BAD SHOEING
INJURIES FEET
Other Troubles Cause Horses to
Step GingerIy When Elk
teuded-Good Remedy
Is Recommended
By J. BAILEY BRUCE)

by j. BAILEY b0OCE.J
Owing to bad shoeing and also
many other causes many horses suffer
with contracted feet.
The heels are narrowed and the
horse steps gingerly with a desire to
extend himself when forced to trot or
gallOp.
The writer is now using horse Fl
years old and when he drove him for
the first time in December last saw
that he experienced great difficulty in
extending himself and especially on
rough or stony roads.
He was shod with heel calks on the
front as we'll as the hind feet and it
was very perceptible that the heels of
his front feet were too narrow.
After three unsuccessful trials with
regular blacksmiths the horse was ex-
amined by competent veterinary sur
geon who pronounced his trouble to
be contracted heels.
He had them shod perfectly level in
front, springs were placed in between
the back Of his shoes to keep tht heels
spread and piece of sole leather was
tackled across the hllows Of the hoof
below the hoof and the shoes to pro-
tect the sole of the foot and break
the jar of travelling on rough and stony
places.
About once of twice week hoof
ointment consisting Of one pint OF
Meats foot oil with two tablespoon
fuls of oil of tar was applied on the
outside of the front feet with soft
rag and then. raising the edge Of the
leather, little is poured over the
sole of the foot and few drops in
the heel cleft.
Since the last shoeing and following
the treatment above described the
horse has improved wonderfully In his
road work and rarely fiinches, even
going at 12-miie-an-hour slip.

C8y CAPT. A H WADDELLD
The most useful citizen the coun-
try can produce is the man who looks
upon the soil of the earth and says,
what can l grow from it or produce
upon it?"
Agriculture and live stock are the
main stays of humanity, and it is to
the husbandman and breeder that
kings and princes as well as the hum
BILE peasant must turn with thankful
ness and gratitude not only for the
blessings of life, but for existence it
self
Great Britain, the home and the
birthplace of the greatest breeders
and farmers the world has ever
known, owes this honored position to
the aristocracy of that country. 1t
was these people who of their means
and abundance sought for and ac-
quired the ways of enriching and i'm
proving the soil and the animals that
graZed upon It.
Let an example by the highest in
the land, the country squire, the gen
lehman farmer, and eventually the
tenant farmer himself, each to a
greater or lesser extent, strive to
copy the teachings of the lords of the
manor until a keen rivalry of the
most friendly nature sprang up be-
tween landlord and tenant, in con
test for supremac. in the productions
of the farm and the live stock that
were bred thereon.
Agricultural shows sprang up in
the various counties at which were to
be seen the great draft horses, cat
Gle, sheep and swine of the large
landed proprietors, standing side by
side, though in lesser numbers, with
those OF the tenant farmer and even
the humble cottager. Looking on and
keenly observant, could be seen the
noble lord with his wife and chill
dren as well as the tenant farmer
and the cottager with all the mem
bers OF their households and waiting
for the verdict of the judges who in
those early days stamped themselves
as the master breeders, and whose
names are written down upon the
role OF honor of England's great
breeders and agriculturists.
To-day, not only do the titled peo-
pie, country gentlemen and farmers
of that land continue in their breed
ing and its still further improvement

of the towns and cities have taken it

interest and consummate skill, that it
In difficult to find a man of wealth
who has a taste for breeding and
farming who is not occupying his leis-
are moments in this way.
nc is this splendid state of affairs
that has made breeding and farming
what it is I'm Great Britain today, and
while that glorious old country can
fearn much from the great. young,

try of note engraving which failed to
record that fact would be incomplete.
Paul Revere was tbe first American
bank note artist, and from the time OF
the chartering of the Bank of North
America under the direction of Rob
ert Morris, 1871, up to the present,
American engravers have excelled not
only in the artistic quality of their de-
signs, but in their provisions against
counterfeiting.
The American style of bank note
has become the standard in the coun-
tries of Central and South America.
The experience Of the Brazilian gov
eminent led the way in this, after
various disappointments. First the
muon Wanted Austrian system was
tried. the notes being engraved and
printed in England under that system.
They proved complete failure. Coun-
terfeiters fourished. The BraZilians
tried bank notes made in France, and
these were promptly and extensively
initiated as soon as the counterfeiters
could get their plates and paper ready.
Brazil tried German and English estab-
lishments, but still without securing
protection to the bank note circula-
ton, and at last turned to the United
States and found type of bills prac-
iooyo RI
it is no boast but mere record of
fact to state that Americans make the
best bank notes in the world.
The governments Of continental Eu-
rope depend exclusively upon color
work to protect their paper currency,
sue have civil engineers in charge of
their bureau of engraving and print
ing-though what connection there
may be between engineering and en-
craving is a mystery. Many Italian
bank notes are easy to counterfeit.
The Bank of Spain has of late aban-
doned it's own plant, because its notes
were initiated so successfully that
counterfeits were accepted by the
bank without question. A private con-
Germ now does the work. The Bank
of Greece now uses the American
method, having had sad experiences
with notes of Austrian, German and
English fashioning. .ss
A myth that probably will never die
tells us that the notes of the Bank of
England cannot be counterfe1ted. AZ
a matter of fact, they can be initiated
readily enough, for little attempt is
made to protect the notes beyond the
use of water mark paper. The wa
ter mark can be easily copied. Never
theless, the shadow of the hangman
still seems to deter English counter
letters.
The custom of circulating soiled
bank notes, of course, gives the coun-
terfeiter his best opportunity. For
gerry is much more readily detected

CODE BILL

ALTERS PRESENT METHODS
Divides State Into Four Districts and
Gives School Boards Power to Levy
Taxes.


Gives School Boards Power to Levy
Taxes.
Senator Tustin, of Philadelphia, in
troduced the school code into the
Pennsylvania senate. This bill lacks
some of the features which maze
| the code of two years ago unaccept-
able and is expected to pull through.
| One of it's chief provisions enables the
Philadelphia school board to float It's
own loans and imposes on the school
district, as distinct from the city,
proportion of the municipal debt.
By enabling the school district to as
sumo it's own loans the Philadelphia
| debt limit will be increased about $780,
100000.
Elective school boards of fifteen
members in Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, each member to serve six years;
the right of the Philadelphia board to
levy separate tax not to exceed SIX
| mills for school purposes and to make
loans for building new school build
ings; division of the state into four
classes of school districts, the first
class embracing Philadelphia and
Pittsburg; and the divorce of the
school control in any way from city
councils are the important featui es OF
the code.
The school districts of the second
class, according to the new code, will
be made up of those having a popula-
ton of from 10000 to $4,000.
In Philadelphia and Pittsburg the
school boards will have fifteen men,
bers, all of whom will be first appoint
ed by the courts, one-third for two
years, one-third for four years and one
third for six years, and at the expira-
ton of their terms their successors
will be elected bi-annually at large for
terms of six years This method has
been followed, it is explained, because
of the demand that board which has
the right to levy school taxes and to
borrow money for improvements
should be elective rather than ap-
pointive.
The important feature of the code is
that which gives the Philadelphia
board TIE right to levy separate tax
and to make loans. This will give the
city the opportunity of borrowing adj
ditional millions when the school
loans are taken over by the board.
The school loans cannot exceed 2 per
cent of the valuation of the city.
The school board will be required to
pay all school expenses, interest and
sinking fund charges on all school tax.
The new code provides for a state
board of education of seven members,
to be appointed by the governor for
six years, the term of one to expire
each year The board members are to
serve without pay, and their function
| will be largely advisory. They will
have the power to investigate school
problems and recommend new legisla-
ton.
The code calls for the accumulation
| of a state school fund by revenues
| from the forest lands of the state. The
! revenues are to be kept intact. only
the income from them being used.
Medical inspection for every child
in the schools of the state is feature
of the bill. One section gives superin-
tendents and supervising principals
the power to select, recommend, adopt
| and make changes of text books.
