Hints on Horse Shoeinp.

Now that winter is here the number Of
farm horses that wear shoes will be in
creased and the following hints pub
lished by paper devoted to the horse
interest may be helpful in having
justice done the faithful horse: Do not
let horses shoes remain on over three
to six weeks, dependent on the amount
of use and the toughness and growth of
the hoofs. Each time after taking off
the shoes, if the road permits, let him
60 barefoot as long as no injury follows,
as this expands the hoofS and keeps
them in more perfect condition. Some
horses can be used barefoot, off pave
ments, for months, CT the whole year
round, and work better than if shod.
Never allow the frog of the foot to be
cut out or trimmed unless somewhat
ragged, and then only very little, as it
acts as cushion to the foot and lessons
or even prevents bruising when striking
stone or any other hard substance.
See thal the hoof is not pared beyond
absolute necessity, and that the shoe is
properly fitted to it, and not the hoof to
the shoe. Do not allow the bottom Of
the hoof to be burnt or even scorGhed
with hot shoe, in Crder to make it set
evenly, but pare it properly to do so.
Always use the lightest shoes compa IL
Bile with the condition of the roads and
the work required of the. horse Farm,
Field and Stockmap.

What Should Happen If He Should Con-
clude to Cease His Labors.
When the humble toiler ceases to
serve, it NJ rs that the doctor will be
z nolonger driven to your door; the news
raper train will not arrive again; the
omnibus will cease to run: the postcard
will come to stand in the road; the To-
3omotive will rust in the station; the
ship will be arrested on the sea, and the
captain and passengers will perish in
their cabins. No news would come any
more from kinsmen in distant countries;
no message could go out from US to
them; the telegraph would be mute. No
labor means desolation. When toll
ceases, the fire will go out on the
hearth; light will be eXtinguished in
the dwelling and the street. Every
town will be in darkness; no protection
will then be had; the dead will lie
unburied where they die. Then
loathsome odors will arise; dead
ly exhalations\ will spread them
fselver about unchecked; fevers
will crawl about human dwell
ings like snakes, piercing with stings
that kill; the Angel of Death will move
over city and hamlet over land and sea,
unhindered unimpeded, undelayed. If
higher forms of artistic labor continued
they would not last long. The author
would have neither paper nor ink; the
painter no pigments; the singer of ''un-
dying songs" would have to get his own
Goals; and the artist who paints 'im-
mortal pictures" would have to empty
his own dust-bin.
Ofcourse, labor can not cease; if it
did, the poor would die as we'll as the
rich; but since, as any one can see, labor
largely and mainly ministers to wealth,
wealth should have the wisdom to take
care that labor shall have security and
enjoyment in the life which is 1t is
the policy of cooperation to bring this
to pass. There would be no White
chapel, whose squalid monotony is only
relieved by murder, were labor ade
quately requited. Review.

AROuT BREEDING.
Some Practical Suggestions on the Se-
lection of Breeding Stock.

Some Practical Suggestions on the Se-
lection of Breeding stock.
It is somewhat singular, says a con-
ributor to the Ohio Farmer, that while
the country abounds with well-bred
animals of every kind-horses, cattle,
sheep and swine-there Is yet super
abundance of bad stock to 5e met with IN
every direction. To certain extent,
bad land accounts for a portion of this, as
moor feed even with animals of good
blood tends to retard growth and de-
yelopment; the proof being that when
removed to better pastures, if done be-
fore they become stunted, they rapidly
improve and become good stock. Those
who farm poor land are more or less
Indifferent to the necessity of procuring
good blood, believing that the common
breeds are harder and, as in the case of
milch COWS, give greater return on
poor pastures than better bred animals
could possibly do.
Poor land does not. however, account
for all the bad stock to be met with, for
considerable portion of it may be found
on land of average quality quite capa-
BILE of carrying animals of greater value
than many found on it. The breeding
of inferior animals regardless OF the
law that like begets like, is also in a
measure responsible for this deteriora-
ton, and farmer doing this betrays a
want of attention and Indifference to his
own interests, and if large stockraiser
he must in the long run suffer severely.
Using male animals of mixed blood is
great source of injury and actual loss,
whether in the herd or flock. De-
terioration may not be Immediately no.
ticeable, but when certain point has
been reached improvement must stop;
and in the progeny of cross-bred animals
there must and always will be found a
number of weaklings not worth the
trouble of raising.
Whatever the class character of the
dams, the continued use of sires of a
distinct Breed capable of transmitting
family likeness, should constantly be
persisted in, and the man who does so
will find his stock yearly increasing in
value, the receipts correspondingly
raised, and the occupants of his pastures
wonderfully improved in appearance.
When both sire and dam are of good
blood progress is rapid, and by holding
for breeders only the young and better
animals much time is saved. Once un-
derstood, this point will ever be consid-
cred one of vital Importance, and will
not be overlooked. To any one con-
versant with stock in large numbers,
the influence of certain mOtheps is
strikingly apparent; their offspring year
after year exceeding in value that of
others of the same kind. Families are
thus founded, and men intelligent
enough to profit by improving a good
strain have gained for themselves a
name and acquired fortunes, To breed
from females which have proved them
selves Indifferent nurses, and whose
progeny are ever among the culls OF the
flock, is very short-sighted policy, and
detracts very materially from the pros
perity of those who will not take the
trouble of marking all such animals,
and getting rid of them on the first
favorable opportunity.
