HORSE SHoEING.-No person should ever
allow his horse to be shod by farrier who
employs, or keeps in his shop, the knife
used for cutting away the hoof, shaped like
small shovel, and usually braced against
the shoulder when used in shoveling away
the horn. The Almighty designed the frog
as an elastic, insensable cushion, on which
the horse should walk, as does the fowl and
other animals; yet blacksmiths delight in
cutting away this most useful part, and
thereby expose that which is sensible to
contact with the hard road. No greater
folly can be immagined, and to a reasonable
man j. only requires to be noticed to make
the error selfapparent. The blacksmith
VIII argue that he must ''cut away the rags, "
and some are so ignorant as to declare they
cut away the frog Ito prevent pressure on
1t, that is to say, they cut it away to pre-.
vent the very object of its creation. The
frog should never be cut, or any portion
if allowed to take its natural course it be-
comes perfect safety stand and protection
to the foot. In colts the frog may be seen
in its full vigor and usefulness but at the
first shoeing the knife goes to work, and SO
1t continues whilst there is any frog to cut.

CARD THE Cows.-One would think that
akind hearted man, when he sees how
grateful this operation is to a COW, would
be willing 10 spend few moments in card
ing her. 1t pays as we'll to clean COW as a
horse. All who have fairly tried it find
great benefit from the operation. And not
one farmer in hundred makes it a practice
to use the card or curry comb in the COW
stable. We know stupid men who laugh at
the idea as mere notion of some fancy
farmer. But, in point of fact, no COW can
give the best results at the pail unles this
matter is attended TO, especially in winter.

PRUNING the first OF March
and the first of May is period during
which great deal of heavy pruning is done
in the orchards of New England. Univer-
sal custom, however, in this respect, as
sometimes elsewhere. is at variance with
what is the best practice for it is well es
rablished theory that none but absolutely
necessary pruning ought to be undertaken
so late toward or into the spring that
wounds made thereby will bleed. This
bleeding exhausts the energies of tree,
and the wounds where it takes place rarely
heal over satisfactorily. A penknife Is
strong enough for any pruning where trees
are properly cared for. Heavy pruning,
made necessary by neglect, as is too often
the case may be best performed--all con-
sidered-during the six weeks preceding
December but cautiously always when
the wood is frozen. Light pruning is most
satisfactory in its results when done in the
latter part of June. The heading in of a
tree transplanted in the spring is justi6able
because the diminished root of the tree can
not always sustain the quantity of wood
which it could have sustained had the tree
not been removed. Wounds of an inch or
more in diameter made in pruning ought to
be pared smooth, and then covered with
something to protect them from the wealth
er. Gum shellac dissolved in alcohol to the
consistency of molasses, coal tar, grating
wax, common house paint, all answer a
good purpose, the latter perhaps being
preferable to any of the others. Where
paint is used, by throwing little dry sand
Or loan upon it while fresh, the coating and
its color are both Improved Worcester Spy.

OBITUARY.
Sol. Smith.

Sol. Smith, the celebrated actor, manager,
and humorst, died on Sunday morning. at st.
Louis, OF congestion OF the brain. Mr.. Smith
was born In Oswego county, New York, in 1901,
and he was consequently slxty-eight years OF
age at the time of his death. When about
fourteen years OF age he first saw theatrical
performance, and Immediately was struck with
the ''stage fever" He commenced to learn the
the trade of a printer. but his PROPOSE sion for
theatricals such that at the first opportunity
he Joined strolling company, and for thirty
years he travelled about, principally In
tho South and West, figuring ao or and
manager, and occasionally varying his expe-
rience by editing newspaper. Mr.. mith was
q rare bumorist. and during his theatrical
career he was one Of the most popular men in
the profession. He was a gentleman by In
stinct. and ss man OF fine perceptions and
feelings he won the esteem of all who became
personally acquainted with him. Mr.. Smith
was retired from the stage for so many year
that he was unknown as an actor by the pre-
sent generation, but In a couple OF little books,
published several years ago, he perpetuated
some OF the many ludicrous adventures that
befell him in the course of his long and
honorable career as an actor and manager, aud
recently he combined these sketches with
other "Reminiscences, and published them as a
complete autobiography. In this work, while
sh0 aubhoA lhaao no prekenbe OF 64tenuaJlnS his
own shortcomings he exhibited himself In the
light OF a warm hearted and generous man, a
tender husband and father, aud a9 affec.
tOnate brother. His views on the stage
and his advice to the mem bers of the theatrical
profession aIe candid, earnest, judlcious, and
well worthy of respectful consideration. Mr.
Smith was not q rich man, but he managed to
collect sufficient means to support him in COM
fort In his old age. Mr.. Mark Smith, an actor
ofsome reputation, who Is now one of the lead
ing members OF Edwin Booths company In
New York, is, we believe, the only one of Sol
Smiths children who has adopted the stage as

therefore, In our maturer years be ever faithful

and as rise in the worlds favor let us elevate
her and show that VIC all OF us ara her true and
worthy sons.
The valedictory address concluded the exer.
cises II was spoken with a beauty and pre- 3ise-
ness Of delivery which did credit to the Judg-
ment Of the professors in their selection OF the
speaker.
The front of the stage was ornamented with
two immeDs collections OF bouquets cOntri.
buttons from friends OF the graduates and other
scholars At the conclusion OF the exercises
the large audience dispersed, all evidently
well pleased with the success with which their
different friends among the scholars had
acquitted themselves.
