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

Have you good rasp for the feIt 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 leve:.
Do not use knife if it can be helped,
as the first blacksmith that shoes the
colt will cut away enough to last a
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 10 circum-
stances put the rasp on the outside of
the foot. The entire hOof, from the

fine coating of natural varnIsh be

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 iii good shape from the

HOW TO pREsS FOWLS.
Considerable Loss to Growers
and Shippers.

A well-dressed fowl will of course
command a higher price than poor
addressed one, and it is evident there
must be quite a loss to the growers and
shippers of poultry on this account;
and it might not come amiss to give
few hints on dressing fowls properly,
as there does not seem to be any need
of dressing them poorly. First of all,
crops of all fowls to be killed for mar
ket should be entirely empty. A mis-
take is generally made by not hang
ing the fowl up while stripping off
the feathers, but holding it with one
hand and picking it with the other.
One can work rapidly when the bird
is hanging, as both hands are then at
liberty; the cuticle, transparent out
side covering of the fowl, is very easily
injured, particularly of scalded bird,
and when the bird is held while pick
ing it this membrane is often rubbed
off in spots; and although this injury
does not seem to show much at first
afterwards these spots turn dark, Civ
ing the bird an unsightly appearance.
Overscalding also loOsens the cuticle;
therefore we should exercise great
care not to keep the birds in hot water
for too long time when scalding
them. Have the water at the boiling
point, yet not actually boiling. Take
the bird by the head and feet and i'm
merse it, lifting up and down in the
water three or four times, then hang
up by the feet. The head should never
be immersed, as it turns the comb pale
and gives the eyes a shrunken appear
ance. Now remove all the feathers,
letting the small ones drop into the
barrel beneath and keeping wing and
tail feathers by themselves. The small
feathers may afterward be spread out
| and dried if deemed of value. The feet
of all fowls should be scrupuloUsly
| clean; wash, or, still better, brush
them.-Western Plowman.

WE GET A TERRIBLE ROAST.
The Paris SOliel Severely Comments Upon

PARIS, Nov. 3.-The SOliel Wednes-

position assumed by the American
peace commissioners. says:
NO mOnarchial government would
have dared to conduct itself after the
fashion of the Americans, who are for
ever talking so much of right and lib
erty. The plan of the Americans Is
now evident. 1t is to take all of
Spain's colonies and lc&ve Spain the
debts of all those colonies. This is the
result of the holy war undertaken to
insure the independence of the Cubans.

TRANSPORT PANAMA SINKS.
On the WAY to New York With Soldiers
Congressman Dalzell and Hun Among
the Passengers

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Advices from
Santiago say rumOr is current there
that the United States transport Pan
anna. which left Santiago for New
York last Tuesday with 800 passengers,
has been lost off Cape Maysi, Cuba
The news is said to have been brought
to Santiago by a fishing schoon-
er, which, cruising along the
coast, sighted the wreckage,
among which was life preserver
marked Panama" Most of the Pana-
mas passengers were soldiers. Among
the civilians were Congressman John
DalzelI, of Pennsylvania, and Exon
gresham George H. Huff. of Green's
burg, Pa.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Cable advices
received Wednesday night from rep
resentative of Gen. Wood at Santiago
announce the probable loss of the Pan
anna. once United States transport,
off Cape Maysi.
The information which he brought
caused a great deal of sorrow in the
American camp Wednesday night. One
of the passengers on the Panama was
Congressman Dalzell, of Pennsylvania.
lie went to Cuba in the inter
est of the Pennsylvania Railway
Co. and had completed his labOrs
and was returning, in company with
Geo. NJ. Huff, former congressman-at-
large from Pennsylvania.
Little surprise was expressed here
Wednesday night when the news
spread that the vessel had probably
gone to the bottom.
The boat was in a bad condition, and
it was expected two months ago it
would be taken out of the service tenn
porarily and repaired. 1t was the in
tentiOn of Mai. Kemble, of the depot
quartermasters department in New
York city. to take the vessel out of
service.
This would have been done. but at
the last moment it became necessary
to transfer the Berlin from its regular
service and the Panama substituted.
Postmaster Hydeman, at Santiago,
paid visit to the Panama before it
started north He found that the YES
sci was in such bad condition that he
refused to allow the United States
mails to be forwarded on it.

this structure the straw stack is built,
and when finished has the appearance
as shown in Figure =. 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

POULTRY DISEASES.
They Are More Easily ENterminated
Than the Diseases Affecting
Other Kinds of Stock

1t is probably easier to exterminate
poultry diseases than the diseases that
affect any other kind of stock. This
is because poultry can be kept go-
lated. Horses are constantly meeting
and coming into the vicinity Of other
horses. Cattle run in adjoining pas
lures. Hogs are transported from
place to place and are great roamers
in their pastures. But fowls may be
kept practically isolated. It is even
not common for hens on ore farm to
mingle with those of the next
We believe that with proper man
agement the poultry diseases may be
practically eNterminated. Have the
feed right and then keep all things
scrupulously clean. Let in the sua
and keep the dust box full of good
dust. Give fresh water every day.
These will mean that the hens will be
free from disease. We're these things
observed universally there Is no doubt
that some, if not all, of our contagious
diseases among poultry must soon die
out. Where a flock has a certain dis
ease the fowls could be allowed to die
OF be killed and the place where they
had been kept used for keeping fowls
no more for at least year. 1t is our
observa ton that there are many focks
where disease is practically unknown.
A good many poultrymen know moth
ing of the cholera except what they
read in the papers. Clean up and ex-
terminate the diseases.-Farmers'R Re-

CHEAP STOCK SHELTER.
Archway Under or Through a Straw
Stack Is an Inexpensive Device
for Protection.

To keep stock warm and dry in cold
weather is no less a matter of economy
than to keep them we'll 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
snug sheds for their sheep. Sheds of
poles with roofs of straw are exclu-
sively used, and with profit. An arch
way shelter under or through 4 straw
stack is an Inexpensive and valuable de-
vice for protection. The skeleton
frame of such a one is given in Figure

wasted Corn in aarvestinr.

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, a 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 will
show the reverse of these conditions.
1t is, therefore, really skilled labor
that the expert in 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.
