"Oh, 1 hope so," responded Lady

SHOEING HORSES IN H'INTL•:a.
A couple of 'tours spent in a
blacksmith's shop about the time it
freezes up in winter can often bo
put to very good use by tho owner
of horses. The writer recently "ado
such a visit just as n drafter weigh-
ing in moderato fart" flesh 1,720
pounds was taken to be shod. A
genling weighing perhaps 1,100
pounds was just ahead of him 1n
arriving and as a consequence was
entitled to prior attention. The
owner of the little gelding asked
the smith to shoo and left it to "go
down town" r.

The smith's assistant took off the
shoes, an* parcel 1110 feet till they
were deeply concave, cut down the
frogs, cut through the bars and

n.rred on, 1110 nails clinched and the
hoofs rasped oil to meet the shoe.
When the drafter's turn came no
such pranks were played. The shoos
were taken ofT, a rag or two snipped
oft the big healthy frogs, the soles
were left entirely alone and rho
wails were rasped level and that
was all that was done to his feet.

his mistake. There is no business

half ton of. hay per acre was re-

land, as the result of the applica-
tion of only 100 pounds of standard
superphosphate, but the fields, or,
at least, the grass, were in gond
condition to begin with, not halt

ant crop on most farms, we should
study to do ell we can to keep up
and hicrease the yield each year by
all the means within our power.
Milk as a food, when combined
with other feeds, has a very Much
larger feeding value than when fed
by itself. It also increases the
value of the other feed. Just how
this is, the scientists have not .yet
worked nut. 'Thus an experiment
was made in feeding 100 pounds of
skirt milk to pigs weighing about
125 pounds. That skint milk when
fed alone, made five pounds of pork.
Then 100 pounds of corn was Lid
alone, and that made ten pounds ol
pork. ilut when the two were foil
together the •oxperimcmters wcro
surps'ised to find that they made
eighteen pounds of pork, or these
plands snore than could be ex-
} iucd.
