CORNs ON HoRsEs.-This is a very COM
mon failing in horses, and often a very
serious one. They may be very minute
and the animal may be lamed by them,
or they may be very extensive and not lnjure
him in the least. A horse with corns or
narrow heels should never be purchased
by any one looking for tirst-class animal.
Such one will be more or less lame if not
worked at all. But should the foot be good
and cool, the horse in work and sound, he
may safely be bought, however extensive
the appearance of the corns may be; for
should even little tenderness or soreness
be perceived after unusual work on hard
roads, keeping the feet in warm water a
few hours for a day or two, and a small
dose of physic, will set all right again. In
cases where soreness comes on from cOrns,
if the feet are good, we generally know
the worst and its remedy. Such lameness
is not, like failing of the sinews, likely to
be permanent or end in helplesSnesS. On
the contrary, with care there is no such
danger; but every prospect of that care
being recompensed by a comparative or to-
tai s0undnesS of the horse, or, to say the
least, his freedom from lameness.
PUTTING AWAY TooLs.-The wearing out
of farm implements is, as a rule, due more
to NEGLECT than to use. If tools can be well
taken care of, it will pay to buy those made
of the best steel, and finished in the best
manner; but in common hands, and with
common care, such are Of little advantage.
Iron and steel parts should be cleaned with
dry sand and cob, or scraped with piece
of soft iron, washed and oiled if necessary,
and in a day or two cleaned off with corn
cob and dry sand. Finally paint the iron
part with resin and beeswax, in the proper
ton of four of resin to one of wax, melted
together and applied hot: This is good for
the iron or steel parts of every sort of tool.
Wood work should be painted with good
boiled linseed oil, white lead and turpentine,
color of any desired tint; red is probably
the best color. Keep the cattle away. until
the paint is dry and hard, or they will lick
with death as the result. If it is not desired
to use paint on hand tools, the boiled oil with
the turpentine and "liquid dryer" does
just as we'll. Many prefer to saturate the
woodwork of farm implements with crude
petroleum. This can be used with color,
but not applied by itself.

IN MEMORIAM

Died, December 18th, 1882, at his residence
in Charlotte county, Va, Captain HENRY EN-
BRY SCOTT, aged 81 years.
In early life his many talents were consecra.
ted to God, in whose service they were faithful
ly employed. For thirty years he was an ac-
tive and influential Ruling Elder of Bethlehem
church. In the Sunday School he was good
superintendent and teacher. In the Bible elias
taught by the minister he was a pupil. With
the Eible as his only nfallible rule of faith and
practice, preterring the honor of God to the
praise OF men, he was faithful in the perform
ance OF Christian duties, both at home and
abroad His words and conduct manifested NOT
only the existence but the developing of Chris
tan graces in heart free from dogmatism and
selhshness which made him an agreeable COM
panlon and a pleasant associate in business
transactions A finished education, superior ot,ioT
business capacities, and eminent piety made
him useful and influential in religious and secu-
lar assemblies. Possessing much of the good
things OF this life he was always willing to di-
vide with the needy and hel the poor. For
him the laborer was glad to work assured that
ne would receive Just and satisfactory CON-
pensation for his services.
In attlcuon he was a sympathising friend
Young people welcomed him in Their social
gatherings.
None knew him but to love.
None named him but to praise"
When a mans ways please the Lord He
maketh even his enemies to be at peace with
him" But he is gone. The church and the
preachers will miss Captain Scott. THE Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away blessed be
the name of the Lord"
Whereas it has pleased our divine Head to
remove by death our brother and coworlxer
Henry E. Scott from the Session of Bethlehem

ResOtUed, LIST. That we the officers of tbis

ton of Capt. SCOTS faithful service as a good
citizen, generous Christian gentleman, and
Ruling Elder in the Church Of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He has gone before us, but we rejoice
in the hope of meeting him in ths visible preo

evermore.
