For the sakeof the poor horses we ask attention to this matter. Guard Against Splitting1.—Ferrulesor rings of iron are useful things, but among a scoro ofold ones it will be a rare chance to find one that will fitwhere one wants it; besides, they are not applicable toangular sticks. J. H. M. gives us a sample of a sim-ple protection against splitting, which we think may finda wide application in our own hands, and on the farmsof onr readers. Figure 1 represents the end of a sticklike a whifilelree, protected by a simple iron wire, appliedthus: A groove is cut in which the wire may lie, as it. Fig. 1 PUTTING. tnrns over the end ; one end of the wire is bent at rightangles and driven into the stick, a hole being bored ifnecessary. The wire is then laid round in the groove,cut of the length needed, the end bent at an angle of 45degrees, sharpened, and driven in with drawing blows,so as to tighten the wire as much as possible. The endof a slick with a hole in it. as represented, will bear quitea strain before it splits or breaks. Our correspondent
