Shooting the Horse.

A MATTER of particular interest to
the horse and his owner is the manner
of shooting. Horse-shoeing, like every
other trade or business, has men en-
gagged in it who if they are not better
fitted for anything else, are certainly
good for nothing. As it cannot be ex-
pected that the sheer can always be de-
pended on, and as we are as likely as
not to strike one who cannot be, the
very first time the horse is taken to be
shod, every horse owner should know
generally how horse should be shod,
and should then demand that it should
be properly done, so far as his knowl-
edge can dictate. The Rev. w. H. H.
Murray, who is fully as we'll posted on
the horse as he is on theology, says this
about shoeing the horse:
We have frequently referred to the
correct principle of horse-shoeing; but
there are many matters of detail that,
if overlooked, will spoil the best of
principles ever laid down. The nails
should be quite small, and driven in
more gently than is the custom. There
is no reason why the smith should strike
blow at the little nail-head as strong
as he would deliver at the head of a
spike in an oak-beam. The hoof of the
horse is not an oak-stick, and the deli
cately-pointed and slenderly-headed
nail is not wrought-iron spike; and
yet you will see the mailer whack away
a. them as if it was a matter of life and
death to get them entirely set in at two
blows of his hammer. Insist that the
mailer shall drive his nails slowly and
steadily, instead of using violence. In
this case, if his nail is badly pointed
and gets out of the proper line of di-
rcction, no great injury is done. 1t
can be withdrawn, and new one sub
stituted without harm having been done
the foot. But the swift, blind and vio-
lent way prevents all such care, and
exposes the horse to temporary if not
permanent injury.
Gentleness should be exercised in
clinching the nail. Never allow a
smith to touch rasp to the outer sur
face of the hoof. Nature has covered
it with thin filiment of enamel. the
object of which is to protect the inner
membrance and fiber from exposure to
water or atmosphere. This enamel is
exactly what Nature puts onto the sur
face of your finger-nail, reader. Under
no circumstances should it ever be
touched. If it is removed, Nature will
be wickedly deprived of her needed
covering, and cruelty left exposed to
the elements.
1t will be great service to the smith,
and wise measure of assurance for
yourself, to insist also that he use only
the best nails; that is, nail made in
the right way from the best material.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

BE shy of patent, high-priced imple-
ments of all kinds.-Ios0a State Reg
lister.
CURRANr ICE.-Boil down three pints
of water and a pound and half Of SUI
gar to one quart; skim, add two cups of
currant juice, and when partly frozen
add the whites of five eggs.
STEAMED PUDDING.-Two eggs, one
cup sugar, one cup sour milk, one cup
fruit, one tablespoon soda, and thicken
with flour rather thicker than cake;
steam one hour and half.
In Prussia it is said the potato is
cultivated with peculiar success. As
the stocks grows, the earth is heaped
up, leaving only three leaves at the
top; roots are thus greatly increased,
while the produce is said to be aston
ishing.
A DAINTY DIsH.-Take pieces of cold
meats OF, any kind, chop fine, season
with pepper and salt, just a little on
ion; break over the meat two or three
eggs; add small piece of butter; stir
all together; pour it upon nicely but
tered toast; serve hot; garnish with
parsley.--N. Y. Times.

ent has known speedy relief to be given
to several hundreds of choking cows by
throwing u tablespoonful of saltpeter

obstruction-invariably in his expe-
rience-moves one way or the other in
a very few minutes.
The roots of clover have natural
tendency to decompose after having
produced the plant in perfection, and
it is the effect of this decomposition
that renders crop of clover so good q
preparation for the growth of wheat.
Decay ever furnishes regenerative food,
while the roots pierce and divide the
soil, loosening the ground.
GREEN PEAsE.-One would scarcely
think that a few hours standing could
make such difference as it does in the
flavor of green pease. Those who are
obliged to buy them, or 90 without,
must submit to losing some of the
sweetness and delicious flavor, but those
who raise them frequently suffer quite
as much loss through ignorance or
carelessness. 1t should be remembered
that each hour that elapses between the
picking and cooking of green pease
detracts from their quality. Another
error which people often make is wash
ing them after Smelling, instead of be-
fore. If they are clean to begin with,
and are properly handled, there will be
no occasion for deluging with water
and soaking the sweetness and flavor
away from the contents of so dainty a
covering as they rejoice in. Pease
should be picked. washed and shelled
only as short time as possible before
cooking; if the shelling cannot be con-
veniently delayed until a late hour,
cover them with some of the pods until
wanted, then throw them into Just
enough boiling water to cook, and COW
er lightly with the pods. When they
have cooked twenty minutes remove
the latter, and put into the saucepan a
very little sugar, spoonful of butter,
pepper and salt TO taste, and some
sweet cream, or in lieu of the latter use
rich milk with very little corn starch
dissolved in it.

Government Receipts and Expenditures
for Two Years.

A RECENT Washington special to the
New York Times furnishes the follow
ing financial statistics:
The figures given below are compiled
from the books of the Treasury De-
partment, and show in detail the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year endingJune 80,
1878, compared with the receipts and
expenditures for the preceding fiscal
year. The figures given for the quarter
ending June 80 last are those reported
to the Treasury Department to july 1.
Until final statements can be received
from financial agents and disbursing
officers located at remote sections of
the country, the exact balances for the
quarter cannot be stated. The final
reports will not materially affect the
general results given in the accompa-
NVing tables:

Flowers and Forests.

THE following paper from George
May Powell, Chairman of the Forest
Committee, was read at recent meet
ing of the American Institute in New
York:
The subjects of Flowers and of For
ests are germane to each other. We
cannot cultivate interest in one without
aiding both. Promotion of either of
these interests has very powerful ten.
dency to
wake the better soul that slumbers.'
A "grand old master" of music once
showed us by drawing his bow over
"perfect chords of his violin, how,
when such chords are struck on any
string, all the other strings vibrate. He
ran over the scale in all the range of
the instrument to prove this beautiful
wonder in the realm of music, and
wherever "perfect chord'' was
struck on any string, all its mates were
strangely tremulous though untouched
by aught that was material. This
phenomenon is type of great truth
running through all the kingdoms of
ethics and of esthetics. Therefore
teach the people to plant trees and they
thereby learn to plant flowers. Teach
them to plant flowers and they learn
thereby to plant trees. Great move
ments often have seemingly small be-
ginnings. Florence Nightingale picked
a leaf from a rosebud in her hand and
gave it to pale suffering one in hos
pital. Others plead eagerly each for
another leaf. This was the beginning
of the thrice blessed Flower Missions
which have done and are doing an
amount of good which it is simply inn
possible to compute. In unnumbered
cases the little simple bunch of flowers
given to a sick one in hospital or in
tenement house, has been the spark of
cheer that has lit the mines of courage
and hope. Thus it may be many u
precious life has been very literally
given back to dear ones to bless them
and to bless the world.
1t has been well said that "A thing
of beauty is Joy forever" Outlines
this truth would be very practically in
tensified by so changing the words that
they would read: ga thing of life and
beauty is JOY forever" Very often
towering plant or little trailing vine
alive and growing in vase of mother
earth will cost less than bunch of
flowers from the dollhouse, which, with
the best of tender care, can last but a
few hours, or, at farthest, a few days.
The latter soon becomes reminder of
withered hopes. Theformer continues
as an earnest of a renewed and better
life in this world, and it may be the
next also. We cordially commend this
thought to the Flower Missions and to
all their friends. Most earnestly do we
commend it likewise to the people for
the benefit of their own homes all over
the land. More flowers in and around
the homes of the people on mountain
and prairie, as well as in the towns and
cities. More flowers in the homes of
the people everywhere. Plant them,
mothers, and wives, and sisters, and
you plant allies of happiness and of
morality for your own good and for the
good of those who are dearer to you
than your own lives.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The Jewish population of the United
States is $4,000. They have 1872 syn
agogues.
The magnificent new railway bridge
over the River Tay, in Scotland, cost
about 81, 100000.
The London Institution of Civil En-
gineers has 2,8O8 members, beside a
class of 500 members.
In Great Britain there are 1900
women telegraph operators, who earn
from $5 to 81 a week.
THERE are enough houses in Wash
ington to accommodate $50. 900 people,
and only two-thirds that number to put
in them.
THE exact cost of the construction of
the Paris Exhibition buildings and
grounds is now estimated at 1890, 900
francs, or $9,O6O,OOO.
The new census gives the population
of Auckland, New Zealand, and SUBJ
urbs as "a, 1922, an increase of 5.64O
during the past four years.
The exports of Canada in poultry,
eggs, breeding and exhibition stock
considerably exceeds half million
annually, and is steadily increasing.
The annual report of the British Mu-
scum, just issued, states that it was Wis
tied, during the past year, by 69O,511
people, of whom the readers were 49,
594.
SANGUINE Texans are of the opinion
that the next census will show popu-
lation of three millions in that State.
This would make it the third State in
population.
THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-sIx new
wells were completed in the Bradford
oil regions, in Pennsylvania, during the
month of May, yielding $3.50 barrels
per day. The wells completed cost, on
an average, $500 apiece.
IT is computed that the grain used
for liquors in year in the United
States reached 7O,OOO,OOO bushels,
which would make 1850, OCO, 900 four
pound loaves of bread. Great Britain
uses $4,000, 900 bushels of grain yearly
for the same purpose, and annually
imports food to the value of nearly
$500, 100000.

trust judgment; trust knowledge and
observation, but leave intuition to
those who are fond of being betrayed

Interest OF the public debt is included
in the above table. 1t will be noticed
that the expenditures for the year end
ing June 30, 1876, were nearly equal to
the aggregate receipts for the last fiscal
year. If the $40, 900 received from
the Geneva award, and which were
covered into the Treasury in 1877, be
deducted from the receipts for that
year, the receipts for the twelve months
ending June 80, 1873, will be very little
short of those received from regular
sources during 1877.

Mr.. Sarsaper's Refrigerator.

A COUPLE of weeks ago Mr.. Sarsaper
told his wife one morning that he had
got about tired CT buttering his bread
with spoon, and so that day he sent
home refrigerator. 1t was a beauty,
and he felt proud of it, so much SO that
he had a good deal to say about it at
the store. 5sE

"but then it takes very little. It's an

About two o'clock one morning last

of the slumber that always keeps COM

wife poking him in the ribs, and calling
on him to hustle out and see what the
matter was. The door bell was iingling
like all possessed.
Mr.. Sarsaper crawled out of bed, and
after banging his nose on the door-post
till the blood started. giving himself a
black eye against the corner of the
mantle, and falling down over pretty
much everything in the room, he finally
made his way to the front part of the
