Common Sense in rse-ShOeing-

Common Sense in HOrse-Shoeing.-
Usually needless amount of the hoof
is pared away. In perfect foot all
that should be cut off is the lower sur
face on which the shoe is to rest. Some
times, to render the tread level, one
side wants cutting away more than the
other, and often there is excessive
growth at the toe, and somewhat at the
heel, which excess should be cut away
The shoe should be fitted on the foot,
and not the foot to the shoe, as is usu-
ally done. A healthy frog should never
be interfered with. The purpose of the
frog is to mitigate the jarring produced
by the bring of the feet to the ground.
There is no harm, however, in removing
the shreds from it.

Protecting Young Pigs.-A letter
from Paris says that many plans have
been tried to prevent sows from devour-
ing their young; the mothers voracity
is due to the pain the young infict on
her when first commencing to suckle,
for they are Uttered with milk teeth,
and the latter, often not being suffi-
GENTLY distant from one another, the
teat is thus bitten. In France, the milk
teeth are extracted from the jaw, 50 the
mother, not being wounded, does not be-
come furious. Another pan is to rub
the young with gin, and also the moth
er's snout; the odor will ward off her at
tacks. Or pour into her ear at the mo-
ment of littering, some drops of mix
ture composed of two parts of tincture
of opium and fifteen of camphored al
cohol; this will cause sleep, and when
she awakens the young will have taken
possession each of its teat, and the first
nips" will be forgotten.

Soil Texture.-Somebody has said
that the texture of soil, and the proper
ton of the earth of which it is COM
posed are the first and most important
condition of its productive powers.
When there is good natural loan which
retains moisture without becoming wet
or overcharged with it, and permits the
influence of the atmospheric air to per-
wade it, the crops cannot fail to be more
certain and remunerative than in loose
sand or tenacious clays, however rich
they may be in those elements which
are supposed to supply the elements
from which the juices of plants are
chiefly composed. These are facts we'll
worth remembering, and they point
clearly to the advantages to be derived
from an application of sand to heavy
retensive soils, or of clay to a light
sandy one. While such admixtures are
not, of course, always practicable, and
in many cases would prove more costly
than profitable, there are in almost every
farmers experience, circumstances un-
der which they could be made to ad-
vantage.

TOPICS For FARMERS,
The yalue of Cow.Dunp.-Farm

The Value of COw-Dung-Farmer
are apt to undervalue the dung that is
made or can be made from their cattle.
1t has often been estimated that COW
produces forty pounds of excrement and
stabbed, or yarded, and well fed. Let
us see what the value of these excre-
ments are when both are saved. When
cattle are we'll bedded, the most of the
urine is absorbed by the bedding, and
those who are accostumed to clean
stables, / think, will admit that in
twenty-four hours what dung is re-
moved from each cow, with the saturated
straw, is not less than fifty pounds,
amounting in 365 days to Is, $50 pounds.
When this dung is thrown into a heap
in the yard, and exposed to the rains,
which are benefit if the heaps are
made compact, the weight increases, say
one-third, making the weight when used
on crops %, 333 pounds, or about twelve
two-horse wagon loads, and worth to any
farmer not less than twenty-four dollars
This, claim, is fair valuation of the
manure of COW in year, when kept
stabbed or yarded, where all her excre-
ments can be saved and which may be
saved on the soiling or green feed plan.
But these estimates are below, perhaps,
what they ought to be, as no farmer,
probably, would be willing tosell all the
manure made from a COW or an OK from
November to May for less than twenty
dollars, because he could not replace it
for less money, and it would be worth
that sum to use on his farm. In brief,
the manure of COW will about pay for
her feed, unless highly fed, ETC., and in
that case its value is much increased, as
the real value of the manure depends
on the quality of feed given to animals.

REMEMBER NE WHEN FAR
AWAY.

Bright Phubus with his golden rays
Was sinking meath the western trees,
And pleasant zephyrs pure and cool
Famed sweetly in gentle breeze.
Twas in the arbor, there we sat,
Her hand i'll mine impressive lay
As motto on my heart she placed
Remember me when far away"
Though since I've wandered far and wide
Ger mountains high, and oceans foam,
Yet ne'er can forget that scene
The eve before 1 took to roam.
It's many year has passed since then
And many friendship seen decay,
Yet on my heart the motto's firm,
Remember me when far away"
And still, whate'er my lot shall be,
Where'er these weary feet may tread
Until life's lamp shall cease to burn
And lie numbered with the dead,
Till then, as DER lifes troubled sea
sail along day after day,
The motto still my heart shall crown,
Remember me when far away
And when Deaths hand shall lay me low,
If strangers gather round my bier,
know they will not mourn me dead
Or shed DER me one loving tear
But o! the comfort it would give,
How sweet would rest the peaceful clay,
If one voice whispered DER the waves,
He remembered me when far away.

Four romantic girls sat together in
pleasant parlor one day. They were all
country girls, and it so happened that they
were soon to part. One said: "And proba-

"You may" said the tallest Of the group,
a black-eyed, very handsome girl, "but l

one but distinguished mana man of

talents. l don't think l shall ever meet
any one quite distinguished enough to suit

"What l should care for" said the girl
who sat next to her, a blue-eyed morsal of
a creature, "would be height. l must have
a very tall man."
"And l should only be contented with a
man who was very handsome" said another,

"All should desire would be that my
