0verreaching.

Many horses have the very unpleasant
habit of striking the toes of the hind shoes
against those on the fore feet. Most
horsemen will agree that it is fault at
taching to some of the best, as we'll as the
worst Of horses. 1t more frequently occurs
with young horses, and they often click on
the turf or soft ground, and not on the
road 1t arises from the too great activity
or length of the hind legs; the fore feet are
unable to get out of the way in time; there
fore, anything detaing in them, such as a soft
or heavy soil, must assist the habit. The
principal point to be remedied is the intol-
erable noise, from which the evil derives its
name" Clicking" and this is often effected
by making the hind shoes square at the toe,
and leaving the toe of the crust somewhat
projecting over the shoe, by which plan the
crust receives the blow insteed of The shoe,
and does not make any noise. 1t some
times happens that, from the repetition of
these blows the crust is worn so thin at the
toe as to produce or threaten lameness, in
which case the plan of shoeing mentioned
must be desisted from, and we must put up
with the noise to avoid the greater evil.
When square toed shoe fails in preventing
clicking, it will sometimes happen that a
shoe pointed at the toe will succeed; which
no doubt arises from the circumstance that
the shoe having so small surface to come
in contact, fails to strike the fore shoe and
goes within or Dy the side of it.-Live

Early Garden Vegetables.

The prices that early vegetables COM
mand in country villages and particularly
in larger towns are often double those OBJ
tanned at wholesale in large cities, as such
markets often become glutted with vegeta-
bles and small fruits which have to be sold
very low. Now, farmers can grow mod
crate supply of early vegetables almost
anywhere, and get good prices for Them
The "Scientific Farmer" says: cit is to
be wondered at that SO few farmers with
ample facilities, in the vicinity of large
towns, engage in early garden crops. They
say it is no use competing with the large
gardeners whose products find their way
to the inland towns, and so lay on their
oars and let the trade go by them. Now
we know from experience this is false
We have repeatedly carried early beets,
peas, squash, ETC., into a little town not
25 miles from Boston on the line of rail-
road, and sold them at higher price than
the regular gardeners received. Why? Be-
cause our produce was fresh and palatable
and not the leavings of the city stalls as
much of that sent to inland towns is. A
few crops, like those named and sweet
corn, late cabbage, rhubarb, caulihowers,
IA few and perhaps some others, we know
can be grown with profit. The rest the
farmer hrd best leave to the gardener"

Brief Hints.

Get all your harvest tools ready without
delay, don't wait till you want to use
them.
Run the cultivator through your corn
and potatoes once a week-it will pay.
Eternal vigilance against the bugs is the
price to pay for grood crop of potatoes
this season.
Cut your clover early, it makes better
hay than when cut late.
June is the month for planting sugar
beets and bagas. See that your poultry
have plenty of pure water during this hot
weather-they will take drink every hour
if it is within their reach, and thank you
in the bargain.
Cut fresh grass and weeds every day and
throw to your pigs-unless they are run
ming at pasture.
Trim your fruit trees this month.
Destroy caterpillar webs at their first APP
pearance-they can be easily kept under
by taking them in time.
Mulch newly planted trees.
Rose slugs are makiug their appearance,
give them whale oil soap-suds.
Fight weeds first, last and all the time
no cessation of hostilities with this Sleep
less enemy of the farmer.
Whole corn is not good summer feed
for poultry.

Combination with CoaI-tar Colors.

Investigations appear to show that the
unhealthfulness of wearing apparel that
has any combination with coal-tar colors,
is due TO the fact that the agents employed
in the preparation of aniline colors are, in
many instances, deleterious, among these
being the compounds of arsenic, zinc tin,
antimony, lead, together with hydrochlor-
ic and picric acids. Tho common or in
ferior colors prepared from residues are
pronounced especially dangerous, but are,
nevertheless, on account of their cheap
ness, largely employed in coloring paper
hangings, wooden toys, matches, India
rubber articles, confectionery, &. In the
dyeing of wooden and other tissues the
common aniline colors are also extensively
used, and sewing operatives frequently suf-
fer from the presence of arsenic and picric
acid to these materials. The fingers be-
come in1amed and dotted with small pim-
pies upon red ground-appearing after a
while on the face-the lips become of a
deep purple or violet color, the hands and
feet tremble, the pulse accelerates, and res
piration is difficult.
