HORSE SHOES.

! was reading some time ago, in
your paper, an article on. the use
Of calks on horse shoes. For a
aumber Of years ] have been ac-
sustoiaed to driving and working
horses, both ON the farm and the
road, and l have never e any
benefit from calks only in times of
ice. A horse does not, as all good
drivers know, pull with the heel of
the shoe, but with the toe; then
why the use Of heel calks! The
nail heads are sufficient to keep
him from slipping, going down hill,
and when they are worn off, the
shoes should be reset. The best
shoe | ever used was the common
smooth shoe, beveled on the seat
ing-no calks--and put on with as
few nails as the work admits of,
and fitted to the foot, and not the
foot 10 il. Ninty-nine out CT every
hundred of the so-called smiths
are no more fit to shoe q horse than
q man who never saw a shoe put
on. Whenever a smith makes s.
shoe a half inch or more too small,
nails it on and rasps the foot down
TO the shoe, he is injuring that
horses foot more than all the hard
usage the horse can be put to.
There is a Shoe now made. which,
il every horse.owner would buy
and use, would save a great many
horses that are now ruined by bad
shoeing. 1t is called the Good
enough, and is exactly what Its
name indicates it to be. 1t has
three calks-one at the toe and
one each side, but none at the heel.
One set will last as long as two OF
the ordinary shoes now in use. l
am using no other, but if it could
not be had, would use the common
smooth shoe IN preference to one
with calks. Any man with tools,
who Understands how q shoe should
be put on, can put them on, as they
are ready shaped and punched
Horses that with other shoes would
stumble necessarily, with the pat
ent shoe seem to get well of the
habit, and also stiff horses are
benefited.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the

which an Opposition House OF RepreSen'
lativ YES, the first since the war, viii be IN

twenty.third election of n President Of he

The Opposition House Of Representa-

years ago by The SuN. will sternly aud
diligently investigate the corruPtions and

worthy information upon these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,

YARD FOR PIGS.

I believe that one great reason
why pigs do not prove more profit
able on a great many farms is be
cause they do not have enough
clean yard-room in which to run
and forage. Too often they are
confined to a small pen and q very
small ward. both Of which are dirty.
They have not even a clean grass
spot, or grass or other green food
to eat, hut must constantly stay in
a close yard or pen. For large hogs
this restriction is injurious, but Tor
little pigs it is very much worse.
Young animals want liberty to ex
ercise their muscles and clean grass
on which to feed. A few farmers
let their pigs run at will, hut they
are apt to do a great deal OF mis-
chief. One ofmy neighbors, who
raises q great many pigs, used to
let them run my garden, corn and
potatoes. tread down my grass,
and they did q great
deal of damage to my crops; but
he always had nice pigs. and there
was no evident reason except
that he allowed them full liberty
out of doors. Now | do not APP
prove of having a drove OF pigs
running through gardens and
crops, hut | think it would pay
even small farmers to fence in an
eighth or q fourth of an acre OF
land adjoining their hog yards,
and let their pigs run IL part OF
the time every day in this in
closure. When they get large
enough to root turf land, they
can be shut into their ordinary
yards or else have the tendons OF
their noses cut or rings put in to
keep them from doing mischief.
But whether 1t is used for large
hogs or not, it would certainly
pay farmers who raise many pigs
to furnish them such a yard

A RELIABLE MARK OF a GOOD
COW.

Mr.. Guenon, of France, estah.
lished or pointed out new method
of Judging the milk-prodncing
qualities of COWS. The point upon
which he relied in selecting a good
COW was what is called tue es-
cutcheon or milk mirror. 1t is q
mark, caused by the hair pointing
upwards between the thigh and
lust above the ulder, forming
quite a contrast to the rest Of the
ha,r which lies smooth and pointing
downwards. A perfect mirror en-
braces the udder, spreads out equal.
" on the inside and rear Of both
thighs as high mp as the uppelmo>t
part Of the udder, aud then runs to
a point at or a little below the
vulva. Sometimes this e~scutebeon
extends from the udder to vulva in
a strip Of uniform width, without
spreadng on the thighs. This
form is better than none, but Is not
the best form. The nearer IL con-
forms to the perfect form which we
nave gwen above, the better will
the ~ king capacity Of the COW
prove to he.

POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
Established May. 1921
CONDUCTED BY
Prof. II. Il. IoumanS.

The POPULAR ScIRScE MONTY was start.
ed to promote the diffusion of valuable sci
eniific knowledge, in a readable and at.
t~raclive form, among all classes Of the com
munlty. and has thus far met a want sup
piled by no other periodical in the United
States.
The great feature Of the magazine is,
that its contents are rot what science WQs
ten or more years since, but what IL is TO-
day, fresh from the study the laboratory,
and the experiment: clothed in the Ian.
guage of the authors. Inventors, and sci
%cntisls themselves, which comprise the
leading minds OF England, france, Ger
many and the United States. Among
popular articles, covering the whole range
| of NATURAL ScIEMcE. we have the latest
thoughts and words of Herbert Spencer,
and Professors Huxley, Tyndall, and r A.
Proctor. Since the start, IT has proved q
gratifying success to every friend of sci
entifc progress and universal education
and those who believed that science could
not be made anything but dry study are
disappointed.
