How Horses should be shod.

A recent issue of the american STOCK
Journal contains valuable article on this
subject
Young horses, the writer says, If shod at
all before five years old, should have their
shoes taken off and reset once in three or
four weeks. The hoof should be pared at
the heel, so that the frog may come to the
ground. This keeps the frog moist and
healthy, and has tendency to spread the
heel and keep the foot in its natural shape.
The soft and healthy frog acts as cushion,
and saves the foot from damage while the
animal travels upon hard roads. It also
keeps the foot in a healthy state, and is
therefore of great importance to the value
of the horse. If the heel is suffered to grow
down, the frog becomes dry and bony,
and when it comes in contact with a stone
or other hard substance, the horse cripples,
and subsequently becomes lame. When the
hoof grows down long at the heel. it be-
comes dry and contracted, and the horse
stands upon the toes in an unnatural and
strainiug position. The frog, however rag
ged. should not be touched by the shoer's
knife. To avoid raising the heel so that
the foot must come to the ground in an un-
natural position, the shoe should be of the
same thickness at the toe as at the heel.
When the foot is properly pared, the shoe
should be made to fit so perfectly that the
outside crust of the hoof will not have to
be cut down to fit the shoe. The shoe should
not be opened at the heel wider than the
hoof. as this has tendency to crowd in and
contract the foot at this point; but if the out
side of the shoe is brought in even with the
outside of the hoof, it has the opposite eff
feet. The hoof should never be rasped or
fled above the clinches, nor the natural en-
amel, which is given to it for some wise
purpose, disturbed. Fancy shoers-from
all of whom good Lord deliver us ARE too
much in the practice of rasping, fling, and
sand-papering the hoof to make it look nice,
without ever thinking that they are doing
it an injury that is beyond their power to
repair.

When and How to Bud.

Budding, we need hardly say, is the pro-
cess of removing bud from one variety
of tree or plant, and inserting it in another.
The object in budding is the same as in
grating, viz: to propagate desirable sort
of tree. The cion used in grating is only
a development of the bud used in budding.
Fruit can generally be got by grating soon
er than by budding. But when variety
is very scarce, we can by budding get new
limbs from single eyes; whereas, in graft
ing we have to use several eyes. The stone
fruits exude so much gum in the spring in
northern climates, that it is hard to make
gratis take. In all kinds of fruit, where
grating has failed or been neglected in the
Spring, budding may be resorted TO in the
Summer.
The ordinary season for this work is
from the first of July to the middle of
August. But a more accurate criterion is
the state of the buds and the bark. The
shoot from which the buds are taken, must
be of the current years growth, and must
be mature. This maturity will be shown
by the forming of buds at the axis of the
leaves, and of the terminal bud. The best
buds for working will be found along the
middle of the'shoot. Many circumstances
affect the condition of the buds and bark /,
and those sorts which come earliest into
condition for budding must be first attend
ed to, and of course others in succession.
On some stocks and in some soils plums
mature first, in others pears. Cherries may
often be budded on Mahalsb stocks as late
as Oct. LIST. The bark must be in a condi
tion to lift easily from the wood, and there
must be sap enough between the two to
feed the young bud, and to help form a
union with it. There must, also, be a GER
tain degree of affinity between the bud and
the stock. The pear. ounce, apple, crab,
and mountain ash, belonging TO the same
family, may be budded or grated on each
other. So with the apricot, plum, necta-
Tine and peach. Currants and gooseberries
may be worked on each other, and one sort
of cherry on another. The practical oper-
alton of budding is simple. The method
most commonly followed in this country is
called Shield Budding, and is as follows !:
Having cut a cion containing the desired
buds, choose smooth, young stem, for the
operation; and, if possible. let the insertion
be made on the north side of it. With a
sharp, thin-bladed knife, cut slit through
he bark about an inch to an inch and a

Qulnsy in Hogs.

A correspondent of the american Stock
Journal writes thus concerning disease
somewhat prevalent among swine in the
West:
In your last issue you publish an account
of a disease prevailing among hogs in Iowa
and Illinois, called Quinsy. From the de-
scription given of the disease, it is what we
call the sore throat The best remedy is to
open the pores or holes on the inside of the
fore legs, by rubbing them with something
rough; or take the point of a pocket-knife
blade and open the hole-then rub them, SO
as to roughen the skin; grease well with
lard. The above will generally cure them,
but if the case is bad one, after you have
rubbed as above directed, put large seton 4
above the knee, on each leg. 1 have tried
experiments on several cases, and it has
never failed.
The cause of the quinsy is corn-feeding.
A hog fed on oats will not be troubled with
it. Small quantities of gunpowder given to
hogs frequently, will, believe, prevent it.
But my advice to all persons breeding hogs,
is, never to feed old sows which are breed
ing stock, or pigs, any corn, as corn will
kill large hog when fed too much. Hogs
in this section of country always thrive bet
ter and grow larger, when fed on oats than
when fed on corn.
