CONTRACTED FEET.
An English Experts Plan for Keeping a
 Horses Feet Right.

An English Experts Plan for Keeping a
 Horses Feet Right.
 To keep horses feet right or cure them when disease of any kind settles in them Is not all the work of the farrier, says an expert. The owner of the horse should take his share of the work. With con- tracted feet the first thing to do is to bathe we'll in warm salt water. This is to soften them and check fever. Next put on poultice made out of inseed meal three nights in succession.
 Now comes the shoeing. First pre- pare the foot. Pare the sole down good, leaving the bars; open out the heels well all they will stand. This is one of the great secrets in spreading feet. To open the heels we'll don't take any off the sides of the frog, but open up good in the center, well forward. The shoe should be a stiff one, but not wide in the web. Put four calks on the shoe. Heat the heels of the shoe one at time. Take the hot iron rasp and rasp them to well outward. Put on the shoe to clear the foot at the heels, so that it will take an ordinary jackknife one-half inch from point when the horses weight comes on the foot. He does his own spreading of the foot. Use good hoof ointment three times week. In six or nine months the feet have been spread from three-fourths to one and one-fourth inches.
 Plant Food.
 Chemical analysis reveals to us the constituents assimilated by plants in their growth, and which are necessary to their life and continued existence. The leading elements of plant food are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. These are le important clements of all the commercial fertilizers. About four fifths of the atmosphere consists of nitro gen, but whether atmospheric nitrogen contributes directly to the nutrition of plant. is disputed question about which scientists advance different opinions. To the practical farmer it is far moro important to know how to furnish plant food in requisite quantities and at sea- sonable times than to know how nitro gen is furnished to the plants by the at mosphere.
 It has been well ascertained that the centage of nitrogen in their composition, so marked that a German professor calls them nitrogen collectors, while such crops as grass, grain, potatoes, turnips, tobacco, cotton, etc., are chased as con- sumers of nitrogen. On this knowledge of.the composition of plants is based the theory of rotation in crops, which is so well exemplifed in the good effects to the cereals following 8 crop of clover. peas, etc., either when iplowed under eo decay rwhen used as animal food, with the manure produced returned to the soil as nourishment for different crop.

Funeral services were held from the Ward farm, her brothers residence, Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock, Rev B. H. Burch. of Middletowp. N. Y, officiating. Pitts field Journal, Sept 3.
