Corns in Horses-"No Foot
No Horse"

A horse the subject Of corns is expected to
have defective feet, hence the above quotation
is true as gospel"
That peculiar disease occurring within the
inner quarter of the fore feet of horses, known
as corn, is a very different affection from that
peculiar to the feet of man. In horses, corn
is neither more nor less than extravasation,
which signifes-escape of blood from its
proper vessels into the surrounding tissues
of the part. This extravasated or escaped
blood, finally coagulates and creates black
spot, known as the "eorn-spot :" this is ex-
posed on pairing the sole at its inner quarter
All blood which escapes in this way becomes
as foreign body, yet in some parts of the
system, where the absorbent vessels are very
numerous and active, the foreign deposit is
soon removed by the ordinary process of alb
sorption; but within the dense tissues of a
horses foot this process is tardy, sometimes
impossible, consequently, matter or pus is
generated between the sensitive and non-sen-
sitlve parts, and a passage must finally be
created for the liberation of the imprisoned
matter; for 1t cannot escape through the
dense structure composing the hoof itself
hence it burrows and migratcs in various di-
rections from the sole and lastly creates an
outlet at the inner and upper part of the
hoof, where the matter escapes.
TREATMENT OF CoRN.-The only chance of
relieving the animal is to remove the shoe
and apply one having slight concayity at
the former seat of pressure; or if the animal
has prominent frog, the bar shoe can be
attached previous to doing so, however,
the corn spot may be slightly pared, and
whenever there appears to be any pressure
on the sole, at the quarters, the shoe must
be removed and adapted as above. The the
ory, therefore, in the treatment of corn, is
TO sccure vacancy between the heal and the
shoe,
If the horse happens to be ''dcad lame"
and tenderness and swelling are observed at
the upper part Of the hoof, the part may then
he punctHred with lancet, after squeezing
out the imprisoned matter the part should
he dressed, daily, with fir halsam In some
cases of suppurated corn the matter must be
liberated, by making an opening through
the sole at the inner quarter this is also to
bc dressed with fir balsam the shoe to re-
main off for few DAYS

THE ExprRAxcE OF HORSES Some curious
experiments have been made at the Veterin-
ary school at Abort by order Of the Minister
of War, to ascertain the endurance of horses,
as in bcsieged town, for example 1t ap-
pears that horse will live on water alone
five and twenty days; seventeen days without
eating or drinking only five days if e fed but at
watercd A horse kept without water for
three days drank l04 pounds of water in
three minutes. 1t was found too, that n
horse taken after Icing fed and kept in the
active exercise of the squadron school, COM
pletcly digested its "feed" in three hours
in the same time at the ''conscript's school, y
its food was two-thirds digested; and if kept
perfectly quiet in stable, digestion was
scarcely commenced i'll three hours,

Managing and Feeding work
ing Oxen.

Oxen working on a stnne-drag, on the foot
Of plow, on the Sled tongue, cart spire, or
tMltchng stones or timber. should carry
their heads up, as this enables them to do
this work much easier those that work a,
leaders, forward of other oxen. should carry
their heads low, and have the yoke the right
length let the bows suit the neck the yoke
and bows to the leaders should set little
-nuggcr than the nib oxen. Never use the
whip but from necessity. When about tn
strike the young steer or OK. ask yourself,
"Will he know what strike him for? Let
each OK have a name, and he sure he knows
his name Never speak word 10 an OK
without meaning have a particular word to
start your team by, that all may pull togeth-
er Never hurry your team while riding be
hind them, lest they learn to haul apart
Oxen should he shod with a broad shoe, to
travel on hard roads the shoe on the fore
foot should set back at the heel nearly half
an inch further than the hoof bears upon it,.
Oxen are frequently lame by reason of short
shoes. The best feed for oxen at hard work
is to give to each two quarts of meal, wet
mixed with good chopped hay, three times a
day, and as much hay AS he will eat this is
the highest feed working oxen ought to have,
and on this they will work every y Yam

INFLUENCE OF AGRICULTURAL PArrHs.-The
Rev. Mr.. Choules in an address delivered
some ycurs since, before tho American lntti.
tute, said
/" lie once undertook to tell, in passing
through town, what farmers took agricul-
tural papers, from the appearance Of their
farms, and missed but once in thirteen
times.
al was lately in the company Of son Of q
bank president-a young man accomplished
in his way-who inquired what neat cattle
meant, and how many years it took ~heaf to
come to maturity. ] earnestly believe that
agricultural papers, generally circulated in
our cities, would b. productive of the great

FALLFN GREATNEss.-The Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburg PD Journal
tells the following anecdotc, at the expense
of X. J. Walker.
You are aware that, by the rules of the
House adopted last session no one is admitted
on the floor of the hail unless he is member
or a Senator; still now that there is no Speaker
and virtually no rules, nany persons contrve
to smugelc themselves iii, and busy them
selves in clcctoncering. Yesterday, while
standing near the main entrance to the hall
a small, nervous, and somewhat shabby in
diydual, walked up to the door and en-
leavorcd to enter without even the ceremony
of asking leave, when the following colloquy
ensued
Doorkccper-IIold on there are you a
member, Senator, OF officer of the House.
Small Man-No; am an ex-senator.
Doorkceper-Ex- Senator'S are not admitted
Small Man-But am an cx-Sccrctary of

Doorkeepcr-Can't help it, but you have
no right to go in.
Small Man -(excitedly) dly)-Confound it,

Doorkeeper, (midly, but frmly)-But

Small Man, (sayasely)-Well,s ,sir, take my

in style of great Indignation. Mr. -

My Dream.

By JOHN G. WHITTIER.
In my dream methought l trod
fester night, a mountain road;
Narrow as AL Straits span,
High as Eagles flight it ran.
Overhead, a roof of cloud
With its weight of thunder bowed
Underneath. to left and right,
Blaekness and abysmal night.
Here and there a wild flower blushed
Now and then bird-song gushed;
Now and then through riffs and shade,
Stars shone and sunbeams played.
But the goodly company,
Walking in that path with me,
One By one the brink o erslid,
One by one the darkness hid.
Some with wailing and lament,
Some with cheerful courage went;
But of all who smiled or mourncd,
Never one to US returned.
Anxously, with eye and ear.
Questioning that shadow drear,
Neves hand III token stirred.
Never answering voice heard
Sleeper, darker l-lo felt
From my feet the pathway melt,
Swallowed by the black despair,
And the hungry jaws OF air.
Past the stony -throated caves.
Strangled by the wash Of waves
Past the splintcrcd crags sanS,
On green and tiowry bank
Soft as a fall of thistle down,
I.igt tly A. a cloud is blown,
Soothlngly as childhood pressed
To the bosom of its rest.
OF the sharp horned rocks instead,
Green and grassy carpets spread,
Bright with waters, singing by
Trees that propped n golden SKY.
Painless, trustful, SORROW free,
Old lost faCee welcomed me,
with whose sweetness Of content
still expcstant hope was blent.
Slowly brngcth into day,
fondcrng on that VISION fed,
Thus unto myself | said
i" Steep and hung with clouds Of strife,
l. our narrow path uf lite;
And our death the dreaded fail
Through the dark, awaiting all.
" So with painful steps We climb
Up the dizzy waNs OF time,
Ever Ia The shadow she'd
BY tie forecast OF our dread.
:" Dread Of mystery, solved alone
In the untricd and unknown
Yet the end thereof may seem
Like the falling OF my dream.
Z" And thi, heart consuming care,
All our fear, ef here and there,
Cham. and nhscncc, los and death,
Prove but simple lack OF faith.
Thou, o, Most Compassionate
W no dId,t >toop to o'sr estate,
Drinking Of the cup We drain.
Ireading IN our path Of pain
Through the doubt and mystery,
Grant us thy steps 10 see.
And the grace 10 draw from thence
Larger hopes and confidence.
Show thy vacant tomb and let,

BEANS AND INDIAN Corn roR MrLcH Cows.
X. Ii. Brown, of Greece, informs us that he
fed his cows, early this spring, with three
pints each per day of Indian corn and white
beans, ground together in equal parts. He
never had his cows do so well on any other
food they gave large quantity of milk,
and the calves were the finest he ever raised.
This food gave the cows a good start, and
they continued in good condition during tho
summer, and afforded an unusual quantity
Of milk. He says he shall sell no more beans,
but feed them to his COWS.
