tion of the sole. The newly formed
horn is soft and spongy, and Incapable
of resisting exposure to the ai.r, but as
it is pushed far't'her away Prom this
surface by suooessive deposits of fresh
material It becomes old horn, loses
its moisture. and doing so acquires
hardness' sufficient' to withstand ex-
ternal influences, Tben it is subjcot-
ed to wear and if this be insufficient
to redeee sufficiently it falls off in
scales. This natural diminution in the
excess of horn of the sole is a most
beneficial process for the hoof.
Horn ss a slow conductor of heat and
oold and when thick retains moisture
ter a long per'od. These flakes then
act as a natural "stopping" to the .hoof
by aecuen1ula.ting aud retaining mots -
Luxe beneath and this not only keeps
the, foot pool as it slowly evaporates
but insures for the solid and growing
horn its toughuess alastioity and pro-
per development. In addition to this
every flake aeta more or less as a
spring in warding oft braises or oth-
er injuries to the sole. Any one can
readily understand the damage that
must result in consequence of the sole
being thus ruthlessly denuded of its
protection and exposed to the most
serious injury. A shoe should never
under any ciroumatanoes, remain on
a horse more then two months, and
a less time would. be all the better.
The first operation generally after
the horse arrives at the forge for
shoeing is to tear eV the old shoes,
if any are on; then the shoer takes
Ins knives, and the process of paring
out the hoof comn,eaoes. This proce-
dure is as barbarous as it is unneces-
sary and unreasonable especially
when carried to the extent that it
often is, viz to pare the sole until
it springs to the pressure of the
theulnb. In the great majority of
shops this most pernicious practice is
parried out, either because the own-
er of the horse thinks it necessary, or
the blacksmith that it is more work-
manlike, though if he is pressed hard
for any other reason be is unable to
give one of a satisfactory character.
The practice of the paring of the sole
is, in my opinion, abetted in the ex-
treme, and has not abe most trifling
recommendation to support it. Nor do
I believe that in the operation of shoe-
ing a horse an edged tool should ever
be used. The rasp is all that is ne-
cessary, and that should be used with
extreme Caution,
MANY KINDS.
As there are many kinds of people,
so there are many kinds of sheep, We
must not expect every ewe in the flock
to bring us good and strong lambs -
there are always weaklings and de-
generate lambs in a flock.-aud it may
be wise to let these go. as weeds, to
the waste pile, before they have cost
more than they will ever come to.
Tha weak in a Gook are Crowded
from their feed; they get the worst
in every enc anter with the strong-
er sheep; and when so mixed up it
is impossible to give them the special
care and treatment which is neces-
sary to save them. The uuly safe and
sure way to save these sheep is to
separate the flock into distInbt parts,
and to trent eabh of these' in a ration-
al, safe and so successful a manner.
This is especially necessary as to the
feeding. Weak sheep need special
feeds and the best and most digestible
whish shouldi be kept distinctly sep-
arate for their use. They frequently
need medical treatment; they need
watching closely, to observe the ef-
fects of this, and sometimes evenspe-
cial separate pens sho'old be provid-
ed in which the needed atteatiou may
be given.
IMPROVING HOBS.
A herd of common hogs may be
quickly and cheaply improved by in-
trotllucing a boar of any good breed,
but of pure blood. Ssleet a new one
of the same breed each year but not
a near relative. Stroh a Course will
give a herd all the oharaoteristics of
that breed in a few s cars. But if each
year a new breed 3s soleoted the at-
tempted improvement willp rove n
failure. In -and -in breeding is anoth-
and fatal ernes in petpet'mting our
best breeds and families, as no animal
shows deterioration from that cause

THE LETTER BOX.
Tho Jenloney of a fudge Came
Very Near Veins Rio
Ruin.
One day as he entered the vestibule of
a large' house Inhabited by'Aerobants and
government oflietals be found the janitor
sorting the morning mall and putting
some of the letters into the mail boxes
Which were nailed to the wall near the
front staircase, Somehow Hansa caught
a glimpse of one of the letters, The ad-
dress struck him ae being in a familiar
handlvriting, and no sooner had the jam
itor dropped the letter into one of the
boxes than it flashed upon ham that it
was Withelmina's. A wild feeling of
curiosity took bold of Hansa. His sweet-
heart had never told ham she knew any-
body in this remote part of the city, much
less that she was in correspondence with
a resident ot this house, Who could It
be? Or was he mistaken? Was it mere-
ly an accidental similarity of handwrit-
ing? He burned to see the letter once
more, and as his eyes met the janitor's
he asked involuntarily:
"Whose box is It?"
"A young gentleman's. He has lived
here since Christmas. He is a young
painter. He Is single, yet he occupies a
large apartment. He's rich and hand-
some," said the janitor, with obsequious
garrulity.
Ludwig', heart sank within him. At
the sable tine he was overcome with a
keen sense of his self humiliation at dis-
cussing a gentleman with a janitor.
"You are not asked to tell all this," he
said gruffly and betook himself to the
house of his uncle, the old town hall
clerk, on the third door, rear staircase.
That evening Hansa said to Wilhel-
mina:
"As I passed through K— street this
morning I met an old chum of mine
whom I had not seen for three years,"
and as he spoke be watched her closely
to see the effect which the mention o2 the
street would have on her. She blushed,
sure enough! The blood rushed to his
face, then back to bis heart, and he telt
held to the spot. Was he mistaken? It
he was, why did she not even ask what
he had been doing on IC— street? At.
all eveuta, he repeated the name again
and again, staring her full in the face.
She did not exactly blush, but her eyes
certainly bad an unsteady look in them.
She seemed to be painfully embarrassed.
"What's the matter, Wilhelmina?" be
asked.
"Nothing."
"Ate you sick?"
"What's got into you?"
"But you look-er-I thought-er-you
looked-er-indisposed."
She burst out laughing, and he couldn't
help joining in, but In the depths ofhis
heart lay a trouble which was growing
more excruciating every minute. It he
could only ask her and have done with
111 But this he had mot the heart to do.
Indeed she might take offense and return
his engagement ring. The judge shud-
dered to think of it.
. The next day he went to his uncle's.
As he passed the painter's letter box he
took a look at the peepholes in the door.
There were no letters within.
His curiosity kept growing and with It
his wretchedness.
"What were YOU laughing at the other
day, Wilhelmina?" he inquired.
"When?" eke asked with a blank face.
"When I was telling you about IC—
street."
—
street"
"K— etreotl" she echoed. "Where is
K— street?"
"Can it be that she does not remember
the way she burst out laughing that day
or is she acting a part?" he asked him-
self. "She certainly heard me speak of
i►— street,"
"Why, 1 told you I met a friend whom
I bad not seen for three years, and" -
"That I remember, but what has that
got to do with K— street?" she de -
mended rather testily.
"Simply this," he answered morosely,
"that I told you stow my friend and I
had suet on 51— street."
"But what of it? What difference does
it 0lnite whether it was K— street or
`Charlottes street or any other street?"
"To you it does not perhaps, but to 013
it does," he declared vehemently and
dropped his glance.
"I dou't know what you're talking
about, Ludwig," she rejoined, whereupon
he scrutinized her face for some mo-
ments, and, convincing himself that her
remark was perfectly sincere, ho broke
into a merry Laugh as he said:
"I don't know what I am talking about
myself."
They went out for a walk and passed
a happy evening together, and as he pro-
ceeded on his way home he berated him -
'sett for a jealous idiot and a booby. He
went to bed in excellent spirits and slept
like a top, Nevertheless the next morn-
ing as he bent over his washstand and
began roiling up the sleeve of his under-
feed a elsagreeable thought planted li-
mit in his brain. There was a question
nark to that thought, "Can it be that
she was tooling me; that it was all ace
Ing?' he asked himself. "If she loves
somebody else, what tnade her accept
me?" he argued and regained bis cont
oaure but thenext s
b moment he reflected
o m e
that the painter might be prevented from
marrying Wilbelluina. He imagined n
weird lore Intrigue, a mysterious plot
with His Wilbolmina as its central fig-
ure, and his curiosity and the mystery
grow "hat crew.lou?'1' she inked him one
da, noticing his worried look.
"Nothing at all,"
"But you look out of sorts,"
lie assured her he was in good spirit's,
but Inwardly wondered whether her ques-
tions worn not pert of a complex scheme
to ,receive him.
One day, as he entered the vestibule of
the house where his unele lived, he be-
held a letter in the painter's box, Ile
took a close look at it through the little
holes in the door, and, oh, horrors, he
was sure the "len" which he could make

Ilia way hack to hie uncle's door, '
Tltat night Ile dreamed of a letter box.
It was somehow confused with his court
room. Bach peephole in the floor was at
the sante time an eye, an eye which was
winking, while a orowd of people were
hooting and Jeering at him.
"'.Chis foolishuoss must stop," he said
to himself In the morning, But it did not
stop, and a week hadnot linseed before
he found himself in front of the terrible
letter box one? more, grappling with his
temptation and -the painter's letter. This
time he fished It out undisturbed, but to
his great joy and at the same time to
his great chagrin, the address turned out
to be so utterly unlike W1lhelmina's chi•
rography that be hastily slid it back. But
then the next letter he pulled out was
addressed in a hand so strikingly like
hers that hie head grew dizzy, and he
seemed on the verge o2 a fainting spell.
He heard a noise, however, and in his
rush to restore the letter to the box he
escaped the fainting spell, which was an
excellent thing to escape;'but, then, how
was he to find out what Wilhelmina was
writing to that accursed painter? "Oh,
heavens!" he exclaimed, dropping hie
arms in blank despair. "Wbo is he?
What is he? Why have I not the cour-
age to speak to her frankly, openly, and
put an end to my misery?"
• • • • • • •
"What's the matter with my letters?"
asked the painter, holding out one which
was all slashed at one end and full of
triangular Holes in the center.
"I'll ask the letter carrier," answered
the janitor.
Never mind asking the letter earlier,"
retorted the painter. "I bave spoken to
him myself, and be says he delivers my
letters free from pockmarks. Tbis is the
fifth letter I have received in this condi-
tion. There must be some fiend in the
rase, some fellow wbo has a knife and
doesn't know what to do with it, and I
tell you, tbls thing will have to stop or
I'll move to a place where my mail will
be safe."
The upshot of it was that a trap was
set, and his honor was caught with an
empty envelope in his hand,
"So you are the chap:" shouted the
janitor, grabbing him by the collar. "You
are dressed like a gentleman, but you act
like a miserable sneak."
"Hush, hush!" the unhappy young man
besought hls captor. "A great mister
tune has befallen me, but I'll explain the
matter to your satisfaction and make it
worth your while it you only make no
noise and let the affair go no further."
"What; Bribing me to keep quiet?
Who Are you, anyhow, and what do you
do here so often? Are you n thief?"
Hansa trembled. "Atter this I have no
right to continue as judge. I am going
to resign," he thought to himself. "I am
going to commit suicide," he added, a
moment later.
There was nothing for It but to tell the,
janitor about his nude. As good luck,
would have it the uncle was an old and'
respected tenant, and, what was still
more to the purpose, the aunt and the I
janitress were bosom friends, The mat-
ter was hushed up without Hansa being
put to the necessity of telling the whole
truth.
"1t struck me as it It were the hand-
writing of a man whom I used to know,"
he said, and, although the explanation
was auything but exhaustive, no further
questions were asked. And as the of-
fense was not repeated the janitor was
satisfied and the episode coon faded out
o2 his mind.
The incident cured Kansa of his jeal-
ousy and of part of his sentimentality.
The wedding took place shortly after,
and now he presides over the proceedings
o2 his court with has old time dignity,
but often when he gives himself airs, he
checks himself. Often, too, when about
to pronounce a heavy sentence the letter
box stands forth before his mind's eye,
urging the weakness of human nature
and pleadiug for mercy. The judge smiles
then he thinks ot that affair. "What o
child I was!" he says to himself. And
yet the letter box has done him a con-
siderable amount et good. -Translated

It is mistaken policy to save seeds
from the last and most feeble growth
of plants. A portion 02 each valu-
able variety in the garden should be
selected from those in full strength
and vigor, and allowed to ripen un-
' disturbed. Seeds irom such are worth
double those gathered from the for-
mer; they are certain, while the oth-
et•s are not and experience has prov-
ed that the first matured seeds will
develop their kind two weeks in ad-

est growth.

grasp lb ;whcas you go to shoot, In
Carrying your gun do not keep the
muzzle directly behind you; throw the
butt to the right or lett, Whichever
shoulder you are carrying ib on. This
will bring the m+szzle toward the op-
:
posite shoulder, thus rendering it easy
to Darty, as it will be resting ern your
neck and shoulder, instead of on the
small past of your shoulder, and with
the muzzle upward will also lighten
it a little.
There are more men shot with their
own guns by taking them from a boat
