Tha hoof of tliu horse is meant to liu elastic) to expand and contract with pressure.. Hut man in hia perversa ignorauco lias tuiilei taken to Improvo iioii naturo nud ha thought to innku a hetter and stronger hoof than naturo could. Ko'liu has invented horseshoes, and with them a troop of topiiuu ailment all of which comu in their train. No horseshoe that gives complete s.itlrfau tlon has ever licen Invented, mid no horso. Iioo which is not liable to do uioro harm than good. The superstition that holies cannot go without shoos it imo which has no juttlllca tlon In fact.

On tliu contrary, shognvu to him n foot which was admirably contrived to answer nil thu pur pose to hich a horses' foot can hu tumid, and ihv Uft nothing in its iiiecli;iii'iii to lie desired or iitiprnwd. Man, however, often most foolish whcu.hq thinks himself most prescient, knowing noth ing of tho wisdom of Xatiiri1, thinking a great deal of his own, undeitnok tn curry thu work of Natun' further than aim had eer eontrni plitud. o tlmhoisu was, shoe), ami nntuith- ttAtidlng tlio fact tha' hu litis heeu suhject to various lonin of lameness Ami foot iliscnsu ever since, whereas hu was previously fue from all ailments of thu kind, it is held as an article almost of religious faith flint hu must bo shod. Of late years, lumcyer, Scincn has oeen inserting thu thin edgu of thu wedge into this tiiiiu-hiiuoi ed fnllney, and them is grow . injj evieleneu that eeiitunlly thu old ideas will beXtiic-trilcd, and that, actual demonstration will at length, tin matter after what resist ance, ilme superstition and custom from thu field. The fact that whenever the disuse of horse. ahoes is tiled, the results speedily justify the course, renders It certain that the uo-slico par ty will triumph in the end, And thcru is not a single argument fount rly used ly the advo cates ot shoeing w hich Is not now- provt to he 'erroneous, Kor instance, it was ilaimcd'that though homes might go unshod io long as tliev had only dirt roads to deal w ith, they could not stand th(w ear and tlwir ofj-uity street without having their fret 'artrMally protect- rd. Hut this is nu eutuu mistake, I ho truth is that the natural hoof is better adapted to any kiiul ot rouel than thu sliexl hoof can ho, The uuihod horse whoso hoofs hae had timo to grow lutes, into what Nature meant them to be ia anrer-footed, has a lighter tread, la more elastic and (rev. in his movement, la let lia ble to lameness, than thu victim of civiliswl stupidity. At certain twin it has been found necessary to discard horseshoes, as during mil itary tampaign. Napoleon's cavalry loat all their ahoes during thu retreat from Moscow, but thu general testimony of the men was to thu ellect that they went better without them. The anciruu knew uothiug ot hoeing horses, yet they did things with cavalry which would almost certainly break ' down any mounted expedition shod after the modem fashion. In short the more the iiues tlon Is looked into the plainer dotvs it become that the horseshoe is as uuscieutitio and truly barbarous and mischievous an iuventiouastho bandage and lurraw shoes by which the feet of Chim u women are spjeel out ot shapi. And we cannot call ourselves rwally eiilighu-u-cd until we have uuaudoned a practice, which has nothing to recommend ami very much to condemn it.

In fact, when any destiuctlru insect appears in overwhelming numbers, tho good olliccs of our feathered friends would seem to bo almost our solo dependence for protection from their ravnfr. And yet our lawa and usage are singularly defective, re garded simply from n sclllsh point of view leaving numanlty entirely out ot tlio ques tion. Hut tho matter is constantly forcing itself upon public attention, and gradually we shall make laws which ought to have been upon our statute liooks from tha foundation of the government. In tho meantime let us all, whohavo this subject nt henit, keep on 'preaching until the glorious end is achieved. Tlio observations I have been nblu to make during a residence of several years on A farm have convinced luu thnt tliu common hoitsu wren is really onu of our mo.tt valuablu bilds, not, perhaps, from what they have done, but f re m tho possibilities wrapped up In tlieiis diuiln'itivu bodies. Thoy nio qultu n social a the purple maitiii or the bluebird, mid greatly surpass either of tliesu iu tho rapidity with which they iuci ease. I began several years ngo to provide them w ith nesting-places in thu vicinity of my buildings. Sometimes l fastened mo sunn m n norsa or ox, or n small box, iu n treu-top. llutlattetly I have made it n practicu every .Spring to obtain thirty or forty cigar Ikixc for this purpose. If the box is long and large, I put n par. tition across tho middle, nnd make n hole through into each apaitment. It i very sel dom that these Ikixcn aiu not occupied by onu of these little families. In most instances two broods nre nnnunlly reared In each nesting place. One of my boxes last season turned out three broods of young wrens lx littlo hungry birds each time, or eighteen In all! I think a oignr box never heforu did better duty. Thu lamented Robert Kcnnieott stated that n siuglu pair of wiens carried to their yuug nljout n tiioiisninl insects iu a siuglu day! I.lkonll young, rapidly grow ing birds, they nru known to ho voracious eaters, living entirely upon insect. Thu pi iut upon which most stress mny ho laid is this! That by pro viding them with nesting-place in nur gir deus, orchmds (irgniiiuds, and not allowing them to he caught by cut or scared away by iniichiuvout bojs, wu may havu scons, if not hundreds of them about us during most of thu timo iu which insects nre destructive. They undoubtedly return to thu same locnlitic)ear nftcr J ear.

The comltlg .Spring I intend to put upatlcut n bundled of theso nestlngdMixc in my nrtlnrdshiiit groves, and I havu no doubt 1 ahull be repaid n bundled thousand fold for tho little) laWit cost. As long as thuy comur)ueh so irguhuly every j ear ami iu constantly increasing iiuuiUrs, and servo me so well, I shall do all in my power to protect nud encnuragu them. And I am of the opinion tliutwluu onu specie of social, useful birds can bo inadu to congregate in such unusual nuuilcr, other willcoiuu al.o. Hut thu hardiness, sociability, lovu if thu locality where it Is reared, and wonderful fecundity of tho littlo luuiso wren, inulu it, iu my judgment, one nf thu most valuable of our jutuctivorotis bud. 1 'The Hog Improved to Death. luvu lhuiKilsad. , Thu how ofn fniimrda) (ny twenty-live pears ngo) was nt Witt ugly ami hainly.

BRITISH AGRICULTURE, t. N. Kconom!t, J ho depression of agricultural Interests in Orcat Britain has so long been a, subject of prominence before the world that wo havo be como (juito accustomed to regard It In tho Hghtof n permanent condition of altair. A settled conclusion of thia sort must not bo ac cepted by any reasoning mind. Wldlo thcro is no causo to bclicvo that thcro can ever be any very great improvement of tho situation there may be a change in sonic degrco for the letter, w hich for an occasional season may mako an appreciable difference in the necessity of drawing upon us for breadstuff supplies so largely as is tho case nt tho present time. Hut even with such nu improvement consider- en iu us most luvornola light, thcro is no doubt that American competition will nlwny overbalance tho difference, and can produce n supply cheaper nnd better than can lm dono by any Kuropcati country. Just now the prospect thero is nbout as gloomy as ever, and tho future is full of foreboding!. Nothing like the unpromising condition of agricultural nirair havo been seen thcro since tho repeal of the com laws. In ten year there havo been seven defcctivo harvests, tho last cul minating in intensity and including in it trr.tsp n part of the animal in addition to tho other native produce. Tn Ireland, where boycotting" has pnvailcil tho loss has been Immense. In Kngland, where tho bulk nf thu wheat crop Is grown, there has been lost in these years more than thirty million pounds sterling in value, and that which no compcu sating feature in higher prices On account of this situation especially, as well ns on generr! priciplcs, thu Introduction of meats nnel cereals from the United States proves to Ihj of Incalculable advantage to thu people of Kuropo, as well a of Kngland, nnd especially to tho working classes. Our most thoughtful mcrcniitllo minds ami those most du.-ply In terested of our country nro convinced thnt w e nre rapidly nnd surely obtaining control of this trade, and can, with proper management, nbo hold It securely nud profitably. Hritish enterprise iu new fields may have all thu opportunities that nre humanly possi ble) but ns far nt any new duvtdopmciit or ap plication in tho soil of old Kngland is concern cd, there is but n skeleton of hope. Tlio ground is ton largo extent too much improver Ished to yield sustenance to thu tillers and to nourish it by artificial mean is almost out of tho iim-attnn. Tho cost of proper fertilisation renders taint resort nuxt to impossible, as even in thu event of success iu good lutsoii and iu favorable weather, there could bo no hope of competition with Amcilcaii produce. Thu amarlng extent, and apparently Inexhaustible richness of our soil, thu tremendous develop ment of tiuw ncrcage every year, and thu maiiillccnt nhtimUucu of tlio yielded all crop iu orilinary seaious, won hi force our staples up ui tho market to their hopeless dkulvaut'ier, both ns to ejuality nnel coit. Kngland has yet to real i to that radical changes iu its laws slid ciittoma liu nt tho root of nil thitf troublesome matter. The solution of the problem is only a ipiestiou of timu. Additional Work at tho Mouth or the Mis' lsalppl. Many of tho ateuinship now- coming to the port of New Oilcans are from .'1.10 to .'ITS feet iu length, with the touuagu doublu or even treblu what it was n short while since. Few of tht so vessels ilruw less than from 'JO to '.'il leet. Thu channel through thu southern Pass, whole thu jetties were coustructeel, is fiom '.M to SO feet deep and 'JlXJ feet nidu nt it narrowest jioiut. At one point, at hast, only a siuglu largu steamship at a timu can pass iu or nut. If it collision in South l'ass should result iu the inking of any nf thu large) stcAiuci coming tu that port, thu i'ieMyune think it, iui,ht ulteether.oli.truct thu channel of' the river so that no other largo vessel could get through, ami that such things havo not occunyl is not owing to the care that has been taken to prevent them. Tho construction of a secoml outlet for thu water of thu Mississippi is, therefore recom mended us by no mean nu iusupcruhlu elilll- cully, ami tho outlay, when compaicel with thuimportnnce of thu work, would muu little. The cost of such outlet is vstimatiil from $1,000,000 to S-.'.OOO.OOO nnd we nro assureel that thu investment will prove very beiieticul to commerce. Success with Millet. HMIiloro lnJeiidnt. Ijtst ear Isaao Meyers, of Forest lirove, had alioilt b pouinls of millet seed sow u on thu Heeel place, near Dilley, on about one-sixth of ait acie ot ground, ami it prueUced 111 bushel or at thu rate of 114 bushels to the sere, Soinu of the set d from this crop was solel in Port land for 4 cent per poiiuei, and us it probably weigh oO iHiuud to thu bushel wouhl inaku a vtthublo crop.

Iu soinu part of the world tlour is made of it, aud it is uid to make a very nutritious tlour. It makes good fodder or hay also, and would serve, iu this climate, where It will cure aud corn won't, iu place ot corn fur fodder. Several persons in the neighborhood of Dilley intend to try this crop tliia year. Mr. Meyer pur pose to sow all the seed he has, aud give it a seiuuiv trial, lie will tto a gouel service to thia community it it anouiet ue tountl a valuablu product ie.r this country. company of lluucaruu gentlemen are visiting tue United State to examiue our resource and method of developing theui. So far they havu expressed themselves as be ing surprised aud delightetl. We have learn ed from the Huuguriaua improved procvate ol milling, aud we owe them all the insight into our industrial operations that ther keeu eye and liberal munis can couipats. They show a more teachable spirit than the Knglish com. mission, viewing matter from a continental, rather than ail in.uhr staudpomt, as it were. It is likely too that wheu they returu to their owu country they will me a more iuelie.-i.il statement of their observations, than was 7 .1 ii . 1 1 i7 . .. ' !. . I given the llr.ti.1, public by iUMi, Ke.vl and TINWARE. Bt, txuls (Irocer. In front of many of the hardware stores iu nil our Urge cities may bo seen pile of tin vessel of nil description, nnd solel at price o low that to tho uninitiated it seems like a marvel that audi fine looking good cnu bo made for so littlo money. Visitors from tho country are apt to carry home' a good load of thia sort of stuff, and think they havo mado great bargains; but in a few months they find their nico looking tinware full of holes, nnd scarcely worth repairing. Tho fact ia tho country is being flooodcel with wares made from very light ami poor tin plate, nnd o littlo tin iaused to plate tho iron that tho material might be called "lead platu" with, almost equal truth. Asia well known tin plato is mado by plunging clean sheet of iron into melted tin, which gives it n coating of this latter metal. This bath is repeated several times, until enough tin ia deposited on thu iron plato to endure long service. In making tin platu of k'ooil quality only first class iron is used, and if any of tha plates contiin Haws they are rejected. Thu tin used for tho bath is also perfectly pure, and all part of tho plato nre thoroimhty covered with it, so ns to afford n sure protection frem thu action of tho atmosphere on tho iron which would cause rust, nnd nlso to protect tho iron from the notion of ncids in cooking operations. Hy using poor iron ami substituting lead for tho tin to n large extent, a plato may bo mado at a very' low cost, ami it is this quality of tin plato that it mado in tho factories, nnd by its low piicois driving tho old fashioned nnd rclinbla wnro oat of thu market. Thu timo was w hen a family that bought a set of stove furniture wouhl expect that thu tinware wouhl last for many years; now it is rusted, full of holes ami ol no value, in as many mouths. Dealers iu hardware w hn sell such goods without informing their customer ns to tho quality of what they nru purchasing not only commit n wrong, but in n ftir vvny tn lose tho trndo of such at thuy havo victim ioeli cheated once, nciistomcr will try his luck at soinu other establishment. While people nru anxious to buy gooelt at n low price they yet expect to get loiiiethinu that is serviceable. In tho coso of tinware thev are not posted ns to how it is made or ns to whnt its first cost may bo; nnd when they sco n hitherto reliable firm offtiiug such goods at so low a figure they do notoxpect to bo ilcccivcel when unking n purchase. If those cheap goods must bo handled to coni)ctu with other linns, it is ii easurnbly thu wisest pulley to sell thorn for what they uic. To tell n customer frankly th it in six months or a year tho tea kcttlo or boiler that ho is purchasing will be wi rn out, will not only Iw likely to make a permanent custo mer of him, hut will havo tho effect of bring in oidcrs to whom ho will relate the honorable action of tho atorekecper iu telling him tliu real character of what he wished to buy. Honesty alone should require n dealer to glvo this information, ami when to this is addid his own peeiiuiary interest, it is hard to sio w hy sonio i.tglect so plain a duty. It is poor business tact for tho sake of thu present small gain to sacrificu n much larger one that would bo auro to come; it ia but a repetition of thu old saying, jenny wise and pound fooll.h. Not only is there sham tinware sold in our stores, but a largo class of hanlwaru goods can Ik) named that come under the saiuu category, Of course they nre sold cheap ami tho u ttural inference would Ixj that thu customer know what they nru buying, but iu many cases thuy elo not. A man buy a nico I oking h itchet for half n dollar, iiml if hu breaks thu blade nt thu (list blow, hu docs not reflect on how cheap hu mado thu purchase, but is more apt tocursu thu man fiom whom ho bought it, Ami so whin thu gooel huiisuwifo huysii fry. ing nun for u lew shillings and itcrncksat thu bottom, her iiuighlioi-s nru pretty aura to jjcl lur oiuiiioii of thut scamp ot a tiaielvvnro dealer vvliosohl her such tiash.
