The supreme proof of Abra- ham's faith was his readiness to offer up Isaac as a sacrificial victim.

This is to make the sole thin so the foot will spread. In paring the heel leave brace in, that runs from the back part of heel to front of frog. Then concave the shoe from back nail to the end of shoe and set it flush with the outside of the hoof on both sides, which will tend to spread the hoof. If you study the anatomy of a horse's foot, you will find a small bone laying crossways in the heel just over the frog and in case of contraction it passes against the horn of the foot near the heel, which is the cause of lameness. I have tried this treatment many times, and it never failed to cure. I have spread a horse's foot one inch in six mrrnths.

If the soil is suffteiently firm to stand without caving in, the pit can be made with vertical side. and the sides plau- tered with cement. If the soil be soft or loose the pit should be built with sloping sides, smallest at the bottom. and then plastered. The drautthtstttatt " the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in circular No. 102, “Silo Construction," points out that the para ticular advantages of the pit silo are that cost is low, that filling is easy. no hoisting being needed, and that it in air tight, maintains an even temperature, and is unafteetc) by wind. See that the soil is well drain- ed and free from water at the surface. A curb also should be built two to three feet above the ground for pro- teetion, and five to six feet below ground. The walls should be plasforod with e coat of cement and sand, th I'm-- quarters to an inch thick, and then washed with a wash of cement and water. A good tight cover should be provided. The method of construction is as follows: First, level the ground and describe the two circles for the curb by means of I board swung from the centre, with the spike: eight to ten inches apart at end, depending on thickness of curb required; second. ex. cavate trench for the curb and “true up" inside; third, tIll trench with con- crete u in house foundation. the mix- ture required being one part of ce- ment to seven or eight of sand and gravel (the concrete should be wet enough to run into place and then should be allowed to set from twelve to twenty-four hours); fourth, exce- vebe indde of curb and plaster; fifth, ext-Into reminder to desired depth. lbout five feet deep at n time, “true up" walls and plaster. Legislation of an unusual mdu nnd aimed at the improvement 'it cattle. was panned by the Swiss Gov- ernment many yen" Mo. As a to- sult all bulls have had to be licensed.
