The Evil of PAIRING Horses Foot.

1t is also by means of this inner or
sensitive sole that the secretion which
feed the outer sole are deposited. On the
other hand, the other sole has for its use
the work Of protecting the inner sole both
from contact with the ground and also
with the atmosphere. The atmospheric
contact results in absorbing the natural
moisture until it becomes dessicated, or
parched, so that great cracks and rents
appear in it, as the farmer in August, on a
clay bottom, finds great rents and cracks
in the soil. In short, the outer side is
is.nature's shield and natures stuffing for
the inner sole, to ward off on the one hand,
the blows that might otherwise smite it /;
and on the other hand, to keep its juices,
by the means of which the sole Of the foot
is being supplied with needed nutrition,
from being dried up. At this point we
may properly inquire, if this is the use and
Office of the outer sole, If it holds such an
important rank in the order of natural
growth of the foot, why is it ever pared
away?" This is my answer The reason
is, because people are Ignorant and blindly
follow stupid and barbarous custom, in
stead of pausing to reflect upon what they
are doing. Ask any smith why he pares
out the sole of a foot, and he can give you
no reason save that he has been taught to
do so. And who, pray taught him? Some
one as ignorant as he is, reply; and so,
generation after generation, barbarous
and indefensibe act has been committed,
to the premature breaking down of many
valuable horses and actual manning of not
a few, and the painful torturing of some.
No form of flesh is more sensitive to
pain than the inner substance of horse's
foot. Its power of sensitiveness is like
that which lies sleeping under the human
flnger-nail. To protect this from hurt and
undue pressure, nature has put this hard
horny shield, viz, the outer sole; and yet
have often sat and seen an ignorant smith
hack and hew and pare away this natural
protection until he could actually indent
it with his fingers and little drops of blood
oozed forth from within. Yet this method
of procedure is vindicated and held up as
the model (?) method of preparing the foot
for the emergencies of actual service

How 10 I'll n Collar.

In purchasing a collar for your horse, it
is important to get one that fits him, as
both the animals and yourself will thus be
saved much annoyance. The Harness and
Carriage Journal says:
The plan adopted in the West, and
which we are assured by men who have
been long in the collar business does not
injure the collar in the least, is to dip it in
water until the leather is thoroughly wet,
then put it on the horse, secure the names
firmly, keeping it there until it becomes
dry. 1t is all the better if heavy loads are
to be drawn, as that causes the collar to
be more evenly fitted to the neck and
shoulder. If possible, the collar should be
kept on from four to five hours, when it
will be perfectly dry and retain the same
shape ever afterwards, and as it is exactly
fitted to the form of the neck, will never
produce chafes or sores on the horses
neck.

Cream Pies.

Make the crust as usual and spread on
the tins. For each pie take one-half cup
of pulverized sugar and nearly as much of
sifted flour rub together dry and spread
over the crust. Ut is quite essential that
the flour and sugar should be well mixed
before uniting with the cream, as it pre-.
vents all possibility Of lumps.) Pour over
it one cup of sour cream, and few spoon
fuls of sour or loppered milk stir gently
into the flour and sugar. Crate over a
little nutmeg and bake in a quick oven.
1t is better to place an iron CRATE in the
oven under the pies as they are liable to
"run over if too hot ON the bottom
These pies are always in good demand. II
sweet cream is used, no milk should be
added. They should always be eaten fresh
but are good cold or warm.

FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLs AND FE.
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER!
The Greatest Discovery of the Age

VNHERE are no diseases so facilitating in
Il their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove n preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradlcating 1t from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their ReputGtion is Established. - Thousands
OF testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Phys-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders''
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

man who was chairman of the COM
mittee in the Anti-Monop. conven-
tion to select delegates to represent
the party of the county in the con-
vention at Oskaloosa which nomina-
ted him for Judge. He knew how
to lay the wires to secure the nomin-
alton; he will find he cannot so
nicely manipulate his case at the
polls. The people of this county
know Jefferson, and will not forget
him in October.
w, B. Anderson, of Washington,
is the nominee for Prosecuting At

Department Of the State University
about one year ago, and went home
to become the junior member of the
firm of Brown & Anderson. Most OF
the time since he has been clerk In

Is the sort of training he has given
himself for the high position he
now asks. An eminent member OF

he has never tried q case at law,

The Opposition Nominees.

T.. n. Gates, the nominee Of the
Anti-Monopoly party for Congress,
is now about sixty years, of age,
though he is quite well preserved
and corpulent. He was formerly a
Democrat, and a lawyer. Having
monopolized fortune said to exceed
one hundred thousand dollars, he
invested small portion of it in a
farm near Newton, and is now a
farmer by profession. He Isl gentle
man of pleasant demeanor, and Of
about such ability and fitness for
Congress as Hon. Samuel Brecken-
ridge and Major Gibson of this coun-
ty possess. His powers as public
speaker are far inferior to those Of
Judge Casey, of this place. We
hope our friends will not be Offend
ed by these comparisons. "Who is
Gates?" has been the innocent in
quiry all over the District, since he
appeared as q result of the Ottumwa
compromise. He sought the nomin-
alton for State Treasurer. Failing in
his aspirations in that direction, his
desire ceased not until he secured
this nomination for defeat. Gov.
Stone, at the Ottumwa convention
pledged Marion county to give the
nominee larger majority than any
other county in the District. But
