Hitting the T'other Leg.

A great number of horses are in the
habit of brushing one leg against the
t'other, and a deal of ingenuity has
been at different times exercised in
search of remedy for this often very
troublesome practice. Both the fore
legs and the hind legs are subject to it.
the latter, perhaps, most frequently;
but in them it is confined to the fetlock
Joint; whereas, in the fore legs, the
horse may hit either the fetlock, the leg
just above the pasterns, or just under
the knee, where it is called speedy
cut, from its occurring chiefly during
the fast action. Tt is desirable, before
applying a remedy, to ascertain, if pos
sible, the cause, and the part which
strikes, whether the shoe or the foot,
and, if the latter, what part of it.
Many horses interfere from weakness,
and cease to do so when they gain
strength and condition. This is more
particularly observable with fast horses.
Others do so from a faulty conformation
of the limbs, which are sometimes too
close to each other; and sometimes the
toe is turned too much out, or too much
in. When the toe is turned in the horse
usually strikes under the knee. The
objects to be kept in view in shoeing
such horses must be to remedy, as much
as we can, the faulty action, and to re-.
move, if possible, the part which strikes.
The part of the foot which strikes is
between the toe and the inside quarter;
sometimes the inside quarter itself, but
very rarely the heels Of the shoe. If the
horse turns his toe in it is very probable
that he wears the inside of the shoe
most; and if so, it should be made
much thicker than the outside; if the
contrary, the outside heel should be
thicker than the inside. The shoe
should be leveled off on the inside
quarter, which should also be free from
nails. In the hind legs we often find
that a three-quarter-shoe will proven.
striking when other plans fail; for here
the part which hits is not situated SO far
forward as in the fore legs, SO that the
removal Of the iron altogether from the
inside quarter will soon accomplish our
aim. Itsometimes happens that every
plan we can adopt will not prevent in
terfering, and the only recourse is boots
or straps buckled on the part. of the
limb that is struck. Prairie Farmer.

-Broiled potatoes: Parboil large po-
tatoes, peel and cut them into thick

salt and butter. Toledo Blade.
1t is stated that by spreading salt
on the ground under plum trees as far
out as the branches extend, good crop
is often secured, as it interferes with
the operations of the curculio. The same
application is good for bark lice.
The dirt-scraper can be profitably
used in making open bitches through

1t is now suggested that few to-
bacco plants can be grown advanta-

crop of cabbages can be grown in this
way, where not sound head has been
seen for two or three years. Chicago

he is satisfied it pays to pick off all

a correspondent writes the Country
Gentleman that not long ago he noticed
among a flock of ducks that some We're
so paralyzed as to lose all power of To-
comotion and lie fiat on the ground with
both feet thrown up. On examination
he discovered that the ones thus affected
were literally swarming with vermin
which infested their heads and necks.
He at once applied larl to the affected
parts, and in less than an hour the
ducks were on foot, and to all appear

To clean musty feathers proceed as
follows: Turn them into barrel and
cover them with hot water; leave them
to soak for an hour covered with a
blanket to keep in the heat; in the mean
time make a pailful Of strong soap-suds;
pour off the water from the feathers and
put on fresh boiling water; add toit the
soap and teacupful Of ammonia; stir
well for half an hour until the feathers are
well washed; then drain off the dirty
water and put in clean boiling water
and repeat; drain and spread the feath-
ers to dry upon sheet in an airy room.
