Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1881-12-14

The neighboring states of Central America
have preserved internal peace and their out
ward relations toward us have been those of
intimate friendship. There are encouraging
signs of their growing disposition to subordinate
their local interests to those which are common
to them by reason of their geo.
graphical relations. The boundary dtB-
pute between Guatemala and Mexico
has offered this government an opportunity to
exercise its good Offices for preventing rup-
ture between those states and for procuring a
peaceful solution of the question. I cherish a
strong hope that in view Of our relations of am
ity with both countries, and our friendly coun-
sells exemplary justice will be done again.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1881-12-14

The Costa Rican government lately formed an
tration the boundary question between those
countries, providing that the post Of arbirants
should be offered successfully to the king Of
the Belgians, the king OF Spain and the Presi-
dent of the Argentine Confederation. The king
of the Belgians has declined to act, but am
Spain. As we have certain interests in the dis
puted territory which are protected by our
treaty engagement with one Of the parties, it is
important that the arbitration should not, with
cut our consent, affect our rights, and this gov
ernment has accordingly thought proper to
make its views known to the parties to the
agreement and to intimate them to the Belgian
government. ss.ss%

The friendship Of the United States and Mex

the Mexican government to beneficial realiza-

from more intimate commercial intercourse

INTER-oCEANIC CANAL.
The questions growing out of the proposed
inter- oceanic waterway across the 1sthmus of
Panama are of grave national importance.
This government has not been unmindful of
the solemn obligations imposed upon it by it's
compact of 1916 with Colombia as the inde-
pendent and sovereign mistress of the territory
crossed by the canal, and has sought to render
them effective by fresh engagements with the
Colombian republic looking to their practical
execution. The negotiations to this end, after
they had reached what appeared to be mutu
ally satisfactory solution here were met
in Colombia by disavowal of the powers
which its envoy had assumed and by proposal
fer negotiation on q modified basis. Mean
while this government learned that Colombia
had proposed to the European powers to join in
. guarantee Of the neutrality of the proposed
Panana Canal, q guarantee which would be an
indirect contravention Of our obligation as the
sole guarantee Of the integrity Of Colombian
territory, and of the neutrality of the canal it.
self. Ny lamented predecessor felt it bis duty
to place before the European powers the rea-
sons which make the prior guarantee of the
United States indispensable and for which the
interjection Of any foreign guarantee might be
regarded as superduous and unfriendly act.

How Careful Farming Pays.

4 A. H. Kingsley of Hamilton, has raised
this season, and cut and cured from two
Eand one half acres of land, ten tons of good
MTimothy hay, twenty-one horse wagon loads
#beside part of a load of scatterings. de
Nalso sold Two loads and they weighed, one
N $50. and the other LILO pounds From
Athese | have estimated the Others al only
Ehalf ton apiece. When he bought this
4land ten or twelve years ago, it was DOGGY
fswamp, the whole piece being divided by a
&stream, and on the whole two or three cows
Npicked poor living in the summer. 1t was
covered with boys of wild grass, skunk
zcabbage bushes and alders in abundance.
< was rough and full of sink holes of mud
5and CLAY and muck. 1t did not seem to me
#that it could ever be made to produce full

Nskilful farmer and the bes plowman l

Nehoice steel pillow, and first plowed this

zthe stream, cutting straight through bush,
abog, skunk cabbage and every thing. He
aground his point and coulter every day.
4 For three years he kept it under the plow,l
Harrow and hoe. One fall he seeded it

hseed for him, and clover was put in, in the
Espring. The ground was as fine and mellow
las garden. The first year he had light
Ecrop of fine grass but he has taken SIX
sheavy crops of hay from it. Last year he
moved it twice, but some years it has BEEN
sheavier than this. helped him get up the

IL ever saw grown upon upland. Mr.. Kings

sensit,veness of the Horses Foot.

No form of flesh is more sensitive to pain
than the inner substance of horses foot
Its powers of sensitiveness are like those
which lie sleeping under the human finger
nail. To protect this from hurt and undue
pressure, nature has put this hard horny
Shield Wis: the outer sole; and yet have sal
and seen an ignorant smith hack and heW
away this natural protection, until he coult

imagine the feelings of the no rse, after hav
ing been Pct into the shafts. He was drlv
en- forth i to the dust and gravel of the
streets, or sent pounding along stone pave
ment with nothing but the tEinnest poss bic
filament of horn substance left between the
exquisite inner organization of the foot,
and the dirt, gravel, and stones on which he
was travelling And yet this method OF
procedure is not only tolerated by gentle
men of wealth and character, but vindicat-
ed and held up as the model ~ method OF
preraring the foot, for the Emergencies OF
actual service.
Horn is a slow conductor of heat and cold
and when thick retains moisture for long
time, and the flakes which are attached to
the solid horn, act as natural stopping"
to the hoof by accommodating and retaining
moisture beneath In addition TO this, every
fake sets more or less as a spring, in ward
ing off bruises OF other injuries to the sole;
and thus the floor of the horny box is pro
tected from injury internally and externally.
Yet, the farrier, following out the routine
of his craft, injudiciously pares the sole UNI
til it springs to the pressure of his thumb.
The immature horn thus denuded anG
stripped of its outer covering, Immediately
begins to experience the evil effects of ex-
ternal influences. 1t loses its moisture,
dries, hardens and shrivels up. 1t occupies
a smaller space, and in doing SO the sole be-
comes more concave, drawing after it the
wall. The stays against contraction are
taken away, and the quarters and heels be-
come narrowed, and the horse cannot but
go lame, even on smooth ground.
1t must be remembered, also, that the Sc
creting apparatus of the sole being deranged
new horn will form slowly, so much so, that
before the amount has been sufficient to
compensate for the old taken away, the
horse must be re-shod, when this part must
again be robbed through this senseless par
ing.
Seeing therefore, the natural provision
existing in the sole of the hoof for its
diminution in thickness, when necessary,
and knowing that the intact sole is the
best safeguard againgt injury and deterlor-
alton to this region, it must be laid down as
a rule in farriery, and from which there
must be no departure tn at this part
is not to be interfered with on any pretense,
SO long as the foot is in health, not even
the fakes are to be disturbed.-C The
