:her neal food before das6, and without hay
during the night. By eating the meal food al
night, their stomachs convert the whole OF it
into notiriShnIeut. That taken in the day does
very little yood-morc frequently injury than
good-,toperates on the stomach irstcn. of
the stomachs operating on it so tina, not only
nothing is extracted trcr il, butt cxcites pain,
choices and other SYMPTOMS of inflammation
This can be well understood from the expert
nient oi an English physician: lie gave n riy-
en- quantity OF the same food to two similar
dogs, keeping the one quiet, the other in con-
slant motion, for six hours, when hath were
killed. The stomach of the one az rest had Iii
geSted all its contents-that of the Other had
not produced any effect. The frequen, rene
tition of this experiment, has ended in its IN
disputed establishment. Hence, it is clear that
the grain given in the day to animals i'm use
is of no benefit, as it passes through the s,o-
mach before rest enables the digestion to rake
place. Hence, giving hay at night, really IN
Jnres horses, by keeping them awake and mo-
wing. During the night, excepting with those
animals nature made for subsistingin the dark
rest and sleep arc indispensable ; and more or
less, they are injured by every deviation from
nature.
The practice ofgivins hay at night to hor-
scs, am sure was Introduced by tavern keep
erS and, If not kept up By their interests,
wouid be Abandoned BY every one who. had
sense enough 10 perceive tue folly. In one or
two hours during the day, horses can eat as
much hay rs will do them good In confirma-
ton Of this heard of the treatment several
travellers gave their horses and in pursuance.
during journey ofmany hundred miles, they
gave their horses only grain at night, and hay
for an hour in the day. During the last thou
sand miles, they gained III flesh (;noush tray
ening more expeditiously under this rcgimcn)
that which they lost IN the beginning. under
the customary treatment of giving grain in tue
day, with hay at night.
The last point have to press, is, the neces-
sity of keeping stock sheHeTtd that is securing
to them the benfiet o ftheiro wu warmth. Itisa
truth, ndced, thai during their exposure TO the
irregularities OF the ssNson, they require twice
the ordinary food, for their rourshment q sti-
mutation, and are subject to ten times as many
fatal disorders as otherwise they would be-
The master has taken them from Il state where
nature supplied their wants !; and if he be not
too much of brute to feel for their hardships,
he ought TO be so much ola man of honor as 10
supply what his interests dictate, as ii requital
TO the animal for its loss of what nature design
ed for its original
If, by this plan of grinding IS boiling, the half
of the grain be saved in the country as
most certainly it may, there will he but little
occasion for pressing the extension of the prin-
ciple to man, by advising eating mSh in
stead OF bread, and taking soups instead of
meat.

not enough To give character to the country.

Living contiguous to this territory, we feel
considerable interest In every thing relating to
IT. We notice the second numberofa pubca-
ton in the Natchez papers, addressed to the
people, on the subject OF admitting that terri
tor into the union an independent state
The writer, with considerable force OF reason
ing, attempts to prove that il is unwise in the
people to desire TO be admitted as one state,
and that twould be impoitic in Congress TO
permit them. He states the territory contains
upwards of loo, 900 square miles, equal to about
90 millions of acres
Which immense size, the writer contrasts
with some of the largest states in the union
