The Horse,s Foot.

Ignorant blacksmiths often attempt
to give the foot of horse better
shape 10y rasping the shell. While the
shape may he improved somewhat in a
few eases, it should be borne in mind
that the manner in which it is done is
one of the most injurious operations
that can be performed Oh the foot. The
shell which is thus taken away is i'm
perviOus, and does not allow the moist
ure of the foot to evapOrate and be-
come dry, hard and brittle. See to it
that this is not done the next time you
have occasion to employ blacksmith.

Overlooking Hogs.

The popular idea that Il hog cannot
hurt itself by overlooking is erroneous.
Even if fattening, it is better to give
only what can be eaten up clean at one
time and at regular intervals. If the
feeding occurs at stated times each day
the hogs will lie down and sleep in the
intervals, and this will fatten them
faster and be more healthful than
keeping food before the animals all the
time. A mess of partially eaten food
left in the trough is distasteful even to
IA hog, and makes him eat less in guam
tity and with less relish than he other
wise would.

Notes.

Mr.. Andrew :. Fuller mentions men
who ia past years expended hundreds
of dollars on orange groves in Florida,
and "have yet 10 see the first cent of
profit" He thinks there is as much
risk in the pursuit of this fruit as in
planting apples or pears at the North
and no greater promise of return.
Not a great ways back in the past it
was rather unusual to find "A farmer

How They Keep Warm in Dakota.

OF the many hardships with which
the pioneer has had to contend, none
have perhaps been greater than that of
providing his family with the necessa-
~ fuel for winter. Twisted hay has
been the settlers main fuel, for with
soft coal at IS and hard coal at $l2
per ton but few could afford the luxury
of IA coal fire. While twisted hay Is
not to be sneezed at as heat-producer,
still it has its drawbacks; not the least
of which has been the time consumed
in preparing it. How often has set
tier been called from his work to "twist
just few twists" to finish baking
None but those who have been there
can have an idea of the annoyance and
loss of time caused by fulfilling such
little requests. Ia winter, if one de-

Can't Have Something for Nothing.

Now, says Il writer in an exchange,
| have come to this conclusion that in
all the places that | have been, people
cannot get a living without work, and
that if we wish to raise good stock we
must feed them, and give them good
shelter in the winter, and if we wish
good farms we must feed or manure
them. What holds good in one place
holds good in others.

THE HORSE TRADE.
San Antonio One Of the Largest Markets
IN the Country.

Few persons outside of the horse
trade have any idea Of the proportions
assumed by that branch Of industry.
The trade has been constantly on the
increase, until now it is very import
ant factor in the commerce of this city.
The stock is usually what are known As
range horses, which are Above TO run
wild on the range until from to years
Of age, when they are gathered up and
driven TO this market. The horse cOun-
r. tributary TO this IN arket is the south
ern por, OF the State and neighbor-
ing States in Mexico. They are driven
to pastures near the city and stock
yards and there held for Mort n
ern buyers. The market for the
major part is in the northwestern
states, where farmers like the mares for
breeding purpose on account of their
hardness. cross between them and
finer breeds, producing tough and
hardy work and carriage horse. The
geldings are more In demand in the cat
tie range country Of New Mexico, Colo
RADIO Montana and Wyoming Also
quite a market is being established for
Texas horses in the Southern States.
along the Gulf east of here, and several
parties are engaged in shipping to Flor
ida. Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.
The great majority OF horses are shipped
from here by rail. although several large
herds were driven last year To the north
and northwest.
The number of horses shipped from
San Antonio direct during the wear 1885.
aggregated 81, 2Gf head. Add TO this 80
per cent, as having been sold on the
ranch by the commission men and
shipped from the nearest point TO the
ranch, which wOuld be lO,OS9. and about
5000 had driven out, and the aggregate
nunueT OF horse sold in san Antonio
for the Year lSS5 reaches u, $50 head.
putting the average price at $40 head,
YOU have the snug little sum Of S9O7 ,0l0,
or nearly a million of dollars. OF late
much atttnIiO is being paid by ranch
men in securing fine blOoded stations,
and breeding up on the native stock,
thereby very materially enhancing the
market value of the Texas horse. Texas
has gained a wide reputation for tough
and health horses, but owing TO the lack
Of sysIem and care in breeding the horses
became quite stunted. The present ef-
forts on the part of ranchmen TO improve
their horses will bring the Texas horses
10 the front rank, and may yet be-
come a formidable rival of the world re-
nOwned Kentucky horses.

Prince Charles and the Jesurts.

LONDON, January 9.-Prince Charles
III. of Monaco and the Jesuils had a
quarrel recently which has resulted IN
the Jesuits being driven from the do
mains of the Prince. 1t seems that 20
years ago the Jesults rented some prop
vent and school, the latter being for in
struciion of the soils of Italian noble
men. Having built a handsome resi-
dsnce at San Reno and removed the ef-
fects OF the convent and the members
of the order connected there with to that
town because Of the unenviabls reputs-
ton which Monte CARO- obtained
through its gaming tables, the Jesuits
asked the Prince to repay hem the sum
Of 20S,00O francs they had spent in i'm.
proving the convent. This the Prince
refused to do, and the Jesuits prose
cuied him, whereupon he expelled
them from his dominiOns. The subjects
Of the Prince nave implored him to
rescind his order OF expulsion. But
