SHOEING HORSES. 1t Is almost i'm
possible to get a horse shOd without
having the frogs cut away, All vet
Urinary surgeons, all horse men, all
leading blacksmiths agree that the
frogs should not be pared one particle
not even trimmed. No matter how
soft and pllable the frog Is, cutit away
smooth on all sides, and IN two days
It will be dry and hard as a chip. You
might as well cut Off all leaves OF trees
and expect them to flourish as to pare
away the frog and have a healthy
foot The rOngh spongy part Of the
frog Is to the foot what leaves are to
the trees--the lungs. Never have a
red hot shoe put upon the foot to burn
it level. If you can find a blacksmith
that Is mechanic enough to level the
foot without red-hOt iron, employ
him. The burning process deadens
the hO0f and tends to contract 1t. IT
you do not think so. try the Ted-hot
poker on your finger-nail, and see how
1t will effect the growth Of that.
There are many other important points
in shoeing horses, but these two are of
more Importance than All the rest,
level to the apprehension Of men not
skilled in horses, and the two most re-
gaiJed.

It was very brief. very concise; but
it answered Florry's purpose--lt was
to the point. She bent over and drew
something from the breast-pocket Of
his coat. 1t was small flask. Then
she rolled the paper up and thrust It
through a dainty little ring. which she
had Slipped from her finger. Next
she drew the stopper, and after empty

that Mr.. Castle gave his sanction to
their betrothal that very night. And

where he can, and never pay. In the Same
town lives MC Jacob Bond, who keeps the
store at the corner. Ben had a score there,
but To get his pay was more than Mr.. B.
was equal to. One day Ben made his APP
pearance with bag aud wheelbarrow.
Mr.. Bond. want to buy two bushels Of
corn, and L want tn pay the cash for it,
Very well, says b.
And so they both got up stairs, and B.
puts up the corn, and Ben takes it down,
while Mr.. b. stops 10 close up his window.
When he got down. he saw old Ben some
distance from the door making for home.
'Halloo, Ben You said you wanted to
pay the cash for that corn.'
Old Ben sat down on one handle of his
barrow, and cooking his head on one side,
said, That's all true, Mr. B., l do want to
pay the cash for the corn, but l can't.
