ShOeing Horses.

As the sHoeing Of horse is a necessary
evil, that las entailed upon him more pain
than any disease to which lie is subject,
would here take the opportunity Of advising
all those who wish 10 keep their horses feet
in a sound and healthy condition to spare
no pains IN employing men competent to do
tie work.
IN Offering few practical suggestions to
your readers, whereby much unnecessary
pain to the animal may lie obviated, we shall
first call their attention TO the important pro
cess Of parting the hoof. Here is a work Of
more labor than many horse owners imagine.
and from this fact the smith Will, if not
carefully watched, give himself as little
trouble as possible, and a portion of the
horn be permitted to accumulate month after

More Good than Bad

There is many a rest in the road of life
If we would only stop to take it;
And many a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it.
TO the soul that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er flileth,
The grass Is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through
When the ominOus clouds are rifted.
There never was night without day,
or an evening without q morning;
And the darkest hour, az the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer than the jeweled crown,
Orthe miser's hoard of treasure;
1t may be love Of a little child,
or a mothers prayer to heaven,
or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For n cup Of water given.
Better TO weave in the web Of life,
\ bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods VIII with a ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing;
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
or our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve and wonder.

MANAGEMENT Of SHEFr.-W Whatever plan is
adopted for a sheep barn, certain things are
Indispensable. 1t should stand on and be
surrounded by dry ground ; occupy an ele-
waited, airy position. blt one as little exposed
az possible to prevailing winter winds, be of
easy access to water, possess an ample ca
pacty for the number Of sheep to be Kept in
Il, and have means of thorough ventilation:
StrawinS or littering sheop-yards in winter
Is a matter of prime Importance. If sheep
are compelled to stand or move about in wa
ter, or mud, whenever cut of doors, the most
liberal feeding and good management in ev-
cry other particular Will hardly preserve
them in the best condition. v here sheep
are kept exclusively On hay in our Northern
States, the MerinO and grade Merino require
about one pound per diem, for every thirty
pounds of Their own live weight Salt and
sulphur should be fed as often as once Il
week. Regularity Of feeding Is one Of the
utmost importance All experienced flock
masters concur in the opinion that sheep fed
with perfect regularity as to time and amount,
will be better on rather inferior food, than
on the best, without that regularity.

To CURE CRACKS IN Cows TEATs.-We have
cured cows teats that are cracked, by
greasing them well with lard Mutton tai
low ard glycerine have been tried and failed
to effect cure, while pure lard has healed
up the cracks Immediately and made the teats
quite soft. Cows are very often troubled
with cracked teats, especially if they are al
lowed to 60 into low swampy ground and
muddy places, where they get their udders
covered with mud. 1t is very disagreeable
milking sore-teated COVE, as the animals are
apt to kick or step about while milking The
remedy il a very simple one, and as it is al
ways at hand in every family, 1t can be easily
tried
We have often seen cows completely dry,
simply from neglect in treating cracked teats
in the early stages Of the complaint. The
teats after awhile become so sore that the
cow was rendered vicious while milking, and
soon dried off her milk altogether. In an
other instance, a cracked teat, not attended
to, become inhamed, and, on account Of not
drawing out all the milk, resulted in a brOk-
en- bag. thus permanently spelling a very
valuable animal The udder and .eats should
be carefully examined at every milking, es-
pecially in bad weather, when inhammatiOns
from scratches or wounds are apt to run
high, while the DIFF. culty and trouble of
milking Will often induce hired help to neg
lcct drawing all the milk, which 80 increases
the trouble that the COW Is permanently in

you dig it out, and keep it out, you will
have no further trouble.
L have said it was total depravity. Here
it is. If you attempt to pull up and root
out any sin in you, which shows on the sur
lace,-if it does not show, you do not care
for it,-yOu may have noticed how it runs
into an interior network of sins, and an
ever Bprouting branch Of them roots some
where, and that you cannot pull out one
without making general internal disturb
ance, and roofing up your whole being. l
suppose it is less trouble to quietly cut them
off at the top,-so that no one will see them,

old house. For long years the pantry shelly
remained, scrubbed clean and white as
mother left them when we moved into the
new house but finally they and the upright
partition planks between the kitchen and
pantry had to yield to the sure course of
pulling to pieces the inside of the old for
saken domicil Indeed the partitions in the
chamber had all been torn out before | could
remember. In my early boyhood, when six
or eight years of age, recollect that this
chamber was used for the purpose of slowing
corn, which, recently husked, was spread out
on the ample floor to dry, before being put
into the cribs in the corn barn. Such skill
as l then gained in trapping squirrels and
mice which infested the chamber would not
shame those trappers catching larger game
about our northern and western lakes and
rivers. | often thought after | had been
reading the story of some Jack the Bearskin
\ Cap, or Kit Carson, that would surely use
my proficiency in trapping in those enticing
wilds when grew to be man, and see if |
could not be well enough known to be made
the hero of story. How many ambitions
like mine of those days have dissolved in
thin air just as mine passed into nothingness
when | grew older.
Under the old house was a wonderful cellar.
Not wonderful in size, for it was not more
than ten feet square and five feet deep, nor
did it have any walls but to my boyish
fancies a wonderful place stin. In newspa-
per stories | had read Of haunted cellars, Of
awful cellars, thus made because some dark
or. me had been committed there, or because
the body Of some murdered man had been
found in one. | do not know as l had
defined thought that there was the possibility
Of any such thing having been done in that
cellar, but as | would raise the trap-door in
the floor TO % down into it 70 get out the
potatoes put in there to use in fattening hogs
and bceves, sometimes felt a cold shudder
pass over me lest some terrible sight should
greet my vision. Nothing was there, how
ever, more formidable than huge rats which
had dug their holes deep into the yielding
sides Of the cellar, and tunne'ei out. like
our soldiers from Libby Prison, to the sur
face beyond The efforts OF my brother who
died years ago, and myself, TO dig them out
proved unsuccessful. And then we had to
sell the homestead the old l1s house and

Put on the COW a good leather head-halter
with several links Of chain in the ring and
a web sursingle with some links hanging
from the middle under the belly ending with
a ring. Make smooth ash pole as thick as
a hay fork handle, having little curve, with
2 snap at one end, which is secured to the
bit OF chain the halter. The other end
passes between her fore legs and through the
ring which is suspended from the sursiugle.
TIE pole should be long enough to allow her
TO extend her neck and head without pulling
it out Of the ring but as a further precau-
ton, strip of leather may be wound round
the lower end, and nailed 50 as to form a
slight knob too large to pass through the
ring. The harness does not interfere with
grazing, lying down or getting up, but she
cannot suck herself TIN
