Horses Feet.

There is too much neglect OF the feet
of horses. When they are unshod. the
feet will generally take care of them
selves and keep from getting foul; but,
when they are shod, they must be fire
quently cleaned out, or the earth and
manure will pack so tightly inside of the
shoes that the bottom of the feet W n get
sore, and about the fog Inflammation
Will set in, and the result will be a disease
known as thrush. This may be cured by
Washing the creases along the frog with
dllution of carboic acid, or with brine
and then pac ing dry salt in the spaces.
The packing OF the earth will often make
horse lame, and it is sure to do so if a
gravel or small stone is pressed into the
sole OF the foot and Kept there. Some.
times The gravel will force its way
through the sole and only come out at
the Top of the foot When this is the
case he horse is very lame and it takes a
month or two for it to get over the pain
ful trouble. The feet of a horse should
always be cleaned out after drive in the
mud, and when they are pac Aed with
snow. The bottom OF the foot and the
frog should be let alone both by owner
and blacksmith. and not be cut down. A
morse wants all its frog to reduce the Jar
OF travel aud to protect the bottom of the
hoof. 1t will wear away as fast as it is
necessary. The feet of horses are cut
down too much, and many a good one
is ruined by fancy shoeing. Our Oola-

A Wonder Bird

I had not been many minutes on the
key before l discovered a large snow
white bird nesting on the ground under
a spray of Rhacichallis. It's wings were
barred with jet black; its bill was
bright yellow, and tapered to spear
like point, which forbade too close
familiarity. This proved to be the
yeIlow-billed tropic bird (Phpton fiavi-
rostris), and we afterward caught several
in our hand, taking them from the nest.
When held un by the wings they strike

OF the hens, and is finely sprinkled
with reddish brown, so a to appear of
an almost uniform tint. One of these
birds, which my companion shot and
slightly wounded, flew a short distance
and then alighted on the water. As we
sailed toward it, first one and then an
other bird came and hovered over it as

FARM AND GARDEN.
SAVIOR IN pnIrr saltine.

A Wisconsin dairyman lately told me
he milked seventeen COWS the past sea.
son and early in the summer ran out OF
salt, and having read in an agr cultural
paper that cows do just as well without
salt he neglected to get another barrel.
The drouth came, the milk-fow dropped
to about 200 pounds day, which gave
no profit, nor did il increase after the
pastures were freshened by rains. He
bought carload of mllstulf and began
feeding, but still received only 22O
pounds of milk day, and several of the
cows would hold up their milk once or
twice a week. Then he began to salt
regularly every day, and the cows i'm.
proved at once and the increase was
steady until on'the same feed they were
producing $40 pounds of milk day, and,
instead of being kept at loss, yielded a
tair profit. The farmer needs to be
wideawake and careful. A well bal.

been found that will lully satisfy the

A Dog with Spectacles.

County, Ky, is dog story that ought
to pass muster; "An aged hound, be-
longing to Charles Roby, had for several
months been almost totally blind. He
no longer needed the hunt,man's bugle,
but roamed about the yard in de ected
manner. A few days since some children.
while playing with him, placed on his
nose pair of spectacles which contained
powerful lens. He at once began to
romp around as he did in the days of his
puppyhoOd. They were securely fastened
before his eyes and on the following day.
when the other dogs were called for the
chase, he joined, and was in the lead
when his glasses were pulled off by the

wanted them replaced. When thew are
removed he whines and growls, but

We have taken the trouble 10 make an In
Vestigation from The hest sources, aud we
give the results TO our readers
What astonshes us Is the general indiffer.

DO not sound the alarm Of their diseased con

lew nerves, hence few suspect that there is
any disease in them Irritation, inhamma-
ton, liberation set in, and then the little
tubes, Of which the kidneys ars full, are de-
stroyed and thrown of, and from this fact
are called tube casts

question OF how fast decomposition goes on

The most remarkable thing Of all our in

First he may possibly feel q dull pain in
his back generally upon one side, which does
not debar him from his usual business rou-
tine. After a time he may begin to feel
neuralgia pains, or have a slight attack OF
what he may call rheumatism, or headache
with high or dark colored urine, with an nm
pleasant sensation in its passage, and after
standing showing an unnatural condition.
Later on, come tired feelings, loss OF ambi-
tion or vigor, or loss Of or failing eyesight.

dition OF the stomach Any one Of these
symptoms is liable to occur.
This no doubt explains why the proprietors
