@armtr's Dfpartmpnt,
Small Horses.

The arguments may all be in favor
of great size; but the facts are all the
other way. Large horses are more
liable to stumble and be lame than
those Of the middle size. They are
clumsy, and cannot fill themselves so
quick. The largest Of any class is I'M
naturally grown. They have risen
above the usual mark, and it costs
more to keep them in position than it
would were they on level with their
species. Follow nature is Il rule
never to be forgotten by farmers
Large men are not the best for bust
ness; large hogs are not the hogs to
fattcn best; and large hens are not the
best to lay eggs, Extremes are to be
avoided, We want well formed ami
mails rather than such as have large
bones. Odd as it may be to the thco-
rist, short-legged soldiers arc better On
the march, and officers say they en-
dure hardships longer than those of
longer limbs. On choosing a horse,
take care, by all means, that his legs
are short. Ifthey are long and split
apart like u pair Of dividcrs, never in
quirc the price Of the dealer. Make
no Offer --Indiana Farmer.

I'm Not Going to Learn a Trade

Amt you? should like to know
why not! Hundreds and thousans
have learned one before you, and ma
nv more will do the same thing. A
trade well learned may make u name
and q fortune well earned. lfyou cv-
err Get either without working for it,
YOU will be an instance Of which the
world has never heard.
don't think much OLA boy who says
he is not going to learn trade. If his
place in the world is such that he can
learn u good trade, and have II good
situation. he will be very unwise not
to seize the opportunity. A hoy who
goes to a trade, determined TO make
himself master OF his business, and to
make an Intelligent and well informed
workman, will soon rise to the head Of
his profession, if he pursues the right
path. The faithful apprentice who
delights to do a days worl; well, and
to do it to the best oil his ability, so as
to earn the praise oGhis employer, will
feel happier, and be a more honorable
man, than he who does just enough
to shuttle along the day. and then hur-
rics away from his work as il it were
q nuisance and Il curse.

Treatment of Consumption.

The Medical Specialist calls att"n-
ton to the decrease in the mortality
from consumption during the last six
months, compared with the correspond
ing period in previous years, and as
cribcs the change to the improved
treatment by inhalation. The dimi-
mutton in the mortality from consump-
ton during the last three months Of
the year 1855, was twenty-five per
cent. less than during the last quarter
of 1853 and 1854; and during the quar-
ter Just ended, the diminution in the
number Of deaths from consumption
exceed by thirty one per cent. the NOR
tality Of the same months in lS55.---
The Specialist remarks:
This general resort to Inhalation
could not be unproductivc Of results
flour treatment had been unsuccessful,
it must have increased the mortality.
# successful. it could not but diminish
it in proportion to that success. None
who are at all acquainted with the
magnitude Of our practice will deny
that it has been, during the past two
years, sufficient to exert the most de-
cidcd influence on the bills Of mortali-
ty, not only ofthis city, but also Of the
cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Boston. That that influence has been
exerlcd in the marked decrease in the
number Of deaths, is an Inference from
the facts, not only legitimate, but, we
think, unavoidable: and we clam it
not only on any personal grounds, but
as the natural result of adopting amorc
direct simple, and common sense
treatment. More than year ago we
stated in one Of our published letters,
that if every case Of consumption in
this city were placed under .judicions
treatment by Inhalation, within two
years the mortality from this disease
would be dismissed one half This
prediction is now coming top pass.

To Keep Eggs.-During a long voy

which he was using. This was ALL
The reason Of his success is, that by
turning the eggs over, he kept the
yolk about the middle Of the aibumen.
If still the yolk will after u while find
its way through the white TO the shell,
and when it does so, the eggs will
spoil. Hens understand this fact. as
is well known, and turn over their
eggs, which they set, at least daiIy.----

Preservation of Wheat from
Weevil.

Numerous remedies have been pro-
posed to protect wheat from the rava-
gcs OF wccvil, but the most CT them
have been impracticable or too ex-
pcnsivc. Mr.. Cailat, in France, re-
commcnds the use Of tar Us certain
and economical agent for their de-
struction. lie says:
THE efficacy of tar in driving away
the wccvil, and preserving the grain
is an incOntcstibc fact. My father
had, long time ago, his granarics,
barns, and the whole house infested
with these insects; so much so that
they penetrated into all the chests
among the linen. He placed an open
cask, impregnatcd with tar, in the
barn, and then in the granaries; at the
end of some hours the wccvls were
seen climbing along the wall by my
raids, and flying in all directions from
the cask. On moving the tarrcd YES
sci from place to place, the premises
were in few days cleared of the
troublesome and pcrncious guests.
The agricuIturist who wants to get
rid of weeviIs may, as soon as he per-
ceiyes their presence, inprcgnatc the
surface Of some old pIanks with tar
andthcn place them as is required in
his granaries. Care must be taken
to renew the tar from time to time in
the course oithc year, to prevent the
re turn OF the insects

The Wants of the Times.

1t is q mans destiny still to be
longing for something, and the gratili-
cation of one set Of wishes but prepares
the unsatislied soul for the conception
of another. The child ola year old
wants little but food and sleep, and no
sooner is he supplied with o sufficient
allowance Of either orthose very eX-
ccllcnt things than he begins whimper-
ing and yelling, it maybe for the other.
At three the young urchin becomes
cnamourcd Of sugar plums, apple pie
and confectionery, At six his imagin-
alton runs to kites, marbles and tops,
and an abundance Of play time. At
ten the boy wants to leave school and
have nothing to do but go bird-ncsting
and black berry hunting. At iitcen
he wants Il beard and moustachcs, a
watch and pair Of Wellington boots.
At twenty he wishes to cut figure
and ride horses, sometimes his thirst
for display breaks out in dandyism,
and sometimes in poetry: he wants
sadly to be in love, and takes it for
granted that all the ladies are dying
for him. The young man Of twenty
five wants a wife, and at thirty he longs
to be single again. From thirty to
forty he wants to be rich, and thinks
more ofmaking money than of spend
ing; and about this time, also, he dab
blcs in politics and wants office. AT
fifty he wants an excellent dinner
and wine, and considers anap in the al
tcrnoon indispensable. The respectable
able old gentleman of sixty wants to
retire from business with snug indie
pendence of three or four hundred
thousands, to marry his daughters, set
up his sons, and live in the country;
and then for the rest olhis life he wants
to be young again.

To the American Party of
ERANR&a.AN COUNTY,.

At the solicitation OF number of
the friends Of Native Amoricanism,
the proprictors Of the Winchester APP
peal have undertaken the publication
ola paper friendly to these principles,
and at considerable risk to them
sclvcs-baving rrcig GIFTED ali theirhopcs
and small means upon the chance Of a
liberal support, and the expectation Of
d patronage that would enable them
to make a paper worthy Of Success
There are more than four hundred vo.
tcrs in Franklin county in favor ofNa-
tive Americanism, and there arc many
of this number who do not paironize
this paper. 1t is to this county, par
ticuIarIy, that the ploprictors look FOR
encouragement, and by q very small
outlay, that would not be felt by the
people, this paper could be placed
upon a permanent basis. and take q
position Of equality, at least, with the
better half oIthc politica! journals Of
the State
An exciting and important contest
is coming on, and this paper cannot be
made useful to any great extent un-
less an interest is taken to make it so,
by those who feel, or ought to feel, in
tcrcstcd in the success Of their cherish
ed principles.
The friends Of the American party
owe a duty to themselves to make an
effort to have their paper sustained by
q respectable subscription. There arc
many who willingly send of TO the
North the subscription price ofthr APP
peal for worthless, chaAy, Northern
iictions that are not worth the time
spent in reading them. 1t is full time
that the South should take the hint to
take care Of itself and let these sicl,Iy
frcesoil sheets circulate within their
own section.
1t is hoped that an effort will be made
to increase our subscription list, in
this county at least. Get up your
clubs and bring lhcm III, and we pledge
ourselves that the Appeal will i'm

so. And in order that it may be plac-
