1t rs almost impossible to get n
horse shod without having the frogs
cut away. All veterinary surgeons,
Ill horse men, all leading black
smiths, agree that tho frog should
not bc pared one partIclo-not even
trimmed. No matter how pliablo
and soft the frog is, cut it away
smooth ON all sides, and in two days
it will be bright and hard as n chip.
You might as well cut off all the
leaves of trees and expect them to
flourish rs to pare away the frog and
have Il healthy foot. The rough,
sponSy part Of the frog is to the
foot what leaves arc to tho trees
the lungs.
Never have n red hot shoe put up-
on the foot to burn it level. If you
M find II blacksmith that is me-
chanic enough to level the foot with.
out rcd-hot iron, employ him. The
burning process deadens the hoor,
and tends to contract it. Ii you do
not think so, try the red-hot poker
ON your iinGer-naiI, and sec how il
will affect tho growth of that.
There are many other importants

all the rest, level to tho op%prchcn-

That all forms of mental and NOR
al disease are symptoms OF morbid
conditions Of tho brain, is now rs
well established as any fact Of
science, Tho elaborate researches
of Prof. Shraedar van der Kolk and
other European observers, have
shown most clearly that the brain Of
patients who die insane, idiotic, or
imbecilc, give evidence on micro
SCOPE examination, of diseased con-
ditions sufficient to account for all
Ito symptoms they may have eXhib'
tied. Insanity, being then a symp-
tom Of discasc of the brain, is not
found among the inferior species,
who have little on no nervous sys.
tenn, and only exceptionally among
the higher orders of animals, 1t Is
comparatively rare among tho wild
and ba barous tribes. AS would
logically be expected, its manifesto
tions are mostfrequent and most Sc
we're in civilized communities, and
among the intellectual or ruling
classes, insanity increases in iro-
qucncy and in violence with tho pro-
progress of civilization, and is, in
deed, II part Of the price that we pay
for intellectually and refinement. 1t
was never before so common as Mt
the present day and it appears to
be rapidly increasing and multiply
ing its phases, in direct proportion
to our progress in art, in science, IN
literature, in trade, in finance, and in
all the departments Of modern ac-
t.yity through which the brain is 20
constantly harossed and oycrwork-
ed. While We escape or recover

About Digging Potatoes.

In harvesting potatoes, different
plans arc observed by different per-
sons. by some they are dug quite
early, rs soon rs the tops are partial
ly declycd, and Immediately taken
to the c llar. by others they are
left until there is danger Of the
freezing Of the ground.
In our youth we assisted in dig
ing from 800 to 700 bushels Of pota-
toes annually, and the practice WIS
to throw them into baskets rs fast
rs they were dug, and from ihc bas-
kcts into the cart. When the cart
Was full, they we're immediately
taken into the %cellnr. These pota-
toes, OF various kinds, we're usually
excellent in quality, being mcaIy,
and of agreeable nWor. They were
grown on new ground, which would
partly account for their good qaul-
ity.
Which ia the most appropriate
time to lift them, early or late?
On looking over Professor Goad-
by's work on Vegetable AMI Animal
Physiology we find n table which
may throw y light upon the above
question. He says that st was
found by experiment that 2l0 pounds
of potatoes left in the ground con
tanned of starch : In August, 90 to
rs pounds /; September, - to IS
pounds; October, - to 10 pounds !;
November, SO 10 10 POUNDS April
IS TO IS pounds; May, y to 20
pounds"
The quantity Of star,h remained
the came during the dormant state
winter, but decreased rs So0n as
tho plant began to grow.
From our own observation we ave
inclined to think that the potato is
ofrin dry ground i'll its native
bed until some time in October, if
lot endangered by worms or floods,
md that they are better not to be
exposed much to sun or wind.

The Government Of Children.

VIC 90 HOL Fhy hHy'Hllp very OllS-
inal when we say that the chief OBJ
ject in the government Of children
should be to teach Il child to govern
himself. We know that most PEG
pie think differently, or rather they

name Of thinking. Most people be.
Iioyc, or at least iocl, that the bust

the chitds will to their own What
is falsely called family government
is in most families u selfish struggle
between tic wilfulness of the parent

we do not say that the child, except
i'll fragrant cases, has II right TO re-
fuse obedience. Tho child has no
right to Judge Of your motives OF Of
your wisdom. But yen have no gen
eral right to exercise your authority
for the mere sake Of being obeyod.
For, let us repeat, the chief object
of family government should be to
teach u chill to do without your

Mr.. Becchcr has said, III hIsqunint

ticnl and progressive planters of
that State, has recently addressed II
long letter to tho Department. of
Agriculture, giving the results of

to adopt. Mr. Lawrence claims the
advantages of the steam pillow to be
the little tire consumed in getting

deep blowing and subsoiling is per-
formed, and which gives an increased
production, and the extent of land
that can DO cultivated. There is u
