The colt, calf, or lamb, to be dropped in
Spring, will be of greater yalue if the
dam be well cared for now. Il is well
at this season to inquire whether the
breeds of animals now kept, are most
profitable, and how improved blood may
be introduced. If a colt from one stall
lion be worth $50 more at birth than
one from another, will it not pay to give
SO more for the use of the former? The
breeding and raising of horse worth
$50 costs no more than for one worth
only So when grown. The same hints
apply to other amin ais. ~ word to the

gallons of Sulpourie acid, (oil of vitriol)

to the distance from the manufactory,-
Then put in and punch down with a stick
all the bones the fluid will cover, Or
even more. If the bones are closely
packed, the fluid will rise to the top of
the cask. Leave them to soak J or :
weeks, stirring them well, and punching
them down every thtee OF four days, and

Suggestions for February.

Fruit stored in the cellar or fruit room,
should be looked over. and dccaying spcci-
mems removed. Carry that required fol
the table to warm room to ripen off a
few days before it is needed
PRuNING.--Winter pruningis generally
abandoned by good orchardists. The
wounds made now are exposed to the
weather, and do not heal over as readily
as when it is done in early summer.
PogAToEs.-Those intended for seed
should be kept cool in order to prevent
their starting. Though those from which
the sprouts have been rubbed will throw
out others and grow, yet there Is 10 doubt
that the first crop of sPouts will give the
most vigorous plants In some places the
potatoes have rotte1. II troubled in this
way, procure seed from localities free from
disease. Many farmers only plant one
sort and that late one. y few bushels
of an early kind always meet with a ready
sale, to say nothing of the luxury of hav-
ing them upon the table in July. The
seed can be looked after at this season.
HoRsEs-Good shoeing is important
There are plenty of blaeksmiths, but very
few skilful horse-shoers. There should
be schools of instruction on horse-shoenc.
An acquaintance Of ours, bought horse
very chealpy BECAUSE she appeared to be
tender footed, and was slightly troubled
with the "heayes." He took her to an
other blacksmith who had skill enough
to charge the form of the shoe on the
lame foot ana instead of using long dry
hay, he cut and wet all her food. For a
year past she has not whezel or limpea,
and being just the horse wanted among 4
family of children she is worth $50, per-
haps 500, more than when purchased.

LETITrA ELLEN L1rTREL, who departed this
life ON the night of the 31st December, 1862, was
the daughter of Mr. Wm A. and Mrs. Mary Lit
trel, Of Sullivan county, Tenn. She had lived
with her grand father, Mr.. James Ireson, senr.,
near four years prior to her death, and the week
OF her death, arrangements were made for her
return to her father. She visited her uncle j.
'. Hagy, where she was taken sick, and died in
less than forty-eight hours after her attack.
Letitia was early reigous.y impressed, and
from childhood, was much devoted to the study
OF the scriptures-the latter months of her life
were given more particularly to this study. She
was child of great amiability of character, and
she drew around her the affections of old and
young, and very particularly was she endeared
to her grandparents, under the shadow of whose
protecting care the last four years of her life
were spent.
She lacked six days of being II years Of age.
Though she has passed awhy so young, she lived
to purpose, as the impress of her fond and de-
voted nature has told upon the characters Of
those left behind. She has been taken from the
evils to come, and it is hoped that those of ma
turer years, who still remain, may be wise as she
to make proper improvement of the time that
is yet allotted them. B.

In their late expeditions, Morgan, in his
quiet travels, captured 1000 prisoners. For
rest, while in West Tennessee, only caught
1900. Forrest must feel badly about it. But
then it seems that Forrest beaded Mogan in

He slew and knocked up nearly HOO. Nor
gan must be better natured man than For
rest. Both these high pressure Generals have
a wonderful faculty for providing for their
men at the cost of Secretary Chase. If pay

many valuable officers, and the rest of the
troops were at last accounts again on board
the transports, in no condition to renew the
engagement. q
