down to Concord, and had seen the
Fakir of Ava perform his wonderful

Of the Conway House, and among
other things declared thai he had
gained an insight into many of magi-
clans manipulations, and that sever
al of the most wonderful tricks he
could perform himself
''For instance" said he, Il can

Tom took off his coat, and as he
threw it upon the ground one of the
cooks came out from the hotel with

the side of John Thomas.

A HINT TO OWNERS OF HORSES. A
paper devoted to the interests of farm
ers and horse-fanciers denounces the
custom of rasping down the hoofs of
horses. The editor says he has often
seen smith rasping down the hoofs, and
the owner of the horses standing by to
tell when it would suit him. This rasp-
ing on hoof that happens to be little
ill-shaped, until it will spring under
your fingers, is far too dangerous plan
to make things look well. Smiths have
often commenced ON boots that had a
beautiful gloss all over, and given them
thorough rasping; not that they could
make them any better, for that was be-
yond the power of human hands, but
they had to be rasped merely because
the owners mind was a slave to fashion
or fancy. This rasping takes the strong
surface off the hoof and nature trying
all she can to make up for the evil done
by injudicious hands, forms a hard
CLASSY surface to protect the foot This
CLASSY surface takes the place of the
previous tough horn, and at the next
shoeing the hoof will probably split a
little at the nails, and not unfrequently
the nail punches piece out before it.
