Light Shoes for Young Horses.

Light Shoes for Young Horses.
The most careful horse breeders arc
agreed that the lighter the shoe and the
less it is worn the better. In !; recent
address before al English agricultural
society, Prof. Axe discussed. the Sub
jcct, deprecating the laundering man
agemcnt of the feet of horses. Often
fine animals are ruined by being caused
to- wear their shoes too early and too
long. Standing iii the stable a long
time is liable to cause lamencss, and
could he avoided by. taking off the
shoes and substituting soft leather.
Red-hOt shoes should not be applied to
The foot of the horse at any time.
In blowing, cultivating and many
other farm occupations horse will
walk ten to twenty miles q day and
advances about four feet at a step.
At each step the horse lifts half a
pound cntra on it's two feet, SGT pounds
in every mile. In lays work Of hf-
! teen miles, the horse would lift $500
pounds extra Or nearly i've tons. If
| the force required to lift this five tons
| Of iron could be expended in the work
| the horse is doing, much more could

facts is it any wonder that when young
horses begin to wear shoes they sool

shortened and acquire Il slow walking

The first chapter in the history of
miniature vehicles must be devoted to
study Of the little mechanical hobby

as the dada. At, first sight it seems
strange that the. modern velocipede
should be in any way related to this

The connection, however, between the
two machines is declared by the New

other proof that the history of the vel

the history of velocimania. OF this
there are abundant traces in the NIL

The shirred null hats now so popular are not
at ali difficult to mako The frames Of wire
covered with white or black are made in many
shapes. One that has generous brim narrow
ing in the back, so that it can be turned up
prettily, is the most graceful and becoming.
One way to make the hat is to take piece of
silk null once and half or twice as long as
the brim measures around. Fold this down
the center aud put a shirring in it about half
an inch from the folded edge. Draw this up to
the size of the brim. This makes the tiny frill
round the face. Separate the null. putting one
side over the wires and the other under them.
Tack the frill lightly to the outer wire. Shir
the upper piece at the second wire, stroking

Where Grant and Lee Sat,

The sofa that Grant and Lee sat upon at
Appomattox when they arranged the surrender
stands in the West Virginia building at the
Worlds Fair. 1t belonged to Alexander Nc
Lain, at whose house the Generals met. 1t
comes from Harry E. Stilman, who married
Miss McLain. So there is no doubt about its
genuineness. A secretary accompanies the old
high back mahogany sofa. The tradition is
that the papers were drawn up on this sec
retary. Yet another tradition has it that

The Price of Grain.

The prospects for big prices for wheat next
Fall do not seem extremely fattering, but for
all that the prospects for the most successful
year for farmers seem to us better than in sew
eral years. The conditions are such that for
everything else the farmer has to sell-oats
barley, potatoes, pork. beef, and poultry and
such things-the prices will be better than
ever; more than enough to make up for low
price in wheat, and it is by no means impossible
for that cereal to go to a good profitable price
it certainly cannot go much lower, and hence
q change must be for the better.

1t is good plan to think well over trip to

impossible to see all there is, but by studying
guide-books and maps, and making out lists Of
things that seem most desirable, much moro
will be accomplished than by desultory ram

There are many school teachers who, having
learned to make the most of their time, money
and strength, have for several months been
making thorough study of the Fair as set
forth in gnide-books and descriptions, and have
made out regular schedules as to what they
will see on certain days, and how much time
will be given to different things. All this
sounds rather stiff, but these teachers will get
more out of the Fair than any other class of
people, and probably the jolly ones will have
