evils
of shosing, as well as of domestication !;
yet a great proportion of them enjoy i'm
munity from contracted feet. There
fore. the latter are not predisposed g;
they have good open heels, the foot is
we'll proportional in all is parts, and
bears q symmetrical relationship in size,
form, and action, to the limb and body,
which it aids to support and move.
Hence contraction, as well as many
other forms of disease which are observed
in the feet of the horse, have their orr
gin in hereditary p~redisposition there
fore, it is a matter of impossibility for a
smith to make a good foot out of one
that was originally defective.-Ameri-

full in some continental countries; at
leas. when it exists in both hinder legs,
as it frequently does, being, however,
usually confined to one side: very sell

stances at the most. It is evidently.a
spasmotic contraction of some one or
more Of the fexors &C the leg which
usually ceases after tha animal is In mo
ton it is the consequence of local irri
tation or of pressure on some ervou
fbrila, which the excitement of Exercise
renders less acute, and generally restores
the action of the legs to its natural con-
dition. It is not hereditary or congeni-
tai, and seldom appears until the ep-
proach to the adult age. It is injurious,
inasmuch as il units the horse for GER
tain purposes, as racing, delaying the
start SO long as to give away every ad
vantage. It is considered incurable /;
and therefore any and all treatment is
useless, ave for experiment.

KINDS OF GREEN CORN FOR Ia
BILE USE.

Every farmer, and every amateur
grower Of horticultural products, should
plant various kinds of corn, to be used
for boiling or roasting while in its green
state. Now, which are the best kinds ?
AnsBer-the Early Jefferson, White
Flouf Corn, Twelve Rowed Sweet, and
StowelIs Evergreen.
The Early Jefferson, if grown in a few
degrees further South than whore the
seed is procured, will produce roasting
ears in sixty days from the time of plant
ing. The ears are about eight inches
long, and the corn white, and a little
fiDty, the kernels of good fair size, and
the taste almost sweet.
The White Flour Corn does not ma
turo for roasting or boiling purposes
uudorsabout ninety days. The ears are
nine or eleven inches long the corn a,
dali white, a very little finty, kernels
fair size, good for eating green, and all
the overplus, when white will grind in
to meal almost as white and handsome
as the best of wheat -four.
The Twelve Rowed Sweet Corn is an
Improvement on the old common sweet
corn having larger ears, and larger ker-
nels.
The Stowell's Evergreen is a variety
of sweet corn that requires longer to ma
ture than any other variety. 1tfurnish-
es a supply of green corn very late in
the season, the ears, many of them, being
suited to boiling in November, and if
left in the shocks in the field, or gather
ed and hung up with the husks on, is Of
ten good for eating during the winter.
