SHoE1NG HORSES THAT OVER. REACH

SHoEING HORSES THAT OVER REACH
But few blacksmiths seem willing to learn
anything new about horse shoeing, or will
admit that there is any need of it. But
while they know no better plan of remedying
over-reaching than making the shoe shorter,
aud placing the forward one on the toe and
the hinder one on the heel of the horse, they
need to understand that there is better way
and the horse owners should make them
practice it. f. L. Gibbs directs as follows
in the Ohio Caltivator:
"Make the forward shoe long, and toe.
calks short and standing little under, and
then set them as far back as convenient, in
order to let the feet roll over as soon as pos.
sible to get out of the way. And in setting
the shoes on the hind feet reverse the order
to keep them back, to give time for the for
ward feet to get out of the way. Make the
toe-calks high and the heel-calkslow, tokeep
the feet back, and then he will travel like
other horses. This may be remedied in part
in the mode of pairing the hoof. This is
essential in all cases, and where too many
horses have been made cripples."

TAKING A BATH.

The other morning there might have been
seen in the Sycamore street two young b'hoys
from the country, inteutly gazing at sign
in front of we'll known bathing establish
ment which reads thus, warm, cold, and
salt baths After sundry significant looks
at each other, and the saloon, they both post
ed in.
tLook here, landlord said one, cant you
give warm one 'atween us?-after that if
it suits we'll take another
Certainly, replied the polite keeper, who
retired Immediately to prepare the bath.
'All ready exclaimed the proprietor, as
he came out of the room.
The customers entered together, and the
door was closed after them. After waiting
rather an unusal length of time, and hearing
nothing like bathing operations going on, the
keeper applied his eyes to the key-hole to
see how they were occupying themselves
To his amusement they were standing beside
the tub, occasionally dipping their fingers
into the water and applying them to their
tongues, accompanied with searching glances
at each other, and the tub in PARTICULAR
After occupying themselves in this manner
for some time, with visible signs of growing
impatience, one of them tapped loudly at the
door. The keeper obeyed the summons and
entered the room
'Look here,' eagerly enquiring one, 'ain't
it pretty near ready?'
why, yes, there it is, said the man point
ing to the tub.
by golly, you don't calculate we two are
going to eat all that broth do you9'

This is bath house, rejoined the keep

PROTECTION OF PLANTS FROM INSECTS.
In the January number of the Gar7ncr's
Monthly, is an article from the pen of DR..
Uhler, with extracts from articles of NJ. Ras-
pals, "on the protection of plants from in
sects, by the use of aloe." On reading said
article, I thought I would give the ales trial
on some plants that we happen to have, and
amongst them some Anne Boleyn Pinks that
were badly infested with the aphis or green
fly. 1 dissolved half an ounce of alooss in
two gallons of water, and sprinkled the plants
lightly with the solution. The fly disliked
the application most decidedly; numbers
of them dropping off daily. The plants were
allowed to stand three days, they were then
syringed with water quite sharply, which car
ried them all off. The experiment was tried
about the last of February; since then not a
single aphis has made its appearance on the
Pinks. Some Rose Germaniums that were
experimental on at the same time, have had
few of the aphides on them for about a
week, but they do not seem to increase as
fast since the application as before. The
red spider donot seem to mind it so much as
the aphis. The scale bug evidently dislikes
it, and according to M. Raspails, it is quite
disagreeable to the woolly.coated plant louise,
(woolly aphis, y or, as gardners call it, 'smealy
bug"
Who knows but we may make the young
turnip leaves disagreeable, by the use of
aloes.-C. S. NJ, in Homestead.

GAVE EN- F1Ts.-Mr. Cox, of Portland
Maine, is a very apt manager, especially
at prayer-meetings. 1t sometimes happens,
Sunday evening, that his meetings draw to-
gether few rowdies, who do not 90 there
to pray or to be prayed for. A few evenings
since, some young fellows, forgetting their
good manners, were rather noisy, and moi
so attentive to the services as they ought to
be. DR.. Cox thus addressed them:
Young gentlemen said he; then, stop
ping few moments, he continued, Idon't
know as I ought to call you gentlemen, fol
your conduct here this evening does not mer'
it that title. And yet I may be doing you
injustice, as another clergyman did on ga,
other occasion. Having reprimanded q
young man for disturbing his meeting, be
met the father of the young man the next
day, who told the pastor he had done wrong
in reprimanding his son.
why so p asked the pastor; surely, your
son was noisy and disturbed the meeting
Very likely replied the father; 'but he
was not accountable for such conduct
sHow is that? p demanded the pastor.
sMy son has fts,' replied the father.
sAnd now,' said DR.. Cox, i don't know,
young gentlemen, but you may be troubled
with fits. If so, I will not reprimand you
but ask you to leave

farmer's 9epartment,
WASTEFUL FARMERS,

Perhapsin nothing are farmers more waste
full than in the management, or rather want
of management, in their manure. Should
one have his granary robbed every week or
so of fifteen or twenty dollars worth of grain,
he would make great fuss about it, and
probably offer liberal reward for the detec-
tion of the thief; yet this same man will al
low his manure to lie spread over his cattle
yard, exposed to the bleaching rains of spring
which frequently carry more than the above
amount of the elements of crops contained in
his manure forever beyond his reach-and
he allows this waste to occur year after year,
as if it was no sort of consequence to him.
If this practice was true only of the owners
of prairie soil, the case would be different;
but it is to be seen in parts of the country
where manure is most needed, yea, where its
preservation and economy in its use are Of
the utmost Importance to the success Of the
farmer. Farmers have been told of this
thing so often through our agricultural press,
that one would think it no longer to be reit-
Grated. Why is this? Has the subject be-
come to them such hackneyed one that
they no longer give attention to it, or do they
mostly belong to the class who take no paper
devoted to the interests of their calling2-
The voice of the agricultural press has for
half century been raised against this waste
of manure, as well as against the skinning
process of cultivation so universally practiced
in many parts of our country. Their empty
barns and granaries should appeal to them
in way not to be misunderstood! Their
fields, so barren looking, all overrun with sor-
rel, should reprove them for such derelic-
tion of duty they owe to their children and
to their country, as we'll as to themselves
But farmers waste also in the application of
manure-putting it on ground that needs
draining, when half the value of the manure
expended in draining would produce almost
infinitely better results. Again, they will
lavish it on the fields already rich, while
they have others suffering for the want of it.
But it seems impossible almost to change the
course of many, however prejudicial to their
interests that course may be.
