Tho greatest care is necessary to so shoe the horse that the relative posi tion of the leg to the foot in the nor mal state should be maintained, says an English veterinarian. Tho bearing of the shoe should bo level all around. If heel or toe, the inside or tho out side of the foot, were too high or low, the relationship of the limb or log was disturbed in fact, tho whole mechan ism of tho limb was thrown out of gear. Uueqnol pressure however slightly occasioned, would Buroly end in serious damage to the limb, nnd among tho frequent results of such treatment is permanent injury to the coffin bone. Contraction of tho heel, he maintained, was not an active dis ease, but a passive condition duo to the horse caning his feet so as to mini mize the pain felt at his heels from bad shoeing. Ho had little faith in mechanical arrangements for widening contracted heels. "Shoo tho horse," ho remarked, "so that tho bearing surfaco is properly maintained at the heel, and expansion will follow as a natural consequence." Now York World. CELERY. CTLTTVATIOy. Celery pjanted in bods or rows will need frequent cultivation. Tho culti vator run between the rows and tho use of the pronged hoe between the plants will be all tho cultivation needed. This work should be done once a week. Do not allow the ground to crust over. When the weather is hot and dry it will form a thick, hard crnst, which willstop all growth. Celery planted in beds will require still greater care. The narrow steel hoe or tho narrow celery rake will do rapid and first-class work in the hands of a competent man. Celery requires a large amount of moisture, and one way to get it is by frequent cultiva tion; the next is by giving the beds a generous watering. When the plants need water give an abundance. Water in the cool of the evening. A hose attached to a barrel drawn by a horse will qnickly put it off without much loss of water. When the small beds are to be watered, a watering can will be all that is needed. In the editor's experience watering once a week is enough. The long, green celery-worm that feeds on the leaves shonld bo cut in two with a pair of clippers. In the dry seasons they become very numer ous, and will seriously injure the plants if not taken in tiuio. The cel ery should not bo earthed np during hot weather. Keep the soil loose and tho plants growing. The middle of September is plenty early enough to give the first earthing np. Tho self- blanching celery will need tho earth drawn npto the plants about the 10th of September. This celery comes uio maruei in ine eany tall, it is quite delicate, and is hard to keep af ter it is once blanched. Baltimore American. WIXTEn DAIRYING. The chief aim in winter dairying, writes John Gould, of Ohio, iu the American Agriculturist, is to get all the milk possible between the lust of October and the first of the following June, and for that purpose the cows calvo as nearly as may be in Septem ber and up to tho first of November. I have unusual opportunities for selecting choice cows from the springer droves that are centered here for shipment to New York and I huadelphio, so if a cow goes wrong her place is supplied at once with a promising cow selected from hun dreds. The aim is to have the duiry of somewhat uniform size, and all must answer in full to the dairy form and type. When the cows come into the duiry they are given a little grain with soil ing crops, like sweet corn and millet, or oats and peas. I begin to etuble tho cows early, by the tenth of Oc tober certainly, and if there ii cold and disagreeable weather, such as is frequent "right off from the luke," they are kept in for two days, or un til tho weather is warm. A cow must uot be allowed to shrink in tho full, from either luck of feed or chilling rains. By the tenth of November the cows are practically iu winter quarters. nooui tuo iwcnuem me guos are opened, and, as a rule, from Thanks giving Duy the cows aro left in the btullb until Easter Sunday, often three or four weeks later, according to tho weather. The stable- is light, very ury, weli ventilated, never freezes, and tho cows uro tied in pairs with hultcrs in half box stalls, and in every way inude as comfortable as possible. As soon as the hubit of eating iu the fields c:in be changed to stublo life, the cows are put upon two fueds a duy, all that they will eat up clean, ana me rest oi ine duy or night is given to food digestion and assimila tion. This is found by fur the best method. Milking is tho first thing iu tho morning, then feeding. The food for tho cows consists of twenty-five pounds of good silage, two pounds of wheat "seconds," and usually a pound of oat dust ; if not tho latter some other grain to tho amount, making a total of three pounds for each of the best milkers, and a little less to the other. As soon as tho silage is eaten, a lock of hay, two or threo pounds for each, is put into tho mangers, and needed time given to eat it. About two hours after tho morning feed, tho cows are wntored. The water is in their manger.", and tho troughs are fitted with covers, eo that they caunot lift them up nt will, as it is not woll for tho cows to t:liO scvcnty-fivo pounds of water into their systems immedi ately after catiug, as they would do. The cows immediately after eating lie down and chew their cuds for an honr or more. Then they are watered and the troughs left open for the day, bo that any cow can drink as sheniay like after tho "first drink." Tho Btobles are cleaned in tho morning, and the trenches sirinklod with road dust and then partially filled with the fresh, long manure from tho horse stalls. This combination makes a good ab sorbent and doodorizer. At night af ter milking, the feeding is repeated, and when the cows are lookod after towards bedtime, the water troughs are again oponed for tho night, some dry sawdust is thrown along the heel planks, and tho stables aro shut up for the night. In building tho stable, while Tory economical in cost, the idea was to give cacU cow plenty of spaco, and so each cow has 610 cubic feet of stable. Another thing was tho avotdanoo of what might be termed "hothonso" conditions, and so Bnnshine was sought. It comes in on threo sides of tho stublo during the day. Tho tem perature of the stable is maintained as nearly as possible at forty-live degrees. Tho water is not warmed, but is kept in a close iron tank in the stable aud pumped every day from a deep rock well, and so does not vary much as it runs into the troughs from fifty de grees. Of course the cows have good beds of straw and are carded now and then, but they aro given enough free dom so that they can perform their own toilets fairly woll. I am not a believer iu the high feeding of con centrated grains. Tho individuality of the cow is a thing that is born with her to do a certain performance, nnd feeding to create a production beyond born individual capacity has never been accomplished exoept in a limited way, and thou has cost more than the returns from it were worth. The great horse Directum eats no more oats than a "plug," aud no amount of oats will get speed out of the latter. It is the same way with cows. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES, Nothing truer than that hogs like "roots." Don't forget to save the best Sold and garden seeds. If yon have no orchard set out at least a tew fruit trees. Commercial prosperity has much to do with the horse market. The sow should be left quiet a day or two after she has been served. Now get rid of all poor scrub ani mals beforo they eat thoir heads off. A very large litter of pigs is gener ally to their detriment in quality or sizo. It is suggested that sweet potatoes may be dried in the same manuer as fruit. It is not well to raise oolts and mules together, because the mules lord it over the former. Exercise will do the very little pigs good ; give them range as soon as they are able to toddle. As long as she will prove serviceable keep the sow which has proved herself to be a good mother. Extra fut sows will not breed so surely as when their systems are in a less feverish condition. Darkening tho rooms where nests are placed tends to prevent tho fowls from eatiug their eggs. A little honsy heated and dropped on bread is said to restore voice and strength to sick canaries. Destroy all poor and worthless fruit as soon as it fulls from the trees, or it will furnish a harbor for many insect enemies. Tick off the faded flowers and dead leaves from your plants, if for no other reason than that they injure the appearance of the plant. Much seed is wasted by letting it remain where grown after it is ripe by falling into the ground. And it is al ways the first and best that fulls. When only enough food is given to support life there can be no profit, as profit only comes from what is con sumed and appropriated above tho lifo sustaining point. Do not water newly-potted plants loo freely. It is best to give a liberal quantity of water at tho time of trans planting, aud then not water again ujtil new growth starts. Seed of tho nasturtium may bo sown at intervals throughout tho en tire year, thus giving new plants ut all times. They muke a very pretty plant for tho witidows. D'j not allow withered flowers to re main on tho plunts unless you wish tho seed. They should be picked as soon as they show signs of withering, us tuey are a great uram on tuo vi tality of the plunt. Huve the strawberry beds clean, oultivute well that a good vigorous growth may be mndo before the grouud freezes. Then bo ready tc cover lightly with marsh hay or other litter free from weed seeds. The garden plat should be cleared of ull weeds aud rubbish and plowed this full. If pluutud in rows it can be plowed in strips as the crop is bar vested auothf.r factor iu favor of planting iu rows rather than beds. IIOISKIIOLI) AFFAIRS. to cms an w.ack Rinnoxa.

New York World. THE SERVANT OF SMALL TtnNC.9. There is a prospect that, before wo are much older, nearly nil our house keeping will bo doue by machinery. Not only by special machines for spe cial purposos, but by great co-operative machinery for the whole house keeping. But tho faithful housekeeper is quite sure that there is one servant who will never be snpplauted thj servant of small things. Tho servant, paid or unpaid, who picks up the trilles every one else drops, and puts away the articles every one else for gets. The servant who carries up and down stairs odd cups and glasses and spoons ; who finds overshoes and slates and schoolbooks and hats ; who gathers tho scattered playthings and discovers tho misplaced book or sew ing ; who makes ready the chair and the footstool for the coming occu pant, nnd who takes up all the dropped stitches, moral and material, iu tho family life. There ma arise housekeeping ma chines, big and little, working with marvelous, skill and accuracy. But until a method is discovered of put ting a heart as well as hands iutc them, of giving them a soul as well as a body, it is ucrtaiu that the spherj of tho servant of small things c.ui never be perfectly filled by such con trivances.

About 1841 Lyell estimated the ago of the fnlls as 35,000 year. All of these esti mates were pure conjectures, but thoy were correct in nsHuming thot the Rorp.0 had been excavated by the river. rrofeasor 8pnncer, in out lining tho progress of tho falls, says that a little stream draining the Erie Basin onoe fell about 200 foot from tho brow of tho Ningnra escarpment. This stream was not over one-fourth the volume of the present cataract, and consequently excavated the gorge at a much slower rate than at present. During the early history of the river the waters of the three npper lakes emptied through tho Huron Basin by way of the Ottawa Hirer. The height of the falls has increased several times. Tho first episode, represented by a small river falling 200 feet, lasted 1 1,000 years. Then tho height of the falls was increased to 400 feet, and took the drainage of all the upper great lakes. At the same time there was a series of cascades, three in all, the lower gaining on the npper until finally they were all united in one great cataract, muoh higher than that of to-day. Httbseqnently the waters were raised at the head of Lake On tario, and the falls approximated to the preseut conditions after a lapse of 1000 years, and another 1000 years was probably oconpied by transitorial changes of a very gradual character. It is now 8000 years since Lake Huron emptied into Lake Erie for the first time. The land has risen about the outlet of Lake Eric, and if the present rate of change continues, in G000 or G000 year the waters of tho four lakes will bo turned into tho Mississippi River drainage at Chicago.

The other pictures are to undergo tho same attention. Trum bull's famous representation of tho siguing of tho Declaration of Inde pendence has been removed for re newal. Architect Clark of the Capi tol was givon charge of the work, aud placed it in tho hands of a specialist in Bnltimore.
