Numbered with other questions that
are argued by practical, sensible men,
and likely never to come to any decided
settlement, Is the one, "Shall farm horses
be shod or notS" That this controversy
must be settled by each man for himself
lies in the fact that some horses under
certain conditions can go without shoes.
and in truth are better without them; but
that no horse under all conditions can
work or travel barefooted. In an article
on this subject in The American Agricul-
turist appears the testimony Of various In
dividuals In different sections OF the
country.
a correspondent writing from Iowa
considers il an unnatural proceeding to
shoe horse. He says:
''If one examines the hoof Of a colt that
has never been shod it will be found that
there IL n sharp edge on the under side
The object Of this is that the animal may
go on smooth reads. II the horse Is never

| From Wisconsin n correspondent writes
OF his experience with both shod and bart

One matter is pretty probable we are only at the beginning of 8 severe winter and the news from the Pennsylva- mia coal regions is as the "Star' describes, .sdoleful as to the present and ominous for the future" The number of strikers in the Schuylkin and Lehigh valley is estima- ted to approach to 10000, and the deter imitation of the employers not to yield seems equal to that of the workers. We cannot, even at this distance, be unmind- ful of the cost and inconvenience which this condition of things will entail on our citizens. Strikes in other fields of labor, and attendant lock-outs, may be pursued without much immediate public suffering !; but in prime necessary of comfort-aye of life-in this winter season, a coal famine produced b. ignorance or obstinacy, or

THE Mayor in his inaugural address to the City Council on Monday evening said: "The system of lighting the streets by electricity has become a favored member of our municipal family circle of necessa- ries and conveniences." In the official document the word lighting is printed lightning. Perhaps it was so meant, and if so would not be wholly inappropriate. The people are satisfied with general re- suits although some complain of the un pleasant and blinding glare. There is, however, with all the advantages possibili- ties of danger. There is death ill the wires. The New York 'sMail and Express" tells how contact with fallen electric wires is immediately fatal. Our contemporary says: ''It is certain that the car horse kill ed in the streets on Sunday night did not die in vain He enforced in the most ob- vious way the fact that the touch of the wire lying on the streets was fatal, and saved them as many men or boys as might have heedlessly put their hands upon it; while he has contributed one more to the many examples hitherto given on the sub ject of this new evil" It is very difficult to get it into the minds of people that 8 mere bit of wire hanging down in the street may not be safely put out of the way; that around such a familiar and inno- cent lookine obstacle it is worth ones while to pass with as much care as would be used if one were striking light in 8 powder magazine. Many life has been lost in this way. As an accompaniment to the Mayors jubllant reference to the value of the electric light we would merely supply the ingredient of suggestion for cautionary treatment of the wires. Pre- vention is better than cure, and examples are not wanting to give point to the eau tion. Do not meddle with the electric wires in position or suspended.
