it was most crowded, and to lay on the coun-

The number and disposition Of the nails
depend upon the kind of shoe. For speed
and light draft, from five to seven may be
employed, while for heavy horses andsfor
heavy draft the number may be increased
Where few nails are used they should be
more widely distributed than is usually the
custom. When it is remembered that the in.
PRODUCTION OF every nail is so much injury 10

seen that the smaller the number requisite
for the purpose the better for the animal. In
driving the nails, it is essential that a thick
short hold OF the crust should be had, rather
thin long thin one. Not only is the shoe
thus held more firmly, but there is a proba-
bility that the nail holes may, by the down.

next shocing, which in most cases should not
exceed an interval of four or five weeks. The

Mr.. JOHN F. MARSHALL
Dear ,Sir-This is to certify that have used the
Poppein Silicated Phosphate bought of you for
two years past on my entire range of truck and
the results have been highly satisfactory. 1t is
decidedly the best fertilizer 1 ever used, and |
have used several standard brands | have tested
1t beside good compost from my hen-house, and
| find where used the Popplein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, and the fruit is of a superior quail
ty. Where used it on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put. Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection.

its uniform quality, as determined by annual

HOTEL LIFE on MURRAY HILL.

One of the pleasantest things about the Bucking:
ham Hotel is the number of growing plants which
adorn il, rooms and corridors. Ferns and palms
seem to spring up everywhere. Their bright green
harmonizes with the white and gold of the ladies'
parlor, and gives a charm to the crimson carpetcd
corridors. The passageway between the large and
small dining rooms is filed with fine Collection OF
plants, and the birds in gilded cages among them
sing cLarmingy. The large dlnlng-rQOm seats
