ter of shoeing for specific purposes has
,made greater progress In America than
In any other country on the face of the
globe, and that is a department of the
farrier's art which is entitled to the
highest eulogiuiu.
There Is one Instrument which 1
hould like to see. if possible, omitted
from the shoeing outfit of every far
rier, and that is the drawing knife.
The outside, or horny wall, and that
'portion of the sole which is in imme-

should
be
dlate contact with it, on which the
shoe should rest, are the only portions
of the foot which require to be inter
fered with in preparing the foot for
the shoe, and all the trimming that is
necessary can and ought to be effected
by means of the rasp.
' The first illustration shows the only
partB which should be reduced when
a foot is properly prepared for the
shoe. Sufficient care is not always
given to shortening the hoof so that
its angle should conform exactly to
the inclination of the limb. An in
spection of the foot in profile is usual
ly the best way of deciding the correct
degree of obliquity. Too much impor
tance cannot possibly be attached to
this and the succeeding step namely,
leveling the srround surface of the foot.
The very smallest deviation from the
perpendicular eutails disastrous conse
quences not only on tne toot, dui ou
the entire limb.
The different styles of shoes which
have been devised are marvels of in
genuity. Many are applicable only to
horses used solely for speed purposes,
but a considerable number are potent
auxiliaries In mitigating the results of
natural defects of conformation among
animals whose lot is cast in humbler
fields of horse enterprise. Among
these are the scoop toed or roller mo
tion shoe for the fore feet, Fig. 2, and
the shoe, Fig. 3, for the hind feet,
which, while they obviate forging or
clicking, a habit hurtful to the horse
and singularly annoying to his driver,
do not in any way tend to inflict injury
on the feet or limbs.
The scooped or rolled toe confers a
mechanical advantage, enabling the an-

Today the delegates to tie Boys' Con
ference will invade Corvallis. It is ex
pected that from 5O to 60 will arrive to
niebt from Portland and Salem is to
send 25. the two delr gations coming by
(.pedal car this evening. Le' everyone
help to make the tiip a memorable one
to these little men. Merchants are re
anested to decorate their places of bnsi-
aess and to otherwise join in the spirit of
the occasion. Besides giving the visitors
the time oi their lives it behooves Cor
valliaitee to make the visit one of pleas
ure, because every boy who comes and
goes will sdvetise our city for good or
ill, according to the impression he gains
nF it Khtta ham; and furthermore, seed
own now may bear fruit later on by
bringing back to OAC as students many
of these little lade who are at present not
ready for college life. Could we but
realize that these youths are the men of
the coming years it would not be neces
eary t urge it upon the people to step
aside from the regular path to bid them
welcome.

'invitation
We desire to impress upon all the importance of beginning

some attending must return on the 4 o'clock train, the meeting
will commence promptly on time. You will be helping very
much by being present then. Kindly remember this. It is
unnecessary to impress upon you the value of these meetings.
The meeting is arranged for your benefit. You and your child
ren are the ones to be directly benefited by the meeting. This
being so, we know every one will try to be present so that their
children will receive all the benefit to be derived from bet
ter schools. A good, live, working school means much to
every child in each community. To have ' such schools we
cannot do too much as fathers and mothers and patrons. You
- are interested in your own school. Come then and help us and
help the children. Very truly,

Don't ask us to publish selections

Don't ask tor space tor pet

Don't forget that the editor is

Don't forget, too, that tnenome
