THE SHoELEss Horse Mr.. R A.
Luck's horse, entered in the tradcsmep's
class at Darlington, for the purpose of al
lowing persons interested with the ques-
ton OF the shooting of horses the oppor-
tunity OF inspecting the feet of horse
that had done hard work on macadamized
roads without shoes, attracted considerable
attention. Experienced farriers, hunts.
men, farmers, tradesmen and gentlemen
were to be seen in groups round the horse
all the afternoon. critically examining its
hoois. The curiosity evinced was not sur
prisng, nor the scepticlsm with which the
various inspections were made, and not
less noticeable was the general astonish
men and wonder expressed al the remark
able results OF Mr.. Luck's experiment. II
is SO universally believed (says the Oar
lngton lanaeS) that the shoeing of horses
Is absolutely necessary that it appeared
almost incredible that an animal which
had been unsound in its feet could be made
sound by shoelng, and more than this, that
IL could, alter nearly years regular
work over country and town roads, show
such lerfect hoofs, The development of
the feet was constant source of wonder,
and MIR. Luck, who courteously explained
the circumstances of the experiment. must
have been somewhat wearied at having to
explain in detail so often how he had
succeeded. 1t is not exaggeraton to say,
indeed it was admitted by all who saw the
animal, that no horse Oh the field
possessed four sounder or better feet, and
this simply by allowing nature to have
her own way. No task is more difficult
than to root out long accepted ideas, and
we can scarcely expect that a 1.-THE of
those who admitted the success SO clearly
demonstrated will forthwith abandon
shoeing as an unnecessary practice, but
wherever men interested in horses con-
gregate together, the subject will be
theme OF discussion for the next nine DAYS.
Nothing mole surprising was seen at the
show, and not few were convinced,
against their will, that what they had
hitherto regarded as impossible had ac,u
ally been achieved. In many parts of the
country we understand gentlemen are
regularly working unshod horses, and
with equally satisfactory results to those
demonstrated at Darlington, and doubtless
ere long Mr.. Luck will find many lmrta-
tors in the north.-Cam6ridge (England)

day, with no marked advantages on either
side. These oxen were broken 10 the

In this particular instance the oxen were
better for ploughing than the horses, for
the simple reason that, performing equal

more readily prepared for labor.

THE HORSES FooT-The nc udtne
lecture IN the SERIES, on typical rue ures
and phases of animal lite, was delivered
the Lowell Institute, last evening, b\
the Rev j. G Woods. Ia treating his
subject,-the horses foo, he said that the
horse, by a comparatively few persons
only, was treated as he should be. The
hoof of horse is one of the most wor-
derfu' pieces of mechanism that is found
n any animal. 1t must be strong to beal
the weight of the body, elastic to stanu
tho shock when Il horse is leaplng, ano
light so as not to tire the animal unneces-
sarily. The Creator has been so careful,
to save any needless weight in horse.

horse wearing shoes weighing l6 pound,
in the course OF mile lifts a. 600 bound.

READING FOR OUR YOUNG.
About these days the question is being
discussed by parents, what publications
they will subscribe to, for their children
to read the coming year. This is a
very important question and one that
needs to be weighed well. Many parents
are too Indifferent what their children
read, allowing them to read matter that
implants seeds of bad and ruinous
nature and what will the harves, be
think you? There is such a quantity to
select from, that much care needs to b.
given to the matter; because there are
many publications entirely unti for the
young mind The Youths Companion
published by Perry Mason & Co., Boston
come nearest my idea of what a YOU lis
paper ought 10 be, than any know Of
has been before the public a long time.
and it is an old favorite, ever pure, bright
and fresh, and filled every week with the
choicest articles from the pen of a list oi
writers whose names stand foremost in
periodical literature; and know of no
other publication for youth that has such a
succession of lively and brilliant stories
and illustrated articles. No parent can
do better than 10 send for it, as every fam
iy need just such a journal, to aid in The
moral training of their children. The
COMPANION in the main is story paper;
but the moral and religious training of the
youth is al end constantly in view. None
can tell what an influence for good This
paper has had in the half century and
over that it has been published. Dear
reader, send for a specimen copy and see
if it will not be better investment than
some of the papers which you know of, to
place on your table for the pelusal Of your
boys and girls yourself too, for ii will
surely interest you l like TO see reading
matter provided in abundance.
Good books and papers are certainly
good investment. The interest cannot be
computed in dollars and cents, always,
but family who are acquainted with
good literature, can enjoy life to n far
greater extent than those who are no.
