A FEW DOTS ON HORSE SHOEING AND TIRE SETTING, AS DONE AT TOM THURSTON’S SHOP.
HORSE-SHOEING.
Mr. D. E* Maher, the only scientific horseshoer
in Butts Cos. dees my shoeing. He has been shoeing
horses in Jackson about 6 years and has made the
anatomy and physiology of the horse’s bod yin gener
al, and the foot and leg in particular, a special study.
\ think this coupled with his practical experience
puts hint in a position to do first class horseshoeing.
The object of horseshoeing is to protect the hoof
from excessive wear, and thus render the horse con
tinuously serviceable upon our hard roads; also to
prevent slipping and falling during the winter season
and to so far remove disadvantages of faulty positions
of the limbs that horses may render good services, and
in some cases to cure or improve diseased or detect
ive hoofs or feet. Horseshoeing, apparently simple
involves many difficulties, owing to the fact that the
hoof is not an unchanging body, brjt varies much with
respect to form, growth, quality and elasticity.

Whst Worried Mark’s Mother-
I was always told that l was a sick
ly and precarious and tiresome and
uncertain child and lived mainly on
h:g the first seven years
of my life. I asked my mother about
this in her old age—she .was in her
eighty-eighth year—and said:
“I suppose that during all that time
you were uneasy about me?”
“Yes, the whole time.”
“Afraid 1 wouldn’t'live?”
After a reflective pause, ostensibly to
think out the facts:
-\V afraid y m would.” Mark-
Twain in North American Review.
one arternoon Aunt Sue was explain
ing the meaning of various words to
her young nephew. “Now. an heir
loom, my dear, means something that
lias been handed down from father to
son.” she said. “Well,” replied the
boy thoughtfully, “that’s a queer name
tor my pants.”—Chase (Kan.) Register.

has no letter provided for it, and this
makes a change in the Sunday letter
after February, so that in Leap years
there are two dominical letters. As
the common year contains fifty-two
weeks and one day, tilt* dominical let
ter changes from year to year, always
going backward one place for a com
mon year and two places for Leap
years. This mode of representing the
days of the week has been uninterrupt
edly employed in the calendar of the
church since the earliest times.
Want Their Money Back.
In 1003 Frankfort, N. Y., installed a
municipal electric light plant at a
cost of $0.50 for each Inhabitant. The
village tin-tees have now made a
flve year contract with the Utica Gas
and Electric company because its price
is less than the mere operating cost of
tho municipal plant.
Not Good Business.
Demagogues may say what they
please, but government ownership, mu
nicipal or national, is wrong from the
business man’s point of view.—Jerome

that is taxed you pay the taxes.
Broadening influence cf Public Life.
“It broadens one’s horizon, so to
speak, does it not,” inquired the man
who was studying municipal condi
tions, “to serve tho city in the capacity
of alderman?”
“I don’t know about that,” answered
the other man, “but I have noticed
that it generally broadens his equator.’’

A train was halted near Liverdnn, in
France, by the presence on the line of
thousands of crows engaged in picking
up refuse thrown out of the restaurant
ear of the Strassburg express. The
birds were crushed in such numbers
that the engine wheels skidded, and
the train was temporarily stopped.

HORSE-SHOEING.
It should be remembered that horse shoeing is a
trade, the practice of which is on a living subject—
not on a block of wood, or a bar of Iron. How many
horseshoers know that a horses foot has a proper an
gle? I think I would be safe in saying a very few.
