Brittleness of the hoof is usually produced
by inflammation, but it is too often caused by
the injudcious practice of greasing the hoofs and
neglect in washing them. Living horn contains
a large proportion of water, which is necessary
to preserve it's softness and elasticity. When
the water is driven out by the heat of iniamma-
ton, or by the of grease tar or oil. the horn
is dry, brittle and tender, and the hoofs break.
The horn is also subject to "a change by reason of
diseased secretion and becomes soft and then
powders. In all these cases the cure is slow, be
cause the character of the horn cannot be
changed excepting IN the new growth. Horn is
precisely of the same composition as hair and
practically is nothing more than hair fibre in a
solid mass, and like hair, is produced and pro
ceeds from secreting glands which exist in the
skin. TO change the character of the horn,
therefore it is necessary to wait for the new
growth, and to avoid iniuring this by improper
treatment; brittle hoofs should be treated by fire.
quent washing in warm water, and by rubbing
them in glycerine, mixed with an equal part of
water, but no grease oil, tar should be used.

Device That Is GAINING Triends.

The Rote automatic brake, description of
which was given in the Journal some sixty days
ago. seems to be gaining favor with railroad
men, One of the best features of this brake is
that it never fails to act, while the ureliabilty
of the best air-brakes III this particular is well
known to all practical railroad men. Among the
latest instances was one at Milwaukee, on the
c., NJ. & St Paul road, and another at Glad
stone III. This feature in air-brakes makes
them extremely dangerous, while the Rote,
under the same circumstances, is absolutely
safe. Some of the most compe-
tent men in the country, such as Manager
Baldwin, Superintendent Starr, and Joseph
Wood. master of motive power on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne e. Chicago, and General Manager
Stewart, Of the Cincinnati, Washington d. Balti-
more railroad, were apprehensive that in snowy
weather the snow would interfere with the
brake, yet in a severe test last week the brake
operated admirably

The Dizziness of the IRON and steel Rail Mar
ket Overdrawn.

The Dizziness of the IRON and Steel Rail Mar
ket Overdrawn.
So inclined are grumblers to represent that the
manufacture of iron aud steel rails last year was
far below the usual average that. the following
statistics become of some interest The produc
ton of steel rails in 1883 was 1890 900 tons.
against 1904 1862 tons in 1882 imports of steel
were 100, 900 tons, against 100000 in 1882; iron
rail production was 900 tons against 2O3, 459
tons in 1892 and the total consumption of rails
was 400 600 in 1888, against LOO, 900 in 1892
1t must be considered, in connection with this
slight decrease, that the railroad building of the
United States in 1883 was only about 6 600 miles,
while in 1882 it was over ll,000 miles, and also
that the stock of manufactured iron on hand is
at present very small, and barely enough to
meet immediate wants even before any revival
in spring business begins. The low figures at
which rails are selling is the most unfavorable
feature. The average price for the eighteen
years in which we began to make steel rails is
$83 80 per ton. The fact should be borne in
mind that only 1850 tons of steel rails were pro
duced in the first year of their appearance in
the market in 1867 Fourteen years later the
production, in order to meet the unusual de
mand reached ], 1856, 519 tons, selling in 1881 at
the average price of SCI. u. The production in
1882 was 1,460920 tons, and the price $48. 80
The decline from $4S 30 to $50 in less than year
1913 50 is the sharpest decline in steel rails that
has been experienced in the business.

THE reported sextaple murder in
Custer county proves to be all a hoax.
This hoax illustrates anew the fact
that there are only chosen few who
have been gifted with the talent to
discriminate between vulgar and an
artistic lie. A lie SO improbable that
nobody will be betrayed into believ-
ing it and a lie that involves no i'm
probability, are equally without mer-
it. A good lie is one which presents
an absurd impossibility so plausibly
that people are betrayed into believ
ing it, when a careful examination
would be sufficient to cause its reiec-
ton as absurd. Any other kind is
spurious and does not show the touch
of genius.
