"Cheat-FOunder."

This term, according to DIR. Greasy, is a
misnomer as applied to the seat of disease in
the forward leg. The trouble is invariably in
the feet, and the symptoms by which it can
be thus recognized are unmistakable The
horse points" tho foot, or stands with the
heel of the shoe raised from the ground,
always steps short, and in Scotland this gait
is known as "groggy -lameness."
After some standing, the heel becomes con-
tracted, grows down long, from want of
wear, so that the hoof looks like a collar-box
being nearly as high behind as in 'front.' and
smaller than the other foot. There is heat
and also tenderness on pressure in the hollow
of the heel.
The sunken condition of the chest is fall
lacious symptom, inasmuch ms the two anteri-
or thoracic muscles have shrunken in size,
or atrophied merely from want of use in
throwing the leg forward naturally instead
of taking those short steps, as compelled to,
on account of the morbid condition of the
navicular Joint.
The degree of lameness varies greatly with
the condition of the foot. When the foot
is dry, and upon dry, hard road the horse
is sure to limp, and always starts of lame
but in soft, muddy going or upon a sandy
road, after soaking the foot, the same animal
might not for miles take lame step. Hence
the necessity of special attention to the feet in
cases of this kind
Amy treatment, therefore, directed to the
supposed trouble in the chest, by way OF
seatons, blisters, or even lnament only, evin-
| ces the mistaken notion of the practitioner,
and thus clearly sets forth another popular
fallacy, which has long held sway among
horsemen as a substitute for knowledge.

ENTX AND RECORD AND FARMER FRIDAY, AUGUST u, 1881


Several parties are giving formulas Of cheap
paint, but have not seen any that will come
within the limits of mine. l have had about
twenty-five years experience in painting, and
like experimenting as well as the next one,
and in oil of my experience | have never
found any that is so durable for the little
cost as this one:
For an old building that is very badly
weather-beaten, makea sizingabout the thick
ness of paste for hanging paper, Of rye flour,
say four gallons then mix one gallon of paint
about the thickness for second coating and
add to the four gallons of sizing it will mix
with a very little stirring. This will give n
house 25x30 feet, sixteen feet studding, one
coat which would take at least FIVE gallons of
oil and fifty pounds lead, say on a house that
had been built eight or ten years without ever
being painted before. The second coat add
two or three gallons of oil with the size the
third coat, three gallons of oil, will make fin
ished job that will last as long as any three
coat all-oil work. never saw lime paint that
would preserve wood yet In regard TO sui
phate of zinc in paint, l fail to see where the
cheapness and durability come in. The one
who advised this did not tell the readers how
to make their own sulphate of zinc. 1 make
mine by adding three quarts of sulphuric acid
to four quarts Of soft water, then take old
washboard zinc and old worn-out zinc from
under the stoves, cut it up three or four.inch
squares, and add to the acid and water, and
keep out of the gas that it throws of Put in
all the zinc the acid will cut up in twenty -four
hours, then stir up two or three times, then
add as much more water, let settle for an hour,
then pour of the acid and water IL you
want it in crystals, evaporate it down dry

Nurserymen are always greatly interested
in favoring the introduction of new trees,
vines, shrubs, and plants. They sound their
praises at horticultural meetings. They write
up their merits in the newspapers, and display
their pictures in their catalogues and circulars.
They speak and write little, however, of
the merits of any of the old aud well-tried
varieties of the articles they deal in. The
reason is obvious. There is no money in
handling or keeping stocks of them. They
are SO common that a supply can be obtained
of growers in almost any neighborhood and
at merely nominal price. Nurserymen
make money by the sale of new varieties of
plants as dry-goods merchants do by the
sale of new kinds of cloth and various kinds
of fnery. Old varieties, like old styles, are
in the way of selling new ones. Dealers are
accordingly interested in making it appear
that the new varieties of trees, vines, shrubs
bushes, and flowers are vastly superior to
those that have been kept long in cultivation
1t is true that in the main there is under
the influence of judicious selection and cult
walton a marked improvement going on in al
most all kinds of plants, as there is in human
beings and in the domesticated animals. But
it is also true of plants as it is of men, that
some are produced far ''in advance of their
age" 1t is best to hold fast to these varie-
ties, and not give them up because nothing
appears that is highly promising About
twenty five years have passed since the origin
and introduction of the Wilson New Albany
strawberry, and although hundreds of new
varieties have been introduced since that
time, it is still the best kind to plant with a
view to profit. The like is substantially true
of the Concord grape, and the Early Rich
mond cherry. The Bartlett pear is good
enough to let alone, and so is the Red Astra-
kan apple. There is wisdom and economy
in planting largely of old and welltried va
rieties. 1t will be time to do the like with
new varieties when their merits have been
generally acknowledged. ChicdgO Times.

All writers on agricultural subject seem to
agree that the use of lime on clayey soil is Of
great benefit, crops thus treated showing the
advantage of its mixture with the soil. A
correspondent of the Farmers Re0ielo writes
from France that the European farmers coin
eide with our Ggriculturists in this respect,
and conclude as follows;
The extensive use of lime is excellent for
clay soils. Argyll augments in volume when
moist-diminishes when dry. Carbonate of
lime possesses neither of these properties !;
applied then to cold clay soils it enables the air
and heat to penetrate more readily thus max
ing the land friable. On light soils the ac-
ton of lime is weak, and on those very light
the use of lime is misplaced But as the &C
ton of lime rapidly transforms the nutritive
capital of the land its success cannot be per-
manent unless nationally supplemented by
direct fertilizers as farm yard manure, etc.
Hence the adage. Lime enriches the father,
but ruins the children. If the soil have an
excess of acids, lime "sweetens" by neutral
izing them all cultivated soils are slightly
acid, such being necessary forvegetation. Too
much, however, acts directly on plants, and
indirectly by the formation of soluable and
noxious salts of iron.

Fall Pasturing.

The dairyman who pastures ordinary mead
ows in the fall robs his next crop TO an ex-
tent that he does not realize. The writer
was conversant with case where Is acres
averaged, regularly, about 1870 tons of excel
lent hay when no pasturing was allowed; and
the owner having tenant. who had been
rather unfortunate, allowed him to pasture
some 20 cows upon the aftermath of these
meadows for a single fall and the conse-
quence was q reduction of the yield from 1870
tons down to 60 tons the next season, and the
yield was never recovered until re-seeding.
1t was estimated that the whole value of the
% COWS in the fall was not equal TO the inju-
ry of the next crop on the Is acres of mead
Ow. The practice of pasturing meadows is
one of the most ruinous of the mistakes
among dairymen and causes them often TO be
so short of hay as to injure the yield of their
herds in the spring. Good feeding through
the winter lays the foundation for a good
yield of milk the following season, with good
COWS. Good meadows are very essential to
success in dairying and therefore this ques-
ton should be most carefully considered. -

SMALLER FARMS IN THE SoUTH.-The Balti-
more Sun says that the process of subdviding
the large plantations into smaller farms is 60
ing on steadily in the South, even in the States
where the old system had taken the deepest
hold Tht Woodworking farmer, who follows
the pillow himself, is gradually crowding out
the luxurious planter, who, in the ante 6ellum
days, scarcely took the trouble TO direct the
operations of his laborers. In Mississippi, for
instance, there were ~, $40 plantations in
1860, and the average number of acres in each
was $40. Ten years later there were G8, O23
farms, the area of each being 1913 acres. In
1880 the number of farms was IS, POS, averag-
ing ls5 acres each. While the area of cult
waited land is less than it was in 1860, yet the
production of cotton is nearly twice as great
The census of 1880 will doubtless show a still
greater change in the domestic economy of the
South, as indicated by larger number of
landowners and a vast increase in agricultural
products.

1t seems to be a characteristic failing of
most coachmen to lay the lash upon a horse
that exhibits fear at an object in the street or
beside the road Mr.. Bergh, president of
our society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, says in the organ of that society,
what every reasoning being ought to know,
and that is to never whip your horse for be-
coming frightened at any object by the road
side, for if he sees a stump, log, or a heap
ing it carefully, and about to pass it, you
strike him with the whip, it is the log, OF
stump, or the tan-bark that is hurting him in
his way of reasoning, and the next time he
will be more frightened. Give him time to
smell all of these Objects and use the bride
to assist you in bringing him carefully to
those objects Of fear.-Scientifo American.
