A Penderous Slipper.

GEORGE has for some time past been
attentive to young lady whom he has
noticed on several evenings when he call
ed busily engaged on beautiful piece of
embroidery, which, perhaps accidentally,
or comparing it with the size of his own
foot, he had concluded was one of-a pair
of slippers that were, no doubt intended
for holiday present; and George had
once or twice allowed himself to wander
into the pleasant suspicion that they were
intended for him, although nothing had
really transpired to justify such a belief.
On Friday evening George called for
the third time during the week. Hes
quite attentive, it would seem, and as
usual the slipper was progressing finely.
He was fully sure the slippers were in
tended for him, but he was anxious to
draw the acknowledgment from the dear
angel who was laboring SO industriously
for his benefit, another implied acknowl.
edgment of her devotion for him. Of
course he began cautiously:
"Some one you are mighty fond of is
to become the possessor Of those slippers,
I imagine:" said he. Il s.s
"W6at slippers do you refer. to-" in
quired the fair laborer.
"Why, those you are working on SO in
dustriously,v replied George. -
"Slippersp' almost shouted his aston
ishcd companion. slippers! Do you
mean to tell me, George, that you took
this for slippers'
"Why noty" returned George, inadvert-
emily moving one Of. his pondeeous pedal
appendages. The movement though nm
Intentional, drew the lady's close ~attens
ton to Georges feet, where she gazed q
moment and then at the supposed slip
pers; then, raising her eyes to our hero,
she said: "Well, George, you are not so
much 70 blame, alter all; but this was
really intended for sofa cushion"
George takes but little pleasure in hear
ing the incident related.

tissues? No medical man would do such
thing, and no patient would permit 1t.
Yet veterinary surgeons and farriers follow
this practice on the horses foot, and horse
owners assent to It. The result is, that
corns assume q fictitious importance, and
the heel, robbed of its horn, is liable to
fresh injury for long time. "A
Wemay be told that the horn is remov-
ed SO as to release any matter formed as
the result of Inflammation. 1t is certainly
q plausible excuse, but not true one. A
professional man should be able to dag
nose the presence of matter without injur-
ious explorations, and matter is never
present unless horse is worked for two
or three days after the appearance. In
about eighty per cent. of the cases in
which farrier processes to have let out
matter, he has simply let out a straw-col-
ored efusion which would have been nat
urally reabsorbed in day or two after the
cause of injury-the shoe-had been re-
moved. The remaining percentage of corn
cases show matter because from negli-
gence or ignorance the shoe has been al
lowed to remain on the foot, continuing
the injury, and thus set up active infiam-
nation.
The rational treatment Of corn is to re-
move the shoe, and foment the foot with
warm water--in other words, to remove
the cause Of injury, and help nature to re-
absorb any effusion. If matter forms, it
must be thrown off. Nature does this
through an opening at the top of the wall,
between hair and hoof; man endeavors to
do it by an opening through the sole. Now,
we believe in natures plan, and expert
ence show us that it is the best, if not the
quickest, course for the horses foot. Warm
lamentations facilitate this course, and
therefore the treatment we have suggested
is applicable to all stages. This treatment
does not injure the hoof, and cessation
of pain, and consequent lameness, can be
followed by the immediate application of
properly fitted SHOE On the other hand
when the bars are destroyed and the sole
cut away, the wall is left without any sup
port. 1t is too weak to properly sustain
weight; if it rests upon the shoe it is
pressed either inwards or outwards, and
the recently injured parts are again hurt.
Thus, and thus only, it is that the exist
ence of corns can be said to predispose
horse to their recurrence. A corn is only
temporary accident, like bruised finger
the one is just as likely to recur as the
| other. Ifa horse remains lame over a
fortnight, there is something more than
corn-either badly fitted shoe, or the in
jury inflicted by the farrier's knifc-to
account for it. Verify, the ordinary cure
for cornss is worse than the disease
Horses are, we know, frequently lame OF
tender for months after having had corn
Let such animals be properly shod, nc
cutting out of the heel allowed, and we
guarantee speedy cure. Remember that
corn is only bruise of a horn-covered
part. Treat it as you would your own
finger under similar circumstances, and
very little trouble will be entailed.-Land

Save Y0nr Own Seed.

Every gardener has experienced
the same trouble with seeds put up
for sale. That there are honest
dealers in garden seeds is beyond
dispute, but so great is the demand
upon them that it is almost impossi-
bic for them to more than supply
the home demand. The only way to
avoid the disappointment occasioned
by a failure of seeds to terminate,
is to save your own supply. Save
only those from perfect-not over
erown-fruit or plants of finest fla
vor. After the seeds are carefully
dried, pick over such of them, like
corn. squash, melons, cucumbers.
pumpkins. beans, peas, and the like.
and select those that are the most
perfect and plump. We know far,
mer who, in the winter evenings, had
his boys sort over every kernel OF
corn he put in the ground, choosing
only the most perfect from the mid
die Of the ear, and always to his
own advantage. as his crops proved.
AS many seeds. like onions, parsnips,
carrots, satisfy. etc, viii not always
terminate when two years old, label
the boxes or bags containing your
seed with the name and year of
growth. Place them in dry, cool
place, where neither rats nor mice
will break through and steal them.

MULCHING WINTER WHEAT. Our
winter wheat crop is generally Sc
riously injured, and sometimes en-
tirely destroyed, by our winter
weather. At the North, where the
snow covers the ground four or five
months in the winter, the crop is
much more certain, for it is protect
ed by the snow but in our latitude
the wheat has no such protection
the ground is bare nearly all winter.
Our climate, too, is very changeable,
far more so than a more northern or
southern one. Alternate thawing
and freezing is going on most Of the
winter. Ii the sun comes out bright
" upon the earth even in rather
cold weather, the ground is thawed,
and at night freezes.
The result of this thawing and
freezing is tkat the wheat plants
are heaved out of the ground and
destroyed. Now if this freezing
and thawing could be prevented, the
crop might be saved. We are going
to recommend a plan which, though
it will not be an entire preventive,
yet will aid very much in preventing
the upheaval of the plants. 1t is
this: When you sow your wheat,
which should be done pretty early,
also sow on the same grounds oats
or buckwheat, to act as a muIching
during the winter. The oats or
buckwheat will get up foot or two
and be cut down by the first frost
and afford an excellent protection
to the wheat plants all winter.
We ask our readers to try this eX-
pertinent on q small scale, and report
the result. We believe they will
say where the oats or buckwheat was
sown, the crop was much less affect
ed by the winter.-RuraI World.
