Over-reaching horses may be cured by
pairing the heel of the forward foot low,
and the toe of the hind foot low. This
causes the horse as he moves forward to
raise the forward foot quicker, and allows
the hind foot to remain longer, so that
before the hind foot comes forward the
fore foot is out of the way. Also make
the forward shoe long. If this reasoning
is not plain, let any one try the expert
ment, and he will be satisfied.

his blood is preserved for the use of the

the hoofs are cut off for combs and var

portion of the feet goes to the glue
maker; the skin is stripped off for the
tanner, who converts it into excellent
leather for boots, harness, etc, and the

REPTILES IN IRELAND The story of St.
Patrick's expulsion of venomous reptiles
from Ireland is known to every one. Some
writer's have supposed that the tradition
should be interpreted in metaphorical
sense, and that the worship of demons or
Of serpents was abolished by the saint. In
any case, the fact that the island was free
from these creatures is mentioned by sew
eral early historians, and native bishop
says, in Latin poem of the ninth century,
that in Ireland mo serpent creeps through
the grass, and no frog chatters iH the
lakes" This latter phenomenon remain
ed true till the early part of the eight
zenith century, when Fellow of Trinity
College, Dublin, imported some frog-spawn
from England, and placed it in the bitches.
Since then, frogs have spread over the
country. Several attempts have also been
made to introdsce.yipers and other snakes
but apparently they have not survived
long. A species of lizard, however, is
said to be found in Ireland. The island
Of Malta claims similar immunity from
reptiles.
