whenever he strikes his foot on any
hard substance. Large rolls or cilin-
ders of india rubber are placed be-
meath railroad cars to prevent injury
to any part OF the car or to the cargo
with which it is loaded. The frog
beneath the foot of the horse is de-
signed to subserve a similar purpose
But the manner in which most horses
are shod, lifts them up, as it were,
upon short stills, so that the frogs
cannot perform their appropriate
functions. If we look carefully at a
young horse when he is trotting or
running, it will be preceived that
every foot is brought down to the
ground in such manner that the
frog receives the powerful blow. By
this means all injury to the animal is
avoided Science teaches us to per
NIT the frog to develop and expand
downward. But most blacksmiths
seem TO think that the all wise Crea.
tor made mistake when he formed
the hoofs of the horses. Hence they
fall at the frogs with red-hot burning
irons, with edge tools and with any
other appliance that will enable them
to remove this extraneous excres-
cence. Ilustrious ninnies Why not
shave all the rough, adipose tissue
beneath their own heels, and leave
the bare bones to rest on plates of
iron inside of their own boots and
shoes ?

a Homemade Carpet.


An Eastern lady says Have any
of you spare bedchamber, seldom
used, which you would like to carpet
at little expense ? Go to the paper
hangers store and select a paper
looking as much like carpet as you
can find. Having taken it home, first
paper the floor of your bedroom with
brown paper, or newspapers. Then
over this or these put down your
wall paper. A good way to do this
will be to put good coat of paste
upon the width of the roll of paper
and the length of the room, and then
lay down, unrolIing and smoothing at
the same time. When the floor is all
covered, then size and varnish, only
dark blue and common furniture var
nish may be used, and the floor will
look all the better for the darkening
these may give it. When it is dry,
put down a few rugs by the bedside
and before the toilet table, and you
have as pretty carpet as you could
wish. A carpet, too, that will last
for years, if not subject to constant
wear, and at trifing expense |
myself used room one entire Sum-
mer prepared in this way-used it
constantly and when the house was
sold in the Fall, the purchaser asked
me to take up the oilcloth, as he wish
ed to make some alterations which
would be sure to injure it.

A Probable Cause Of Hog Cholera.

AS rule it is in the interest of far.
mers to raise a breed of hogs that
will mature rapidly. Breeds have
beens hurried Up till pig eight or
ten months old will weigh between
two and three hundred pounds. This,
OF course hasits advantages, but there
are many serious evils to counterbal-
ance them, and these are prime
cause of the present trouble:
Hogs now lack bone to remarka-
BILE degree. They are all lacking in
hardness of constitution, which is apt
to make them victims to numerous OBJ
scure diseases about which little is
known, but which are now classed
under one common head that of hog
cholera.
One prime cause Of these diseases
and delicacy of constitution is the ex-
treme early age at which pigs are
allowed to couple and breed. If I'M
restrained they will crafty this in
stinct at six weeks of age, or even
less. Nearly all our choice breeds
are the offspring of parents, in al
most every case, on both sides, of less
than one year old. They came from
pigs, not hogs, and this process has
gone on, ard bids fair to 60 on, till
no more hogs are left in the West, if
this is not already the case.
A male animal ought not to be used
for breeding if under one year old.
He ought to be selected for size,
bone and vigor of constitution, aud
ought to have q limited number of
sows, none of whom ought to be less
than a year old--still better if they
are older. The boar ought to be kept
up. and on no account should be al
lowed unrestrained access to the
younger females of the herd
1t is to be hoped that some of your
observing readers will act on these
hints, and give the results in your pa
per. When a sire, possessing the
proper and necessary qualities for
one, is found he ought to be kept at
least FIVE years for this special pur-
Prise, and if the sows let to him are
over three years of age, their off
spring will be all The better in every
respect.

Shoeing Horses.

A writer in the New York Herald
states some facts about how horses
should be shoe, which are worth the
consideration of blacksmiths, and
farmers as well
Most of the horseshoers of this
country prepare the foot, ct the shoe
and secure it to the hoof in the same
manner that wood butcher fits q
shoe to an old wood or OK sled. The
mechanism of 4 horses hoof is one of
the most wonderful and ingenius
structures that can be found in all the
works of the Creator. Beneath and
in the rear of every foot there is a
frog, which is tough and elastic pad
for preventing injury to the. animal
