sued from the Department of War: I'm
preparing the horses foot for the shoe
do not touch with the knife the frog,
sole or bars. In removing surplus
growth of that part of the foot which is
the scat of the shoe use the cutting pin
GERS and rasp and not the knife. The
shoeing-knife may be used If necessary
in using the top clip. Opening the heels
or making q cut in the angle Of the wall
at the heel must not be allowed. The
rasp may be used upon the part of the
foot when necessary and the same ap-
plies to the pegs. No cutting with the
knife is permitted. the rasp alone is
necessary. Flat-footed horses should be
treated as the necessity of each case may
require. In forging the shoe to fit the
foot he careful that the shoe is fitted to
and follows the circumference of the
foot clear round to the heels; the heels
of the shoe should not be extended back
straight and outside of the walls at the
heels of the horses foot. as is frequent
ly done. Care must be used that the
shoe is not fitted too small, the outside
surface of the wall being then rasped
down to make the foot short to suit the
shoe, as often happens. The hot shoe
must not be applied to the horses foot
under any circumstances. Make the
upper of foot surface of the shoe per
fectly fat SO rs to give q level bearing.
A shoe with concave ground surface
should be used"

places them in the other species. IL is
very likely. as DIR. Sersno Watson sug-
gcsts to me, that theJ two species run
together, and that the California trees
represent a variation towards j. Mand-
chourica.
The species might te called with
better propricty the japanese butter
nut. The nuts are borne in long cluS-
tiers which often hold from fifteen to
twenty specimens. Nuts are shown,
with the husks on and removed, in the
illustration. The shell is thinner than
that Of our butternut, and the kern.l is
sweet and rich, much as in our species.
The tree itself is attractive. It appears
to be one of the most promising Of re-
cent acquisitions.
According to Luther Burbank, 1.-The
species is of easy culture. 1t accommo-
dates itself to the same soils as its con-
geners, and grows with great vigor. It
is easily grated by approach upon our
common walnut English walnut?l, and
its trunk retains the same dimensions rs
the stock; but it is by seed that it should
be multiplied. 1t reproduces itself pee
fectly true, and If the young plants re-
main bushy during the first years. the
tree shoots afterwards, and. thanks to
its rapid growth. promptly assumes
large dimensions" Prof Wickson says
that the species first gained prominence
in 1881. when the California State Hor-
ticultural Society referred the question
of its botanical afiinitieS to q. p. Xix

BRAN FOR FEEDING.


4 CeoeeatrateA Food Possessing CcnSlst.
cradle Nutritive Value.
Wheat bran Is q concentrated food
and possesses considerable nutritive
value. It contains rather an excess OF
feed to young or growing stock, as it
develops bone and muscle. 1t Is o
splendid feed to use in connection with
poor bulky feeds, like straw, fodder
and roots; fed with them it will aid
materially to make up q complete
ration. BY using it, the objection to
selling grain, rather than to feed out to
stock, is largely overcome. Wheat and
potatoes can be grown and sold of the
farm if bran is purchased and used in
connection with other materials, as
bran retains . large proportion OF the
mineral elements.
In feeding, the animals take out GER
tain parts that contain animal nutrition
and leave considerable plant food that
is saved in the manure, and can b.:
added to the soil to retain its fertility.
During the winter it can be mixed
with corn meal, weight for weight, to
good advantage, lessening the cost OF
feeding and at the same time adding to
the fertility of the farm. 1t is de-
sirable. to large extent at least, II the
fertility of the soil is to be kept up. to
plan and carry out a good system OF TO
tation, and in doing this there will DO
more or less products that ought to be
marketed to good advantage. But in
doing this something else should be
used to take the place of what is mar
keted. If this is not done, nearly or
quite every thing that is grown should
be fed out to vigorous, thrifty stock
and the manure be- saved. If any is
sold sufficient quantity of other ma
terials should be purchased to take its
place; bran and oil meal are the two
principal materials that can be used in
this way, and where this is done good
supply of coarse rough feed can be pur-
chased and used, even if it is necessary
to sell portion of the grain.
This is especially the case in feeding
growing stock. and with milk cows, if
fed in connection with corn meal and
oil meal, it will aid to increase both The
quality and quantity of the milk.
One Of the best rations that can be
made up for the milk cO,:A during tn
winter is clover or millet hay with corn
and oil meal and wheat bran. Roots
can be added when they can be had con-
veniently, and in doing this have the
value of the manure increased.
At the price bran can usually be Sc
cured at, it can be used at least through
the winter to q good advantage and
more stock be kept in proportion to the
grain than would otherwise be possible.

rRAMPlNc IN WINTER.

Don't Allow Stock to Roan Through the
Meadows and Pastures.
Meadows and pastures are often in
jured considerably by Glowing the
stock to tramp over them during the
winter and early spring when the
ground is soft Their feet press the
grass plants SO deep into the soil that
they are killed out; besides. the soil is
made rough and uneven.
The small quantity of feed that can
be obtained at this season in the
meadows is more than overbalanced by
the damage to the grass plants and
the land. Il is not altogether the dam
age to the grass, but the land is packed
and tramped down SO that il will re-
quire considerable work to get it back
into proper condition. If the land
is to be plosved in the spring and the
stock are allowed TO tramp over it the
effect will be plainly evident when it is
being plowed and prepared for a grow
ing crop. A soil that has been tramped
over when it is thawed out during the
winter will turn mp hard and lumpy in
the spring and will require more work
in narrowing and dragging to get into .
suitable filth for planting. In some
cases in the pastures, meadows and in
wheat fields it may be profitable when
there has been q good growth in the
fall to pasture to some extent during
the winter. but it should be done only
when the ground is frozen hard enough
TO bear up the stock or is thawed out and
settled SO that the tramping will not be
injurious. But under average conditions
tic better plan is to feed and keep the
stock in the stable and feed lots during
the winter rather than allow them to
tramp over the fields, whether pastures,
meadows or plowed land. A little csrs
in this respect will often not only ssve
considerable damage to the land, but
will also lessen the work necessary for
the spring crops.-St Louis Republic.
