General Care of the Feet of the Horse.
Rural New Yorker.

The foot is one of the most important
and complicated members of the horse
economy; moreover it is a member more
liable to injury and disease than any
other part of the animal. And yet how
many members of the Rural are there
that ever give any special attention to
the condition and care of the hon ses'
feet? Many appear to believe that the
only attention the feet of a horse requires
to be reshod whenever a shoe becomes
loosened or lost, whethcri it Is in one or
six months,
While bad shoeing is undoubtly the pro-
life cause of diseases of the feet due large
IN to the deplorable condition of our far
rier system still there are many other
matters in the care of the feet that every
farmer can and ought to look after.
Through this carele ssuess and lnatten-
ton, and l may say ignorance, especially
on the part of the average farrler, more
horses are either blemished, permanent
ly injured, or ruined than by any other
method. An occasional systematic IN
spection of the feet and limbs should be
made, to see that they are being kept IN
the proper healty condition. Inls VIII
enable the owner TO discover any slight
injury or disease in the earlier stages,
when treatment is comparatively simple,
and recovery much more certain. 1t VIII
also cultivate habit of observation that
will be invaluable to every horse-owner.
Whether at work or standing idle, all
dirt and manure collecting IN the shoe
should be daily removed, preferably at
evening, with blunt pointed iron lnstru-
ment. If allowed to remain il dries re-
tains or increases the heat of the foot :
and tends to drying and brittleness OF the
sole During the winter there Is very lit
tie danger from drying and contraction
but during the heat and drouths OF sum

BERGEN.
A City OF Old Buildings. Rain. and Fish-His
torical "reminiscences.
Boston Herald

Boston Herald
There are only three large cities in Nor
way. Christiania has the greatest number
of inhabitants. and is the capital. Thron.
dhjen is the oldest, and perhaps the most
famous historically. Bergen is best known
for its interesting old buildings and its
fish 1t lies for the most part on hilly
peninsula, and on three sides are steep
mountains whose tops are almost always
cloud covered. There are four distinct
SUBMITS, though after one has become ac
climated and received due instruction, he
will learn that there are three more peaks
for Bergen like ancient Rome, is "city
of seven hills" and in token thereof has
blazoned them on her scutcheon beneath
n fortified castle. These mountains are
considered the cause of the heavy rainfall
for which Bergen has long been noted,
They attract the clouds, which then pour
their waters into the town, seyenty-twO
inches falling during the year. This has
been an unusually rainy summer, and out
of six consecutive weeks here there have
been but four bright days. So notorious
is Bergen weather that story is told Of
an old Dutch skipper who for twenty years
had brought goods to the town, and always,
when he reached his port, it was raining
or very misty. One day when he arrived
it happened to be bright and clear, which
so surprised the worthy sea dog that he
felt he must have mistaken his course and
gone into the wrong harbor so he set sail
again and hunted for many weeks along
the shore in search of Bergen wharves, with
the rain and wet.
Aiergvin, the "pasture among the noun
tains," is said to have been founded
by famous old king, Olaf Cyrre, on the
site of an ancient royal residence. For
many years it was the largest and most
prosperous city in Norway, though anum-
Der of battles and naval conflicts took
place in its vicinity. About the year 1910
the town first began to come under the
control of the Hansetic league, which for
upward of two hundred years, welded
powerful influence on the trade of all ma
TONS Bergen soon became the entire
center of export for all the fish of Norway.
The Mortimer came down in their broad
beamed. double-ended ''iegts,' bringing
loads of dried cod and herring to exchange
with the German traders for dry goods
and other merchandise All along the
north side of the harbor Is the T. dskebry-
gro or German quai, on which were built
warehouses, many of which are stu IN
use. On the pier in front of each Is
simple crane. made like an oldfashloned
well-sweep, and used for unlnading the
fish from the boats. These storehouses or
guards pronounced 'goards' belonged TO
merchants in Bremen, Lubbock, or some
other Hanseaitic, city and each was under
the control of a head clerk, responsible
for all the business transacted. Each
gard consisted of one long building with
an M-shaped. red-tiled roof and straight
passageway leading through the center to
different parts of the storehouse. one
of these guards has been preserved intact
and contains many interesting curlosltle'
of the old days.

The garden should be open to the sky,

THE VOYAGE.
BY ELLEN W. CARY.

The stream that leaped from mountain soarce
Grew wider in It's downward course,
But STILL together and alone,
The maiden and the youth went on,
They heard the ripples lap and plasb.
They saw tbs white ara CLEAN and flash.
The dcwy flush Of morn had fled,
The sun shone brightly overhead.
The youth rowec bravely onward stu
But shoals and rapids taxed his skill.
The maiden's face was sweet and fair,
But on her face were lines of care.
The flowers that bloomed in her white hand,
When first he drew his boat to land,
Were scattered now along the stream,
Withered and scorcsed by MONDAY beam;
Yet they had left ait they hao known,
And must go Gown the steam alone.
And though her heart was filed with fears,
She smiled upon him through her tears,
And said. Il trust my life 10 you:
Never was boatman half so true
The rivers tide went sweeping on.
The woman down the stream bad gone.
