Hoes IN ORCHARDs.AMr. II. n.
Langworthy holds this sensible Ian
guage in relation to a subject which
has generally met with the approval
of farmers, viz : allowing hogs to run
at large in the orchards in the fall of
the year, with the view of dcvouring
the wormy fruit, aud thus diminishing
the depredations of the worms.
Iregard hogs in an apple or pear
orchard as a nuisance. | supposed
them a benefit some years ago, because
| thought that they would destroy
these worms or caterpillars, which
prey upon the fruit-that as soon as
the apple, fell to the ground, its de-
struction by the hog would insure the
destruction of the larvae which pro-
duces this insect. | refer to the in
sects which are about this time laying
= their eggs in the blossom end of the
young fruit, and whose larvae burrow
into the apples, making their way
from the eye to the core. And l hoped
by keeping hogs in my orchard, even
tually to secure perfect fruit But |
do not find that the proportion of in
jured fruit diminishes +; and | am sat
isfed that the insect leaves the apple
before it falls, and enters the crevises
in the bark, and the hogs rarely get
hold of it.

DENIES THE CHARGE.-An officer in
Sheman's army thus denies the charge
that the unfortunate termination of Nc
Cook raid was due to the drunkardness
of the men:
If the result of an expedition which
destroyed seven miles of two different
railroads, the same length of telegraph
wire, burned over one thousand valuable
quartermaster and commissary wagons,
destroying their teams, killed and wound
cd by their own showing nine hundred,,of
the enemy, and finally after hard fighting
for several hours against twice its num-
Der, Of both infantry and cavalry, cut its
way through and came home, crossing an
untordable river, with but small loss of
life in comparison to which it inflicted,
can be called disastrous, it may be some
consolation to those whom Gen. McCook S
reputation is dear, or who had friends
under his leadership, to know that Gen,
Sherman differs radically.:from those that
think so. As to the whiskey question, /
know from personal knowledge, that the
heads were immediately knocked out of the
small number of barrels taken, and the
whiskey poured out, and this was at Fa-
yetteville, two days before the fight"

Che .farnisr's department,
Contraction of Horses Feet.


Mr.. Jennings, late Professor of An
atomy in the Veterinary College of
Philadelphia, We regard as one of our
most intelligent and skillful veterina-
ry surgeons, and entitled to great con-
fidence in his profession. He has
written much and well for the differ
cnt journals, on the diseases of ami
mails; and the following article on
the g Contraction Of the Feet of Hor-
ses, strikes us as a very clear and
satisfactory statement of its cause and
remedy, and deserving of attention.
The tendency of a horses feet, in
a healthy condition, to expand when
ever the weight of the body is thrown
upon them. Being very complica-
ted piece of mechanism, they are very
easily disarranged, and once out of
order are difficult to repair hence
the necessity of preserving them in a
sound condition.
CONTRACTION IS CAUsED-1st, By
cutting away the bars of the feet,
which are the main stays for the sup
port of the quarters. I'd, BY (open-
ing the heels as the smith calls it., cut
ting away portion of the frog, in
consequence of which the moisture of
the frog becomes absorbed, losing its
elasticity, and destroying its func-
ton, thus exposing the feet to injury,
by concussion. Sd, BY standing up
on plank floors. 4th,. By improper
shoeing.
An ordinary observer will, upon
examination of the common shoe,
notice that it inchnes from without in
wards at the heels, thus forming a
concavity for the feet to rest in; the
consequence is a lateral resistance to
the expansion Of the hoofs, when the
weight of the animal is thrown upon
them. The effects Of this resistance
is to force the heels together, crea-
ting pressure upon the sensitive parts
within the horny case; establishing
fever by which the moisture of the
hoofs are rapidly absorbed rendering
the hoofs hard, brittle and liable to
crack, and not unfrequently causing
corns, navicular joint lamencss, bony
deposits to be thrown out from the lat
cral wings or processes of the coffin
bones, rendering the animal perma-
nently lame or unsound. These are.
but few of the bad effects arising from
contractisn; enough, however, to serve
our purpose at present.
REMEDY.-Prcserve a level bear
ing by making the shoes perfectly fiat
on the quarters, so as not to interfere
with the expansion of the feet. Should
contraction already exist to consider
able extent, bevel the shoes slightly
outward at the heels, in order to fa-
cilitate expansion. Care should be
used not to bevcl too much, or bulg-
ing at the lower part Of the hools at
the quarters will be the result. The
shoes should in = II cases be forged
and not twisted, as is sometimes done
to save trouble by the bungling smith.
Proper applications, to soften the hor-
ny parts and promote elasticity,
shonld also be used. Such prcpara-
tions are put up in the form of hoof
ointment.
