TRIM THE IIouFs OF CoLTs.-In
many instances the insensiDle portion
of tie ho0fs of colts aud of young
horses will grow ont so round and flat
that fragments sometimes will be
broken off. This is more particularly
the case if colts are allowed TO run at
large occassionlly on hard grOnnd and
gravelly and stony lands and hard
roads the hoof will wear fast enough,
as nature evidently intended they
should. Bur If young horses are kept
on smooth turf, their feet must be kept
short by artificial means. The most
convenient way 10 trim long hOois 10
to let one person hold block of bard
wood against the hoof, or hold the
hoof on the square end of the wood
while an attendant cuts off small
piece with sharp chisel and mallet.
Use an inch finer chisel rather than
larger one, as a twO.inch chisel will
require heavier blows with a mallet.
a pair of sharp niPpers tsometimes
vulcarly called snips) may often be
employed for such purpose when a
colt is so restive that the chisel and
maIIet cannot be used. We have in
mind q colt having unusually long
hoofs, which had in his play stepped
upon some hard substance and broken
off the front Of one part of the foot TO
the quick. The accident was attend
ed with some bleeding and excessive
Iameness, the suffering brute being
unwilling to put his foot TO the ground.
Ten minutes work would have saved
the animal much pain, and The owner
might have had the beDefi, Of three
months growth, instead Of naTing II
arrested for that period. But the oc-
casional breaking oft of part OF the
hOof is a mere trifie when compared
with other mischiefs resulting from
the same cause. When he toe IS too
long the strain on the fetlock JOINT
will be greatly increased, so that per-
manent injury to the suspensors lIga-
menu of tie foot often follows. Young
horses frequently have wind-galIs aud
other evidences Of sprains before they
are put To work In many instances
such ailments occur where shortening
of the toe has been neglected until the
hoofs heve grown TO an unnatural

CLOVER AND WHEAT,-Time and again,
saws the Indiana Frmsr. it has been shown
that wheat Is almost certain 20 be good crop
upon land previously run to clover. Equally
often has it been shown, by actual trial, also,
that clover can be made profitable crop to
the farmer. When we consider that these
TWO facts are well known, is it not little
singular that farmers will persist in taking
their chances In wheat crops on land not
naturally fitted for wheat? Year after year
this i done IN land not possessing the ele-
menis required to produce wheat, bat which
would produce clover, which in turn, while
making a profitable crop, would put the soil
In precise condition for wheat crop. Why
no, observe thase plain facts. and Thus become
more suece-sful? DIR. Weiks, Of Germany,
has shown by actual and repeated experiments
the true value of clover ss preparatory
crop On wheat land, and, indeed for corn and
! other crops requiring similar elements OF soil.
I lf Wa SHOWN lDAl q rlDktc SiO'tA AtA'
enough of nitrogen in the soil to produce ll6
bushels of wheat; phnsphoric scid for ia
bushels, and potash enough for 1S bushels
These are the active and essential elements
of soil for producing wheat. We urge again
that il is 10th useless waste OF time aud
labor TO plod along, without method or IN
formation, or what is still worse, without dis
pu-itiuu to yield 10 what is known on this
subject, in the production Of wheat. If ever
I the production Of wheat is increased, these
wellknown and wellresred facts must be OBJ
served. II may be true. that Il, that there
are sometimes failures in wheat CROP even
ON land 20 prepared. But these are clearly
| trac-able to condi'ions of climate and a'mos-
uhere. character Of land. and want OF drain
| age. Lands which are now annually pro-
duciug poor crops Of ~h-s' and eorD, can b.
made 10 nearly doutle their production by
running them 20 clover, aud at the eam~
time The clover it-elf may be made valuable
crop.

The European Situation.

IL now appears that the proposed conf-r-
ence will take place. but whether it will re-
suit in any agreement securing she P-aee Of
Europe is rendered doubtful by the iutfmA-
ton that Russia insists upon preliminary
conference. the object Of which can only be
to impose conditions or make alliances, with
a view to infueneing the proceedings of the
general youfereuce. The warlike measures
now bling taken by the Gar are no, eonGu-
Give to the expectation that peace will be
prolonged, aud the reported Turkish no'e TO
the signs'ory powers appears 10 indicate that
the Porte has a. last reached the end Of its
patience, and will rather fight than make
any further concessions. II may be noted
that the Cz.r disclsims any intention of an
swering Lord Besconfield, in his late speech,
and attributes his remarks TO desire 10 sub
stiiute the government for the Selavonian
Societies, IN the management of the Servian
affairs. II is now probable that The Gar in
tended to answer Beaoonfield, especially
since, as reported, he only received the tele-
graphic account of the latter's speech two
hours before be made his own but the ex-
PLANTATION he youchsafes hardly covers the
case, no withstanding. Whether the Con-
siantinople conference Will effect anything
depends primarily npon whether Russia and
Turkey really value peace more than any,
thing else, aud Judging from the action If
both governments this must be regarGed
quite doubtful The mobilization Of the Rus
sian rrmy has been ordered. and the Porte is
establishing permanent camp at Schumsia,
and has ordered the feet TO sea from Slnope.
the memories of which place are ominous
and disayreesble for Turkish mariners. 4
curious report cont erning the probable at,i-
Iude of Germany in the event of war,
comes to hand IL is TO The effect that she
is understood to be pledged to sn observance
of neutrality as against Austria, with an en-
gagemeDt TO watch the Polish provinces, ard
presumably TO assist in repressing any Polish
rising" For an outline of policy OF neu-
tTaliiy this contains rather TOO many elements
Of scrive alliance with Russia, and ON the
whole presen's such jumbie that We think
it safest TO diaeredit il. A TO what Ger
many will DO, nobody knows yet, md it Is
even questionable whe'her Prince Bismarck
has nude up his mind. Generally speaking
the policy of Germany must be peaceful, bat
the present situation places ber IN particn-
iarly dlfficnlt attitude. aud the problem TO
b. solved by the great Chancellor at this mo-
