HoRsEs-CAUsE OF LAMENEss.-A
correspondent writes to all English
exchange:
1t is not changing the shoes often
enough that all the evils of corns,
foot-founders and ot-lafhe-ness ari-
ses.
From the moment that q shoe is
nailed on horses foot double ac-
tion begins.
l. The horses hoof grows down and
presses against the shoe.
2. The shoe is bent forcibly up
ward and presses against the hoof
1t is the double and daily increas
ing pressure that is the cause of foot
lameness and fever in the feet. OF
course violent hammering along hard
roads, particularly with unseasoned
horses will in time knock most
horses feet and legs to pieces; but
even here the double action heel and
shoe pressure is the means by which
the greatest injury is worked.
adopted many years ago the plan
of changing the shoes once every
fortnight New shoes are often not
wanted. All that is needed is to beat
out the shoes in the fire, and to make
n new bed pit on the horses foot. If
this plan be adopted, the shape of
the shoe, the number Of nails, the
manner in which the foot is prepared
for shooting is of minor importance.
The foot will have chance every
fifteen days of expanding into it's
natural form, the pressure which
causes ot-lameness will not occur,
and the horseman will find that few
ordinary smiths cannot be trusted to
shoe their horses with safety and
success.
My experience tells that if horse
is thoroughly well treated his hoofs
will often last longer than his teeth.
Sometime after they are thirty years
old the latter will often become so
very imperfect that the animal can
not nourish himself on the best ordi-
nary food. Perhaps on mashed and
steamed food he might go on to some
time longer, or if in France he might
be so fed for the hrose market.
have myself had several favorite
horses that had never been famed in
their lives during many years of hard
work but that failed in their teeth at
last.
believe that persons that shoe
their horses once mouth will expo
rience great difficulty in finding a
good shoeing smith. But those who
change the shoes once fortnight
will seldom meet a bad one.

FLOWER AND GARDEN LAWNS. The
lawn mower will need to be frequently
used and the corner and border kept
trimmed with a sickle If large
weeds start in the lawn they should
be removed, roots and all, before they
have had much growth. Give an oc-
casional hoeing and raking to the
walks and drives. Bedding plants
need much care at this time
as they grow rapidly and their at
Effectiveness is lost unless kept care
fully trimmed. If designs are at
tempted they will need especial care
or all the fine effect will be lost
Stakes must be provided for the
Dahlas, Gladioluses, etc. The least
noticeable of poles are the best, firmly
driven into the soil. All climbers
will need ample means Of support,
otherwise they will give very neg
lected and bad appearance.

DoN'T POSTPONE IT. If you have a

it promptly. Nothing is gained by
deferring dreaded piece of work.

of rich, sweet cream allow five eggs,
and sugar enough to sweeten to your
taste; cook in a pail or pan, set in a
kettle of hot water. When as thick
as for boiled custard take it out and
when cool flavor it. If you put the
flavoring extract in when the custard
is hot you will be obliged to use
much more. Let it get cold before
putting it into the freezer; you gain
no time by hurrying. Set the Gus
tard in the refrigerator or down in
the cellar, then pack ice and salt
around the freezer. Constant stir
ring is what gives the desired fine
grain to frozen cream. In peach time
quarters or slices of the fresh peaches
may be stirred in and frozen with
the cream. Pineapple is also used
in this way but cannot be recon-

The pretty muslin ties with silk
embroidered ends can be washed and
IN lde to look as good as new again.
Wash the muslin In quite strong
suds, holding the ends out of the
suds with your left hand, then when
the plain part is clean, get some fresh
water, make q weak suds and rinse
the whole tie in it, squeezing it in
your hand, not wringing it, then dip
the tie in cold water in which you
have put bit Of blueing and little
starch. Then lay the tie while wet
on a perfectly clean ironing board.
pin the ends out carefully just as
you wish it to look when dry. If the
ends are inclined to draw and will
not hang as you wish them to, then
take piece of flannel, double it and
lay the ends on that, and press light
" with rons that are just warm. The
ties are too pretty and cost too much
to be thrown away when soiled, hence
the experiments which led to these
results.

Coop OR BAD BUTTER.-It is singu-
lar how many people are indifferent
as to the class of butter they send to
market and it puzzles one to discover
the reason why. Is it because they
do not know how to make good ar
ticle or because they won't take the
trouble? In very many cases both
these apply, but the main cause, we
apprehend, arises from the fact that
in years past their husbands were in
the habit of running store bills from
one years end to another, and when
butter accumulated beyond home
wants it was sent to the store to be
credited on account for what the gro
cerynpan pleased to allow. And the
price allowed was generally the low
est, hence the indifference of the ma
ker as to it's quality and makeup.
But, be this the cause or not, it is
quite evident that the best goods
shipped to a good market always
command the highest price, price,
too, double and often treble what a
poor one will bring, hence the desira-
bility of making the best. 1t costs
but little more trouble to make, no
more money to ship and but little
more to sell, but in the course of a
year the difference is material. For in
stance, if person made for ship
ment only ten pounds per week, which
would be five hundred and twenty
pounds per annum, this at ten cents
! per pound would only realize $52,bnl

at twenty cents the same quantity
would realize over 800. But even
this price is small compared with
what may be, and is being secured
A little reading and thought on the
part of producers will enable them TO
make an article that will compare
with the best.

Pleasant Surprise.-The ladies of this place, to
the number of about twenty five, assisted by their
gentleman friends a few evenings ago entered the
study of Rev. w. L. D. GLENN in pell nell style and
astonshed that gentleman and family by taking
possession of the premises and turning things up
side down. They speedily converted the room in
to grocery and provision store, abundantly stock
ed with almost everything. The Rev. gentleman
acknowledged that he was in turn scared astonish-
ed and pleased at so unusual an occurrence, and
could with difficulty find words to express his
thanks to the fair dOLors. The affair was an ex-
ceedingly pleasant one. Mr. GLENN is trying to
decide whether he shall open wholesale retail
establishment.
Caught in the Act.-Within the past few days
there has been some commoton among our coored
friends here. Soloman Wright, very black but no
relation to King Solomon, (who, they say, was a
black man) decided to entertain some company
and in order to do he went into the cellar of Mr.
Samuel Millers store to get the necessary supplies.
In coming out he was sternly confronted by
young clerk who ordered him to disgorge or die
on the spot. And Solomon disgorged such articles
as bread, butter, lard, mackere &C., much to the
amusement of the lookers-on. He now occupies
parlor in "Fort Slade and will hold his reception
there.
Hon. he Got his Wood.-Another colored "gen-
tleman" supplied himself with Kindling wood the

Bourbon was accidentally left lying near the sta

taking reason able quantity for himself and also
treating some of his friends, all of whom pro-
nounced it very good. When the little game was
discovered the connosseur said "dem drunken
niggers couldn't keep dare moufs shet nohow."-
He also left for parts unknown.

Grand Jury Renor.

The Grand Jury for the March term of the Cir
cult Court adjourned finally on Thursday. The
report in substance is as follows: That they had
been in session IA days, Investigated AZ cases,
summoned LOG witnesses, found 81 true bills, dis
missed 81 cases, and recommended the discharge
of IL prisoners from Jail, besides one case (Lucy
Williams), reported to the court rs lunatic. The
report further states that committee paid visit
of inspection to the county Jail, finding the same
in a neat and clean condition; also, that the Grand
Jury in body visited the Jail, in connection with
the County Commissioners, whom they had invited,
and to whom they suggested that certain changes
be made in the soil pipes (nOw the cause of much
Just complaint.) That the Commissioners agreed
to make the changes, and have already placed the
work in the hands of workmen, which, when com
pleted, will add much to the comfort and health
of the JAIL The Sheriff and officers in charge ap-
pear to have performed their duty, no complaint
being made by the prisoners.
A committee examined the Treasurer's books,
and as far as their limited knowledge extended,
the work seemed we'll and faithfully done. eve
would at the same tme,' adds the report, "urge
that further safeguards be thrown around the
Treasurer's office, we may not always have
faithful officers. Perhaps such q system is
found working so well in the Collectors Office in

"Before closing our report, we desire to state
that much of our time has been occupied in the
examination of peace and petit larceny cases,
most of them of the most trfing charlottesville
number of cases dismissed plainly show-and, in
most cases. we failed to get the attendance of the

From Lutherville, N. G. R. R.

Funeral Of Judge Emory.-On Monday, the
21st instant, we laid to rest the mortal remains
of Hon. D. C. II. Emory. The funeral services
were held at his late residence Solitude" at
IL A. NJ, and were conducted by Rev. DIR. Nor
rs, of the Lutheran churh, who read selections Of
scripture and offered prayer. Rev. C. T. House,
the deceased pastor for the last year, spoke very
feengly and impressivey Of the life and christian
character of the Judge. Rev. DR.. A. Webster,
who was the pastor of deceased for many years at
St. Johns NJ. P. church, Liberty street, Baltimore,
made the closing address. The venerable DR..
dwelt more particularly upon the hope of the
christian in death, and comfort and consolation
afforded the living by knowing that our dead, who
die in the Lord, are safely and blissfully at rest
of our citizens of all classes and also by many of
the scholars of the NJ. Z. Sunday school, of which
the Judge was for many years the very efficient
superintendent. i noticed among the assemblage
quite number of the members of the Baltimore
county bar and officers Of the court. Judge
Emory was one of our oldest citizens-having To-
Gated here in 1854, year or two after Lutherville
was proeeted-and he is the first one of the old
citizens to pass away. As man he was pure,
kind, gentle and hospitable In the early history
of ''Lutherville Seminary" he gave annually an
entertainment to which all the scholars and teach
well villagers were bic, and doubtless many
of the earlier attendants at the Seminary remem-
Der well those festive occasions. AS christian
he was sincere, humble, faithful and consistent.
1 do not think that Judge Emory had an enemy
in this community where he lived so long. His
life especially his christian life, one worthy
of imitation by all, particularly the young, in
whom he always took great interest.
Houses Leased.-The large and commodous
houses of Col. Cockey have been leased by Mrs.
Zimmerman and Mrs. Jarrett, of Baltimore, and
the prospects for filling them with boarders is
very good.
A Mistake,--A few years ago the N. C. R. W.
authorities had placed in front of our station
several grass plats and flower beds. They were
much admired, and added greatly to the appear
of the surroundings of the station. This
spring they being removed and their places
filled in with yellow gravel. What prompted the
railroad officials to this cannot be immagined. We
have heard many theories advanced. Perhaps the
number of patrons of the road numerous
that the space is not sufficiently large to give
cess to the cars without tramping over the grass.
The strangest part of the transaction is that the
sod was taken to Sherwood" where Mr. wilkins,
the superintendent of the road, resides. 1t looks
little selfish, dosen't it? RESIDENT.

From Gardenville, 18th District.

Helping their NeighJor.-On Thursday of last
week eighteen eff Mr.. Thomas B. Gatchs neigh
bors assembled with their teams and and going to
the city hauled out nearly all the lumber shingles,
laths, &c, necessary to rebuild his house, which
was destroyed by fire few weeks weeks ago. The
new house will be erected on the foundation Of the
old one, but will be of different style. Mr.. A.
Sack has the contract to build the house and is to
have it ready for occupancy in six weeks.
D1cking ''nder Dibiculties.-On Monday last
two young men from this neighborhood went
down to Bull Neck ON business and while there
saw a lumber of ducks in the creek They bor-
rowed a gun from Mr.. Robinson and succeeded in
killing one of them, but having neither boat nor
dog how to retrieve the game was problem
which yet remained to be solved. Finally one Of
the young men-disregardng the fact that the
day was very cold-stripped off his clothing and
swimming out brought it safely to shore. He suf
fered greatly from the cold and will not soon try
the same thing again.
= Death OF om Aged Colored Woman.-Aunt
Emily Jones, as she was Familiarity called, was bur-
ri I'd at CowdOn's Chapel about two weeks ago.
She was IS years of age and spent her whole life
in the neighborhood where she was born, having
been a slave in the family of the late Robert Fitch
in which family there were ten children, all of
whom have passed away. Aunt Emily was the
mother of twenty. two children, not more than
eight of whom are now living.
A Good Chance.-Mr George Holloway, who
has been living on the farm of the late Charles d.
Kirk, has moved to the Hillen road and the
property is again for rent 1t contains about 200
acres and is well adapted for dairying, fine
stream passing entirely through it.
Piocing.-Some farmers getting ready to
SOW oats and last week noticed everal plows run
ming, but the rainy weather has put a stop to the
work, the ground being very wet. There
will be very little oats sowed this month.
Gardeners at Work.-Gardsners have COM
menced planting peas and some of them are put
ting out onions sets and sowing early beets. On
st. Patricks day quite a number sOwed cabbage
seed, there being popular superstition that the
plants coming from seed sown on that day will
not be attacked by insects. 1 have no faith in
this belief and therefore have never tried it, but
those who have faith sow ON that day even if they
have to shovel the snow from the ground. My
plan is to put no seed in until the ground is in
proper condition to receive it, and this it cannot
be when it is as cold and wet as it now is.
Runocay.-0n Friday afternoon of last week
as Mr.. Reinecke, living seven miles on the Belair
road, was descending the hill at Raspburg, driv-
ing young horse, the animal became unmanaga-
bic and dashed off running the wagon against the
railing of the bridge over Moore's run, which gave
way and all were precipitated into the rockey bed
of the stream. The wagon was wrecked but Mr..
Reinecke and the horse escaped unhurt
