draw parallel lines Of equal length, so that
the space between the two outer lines will
be $50 yards and 4 inches, until 1t touches
the end of the outer, and then describe
with the extreme end of the cord an outer

Ah," he continued, ~ contemplate a

mere sprats 10 catch gudgeops. Oar press

which is to obtain the news of the day.
This is the vital principle, the en- d and

FARRTERY,

Will you tell me when the first iron horse
shoe was made and who made it.?
Answer.-Where or when the a. st shoe
was set upon hose it is impossible to say
The date is probably very ancient. The
earliest shoes worn by horses were probably
plates OF iron, having a similar shape to our
present horse shoes, which were invented
by Coleman, but covered much larger por-
ton of the hoof. This nece STATED p,-
ring away of both crust and sole when the
shoes were reset. So far as We are aware
the most rational system of horse shosing
ever proposed is that invented by Mr.. Good
enough and known M the Goodenougn sys-
tenn. 1t has for several years been exsep
sively in use on the street car lines omni-
buses, express companies, etc., of New
York, Brooklyn and several ether places.
1t is said to cure all the Affections the feet
OF horses are subject to, and give horses al.
most uniformly sound feet The shoe il
applied by cutting out a seating for it, leav
ing the sole and frog as exposed as posi- :.
BILE, and never applying the knife TO either.
1t is light, has five calks or bearings, a low.
or surface similar to the edge of the natural
foot; is beveled on both surfaces, the mai
holes are eouutersunk az l the sh oss ar ap-

Don't Pound Your Steak.
Golden Rule,

~
We hear great deal about that abom-
ination called fried steak" will tell you
how to make tough steak tender, and how
to fry it SO it will be JUICY. Do not pound
1t with either rolling pin or potato
smasher or even with that Jagged piece of
metal or crockery ware which house-fur-
nisting dealers will try and delude you in
to bnying. II you pound it you will only
batter it's fibIes and lot out all it's juices.
Pour into the bottom OF dish three table,
spoonfuls each of vinegar and salad oil,
sprinkle on. them half a salt spoonful of
pepper. Do not use any salt. The action
of the oil and vinegar will be to soften and
disintegrate the tough fibres Of the meat
without drawing out its juices. The salt
would do that most effectually and harden
the fibre beside. You may add . teaspoon
full of chopped onions il you like its flavor.
Lay the steak on the OF and vinegar for 8
or hours, turning it over every half hour,
and then half fry it quickly. Season 1t with
salt after 1t ID cooked, and serve it with
very little fresh butter, or with the gravy
from the frying pan. If You follow these
directions and do not try to improve upon
them, you can have tender ste axis hereafter
at will. bas
