Mnrsrs Too well Fed.

The following remarks Of n Skiltul
practitioner and close observer, are wor-
thy Of attention. DIR, Dadd has been,
however. more unifornly fortunate IN the
horses which have passed before his eyes
than some others. Horses are often over
fed with grain, but we never knew one to
eat too much hay or grass, when II was
supplied regularly. They are rarely at
tackled with disease when little or no grain
is given them /; or il given, when supplied
in small and regular quantities.
A grea, proportion Of our horses are
too well fed--obtain more food than they
require, In this land Of plenty, most OF
our valuable horses are over fed, and
more especially does this happen among
animals owned by wealthy aud liberal IN
dividuals. The impression we wish to
convey 10 the mind Of the reader is, that
the food Of such, is not proportioned to
labor-in other words, there exists a dis
proportion between the amount of carbon
taken in the form Of food, and the oxygen
received in the process of respiration.
Now to illustrate this, we will suppose
that a man engaged in mercantile pur-
suits, owns one or more horses, he has
not the time nor inclination to give the
one or the other the necessary amount OF
exercise; they stand up TO a full CRIB,
from day to day; e~njoying-or rather,
gorginC themselves with a certain amount
of fodder, over and above what they ac-
tually require, and much more than they
really need; the surplus is often stored
up in the form Of fat, and this induces
acute diseases, and they die Of too much
food and care. 1t is very rare that we
have occasion to recommend a man tc
feed his horse more literally, but almost
ALWAYS the reverse. Starvation is said tC
be the cause for many equine diseases
but so far as our experience goes, sucf
cases are. in this country, very rare. We
conceive the term starvation to DO n llbe
upon civilization; and so unfrequent IL
its application among a nation of husband
men, that it is omitted in our dictionaries
A man on n barren rock, or Il horse il
the deserts of Arabia, might probabl!
s,arve, but the idea of the latter starving
in the vicinity of a well-stocked barn Of
stable-within striking distance of n LAM
of plenty-seems to us n very absurC
conclusion.
There are enough horses to be founc
dressed up in the garb of starvation
having tight skins, prominent ribs, ant
cadaverous countenance, living, yet hal
dead. But they know nothing of tn,
famine in Egypt" they get enough
but too much of the same kind.-[Daddi

Tartar sheen.

This variety of Sheep, imported from
China into the United States within the
last five years, some of which were exhibit
ted at the late u. S. Fair, are beginning
to attract a,tention-not from any particu.
lar value attached to their product of wool
but from their being a singularly prolific
breed. An eve has been known to drop
as many as five lambs at n birth, and iif-
teen in the space of sixteen months. For
the shambles they are said to be excellent.
They are claimed, also, TO be of good
size, fatten easily and mature rapidly
In the present high price of mutton, such
n breed would seem to be especially valu'
able and desirable at least we shall Sool
have an opportunity of knowing to wha
extent.

Requests to Harvard College.

We are gratiied to learn that by a
provision of the will of the late DIR. Henry
Wales, the library of Harvard College
has, within the last month, become posses
sed of a collection of books, perhaps the
most splendid that was ever, at any one
time, added to its stores. These volumes
about fourteen hundred in number, were
for the most part, purchased by the tesla
tor while residing in Europe. They IN
clnde nam specimens of magnificent
typography, and are almost all clothed in
elegant bindings. The fastidious tastes o.
a book lover were freely INDUCED in their
selection and adornment, but the claims of
utility were not the less borne in mind.
The ~yotaries of Sanskrit, German and
Italian literature, will find among them
many volumes equally costly and indls-
pensable. Most valuable of all are those
which bear upon the ancient language and
poetry of Hindostan. DIR. Wales was
himself n Jealous student of Sanskrit, and
the apparatus he had accumulated for the
pursuit of that attractive, though here
neglected department Of learning, leaves
little to be desired. After the Indian,
the Italian books are the most remarkable.
Among them are very numerous editions
of Dante, Petrarch, Tasso, and Boccaccio,
and a considerable number of the finest
productions Of the Bodoni press-master'
pieces of the printers art-too well known
, to connisSeurs to require special notice
To these are to be added the finest editions
, of the great modern writers of Germany
and the most necessary volumes on tn
A earlier poetry of that country, many Latin
q Greek, ond Romaic books, and a few ex
p%ensive illustrative works, like Gamma
Roman edifces, and Inghirami's Etruscal
Monuments. All these form, as we hav
said, n of the richest collections as re
markable for practical usefulness as 70
II beauty and finish. 1t is intended that til
whole shall be kept together, and place
in a conspicuous position in Gore Hall.

warm Stabling.

We do not think that, as a rule, farm
ers appreciate sufficiently the advantages
of warm stabling for their animals of all
kinds. Just in proportion as stock is ox-
posed to the rigors of winter, nus their
allotment Of food be increased. A cow
will require nearly double the quantity of
food to keep up the natural warmth of
the system, in badly-protected stables,
that others will which are duly cared for.
So it is with all descriptions of animals.

should always be taken to have stables
well ventilated. Mich cows should par
ticularly have clean, well-littered, warn
stalls, with daily messes of succulen
food. They should also be frequent.
curried, have salt two or three times
week, and pure water to drink. Tn
extra care bestowed will be doubly repai,
in the extra supply of milk and butter, t
say nothing of the health and appearance
of the cattle.

Vinegar.

This article is one of the most necessa-
~, and yet we rarely find it of good, or
even passable quality. BY following the
rules laid down in the following recipe,
which l have pursued for many years, any
one may make the article on his own
premises:-"To eight gallons of clear
rain water, add three quarts of molasses.
put into a good cask, shake well a few
times, then add two or three spoonfulls OF
good yeast cakes. If in summer, place
the cask in the sun if in winter, neal
the chimney, where it may be warm. In
ten or fifteen days, add to the liquor q
sheet of brown paper, torn in strips, dip.
ped in molasses, and good vinegar will
be produced. The paper will, in thi;
way, form what is called the mother Of
life of vinegar"

The Concord Grape.

Some three or four years ago this new
grape was brought to light at or near
Concord, in Connecticut-lf we are not
mistaken; and for a year it created quite
a ~furore among fruit-growers in the East.
But it was o o discovered hat it did moi
deserve near all the credit which il received
principally from those who were interested
in its cultivation and sale at five dollars a
vine.-What made it, however, an object
of attention in the latitude of New England
was the very important fact that it ripened
from ten days to two weeks earlier than
other varieties. 1t has by this time been
fairly tested, and it prove to be a grape
about equal in size and quality to the Isa-
bella. 1t now sells at one dollar a vine,
with the sale principally confined to New.
England, where, for the reason Jus, men.
toned, it is Of more value than in warmel
attitudes.

The Election is past, and it's result proves
that the work deYolved on the Republican

New England, New York, Ohio and the North
West, the Republican banner floats in tri-

the. People are against us, but because that
