Breaking Colts,

The importance of Attending to this busl-
ness properly is daily seen in the vicious ac-
tions Of half tie horses that arc brought to
market. Some are unwilling to go-and
some viii not stop. Some kick, and others
bite. Someso numerous sights while tray
cling and run AMY from the driver; while
others are unwilling to run or hot Many
horses hay.ncyor been taught to stop except
when The rein is drawn hard. They have
never learned the difference between go, and
whoa Therefore when q rein fails, the dri-
yer has 10 means Of stopping his beast
Horses, or rather colts, soon learn under a
good master; and the best time to put on a
halter Is when the colt is with his mother
He should first be taught that the halter is
stronger than he is. When this IS fairly done
a small rope will hold him. But if he breaks
away on the first trial Of his strength in pull
ling back he will never forget his feat, but
will pail, and pull again, though he may see
that he is now tied with cart rope.
This is because his memory is better than
his judgment. He cannot well distinguish
between the size of his first small halter anC
the large rope that now hold him. He vii
only recollect that he has broken one halter
aud he supposes he can break any other.

Mincing too Fine.

A friend told US, last week. Of an acQuain
lance near him, who was by birth an English
man. He was very nice aud particular in
the preparation of his manurcs. He had
heap, BY the road side, and after adding to
it meadow mud and various other matters, be
rcgcatedly oyorhaued his heap SO that at
planting time it was as fine as meal or saw.
dust.
The Engishman used this on his corn
field and it gave his corn a very carly start.
No field in the vi, Unity looked so well through
the mon.hs Of May and Juno yet at har-
vest he had bat very small crop of corn
the ears were short and not well filed No
doubt he had minced too much and worn
array n large part of his manure before his
corn could come in contact with it.
So when the manure is put into the hills
the strength is often spent in making corn
stalks instead of corn. When manure is
used in the hills, and also broadcast the la.
Dor of planting is doubled, and we are wont
to complain that the raising of corn is an
Improbable business that we can buy cheap.

Day FooD ror HoGs.-A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman says; Many
hogs are kept comparatively poor by the high
diluton Of their food. They take inso much
water that there is not room Tor good supply
oil nutrimcnt. Hence the reason that those
farmers who carefully feed undi2ated sour
milk to their hogs have SO much finer animals
than those who give them sop. The hog has
not room for much water; and if food which
contains much is led to him, il makes him
big belled, but royo" . -. as well as a
other animals, should be allowed all the water
they will drink, but it should not be mixed
with their food in excessive quantity the
hog should lot be oJliged to take more water
than he wants in order to get the food he re-
