CARE OF HORSES FEET.

One of the mistakes often made by
farmers is that of keeping their horses
shod that do work in the field during
a portion of the year Mt least. OF
course this sometimes becomes neces-
sary, but in the great majority of
cases it is not only uncalled for but it
is actually hindrance to the best
service the horse is capable of giving.
Everybody knows that when n horse
is once shod the necessity of keeping
shoes upon his feet grows upon him.
1t is also recognized that horse can
do all sorts of farm work just as well
without shoes on as with them, and q
critical observer of horses soon dis
covers that farm horses are kept wear
ing shoes merely from n fancied and
mistaken kindness toward them rather
than from any sound and logical rea-
son. If people were in the habit of
giving little personal attention to
their horses feet upon frequent occa-
sions, instead of leaving it all to the
blacksmith it would be all the better
for the horses. Nebraska Farmer.

Philadelphia Cooking School, is the
inventor of new and tempting way
of serving in little meat pies left

meat as for hash, and to every half

juice, tablespoonful of butter, half
teaspoonful of salt and dash of red
pepper, four teaspoonfuls of milk and
two beaten eggs. Heat this mixture
over the fire, but do not cook il, and
have ready about pint of boiled rice
lone cupful before cooking). Butter

them with the rice, fill in with the
meat mixture and cover the top with
rice. Stand in a pan of boiling water
and bake quarter of IN hour Serve
in the molds, placed on plates with Il
sprig OF parsley OH each, or turn on
plates and serve with brown sauce.
The pies make nice dinner or

A Frog rs Big as a Brick.

As G. G. Bettes, the druggist, was
walking home Monday night he saw
something on the sidewalk which he
took for brick. Mr.. Bettes Is a
cyclist, and he was thoughtful enough
to endeavor to remove the obstruc-
tion, which might cause some wheel
man to come to grief, so he stopped
and attempted to shove the brick off
the walk with his foot.
The "brick" moved. In fact, it
moved about twenty feet straight to-
ward the middle of the street. Mr..
Bettes was utterly dumfounded He
could not remember taking more than
n half dozen cococoas, and that
beverage had never before caused him
TO see bricks leap off the sidewalk.
He started after that brick, but just
as he was almost over it and stopped
down to examine it closely, away it
went again, landing on the opposite
sidewalk. He then saw what it was.
A tremendous bullfrog, that could
outiump the Nassau Railroad ring at
the county convention when the ring
sters saw the regular Democrats were
going to sit down on them.
Bettes was not going to let that
frog get the best of him, and, after
chasing several blocks, finally got it
cornered, and now has it on exhibition
in the show window of the Carleton
pharmacy. Jacksonville Ella. Times

GERMAN PEACH AND APPLE CAKE.

The "apple" and the ''peach cake
of our German bakeshops is made with
a thin layer of raised biscuit dough,
rolled out till it is not over half an
inch thick. The cake is rubbed with
butter, and sometimes, by the Ger
mans, with lard to prevent a hard
crust forming on top. 1t is put in a
baking pan, and even slices of apples
or peaches are laid on it in symmetri-
cal rows, covering the entire top of
the cake, and then the whole is dredged
with sugar. The pan is covered with
tin or iron slide, and the cake is
baked for from twenty-five to thirty
minutes. BY this means the apples
are cooked through delicately without
losing their form and without drying
up, as they would if they were not
covered up, and the raised biscuit
dough underneath is throughly cooked
through.

while at the mouth of the river, in the

weight of e fifty pounds. The big

the region dry at all times. A news
