Cure for Brittle HOOfs.

Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs caused by a deficiency of
water In the bone. This condition may
he caused by fever of the feet. as in
common founder; inflammation Of the
interior of the feet; exposure to fer
menting manure Of filthy stables by
which the horn is saturated with
moisture containing ammonia. 1t may
also be caused by leaving the feet
covered with mud. or by continued dry
weather or other unhealthy conditions.
The horn may thus become dry and
granulated and often separates very
easily, crumbling and splintering away
until there is scarcely crust enough
left to fasten a shoe upon.
The remedy is to remove the cause
and restore the moisture. Frequent
washing Of the feet with cold water
will aid materially in curing. Glycer-
inc and water in equal parts make ex-
cellent dressings for the hoofs.

\ Detested Plant.

No sort of bird. beast or creeping
thing will touch a castor oil plant. II
seems to be a rank poison to all the
animal world. Even goat will starve
before biting Off leaf, and horse
will sniff at it and turn up his upper
lip as though II had the most detest-
able odor on the face of the earth.
Army worms and the locusts will pass
il by. though they may eat every other
green thing in sight, and there Is no
s,lrer way TO drive moles away from a
lawn than to plant few castor beans
here and there. Even the tobacco worm
will refuse to be fed on its leaves
There is hardly another instance in
natural history Of plant being so uni
vcrsally dctcsted by the animal world.

For the past two days he has had quite a force of men clearing the mud out of the ditches SO that he can get water to sprinkle the avenue. He feels confident that the people who use Central avenue will have no cause for complaint after the present week. MT. Vaughn says that the amount of traffic on Central av- enue is wonderful. Thete are dozens of vehicles going back and forth all the time, sometimes twenty-five CT thirty in sight atone time.
 There is supposed to be no heavy hauling on this road, but MT. Vaughn says that the cCal wagons going to the Indian school carry four or five tons at q load. The Indian school has also received or will receive during the next three or four weeks about tWen- ty carloads of supplies which will be hauled out Central avenue. MT Good man, superintendent Of the Indian school, does all he can to repair the damage which his teams do to the IOaG. The school contributes $50 a year toward keeping up the road and the Indian boys do considerable work on
