she kicked the pole so violently that it
flew off its fastenings and struck him
on the forehead. He lived but a short
time after and was unconscious from
the time of receiving the blow. It is
deemed singular that the pole should
have had force enough to kill him, and
only from the fact that it was struck
about the centre of it, and the rebound
supposed to have been great, can the
fatal accident be accounted for. Ho

The Old Rtorj .
The morning sunlight looked in
through the silken curtains, lighting
the room as with an angel's smile,
suddently enveloping the face of its oc
cupant with a strange brightness and
transforming her pale brown hair into
waves of glistening gold. Said the sun
light: "Maiden, I missed you from
the garden where I used to find you
every morning, and I came here to
seek you. Summer will soon be here
with "her roses, almost as bright as
your cheeks. Are you ill ?" "O, no!"
responded the maiden, warming her
thin, bloodless hands in the sunbeam,
"only a little weak ; I shall soon be
out in the garden to greet you—to
morrow perhaps ! I was just planning
how I should arrange my flowers this
year, when you peeped in. Are my lil
lies up yet?" "Yes your lillies are up;
I have just been warming them. I
have tired you" said the sunlight, as
he noticed the wearily drooping eye
lids; "I will come again to-morrow if
you are not in the garden"—and
silently withdrew, leaving the fair
slumberer alone in the g'oom. A few
hours later the moonlight stole softly
through the silken curtains, which
were gently rustling in the night
breeze. "How cold!" said the moon
light, as she touched the pallid brow,
and then gently laid her band on the
pulseless heart. "Dead !" she shudder
ingly whispered, as she withdrew
through the softly rustling curtains. It
is the old, old story of consumption.
How she flatters her victims at morn
ing with hope's honied words, and at
evening makes her the prey of the
spoiler! Statistics show that one-third
of mankind die of this disease, and of
these, far the greater part are young
persons between the ages of fifteen and
twenty-five, iu the dawn of manhood
and womanhood. For many years,
consumption was generally believed
to be incurable. But medicine in her
triumphant march against disease has
already added consumption to her list
of conquered. Dr. Pic. J'S Golden
Medical Discovery cures this dread
disease if resorted to in time. For a
full consideration of this disease and
its rational method of treatment, read

For the BUTLER CITIZEN,
Driving tho Horse Shoe.
The first step in the driving of a
shoe, is to remove the old one, if there
be any on, and too often there is not;
as people generally leave them on till
they come off before they think of hav
ing their horse shod. I have taken off
shoes that had been on seven months.
Leaving shoes on too long is produc
tive of bruised sole. To take off a shoe
properly, the clinches should be all cut
and if the nail heads are to deep to be
caught by the nippers, the nail should
be driven back with a small punch no
larger than the nail ; then draw each
nail with the nippers* not as is
generally done, one side of the shoe
torn off at a time with a large pair of
pincers, bruising the sole and causing
the horse to jerk loose from the smith;
great injuries have been done in this
way, besides learning the horse a bad
habit, for I have seen horses so afraid
from being hurt in this way that you
dare not put the pincers under the shoe
at all.
Next comes the pareing of the foot.
This requires good judgment on the
part of the shoer, as there is hardly
two feet that requires the same treat
ment. There is a given line in which
the feet should come to the ground
The foot should be pared with an eye
to this. Never cut away the sole,
most especially on flat feet. I don't
like the hoof knife on that account; it
is so well adapted to pareing out the
sole and bars and so little use to take
down the wall. The frog should not
be cut away as a rule.
Next in order is the fitting of the
shoe. As there are not many hand
made shoes used now we will begin
with the dressing of the shoe, which
in my opinion begins with welding on
the toe calk, the length of which
should be in proportion to the size of
the shoe and never more than live
eighths of an inch high, set on the
shoe and not beside it. The toe calk
should stand up square with the shoe.
It is an advantage to traveling horses
to set the toe calk back from tho edge
of the shoe as it relieves the strain on
the tendons of raising over the extreme
point of the foot. Toe clips are an ad
vantage to any shoe and not injurious
to the hoof as is sometimes thought.
Shoes should be swedged so that the
nail holes on the foot surface would be
from one-fourth to three-eights of an
inch in from the edge of the shoe, ac
cording to the heft of the hoof, as their
swedging splits off the hoof. Nail
holes should be punched with a small
tapered punch which packs the iron
around the hole and gives the nail a
better bearing, not with a large blunt
ended punch which tears a large hole
through and leaves the nails no bear
ing except the under edtresof the head.
The nail should drive tight in the hole,
as loose nails weur out the holes.
Nail holes should be punched with a
slope equal to that of the foot, the
front ones most and each nail back
with less. Next, the fitting, which,
like the pareing, depends on the foot
as to how it should be done. The
shoe should rest on the wall of the
foot, but there are cases of deformed
feet in which this will not apply; in
these cases good judgment is the all
important point. Next the shoe should
be as long as the foot and no longer.
The heal calks should be as high as
the toe or higher, never lower; in
fact I think the foot should be as close
to the ground as possible, little or no
calks at all. The shoe should be level
on the foot surfrce, not as many fit
them with a couvex bearing so that
1 the shoe rests on the toe and heel and
then draw it down with the nails. A
horse will not travel easy shod in this
| way. Raising the shoe off the heels
' is good in some cases, but I prefer a
i bare shoe in such cases. The shoe
should not be burned into the foot as
it injures it very much, although with
the shoe a little warm the feet can be
better leveled.
Next comes the driving. This I
commence by driving the second nail
from the toe on the right hand side,
the nail opposite next; then nail to
best advantage, as a shoe can be
shifted by driving a nail. The nails
should be dressed so as to drive
straight from the bottom of the nail
hole in the shoe to the surface of tl e
wall, one inch above the shoe, or bet
ter less than more. Nails should not
be drove in a curve, as the nails act
as a lever when the clinch is drawn to
prize off pieces of the hoof. Nails
should be driven slowly, not as if the
smiths whole aim in life was to send
it home at two or three strikes. As a
nail may be set wrong by the best of
shoers, it would not so much harm
under a light stroke, where it might
ruin a horse under a heavy blow. It
is seldom that too light a nail is used ;
a nails width at the clinch should be
three times its thickness and thicker,
but not wider at the neck. As to the
head of a nail it is owing to the
swedging and the holes in the shoe as
to its size and shape. The rasp should
be run lightly under the clinch before
drawing the nails. There is about as
much in settling the nails light in the
shoe as in drawing the clinch tight.
Now comes the finishing touch.
The rasp should not be used too much
under the clinch, and the missing of
the nail and cutting the hoof with the
hammer is equally bad. Of course if
the shoe is properly set on the wall of
the foot, there will not be much hoof
to file away, and the less the better.
The clinches should be rasped off level
with the hoof, never rasp the foot
above the clinches, then if there was
some castile soap rubbed over the foot
to keep out the wet and air the job
might be called finished. Providing
you don't get a roast.

THE BEST REMEDY
FOR
Diseases of the Throat M Lungs.
rvW In diseases of the pnl-
X LnO monarv organs a safe
y gjgvJsVtoi and reliable remedy is
' Ylj invaluable. ATEE'S
U\ CHERRY PECTORAL is
\ such a remedy, and no
othersoeminently mer
its the confidence of
the public. It is a sei
entinc combination of
fTHFRTyr* the medicinal princi
viiCiiuii plea and curative vir
n r tues of the finest drugs,
chemically united, of
1 rM'f sueli power as to insure
iA> IIW the greatest possible
jf/'M efficiency and uniform-
Dr/*TADDT ity of results. Itstrikes
lE.V 1 V/Krilj. at the foundation of all
pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief
and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of AYER'S CHERRY PEC
TORAL are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its
timely and faithful use. It should be kept
at hand in every household for the pro
tection it affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping-cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so efficacious,
soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try some of
the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap
and ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which, as they contain no curative qualities,
can afford only temporary relief, and are
sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.
Diseases of the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treatment; and it is dan
gerous ex)>eriii>enting with unknown and
cheap medicines, from the great liability that
these diseases may, while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYER'S CHERRY PF.CTORAL, and yon may
confidently exjx'ct the best results. It is a
standard medical preparation, of known and
acknowledged curative power, and is as
cheap as its careful preparation and fine
ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians,
knowing its composition, present*) it in tbeir
practice. The test of half a century has
proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul
monary complaints not already beyond the
reach of human aid.
