Care of Horses Feet.

Horses in civilized lands suffer more
from ailments OF the feet than from any
other cause. The feet of horse are sub
ject to many injuries, both from bad shoe
ing and from III kept roads, and 1t is Inn
portant for owners Of horses, to study we'll
how these causes OF diseased feet can be
avoided But 10 the consideration OF this
question there are some points not well un-
derstood. The London Stock keeper"
gives statement that a horse weighing
sixteen hundred pounds, when drawing
load bears weight upon the feet OF two
tons, the extra pressure being caused by
the downward force of the act of drawing.
Now, an average horses draft-power
amounts only to a forward strain OF one
hundred and fifty-seven pounds. AS the
horse Is only eyerting this forward force
by pressure upon the collar, 1t is clear, the
feet canpot press with any more force up
on the ground, so that the above explana-
ton of the cause OF injury to the horses
foot, Is imaginary. 1t Is not the force ex-
erted by work at all. wild horse, gal

on the ground with his feet more than
horse moving ton in wagon upon q road
at the rate of two miles an hour; and yet
wild horses have excellent feet and arc
never lame. But they have choice OF .
smooth path, and have no blacksmiths to
cut away the frogs Of their feet, and SO de.
prive them Of the very means nature pro-
vides for the protection of the foot. II
the roads were kept in good condition and
free from loose stones, and the frog Of the
foot were never pared, horses would rarely
suffer from footlameness. Frog-pressure
expands the heels, toughens the horns,
cures corns, and does much towards giving
horse sound feet.

Some apiarists practice clipping one
wing of each queen. Then when swarm

but crawls about upon the ground In front

cages and lays her aside In the shade,
moves the old hive to new location, aud
by the time the swarm has decided to re-
turn, because 1t has no queen, he has new
hive similar In appearance to the old one,
upon the old stand, and the bees, taking IL
for their own home, enter it, and, while
they are going in, the queen Is allowed to
run In with them. Thus the bees nive
themselves without being allowed to even
cluster. An object of this method is that
queens are sometimes lost in the grass.
When a swarm of bees returns 1t may en-.
ter the wrong hive, and II it makes no mis-
take in this direction 1t occasionally clus-
tiers all over the outside of the hive and
remains there a long time before entering.
If the queen Is allie wed to enter the hive
100 soon, she may come out again, think
ing perhaps that she has not "swarmed,
ana the bees follow her. There are some
indications that clipped queens are regard
ed by the bees with dissatisfaction, and
are thus more liable to be superseded.
queen that Is lost can often be found by
looking for the little knot Of bees that u.s.
ually accompanies her. II swarm at

can be thrown over the hive. II queen
Is not given to a swarm until the bees be-
gin to show signs of uneasiness she Is not
apt to leave the hive. When the queen Is
unclipped q swarm will usually soon cluster
upon the branch of some tree. AS the
cluster begins to form it should be noticed
whether 1t Is in favorable location for re-
moval. If it Is where several branches
cross, some of them should be cut away
with the knife or pruning shears, leaving
but one branch for the bees to cluster up
on. II the bees are slow In clustering,
