Not At Home"
Circuit Clerks Office not Open
To Callers this Week.

Several days ago, Mr. orosthwaite,
secured from Judge Hart, process or
order which was thought would be the
"Open Sesame" to the office upon
which his gaze is lOngingly fixed. But
when he sought to serve the aforesaid
aud the same, "NeighbOr" Kennedy
was observed to be "non est" in so far
as said service was concerned. It is re-
ported that Crosthwaite has a camp
stool against the securely locked door Of
the office, while he anxiously awaits the
return of the former incumbent from
yisitin.' And thus the situation devel-
ores apace, and up to the hour of going
to press, the order had not been exc
cuted,

800 REWARD. 500.

The readers Of this paper Will be
pleased to learn that there Is at
least one dread disease that science
has been able to cure in all It's stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundations
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature In doing its
work. The proprIetors have SO much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that 1t fails to cure. Send for

place in a cup. If the soil happens
to be very wet 1t may not beneces-
sary to moisten it, but as rule il
will be wise to mix little rain wat
er with It. Add enough water Ia
make the soil into a thick paste. Then
take long strip of the litmus paper
and put It between layers OF the
soil and press tightly around it. Let
the litmus paper remain for several
minutes and then take II out, and il
necessary wash free OF the soil and
examine. If the paper is changed in.
to decided pink the soil is strong
ly acid and a good application OF
lime will be necessary. If it is on
ly slightly pink the degree of acid
ity it not SO marked and lighter
application of lime will prove effec-
tive. 1t Is very important that this
test be made, and it is so simple
and easy that there is no reason
why 1t should be neglected
Lime may be applied in various
forms Agricultural lime is now on
the market, and there is no serious
objection to its use provided it is
made from burnt and freshly-ground
lime, II 1t can be bought at a rea-
sonable cost. 1t has some advan-
tages, in that II can be used through
an ordinary grain drill at the rate
of 200 to 500 pounds per acre. As
a rule, unslaked lime will prove very
satisfactory, This should weigh so
pounds to the bushel, and when
bought In this condition is practic-
ally free OF water, and as burnt lime
on shaking takes up several hundred
pounds OF water per ton, there is u
decided advantage in buying II In the
unslaked form, as II is not only more
economical, but saves greatly on the
freight bills as we'll. The lime when
taken t. the farm may be slaked so
as to reduce II to very fine powder
by the addition of water, or it may
be placed in the field in heaps OF
two or three bushels at convenient
distances, covered lightly with earth,

BALANCING HORSES.

A great many people don't know
what man means when he says he
wants that horse balanced up SO
that he can travel" Balancing q
horse means whole lot, says the
Family Herald He must be balan-
ced as perfectly as pair of mer-
chants scales If the blacksmith,
as horseshoer, would take care to
get the inside Of the foot the same
height as the outside, and get the
shoe the right length. there is no
trouble. Some smiths will put on
a shoe one-half inch too short, and
II the animal goes lame he doesn't
know what's the matter Some horse
will wear a shorter shoe than others
of the difference in the de-
grees in the shape of tn hoof Some
want long toe and some short
one. Therefore there will be a diff
ference Of 40 to AZ degrees,and on a
short toe you will find that the horse
md straighter, that is, the
upper pastern joint will come direct
ly over the foot With long toe
you will find that the upper pastern
joint will drop back more or less. An
easy way to get the length of the shoe
you want is to take a square and
place it on the floor. Let the tongue
OF the square come to the center of
the pastern joint and then see how
many inches you have from the toe
to the heel. If you follow this rule
you will nave fewed lame horses
Another authority asks these pert
iment questions: Does the horses
hoof fully cover the entire lower
border of the wall, or is it too mar
row OF fitted so full on the inside
that 1t has given rise TO interfering,
or has the shoe been nailed on crook
ed. or has 1t become loose and shift
ed? Is 1t too short or so wide at
the ends of the branches as not to
support the buttresses of the hoof?
