Ho,se-ShOeing.-Ths President read an excellent
paper upon shoeng in which he atuibuted most
of the lame of horses to bad shOeg. lie recon-
mends uking but three, az most five nails to shoe,
which be says he has proved by many experiments
fully sufficient. If five nsils used, pat three out
side and two inside. If but three nails are used put
one n the ceuter and one each eide. Tho foot never
should be pared fit the shoe but the shoe fitted to
the foot and the edge Of the hoo rasped off.
The freq never should be cut Old shoes should never
be wreI ched off but the cnchers cut away that
the nails will draw without cutting the horn of the
hoof The hoof never should be touched with hot
shoe. The groove should be wide, as to allow the
nail-heads TO sink even with the surface. Nolseless
thoes can be made, and shoes to be used upon the
Russ pavement should be furnished with points made
removable so as to be sharpened at pleasure.
Dr. Smith alluded to the necessity OF greater vetern-
ary knowledge in this country and paid just tribute
TO Capt Raiston for the efforts he has made in this
behalf II really makes me glad said be, to soc any
thing done toward treating the poor horse with more

ect which was before the Club two weeks ago, and
which, from what was then said has since elected
good deal Of interest," again called up, and several
persons spoke upon il. Judge MEIGs thought good
grindsone farm equal TO hand, where several
employed, as they would save the LABOR OF one
man by usirg sharp tools snch as good farmer with
good grindstone will have. This dIscussl9n OF
i hat mi
much good.
Solos RoBrSsbs-I rise to read letter from j. S.
Whitney Co., who have been 30 years In the trade;
one paragraph Of this letter reads as follows;
"As manufacturers, and importers OF and dealers III
ndstones desire to express thanks for your
eloquent tribute to the convenience and utility OF the
article, in your remarks before the Farmers Club
They state that they have gIndstonesfrom England,
Scotland Sweden, France, Nova Scotia, and Ohio.
Is possible that this country only furnishes one NTH
Of the supply of this important necessary OF ie tnst
is of farm lie. For contend that no man can Ape
witho ut grindstone however long he may stay. We
probably have coed grit in the United States as
can be found in the world In Arkansas there s stone
that compares well with Turkey oIstone. In White
makes the best gripdstones for carpenter
tools and the best whetstones for universal USE being
both sharp and tine.
In the Lake Huron region there excellent beds
of rock for grinds;ones of very superior quality Yet
it appears that, with the exception of the lew tha'
come from Northern Ohio, our supply comes manly
from abroad. This is one Of the grindstone abuses.
1t is an abuse OF the good gifts provided abundanty
for our USE
Mr. RoBIysos also resd al amusing snd interesting
letter from correspondent who signs himself Crit
No doubt he is gritty fellow. IL IS quite evident
that be has had Lis 10 the grindsone when he

There are remin pleasant or pa niul, about

feel twinge in the back they read your late hu-
description of srlnd,to such as are lound
about too many homesteads" The following eN
tract from the letter contains useful hint. We ad-
wise its general adoption wherever there s poor
devil that don't own grindstone:
"No. long since a respectable, wel-.odo Jersey
