Therefore, when your kidneys are weak

quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its

Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial

The usefulness of horse depends
largely upon the quality Of his feet, If
they are sound and well taken care of
he is able to travel and work well.
but If they are defective and neglected
his usefulness is impaired and he can
not be depended on In any emergency,
as he is liable, when his services are
most needed, to become partially if not
wholly disabled resulting in serious
loss to his owner But few horses are
born with perfect feet, yet the defects
by careful treatment are often entire
~ cured; also many horses with sound
hoofs are practically ruined by the
ignorance or careleSsness of black
smiths.
The proper shoeing of horses and the
that should receive the strict attention
Of every farmer, and yet, as Il rule,
it is Nofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge of the natural
formation Of a horses foot, so as to be
able to determine whether the animal
Is being properly shod or not, and
while that is being done he should
never 60 away and leave the smith to
Slight the work to get through with it
or butcher its feet if he does not I'M
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoeing
horses can be given, some general prin-
ciples are acknowledged by all com
petent hOrseshoers, namely, the heel
should never be cut except to remove
a ragged point The same is true of
the frog, which is an elastic cushion
intended TO reduce the impact Of a sud
den shock to the foot. The butters
is an instrument that may do an i'm
mense amount of damage in the hands
of an incapable operator Much mis-
chief is done by it every day.
When the toe is too long and projects
beyond the hoof. it causes stumbling
and it should be shortened. A hot iron
should never be applied to the foot to
ascertain its evenness, as many black
smiths do merely TO save time, when
they know it is not right. \ scared
surface between the hoof and the shoe
makes the contact less perfect and the
shoe necessarily less rigid than it ought
to be.
The outside of the hoof should not be
rasped more than is necessary TO clinch
the nails, as this Trims the crust and re-
duccs the strength of the bearing sur
face of the foot. Weakening and decay
are sometimes the result of this prac-
tice. Oil applied to the hoofs occasion
ally during dry weather is beneficial.

Unprofitable Experimenting,

In the entire realm Of scientific in
esting and marvellous than the growth
and development of plants from the
beginning or the termination of the
seed to the reproduction Of the germ.
Each species of plant has its distinct
i've character and life habits and only
fourishes where natural conditions are
favorable to its growth. To attain any
degree of perfection, the soil and elm
ate combined must be such as the
plants require, although a moderate de-
gree of success may be attained when
either of these factors are not exactly
suited to its growth, but where both
are deficient in any considerable de-
gree the plant can not De successfully
grown, except by artificial means
whereby the necessary natural condi-
lions are created If the chemical com
position of the soil is favorable, and
climatic conditions unfavorable, the
latter can be created artitcially-such
as protection from cold and excessive
heat and lack of moisture-and, like
wise, if the soil is deficient in the
chemical elements which the plant re
quires, they can be added to, but in
either case the process is laborious and
expensive and the results unSatiSfac-
tory. All plants are Indigenous to
certain kinds of soil, and all soils are
especially adapted to the growth of
certain kinds Of plants, and nature can
not be improved upon in any way, nor
can her deficiencies be successfully
rcmedied by artificial means. In order,
therefore. to be succesSfu, in his bust
ness, the farmer must keep close to
nature and mark well her ways He
must raise only such crops as are best
adapted to the soil of his farm, in ac-
cordance with his experience, and
wholly refrain from extensive expert,
ments with such as are Of doubtful
utility.
