HORSE Shooting.

How many horses, valuable horses In
many respects, are spoiled by having de-
fec5ivs fore feet. The general defect in the
fore feet, is called spinched" or contracted
feet. This makes the animal tender for
ward, liable to fall when going down hill,
and consequently unsafe.
When the forward feet of horse are de-
fective his usefulness on the road is much
impaired; and in fact there is no comfort
or safety in using such q horse.
What causes tender feetp The most
common cause is bad shoeing, with i'm
proper care of the animal. There are few
good horse-shoers. Not one blacksmith in
fifty knows how to shoe horse properly.
How frequently do boys and apprentices,
as soon as they can drive nail, undertake
to set shoes, without any knowledge of the
anatomy of the horses foot, or any Of that
Unborn philosophy which teaches a man to
look at the reason of thing. 1t is shame
and an outrage upon the rights of horses to
have such a state of things.
Il is also lamentable fact that not one
man in hundred knows when his horse is
well shod. Commonly a man leads his
horse 10 the blacksmith's shop, lets the
work be done, and then goes off with his
oobAohSos bSSAhoO AC los oA4OOo Ou LIS
eet.
There are two very common faults in
shoeing horses. One is, the shoes are too
short. How can a horse travel with ease,
unless his shoes are long enough for him to
set his whole feet down on the shoes? A
horse suffers as much with short shoes as a
man does with boots of an insufficient
length. How can ashorse travel easily all
day over our rough roads, with shoes half
an inch too short? l do not know how
many times l have been panied at seeing
horses with short shoes on. Have the
shoes as long as the foot the longer it is,
reasonably, the better support it will give.
The second fault is, shoes are made
concGue, instead of cOnUeI. When horse
sets down his foot, If he can, it will spread
a little. This arrangement was made to
save the animal from pounding solid foot
on the ground. The foot of horse has
layers Of springs, as it were, in it, and the
shoes should be made accordingly. If the
heel of the horses shoe dishes in, how can
the horses heel spread when he puts bis
foot down? 1t cannot; but it is bound
tighter, so that it cramps the foot, aud after
a while it results 10 pinched feet.
A forward foot shoe should be made with
the heel of it slightly convex, just enough
convex to let the heel spread naturally
when the horse puts his foot down.

the following essential rulefor the profitable
handling of milk:
Milk must In all cases be drawn In the
cleanest manner from healthy cows. All
the pals, pans and other dairy utensils
must be sweet and clean. The dairy room
must be light, sweet and airy, not exposed
to any odor whatever. After the milk is
strained 1t must be kept quiet an undis-
turbed, at a temperature of go degrees, for
from 40 to As hours. The chemical change
called souring has then begun, and The milk
must be skinned. 1t could stand longer,
but the value and the quality of the cream
continually deteriorates after that length OF
time. The cream must be kept at the
same, or q lower temperature, until it
Is ready for cburning. Experience has
decided that the dash churn is the best,
and that the cream should be churned from
80 to go minutes, at a temperature of
81 degrees, before the butter "comes."
After the butter is gathered" and the but
ter-milk drawn of, the butter must be
washed in pure, cold water until every par
ticle Of milk is washed out. No economy
Of pure air or water should be practiced in
dairy. After washing, the butter must be
sailed with Ashton salt, at the rate of to
l OF. salt to each pound of butter. Then
let it stand in cool, sweet place for TWEEN
ty-four hours; then work it again to get out
all particles of water or brine, and it is
then ready for the table or for packing.
Nearly all these conditions are under the
control of most dairymen. The tempera-
ture is least under control, but by the use
OF a coal stove, or 'tregulator" wood stove
in cold weather, and ice and cold water in
warm weather, the temperature of the dairy
room can, in great measure, be brought
under control. There are many methods
of cooling milk in hot weather, nearly all
of which require the use of water, in some
shape. Perhaps more perfect way might
be invented to cool the air of the room in
stead of the milk. Experiments in the
construction of cool milk rooms are to be
made in this county the coming season.

Il
/ ed as sound and reliable In England and
the United States, The lecture from which
the above is an extract, has been published
In the Transactions of the New York Agri-
cultural Society, In the Southern Planter
and Farmer, and know not how MANY
other journals. But as this pen seeks for
light and truth, it begs to inquire how many
tons OF clover must grow on an acre to
yield, when the clover decays, 1852 pounds
OF ammonia2 Dry clover hay, according to
Boussingault, has within small fraction,
two per cent of nitrogen. The analysis of
DIR. Voelcker does not differ much from
this. Hence, one thousond pounds of dry
clover plants, growing and decaying on an
acre, viii give to the soil twenty pounds of
nitrogen. II it takes one thousand pounds
of dry clover to furnish twenty of nitrogen,
how many pounds of dry clover must grow
on an acre to give three thousand five hun
dred and ninety-two pounds Of nitrogen,
when the clover rots ON and in the soilp
Answer, one hundred and seventy nine
thousand and six hundred poundsi Only
eighty-nine Thousand and eight hundred
tonsl ~
Considering the thousands Of agricultu-
raj students there are in England, Scotland,
Ireland and the United States, is 1t not
passing strange that an error Of the above
magnitude, relating to clover as fertilizer,
should escape notice four years9 The lee
turs was delivered in May, 1868, In the
Royal Agricultural Society, and in the
main, displays great ability. But when we
are asked to believe that clover left to 90 to
seed gives the soil S,592 pounds Of ammo
mia more than it will if emown twice for
hay per acre." its power to render atmos-
pheric air assimilable by wheat aud other
cereals must exceed thousand fold any,
thing now known, or the proposition is pre-
posterous.
By knowing before hand just how much
nitrogen there is in one Thousand pounds
of clover, I am able to make Analytical
Chemistry correct errors in its own science.
1t is precisely bringing the rules of arith-
metic to bear on agriculture. More than
thirty years ago, when DR.. Voelcker was
Assistant Chemist to Prof j. w. Johnston,
in Durham University, bad occasion to
point out similar errors in the teachings of
Prof. Johnston, which did not please him.
At that time, the writer was giving public
lectures in the State of New York, and
searching after agricultural truth from
clover toots yard long. D. LEE.

How to Use Mercury.

Never put mercury into your stomach. The
proper Place for it is in the Thermometer or the
barometer. There it win inform you of the
changes Of Temperature, or forewarn you Of the
coming of storms, thus indicating the times and
seasons when it is necessary TO reinforce the sys-
TEN with H0stetter's Stomach Bitters, in order
TO ward of the ailments which peculiar cODdi-
tons of the elements produce. When the quick
sill yer suddenly falls several degrees OF Fahren-
heit, as it often does at this 4sOn fortify the
system against the depressing influence Of this
sudden abst action of heat by d0se of the most
genial and wholesome of all invigorsnts. Or if
the indicator of your barometer points TO stormy,
brace up for those damp, driving gales which
are sure to search TO the very marrow of an I'M
toned organization Fever and ague, chronic
indigestion, violent COLES, dysenter bilious in
termitSnts, rheumatism, ami a host of pulmOn-
airy complaints, come OF such visitatiOns.
