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 ill-kcpt roads, ard it is i'm
portant for owners of horses to study well
how these causes of diseased feet can be
avoided. But in the consideration Of this
question there are some points not well
understood. The London Stock Keeper
gives a 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 draw
ing. Now, an average horses draft power
amounts only to forward strain of one
hundred and fifty-seven pounds. As the
horse is only excrting this forward force
by pressure upon the collar, it is clear,
the feet cannot press with any more
force upon the ground, so that the above
explanation of the cause of injury to the
horses foot, is imaginary. 1t is not the
force exerted 10y work at all. A wild
horse, galloping at the top of his speed,
presses upon the ground with his feet
more than a horse moving ton in a
wagon upon road at the rate of two
miles an hour; and yet wild horses have
excellent feet and are never lame. But
they have choice of smooth path, and
have no blacksmiths to cut away the frogs
of their feet, and so deprive them of the
very means nature provides for the pro-
lection of the foot. If 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 foot lameness. Frog pressure
expands the heels, toughens the horns
cures corns, and does much toward giving
q horse sound feet.-American Aqricut

,uckp in raising calves by hand comes

luck" in raising calves by hand comes
from too long intervals between the feed
ings, too heavy feeding, and especially
from giving milk at too low a tempera-
ture. Let calf become very hungry
from long fasting, then be given an over
feed of cold milk. and one may warrant
the calf to be sick within very short
time. An overloaded stomach refuses
to act, sometimes even when the food is
of the proper kind, but is sure to do so
when the food is so cold as to chill the
animal. When calf shivers after drink
ingNit is safe to predict trouble. Milk
should be at nearly the same temperature
when fed from the pail that it would be
if taken in the natural way direct from
the COW, and the colder the weather the
more important does this matter of
temperature become. The milk should
not only be right when taken from the
fire, but should be right when it reaches
the stable. Blood heat, ninety eight de-
grees, is the right temperature, and for
Young calves in cold weather it should

Extraordinary Atlantic Waves.

The scathing sea encountered by the
steamer German1c, which compelled
her to put back to Queenstown, was no
doubt genuine storm wave formed in
the vortex of an Atlantic hurricane.
The ordinary Atlantic storm waves are
not more than thirty feet high, but
when the barometric pressure is unus-
ually low at the storms centre, and rel
atively high around it's outer circle, the
level of the sea is raised over large
area, and the winds blowing in on the
centre occasionally heap up the waters to

Climate of England,

The first view of England indicates a
warm and agreeable climate. Yet all
that part of Europe is almost directly
opposite d coast Of perpetual ice, and
the wonder is we find the country with
any climate other than perpetual win
ter. 1t is due to the warmth and
moisture which the gulf stream brings
that the climate is endurable. Charles
II. once said that q man can be out of
doors more days in the year in Eng
land than in any other country on the
globe. The frost rarely penetrates
more than an inch or two. Water is
drawn from pipes out of doors all the
year round: This climate is conducive
to the beauty OF the country, the
beauty of serene cultivated fields,
lovely lanes, shaded by enormous trees,
hedgerowed fields, turf as glossy and
thick as anything possible on earth,
and a wealth of wild flowers that be-
gin in the earliest spring and last all
the year. And then the residences,
the vine-embowed, rose-smothered cot
tage, the houses of the Tudors and the
castles hoary with age; and the rivers,
not such as cities are built on, with
mills and lumber and logs, but like
the Avon. That is the beauty of the
English landscape.
