Hints on ShOeiug.

Colts are born with perfect feet. Nature
intended them to run on the ground con-
stantly, and if they did their hoofs would
wear away evenly; but instead they are
kept indoors about five months of the year.
The hoofs become long and break off in
pieces from time to time. If consider
able piece breaks eff one side the foot runs
over like an old boot and the colt acquires
the habit of walking partially on the side
of his foot, which is very difficult to rem.
edy. Sometimes both sides break off,
leaving tho toe unnsturally long, thus
throwing more weight on the heels, causing
them to wear away faster than they should.
This produces fiat feet, The uneven
breaking eff of the toofs before the animal
natures causes most of the imperfections
in the feet of the horse, with resultant
ring-bones. spavins, curbs and other all.
ments. When horse with bad foot
comes to be shod, if it runs over to the
side it should be leveled up gradually at
several succeeding shoeings and by max
ing the shoe little thicker On one side
and pairing down the hoof little on the
opposite side.
If the feet arc fiat the heels should be
let alone and the toes cut down as far as
will answer at every ahoeing. The shoe

but on tho wall alone. If the sole is low
down and presents q convex surface, as is
often the case, the shoes will either be
made concave to match or very narrow to
fit only on the horny shell. If the animal
has contracted feet the heels should be cut
away as much as it will do, as we'll as the
horn On the bottom of the foot, and tie
shoes should be leveled out from the quar-
ters back, that the feet may have ten
dencg to spread. If the animal has ring
bone or other stiffness in the joints, the
tees should be cut back. This rule applies
also to SPAWN, thoroughpin, curbs, etc
Bad feet in horses are generally tracesble
TO inaitention of man. The feet of colts
should be attended to once in three months
from the time they are first stabbed until
they reach maturity, and then permanent
good feet will be assured. II agricultural
societies would employ skillfal man to
shoe horses at their fairs and give illuatra-
tive lectures, they would accomplish more
good than they do now by some CT theil
transactions.

FOR OYER FIFTY YEARS.

1t has been said that ski.ful advertising
will accomplish wonders, and this is partly
true, for it is 70 uncommon thing to see
various uostrums achieve brief notorlety
in this way. But they do not outlast the
notices that herald them. Thus it is that
the mercurial and potash remedies are con-
startly appearing before the rublic in new
disguises. Advertising, however, will not
account for the popularity that 5. 5. 5. has
enjoyed for fifty years, nor for the fact that
it has become household remedy; nor
will advertising account for the thousands
of testimonials that the people have given
in its behalf. Only the most substantial
merit can account for the estimation in
which this wonderful medicine is held.

Bright is the day, the hawthorn odor
Softly floats across the summer morn :;
The wheat has rlpened for the husbandman.
The wind sighs softly through the corn
Bright is the day-sweet is the hour.
July doth kiss the opening flower.
All is con ontentment-peace reigns over all;
There is a radiant beauty everywhere;
In flowers and streams, in woods and glens,
And in the incense-Iaden air
Red-leaved clover with the meadow lilies grow
Where the partridge whistles soft and low.
There is sweet perfume in the elrth and air,
The roses bend to kiss the daisies low
And wax-flowers in the glory of the sun.
Gieam out like flakes OF snow
Yet Rll thy glory soon must fade and die,
Short is thy reign, bright month, July.

July: The Years Sweetheart

All things beautiful love her:
The butterflies light and fleet,
The branches that bend above her.
The MOSES that kiss her feet;
The rlpening grain in the meadow.
The birds, singing sweet and near,
The opened flowers in the shadow,
The brook, with its ripple clear;
The bee in his clover sleeping,
The locusts, that drone and whir,
The rain from the hills, down sweeping,
And the clouds-are IN love with her!
For she, oh, the shy newcomer.
So dear to the world, SO dear!
Is heart of the heart of summer,
And sweetheart of all the year.

Origi in and Notes of the Fire.

The most destructive fire that has oc-
Cured in this vicinity in years broke out at
II 80 o'clock Tuesday morning in the upper
story of the five story brick building be-
tween Mill street and the Winooski river in
which was carried on the picking, carding
and spinning departments of the Bur
lington cotton mills. The fire start
ed in the upper floor of the old part of
the building and was no sooner discovered
than the entire floor mass of flames
and the employees were obliged to run for
their lives, not having even time to seize
their outside wraps. The smoke was
suffocating. Robert Taylor, foreman of the
mule spinning room, was badly burned
about the head and hands. j. H.
Gates, the manager of the company,
was in the office at the time
and says that although the sprinklers in the
building were at once turned on, flames
were pouring out of the windows by
tho time he reached the mill yard. 1t be
ing at once apparent that the mill could not
be saved, attention was turned to the store
houses, which were vel filed with cotton
and the boarding houses which were near
the mill A strong south wind was blow
ing, carrying the sparks away from the
warehouses which were kept wet down and

made the smoke of the blacklist kind. The
falling walls made noise that could be
heard for a long distance. The tower
is left standing, but the supports of the bell
were burncd allowing the bell to fall to the
ground.
The Burlington mill will be able to run
for few days, as there is a small supply
of yarn ahead.
Had it not been for the prompt action of
the hremen, the houses on the north side of
Allen street would have burned, as the wind
blew almost a gale, and the heat was in
tense. 1t seemed almost incredible that
Guillette's blacksmith shop on Barlow
street should have been saved but it was un-
injured.
The tenement house nearest the mill was
occupied by four families. who got their
furniture out. The building did not burn,
although the roof caught fire several times.
The windows were all broken out and some
damage was done by water
Edward Hatin, carpenter at the mill,
worked hard to save the storehouscs and
other property and on returning to Wi
nooski found his house in ashes.
Residences which caught fire, but were
saved, were those OF Mrs. DR.. Champion,
f.. r. Crandell Ormand Cole, on Allen
street; A. b, Edwards, on East Spring
street.; II. l.. Johonuott on Maple street
and others
The smoke was at times SO dense on East
Allen street, that it was impossible for
pedestrians to pass. On Barlow street,
and other points where the firemen were
fighting the flames, the heat was SO intense
that doors had to be used for protection.
Robert Taylor, who was badly burned
about the head and arms, is reported slight
ly better. His attending physician, DR..
Peck, says there is no danger of blindness.
Overseer George Miles narrowly escaped
being killed while attempting to save the
time books, etc, i'll his office. While nearly
to them a massive beam came crashing
down between him and the office and
through the floor at his feet. He beat q
hasty retreat and came out unin jured.
The loss on the household goods which
were taken from many of the houses near
the scene of the fire will reach a consider
able figure. j. d. Tanner Ormond Cole
and DR.. Patenaude lost hundreds of dollars
in this way.
E. r. Crandalls house was soaked from
top to bottom and Mrs Champions dwell
was considerably damaged from water.
The damage to the roof of the Episcopal
church allowed leakage from the rain yes
terddy and some damage was done.
From the inside of the house of Robert
Pollinger, which is situated across the road
from the Episcopal church, an opening was
made into the roof. 1t was then aire anu
lively worl; alone saved the house.
A. b, Edwards house caught fire four
times.

Then it was sold at auction and was bought
by j. II. Gates ~ Co., who converted their
furniture factory on Pine street into a
weaving room and trebled the size OF the
old mill on Mill street. Since that time oil
the picking, cardng and spinning have
been done in the mill which was burned
to-day. Two years ago stock eoippany
was formed under the name, "B.irlington
Cotton Mills" About 10 hands were en-
ployed there, the number il many
cases including whole families, so Mat much
suffering must result from the fire. The
weaving mill on Pine street being dependent
on the burned mill for its supply of yarn
that must necessarily stop and $50 more
hands will be thrown out of employment
Losses and Insurance.
The loss on the cotton mill and contents
is estimated at about $50, 000 with an in
surauce of 1925, 600
Edwards & Stevens place their loss on
the lumber shed at about $4,000 no insur-
ance; Devino & Sons paint shop
with stock, seven buggies, one new
wagon, total loss about $500, with
$500 insurance; lumber shed, loss about
$500, no insurance; wheelright and
blacksmith shop, loss about $1,000, no in
surance, and small dwellings, connected
with the shop, loss about 800, no insur-
ance; the dwelling on East Allen street
was total loss of about $l100, amount of
insurance $500. The dwelling on Main
street n total loss at about $500,
insurance $500. The damage on tho Epis-
copal church will not exceed 800. The loss
on the four dwellings on Centre street was
as follows: One owned by f. Hatn, loss
$500, insurance 500 and 5000 on furniture;
one owned by Helen Patnaude, loss 5000, in
surance 500; one owned by Julius Lord,
loss 500, insurance S4OO; one owned by
l.. B. Platt and Clara A. Platt, loss $500;
insurance 5000. One other small dwellings
on the west side of Barlow street, owned
by NJ. j. Gullette was burned. The loss is
about 500; insurance $500.
