THE HORSES HOOPS.
II You Want Healthy Animals Keep
Their Feet Rasped OF and
Level as Possible.

Have you a good rasp for the feet Of
the colts? The old saying mo foot,
no horse" is not only a true one, but
should teach the farmer to take the
best of care of the feet of all colts,
says a writer in Australasian. The
toe often gets too long, unbalances
the foot, and then come splints, spav-
ms and every other disease to which
the feet and legs are heir. See that
the foot is kept rasped off and level.
Do not use a knife if it can be helped,
as the first blacksmith that shoes the
colt will cut away enough to last
lifetime. In no part of the horses
anatomy has he suffered SO many
wrongs or endured SO much unneces-
sary suffering as in his feet. If there
is the least excuse every blacksmith
will use knife. Try to let the colts
grow up with such good strong feet
that there will be no excuse for cut
ting them. Use the rasp on the under
side of the toe, and under no circum-
stances put the rasp on the outside Of
the foot. The entire hoof, from the
coronet to the sole, is covered by a
fine coating of natural varnlsh be-
ginning at the upper margin or coro-
net and gradually becoming thinner
as it descends. Under cover of this
varnish the new horn is secreted and
protected until it attains its maturity
The moisture necessary by the animal
economy to the perfection of the horn
is retained within it, and the infu-
ences of wet and dry are set at def
ance. 1t is easy to see that this most
important covering should not be in
terfered with, and the foot should be
kept level and in good shape from the
underside.

DAINTY UNDERSKIRT.
II Can BE Easily Made Out of Almost
Any Pretty and Suitable
Material.

Here is the way perfect-fitting I'M
derskirt should look before it is sewed
together. If you have patience, from
this very little model, you can cut
newspaper patterns, making each one
size larger than the other until you
will have one that will fit yourself. A
wellmade underskirt is as essential
as perfect hanging dress skirt, for
often a defect in the latter is caused
by some flaw in the former.
To make a skirt like this you will
need six yards of moreen. This goods
is not very expensive and wears for
years without losing its color. Dark
red is very favorable hue and one
that can be combined with almost
anything. Commence to sew the
seams from the top, so that the un-
evenness will come out at the bottom
After the seams have been run to.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-11-10

gether for about eight inches it is
very nice to insert panel of fancy
silk or other figured material, to give
additional width and beauty to the
skirt. The yoke should be put on as
soon as the seams are sewed, SO that
the band will not stretch in handling
the skirt, while the finishing touches
are being put on.
For those who do not care to make
skirt, an easy plan is to purchase a
cheap one, rip open the seams and
then put in the fancy panel This
could be done at little expense, and
your skirt would have all the beauty
of SIS or $50 silk garment.

CLEANING FUR GOODS.
Professionals Use Sawdust and Corn
meal and Then Beat the Furs
with a switch.

"Furs become very much soiled and
need renovation as much as any other
part of woman's wardrobe" says
Emma NJ. Hooper in the Ladies Home
Journal, "but among the many direc-
tons given for cleansing and renovat-
ing one seldom finds anything regard
ing furs. Furriers keep all such trade
secrets strictly, but occasionally there
is a leakage, and l am able to give the
result of one. Dark furs, as seal, mink
and black marten, are cleaned with fine
cedar or mahogany sawdust, which is
kept in stock by furriers. The gar
ment is ripped free from the lining
and the fur is laid on table with the
hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed
in the hair and neither strength nor
sawdust spared during the process.
When finished shake the fur lightly
over the table and save the sawdust
that drops out. Then put upon the
table one or two feather pillows N
their usual muslin slips, and upo- these
lay the furs. hair down this time, and
beat thoroughly with switch until the
sawdust is out and the fur as clean
as pin; keep moving the pillows, as
the fur must have soft support while
beaten. White furs are cleaned with
white cornmeal applied as the sawdust
is on the darker varieties. If white
furs are only slightly soiled they may
be cleaned with magncsia in small
cubes that is we'll rubbed in and then
thoroughly busted out"

steyyed Fruit Is Healthy.

There is no doubt that stewed fruit
is a most wholesome addition to or
binary diet. There are, however, many
persons who cannot eat it, either on
account of the acidity of the fruit or
Of the large quantity of sugar re-
quired to make it palatable. 1t should
be remembered that sugar does not
counterfeit the acidity of the fruit, it
simply DISCUSSES it, and if much of it
is used it is apt to interfere with the
digestive organs. Before cooking the
fruit, sprinkle over it small pinch
of carbonate of soda; this renders the
dish more wholesome, and certainly
more tasty.

the structure nail some 1x3 strips or
any old boards that are handy. Over
this structure the straw stack is built,
and when finished has the appearance
as shown in Figure 2. In this way a
snug shelter of considerable size can
be made beneath the stack, under
which cattle, sheep or hogs can take
refuge in stormy weather. The poles
can remain, if necessary, from year to
year. If taken down, it can be rear
ranged in a short time, just before
thrashing is done. Such an archway
shelter will not be out of place in many

PLYING THE POOR.
a Tramp Who Would Not Take the
Crust from "a Needy Won
ans Mouth.

Sometimes the tramp gets the better of the
thrifty housewife. The mistress of pretty
little cottage at Sausalito-she only inherited
about $4,000, and SO is obliged to be frugal
is the object of a little criticism from her
friends because of her reputed parsimony.
Last Saturday, as she was sitting on her pi-
ezza, overlooking the water, and waiting for
Ted to come home, a passing knight of the
road humbly solicited a bite. The young
woman could not withstand the petition, so
she went herself to the bread box, which was
hiied with freshly-baked loaves, and brought
out to the waiting vagrant two slices of
boardlike consistency which had been baked
many days earlier. AS she presented her
bounty she felt just trife ashamed of it.
We are very poor ourselves" she said, in
muttered apology.
The outcast received the crust with a
courteous Thank you" and turned away.
A moment later he returned and handed
the young heiress the crusts and also a
nickel.
II am very sorry for you," he said, in gen.
tie tones of genuine sympathy-San Fran

Fruit Diet Ia Benefi ciaI.

There is not a single article of diet
of such great value in the treatment
of intestinal inactivity or constipa
ton as fruits. For this purpose fruits
must be eaten freely, being taken, as
rule, in cases of this sort, at the be-
ginning of the meal or a little while
before it. Fruit is most effective when
taken by itself in this manner. Raw
apples, steamed figs, peaches, apricots
when not too ripe, prunes, oranges and
tamarinds are of the greatest value for
this purpose, tamarinds or pomegran-
ates furnish an acid from which a very
pleasant beverage may be prepared.
Tamarinds used in this way sometimes
serve useful purpose in cases of con-
tipation.-Good Health.

CHEAP STOCK SHELTER.
Archwny Under or Through a Straw
stack Is an Inexpensive Device
for Protection.

To keep stock warm and dry in cold,
weather is no less matter of economy,
than to keep them well fed. When,
properly sheltered they require less
food. Shelter is less expensive than
food. All farmers and stock raisers do
not have stables for their cattle or
mug sheds for their sheep. Sheds of
poles with roofs of straw are exclu-
Eively used, and with profit. An arch
way shelter under or through a straw
stack is an inexpensive and valuable de-
vice for protection. The skeleton
frame of such one is given in Figure

Wasted Corn in Harvestinu

1t may seem one of the simplest OF
all farm operations to cut and put
standing corn in stock. Yet in every
field where five or six men are work
ing together in cutting, close observ-
er will note that some rows of stocks
show the corn cut low down. with very
little breaking off of ears, and even
the suckers well cleaned up around the
hills, while other rows of stocks viii!
show the reverse of these conditions
1t is, therefore, really skilled labor
that the expert i'll corn cutting shows.
and we believe that the expert in this
case, as in every other, is entitled to
larger compensation for the skill with
which the work has been done.

FACTS ABOUT Wells.
Some of the Mistakes Made by Buyers
Who Are Very Careful in
other Things.

Let a word be said here with regard
to veilings, comments the Philadelphia
Inquirer. The counters offer many
temptations to woman to buy at
haste and repent at leisure over the
ring-streaked and striped tissues that
hutter before their eyes. There is a
really pretty within in the way of shot
yelling that goes right to the femi-
nine heart, also white tissue, show
ing dots in groups, and smart Irvine
brown gauze, that has white waving
cord run through it's width from sell
wage to selvage. All these, however,
should be admired from a respectful
distance. Only the very young girls
with strong eyes can wear them with
impunity.
After her twenty-ffth birthday a
woman should buy her wells thought
fully, and matrons can scarcely be
too painstaking in this respect. Moth
ing so contributes to the weaving of
little wrinkles about the eyes as a veil
with many and small spots. A constant
though unconscious effort is being
made by the human lenses to get a
proper focus through such speckled
mist, and by reason of steady concen-
tration of muscles provoked about the
lids the cobwebby tracings are pen
ciled in.
Put pair of the most lustrous eyes
constantly behind a veil of chiffon
thickness and the result will be a slow
but none the less sure extinction OF
that liquid bright quality healthy
pair of orbs should possess even to
old age. A woman who persists in
wearing a dotted net veil under one Of
chiffon, as so many do, is simply ruin
ing the quality of her eyes for the
sake of her complexion, and she who
continues long in this pernicious habit
may ward off few freckles while she
is simply counting pink rims on he1
lids and dull glaze on both pupil ant
iris.

Improper food, hurried eating, mental
worry, exhaustion; any of these produce

The blood is the vital element in our lives

the blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia
