"We are indebted to the Hon. Louis
"Waldter of this city for the foregoing
translation from a German newspa
per, of.an article on the subject allu
ded to. Editor.
A CIIAXGE OP HORSE-SHOEING.
Mr. Charlier, a Frenchman, some
time ago, before the Veterinary Soci
ety of Edinburg, presented his views
and experiences in regard to necessa
ry improvements in horse-shoeing,
which were highly appreciated by
the large audience, lie says:
The reason why horses have to be
bhod is, because they have to draw
or carry burdens and often have to
walk over rough or stony roads, they
have to tread heavier, and therefore
the hoofs can't grow as fast again as
t hey wear oil. In this respect only
the narrow, exterior edge of the hoof
is considered which has to lie protect
ed ; the middle part of the hoof, the
so-called frog, not only needs no pro
tection, but ought not to be touched
at all. This frog consists of a spongy,
elastic, substance, resembling caout
chouo, which has the imporrahc pur
pose to soften the heavy tread of the
horse by giving to the foot u certain
elasticity ; it seldom wears oil" and
and replenishes itself sufficiently
"While the elastic ball is destined to
soften the heavy tread, (as the callous
uu the feet of those walking barefoot
ed) therefore it is taken care that the
horn paster horney edge prevents too
hard pressure on the frog, and in the
horse in his normal condition, this,
proportion is always the same. All
we have to do is to protect the outer
edge of the Inof by a tolerably tight
covering, to prevent its wearing oil"
too fast, not wider thun tiie edge itself
consisting of a tough and strong ma
terial, and very smooth.
For cutting oil' the horney edge,
the lecturer uses an instrument like
a moulding plane, which performs
the work quickly and &urely ; take
no more away than to leave the hoof
and shoe even, and the frog and shoe
to touch the ground always together,
us thereby all unnecessary iron weight
is dispensed with, which is only
troublesome to, the animal, the same
is at the bailie time enabled, surely
and naturally, to move on slipery
ground, stony roads, and even on icy
surfaces, as by this new way of shoe
ing, the frog will be better developed.
Just as according to nature the frog is
constantly exposed to pressure and
neutralizes the same, the hoof is ena
bled to keep healthy, while the pres
ent way of shoeing horses is just as
pernicious, as the high and eaky
heels the fashionable ladies now-a-days
wear, that is to their own tor
ture, but with unpaid-for satisfaction
to keep pace with the fashion. Shoe
ing as above described, ought to be
renewed every six weeks.
Nebruka soil.
Yours very respectfully,
Eiavard Jones.
TtKCA riRCLATION.
Now, on the supposition that Mr.
Jones paid $10,40 cash per acre for his
land, and on the further supposition
that he drives his corn to martet in
"cow-hides and hog-skins," his bal
ance sheet for the year, will stand as
follows :

Thus we see that Mr. J. not only
makes enough in a single year out of
his farming to pay for his 320 acres of
land at a cash valuation, but he also
pa3's for breaking 140 acres of it, and
for all need help besides, and for his
seed, and for his Urown's corn plant
er, and has $130,1HJ left.
The January reports of the U. 8.
Commissioner or" Agriculture at
Washington shows Nebraska the scc
ond State in the Cnion an to average
yield of corn in 1371, viz: 41.5 bush
els to the acre.
Let it not be forgotten too, that Ne
braska took the National Premium at
the American l'omological Society.
We "rest our case on the evidence'1
for the present, in behalf of the Great
American Desert.
-ITS CUL.-
view to curing, but suited for strip
ping and taking care- of it through
the winterami spring.
As an encouraging reflection for the
tobacco grower of the 'present day, T
v.il! mention that, twenty-live years
since, th crop of Granville was sold,
in the markets of Petersburg ami
Richmond, the average priee not ex
ceeding six dollars, netting the farm
er less than five dollars. At present,
very few of our farmers nre willing
to sell at home for less than ten dol
lars. I feel safe in saying that the
average price of the present day is
double what it was twenty-five years
sinee."'
Some of the ideas, or modes of till
age, are not in exact keeping with
Western tillage. We think the i-rop
would be the better with our style of
fanning, and in our soil. As before
said, we recommend a trial of this
crop iu our State, but would advi-e
care, and not an attempt at too exten
sive operations until more experience
is obtained.

FARMING ON TIIE GREAT AMERI
CAN DESERT.
Por the benefier of those whs yet
believe Nebraska to be the "Great
American Desert" as formerly repre
eented, and even taught in school ge
ographies, we present the following
figures and fads with names and ad
dress of parties performing.
Moses Stocking, Eldred, Sanders
county, Nebraska, one of our old, set
tlers, and an earnest and intelligent
Rtock raiser last year, from a flock of
l0a sheep, all told, sold 10,000 pounds
of wool, at 2o cents per pound, net
ting the sum of $2,oU0 or over $2 a
head. Had he held his wool till to
day he would have realized 50 cents
per pound or $5,000, over $4,00 per
head. His sheep averaged 8 (5-10 lbs
of wool to the head. Mr. Stocking
this year will shear about 1S00 head,
and will probably net 15,000 pounds,
which at the present market price
will bring him iu the hniidsome sum
of $7,500.
Here is what Edward Jones o
pleasant Hill, Saline county, Xebras-f
ka, did last year. We copy Mr. Jones'
letter entire as we liud it in the Sa
line County rost, believing it will be
read by others with as much pleasure
us by us :
Pleasant MUll. Xeb.,
January 2, 1872. J
Dear Sin: In reply to your re
quest, I will give you a full and cor
rect account of all my doings since I
commenced operations iu this place.
I settled here the 1st of April last. 1
rented ten acres of old ground and
plowed it myself. I bought 10 bush
els nt wheat at i-1 pe? bushel, and
pepper, Virginia, former editor of the
Southern Planter and Fanner, Rich
mond. As a valuable paper on that
subject, we now extract itom mi es
say read by J. C. Cooper, before the
Goodwyn Club, Granville, North
Carolina, as follows :
"The first work in the cultivation
of tobacco is the sowing the seed ; for
this purpose we should, in the month
of. February, when the eartli is dry,
select a moist -pot of land (in the for
est preferable) with a line, close, rich
soil burn it well, hoe it un and re
move all the roots, and apply enough I
guana and-other immure to make it!
very rich, chop in the manure, and
reduce it to a tine tilth, and for every
ono hundred square yards sow a ta
blespoonful of seed, trample the bed,
cover it well with blush, put a good
fence around it, and you may go for
ward in the preparation of your to
bacco iand, confident that for every
one hundred square plant bed, you
will bo able to plant ten thousand
hills in the month of Ma v.
Ill tin? Tirrii:ir.-if inn i vmir luml I
don't be afraid of making it too tich
r of preparing it too thoroughly; it
should be ploughed at least twicedur
ing the winter freezes, for the pur
pose of pulverizing it and destroying
the insects, after which it should be
again thoroughly pulverized with the
plow and harrow at the time the
plan ts are ready, .-ay by the 10th or
15th of May. As soon as the platils
are ready for setting out, or a little
before, tiie land should be thrown up
in beds three and a. half feet wide and
checked acres thirty-two inches
wide, whi.ch wil. form a sufficient
hill, only requiring the pat of a hue.
'i his treatment is only applicable to
old land. New ground, after being
thoroughly broken with the couhei,
and all the roots are removed, may be
partially bedded in w.tli a tinning
plough, but it will require that the
hills be put up with a hoe.
Having thus prepared vour land,
you will avail yourself of the firs;
sea-on, and try and get a good plant
well set in each hill ; avoid planting
when the land is very wet : the light
er the season the better, if the plants i ?
live. Having secured a good stand, it j :
win oe necessary tnat the land be
thoroughly cultivated, and the plant
kept free of worms. I would suggest
as a mode of cultivation that it be
ploughed three times first the wide
way, and reversing at each subse
quent ploughing; each ploughing
should be followed with the hoe,
lightening the earth around the p.ant
and drawing a little diri lo it at the
third and last working it should be
left with a good smoth hill. I would
advise as a general rule ihat tobacco
be topped 1 1 ten leaves, leaving a few
more where the land is very rich, and
the plant luxuriant and forward;- re
ducing the number as the season advance.-,
in order that the top leaves
may lie of good size, and ripe. When
your tobacco comes in top it will re
quire constant care and attention to
keep off the worms and suckers. Al
low it to st md until it is thoroughly
ripe. If you have discharged vour
duty, you will generally be able to
present to the knife a rich ripe crop of

Between the time of corn planting
and gathering, I cut 55 acres of grain
with my own team, for my neigh
bors at $1 per acre ; cut and staqked
in good shape 150 tons of the very

shipping, take it from the hill to the
barn, and hang it thin in the barn,
and cure it with fire without attempt

coal curing as the most remunerative.
