APPLE CRop-HoW IT PAYS.

A little over four years ago thu
Green brothers purchased on time
eighty acres of land, lying two mile:
south of town, at the price Of $1,000
The orchards were young, had beer
greatly neglected, and were little bette,
than tangled mass Of dead peach an6
pear trees and weeds between the ap.
pie trees. They went to work yigor.
ously, cleaned out the underbrush ano
dead trees, trimmed up the apple trees
replanted where they had died out,
and placed the orchard in good shape.
This was in 1879, and the spring Of
1850. In the fall of 1880 they had a
good crop of apples that brought them
S6,o In 1881 the apple crop was
nearly failure. something that seldom
occurs in this section. As rule the
apple crop is a certain crop, more SO
than any crop Of grain. This year
they sold their apples for $4,000. In
1882 their apples brought $1,000.
This year there is abou. half crop of
apples, as in the spring and summer
at least half the young apples were
blown off by the violent winds. Their
crop this year brought them $4,000.
1t will be seen from these figures
that an apple orchard in this section
is a good investment. and is really
more remuneratlve than any other in
the agricultural line-Indeed if one
may judge from the returns already
received by the Green Brothers. it is
better than bonds, bank stock or mer-
chandislng. On an investment of
81 900, including their labor, in four
years they have realized $4,000, and
two ofthose years there was partial fail
ure Of crop. At least half the year no
labor is required. Others who have
given attention to setting out and Gull
tivating orchards IN Macon county
have realized proportlonately as well.
There is always market for our APP
pies, as North Missouri apples are
highly appreciated and eagerly sought
for wherever they have been once
marketed. 1t will be seen, then, that
there IS no more certain, satisfactory
and remunerative investment here,
than in having good apple orchard.

"The old hen" is often a subject fol-
derision with people who do not under
stand her relation to our domestic
economy. People are not generally
aware that the egg product of the
United States stands second in value
only to corn and wheat, and very often
surpasses the latter. Last year, for in
stance, the crop was worth $3.50, 641,.
400. the wheat crop $4So.675,779 and
the egg crop $475,6Ss, $3.50. The old
hen is entitled to more respect than is
paid her.-Eethange.

THE Shooting OF HORSES.

At recent meeting Of the American
Street Railway Association, the follow
ing was reported on the above subject
The hoof OF the horse in its natural
state is adapted only TO the soft and
yielding soil; and so when we wish Il
put them to practical use on common
roads and paved streets, it becomes
necessary to protect the foot from the
unnatural wear they become subjected
to. The practice Of protecting the hoo1
in some manner dates back for centu.
ries, and from the rude devices then
used We have come down to the pres.
ent day, in which many forms Of shoes
are made, all of which have their claims
to superiority.
In selecting the shoe the kind of .
foot should be considered; but as RUE,
in our judgment, fiat shoe that will
leave the foot in the most natural state,
allowing the frog to receive a portion
OF the weight or blow. is preferable es-
pecially for the forward foot; the natu-
raj formation Of the frog being of q
soft, spongy growth with elastic prop
critics, would seem to be made for that
purpose.
As rule horses coming fresh from
the pasture have sound and healthy
feet with broad frogs. and We should
30 adspt the shoes as to retain the nat
ural formation rs near rs possible.
Too much care cannot be used in pre-.
pairing the foot for the shoe The frog
should never be cut; the shell requires
more or less cutting. The shoe should
always be fitted to the foot and not tho
foot to the shoe, as is often done.
Corns, the most prevailing disease
We have to contend with, appear in the
angle of the foot near the heel; and are
caused by the shoe not being conceived
enough, or allowing it to remain on
long enough for the shoe to become inn
bedded into the heel, and often is the
result of unskillful shoeing.
Moisture We believe to be essential
to the preservation of the foot. The
railroad horse stands on the floor about |
twenty hours ont of the twenty-four,
and consequently the feet get very dry;
therefore we would recommend the APP !
plication of water frequently, not only |
TO supply the natural moisture, but for
cleanliness.
In shoeing the horse the workman
should bear in mind that he is protect
ing the foot from unnatural wear, and
that it is only for that purpose; there
fore all prejudice as to how it should
b done should be laid aside. The horse
commences life with sound feet, but too
many Of them are ruined by unskillful
shoeing, and thus brought to compara-
tive uselessness ut n time of life when
they should be in the prime of their
power.
