CONTRACTION OF THE HOOP.

The following is from the report of q
lecture delivered at the University of
Vermont by DIR. N. Greasy of Amherst,
Mass:
IA not infrequent case of founder is
contraction of the hoof. Tho horses
foot is an elastic structure, to which the
horny cnvclop affords an elastic and
compressible covering and protection,
like that of the nail to the human flng-
er. The hoof contains more or less
moisture, and If It becomes unnaturally
dry will shrink and harden, like a
dry and shrunken boot. The contrac-
ton congresses the lamin@ within, and
produces inflammation, which may result
In one kind Of founder, or in several
other diseases, to be hereafter men,
toned.
"This drying of the hoof is likely to
take place in an unusually dry time In
summer, or from long standing on o
dry stable floor in winter. 1t Is to be
remembered that nature never puts q
horse on dry floor with dry air circu-
lating around the hoof through the
cracks. In wet time or when the
horse IS out at pasture, there is 10
trouble from contraction. But when

American Cheese in Scotland.

The extent to which American cheese
is being imported into Ayrshire aud re-
tailed at prices greatly under the cost
of the home produce is beginning to
tell in way that was hardly anticipa-
led by dairy farmers in the coun ~.
Many of those farmers, it appears, still
find themselves in possession of the
bulk of cheese manufactured last sea-
son, with little prospect of getting it
disposed of at anything like the figure
they have been in the habit of realizing.
The result of this is that not few of
them have been compelled to abandon
the making of cheese for the present.
This, again, has had the effect of in
creasing the supply of butter and milk
in the country SO enormously that these
commodities are selling at prices I'M
known during the last decade. Last
week fresh butter of the best quality
was quoted in The market of the county
town at eight and one-half cents per
pound, or less than half the price for
which 1t sold at the corresponding date
of last year. The reduction per gallon
in the price of milk resulting from the
increased competition induced by the
suspension of the cheese manufacture
would seem to be equally marked. For
Glasgow and other large towns the sup
ply available at present is far in excess
of the demand, and farmers are said to
be at their wits end in regard TO the
disposal of their milk. At almost any
hour of the day carts containing barrels
of milk may be seen in some parts of
Ayr in charge of persons endeavoring
to SECURE purchasers, but who not I'M

A New Cable.

have made all their arrangements for
laying their cable, and judging from
the programme, q revolution in sub.

Of cables. One powerful cable will
be laid from New York to mid-ocoan ;
there it will branch off to difeyW
European countries, saving the ned
sity of a number of cables and l3hd
lines, tho whole cost being $l5,000,000
Tor what would cost $50, 100000 by the
old method. BY the use of newly
invented instruments, a working speed
eight times greater than undor the old
system will ho obtained. The tariff
for messages will never exceed
twelve and a half cents a word,
and will probably be reduced
10 ten cents a word. With the
new instruments, the working ca
pacity of the cables between each OF
the FIVE countries with which the
company connects will be from l25 to
100 words a minute, and it is expect
ed that the number Of words annually
dispatched will be 60,0O0,000 instead
Of 5000, 900, as at present, by existing

FALL RIVER.
The Strike Not at an End Yet.

FALL RIVER, June 27.-The mills
are running this morning with the
exception of the Narragansett's which
shut down yesterday. Some of the
mills gained a few spinners to-day;
others lost. There is no intimida-
ton or violence, but the manufac-
turers say threats have been made and
a number of men at work yesterday
are out to-day through fear.
The men who came here have been
returned by the spinners. All watched
and imported help were solicited to
return. A company Of spinners this
morning waited on the mayor, asking
that the extra police be withdrawn
from the streets and kept at the sta
ton, where they could readily be
called in case they were needed. The
mayor said he should try to act as de-
sired by the party during the strike,
but would preserve order, and that
the extra police we're put on to pre-
vent a disturbance, and that the spin
ners would not be interfered with if
they preserved order.
