HoRsEsHoERs' CoMMoNsENsE.

The abuse of horses and horses feet by blacksmiths is daily error which in- telligence and humanity must eradicate. A horse is scolded and whipped often times to get him into farrier's shop, in stead of being coaxed and his fears all layed, when he would go in confidently. Being excited by the abuse, he is mettle- some and uneasy about shoeing, when more loud words and perhaps blows follow. I have seen gentle beast struck repeatedly by the hammer or a heavy foot. No such treatment nor harsh tones should be allowed by horse owners. A frequent cause of ssshoers' anger" is the inclination of the horse to bear heavily upon him when he is hand ling foot. Said an aged but still active and able horseshoer, recently: eNo horse can bear on the shoer if he will keep from under him. Where a horse has formed the habit his shoer may be blamed. But it is easily broken up. have had horses lie down in the shop when I kept from under them. They never lie down so more than twice. The lesson is sufficient for them, and they bear their own weight thereafter T From the same old philosopher I have learned many things. He is a country smith, but man of close observation.

A Local Clothing House Shows a Most Thought ful and Liberal Spirit.

Meigs !S Co.,, clothiers of this city, who have for years enjoyed liberal patronage from wage earners all over Southern Connecticut. and never lost their confidence, are now go ing to turn around and show the wage earners that they fully appreciate past tavors
 This firm will close their store all day to morrow, Thursday, tor a general reduction ot prices all over the stOre Every article of merchandise in the store will be reduced in price except E.. X W collars and cuffs and their Columbia white laundered shirts). The sale is to be called a Concession Sale, which means that the firm is going to divide profits. and they emphatically state that the wage earners shall have the biggest halt-
 Almost all working people are now work ing on halt time or reduced pay, and at usual prices could not afford to buy their regular supply ot Winter Clothing, but now that the opportunity is offered them to buy wearing apparel at reduced prices, and just at the opening of the winter, they will be only too glad to take apvantage ot this firms liberal policy.
 The sale will open Friday morning and the firm will offer sl00o to the person who can find one article (eXcept E. X W. collars and cuffs and their Columbia white shirts) that has not been reduced in price. This is a broad statement, but Meigs < Co. never do anything by halves, and they will back up their statement with the cash This firm Is famous tor its truthful and reliable advcrtis- ing.

Live Farm Topics,
SHALL I BUY MORE LAND?


r. r. Turner owns a farm of 3G acres which is all tilIable. He has chance to buy as much more, that joins his farm at $33 an acre. It is poor, run down and un- derbrush, with good timber all cut out Would 1 advise him to buy this, running in debt for it? People around him say he hasn't land enough to do anything, and he can pay for this and never feel it, etc. He says for one thing: "I put out only 10 acres of corn this year. Owing to the very wet spring and great drOughth of the summer, it has not had much of a chance, but still from not having too much to do, have been able to give the crop extra care, and to tend it as well as could. and 1 am surprised and delighted to find have a good crop of corn" That is enough. You are on the right track. Don't buy any more lands, or spread out. only as fast as you feel certain you can do if, and as seasons run, continue just this careful, thorough work, either alone, or with such help as you can keep profit ably employed. That land next to yours, will cost a good deal to clear up, and bring up. It will be far more profitable for you in the long run to clean, pulver- ize and enrich your present acres, thus in- creasing their productive capacity. You will be richer in products the same as if you bought more land, while the cost of raising and harvesting them will not be so great on limited area and you may just ly indulge some pride in the appearance of your fields and crops which you would not have on a large, poor acreage. ''Don't spread out This is an old mot to and good one. It is just as good to- day asin the time of Cincnnatus. Time spent making tight stable floors and in- creasing the manure pile will be used far more usefully and pleasantly than that spent worrying over indebtedness incur redby adding more land.-[ Max Moore

Hs never tries to make | Heat (?) job by pairing the frog and rasping the outside of the hoof. Such barbarities only ren- der the foot less able to bear concussion and weakens the wall of the hoof.
 He set shoes for me yesterday below which the frog actually protruded half an inch and the bars were untouched. When questioned he said: ''The shoe is a wrong thing on horses foot except for protection. It is forced artificiality. Because work and hard roads make such an evil necessary don't let us go further and without excuse remove natures pro- tection from the foot. Her protecticns, unlike those provided by man, are elastic and durable-immeasurably better than iron." l am convinced that the old far rier's humane practices are correct. No shoe is ever applied hot to the foot longer than to mark the irregularities of the wall so it may be leveled carefully. The shoe is fitted to the foot, not the foot to the shoe as in most cases. After the shoe is ready rarely more than six nails are used to hold it in place if the hoof be sound and good. Too many nails split the external wall of the hoof, and in frequent instances cause lameness Side and toe clips are used to hold the shoe from lateral motion on the foot and estimated as useful as so many nails while they do not pierce the wall. The clip is of small size and must not bt hammered or set tightly into the hoof Rasping the wall for any purpose vii weaken it so it it will scarcely hold :; shoe after time.
 l Heavy shoes, except ill special cases are altogether needless and cruel Horses regularly shod can be fitted witt shoe much lighter than those in com mon use and still be we'll protected For summer wear thin plates of stee with no calks, are best. These let tn hoof rest on the earth and the frog

AS TO FRUIT TREES.

Fruit trees may be set in the fall as well as in the spring." says an exchange. Very true, but this is not saying they are as sure to live. They have heavy odds to contend against. If you have set trees this fall be sure you stake them against che wind before the ground freezes so you cannot. Don't drive the stakes close to the trees. Set 3 to each tree and support the trunk by tying it to them by soft cords or strips of leather or cloth.

It is the season for dressing and curing the home meat. The old-fashioned plan of smoking beef, bacon, tongues, hams, shoulders, etc., seems to have been inn proved upon but little. No better tenn porary smoke house can be made than a pit for fire, connected by short, under ground trench with cask where the meat is hung. This cools the smoke before it reaches the hams and there is no danger of loss.-EA A. c. E., Litchfield Co.,, Conn.
