YoUNG CoLrs.-Many colts are lost for
want of care before they are week old,

attention Often the mare has been poorly
kept and worked hard, and the colt is of ne

feet rest for both the mare and foal, will usu-
ally be all that is required. If, however, the
toal be weak and thin and especially if after
the first week he does not seem to improve,
and his knees and ankles seem feeble and tot
tering, examine his mouth and see if his teeth
are all cut, The colt, when foaled, should
have eight front teeth, four above ard four
below. If these are not all through the
gums, he cannot suck we'll, as the gums are
inAamed and sore. Cut the gums with
sharp pen knife, and the animal will improve

with the intention to enslaye them" The
philosophy of the proceeding is asserted to
be, by Bishop Pierce, that the South Church
maintains that slavery is not a subject of &C.
