BarefOOted Horses.

For two years we have abandoned
horse-shoeing, and do not expect to re-
turn to it again. There are some stony
localities, some kinds of work, and
doubtless some kinds of feet that re-
quire shoeing, but generally we believe
that the following experience of a
teamster with unshod horses in Boston
will be confirmed on our Vermont farms
We copy from the Boston Herald:
Mr.. p. H. Fagin, furniture and
piano-mover at Maiden, writes as fol-
lows concerning his experience with
barefooted horses: have driven
my three horses (two weighing 100
pounds each and one 300 pounds)

Fruit Thieves.

One of the greatest annoyances to
which the raisers of fruit, of whatever
kind, are subject is the idea that seems
to prevail among a large part of the
population that there is not only no
serious wrong done to the owner by the
clandestine robbery of his trees or
trellises, but that such robbery is even
a somewhat commendable thing. We
have in mind a case of very recent
happening, where crowd of boys,
from dozen to fifteen years old, made
a raid by night upon an arbor covered
with choice grapes, and almost entirely
despoiled it of its fruit before they
were discovered by the owner, who,
however, was fortunate enough, or I'M
fortunate enough, to lay hands on two
or three of them and find out who they
were. The parents of the boys, being
appealed to by the aggrieved owner OF
the fruit, affected to regard the thing
as mere boyish freak, not worthy Of
notice, and were even little Indignant
when the loser spoke of it by its proper
name of thieving, and pointed out tina
apart from the sentimental damages
sustained by loss of fruit which he hao

On Feeding Turkeys.

Dedr Households sister asked. a

of raising turkeys many years (and our
young turkeys are very thrifty, 1

scalded together. To this l add curd,
which is made by heating sour-milk
and draining off all the whey. Graham
or fine-feed mixed with the bran is
better if one does not have plenty of
curd. But feed is not the only thing
requisite in raising young turkeys;
they should be kept dry and in airy
compartments. If they have to be
kept shut up several days through
long rain, give them sand and dry
earth to roll in, which you can have
saved for that purpose. If they begin
to droop, look for lice, which will be
found at the end Of the quill feathers
on top of the wing. Do not ever use
grease to kill lice, but powder with in
sect powder, which can now be obtained
cheaply of any druggist. If by my ex-
perience l can help as. s." or any
other sister in raising turkeys, will be
glad to do so, for turkey-raising is now
one of the chief sources of income to
many of our Vermont farmers.

is simply an enlargement (hypertrophy)
of the natural papillae of the skin. Its
vitality is feeble, and anything that af-
fects that will tend to cause their dis
appearance. Nitrate of silver, or even
alum, often answers as well as the sui
phate of copper, and there are some
irritant vegetable juices that have a
like effect. OF these the juice of the
plant known as cleavers," or Ladies'
Bed Straw (Galium), and also the COM
mon milk-weed (asclepias) are some
times advised. But these are probably
insufficient on animals, while the appli-
cation of a stronger remedy than any
above mentioned, like glacial acetic acid,
might leave scar, unless very care

The Smoothing Harrow.

Mr.. Kent's recent note leads us to
print the following from Farm and
Garden: "Some of our neighbors shook
their heads when we had our corn and
potato field narrowed thoroughly with
the Thomas Smoothing Harrow in May,
after the rows could plainly be seen.
We even had some rows of beans and
peas narrowed in the same way. The
operation did not hurt either of the
vegetables, but pulverized and smoothed
the whole surface of the field, killed all
the weeds and forwarded the vegetation
wonderfully. This narrowing takes the
place of cultivating and hoeing at the
same time, at one-tenth the labor, and
makes clean fields. But it needs deep
planting. We plant all the vegetables
mentioned from three to four inches
deep" AS our contemporary says, it
makes clean fields" but it requires
clean fields, too-fields free from coarse
trash and stones, well plowed and
leveled before planting.

Obstructed Teat.

Mr.. Editor:--It is with difficulty that
the milk is drawn the past week from
one teat of a valuable COW thirteen
years old. Nothing can be discovered
out of condition except that she milks
extremely hard in the one teat only
A neighbor reports similar case last
year, which ended in useless teat this
season. What is the cause of the
trouble and the cure? D.
REPLY.-The cause in such cases is
obscure. If there has been no injury
by disease or violence, or by trick,
such as showing straw up the teat
Gas boys have been known to do), the
probable cause is gradual thickening
of the mucous membrane lining the
duct. There may be, however, small
tumor, or other growth within, not
recognizable by ordinary manipulation.
In an old cow such a case, coming on
gradually and without external cause,
is probably not durable, except perhaps
by skilled veterinary practitioner.
We are at a loss what to advise that in
an unskilled hand might not do harm
rather than good. The careful use of a
silver milk-tube, or a rubber bougie,
might aid in detecting the cause, and so
far indicating the proper treatment, if
any were likely to do good.

a BED of geraniums, petunias, Ian
tanas and other easiy-grown plants, if
well cared for, will be more satisfactory
than rare plants, which require the care
and attention of an expert grower.
SUCCESS in Horticulture depends vastly
more on the care bestowed on the plants
than on the large amount of money eX-
pended. Yet for all this many people
will naturally spend great deal of
money on high-priced and rare plants,
afterward giving them no attention.
SAYS Good housekeeping: " Women
were patterned by nature to be house
keepers, and good ones. Let them
vote, if they will; let them 90 into pro-
fessonal life and the labors that were
once monopolized by men; let them do
what they will, they are yet physically,
morally and feelingly best fitted to

IT is not hard for mans disposition
to be changed A word does it some
times-a bright thought breaking in
upon the mind; reflection, as it were,
from a mirror, which shows the man
his fault; but it must come from with
out; it cannot spring from within. No
man was ever converted from the error
of his ways by a slow process of self
reasoning. But he has been brought
up " all standing" as it is said, by a
sudden thought or circumstance.

carefully tended and watched, the
money damages in loss of fruit and
injury to the vines and trellis was no
inconsiderable matter.
Now when the parents of nightly
marauders take this view of the case,
what is to be done? Our friend did
what was exactly the right thing, and
procured the arrest of the boys, who,
by the mistaken leniency of the dis
trict Judge, were let off with small
fine. We say the small fine was mis-
take, for the reason that it sets the
price of wilfu mischief too low. Had
the boys, instead of stealing, or helping
to steal, hundred pounds of grapes,
worth perhaps five dollars, stolen five
dollars worth of sheets and shirts from
a clothes-ine, they would not by any
means have got off so easily. The stat
ute provides that whoever wilfully
and maliciously enters an orchard
nursery, garden or cranberry meadow
and takes away, mutilates or destroys a
tree, shrub or vine, or steals, takes and
carries away any fruit or flower without
the consent of the owner thereof shall
be punished by fine not exceeding $500
or by Imprisonment in the house of
correction not exceeding six months"
If in one case in country neighbor-
hood anything like that maximum fine
were imposed, or the offender should be
given chance to enjoy the hospitality
of the county for few weeks at the
house of correction, the practice of
hooking :" fruit in that locality would
speedily become uncommon.-Ne,C En-
