Letter to j. w. Hill.
San Angelo, Texas.

Dear Sir: AS your business is
to get people in and out of
trouble, suppose you consider
their paint; it makes 'em almost
as much trouble as money, except
Of course matrimony,
They buy poor paint a good
deal; they don't mean to; thev
don't know any better; they buy
without thinking. Bad paint
isn't good. 1t looks good enough
for a year; then begins to get
rusty; but changes so slowly, one
don't notice it.
Looking isn't all. The bust
ness of paint is to keep house
dry inside, the wood and iron of
it; keep it from rotting and rust
ing. Takes good paint to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at
about that. One can't 60 by the
price at all; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing to do with good
ness or badness; and costs are
worse yet; the painter an sheriff
come in for their share.
But the probability is that a
man, who paints Devoe, will come
out on top. Yours truly,
W. f. DEvoE & Co.

THE FEET OF HORSES.
influence of Soil on shape and Tcx
ture of Hoofs.


An English agricultural journal says
that the nature of the soil on which
horses are bred and reared has n GER
tain influence OH the shape and quality
of their hoOfS. Horses bred In hilly
districts as general rule possess com
paratlvey upright and small, but very
strong and tough. feet. while the hoofs
of horses reared on marshy and low
lying land are of exactly the opposite
character, being usually big, more or
less Hat or spreading and soft
There is, of course, considerable
amount of difference i'm the quality and
shape of the feet of individual horses
bred under exactly the same conditions
of soil But, broadly speaking, the
shape of Il horses foot is in all cases
governed To- greater or less extent
10y tie class of soil on which the ami
mai Is bred and reared. Damp soil
causes the production of soft spongy
horn in the feet of young horses, and
dryncss. on the other hand. favors the
growth of tough and closely tcXturcd
horn.
The feet of growing horses reared
on soft, spongy and damp soil are
very apt to become Overgrown or bad
~ shaped owing to the insufficient
amount of wear which the horn Is
subjected to on such soil In Consc.
Qucncc of the horn continually growing
and not sufficient of 1t being worn
away the hoofs readily become over
grown and If this Is not remcdicd by
the use of the drawing knife they
eventually assume a bad shape.
When young horses are reared on
dry uplying land, where the soil is
comparatively firm and hard, the horn
of the hoors wears away ut much
more rapid rate than 1t does In the
case of spongy and soft SOIL and there
Is much less risk of the feet becoming
overgrown or assuming bad shape
In practice this Is simply borne out
by the fact that the percentage OF
cases of badly shaped feet Is much
smaller among horses reared on dry
and firm soil than II Is among those
that have been bred on soft and
marshy land.
