PRESERVING THE FROG.
How to Take Care Of Cushions Beneat
the Feet of UOrses.

How to Tal<o Care OF Cushions Beneath
the Feet of Horses.
If, in seeking a horse, we take up the
foot and find the frog well-preserved;
the cushion, so to speak, wide, full ana
soft, the probability is that the re.
mainder of the foot will be in good or.
der. There may be an exception tc
this in the case of a used-up horse hav.
ing been turned out to pasture for 6
period long enough to permit the frog
to take on new growth. 1.-THE frog be
fully protected and well maintained.
the hoof will be found but little, if al
all contracted, for the very good reason
that the hoof can not readily contract
if the frog be up to its normal size in
every way. But it is the smith, the
horse-shoer, who ruins the frog; that is,
very many of them do this. During the
many years that the writer has driven
horses, he has always made it rule to
he present during the shoeing, and has
never permitted more than the slightest
trimming of the frog, nothing more
than the trimming off of insignificant
parts, already nearly detached. The
smith can mutilate and seriously dam
age the hoof by the use of the rasp;
but. fortunately, the frog is proof
against attacks by this instrument, and
even the knife requires to be sharp,
else the peculiar nature Of the frog will
resist. Fever in the feet is prolific
source of injury to the frog, and should
be overcome at the earliest possible
day. Confinement upon a dry, plank
floor is damaging by keeping up too
complete a state OF dryness. Cutting
the frog away at the time Of shoeing,
then setting the foot upon caulkins, in
such manner as to prevent the frog
from pressing upon the ground, will,
sooner or later, interfere with It's de.
:velopment and usefulness. The most
function of the frog is to les.
isen the shock to the foot in its contact
with tho ground. This being the fact,
1T should be so maintained, and the
jshoe be so constructed that at every
step the frog can come in for a fair
share of the pressure upon whatever
substance the horse is required to tread.

1t Is not many years since building as
sociations were looked upon with strong
distrust by workmen. They could not
understand the methods upon which
the associations were based, and be-
cause they could not or rather would
not, they refused to take advantage of
the opportunities they offered. All
ing association in this country was
organized in New York. but before
it was in successful operation ten had
been organized in New York, but be-
fore it was in successful operation ten
had been organized in Philadelphia,
and the members were reaping the
benefits by building homes. A paper
published in the interest of building
associations gives the following statis-
tics: In New York there are 1000
associations; in Philadelphia, 300;
Boston, $50; Chicago, 300; St. Louis,
70. In St. Louis, in the past five years,
it is estimated that $500 homes have
been built by members of building as
sociations. That these associations
have done a great work in melting
salaried men to build their own homes
there can be no doubt. Manufacturers
ought to encourage their men to build
homes. 1t is safe to say that any work.
man who owns his own home will be
more attentive to his work and more
faithful to his employer. In furnish
ing an employee an opportunity and a
motive to save, the employer would
foster a feeling of mutual interest be-
tween him and his mon that would
work to his interest. This has been
done successfully in Philadelphia, and
there is no reason why it can not be
done just as successfully anywhere
else.-Stoves and Hardware.
