Brand the COunterReits.

There is an immense volume of cOun-
terfeit money known to be in circula-
ton at present. Large sums of money
are exl ended annually by the Secret
Service to detect the cOunterfeiters, and
yet the country is at times flooded with
spurious issues of National Bank notes.
This is because the attention of the
Secret Service is devoted to the seizure
of counterfeit plates and bills still in
30 seSsion OF the makers or their CON
federates. while there is no systematic
effort made to check the further circu-
latiOn of the immense volume of coun-
ter cit money which has been showed
by the successful rascals, and is kept
floating in the community by more or
less honest people. The Secret Service
is totally unable to trace the individual
bills, when once issued, through the
thousands of channels they have fol-
lowed. A few honest people may per-
haps destroy a counterfeit when they
discover it, and pocket their loss
with hope that the recording
angel above who is said to attend to
such matters will see that they are
properly credited with the amount at
compound interest; but some men pre-
fer cash settlement here below, and
Indignantly return the counterfeit to
the person from whom they think they
got it, or perhaps to whomsoever they
think will accept their word in the mat
ter. or else they send it on its way
through the hands of the first unsus-
peeting person with whom they trade.
This is all very shocking, no doubt, but,
in many cases, it is all very true.
Should the note reach the Treasury by
chance it is at once branded, with a hot
or blackened iron, counterfeit" and
its further usefulness to the unfortunate
holder is suddenly and vitality impaired.
IL Is a sad reelection upon the frailty of
humanity, but an undoubted fact, new
ertheless, that this proceeding is now so
wei understood that the opinion of the
gentlemen atthe Treasury as o n doubt
ful bill is seldom asked Consequently
the Treasury as well as the Secret Sery-
ice is baked in any endeavor to stamp
out fraudulent notes which are already
in circulation.
THERE'S but one practical method of
accomplishing the desired end, and that
is to compel every Nat onal and State
Bank 90 brand every cOunterfeit pre-
scented TO it. Every prominent bank
teller viii say thai there is hardly a day
during which some counterfeit is not
presented to him in the course of
regular business or bya chance seeker of
s'change. 49, 1t is almost the uni
versd custom to politely hand it back as
counterfeit, and it remains in cir
culation. Were it branded it would be
donewith forever. We're mistake made
as to n genuine issue.there is an existing
provision for the redemption at par of
a mutilated bill Were the Treasury
officials to secure the cooperation of
the banks and it win be given gladly
the work in which the Secret Service
fails would be speedily and effectually
accomplished. After a little there
would be no eounterfeits in existence. -

Barefooted Horses and Bad Shooting.

owned mare for fourteen years
which was never shod. 1 used her for
breeding from a colt, and kept her with
out shoes because it was better for my
purpose, as she would not be so liable
to jure her colts, and she was not
driven enough TO require shoeing. This
mare was never lame or tender-footed,
but she would slip on snooth ice, and
once fell down ia crossing 3 pond. and
would have injured herself Gas she
could not gain fOot-holdl if she had
not been held down until removed. She
was gotten of the ice by putting arope
around her body and hitching another
horse to it and sliding her several rods
broadside TO the Shore. Her feet were
never cut, and contained all the natural
rim on the bottom. which. it is claimed,

up, keeping them from slipping any
where.
There is vast difference in the wear
ing effect on horses feet of prairie land
where there is an absence Of grit; on
plains where there is more or less grass
to soften the football and also an alb
sence of gravel, and a gravelly road.
On such a road horse might 60 on
walk, if not driven too much, without
wearing the hoOfs to the extent of be-
coming foOtsore, but if driven on a trot

it would become fOotsOre. | have known
colts while running in the pasture in
summer on gravelly soil, by the natural
wear of the feet and in stamping on ac-
count of fies-tO wear the hoofs away
so that they became decidedly tender
footed.
There is a great difference in horses
about stepping; some strike the feet very
hard on the ground and others lightly.
I he former would be sure to get footsore
without shoes, and with them unless
well shod, while the latter might do
very well barcfOoted, under possible
| circumstances. There is also a great
difference in the shape of horses feet;
some are born fatfOoted and become
crippled unless extra care is had in their
shOeing; others have hOofs so upright
and hard that they will endure neglect
and keep their feet in sound condition.
a flatfOOted horse usually has a soft
hoOf, which wears out rapidly. 1t is
apparent from these facts that general
rule to deprive horses Of shoes cannot
be made ALWAYS practicable. Esf
! A horse well shOd, so that the outer
rim of the hoofrests fully on the shoes,
will always travel better than one poor
ly shod or one baretooted. The curse
of shoeing isthe buttress AN Instrument
which a blacksmith seems to delight in
using to cut down a horses heels and
more. horses are made tender-footed
fromsthis abuse than all other causes.
Farmers are very apt to allow their
horses to wear their shoes SO long that
the outside of the hoof grows over
them, and they grind the soft and ten
der portion of the foot, producing
corns; whereas the shoe should always
rest upon the rim or outside. This
neglect is the worst kind of economy,
as it often results in permanent injury
to valuable animals. Such shoeing is
worse than no shoes, but this abuse is
not CONCLUSIVE argument against
shooting, but should be conclusive
against bad shoeing. -Saratoga, IN ~

Matrimonial Insurance Speculation,

Nearly every young man in the city
has been specializing in the wildcat
matrimonial Insurance associations. In
two large houses standing together on
Front street an appeal reporter was in
formed yesterday that the employees
would lose at least $4,000. Several
other houses, too, have gone into
the business, and probably a dozen
could be picked out whose employees
will sink 81 900 per house. There are
several houses on Main street that can
present similar showings. Indeed,
hardly a clerk in Memphis is not inter
ested in them in some way. The avid
ity with which they seize the Appeal as
soon as they get up in the morning. is
said to be astonishing. It possesses a
fearful fascination for them.
To show to what length the ''sacred
thirst for gold' will carry them, a young
man who moves in good society heard
that young lady friend of his was go
ing to be married, and he went to see
her about it. Several persons were in
the parlor when he delivered himself
substantially of the following speech in
q perfectly serious way: ''Miss 49,, 1
heard to-day that you expected to get
married pretty soon. While I don't
wish to loFy into your private affairs, /
would like to know when it will take
place. You would confer a particular
favor on me by telling me about it, as I
would like to get out some policies. l

Go visiting.

There may be time this month for
some of the farmers to take little rec
reation. This can be done proftably by
making it a visit of information and in
struction. There are many of our read
ers who do not know how to farm
There is an abundant evidence of this
in any neighborhOod-in fact, on three
fOVrths of the farms. Too many farm
ers never see the process by which some
of their neighbOrs prosper. All they
see is along the road from their homes
to town, and that they see too often
But if you have no neighbors who
know how to farm, make money and
live happy, 60 into some other neigh
borhood, or township, or an adjoining
county, until you find good farmer.
This is the kind of visiting to do. There
are many lessons. to learn from such
farmers. When you get there do not
spend your time talking politics, but
examine the farm, the stock, the imple-
ments used, the systems of underdrains,
manner of feeding stock, when and how
10 seed to grass, what kind of grasses
for pasture and what for meadow. A
day spent in this way will be better
than forty spent hanging about town.
A thousand more farmers might pros
per and be independent if they would
try TO know their business. And there
is an abundance of opportunities to
learn by having things demonstrated.
Go visiting among your prosperous
neighbOr farmers. There is some rea-
son why they succeed beyond surround
ing neighbors- And this prosperous
class OF farmers are not generally
selfish. They take pride in telling and
showing how good farming is done
why their stock is better than their
neighbors' why their land stands wet
and drouth, and why their crops yield
more to the acre. Such visits can not
only be made profitable, in stimulating
and awakening new processes. but will
be found TO be pleasant and wholesome
recreation. State Register.

How Candies are Made.


Candies are so often adulterated that
it is not easy to obtain permission to
visit a factory where they are made.
The other day, however, corresponds
ent obtained permission to visit one of
them, and some of their mysteries were
explained to him. Children often Won
der how the cream gets inside its choco-
late coating. This is the process: A
large number of wooden trays, an inch
or two in depth, are placed on table
and filed with corn-starch. impress
sions are then made in the starch by a
brass mold. The hollow spaces left by
the mold are then filed with a paste of
starch and sugar, or cream and sugar,
and the trays are put in q drying-room
until the paste is hard. The white balls
of sweet stuff are next dipped in a pan
of melted chocolate and sugar, from
which they emerge with the familiar
rich brown coat which so entices the APP
petites of the young people.
Jordan almonds are made as follows:
The almonds are toasted, and then
thrown into a great steam-heated cop
per pan, the revolutions of which keep
them rolling over and over. Some boil
ing syrup1is poured over them, and the
motion of the pan distributes it equally
over all of them.
More syrup is added until the coating
is of the desired thickness, and then
cold air is blown in upon them, leaving
them hard and white, a thinner syrup
being used at last to give them a smooth
surface.
Chocolate duchesses are made by a
crystallizing process. A cupful of cream
is added to a pan of boiling syrup, and
the mixture is poured into corn-starch
mOlds, as are used in making chocolate
creams. As it cools, the sugar sepa-
rates in crystals from the cream, retain
ing the latter in their sweet husk.
Common stick-candy is made by what
is known as the pulling process. The
requisite quantities of sugar and water
are boiled for twenty-five or thirty min
utes-unt1 they are done to turn, as a
housewife would say-and then the
bubbling mass of golden syrup is poured
upon a marble slab, which has been
thickly buttered to prevent sickness.
Any flavor can be added to it, and if
left upon the slab it would make clear
Randy. If it is to be pulled candy, it is
kneaded like dough until it becomes
cool, and a deft workman then throws
it over a hook, pulling it to the right and
left until it looks like huge rope. The
mass is then placed in machine, through
which it passes, coming out in smooth,
well-rounded sticks.--Y Youths COn5k1aps-

Corn Smut.

AS corn harvest will soon be on hand
it is well to think of a few small matters
in time. 1t is the prevalent opinion
of many good farmers and veterinarians
that corn SINUS when eaten by
cattle is injurious, and is the cause
in some cases of death. Hence
the smut ears should be taken care of,
aud burned when harvesting the corn.
A basket can be hung at the side, or be-
hind the wagon, into which all of the
smut can be thrown by the huskers, and
taken where it can be burned. 1t is evil
dent that the amount of this corn smut
is increasing every year, and it can be
checked by annually burning it. Science
is developing new theories. 1t is claimed
that this smut or dark dust is the con
gregated spores or seeds of a plant or
fungus. That these spores live through
winter, and in the succeeding year attach
themselves to their congenial element.
which is the green corn. How this is
done we do not pretende to explain.
There are many things about how the
various orders of plants grow, that we
do not pretend to know. But as the wise
microscopists contend that no plant or
grain grows except from its own seed,
we have to conclu de that corn fungus has
its special seeds, and that II is important
that they should as far as possible be
annually destroyed. There is but little
doubt that corn smut is injurious to ami
mails. acting as a poison and as an
irritant. We advise farmers to prepare
basket for each wagon in the corn-tield
to gather smut. Frequently part of the
ear has corn on it. and as the smut does
not appear to be disagreeable to the
taste of cattle. they eat both together.
