10 man who has fine horses and wants to keer
them so. the subioincd hints are invaluable:

them so, the subjoincd hints are invaluable:
1t is one thing to know how to use horse, but
it is another thing to know how to take care Of
him. A stabbed horse needs special care and at
tention. His feeding must be as regular, as the
measurement Of the hours. When 4 change of
feed is made, it must bc done with great care
giving small allowance at first until the stomach
becomes usel to the Change. He must be cleaned
every day; and when we say cleaned, we mean all
that can be conveyed by that word A good cur
ry-comb, brush, and an oiled wooen cloth, arc the
utensils necessary First take the curry-comb,
and begin at the top of the neck back of the ears,
working the hand both ways. Proceed in this
way, till you have gone over the entire body and
legs Then take both comb and brush, and follow
the comb with the brush, and after every other
stroke, draw the brush across the teeth Of the
comb, to clean it. An experienced groom will do
this instantaneousy. This done, take your cloth
and lay the coat, and remove the dust which ad
heres to the outside. The face and ears must also
feel the brush.
Few men know how to clean a horse properly.
If the above directions are followed, daily, your
horses will enjoy good health generally Stabbed
horses must be exercised daily This is absolute
ly essential to good health. If the feet of your
horse are BRITTLE and liable to break and crack
they must he oiled, once week. horse thus
treated, will always be ready to 60 when wanted
and you will not be ashamed either to ride, or
drive him.
Another thing quite as important, is clean and
well ventilated stable We cannot excuse any
farmer, or herse owner, who does not clean his
stables twice day. 4 stable should be so con-
strScted, as to have wide passage-way or floor
in front, to feed from. Above the manger space
should be ett q foot or two in width, clear and
the passage-way should he the avenue for the syp-
ply of fresh air to the nostrils of the horse |
A horse enjoys good bed, and it should never
be refused him. At night, take your fork and
make it up light, and you will feel amply reward
ed for the humane treatment you have given your
beast,
Every word of it the truth. We would not only
have better horses, but We really would be better
men, if We attended to such instructions as these

DEFENDING TIGE SourlG The New Orleans
Bulletin suggests the following method OF de-
Tending the South: "Thc best way Of defend
ing the rights Of the South," tic Bulletin says,
is to make vigorous and extended assault up
on old fields and dilapidated fences. The ene-
my is sure to enter at every gap and lilo con-
cealed in every brier patch and acre of weeds
he may discover. To rout him, horse, foot and
dragons, it is necessary to set the plough and
the spade going and then to overwhelm linn with
mountains of manure. Nothing like manure
for the rights of the South, and the expulsion
of its enemies. They can't stand it a; all. The
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, arc nothing
in comparison with it. They may be attacked
in front and rear, and terribly shattered; but
muck from the swamps and locp plowing, with
plenty of it, will prove invulncrable. Cotton
bales are but gossamcr in potency, placed be-
side heaps Of muck.
