HORSE MrsaINe .-0n Monday morning last,
Mr.. John Beaumont, a farmer fssiding near
BfowSsburgD found that he was minus hir-
ed man, and one Of the finest horses of his
stable, together with blind-bride. The
absence Of his animal under such circumstan-
ces, awakened the suspicion that it had been
stolen. The Horse Company. of which Mr..
b. is member, was notified, and a general
search instituted. About ono o'clock in the
afternoon of the same day, however, the ami
NAL was found quietly grazing by the road
side, near Buckmanville, and taken home ;ahd
the pursuers recalled. The hired man, we
are told, was tramp who engaged his service
es on the farm a few weeks since, and true to
his nature desired to ride away from hard
work. He succeeded In getting off.

hoof is coated with it, will soften the horn
and prevent its drying.
Excessive dryness of the frog leads to
contraction. The frog is n spongy sub
stance half way between horn and flesh,
which acts like a sponge to hold moisture
and keep the foot in order. The frog
should not be kept away from the ground
but should always come down to it, in or
der that it may gather moisture. 1t should
not be pared away, nor should the shoe be
permitted to cover or encroach upon it.
The condition of the frog and hoof in
cases of contraction may be much helped
by packing the bottom of the foot with a
mixture of oil meal moistened with pine
tar. This will stay in some time, in the
stable. If the horse must be used, the
packing may still be retained by strips OF
sheet-iron, sprung under the shoe. The
packing should be kept up till the frog
looses its scaly and dried appearance and
the bottom of the foot looks sound, dark
and healthy. In abiding to shoeing, the
lecturer remarked upon the frequent abuse
of horses foot by faulty pairing. The
heel is so much softer than the toe that
blacksmiths are apt to pare down the heels
too much and to leave the toe not suffi-
GENTLY trimmed. This should be avoided.

CONTRACTION OF THE HOOP.

A not infrequent cause of founder is
contraction of the hoof. The horses foot
is an elastic structure to which the horny
envelope affords an elastic and compress
iblc covering and protection like that of
the nail to the human finger. The hoof
contains more or less moisture-and if it
becomes unnaturally dried will shrink and
harden, like n dried and shrunken boot
The contraction congresses the lamin@
within, and produces Inflammation which
may result in one kind of founder, OF in
several other diseases, to be hereafter
mentioned.
This drying of the heof is likely to take
place in an unusually dry time in summer,
or from long standing on IL dry stable floor
in winter. 1t is to be remembered that
nature never puts the horse in II dry floor
with dry air circulating around the hool
through the cracks. In II wet time OF
when the horse is out at pasture, there is
no trouble from contraction. But when
your wagon wheels are shrinking and tires
and spokes rafting, in Il long dry time,
then look out for your horses feet.
Blacksmith's often occasion this trouble
by application of hot shoes to the hoof. 1t
is cheap way to make the shoe fit to let it
burn Il place for itself; but it exhausts the
moisture in the horn and contracts the
hoof and should never he permitted. The
contraction may sometimes appear on one
side or the other of the hoof-s showing it.
self by n following of the hoof on that
side. This commonly indicates that the
foot is lifted too high on one side by the
shoe or calk. Moisten the hoof and set
the shoe. SO that the foot shall stand square
and right and the trouble will disappear.
There are various popular remedies for
contracted hoof. One is human urine--a
cheap but poor liniment. Another is salt
and water which may help for u time
but it is likely in the end To increase the
trouble us the salt is drying in its charac-
ter. Pure rain water is the best appica-
ton. Shower the feet when dry, or let
the horse stand in moist place. Moist
ure promotes the growth OF the horn and
we see the results of it in excessive growth
of the toe in COWS and sheep, and in foot
rot in the latter. 1t should be clean m0is-
ture. 70 stand on fermented manure is
not good for the foot.
There is IN ointment, recommended by
Prof. Gamgee, which is good to prevent
evaporation, made of equal parts Of sweet
oil, pine, tar and mutton tallow, to which
little bees wax may be added if it is de-
sirable to make it harder. This, if the

SOME POINTS IN GRAFTING.-As the sea.
sen of grating is now approaching, every
one who is in possession of healthy fruit
trees should see that they are of the varie-
ty which he desires to have. Cuttings OIL
scions of stone fruits should be secured
early, while the buds are yet dormant, but
apple and pear can be cut and placed in
other trees any time before the leaf opens
The scions should be kept in damp sand OF
sawdust to prevent drying up; they will
thus if cut early, keep good several months
In grating, limbs should he cut from
three-fourths to one and one-half inches
in thickness. Cut off where clear spill
can be made. The scions (of last years
growth) should be cut in lengths of two OF
three buds, one bud being at or near the
top of the shaped cut on the scion inserted
Split the sawed stump to the best advan

THE LITTLE BEAR.-The Little Bear is
small but most interesting constellation; l
do not think that the Little Bear llAe
the larger one, was so named because OF
any imagined resemblance TO bear. Inc
original constellation of the Great Bear
was much older than that of the Little
Bear, and so many different nations agreed
in comparing the group to BEAR Ihi'C
there must have been real resemblance
to that animal in the constellation as nrsC
figured. Later, when star-maps came 10
be arranged by astronomers who had new
er seen bears, they supposed the three
bright stars forming the handle OF the APP
per to represent the tail of the BEAR
though the bear is not lOng-tailed AMI
NAL They thus set three stars for the
bears tail, and the quadrangle OF stars
forming the dipper for the bears body. IL
was not formed by fanciful folks in the
childhood OF the world, but by astrono-
mers Yet it must not be imagined tnaI
the constellation is a modern one. IL not
only belongs to old Ptolemy's list, but is
mentioned by Aratus, who borrowed ms
astronomy from Eudoxus, who " hourl sno
ed - Gas the school books call iD about SOY
years before the Christian era. 1t is said
that Thales formed the constellation, IN
which case it must have reached the re-
spectacle age of about $500 years.
But if the Little Bear is not II very tlne
animal, it is most useful constellation
From the time when the Ph9nicians were
as celebrated merchant seamen as the We
netians afterward became, and rs the Eng
disappearing nations now are, TINS star-
group has been the cynosure OF every
sailors regard. In fact, the word "cyno-
sure " was originally name given either
to the whole of this constellation or to u
part of it. Cynosure has become quite u
poetcal expression in our time, but 1t lit
orally means the dogs tail"
Admiral Smythe gives some particulars
about the two stars in the Little Bear call
ed the guardians of the pole" " Rec,
orde tells us" he says, in the Castle OF
knowledge, nearly three hundred years
ago, that navigators used two pointers IN
Ursa-' which many do call the Shalle'
and others do name the Guardas, after the
Spanish tonge.' Richard Eden, in 1884,
published his Arte of navigation and
therein he gave rules for the 'starreS'
among which are special directions for the
two called the guards, in the mouth OF the
horne MS the figure was called" (Ihe
polc-star would mark the small end OF the
horn.) " How often" says Hervey, in his
Meditations," have these stars beamed
bright intelligence on the sailor, and have
conducted the keel to its destined haven't! "
