Steel ". Iron Horserho:s.

MANY blacksmiths are using steel
horseshoes instead OF those made of iron,
owing to their longer life. 1t has been
noticed, however, that steel shoe be-
comes hot after a brisk trot of couple
Of miles, under conditions where an iron
shoe would be unaffected. This heat,
besides showing that the foot has been
Jared, causes the hoof itself to crack and
dry up so that after a few months shoe
ing with steel the feet become bad.
The explanation is that the iron being
so much softer, does not slip lice steel,
and hence there Is not so much jarring

Etheridge wanted to exempt their re-
spectiye counties of Randolph ard
Dare from the provisions Of the bill
but Trey were voted down by big ma
jorities. Mr.. Brittian also Objected to
the provision of the bill exempting the
game wardens from liability 10 action
for damages in the performance Ct their
duty. The bilr passed its second read
ing.
When the bill came up tie House
took recess for twenty minutes and
heard Prof. T. Gilbert Pearson Of
Greensboro, who had drafted the bill
and was the moving spirit III the or
gan,zation of the Audubon Society OF
North Carolina. Prof. Pearson showed
with great force and c!earness the re-
cessity of doing something to preserve
our birds, the faithful allies OF the
farmers in destroying harmful insects,
and the scavengers OF the sea. He was
listened to with great attention and
was warmly applauded.
Prof. Pearson spoke Of the great MI
grations of the $4,000 species o! birds
known to exist in this country.
The sea-birds, be said, were the scav-
engers of the ocean. Some birds are Of
great benefit to humanity by feeding
upon the seeds of certain weeds. But
the principal service they perform for
mankind is in the destruction of In
sects. He described very graphically
and beautifully the methods pursued
by tbs birds in destroying all kinds CT
insects.
The swallow, he said, was known to
consume over 700 insects in one day,
and the robin twice it's own weight
every day. One nest iull OF thrushes
he had watched had consumed over
5000 worms in day.
He spoke OF the amount OF money
brought into the State by the Northern
hunters, who rent privileges from the
farmers, and so influence the farmers
to keep away irresponsible hunters,
thus preserving the birds.
The disappearance o! the passenger
pigeon and the North Carolina parakeet
was dwelt upon.
The law, he said, was being violated
all the time by shipping partridges out
of the State, and even mocklng birds.
The insect destroying birds were rapid
ly disappearing, partly on account
OF the advance of civilization, but most
ly by wanton destruction.
He told how the gulls and terms were
slaughtered on our coasts by Northern
plume-hunters, while in the Northern
Statse the coasts were paroled by game
wardens, to protect these scavengers OF
the sea. Not only were they scavengers,
but they actually showed fishermen
where the school of fish were and warn.
ed mariners by their cries at night.
Statistics had showed that one tenth
of the entire agricultural product OF the
United States was destroyed last year by
insects.
