In reply to an inquiry in the New
York Times, whether there was any
cure for overreaching in horses, the
editor replies as follows:
"To prevent overreaching, which is
the habit of striking the heel of the
fore foot with the toe of the hind foot
when either trotting or walking, shorten
the toe and increase the weight of the
fore.shoes also, have no calks on them.
This enables the horse to pick up the
fore-feet quickly and throw them out
well in front; and the absence of the
heel calks prevents the striking of the
hind toe upon them. The hind shoe
should be made short in the toe"
This reply is wholly contrary to our
own ideas and experience. 1t is in fact
just the reverse of the truth. The sug-
gestions will produce overreaching not
cure it. How can increasing the weight
of the front shoes cause the foot to be
raised more quickly and If the shorten
ing of the toe will have that effect,
will not the shortening of the toe of the
hind shoe counteractthis ? Most as
suredly.
A sure way of removing this unpleas-
ant failing in the movement of a horse
in majority of cases, is to shorten the
toe of the front shoes and lengthen the
toe of the hind shoes. BY this arrange
ment the horse will pick up his forefeet
quicker, and the hind feet slower, thus
accomplishing just what is wanted. If
a quarter of a second of time is thereby
gained, the forefoot will be clear out of
the way of the hind foot with its elon-
gated toe.
We once owned valuable horse once
subject to overreaching. He was taken
in hand by several experienced shoers,
and every one adopted the erroneous
method recommended by our New York
contemporary. Being in the stable one
day, we sat down upon chair, after ex-
amining the shoes, to devise some way
to cure the animal of this defect; and
the conclusion we arrived at led to in
sistiing upon the shoer following our
instructions, the result of which was
complete success. Now and then new
shoer would be aware of this overreach-
ing and would shoe in the old way,
when the overreaching was as bad as
ever, until the shoes were removed. We
had another horse cured in the same
way, as had at that time many other
persons. Indeed, we have never known
this method to fail when properly fol-
lowed.

ca The first thing to observe, in judg-
ing of horse, so far as his back is con-
cerned is the length of it. A long back
is weak back the world ever, and in
every instance. BY superior excellence
of structure in other respects the weak
ssof the back may be, i'm some measure
made up; but the horse can never be the
horse he would have been had his back
been a short one. We do not care how
short horses back is; for it is a sure
evidence that he can carry or drag a
heavy weight great distance and not
tire; neither if he be speedy, will two or
three seasons of turf experience break
him down, as is the case with so many
of our speedy, long backed horses.

To Sweeten the Breath and Cleanse tn
Teeth.

Always clean the teeth at night just
before retiring, for particles of food
collect between the teeth during the day,
and if left their all night will decay,
causing the breath to become offensive
and also prove very injuries to the teeth.
Scrub the teeth with hard brush using
little, if any soap; sprinkle on little
powdered boraX one pinch will do)
until the gums are hardened and become
accustomed to it; rinse the mouth often
with borax water; it will prevent it
from becoming sore or tender. If arti-
fetal teeth are worn, cleanse them
thoroughly with borax, and when con-
venient let them remain in borax water
every night if possible j it will purify
them and help to sweeten the breath.
