THE CALIFORNIAN n.
ShOeing Horses.

Russell Jarvis said horse was of but
little value no matte. what were his other
good qualities, if his feet were bad. He said
many horses were spoiled while quite young
by bad shoeng. Many considered the black
smith who pu, on the heaviest shoes, with
the largest nails, so that they would stay on
the longest, the best. He thought horse
should not be shod at all until four or h>e
wears old. or until their feet were we'll formed
and grown in proper shape, and then in such
way as to keep the hoof as near its natural
shane as possible. He had horse eight
wears old that never had shoe on, and he
had no trouble with brittle or sore feet. Ma
ture adapted them to what was required.
His custom was not to shoe his horses until
their feet had chance to expand into proper
shape, and they were not troubled with bad
feet
o. J. Brown thought Mr.. Jarvis was cor
rect in his ideas Of shoeing horses If youns
horses were shod properly, and their shoes
set often enough, he did not think their feet
need be injured. Many men did not want
the heels pared down so as to let the frog OF
the foot to the ground. This was sad mis-
take. When the frog was in a soft and
healthy state, it would not be injured by con-
tact with the ground, bet if suffered to be-
come dry and hard it would cripple the horse
and produce lameness. Horses feet should
be so pared as to leave them in as nearly the
natural state as possible, instead of pairing
the toes, as most shoers do, and leaving the
heels to grow. When this latter course is
followed by shoers, horses stand upon their
toes in an unnatural and straining position.
When the heel is suffered to grow down the
frog is kept from the ground, and it dries up,
becomes hard, and the heel grows narrow and
pinched, and after while lameness ensues !;
but when the frog comes TO the ground natu-
rally it is kept moist, soft, and in a healthy
condition, and horse will never cripple on
the hardest ground. He never wanted the
frog touched by the shoer's knife. When
left in its natural state it retained moisture,
and kept the whole foot in a healthy condi-
ton. He always had opposed the use Of
spring-heeled Shoes as injurious to the foot.
The shoe should be always Of the same thick
ness at the toe and at the heel. When the
foot is properly pared, the shoe should be
made to fit the foot so perfectly that the out
side crust of the hoof will not need to be cut
down to fit the shoe; nor should the hoof be
rasped or filed above the clinches. He said
he believed more horses were injured and
made lame by bad shoeing than in any other
Way.

A Story that will Apply to this Latitude

The price of the Free Press is two dol!
lars year. We make discount from that
price of twenty-five cents for cash in advance.
II dint suppose it would make any diff
ference" is the answer Of almost every one
who co mes into printing office to pay for
his newspaper, two, four, six or eight weeks
after the su description year commenced, and
then is required to pry the advertised prize
1t is true that che $500 would not make
much difference, but when unfortunately
there are five hundred men who think So
Of whom You, delinquent subscriber, are
one-one thousand dollars makes good
deal of difference.
"Wel havn't been in town, before, or
would have come and paid, so you ought to
let me have the paper at the advance price.
The mail carrier has been in town every
day, and surely it takes no more time for
you to enclose the money due, with your
name and address, in letter, than to come
into printing office and spend fifteen min
utes trying to induce the publisher not to do
what he has said he means to do, viz: charge
$500 on all subscriptions not paid strictly
in advance"
Some seem to consider it a personal affront
if the publisher vii! not make for them ar
exception to rule, the general justice o.
which they admit-an exception for no reason
but that it was not quite convenient for them
to walk into the office before!
"But you didn't use to make any differ
ence if didn't co ne and pay just at the be-
ginning of the year." No, We didn't; VI
advertised that we shouldn't. Now, we ad
vertise that We shall. The money absolutely
in advance,-that is, before single copy O
the paper is sent,-is the only true, safe, ant
really satisfactory way, for both publisher
and subscriber Burlington Free Press.
