Oyerreaching in Horses.

Youatt, the best English authority
(and all American Writers on the horse
copy after him without taking the trou-
Bile to think for themselves-in many
cases they are all in rut, like many of
the self-constituted teachers in politics,
religion and materia medica of the pres
ent day. says:
''This unpleasant noise, known also
by the terms clicking, 'overreach, etc,
arises from the toe of the hind foot
knocking against the shoe OF the fore
foot. In a trot, one fore leg and the
opposite hind leg are first lifted from
the ground and moved forward, the
other fore leg and the opposite hind leg
remaining fized but to keep the center
of gravity within the base, and as the
stride or space passed over by these legs
is often greater than the distance be-
twcen the fore and hind feet, it is neces-
sary that the fore feet should be moved
alternately out of the way of the hind
feet to descend.
Neither Youatt nor any modern writer,
so far as / have seen, offers suggestions
TO get the fore feet out of the way of
the hind feet YoHatt, not knowing
what else to say, suggests the following
Nothing can be done except to keep
the toe of the hind foot as short and as
round as it can safely be.

find that any part OF the machinery OF

would at once set his wits at work to get
the former to move out of the way OF

SUGAR-MAKING.- The making of maple
sugar in some sections Of our State is an
important branch of the work of early
spring. Tons upon tons of sugar are
made.
Those who have large orchards and
the apparatus for eyaporating and pre-
pairing the maple sap for syrup, or max
ing it into sugar, often reap as much in
come from this operation, as from any
single branch of their farm work. But
it is only now and then that the season
is wholly favorable. The deep SHOWS
of this year will prove great barrier to
tie collection of the sap, and when the
snow has passed off, the ground will be
entirely free from frost, and the flow of
sap will be consequently limited. We
do not see the prospect for a great sugar
season, but unless orchard owners resort
to the application of tar or ink, or some
other remedy, they will find all they
want to fight with before June goes by.
Attend to the work as soon as you can
find the tree trunks.
