anmmer-stanIed Horses.

Horses which have nothing but dry hay and
rrain all the gear through, must suffer bo'h
in comfort and condition. Like other d2mcs-
tic animals they relish variety in their food
end the tendency of such variety to improve
tho condition Of animals has been often n"tic-
ed as to have passed into the common TroYcrO
=" Change Of pasture makes fat calves
Truth of this kind seems TO be very gener-
alIy forgotten by some Of those who have oc-
ca:ion TO keep their horses in the stable
throughout the whole year. Many seems to
f,-oet or ignore the fact, that while dry hay
and unbrHised grain may be the handicst and
lnas, troublesome feed for their horses, these
useful servants arc thereby curtaiIed ofcomtoFt,
and prevented from enjoying that amount Of
GOOD health and ability TO endure labor, winch
they might obtain by somewhat different
mode of feeding.
Various methods might be mployed TO Sc
cure some variety in their food Of sunmcr-sta-
bled horses according to the varying circum-
stances of their owners Roots, corn for soil
ing, grasses cut green, masLcs and other things
might be occasionally introduced as agreca-
bic and wholesome changes. At the present
time, when hay and grain are so high, econo-
nv as we'll as the comfort of the horses might
be consulted by some occasional change OF
fes,l. and where nothing can conveniently be
had but hay and grain, something desirable
might be effected, both as regards expense and
health and comfort of horses, by cutting the
hay quite fine and stea,ning it occasionally,
and by grinding or brusing the grain. Hay
cut and grain ground will 60 much farther
than in the natural state. We knoO that a
horse may be kept in good condition on dai-
" potion of three pecks of cut hay and four
quarts of Indian meal, and if the yearly amount
of such an allowance is calculated it will be
found that it requires abont bnshcl Of corn
per week, or fifty two bushels per year, and
one ton Of hay, (Which should be Of the very
best quality for feeding horse during a
whole year. This is economical; and if boil
ing water should be poured over part Of the
hay occasionally and the meal with little
salt added to it, it would give a variety and
\ degree of succulence to the otherwise dry
feed which would make it moro relishing and
wholesome.
We tbinIs this hint, if practically applied
will prove of service both TO man aud beast
both 10 horses and their owners. We may
add here, being forgotten in lis proper
place. that horses will sometimes prefer boiled
turnips or ruta bagas TO raw ones, and meal
will make them still more acceptable.

They set my soul oG fire,
And made me "ieel all over so,

Determined on that night TO hold
OH Deacon Figtail's daughter.
You should have sen Inc strut along
As proud as any squire;
Hold my head as high as could
couldn't hold it higher,
At length the house hove up 10 view
Where dwelt the darling criItCri
At sight of it skittish felt

And beat and thumped SO tnrGei hard,

A voice inside-a charming voice.

And there sat SUke 50 prIin-
