Cheap and Easy Drainaxe.

There is in use in some parts of the coun-
try very cheap and practical method of I'M
derdrainage, which farmers properly circum-
stanced can employ to advantage, but which
is seldom mentioned in the agricultural pa
pers. The plan is most effectually adopted
wherever, at depth OF few or perhaps sew
eral feet, a stratum of clay or hard-pan,
through which water will not penetrate, over
lies gravel or other porous substance, when,
If shaft is dug through the clay formation
and into the gravel or sand below it, vast
amount of water will find natural subter-
ranean and perfect outlet at a very light ex-
pense. Several members have stated at the
Batavia Farmers Club that in instances
where they found low place on their land,
where water was inclined to stand, they, in a
dry time dug hole as for a well down
through this clay. then filled the hole with
any refuse stone and removed the excavated
earth so as to let the drainage into this pit,
and after that no water was ever seen stand
ing there any more. The same plan was
practiced in Batavia village, where, on Main
street water in wet times had flooded the
surface for rods, and it was thought to be a
difficult and expensive job to properly dram
1t away; but as the corporation extended it
chose for street COM issloner farmer who
had practiced the method described and he
had hole sunk at the lowest point on each
side OF the street, which, after filling with
stone and leveling, secured the perfect drain
age desired. Thus, at an expense of few
dollars only, was obtained result which it
might easily have cost few hundred dollars
to have effected in any other way.

A Woman's View of Making Butter.

Farmer about butter making, with a great
deal of interest, as l always do, though I
donot suppose they were written at all tor the

nothing of swater seals'', "air ducts" or
s'Hardin's boxes" who have not even ice
houses or that "worst of all milk houses, the
bottom OF spring at the bottom of hill -
but who, with diaries of from three to five or
six cows, are furnishing large part of the
butter used in this country.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
H0rse-ShOeing.

TO fit shoe properly, it ought to be made
perfectly fiat on the anvil, the foot surface
having been rendered as smooth as possible:
in this state it may be applied hot, though
not red hot, to the foot, for few seconds,
when the parts that are above the level are
affected by the heat, and should be reduced.
Some persons object to the application of the
hot shoe to the foot, but their grounds for
objections are more imaginary than real. If
the shoe be not too hot or too long applied.
we can see no evil likely to follow. and Il
certainly enables the smith to get a GOOD
bearing for the shoe. The circumference of
the shoe ought to correspond exactly with
That OF the loot; for the want OF which it
often happens that much horn is unnecessa-
rly cut away, and the natural shape of the
hoof destroyed. The shoes should bear
lightly on the heels, particularly on the in
side OF the fore feet, and should extend about
third of its width outside the horn at this
part, SO as to allow for the expansion and the
growth OF the foot. In the hind feet care
must be taken that the shoe does not project
beyond the crust on the inside, but should be
ratner Kept within it, so as to avoid cutting
or interfering.
However well shoe might have been
ntted, 1t will not answer its purpose, unless
properly nailed on. There is a great differ
ence in this respect, even in men that have
had the same opportunities. A bungling
hand will perhaps nail the shoe on, however
well fitted, with one heel too much without,
and the other too much within the crust; IN
driving his nails he may make several at
tempts at each nail before he succeeds, thus
perforating the crust unnecessarily, and
weakening it considerably; or he may drive
the nails too high up, so that they are alto
gether buried in the crust; or too near the
sensitive part, so as to occasion lameness: or
he may fasten the shoe on so insecurity that
1t comes off in short time; or he may nail
it on with such force (draw it too tight SO as
to lame the horse. A good sheer avoids all
these faults, mailing on the shoe firmly, ex-
peditiously, and cautiously; and he exhibits
superiority to the bungler both in the head
and the hand, and we doubt not, possesses
in the latter frmer sensation of touch.
These remarks are written for the purpose of
guiding the reader in the selection of a prop
er blacksmith. Prairie Farmer.
