FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We invite comtnunicationsfrom attpcrsonswhoare
Iniv.tvxtcil in mutters properly belonging to this
dtUMftnient.
Horse Shoeing.
"We prcsumo there is no part of the
treat inent of the horse which is so impor
tant mid necessary to his usefulness as
the shoeing. Certainly not less than half
the liimcneses which ruin so many horses
is occasioned by the ignorance of tho
blacksmith.
For Fomctime tho U. S. Government,
recognizing this fact,has been in search of
a method of shoeing which could bo prac
ticed by any ordinarily intelligent black
smith, arid which should serve as a pro
tection (o the horses' feet iustcad of as
had been the case with the old lack of
system, doing the animal infinitely more
harm than good.
About a year ago, though tho influence
of JJ r. llobert Bonner, Mr. Alexander
Dunbar, a Canadian, who has devoted
the greater portion of his life to the study
of the horse, and particularly to a cor
rect method of shoeing, received a com
mission from the War Department, di
recting him to visit tho several military
posts in the country where horses were
employed, and instruct tho farriers
thereat iu his system.
So fully impressed was Mr. Bonner
with the excellence of Mr. Dunbar's meth
od of shoeing, that in his letters to tho
War Department, he states that had it
not been for his knowledge of tho benefits
to be derived therefrom, he would never
havo purchased tho celebrated Dexter,
whose feet, at tho time, were so contrac
ted, from ignorant shoeing, as to render
him quite lame.
Mr. Dunbar visited Carlisle Barracks
soon after the receipt of his commission
and at once applied his knowledge and
experience to the treatment of tho horses
there. In an incredibly short spaco of
time a marked improvement iu the con
dition of the animal's feet was observed
and up to tho present timo the system
has been practiced with the most grati
fying results. At Mr. Dunbar's depar
ture, Mr. John Kicrnan, a most skillful
farrier, was appointed to tho charge of
the instruction of tho farriers at the
post, and to havo general supervision of
the entire shoeing department. His suc
cess lias been so marked, that he has
been induced to publish a work, giving
his views and practice, which is destined
to become standard authority on the sub
ject. Carlisle Herald.
Make Tour Trees Branch Low.
Train your pear trees for garden or
field use, so that they will branch at a
distance of one or two feet from tho
ground. Tho advantages are easily enu
merated :
1st. It is easy to trim.
2d. It is easy to gather tho fruit.
3d. Falling fruit is little injured.
4th. All branches being sturdy, will
not bo strained by over-bearing or over
weight of fruit.
5th. Soil will bo kept shaded and
moist.
Gth Trunk will bo protected from the
scorching sun.
7 th Tree will grow moro an d moro
beautiful.
Washing Colored Fabrics.
" Before washing any colored fabrics,"
says tho Scientific American, " it is rec
omeuded to souk them for some timo in
water, to every gallon of which is added
a spoonful of ox-gall. A tea cup of lye
iu a pail of water is said to improve the
color of black goods when it is necessary
to wash them. A strong, clean tea of
common hay will preserve tho color of
French linens. Vinegar in tho rinsing
water for pink or green, will brighten
those colors, and soda answers tho same
end for the purple and blue."
Spots on Cornets.
A few drops of carbonate of ammonia
in a small quantity of rain water will, if
carefully applied remove spot3 on carpets,
whether produced by acids or alkalies.
Carpets injured by whitewash have been
perfectly restored by this simple recipe
Tho following cheap and sure des
truction to burdocks and other trouble
some plants is worth knowing : Cut
close to tho ground with a sharp hoe, and
apply a few drops of kerosene. The
plant so treated will never " put in ap-
Tho Potato Digger.
The Pittsburg Post gives the follow
ing account of the working of a Potato
Digger, which has been invented and
manufactured in that city :
It cleaned out a row at a time thorough
ly, lifting every potato and depositing it
on tho surface with case to the two horses
and driver, and neither checked nor clog
ged. It also thoroughly pulverizes the
soil and leaves it level. Another point
is its permanent and substantial construc
tion and great simplicity. There is noth
ing about it to get out of repair, and it is
easily handled and propelled as an ordi
nary plow. The forward part resembles
somewhat a flatish tooth shovel plow.
Tho rear attachment is a series of iron
slats, made to lower or fall, according to
tho depth of the furrow. These slat3 are
nicdo to vibrate vertically, somewhat like
the shaking of a windmill. This is
done by an agitator wheel, which rotates
as the digger advances, and by an in
genious, though simplo attachment,
keeps these shits agitated, thoroughly
sifting tho dirt from the potatoes. I do
not design a mechanical description, as
tho best test of a theory is its practical
results, and adopting this rule, no fur
ther notice is needed, as all who havo
seen it tried verify. It is sold on its
merits, and- warranted to work for the
low price of sixteen dollars, and is hav
ing a rapid introduction. Mr. Hall can
bo addressed at Pittsburg, ox the digger
can be seen at S. Hare & Son's, 129
Liberty street, who are agents for its
sale.

This medicine increases tho power of diges

II. T. Helmbold, Druggitt :
Dear. Sin I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney aucciions, during which time 1 have used
various medicinal preparations, aud been uuder
tho treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen- your preparations extensively
advertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian iu regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did tliis because I bad used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless I kuew of tho
Ingredients. It was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of buchu, cubebs, and juniper
berries, It occurred to mo and my physician as
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which timo I was confined to my room.
From the first bottle I was astonished and grat
ified at tho beneficial effect, aud after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing yon a full statement of my caso at
the time, but thought my Improvement might
only bo temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and seo if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of moro value to you,
and more satisfactory to mo.
I am now able to report that a cure is effect
ed after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months,
and feel as well iu all respects as I over did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nico touic and invigorator of
the system, I do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may requlro Its use in such
affections.
