Treatment Contraction associated
with imflammatory action Of the tissues
Of cartiIages Of the foot must be treated
ID the same manner as recommended for
laminitis: in all cases endeayor to give
the FROG bearing on the ground, and
IN order to do this the shoe ought to be
removed. a dry, brittle, and contracted
hoof may be improved by repeated poul-
ticing with soft soap and rye meal, OPP
piled cold. So soon as the h-of softcns
let it be dressed night and morning,
with turpentine, linseed oil and powders
ed charcoal, equal parts. A run at grass
in soft pasture, the animal .haying moth
ing more than tips on his feet is the best
treatment. Avery popular notion exists
that COW manure hasa wonderful effect
on a contracted hoof, but filth and dirt
Of every kind IRE nnfayorable to healthy
action. If any benefit belongs to such
an Objectionable application it is due to
the property il possesses Of retaining
moisture; therefore cold poultices and
water are far superior. Clay and moist
earth placed in the stall for the horse to
stand on arc far inferior to stufing 81
wet oakum, which can be removed at
pleasure. In order to keep it in contact
with the sole, insinuate two strips q
wood between the sole and shoe, ono
running lcngthwise and the other cross
wise Of the foot. It affords considerable
pressure to the foot, is cooling and clean
" and is far superior to the above ar
ticles. - Chicago Herald.

4 correspondent Of the Poultry Yard,
who believes that many chicks are killed
out of kindness, says; II have raised
and cared for young chicks from my boy
hood, and seldom lose any Of them, never
had case Of gapes in my experience,
and no amount Of disease Of any kind,
save only one, number Of years ago,
when had d had case Of cholera among
my old fowls. For years ! have fed only
one way, and always with success--no
hard boiled eggs, Or any other fancy
dishes. From the day they are Matched
/ feed them as much as they will eat five
times day with Johnny cake, made
Of coarse meal, mixed with water as stiff
as it can be and thoroughly wet il ALL !;
bake in ali oven until done and crumble
it when fed. In addition to this, from
a week old, ! keep good whole wheat or
cracked corn where they can help them
selves to It ut pleasure. With an abund-
ance Of clean, cold water, and coops we'll
whitewashed and kept thoroughly clean,
the above treatment will be found simple
and all that is required. OF course the
cake must be baked every few days and
none fed that is not perfectly sweet.
After chicks are month old they will
notrequirc much OF the Johnny cake,
but will prefer the cracked corn and
wheat, though they will always relish an
occasional feed Of the cake"

Muck for Manure.

A Pennsylvania farmer says: BY care
ful management 4 large addition of ma
nurc- the richest resource Of the farm
may be made at the cost of some labor
and little money out Of pocket. A con-
siderable bill for fertilizers is an eye
opener and sets one thinking how he can
save the large lot Of money for SO small a
lot Of manure. An excellent way to
make a big manure heap is as follows:
Dig from the swamp and if the farmer
is SO unfortunate as to have none, let him
offer his more fortunate neighbor to dig
drains in his swamp for the muck he
throws out; but in some way ges a lot of
swamp muck: 200 or 800 loads. Make q
heapz-a big one, in a field; spread q foot
in depth of the muck, roughly, whiten it
oil over with fresh lime from the kiln;
add moro muck and more lime, and SO on
until the heap is five feet high. It will
soon get hot and keep hot, and in the
spring will be a sweet, dark, rich mass Of
valuable fertilizer, having from twenty to
fifty pounds Of nitrogen, worth is to 20
cents a poundin artificial fertilizers, in
every ton of it. More muck may be put
in the COW yard; in the stable cutters;
and especially in the pig-pen along with
tho horse manure, which will all be tufTf-
ed over and over and worked upto rich
compost with the refuse Of the pig-pen.
Making manure is . fine art far too little
studied by farmers. Where swamp muck
cannot be procured, leaves, straw, chaff,
and any Or all other vegetable matter
may be gathered for this purpose.

DOME Pare the Heels.

Among ths causes Of contraction Of the
hoof is the prevalent custom of cutting
away the bars which ordinarily support
the heels and prevent their approxima-
tion. This method is directly operative
IN producing this deformity, which, in.
some eases, may hs cdhsfd'esrdd ii the
light Of local atrophy diminished nutri-
ton. Diminished nutrition generally re-.
suits from disorder in the digestive or
gans, SO that contraction Of the hoof ana
indigestion may sco-cxist, although many
physicians deny the co-existeaec Of tie
diseases. Contraction Of this kind is
not apt tor occasion lameness, because
there is very low grade Of vital action
in the parts. But contraction is now
and then the result Of deep-seatcd. dis
ease within the Observation-Disclosures and
faminitis, for example; the animal Is
then dead lame while the infiamatory
diathesis lasts.

Queer Justice.

Hon. S. S. Cox III the New York Sum-
describing conversation in Turkey. In
the interior OF that country a Turkish

recruit for the then probable war with
Bulgaria and Greece. While there the
agent desired that the proprietor Of tho
village with whom he was contracting
should show him specimen Of the Hum

BY that officer that goose thief had
been apprehended during tho night and
was in confinement. He sent for the
criminal.
"Are there any witnesses" asked the.
judge.
"Two," was the answer; ttthe man
who owned the goose and man who
saw the theft
After hearing the evidence tho judge,
in his fierce and harsh Hungarian Gin

prit and said: "You have been found
guilty and I fine you ten krcutzcrs and

Household Hints.

Ammonia water is the best for cleansing
brushes.
To freshcn velvet hold the wrong side
over boiling water.
When the burners of lamps become
clogged with char, put them in strong
soapsuds and boil awhile to clean them.
To keep silyer-plated articles bright,
dip them occasionally in solution Of
hyposulphide Of soda. Large articles.
like pitchers and salyers, should be
wiped off with rag dipped in the solu-
tion and dried with a soft towel. BY
rubbing with piece Of chamois-leather
they will be as bright as new.

The Government, to begin with, is in
no financial difficulty. The interest on
the public debt is paid when due, and
the bonds will be paid as they mature.
But if it were decided to pay off the pub
lie debt the Government owns available
assets worth five times the amount. Its
water works, and its wharves and re-
claimed land at the harbor, not to speak
of other national property, are honestly
worth four or FIVE times the existing debt
of the nation, and when the Esplanade
is completed it will be worth very much
more. Indeed, s., 100000 was recently
borrowed at per cent in London by the
little town of Napier, on the east coast
OF New Zealand, without government in
dorsement, on the security of harbor
dues alone, said money to be expended
in constructing harbor works. We men
ton this to show that the national debt
of Hawaii is insignificant in itself, and is
amply secured by national property
without reference to taxation. Further
more, there is ample security for a debt
of five times the amount altogether apart
from taxes.
