A Clever Capture.

BY the patience and astuteness of u
policeman in Paris, band of very dam
elous thieves has just been broken up.
The gang consisted of eleven men and
three women, the former being attired
in the uniform of commissionaires or
porters belonging to the Messagerles,
by which means they were enabled to
stand about the streets in communica-
ton with each other without exciting
suspicion. Their operations were car
ried on in the business streets, such as
the Rue des Jeuneurs and the Rue de
Sentier. During the last few weeks
many complaints have been made OF
robberies from clerks and Others engaged
in carrying goods. The police agent
in question, suspecting the plot, and
noticing certain signs ofrecognition be-
tween the men and women, caused q
cart with some bales of merchandise in
it to be driven to particular house;
and, while the driver went in for orders,
he noticed that the pretended porters
closed up and each of them distracted
q parcel, while the women kept watch.
The latter were at once arrested, SO
that they could not give an alarm, and
the thieves were followed to a wine
shop and taken red-handed. In their
lodgings were found large quantities OF
goods which had been thus distracted.

Care Of Horses Legs and Feet.


1t is well-known fact that horses
will work and remain sound for many
years with legs apparently much out of
order. Enlargements take place from
blows, where the parts become lined
with thick coat of lymph; and some-
times the body of the bone itself is
found thickened from a deposition of
bony lamina over the original bone.
When all this has been in progress, we
question the propriety of any active
measures, unless, as is generally the
case, feeling of soreness is exhibited
after work by n shifting or fayoring OF
the limb in the stall, or by feeling
manner of going on first being taken
out of the stable. When the legs are
really callous little impression can be
mace upon them, unless by active
measures; but rest and proper attention
are the best preservatives of these most
essential members of the horse frame,
with the friendly auxiliarfes of hot
water. flannel bandages and freedom in
boX-stall after severe work, and good
shoeing at all times. Provided no in
ternal disease attacks the feet, they will
not only be as sound and healthy, but
in better form from having been prop
erly shod than if they had not been shod
at all. Some hoofs, however, having a
greater disposition to secrete horn
than others, and thus called strong feet,
should never remain more than three
weeks without being subjected to the
drawing knife of the blacksmith, and
the shoes properly replaced. Neither
should stopping with damp tow be
omitted; as moisture, not net. is bene-
fetal to the health of the foot. DO
what we may, however, horses that are
required for work ON hard roads, or to
"go the pace" will always be more or
less subject to diseased feet, quite un-
connected with shoeing. The action of
the hinder legs of horses, reminds us OF
one useful hint to those who have to
use their horses on long journeys. II
we follow well-formed horse, with the
free use of his limbs. on road upon
which his footsteps are imprinted, we
shall find the hinder foot oversteps the
fore foot in the walk, but falls behind il
in the slow trot. Exclusive of relief to
the muscles by change of action, then,
it is safer to vary the pace from walk
to slow trot OIL journey, as causing
less fatigue to the hook joint, by which
curbs and spavins are freqently thrown
out. Add to this, The slow trot is the
safest pace horse goes, because his
step is shortest. Prairie Farmer.

False Economy.

There is vast amount of false
economy in business, and it has found
its way to the homes of many of our
farmers. True economy, not parsi-
mony, is the basis of success, and this
is as true in the farmers occupation as
in any other. The farmer who objects
to giving his son a liberal education on
the Il ground that he is going to be
into practice most unwise and iniu-
dicious principle Of economy. Such an
one will not buy books, or take papers,
which rightly perused, would give him
great assistance in his work, simply
because he thinks he "cannot afford
them"
His poor farming tools are "good
enough for him." though on every
hand he witnesses tho rapidity and
thoroughness of the work done by i'm
proved machinery in the hands of truly
economical farmers-economica be-
cause they choose methods by which
they can do their work most quickly
and, at the same time, most efficiently.
The economic farmer wishes to
make money, SO he sells OF entire
those crops which, returned in part to
his soil In the shape of manure, would
make his land much more productive.
forgetting that the soil needs a certain
amount of food in order to produce.
He disposes of his best calves and colts.
because "being nicer they will bring a
better price," and he retains the poor
oflcasts for breeders-a sure step
toward ignominous failure in stock
keeping. The time Is come when our
best farmers are cutting loose from
these misleading principles, aud are
taking broader views of things. aud
when this false economy should be
superseded by the true. -RurG NeD

THE DAIRY.

Makers Of fine butter only work
the product with suitable implements;
they never think of touching 1t with
their hands.
Cheese making is defined as an art,
not acquired by the committing of
rules, or by deduction from semitic
method. 1t is a personal accomplish
ment, an individual acquisition, which
others may, or may not, successfully
initiate.
"A COW may be dried in short time
by not quite milking her out, and leav-
ing some in the udder each milking,
and by feeding dry corn-meal Mt the
same time. If cows to be fatted, this
plan will lay on fat and gradually dry
her off at the same time. Feed four
quarts OF meal a day.
The prospect seems to be that the
relative price of cheese and butter is to
remain practically unchanged during the
coming season and it is wisdom there
fore for persons who have profitably
made butter to continue at that rather
than change to cheese. Those who
have good cheese maker will wisely
continue at that. Utica Herald.
"A closet for keeping tubs of
butter may be made with double
walls, filed in with sawdust and
double door. A zinc shelf at the top
may hold the ice, and lead pipe bent
in one place to make II trap to keep the
air from coming in from the outside
may be used to carry off the water. If
the closet is kept tightly closed the ice
will last longer. If the air in the closet
is damp keep peck of fresh lime in it
which will absorb the moisture.
j. Stahel, the American Consul at
Hiogo, Japan, states that he sees no
reason why the United States can not
control the butter and cheese trade of
Japan which is a rapidly growing inter-
est. During 1880 half the butter inn
ported into Japan was from this coun-
try, and in 1879, two-thirds. He states
that much butter is taken from Ameri-
CO to Europe and there reworked and
shipped to the East. With care in max
ing and packing he believes American
butter would soon be without compet-
itor.
