Kitchen Line.

A convenient clothesline for the
kitchen or other place where a clothes
drying line is sometimes needed, is
rolled into an oxidized copper reel
case about five inches in diameter.
This reel screws to a wall or casing
and a hook is put up in casing on
another wall. When the line is want
ed it is stretched across the space
between the two and is fastened by a
ring over. the hook, the reel mean-

line is not in use 1t Is out Of the dust

long. It would be convenience for

PROPER CARE OF
HORSES HOOPS
Wall, or Crust, Which Seems
to Possess Greatest Interest
for HOrseman - Rate
Of Growth.

All parts of the hoof, which is COM
posed of wall with its infection, the
bars, a sole, and a foot-pad, or frog, are
of Importance as regards the useful
ness of the foot but it is the wall or
crust-that part Of the hoof which can
be seen when the foot is on the ground
which seems to possess the greatest
interest for the horseman. It Is SUBJ
ject to many defects and is very IN
timately connected with the retention
If the shoe.
No natural division exists, but for
conveniences of description it is divid-
ed into toe, quarters and heels. The
wall is thickest and longest at the
toe, thinnset and shortest at the heel,
a gradual decrease in thickness oc-
curing from front to rear. The horn
grows downward from the wan, Sc
GREETING a coronary substance with
equal rapidity, but there are certain
conditions which influence growth.
Abundant and regular exercise, good
grooming in keeping the feet picked
out and washed out, preserving the
moisture and suppleness OF the hoof
by retaining in its integrity the e1-
ternal layer Of horn known as the
periople, and at proper intervals re-
moving the overgrowth Of horn and
regulating the bearing surface favor
the rapid growth Of horn Of good quail
ity. while lack of exercise and rasping
the crust, which causes dryness ana
brittlenesk and excessive length OF
hoof, hinder growth. Perhaps good
and bad feeding also have an infiu-
ence.
The average rate of growth is about
one-third of an inch a month. Hlno
hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs, ana,
as nature compensates for wear, IN
shod hoofs grow faster than snoo
ones. The actual time required TOT
the horn to grow from the coronet 70

to slight degree by the above-men-
toned conditions, Of course, varies IN
proportion to the distance OF the core

an expanse of one and three-fourths
inches In the male to two and one-half
inches In the female. The larva is
yellow or dirty white, marked with
brown or black dots, and about two
inches long. See illustrations.
The moths appear about July 1, the
males being very common around cleo
trio lights, and the females lay eggs
singly or in groups Of two, three or
four, in the crevices of the bark or
near the buds. The larvae, Matching
In few days, begin to tunnel in the
twigs, and by the end of the season
are about one inch in length. They
leave the small branches and crawl
over the bark to enter larger ones,
cutting galleries in them and expelling
the frass through round holes, which
they soon close with silk webs. Dur
ing October the borers go deeper into
the wood and remain through the win
ter two inches or more beneath the
bark They pupate in their burrows
the second spring, and before the
moth emerges the pupa works itself
partly out of the opening, and the
adult flies away, leaving the empty
case protruding from the burrow.
There are few natural checks, only
one parasite being known in this
country and four in Europe. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that certain birds,
especially woodpeckers, prevent the
spread of the leopard moth in the open
country. Many larvae are doubtless
killed by the breaking off of the
branches, which in cities are carted
away and destroyed.
Removing infested branches; inject
ing carbon disulphide (bisulphide) into
the burrows, and stopping the open
ing; probing with a hooked wire for
the larva, are some of the methods OF
control.
Planting species Of trees not badly
infested, like oaks, honey locust and
sycamore, and especially those kinds
that do not grow very large, and have
a smooth bark; placing trees further
apart, so that the larvae cannot easily
crawl from one to the other; and
keeping the trees well nourished and
vigorous, are the chief preventive
measures.
