How It Is Done. ^.The method employed by the ad ministration to get Eepublican postmasters ,out to make room for Democrats is working with unerr ing precision. A Bpecial agent.iS sent around, who reports in favor of Bemovals, on what ground no- body knows, Thereportsareheld at Washington, and it does not ap-. pear that even the victim is in formed of the teasons; for his re moval or given a chance to mak.e answer. This would be the nat ural prrceeding where' charges ate looked up, as haB dees done :in some instances. As a matter of fact, no charges are Really neces sary-under this form of manipula tion. If inquiry is made, the De partment merely explains that the removal was Made upon the recom mendation of a special agent and that the reasons are confidential. The worst criminals are given an opportunity under the national and State Constitutions to answer what ever charges are brought against them, but Kepublican: postmasters under the sdoils method of the present Administration are given no pach chance.

March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ I 00 SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ 50 THREE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY, FEB. 4, 1914. WANTED—Men of marriageable age to locate in Mocksville. The fields are white unto the harvest, but the laborers are few. Mocksville has at least one thing to be proud or ashamed of—she has more bull dogs than any town of her size in the United States. Secretary Daniels says he wants a bigger navy. What do we need with a bigger navy when we are howling peace all the time and are afraid to use what navy we have. We notice that one hundred thousand dollars is going to be spent in North Carolina to further along the Koman Catholic cause. This will be good news to Secretary Tumulty. There has been some talk of a new bank in Mocksville. We may need a new bank—but what we need now worse than anything else is some thing to put in the bank we already have. But let her come. An editor don,’t know what a mean fellow he is until he goes out to land a job. Take our friend Hammer, of The Asheboro Courier, for instance. He was a pretty good fellow until he started out after a big slice of pie. A damage suit will be filed against the next man who makes remarks about how ugly our old maids are. The town could not get along with out them, and they are not near so ugly as our old backelors. Strangers coming to town will take notice and be governed accordingly. And now the Winston Journal says ■they don’t remember of ever having taken any news out of The Record with or without credit, and says they have a gentleman who furnishes the news from Mocksville for The Journ al. The gentleman in question must be one of The Record’s subscribers, or borrows his neighbors paper, for practically every item in TheJourUal under the Mocksville date line was captured from our paper. The Journal is welcome to anything it wants that The Record has, except a jug of locust beer. In the Republican county conven tion of 1912 we tried to get a resolu tion passed that would forever barr a man from holding a place at the pie counter for more than two terms in Davie county. Of course our re solution was killed as dead as heck. But the time is coming soon when a resolution ,will go through thecon- vention same as a duck swimming through a pond of water. Most; of our county officers have served-from four to twelve years, and many vot ers think it is time for new men to be selected. The gentlemen holding the most renumerative offices have said openly that they would not run again, and they are men that will do as they say. Good men should be selected to take their places when the proper time comes. We hope by the end ®f this year to have impressed upon our readers the fact that The Record is one dol lar per year: Ever® day or two some one writes us a letter or rails at our office and says that we may send them the paper a year if we will send it for- 50 cents. We are not sending the paper to any one for less than $1, and we do not propose §to, for we cannot afford, to borrow money to run a county paper to boost the men, the town and the county that is too close-fisted to pay two cents a week for the paper—the only newspaper printed in the county. Of course we will lose some subscribers —we figured on that. But what is our loss will be some one else’s gain. The papers in other counties will catch what we lose. We don’t want an® man to take our paper who thinks it is not worth two cents a wegk, or $1 per year. We can get along better without them than they can without us. We mean no offense what ever to anyone, but the above is written for the sole purpose of saving us the time and trouble of writing, letters and explaining that The Record is $1 per year instead of 50 cents. Davie-Forsyth Bridge. Winston Sentinel, Jan. 27th. Next Monday is the regular month ly meeting of the board of county commissioners, and the session - will be an important one. While the commissioners will not have a regular day for ^ppening of bids for the construction of the new steel bridgeat Hail’s Ferry across the Yadkin, all bids are expected to be in by that date. The plans and specifications have been in the hands of the bridge companies for several weeks and during the past few days several engineers from different firms have been in the city for the purpose of looking over the site, and securing additional data with reference to the construction of the proposed bridge. It is stated that the commissioners will not have a regular “opening day” on which the representatives of the companies desiring to bid on the bridge will be invited to attend, but that when all bids are. in the bocrd will take the matter up and award the contract. The county has already selected the plans and speci fications for the bridge and the mat ter now to be considered to the best price and ability of the concern bid ding to complete the construction to the satisfaction of the commiss ioners and the engineer, selected to receive the bridge upon its com pletion.

Why It Costs More. Newton is the cheapest place to live in the State, when you take into considera tion that we have water, electric lights, paved sidewalks, graded school, a college, etc., but expenses here are about double to what they used to be—Why? There are eight or ten horses to be fed to deliv er our goods that we used to carry home ourselves; eight or ten men to pay to drive these horses; and the wagons to be paid for and kept up. Three or four dol lars per month for electric lights instead of 25 or 50 cents for oil. Water bills to pay instead of drawing it out of wells. Fifty cents used to buy five pounds of steak. Now you can “poke” fifty cents worth of steak through a key hole of your kitchen door, because it costs the meat man 20 or 30 cents to deliver it at the kitchen door. We used to tell our merchant what we wanted in person, now we spend one. dollar a month to tell what we want and he spends two dollars to tell us whether he has the goods or not. Thus we might go on and show how the expenses have multiplied.—Catawba County News. New Tariff Bearing Fruit. Over two thousandj>f the girl ho siery workers from the mills of Wil liam F.

J., today The girls claim the strike was caused because the Taubel firm reduced the wages two cents a dozen on all knit poods. This made a difference in each girl’s pay of between one and two dollars each week. The manu facturers claim the reduction was made necessary by the new tariff, and told the strikers they would have to help the manufacturers car ry the burden. CASTOR IA for Infants and Children.

WEDNESDAY. .FEBRUARY 11. 1914.NUMBER 32 . jSAYS PRESIDENT HARRISON OF SOUTHERN IN FIRST PUBLIC ADDRESS. MONEY REMAINS IN SOUTH New President of Southern Analyzes I Intimate Relation of Company i to People Served. i Chattanooga, Tenfi.-Speaking at the annual banquet of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Fairfax !Harrison, the new president of the !Southern Railway company, made (what may be considered his first pub lic declaration, since his election . to succeed the late Mr. W. W. Finley. |Mr. Harrison said : i The Southern Railway System in cludes 10,000 miles of railroad on which 59,000 officers and employees Si M Pairfax Harrison, President Southern Railway perform public services, in return for Which more than one hundred millions iof annual revenue is" collected. These are big figures and, in a country in Which there has. always been a pride in big things, in which every commun ity has been wont to boast of that !which it has which is the biggest, such big thing as the Southern Railway lystem should be, and I believe is, p. source of pride to the South, but pxactly in proportion as it is big also in its public service and faithful in Its public trust The administration jof such a vast machine, affecting, as it lfloes, the comfort and well being of the people of a large territory, is, therefore, itself a large public service. .The time has passed when it-might be exploited for merely private and Selfish ends. The lawyers used to tell us that a railroad was a quasi public institution, but today, happily, it might better be described as a quasi private institution. It is private still In the opportunity it presents for the exercise of individual initiative and Competitive service, but in practically, every-other sense it is now recognized Jhat it is public. It is a matter of sincere regret to every railroad manager that railroad securities are not more generally held, directly and immediately, in the com munities which ,the railroads serve. The lack of such holding deprives him of. a "powerful-. and sympathetic ally In the'relation of public opinion to his problems.- ; The time was when the rail road stocks were owned-immediately and by the people who were shaping public opin- .d stocks honor popular imagination, ti.3 generic name of “Wall Street” We read in maga zines and newspapers of the romantic lives attributed to a few individuals who are supposed to “control” the destinies of whole communities by pos session and exploitation of the instru ments upon which such communi ties depend for their necessary trans portation, who “fix" rates and arbi trarily determine conditions of serv ice, and so “tax” the people they ought to serve, withdrawing money earned in the sweat of the brow from the com munities where it is earned, to be dissi pated at a distance in extravagant fol lies. Such a vision is hot the result of pure imagination—it has had un fortunately its foundation of justifica-! tion in a few conspicuous instances which leap to the lips of everyone who. discusses our present-day industrial' problems; but every intelligent man knows that it is no longer, if it ever was, the rule. In considering such lamentable indi-' vidual cases, the public, when forming its potent judgment on the present sit-, uation of the railway industry, must recognize them as the unhappy excep-; tions they are. To him who.insists that the railroads should be judged by their black sheep, it is fair in answer to invite attention to many exemplars- of high-minded Integrity in the ad-; ministration of railroad property. We, ih the South can cite shining examples' of such rectitude. I may be forgiven: a proud reference to my late chief,' William Wilson Finley, whose oppor-j tunities were Tiot less than those of; any of the flagrant individuals to! whom allusion has been made, but who after years of devotion to a public duty and the practice of - a largs - private charity, left an estate, flip which, as announced press, is at once a cei did character and an ill: just administration. One them can aaa LU LUV same two more executives of railroads In the South who have recently gone to the grave—Thomas M. Emerson and John W. Thomas, Jr. Despite the holding of railroad stock outside of the territories the railroads serve, and despite the aberrations from integrity in the administration of some particular railroads, I believe th a t- I am not claiming too much When I as sert that such has been the develop ment of the recognition in recent years of the~public nature and responsibility of the administration of the railroads, and such have been the practical, con sequences of that recognition, that tx> day in every essential a railroad be longs to the communities it serves. In this aspect and in a very real sense the Southern Railroad belongs to the people of the South. It is not only their highway to market, but its fiscal operations are part of the life of the communities along its lines. At some risk of trespass upon your attention, I venture to support this claim with a brief argument from sta tistics. They record a condition which- is astonishing and I confess astonish ed me when I saw how far they go along the lines of a tendency which I knew to obtain. Of the one hundred and three millions of annual revenue collected last year by the railways in cluded in the Southern Railway Sys tem, there was immediately paid out again along its lines at least seventy- six millions, an amount not far short of the total collections from the peo ple of- the South: for approximately twenty-two millions of the total reve nues were collected from people out side of the Southeastern States—a fact not often taken into considera tion, the explanation of which is that an appreciable part of the passenger traffic of the system consists of the transportation of residents of other localities traveling in the South, and, furthermore, that to a large extent freight charges on Southern products shipped to other localities are paid by the consignees. What then becomes of these great revenues collected in the South? Are they hurried away to some cavern in Wail street? No, The fact is that all the moneys collected in the South are deposited in Southern banks which are drawn upon from time to time only as funds are . needed for proper, fiscal purposes. The funds of the sys tem thus-become an important factor in strengthening the banks of the ter ritory and so are at all times at the service of the Southern people. I have-said that these funds are withdrawn from Southern banks from time-to time only as needed for proper fiscal , purposes, but even in that opera tion,.to a large extent the moneys, col lected-for. transportation -service on our lines are not vrithdra,wn at all from Aithem communities In. which penses required 6.09 cents, all spent in the South. Taxes, all paid In the. South, required 3.65 cents. Interest,' rentals and other miscellaneous pay ments accounted for 20.83- cents, and the holders of the company’s prefer red stock received 4.42 cents. It is un fortunately impracticable to determine the proportion of interest and divi dends paid to Southern owners of Southern railway securities. I wish it was all paid to Southern people; but, leaving these entirely out of ae- couht, it is seen" that at least 70.57 cents out of every dollar expended by the Southern Railway remains in or is brought into the South. It may. be add ed that these figures do not take ac count of expenditures for additions and betterments amounting last year to three millions and a half and in ten years to twenty-seven millions of which the major part, expended on roadway and structures, was practical Iy all paid out along the line of tht road. .We may then take it as es tablished that what the Southern peo ple pay the Southera Railway lines for transportation remains a part of the working capital of the Southern peo ple; but it is interesting to pursue the thought a step further to a reali zation of what these disbursements by the Southern Railway in the South mean in the life and growth of the Southern people. Of the total of sev enty-six millions paid out along the •Southern Railway lines last year ap proximately forty-three million dollars ■went to the army of 59,000 employees ! and thus, on the conventional basis of 'i five to a family, directly supported about 295,000 Southern people, or about six and one-half times the pop ulation of Chattanooga at the date Of 1 the last census. I I have spoken of. our preferred stockholders, but the real preferred stockholders of the -Southern Rail way System, In the matter of priority of claim ,are- the political govern ments of the States, counties, and cities along its lines. Their claim upon railroad revenues comes ahead even of that of employees, and they took $3,743,704.39 in the last fiscal year. It is hard to grasp the signifi cance of figures as large as th is: what our tax payments really mean to the communities along our lines can be better understood by an illus trative analysis of our payments on account of school taxes and road and bridge taxes in the southern states: In 1912, <our schooT taxes in these states amounted to something over $800,000, or an average of twenty- eight hundred dollars for each coun ty traversed by our lines. At the av erage annual compensation of school teachers in the Southern States as reported by the United States Bureau of Education, this would more than pay for- ten teachers in each county. It represents $2.64 out of every $100 of school taxes paid in these States and amounts' to fifteen dollars for each school building in • the States traversed by our lines. Every dollar paid to the Southern Railway for transportation charges'; thus includes a substantial contribution to the maintenance of the system of public education In the South. . PaymentsJiy the Southern Railway System in the same year of taxes di rectly assessed for public roads and bridges amounted to $447,966.63, or ah average of $1,571.81 for each coun ty along our lines Every dollar paid to the Southern Railway for transpor tation charges thus includes also a substantial contribution to the main tenance of the public highways of the •South and is an indirect but none the less -real public support of the pro gressive movement for good and bet- ter_roads. I have referred to the impractica bility of determining the amounts of interest and dividends paid to . hold ers of securities living along the line of the road. - We know,'however, that a large percentage of our population have a very real though indirect per sonal interest in' these securities even though they may never have seen a railroad bond or stock certificate. There are few families.,in the South who do not hold an insurance policy of -Bdme sort; either an assiurance on life or against the risk of fire. The. invested funds of the-great insurance companies Are, therefore, matter \o f vital concern to the Southern people, and In large measure, are their owife assets held In trust for their benefit We find that the. chief i nsurance com panies-,,rePOSrtheir^holdlng of securi ties of We Southern Railway.System,, includinjl terminal bonds on.,.which the Southerns is a joint guarantor, aggre gating hnore than eighty million dol lars. IrfVtKat great fund, the integri ty of WlAich dcpen£|^mpn the con tinued soKren;Wayrlinesa Tfvital ml has been devoted to the interests of the South. - Its officers are mostly Southern-born men and those who were not born in the South have been here ’ long enough to become Identified with our interests, our pe culiarities, our responsibilities, our prejudices, and our aspirations as a people; they—talk the same language as the people of the South. I look forward to the time when there may be more Southern men sitting on our Board of Directors, where I know that they will be welcome. As an organization then, the South ern' Railway, with full appreciation of, and acquiescence In, the present tendency of public sentiment as to what a railway is and 'should be, stands pledged to the Southern peo ple, and is proud to declare itself one of their own institutions. As such it Invites the Southern people to help it to become more and more their efficient servant and aT the same time the object of their pride and. af fection. They need have no fear of its future if . it has their confidence. I trust you will permit me to take this occasion to say finally a word of a personal nature: I believe in the South and. our Southern people With all my heart and soul. I have given most of the' years of my manhood to an earnest, though subordinate, part in an effort to realize a high pur pose of promoting the regeneration, through industry, of the prosperity of this our beloved motherland. . L- have not known In’ my own experi ence the horrors either of the military conflict which left our people prostrate, or of the dreary years of political-disability and atrophied am bition which followed that great war between the States, in one - of the chief theaters of which we are to night, but -1 know :the bitterness of these things in the. tradition of my Immediate family, and I have learned from my parents that there can be no higher -aspiration-than to be a part In the ^realization of the' ideals of our Soutiierh people. Facing the future, I have then Medicated my life to -that duty and to identification with the Southern people. Many others have done and are Molng this and I am proud- to be of the company which has accomplished, through coopers^ tion and. sustained effort, so much ln the T ast' quarter of M century. I am humbly grateful for the wel come the South has:given me to my new opportunity for its service. It has been such a welcome as you have given me tonight, cordial and with every evidence-of good Will. My hope is to JuBtify-Jhis to those who allow me their confidence, who are willing to believe that if we some times fail it will not; be through lack of good intention or' desire to do our duty as .wev conceive i t I have no sense of personal elation, in the reali zation. today::of an ambition cherished ever since , j entered'the service of the Southern Railway Company 17 years ago. I feel most' a sobering sense of a heaUy responsibility, but I do not fear the eventvl have served under two great men,'Samuel Spencer, and Wil liam Wilson Finloy, both men of action, eager to accomplish, conscious al ways of the imperious summons of today, and of the warning of Eccle siastes: “Whatsoever thy hand find- eth to do,'do it with thy might” I have known7 that before all they were patriotic men, faithful to the South, and with their example and their ideals ’before me my hope now is r SO to carry on their work as to gain the kind of ; public esteem they earned and to aid -in building for the future, as they , built not only the Southern Railway, but the-1 South itself. In this high endeavor, I am one of you, my fellow-countrymen, who are simi larly engaged, and: I appeal to you as co-workers for aid and co-opera tion. Too Strong for Some of Them.

HENDRICKS,' Admr. C.T.A. Amanda Hendricks, dec'sd. I Per A. T. Grant, Jr., Attorney. Kn William WiUon KriaUv The Board of Directors of Southern Railway Company having assembled In speefal meeting this first day of De* cember, 1913, and being advised of the death, at his home In W ashington on' November 25, 1913, of William Wilson Finley, for the past seven years' President of Southern Railway Company, adopts the folloVrtng- minute to be spread on the records of the Company and to be published In the newspapers of the South. WILLIAM WILSON FINLEY was bom at Pass Christian, Mississippi, on September 2, -1858, and en tered railway service in New Orleans in 1878. During the succeeding twenty-two years he had a varied expe rience, earning steady promotion and-a growing repu tation, in the traffic departments of several railroads and in charge of traffic associations,Mn the. west and southwest. In 1895, soon after the ’ organization of Southern Railway Company, he began,- as Third Vice- President in charge of traffic, his service for- this Com pany in which, with an interval of a few; months in 1896, he continued until his death eighteen years later. He became President of this’Company In December, 1906, at a moment when -the work of'gathering 'in and. welding together its lines into a consolidated; system ‘ ad been done. The map had been made. There are - more miles of railroad included in the system today there were when he became President. His task is, therefore, complementary to the work already done -the history of the development of the property ^tlie past seven years is the history of how he and accomplished that task , of conservation ’ gsive development. Duringdhls administra- yes of the Company;increased:20.95 per ^1918 with 1907), bnt what is even Bf, the balance of Income available gly put back into the property) is In no small meas- olicy and practice of ' ng organization of pnnel. He inaug- of promotion recognit' frank, straightforward and manly utterances and pa tiently iterated doctrine has been long recognized, but was remarkably demonstrated by the expressions which . have been received’since his death from public bodies throughout the South. . He did much in this way to correct a sentiment from which all railway property has suffered in recent years—a sentiment which has found its expression in an erroneous belief that a rail way takes from the public more than it gives, and his effort in word and deed was to restore a-just balance of understanding of the economic necessity, to every citizen in his daily life, of a well maintained, honestly administered- and prosperous transportation system: In; other ways also he gave expression to a broad view of the indentity of interest between the welfare of the railways and that of the public. He lent' active co-operation to the chief educational; industrial and commercial interests of the South, and a moral support to every movement which is making for the welfare of the South, but perhaps his greatest service of this na ture was his successful campaign for the promotion of better agriculture. Gently born and gently bred, it was Mr; Finley’s fortune to’be thrown upon his own resources at an early age'and without the advantages of a university training and experience usually enjoyed by his asso ciates: it was, therefore, a peculiar satisfaction to Wm and to Ws friends' that in 1910 he received, with the assurance that it was no mere decoration, a-degree of Doctor of Laws from Tulane University at New Or leans, the principal seat of learning in the community where he had spent his youth. On the personal side, Mr. Finleywas essentially a gentleman: he demonstrated on many occasions the combination In his character of those qualities wliich may; be expressed by the words -modesty and courSge.

Pomeroyton1 K y.-In interesting ad- vices from this place, Mt. A. J. Hughes writes as follows : “I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so, bad,. at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit takfng other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not haws' any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what BIdck- Draugjit has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has beeir found a very' valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is-composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet sureiy. It can be tre^ y used by young and old, and should ,be kept in every family chest.

Tbci'G H rc a t p re s e n t about 3 6 .* 0 ) jo ile s o f sand clay roads in th e U uited S ta te s , m ainly in th e South- er0 S tates, a c c o rd in g to th e Ofifice of Public Roads, U . S. D epartm ent of Agriculture. The tim e to w ork tbe roads is in the spring w hen-the soil is d a m p . I f th e w orking of the roads is d e fe re d u n til late in the su m m er w h e n th ey are dry , they a re n o t only m ore difficult to p ut in p ro p e r shape, b u t th e cost of re p a ir is greater th an if they were w o rk e d early in. th e sp rin g . P re vio u s to 1 8 9 4 com paratively little , i f a u y , of these roads existed. The p o p u la rity of this type of road is due to th e fa c ts th a t it is cheap, c o m p a ra tiv e ly firm a n d d u rab le, easy to c o n s tru c t and rep air, and th a t th e m a te ria ls o u t of w hich it is b u ilt a re plentiful in m any sec tions o f th e c o u n tr y . The sand clay road is m ade by mixing the sand and clay in such a way that the grains of sand touch each other, the spaces betw een the grains being filled w ith clay w hich acts as a binder. The approxim ate m ix tu re of sand and clay m ay be determ ined by filling a vessel w ith a sam ple of the sand to be used, an d another vessel of the sam e size w ith w ater. The water is poured carefully • into the sand until it reaches th e point of overflowing.- T he volum e of water removed from th e second vessel represents approxim ately the proportion of clay needed. The proper proportion of sand and clay can best be determ ined, however, as the w ork progresses, as some clay w ill contain m ore sand than other. In fact, clays are very frequently iound w hich already contain about th e rigbt^prophrtion of sand. If the road to be treated is sandy, the surface is first leveled off and crowned w ith a road m a chine, the crown being ab o u t one half inch to the foot irom the cen ter to the sides. T he clay is then damped on the surface and care fully spread, so th a t it will be from 6 to 8 inches in dep th a t th e center, and gradually decreasing in deprh towards the sides. A layer of clean sand is then usually added, which is thoroughly m ixed w ith the clay, either by traffic o r by means of plows and disk of tooth harrows.

High Praise For Junior Order. Tbe action of the Lexington Council No. 21, Jr. O.'U. A. M., in subscribing for 50 shares of building and loan stock, has at tracted attention everywhere. If the or der had been simply pulling'off an adver tising stunt in taking the stock, instead of seeking to help along the cause of home-building and home owning, it would have paid, for people everywhere are talking about it The Charlotte Observer Friday had as its leading editorial the following: “The action of the Lexington Council of the Junior Order .,in making investment in the local building and loan association is to be commended. The Observer views it in the light of an inspiring example to all fraternal and benevolent organizations. The Lexington Juniors will invest $50 each month in the home building fund, and its surplus funds coulh not'be put to better account. So far as the Observer knows, the Junior Ordm of Lmtington is the first to realize the advantages , of the building and Jpan as a medium for profi table investment. Two objects are ac complished at the same time—the en couragement of the saving habit and in spiration of the home owning spirit. The community-benefit of the building and loan association is coming more and more into Dublic:appreciation and the Lexing ton council has struck a lead that will command the attention of the state.” -It is stated on good authority that an other of Lexington's prosperous and pro- gressive orders is considering taking the same step. iThis organization is not as old as the Jtiniors, but it is growing at a rapid rate and is looking for some safe place to invest its • surplus funds.

Havingbeenengagedin the business more or less for forty years I feel it a duty to the animal creation to give my views for the criticism of others who are engaged in the work. Shoeing horses is a very perticuiar thing, and should be done with a great deal of care, A man should study the nature of-a horse's foot In the first place, we ought to be very careful in shaping the shoe---the shoe should be dished so that it would rest only on the wall of the foot. A mare’s shoe, I think is best for a small foot. For this reason the smaller the foot the tbiner the wall of the foot will be. A broad shoe has too much space for dirt to pack under the shoe over the tender part of the foot. The foot should be pared off with a buterage which has all most gone out of use and the drawing knife has taken its place. There is a great many horses that can't be trimmed as they ought to be, from the fact the frog of the foot is in the way of trimming. The frog of the foot should not be touched with the knife except the parts that are shedding, as it is of a spongy nature, and therefore the purpose of pretecting-the foot. A horse should be shod as wide at the heel as possible. If a horse is shod too close it will effect that nerve running from the heel of the foot and draw the heel together, affecting the whole limb. And again! What I am go ing to say now may seem a little strange because it is departing from the old cus tom For instance, a driving horse, if the roads get dry and hard, don’t put any calks on the shoes. Now I think that is the time a horse needs them. A slim sharp calk to prevent the jar. If you were to jump down off a scaffold or some small spikes in the bottom of your shoes, the jar would not be near so severe. So with a sharp calk on the horse. The ankle is not so apt to swell from driving an then. In driving the nails great care should be taken. The straghter we can get a nail to go through the foot the bet ter. -Fbrthisreasona nailalways bows in to wards the foot and it is very close to the quick and when clinche is drawn down tight. The presure is going towards the tender part of the foot, which is very sensative, and some time the horse lame and you can't account for it. A short clinch is much better than a long one. Some file under the nail before clinching. This should not be done, but file the nail on the top leaving the nail sharp at the point, so as it will turn in the hoof, so they won't raise and cut the horses ankle. Another thing to avoid sand cracks. Never let your horses feet get too long.. There is great danger of the foot breaking loose from the inside of the . foot. Seme times the crack will go dear around the foot,? In the first ‘place, the . foot should be pared off as short as it will * bear, and then clean out the sand with care and then make some thin flat-head ed nails and drive them through from the inside of the foot, drawing the foot to gether,-clinching them as the other nails, then put the shoe on. The shoe should not stay on very long before re-setting as the foot should be kept short. Some times corns come from bad shoeing. Great care should be taken - in shoeing. The foot should be cut down so the shoe would not touch the corns, as they are very sensa- tive. A great deal more might be said on the subject. Hope to hear throught The Record from others on this subject, as a very'important one. This may go to the waste basket, but I hope to see it gain, so as to get people more interested in the matter.
