Ovcrrencliing. In reply to nu inquiry In the New- York Timet, whether there whs nny rure for overronchlnir in lior8C9, the editor replies ns follows : "To prevent overreaching, wlilub. is the linblt of striking the lieel of the fore-foot with the toe of the hind foot when either trotting or witlklng,Bhorten the too and Increase the weight of the fore-shoes ; ako, hnve no eulks on them This enables the horse to pick up the fore-feet quickly and throw them out well In front ; and the absence of the heel calks prevents the striking of the hind toe upon them. The hind shoe should be made short in the toe." This reply is wholly contrary to our own ideas and experience. It is in fact just the reverse of the truth. The sug gestions will produce overreaching not cure it. How can increasing the weight of the front shoes cause the foot to be raised more quickly ; and If the shorten ing of the toe will have that effect, will not the shortening of the toe of the hind shoe counternctthla f Most as suredly. A sure way of removing this un pleas. ant fulling in the movement of a horse in a majority of cases, la to Bhorten the toe of the front shoes and lengthen the toe of the hind shoes. By this arrange ment the horse will pick up his forefeet quicker, and the hind feet slower, thus accomplishing just what is wanted. If a quarter of a second of time is thereby gained, the forefoot will be clear out of the way of the hind foot with its elon gated toe. We once owned a valuable horse once subject to overreaching. He was taken In hand by several experienced shoers, and every one adopted the erroneous method recommended by our New York contemporary. Being in the stable one day, we sat down upon a chair, after ex amiuing the shoes, to devise some way to cure the animal of this defect; and the conclusion we arrived at led to In- slstiing upon the shoer following our instructions, the result of which was a complete success. Now and then a new shoer would be aware of this overreach ing and would shoe in the old way, when the overreaching wa9 B9 bad ns ever, until the shoes were removed. We had another horse cured in the same way, as had at that tinio many other persons. Indeed, we have never known this method to fail when properly fol lowed. To Sweeten the Breath and Cleanse the Teeth. Always clean the teeth at night just before retiring, for particles of food collect between the teeth during the day, and if left their all night will decay, causing the breath to become offensive and also prove very injuries to the teeth. Scrub the teeth with a hard brush using little, if any soap ; sprinkle on a little powdered borax (one pinch will do) until the gums are hardened and become accustomed to it; rinse the mouth often with borax water ; It will prevent it from becoming sore or tender. If arti ficial teeth are worn, clctnise them thoroughly with borax, and when con venient let them remain in borax water every night If possible ;) it will purify them and help to sweeten the breath. The first thing to observe, in judg ing of a horse, so far as his back is con cerned is the length of it. A long back is a weak back the world ever, and in every Instance. By superior excellence of structure in other respects the weak ness of the back may be,in some measure made up ; but the horse can never be the horse he would have been had his back been a short one. We do not care how short a horse's back Is ; for it is a sure evidence that he can carry or drag a heavy weight a great distance and not tire; neither if he be speedy, will two or three seasons of turf experience break him down, as is the case with so many of our speedy, long backed horses. 42" Lice may be effectually extermin ated from poultry-houses by using suds of carbolic soft soap. The application should be made with a garden syringe. The suds penetrate every crack and crevice, and render whitewashing need less, except for appearance. Frozen plants, says the American Agriculturist, will often recover If taken to a room where the temperature is just above freezing, and allowed to thaw very gradually. The change to a very warm room would be very injurious. 3 Mr. Dalryinple, the great Minne sota farmer, cultivates 0,000 acres of land. lie raises nothing but wheat His profits this year will be $50,000.
