The L eccssity of the most careful shoeing flooded horses has been shown in the or iesd through which Dexter has just passed, .3 king of the turf, whose feet during the T Lave been badly derangcdby hoof con tractions, which have just been satisfactorily overcome. The proper shoeing of horses is a matter of great importance in all cases, but in those del . ate hoofed high blooded trotters, it be comes a vital question both for speed and crntf rt. Mr. Bonner is so particular about the manner in which his horses are shod, that he always superintends the operation himself, remaining in the shop during the fit : fig and nailing of the shoes, both of which • '.'.lis he not ODIV directs but even assists in personally. As the perfect ilatnes3 of the shoe is neces sary to easy and comfortable stepping, Mr. Bonner has procured a smooth and flat block of marble, upon whose surface he places every shoe, before it is nailed to the horse's hoof, and if the iron does not lie plumb on the stone, it is hammered and filed until a thoroughly level surface is obtained. He has also a theory about fastening a shoe. He makes the smith hammer the nails alternately on each ride, stroke for stroke, nail by nail, left and right, so that the tightening of the shoe to the hoof is gradual and equal on both sides. He also has the "hanks of the shoe stretched but litile wider than the hoof: and BJ this system of driving the nails, the toot is brought to the shoe, and the frog and heel are expanded in the operation. — The result is highly conducive to the soundness and tough ness of the hoof end the freedom and firmness of step in the animal. FARMING MADE EASY. Farmers who can remember forty years ago must be somewhat amazed at the progress N.U.DE in agricultural implements and the la bor of the farm. Only think of a wooden mould-board for the plow! the common tooth harrow, the hayshelvings made of fence-rails for a cart and the wide, dangerous skeleton for the wagon; the hoe that was used, the two-pronged manure fork, and the whiskey consumed by harvest hands! The reapers W.th their sickles, with which we nearly sever ed a finger, and the mark of the wound is as distinct to day as then; the innovating "era. die with its grand swing; the old rigid horse rake, then a novelty, and the old log roller, which not more than one farmer IN] twenty eouid boast of; the lumbering grain lan, Ac. Now we have everything on a different scale, relieving the agricultural muscle from many a strain. e commence with the rea ping machine, taken many years to perfect it. then the mowing machine, which was a greater curiosity; then the combined mower AND reaper; then the power thresher; then the combined thresher and winnower; then .he revolving horse-rake, each allowing the Iriier to ride, almost like a jockey; then the ■ '■Tse power hay fork; then the hay tedder. The OID harrow gave way to the "cultivator,'' and that to several improvements until we have the "sulkey cultivator," which furnishes a comfartable seat for the drive rand the work is better done. The next innovation must be a 5 IW with similar accommadation to be guided and managed with a lever. !■ arming is becoming a great science, and more and more every year men are being C .uca.EJ up to it. Land for cultivation is lull taree times more valuable now than forty years ago; the operations are conducted with aoout one halt the labor and at more than twice the cost, while the products command in .TIE public markets, in mjst articles, about three times us much. I nere is no more beautiful sight than a large farm conducted in the best manner. To see cattle, sheep and swine in one direction, fine horses in another, great fields of waving gram, an . of growing corn, and others cano p., d wi.h close masses of nutritions herbage for the support of animal Tife, ought to be sufficient to stir up the mind in silent thank dness to the Great Giver of all good and 1 -feet gifts, and to elevate in all the nobility ■ vrandeur the first and chief calling of humanity, ' AN F'T-M FOR FRUIT GROWERS. .. s ays thatheoncc witnessed of a r,. . - V 86 P r °duced on the body The tree ,; ; ';; , Y O F wrapping it in straw, seven f„ef \■ i Beurre, grafted about which for yefrs hIT THEGRONND - U P ON A BTOCK the aril 'Vh- not £ rOWll as rapidly as in sGaw „} !' 3 3TNAILER P ORTION was encased ° k e * and at the the straw that the & *** on removing STV'R H * A ■WIR,SRX?'S grat i above, presenting but a slight indica tion of the point of union between the graft slock - This is an item of interest, and '•■ any tree growers who have trees with con tracted stems evidence of some natural want of affinity with the graft may find in it a hint SFFSUCK, W ; U ™, wrapping the stem of MoreUo cherries, when worked at a height of two or three feet with the free growing or sweet varieties, with moss, and thus keep them swelling regularly with the growth of the graft for years.—[ Hor ticulturist.

WE are not to suppose that the oak wants stability because it 3 light and changeable leaves dance to the music of the breeze, nor to conclude that a man wants stability and strength of mind because he may exhibit an occasional playfulness and levity. A Clergyman, who was sadly annoyed by incessant coughing among his congregation, paused in his discourse and remarked that "if ladies would wear their bonnets on their beads, and tie the strings, coughs would not be so prevalent:" THE following may be set down as one of the best jokes of the season: Baptist Brother—l don't like your church government. It isn't simple enough. There's too much machinery about it. Methodist Brother —It is true, we have more machinery than you; but then, you see, it don't take near so much water to run it. 'iNancy," said a girl to her companion, "which railroad train do you like the best?" "That one," replied Nancy, "which furn ishes a spark catcher." A well known physician used to say that roast beef, serenity of mind, cold water baths "IT is dangerous to be working with a sew ing machine near a window in a thunder storm." Jinks says he has found it dangerous to sit near some sewing machines when there is no thunder storm. "WHAT'S the matter, my dear?" said a wife to her husband, who had sat for half an hour with his face buried in his hands, ap parently in great tribulation. "Oh! I don't know," said he; "I have felt like a fool all day." "Well, replied the wife, consolingly, "I am afraid you will never get any better ; you look the very picture of what you feel. THE late Rev. Dr. Sutton, vicar of Shef field, once said to the late Mr. Peech, a vet erinary surgeon : "Mr. Feech, how is it that you have not called upon me for your ac count?" "Oh," said Mr. Peech, "I never ask a gentleman for money." "Indeed!" said the vicar; "then how do you get on if he don't pay ?" "Why," replied Mr. Peech "af ter a certain time I conclude that he's not a gentleman, and then I ask him." A girl who had become tired of single bles sedness thus wrote to her intended husband; "Dear Bill: Come right off, if you're com ing at all; Edward Kelderman is insistin' that I shall have him, and he hugs and kisses me so continually that I can't hold out much lon ger."

Ax Irish glazier was putting in a pane of glass, when a groom standing by began jok ing him, telling him to put in plenty of putty. The Irishman bore the banner for some time but at last silenced his tormentor by, "Arrah now, be off wid ye, or else I'll put a pain in yer head without any putty." LEAVING OFF SCHNAPPS. —" Veil den, Hon ness, I tell you how you do.

"I like to attend weddings," said Mrs. Partington, as she came back from one in church, hung her shawl up, and replaced the black bonnet in the long-preserved bandbox; "I like to see young people come together with the promise of love—cherish and nour ish each other. But what a solemn thing is matrimony—a very solemn thing, where the minister comes into chancery with surplus, and goes through the ceremony of making them man and wife. It ought to be husband and wife, for it isn't every husband that turns out to be a man. I declare I never shall forget when Paul put the nuptial ring on my finger, and said, 'with worldly goods I thee endow.' He used to keep a dry goods store then, and I thought he was going to give me the whole there was in it. I was young and simple and did not know, till af terwards, that it meant one calico gown a year. It is a lovely sight to see young people 'plighting their trough,' as the song says, and coming up to consume their vows." - l. 17 LECTIO MEDICAL COLLEGE OF 1-4 PENNSYLVANIA.
