Leather shoes for Horses.

In some districts of Australia horse
are shod with leather, instead OF iron,
says Harper's Bazaar. This plan rs EN-
ployed only in regions where the
ground is permanently covered Elth
grass. or fine sand, and gives the feet
better support. In country such as
Australia where a horseman may eX-
perience great difficulty, at a critical
moment in finding horseshoe, such an
innovation is a useful novelty. With
extra shoes, whose weight is a trlfle,
and which can be fitted without trou-
BILE, it is practicable to travel without
fear of the horse losing it's shoe and
being injured. Though the latter shoe
is more expensive than the iron shoe,
the higher price is repaid by the ST.
nerior advantages.

while there can be no doubt as to the

former is a separate matter and of

the only thing he is concerned about Is

ana development of plants from the
beginning or the termination of the
seed to the reproduction of the germ.
Each species Of plant has it's distinct
I've character and life habits and ONLY
nourlshes 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 or 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 be successfully
grown, except by artificial means
whereby the necessary natural condi-
ions are created. If the chemical com

climatic conditions unfavorable, the
latter can be created artificially-such

wise, 1t the soil is deficient in the
chemical elements which the plant re-
qulres, they can be added to, but in
either case the process is laborious and
expensive and the results unsa tisfac-
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
remed1ed by artificial means IN order,
therefore, to be successful 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

-. careful treatment are often entire
:, n7rpd also many horses with sound
boots are practically ruined by the
ignorance or carelessness of black
smiths.
The proper shoeing of horses and the
-oraraI care of their feet is a matter
that should receive the strict attention
~ every farmer, and yet, as a rule,
+ IS wofuIly neglected. The farmer
cborld have knowledge Of the natural
fo~ra+fon of q horses foot, so as to be
obIp to determine whether the animal
Is being properly shOd or not, and
while that is being done he should
never 90 away and leave the smith to
slight the work to get through with it
or bntcher its feet If he does not I'M
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoelng

should never be cut except to remove

intended to reduce the impact Of sud

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 A 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 shoHld not be
Tasped more than is necessary to clinch
The nails. as this thins the crust and re-
duces 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
