They have smart BOYS down in Albany.
One Of them, pupil in ono Of the city
schools, got off pleasant little conceit in
rhyme, the other day, as follows
The moon wss setting in cloud
Full hcdged in golden light,
A hatohinr out the little stare,
1 The chickens OF the night.
But out of all thatbrient brood,
Produced by Luna pale,
There was but one poorittle chick
That could display Al tail,
This might very appropriately como un-

FEEDING HoRsEs,-T'he practice of reg
ulating the food of horses by the amount of
work they are required to perform, is good
one if properly followed. For example, a
horse when lying comparatively idle, as in
winter, shonld have less solid food than
amid the hard work Of spring and summer.
Again, If horse is about to be put to a
work of extra labor, it is well to fortify him
for it with little extra feeding beforehand.
But the mistake we refer 20 is the practice
Of oyer-feeding him an hour or SO before
putting him to work. If an extra service
is required Of a horse, on any particular day,
and an extra feed is to be given him, let him
have it in the evening beforehand, rather
than in the morning an hour or two before
being put to work. Why soH Because, If
/ h., - ,,uf 10 ,,1rly 60 soov 81 op o,t;ro. he
food does not become digested, and he is
obliged to carry about with him large
mass of uudigested food, which is rather a
burden than a help to him. If ho is well
fed in the evening before, the food is assim-
lated changed to flesh and blood-and
sends health and ygor through all the sys-
tenn As general rule, working horse
should be fed regularly, both as to time and
the amount.
QuANTITY OF BLoop ~ HoRsE.-If we
assume the weight Of horse to be 1900
lbs, says the american Veterinary Jour
nal, the whole quantity of blood will
amount to 81 quarts, l68 lbs, of which
abont 45 quarts or 90 lbs, will flow from
the jugular vein previous to death although
the loss of much smaller quantity will
sometimes deprive the animal Of life.
Fences that have given way during the
winter, should he Immediately repaired. A
farm with poor fences is an eyesore to the
community.
The prospect of an abundant peach crop
in New England, is very good, notwith-
standing the severe winter which has been
experienced.
MoIsr BREAp-RroE FLouR-Tie up
one pound and half Of the best American
rice in thick linen bag, allowing ample
room to swell; boil it three or four hours
until it becomes a smooth paste, mix this
while warm with fourteen pounds of the
best wheat -four adding the usual quanti-
Ties Of yeast ard salt; allow the dough to
to work cortain time near the fire, after
which divide It into loavos. The flour
should be busted in, and most vigorously
kneaded. This quantity of rice and -four
has produced tweuty-six pounds of excel
lent bread which kept moist and sweet long
er than that made by the ordinary process.

FALL OF GRAVEL House.. About
o'clock on Monday morning last the two
story gravel dwelling house of Mr.. James
Mitehel, in Concord township. fell with a
Tremendous crash, demolishing tho furniture.
&c. The family made narrow eseape,
having fortunately abandoned the house the
evening preyioes ID consequence Of the
kitchen part giving way. This house was
but during the past season in the rsuai
manner Of constructing gravel houses, and
lis fall, under tho circumstances, viii doubt

ures. We have, however several gravel
buildiugs IN tosn, which have stood the
storms and rains Of several years, without
apparently iinpaglag their stability, The
loss Of Mr. Mitchell We understand, will not
fail short Of twelve handred dollars Ur.
