used in this country is to char the

THE sHoE1NG OF HORSES.
Habits to Fit Its Feet
Correctly.

Among the visitors to the recent
horse show who were attracted to it
by their interest in the horse and
things pertaining to the animal there
were many who paid attention to the
subject of shooting. Owners of horses
compared notes as to new methods,
and hints and theories in that direc-
ton received close attention, says the
New York Tribune. E.
In the course of a conversation on
the subject, the paper read by Rob-
ert Bonner on "Horse Shooting" be-
fore the New York Farriers' associa-
ton, held at the Metropolitan club in
1895, was referred to. In this paper
Mr.. Bonner quoted the old farrier,
Jeremiah Bridges, who said: ''No
foot, no horse" and it was agreed
that what was true in 1852 was equal
~ true now.
r. F. Carman said: II have my
own blacksmith shop at Carmandale,
and supervise the shooting of all my
horses. The shoe must be put on so
that the foot comes level on the
ground, and the weight must be in
keeping with the horses gait and bal
ance. If the horse is inclined to dwell
the shoe must be made rounding at
the toe, SO that it picks up quickly.
When the horse points, or throws his
feet out too far, the heel of the shoe
should be weighted and the toe made
light. When horses wing or paddle
that is, throw their feet far out, the
weight on the toe is placed on the in
side from toe to quarter, and some
times as far back as the heel. This
applies, Of course, to the fore feet.
These points must be known before,
one can shoe horse properly, and for
that reason a man must be more than
blacksmith-musth have knowledge
of horses and their gaits-to do good
work"
But every man cannot keep his own
farrier, and all horse owners are not
competent to give instructions as to
how their animals should be shod.
For that reason the horse sheer who
has city shop is person of no little

little value, who cannot be classed
among the first grade of workmen.
the majority are superior class of
mechanics. fully competent to do
good work.
1T takes just as much skill to shoe
dray horse as fine carriage ami
NAL" said blacksmith, land the
man who owns the dray horse is Just
as particular and knows as much
as the owner Of the fancy stock.
The drayman comes with his horse
and stands by while the job is being
done, and he's much more exacting
in many instances than the coachman
who does not know fault when he
sees it,"
The price for set of shoes ranges
from $3.50 to IS, and blacksmiths
charge no more for shoeing "fancy"
horses than they do for the ordinary
animals. Where pads are used the
price is higher, and some blacksmiths
make contracts with owners of teams
to keep their horses well shod at a
certain sum month. One of the pop
ular shops in the upper part of the
city charges its customers $35 q
month.

DANGEROUS wAsH0UTs.
In Nine Cases Out Of Ten They Can He
Prevented or Checked by
Simple Means.

During the times of rain much dam
age is done to fields and roads by
washouts. The continued rains loosen
the soil, and when the short, heavy
showers come the rush of water tears
up the loosened soil and carries it
away, and in this way deep bitches
are torn in summer-fallowed fields
and in fields under cultivation. In
the same way roads, especially hill
sides, are badly torn up, causing dan
ger to travel and much expense for
repair. There is q simple and effec-
tive way both to prevent this damage
from going beyond control and to re-
pair it, no matter how large the gut
tiers are. Take fine hay, weeds, straw
or even briers, if not too large, and
scatter a few handfuls in place in
the bottom of the washout. Put
stones on this, to keep it in place.
Twenty or 30 feet farther down
stream put in another check like this,
and so on throughout the washout.
OF course, if the gully is larger and
much water comes down it, more hay
011u AcdV1cE SlOucS 1uuSt DC uScUs
The idea is that these checks slacken
the speed, and hence the tearing
power of the stream, and also hold all
sediment. Dams put in deep wash
out 30 rods long in a wheat field in
the fall, at intervals of 30 feet or SO,
caused the filling up of the ditch by
spring. Deep and dangerous wash
outs on hillsides on the public high
way can either be prevented or REM
edied by checks of the above kind
properly put in and looked after
from time to time. The usual way Of
dealing with these hillside washouts
is to let them go until the hill be-
comes impossible; then make job
of grading, ETC., at an expense of
from $50 to $50 to the county. Here
stitch in time would save 90. The
washouts in dams of ponds can be re-
paired in much the same way.-Troy.
