the tariff planks of former democratic
national conventions, the word "only."

viz, that wet, soft ground, and even
manure yards, are the best places to
keep young horscs-and some would
even have the frogs and soles
pared thin to allow the mois-
ture to penetrate o easily. No
greater mistake is made than that for
the preservation of the hoof depends
TO a great extent upon the soil the
animal was reared on. The best foot
ed horses are bred on dry soils, and
that is undoubtedly the kind of ground
best adapted to the healthy growth of
horn. Young horses require plenty OF
exercise, and unless they are allowed
it, the growth Of the horn, etc, is sure
to be defective, Then the question
rises: when ought Il horse to be first
shod?" The answer is, when the work
required of the animal wears the horn
away faster than it is formed or grown,
or, in other words. SO long MS the horn
Of the foot can stand the wear re.
quires, it will not need protecting
(shoeing). Moreover, if the young
horses are not shod so early, they will
not be worked SO hard, and fewer would
be ruined in their youth, as is too otter
the case at the present time.
