Shooting HoRsEs.-Most horse shoers
and their apprentices assume to be more
familiar with the anatomy of the feet of
horses than any other person, because,
as they frequently aver, it is their bust
ness to handle such feet more than any
else. Hence blacksmiths usually feel
that no one has any right to dictate how
horse should or should not be shod.
If a person will study the anatomy of
the foot of young horse that has never
been shod, he will readily perceive that
more skill is required to fit a shoe cor
rectly than simply to nail shoe to a
block of wood. Every blacksmith should
procure foot of some horse which has
not worn shoe for a long period, so
that he may be the more readily per-
ceive and understand how to fit the
insensible she'll of the hoof. The wear
and tear incident to travelling falls al
most entirely on the sharp rim of the
hard she'll of the hoof when the foot is
not shod. When horse is to be shod
the shoes should be fitted to the feet,
rather than the feet to the shoes. The
weight of the animal should rest on the
hard she'll of the hoof, and not on the
soft sole on the inside, of the she'll. Be-
sides this, the frog, which answers the
same purpose beneath the foot as the
large rolls of India-rubber, under rail-
road cars, should never be pared away.
The frog will wear away as fast as any
portion of it will need to be removed
hence evory proprietor of horse should
charge the horse-shoer not to remove any
part of the frog. A great many coun
try smiths. who do not understand what
office the frog performs, will cut away 6
large proportion of it every time shoe
is fitted to the foot. Another thins
should never be allowed, which is apply
ing hot shoe to the hoof to burn i
down level rather than shave it. A no
shoe Injuries the elasticity and tenacit,
of the hoof; hence blacksmith shoult
never be allowed to fit the shoes b,
burning the hoof.
1t is the rule of many shoers to max
only four nail-holes on each side of tn
shoe, whether it is large or small one
Hence, if the shoe is designed for
large foot, there will be no nails back 0
a point half way between the toe-calk
and heel ealks; whereas there should b
at least six nails ON each side of th
hoof AS the proprietor is obliged t
pay the bill for shoelng. he should as
sumo the undoubted right to direct ho'
his horse should be shod.
During the winter, if horses are liabl
to calk each other, or to wound thei
own feet with sharp calks, let the smit
be directed to make long and square calk
which viii prevent slipping, and whic
will not wound the flesh so readily as
sharp calk. The toe-calks should /
made of steel, and temperd SO hard tn;

blacksmiths profess to use steel for to,
calks. when. in truth. they use piee

traced the cause that lay beneath

traced the cause that lay beneath
So entire, complete a change,
And found the farmers had maintained
A union called the Grange
Other workmen long were proving
I'm union there is strength,
Each his brothers rights maintaining
At any cost or length.
But these had not learned the precept,
Love thy neighbor as myself"
The result was no progression
In true comfort or IN wealth.
But the Grange, though late in forming,
Proved permanent and strong,
Its patrons ever welcoming
New members to its throng.
How sad, indeed. it was. to wake
From such pleasant dream.
And prove fate's fork, like other things,
Which are not what they seem !
Could I but boast of second sight.
Or of prophetic vision, g s. @
The Grange, a benefactor is, ia
OulQ De your HISt ucOioioH.
But this we'll find better guide
Than either dream or vision, -.
If things are not what they seem
They yet are what we make them.
Our older friends and patrons
Have fought life's battle WE'LL
Through the labor and the hardship
That farmers life can tell.
This Grange which you have organized,
Its influence may not be
In your life fully recognized
As your children shall it see;
But the precepts of your order
Shall your sons and daughters teach.
Rightly to improve the talents
| God has placed within their reach.
For the world is loudly calling
For the young of every class;
Men of rank and note are falling,
And the sad professions pass.
Now, amid the foaming breakers
Rolls our good old ''ship of state :
She has need of sturdy leaders
To direct her future fate.
Every high and low position
In our own and other lands,
Every station, each profession,
Honest, upright men demands.
In the paths of life so dreary,
Let the star of hope shine bright,
Let the shield.of truth ne'er weary,
While contending for the right.
And the times are now demanding
Women of undaunted will,
Who with grace, respect commanding,
Wider spheres in life shall fill.
1t is useless now disdaining
Women, as the weaker power;
Just as useless to be claiming
This the question of the hour.
For this social question viewing,
Meier shall vex liberal mind,
That, no shadowy future waiting,
Well improves the present time.
Then let every earnest patron.
Trifing time no more away,
Work to fit himself for duties
Growing clearer every day.
For the scar of progress" ever
With steady motion rolls,
Though the wrong may seem triumphar
Yet the right it e'er upholds.

ba,ad,y, at Glorer, IT., Feb. ID, 1873.
Rhymes are cheap and words are plenty
Time. though precious as the gold,
May not all be coined in specie,
Whose par value may be told.
So, as we have met together,
1t has been so well improved
With good speaking and addresses,
We may now have lighter food.
Leaving argument, and logic,
(Such strong meat may do for men)
Follow the idle vagaries
Of a woman's will and pen.
Well not promise to be earnest,
Scientific, grave, or wise,
But treat as lightly as we please
Whate'er subject may arise.
With retrospective vision
Can the animals of the past,
With the fresher present view it,
Or explore the future vast :?
Speaking lightly Of the future
Well recalls a dream of mine,-
Of course you believe in warnings,
Omens, prophecies, and signs -
Thinking busily one evening
Of the Grange, its motives, ends,
My eyelids closed in slumber;
Queer thoughts and fancies came.
One of these was the reading
Of the strange book of fate,
The future all revealing
No need to watch and wait.
The difference was refreshing,
The present seems so bare
Compared with the good time coming.
OF which, was written there.

a Family OF sIurderers.

Kansas for some years has been noted as
the nursery of moral monstrosities of all
sorts. A family Of the name of Bender,
living near Cherry Vale, in that State, have
lately been discovered to be implicated in
the commission of long series of murders
of the most shocking nature, which for
cold-blooded atrocity may fairly rank
among the prodigies of crime. The dis
eovery of one Of the victims on the farm
where they lived led to search, which re-
vealed the graves of nine more victims Of
assassination, all of them murdered ap-
parently by blow on the head from a
Ratchet. The Bender family protested to
be Spiritualists, but it is evident that they
were prompted to tfr'- iiabolical work not
by Spiritualism, but by the lowest sort of
materialism-a lust for the money of the
unfortunate travellers who stopped at their
eating saloon, on the Independence road.
The Kansas lawyers will shortly have an
opportunity, unless lynch law intervenes in
that hot-headed community, of showing
what they know about emotional insanity.

Rarber SIlODS.

We noticed some time since the arrest of
a number of Memphis BARRIERS for keeping
their shops opon on Sunday. The follow
ing is the ordinance under which they were
arrested:
City Ordinaces, sec. il, Nc. 24-It shall
be deemed misdemeanor to do or cause
to be done, any of the following acts, and
any person convicted thereof shall be fined
not less than five nor more than fifty dollars:
"Fi-st-To keep ones place Of business
open on Sunday, or sell on that day goods,
wares or merchandise, except tavern keep
ers who may furnish meals ard refresh
ments to actual guests, livery stable keepers,
apothecaries who may sell necessary medi-
cine, and confectioners who sell ice cream,
soda-water and cakes"
The cases were appealed to the Second
Circuit Court, and by agreement it was
understood that the decision of Judge Hal
sey should be considered final. Judge Hal
sey gave his written opinion on the ques-
ton, and decided that The city ordinance in
relation to Sunday laws was constitutional,
and those violating the same were guilty Of
misdemeanors and subject to fine. He
further ruled that barber shops were in
cluded in the provisions of the ordinance,
ana the duty of the Circuit Court was
simply to enforce the ordinance. II public
policy and necessity demanded that barber
shops should be kept open on Sunday, an
appeal for a repeal of the ordinance must
be made to the General Council, and not to
the Circuit Court.

We clip the following pleasant paragraph
from the St. Louis Dispatch: "A Profess
or Newman, whoever he may be, has let
ter in a recent number of The Spectator, in
which he advocates suicide and murder as
duty, under certain conditions. He says
be has asked the opinions of many people
and they othink painful, useless, and hope
less life ought to be ended" In regard to
murder, he supposes two cases-one In
which member of a party passing through
the wilderness breaks down, and must be
left behind in order that the Others may
save their lives, and begs TO be killed at
once, in order to save him from greater and
prolonged suffering; and another in which
sick old life ruins the young life that attends
it. Under the musical designations of"Eu-
thanssia," be speaks Of this sort OF murder
as an act that ought to be publicly approx
ed and realized, under certain conditions.
He thinks that, "properly restricted
the privilege of murder would not be
liable TO abuse" 1t is the duty Of some
body to kill Prof. Newman.
A few years ago the Scientific AnericIn
suggested the substitution of the word s'tel-

suggestion was SO practical that 1t was acted
upon, and the new word incorporated into
the language at once. Now, why not sub
stitute "photogram," and "lithOgram," for
photograph" and "lithogrsph?" Theprin-
ciple is the same.
