WINTERING YOUNG STOCK.

We extract the following from commu-
nication Of = practical farmer, addressed TO
the Marx Lane Express
"Of all the departments Of management
connected with the breeding of cattle. few
give the breeder so much anxiety as the
rearing and subsequent care OF his young
stock. This is peculiarly the case 10 dis.

DIFFICULTY OF DIsTIEeUIsHIEG a PLANT
FROM AN ANIMAL more naturalists
know of the plants and animals of the globe,
the more difficult have they found it to dis
tinguish one from the other. Among the
little organisms which are invisible TO the
naked eye. there are large numbers about
the character of which there has long been
a fierce dispute. they being claimed by the
botanists as plants and by the biologists as
animals. Many of the plants in certain
stages of their growth, swim about il the
water and look and act so nearly like ami
mails that they would probably have always
been classed rs such had they not been
observed to branch out and grow up into
perfect plants. There is no single charac-
ter by which the animal or vegetable nature
of an organism can be tested; but the safest
guide in the doubtful cases IS furnished by
the mode in which the nourishment is Ia
ken. Animals are nourished by organic
matter, which they take in some way into
the interior of their bodies while vegeta-
bles have the power of absorbing their food
from inorganic elements on the exterior.
