How To FAsTEN Cows.-Stanchions
should be abolished as cruelty to animals.
Cows aud oxen, thus fastened, have no
opportunity of relieving themselves from
their close, cramped position. A much
more comfortable and safe fastening is the
ring aud chain cattle.tie. The ring slides
up and down post, firmly founded in the
floor Of the stable, aud let into the beam
or joist above. The chain is fastened
around the animals neck by passing q
cross.bar through ring; and by passing
it through two or three of the rings, it is
impossible that the chain can come un.
fastened. A spring snap hook may be
used in addition, which will add another
perfect fastening, if desired. With this
fastening COW can lie down in a natural
position, and, while sleeping, can turn her
head over toward her shoulder, as she will
almost always do. The writer has used
them for many years for cows, oxen and
bulls without any accident, and with great
satisfaction. Made of steel, they are light
cheap, secure aud comfortable.

RUNNING THE HEELS OF SHOES 0vEI

RUNNING THE HEELS OF SHOES OVER.
Most persons assume that when one runs
his boots or shoes over, he has crooked feet /;
which is exceedingly erroneous. The diff.
ficulty is not in the form of ones feed feet
in the incorrect shape of the lasts on
which the boots or shoes are made. A
writer in an exchange states that curious
observer has discovered that men and boys
invariably run the heels of their boots and
shoes over outwardly, while women and
girls always run theirs over iuwardly. Out
Of one hundred and forty seven men aud
boys that passed the observer at given
point this fact was true in every instance /;
aud out of sixty.seven women that passed,
it was true in every instance but one.
The foregoing observation proves moth
ing except that the boots and shoes Of men
and boys are made over lasts more crooked
than their feet; hence they run their boots
and shoes over outwardly. On the con.
trary, the shoes for females were not made
as crooked as the soes should be; hence
they run their shoes over inwardly. Every
person should procure pair Of lasts OF
the same form as his or her feet; and, If
their boots or shoes be made over this, the
heels will not run over either outwardly or
inwardly.
If one has pair of lasts which do not
correspond exactly with the form Of his
feet, stand with one foot on piece of pa.
per, and mark around the most prominent
parts; after which, let the shoemaker
fastcn a piece or two of thick sole leather
to either side of the heel or to any other
part, as the form of the last may require
When person wears off the inside Of the
forward part of his shoes or boots more
than the outside, the last should have O
thick piece of leather pcgged to the inside
while portion Of the wood on the oppo
site should be shaved off. BY giving the
lasts more conformity to The shape of the
feet, boots will fit more agreeably, and the
soles will wear evenly.

"a Not great while ago, we noticed
young fellow worried because staple
came out of barn door. He had driven
wood into the old hole, plugged it as peo-
pie say, but wood and staple came out.
Studying a moment, be threw away the
wooden plug, and rammed tightly 10 some
narrow strips Of cork. He then drove in
the staple. which has never drawn out
since. An idea like this is almost worth
. patent, and yet any one may be educated
to apply similar good sense in common
emergencies.
