Bots in Horses.

Farmers, generally, have the idea
that the bots" with which they imagine
their horses are so frequently afflicted, is
a disease. And so deeply settled is the
conviction to the effect that it would,
perhaps, be hard to persuade some of
them that such is not the case, Here are
the remarks of the President of the Can
adian Agricultural Association, Baron
de Longuil, on the subject, in his Annual
Address:
In the latter part of Summer the CAD
fly may be observed very active about
the horse, darling with great rapidity to-
wards him and depositing its eggs on all
parts that can easily be reached by the
animal with his mouth. These eggs,
when licked by the horse, burst, and a
small worm escapes, which adheres to
the tongue, and is conveyed to the stom-
ach with the food; by means of a small
hook, it there clings with a very firm
hold to the cuticular coat of the organ,
and remains feeding on the mucus dur
ing the Winter and Spring, when hav-
ing attained considerable size, it becomes
detached, and is evacuated by the horse.
This being the true history of the bot,
you may perceive they can give the ami
NAL no pain, as they are fastened to the
insensible coat Of the stomach. They
cannot be injurious, as horse in the
highest heat may have his stomach filed
with them, and their presence not even
be suspected till they are evacuated
They cannot be moved by medicine
which it would be safe to give a horse,
because they are not in the part where
medicine could reach them, and if they
were, they have their mouths too deep
buried in the mucus for it to affect them.
And lastly, of the many hundreds of hor-
ses dissected at the Veterinary Colleges
in London and Paris, no horse has ever
yet been found injured by the Bots. The
wisest thing, therefore, in this case, is to
let the horse alone, and to allow the bots
to work off themselves.

Only a Pebble.

Only a pebble! o man that stone
which you cast so CONTEMPORARY away
is older than all else on earth. When
the waters under heaven were gathered
together unto one place, that pebble was
there. Who can tell US the story Of those
first days, when the earth was in sore
travail, when her heaving bosom belched
forth torrents of fire, vast avaianches of
kissing, seething water, and volrlms of
deadly vapors? When glowing. blazing
streams of lava threw bloody-red glare
on the silent, lifeless earth, and amidst a
trembling and laundering that shook the
armament, a thousand volcanoes at once
lifted their fiery heads, when out of. the
toaming waters there rose suddenly the
rocky foundations of firm land, and greet
ed the light that God had created? That
pebble was Life's first offering on earth.
The spirit of God moved on the waters
and life was breathed into the very gases
that were hid in the heart of the vapory
globe. They parted in love, they parted
in hate; they fed and they met. Atom
joined atom loving sisters kissed each
other, and this love, one great child Of
that Spirit on earth, brought forth its
first fruits, the pebble.-.Straa0 Leaves.

The New State of Minnesota,

-
a new state will shortly be added to
the Union. A bill is pending before
CONGRESS for the organization of State
Government in portion of Minnesota
Territory. The boundaries of the pro-
posed State are as follows: Beginning
at the Northwest corner of Iowa, thence
up the channel of the Big Sioux to its
head waters; thence north to Big Stone
Lake thence north to the head waters
Of the Red River of the North, and
thence following the main channel of that
stream to the boundary of the British pos
sessions at latitude 40 degrees, thence
east along said boundary to Lake Super
Tor thence south along the west boun-
dairy of Wisconsin to Iowa, and thence
west along the north line of Iowa to the
place of beginning. In other words, all
that part Of the present territory of Min
nesota east Of the Big Sioux and Red
River Of the North The new State
viii be $50 miles long from north to
south, and viii. average 250 miles wide
from east to west, viz 200 miles from
the Falls Of St. Croix at the narrowest
part 800 miles at the north and 250 at
the south line. The new State will con-
tain about 100000 square miles. The
residue of the present territory is to re-
main under the present territorial gov
eminent, and to be known as Ddcotah.
The eastern division contains nearly
the whole population of the territory,
which is believed to number 100000
souls at the present time. The increase
Of population is exceedingly rapid. The
new State viii very probably number
half million Of the census of 1861
No part 0 the West is receiving a more
intelligent or valuable class of emigrants
than Minnesota. When brought into
the Union it will, in all probability, be a
steadfast Republican State in politics,
and win send two good staunch Repub-
licans 10 the Senate. The climate is the
delight Of the New Englander-the soil
is exceedingly fertile-the beauty of the
natural scenery is not surpassed in any
portion Of the Union. The natural pro-
auctions embrace all the valuable grains,
grasses, vegetables and fruits grown in
Wisconsin. Thousands of the most
beautiful crystal lakes-large and small
are scattered over its surface, feeding
brooks, creeks and rivers. Water power
abounds IN every direction, and lumber
is comparatively abundant. Twenty
years hence, Minnesota will be gridironed
over with railroads, dotted with cities and
towns, and will hold upwards of two mill
lions Of sober, industrious, intelligent,
treedom-Ioying nhabitants.-- Chicago

HORSE RACING AT AGRICULTURAL
FAIRs.-After two days discussion,
the State Board of Agriculture have I'M
animously adopted a report on the sub
ject Of horse racing at Agricultural F airs.
The report was made by DR.. Bartlett, of
ATiddlesex County, and was signed by
himself, Mr.. Lewis, of NIiddlesex, and
Mr.. Brooks, of Worcester. The report
was accompanied by series of resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted
as follows
Resolved, That the Board of Agricul-
ture recommended to the various agricul-
tural societies to take such measures in
reference to the exhibition of horses at
their cattle shows as shall divest them of
all characteristics of the horse-race, and,
as far as possible, of all immoral tenden-
cies.
heS0tced, That IN the opinion OF the
Board the offering of premiums upon
equestrian exhibitions is a perversion of
the funds of the State-such exhibitions
being in no sense to be regarded as agri-
cultural products.
Resolved, That we recommend to the
several Agricultural Societies not to use
their trotting courses for fast horses
during the Cattle Shows, except when
ordered by the Committee on Horses.
RESOLVED, Thatit is not for the interest
of the farmer, or the breeder of horses,
at the various county cattle shows to coun-
tenance or allow in any trial of horses a
faster rate than a mile in four minutes,
the trial to be made singly, or in pairs
harnessed together and any horse driven
at a faster rate should, in the opinion OF
this Board, be ruled out in all premiums.

A Sad Business.

The government taxes of England,
ireland and Scotland for 1855 amounted
to fifty million pounds sterling, while the
expenditure for Intoxicating drinks and
tobacco, was the enormous sum of seven
ty-seyen and a half millions. 1t appears
from reliable Statistics, that the drinking
and tobacco taxes are more than half as
much again as the entire Government
taxation Of The United Kingdom twelve
times as much as the Poor Rates and
nearly eighty times the amount given to
the twelve largest Societies for promot-
ing the cause of religion and morality !;
since the annual income Of these Sooie-
ties is less than one million. Much is
said Of the liberality ofthe christian pub
lie Of England, and more might be said
in truth, bat what is 100000 for the
Bible Society; or 100000 for the
Wesleyan Missionary Society; or nearly
one million pounds contributed for the
various purposes of Christian benevo-
lence, when compared with the II I-2
millions Voluntarily expended for articles,
the entire disuse of which would be a real
benefit to the nation, instead of hurtful
privation ?
1t is doubtful whether better show
ing could be made, in the United States.

made in favor of benevolent enterprises

PRUSSIA AND SwITzERLAND.-The
New York Commercial justly remarks
that the most alarming aspect ofthe quar-
rel between Prussia and Switzerland, as
it now stands, is the probability that the
Emperor Napoleon will take part with
Prussia. If such combination should
take place, and England and Austria do
not actively intervene in behalf of the
Swiss, the prophetic lines of Bryon in his
Ode to Venice, 1919, may yet be fulfilled:
The name of commonwealth is past and gone,
Der the three fractions of the groaning globe;
Venice is crushed and Holland deigns to own
A sceptre, and endures the purple robe,
# the free SDitzer get bestriaes alone
lis ehGiHless mountains, It's but for a time
For tyranny oflate is cunning grown,
And in its own good season tranples down
The sparkles of our ashes.
