smith who understands his business
will place hot shoe to horses foot
and let it burn the hoof until it fits
itself. Fit the shoe to the foot not the
foot to the shoe. The heels should be
kept open to prevent contraction Of
the hoof. The shoes should bechanged
about once in every four weeks.
Colts are often permanently injured
by being shod too heavily in front,
thereby straining the muscles of the
legs and springing them at the knees.
When first handled colt should be
shod with a twelve ounce shoe-not
heavier If it is necessary, ia speed
ing him, to have more weight in front,
use toe weights. Then your colt will
not be compelled to carry the extra
weight all the time.
CLIPPING HORSES.
Mr.. Simnacker does not like clip
ping horses, except to trim the fetlocks
and legs. 1t is cruel practice. In
summer they are tormented by flies
and in winter they must be kept
blanketed constantly to keep them
from taking cold. Clipping is a good
thing for lazy horsemen. because
clipped horse can be easily groomed.
1t is far better, however, to use the
curry comb and brush, and leave the
covering as nature provided it.
FEEDING AND CARE OF HORSES.
Horses if properly attended to rarely
get sick They should be fed and
watered regularly. If a horse loses
his appetite, decrease the quantity of.
food. The stable should be kept per-
fectly clean and the horse given plenty
of fresh clean straw. Horses should
be kept. if possible, loose in stalls.
They can rest better than when hafS
tered. A horse in training should be
groomed every morning, and fed two
quarts of oats before coming out of the
stable. Then after half hour or.
more of exercise he should be taken
back to the stable, thoroughly dried
and cleaned, and an hour or SO after
wards have two quarts more of oats.
At noon he should be fed two quarts
of oats and in the evening two quarts
of oats and two quarts of chop, mixed
together and fed dry. Mr.. Simnacher
feeds but little hay, only about two
pounds at night and occasionally a
bite during the day. Many persons
depend more upon feed than attention
for keeping their horses in good condi-
ton. but to get the best service out of
a horse elbow grease is required.
A horse that has been or is to be
speeded should be watered with great
care. He should not be Allowed to
d the track, and after be comes Off
nould have mouthful. Then when
ntirely cooled off and cleaned, he may
ave all he wants.

THE GOOD AND PURE OF EARTH.

The good and pure Of earth-to them
Sweet nature ever sings;
And lends unto their joyous souls
The rainbow OF her wings;
And this wide world, with all lis JOY,
Must to their vision seem
Ar II il were but shadow OF
Some lingering holy dream.
For they who own a loving heart
Are but the ones who trace
Their own reflex Of hope and JOY
In every mortals face
And joyous eyes and joyous hearts
Al other JOYS enhance;
And bright and holy sunshine beams
In every passing glance.
Though, on this earth so beautiful,
Are mean and common things,
Yet. if hey are bu, sheltered meath
Loves hright and ample wings;
Il they ar. bending meath her lsok,
SO lovely and benign;
Then they p'rtake her nature, which
Is holy, so I, divine
And barren hyarts, though sunk in sin.
Grow good, and rich. and wise,
W "HNu II WISH u loOh,
For such co.Apanion's eyes;
And rugged nstnies, coarse and harsh,
By love and mellow d down
And smiles and goodness take the place
Where once Was haired's fcown.

To us were little worth,
Did not His angels, pare and fair,

Who, like the moonlight iair,

Upon the troubled air;
And oft hsve We in SORROWS hours,
When plangei 10 losely thought,

In bitterness have sought:

Training and Breaking Colts.

Mr.. Adam Simnacher, lessee Of the
Bel Air, Md, fair grounds gives the
-Lyjs Of that place some valuable sug-
gestions on the handling of colts and
care of horses, from which we take the
following:
Mr.. Simnacher don't believe in the
use of the whip in breaking horses,
but relies on the law of kindness.
Horses, he thinks, should be trained
and taugh almost like children. Oc-
casionally, but very rarely, he says, it
is necessary to correct horse for a
fault by a whipping This is only
where "a horse refuses to do a thing
that he has done before and when you
are satisfied the animal is acting from
perverseness.
A colt that has been spoilt or allow
ed to kick or run away at the outset is
more difficult to break than one that
has never been handled. 1t is easier,
with horses as with children, to teach
them good habits at first than to erad-
cate bad habits before the good ones
are taught.
If your horse, in driving away a fly,
in the stable, throws his head against
You, don't strike him over the head,
and on no account suffer your coach
man or WAGNER to strike one of your
horses on the head. Horses are often
ruined in this way. Besides the dan
ger of permanent physical injury they
become so nervous that if YOU APP
proach them when tied they will pull
back aud break the halter.
In breaking colt first teach him to
have confidence in you and to regard
you AS his best friend. Unless you do
this you cannot meet with the best
success. Teach the colt to know that
no matter what you may do with him
you will not cause him pain. BY
kird treatment in two weeks | have
had colts so fond of me that they
would follow me around by the hour
without bride.
Such colts object very much to har.
ness, particularly to the crupper, bat
with gentleness and patience they will
soon get over that. After getting
them used to harness teach them the
use of the bit and words of command
/ Never jerk or snatch the lines. \
/ horses mouth is as sensitive as your
! Gnger. After the colt has progressed
this far in his education he may be
harnessed up. Have good strong har
ness; See that it fits we'll. Never let &
horse know that You are afraid of him
Let him understand that you are his
master. but \ kind. considerate one

getting him to 60. IT there is, be pa
tent Never lose your temper and
your horse will not lose his.
Do not keep your colt in harness too
long at first, but accustom him grad
ually to the use of the harness. After
you have trained him to pull your
break cart over the place take him out
on the road. In little while he will
become accustomed to the novelty of
things along the road, and by the
sans kind treatment You can accnstom
him to pass without fear steam thresh-
ers or locomotives.
ANY horse can be taught good hab
its instead of bad, if not too old. 1t
is hard to teach an old horse new
tricks.
HOW TO CURE 4 FULLER.
There are numerous devices in use
| by horsemen to cure horse of pull
ing on the bride or halter. The most
common Of these is to place a thin
rope under the horses tail, bring the
ends through the terrets on the sad
die, thence through the rings on the
bride and fasten the ends to the fence
or rack where he has been placed.
Whenever the horse pulls back he is
surprised to find the rope cutting him
in the rear, and the more violently be
.Ethrows himself back the more severe
/ The twitch he receives. This will
cure some horses, but occasionally il
will make horse kick and you have
two faults, instead of one.
\ better plan is to pass the rope
around the body, and carry 1t under
the breast up between the fore legs
through the bride rein and fasten il
to the rail IN front. The motion oi
the horse backward causes the rope to
press upon his back and the harder be
pulls the more severe the pressure
There is no danger Of ipjuring horse
with this contrivance and it will etlec
tuullv cure the worst halter breaker.
KICKING HORSES.
One of the most dangerous faults ;
horse can have is disposition to kick
J when harnessed to vehicle. Mr.
. Simnacher has broken some of the
very worst kickers. In curing this, az
we'll as other faults, the horse must b'
, treated gently, kindly but firmly. Mr.
Simnacher has found "a little contriv
ance of his own much more useful as
, safeguard in breadlng a kicker thar
the ordinary kicking straps. Strap
are run from the saddle hook through
t iron loops on each side of the bride
:, then passed down the jaw strap to tn
bit, passing through the rings; thel
| uack again between the ears, unde
{ the brow band and back to the saddl
: rings; passing through these and tn {
two rings on the hip straps, lin; |
! being fastened to the shafts.
With this arrangement the momen
horse raises his heels he throws hi
q head in the air. The harder he trie
a to kick the more strain there is on th
e strap pulling his head up.
SHOEING HORSES.
r Colts should be taught to be sho
t quietly. This can be done by takin
d up their feet every day, cleaning thel
e out and tapping on them with han
J" mer. Then when you want thel
t. shod there will be no difficulty. Don
a let your blacksmith pare away the fre

Long Island Sound. We attempt toE
protect our oyster beds by stringent
laws, but We fail 10y reason OF defective
administration. The machine bIights
the oyster As it does everything III
handles. In a few years our supply
will Certainly be exhausted, aud then
public attention will be so strongly
directed to the evil that 1t will be
cured. Tue state itself will advance
money 10 replenish the oyster beds.
We have ! 900 square miles Of land
under water, capable OF producing
oysters. and this We propose to have
planted By the state and kept as a
common piscary for our people forever.
| hope We will never allow our great
oyster beds to be bought up and be-
come private property. Money already
owns nearly everything. 1t owns the
running water, the land, the iron, the
coal, all the means of life, and We In,
tend to keep the Chesapeake free for
ever for our own posterlty.
} INDUCEMENTS FOR INHEsTMENT.
but our laws offer Inducements for
investment Of capital in the business
of oyster culture The taking, hand
ling and preparing of oysters now EN-
ploys 10000 and feeds 100000 Of our
population. 1t employs 5000 boats,
big and little. This business will re-
main open to the people forever under
the regulation of the state. Bat we
invite capital to engage in the 'usi-
ness of oyster growing. The owner OF
land around bay or creek, the en-,
trance to which from the bay is less
than 100 yards wide, is entitled to
plant oysters in such cove or bay and
to be protected in such enterprise.
Now in st. Mary's and Calvert coGn-
ties there are numerous lnletS from the
bay on the Potomac which may be
made into oyster plantations. Lands
controlling such lnlets may be bought
at all prices from $40 per acre to $40;
and oysters when planted, after two
years growth, will yield $1,000 pei
acre every season.
"Some of your rich people can find
no such profitable and safe invest
ments as these properties. In this
Western county you will have in the
, future social problems to solve which
are only now becoming understood
, and appreciated. Our people are
trained through generations and cent
uries in self control and love of con
stitutional liberty. They have the
courage to defend the institutions In
herited from their ancestors, and
looking to the far future, see no par
of the country which holds out suct
promise for safety of property, securlt,
for personal liberty, and peaceful anl
