Carrots for Horses better than Medicine.


A correspondent of the Country Gentlemen
relates his experience thus:
have never fed carrots to one year old colt
bst have fed carrots to colts aud horses from two
to twenty years old, and have always found them
Of ines;imable value when given with other food
have given but one kind Of food to horse for
more than one or two weeks in succession; and
a tar - my experience goes. think it impossible
to keep horse in good condition without chang
ing his food from time to time, and keeping his
bowels free BY carrots or bran mashes.
The chief value of carrots seems to me to be
their slightly laxative properties and their magi-
cal effect on tho skin and hair, together with
their fattenng properties; moreover their judi.
ciOus use otssntines prevents the application of
those terrible cOncectiOns called ''horse medi.
cine" which the ignorant owner of horse 10
often prevailed upon to give fos the slightest dis.
ease.
Writing about "horse medicine reminds me
Of dose which heard man say he gave to q
horse for collie. This internal dose consisted Of
one pint Of whiskey, one paper chewing tobac-
co, and handful Of black pepper and gill OF
lamp oil. Strange to cay, the horse recovered,
but ~ the ownor semasksd, sSemsA "rather
shaky" for q few days.
And now, il any OF the readers Of your admi.
rable paper have horse attacked with colo, let
them give him . quart of warm fax seed tea,
with one or two table spoonfus Of caraway seeds
in it, and see if the remedy has not q good eff.
feet; but let them not forget to warm the ex.
tremities by hand and flannel rubbing, endeavor.
ing TO remove that deadly chill which % often
accompanies those attacks. If they have to EN-.
ploy veterinary surgeon, let them stand over
him with DR.. Oadd in one hand and Youats in
the other unless they feel sure that the title Of
veterinary surgeon was honestly gottsa-not
picked up.
Bat am forgetting al about carrots. In
keeping horses in that whole condition % necet.
sary tor work either upon the road or farm, car
rots are with me indispensable, and would -
soon think OF keeping horses all winter without
carrots OF bran, IS would Of keeping them on
either hay or grain alone.
In summer, little grass now and then can
take their place. Il is my aim to bring horses
eat in The spring in good condition, not needing,
ii they ever do, bleeding or dose Of phyeic-
With this end in view, have alvsys fed from
two to six quarts Of washed and sliced carrots at
noon, and innine eases out Of ten have accom-
plished my end" --.,,s ..,,st.

powers. always make very heavy demands
on the peace establishment of England
Again, since the press gang system was
abolished. England always experiences a
great difficulty in manning her vessels
when ordered for active service The Brit
ish admiralty had six months to prepare for
the Baltic campsign in TIE Russian war,
and yet its commander. Admiral Napier,
himself, afterwards declared that. though
few in point of numbers, never. perhaps,
had finer ships left our shores; yet never
before had a squadron sailed so deploraJiy
manned" This difficulty continued until
1850. when the Queen by express procla-
nation offered high bounty for able sea-
men; but. if accounts which have reached
us are correct, with no great effect. In the
power of speedily and effectively manning
its vessels. the United States is far superior
to England.

that it was in consequence Of Gen. Pope's
advance and of Prices fear that Q

fest. and it was surprising to see how ca
gerly they all took their places in line.
and how anxiously every eye beamed in
prospect of fight The sick and :atigued
men felt no pain. offered no excuses OF in
ability, but all. with the energy and
activity of experienced soldiers, rallied in
moment to do battle for their country's
cause Our Division moved rapidly to the
bank of Green river and were preparing 10
ford the stream. when messenger arrived
from the battle field with the intelligence
that Buckner's men had made precipi-
! tate retreat. when the order was immedi-
ately given to return to camp. The fight
took place short dis,an, from the bank
of the river, which was held by Col. Will
lich's 32d Ind. Reg't.. and on the line of
the Nashville Rail Road 1t was bloody
engagement of but short duration and cost
the 32d some valuable lives. The rebels,
however. paid more dearly for their attack
upon the brave Germans who are too we'll
drilled aud officered to be easily overcome.
We are hourly expecting another attack,
and will advance on them if they de-
lay too long. The completion OF the
rail road bridge over the river will be the
signal for our advance, and it is expected
to be in readiness in few days. This
bridge is one of the finest structures in the
State. of which you and your readers have
doubtless heard. so that shall refrain
from any description Of it. s
The country here is hilly. broken. and
affords painful subsistence to those who
have the courage or energy to farm it,
The soil is thin and poor for limestone
land. but this rocky formation lays SO neal
the surface as to give but scanty subsis
tence to vegetation. Chestnn. and dwar
oak are the only varieties of timber cover
ing the hills, and the river bottom being
hemmed with abrupt abutments Of precip
itous rocks. so that but little room is lef
for the few poplars. sugars and buttonwoot
which line the banks Of the stream.
The name of the river was fairly derived
from the color of the wafer. which flow.

The village of Munfordsvile is small

The buildings are chiefly Of brick. contain

churches. The village was settled eight,
