VALUE or CARRoTs.-Carrots are
very excellent fodder for horses
that have been long kept on highly
carbonaceous food, and whose diges-
tive organs may be out of order in
consequence of their constant actiy-
ity in reducing meal and oats into the
clements of animal nutrition. With
a fair allowance Of carrots, ground
oats, and sweet hay, horse will en-
ioy good health, and spirits, have
loose hide, shining coat and healthy
lungs. A daily allowance of carrots
should always be furnished to horses
the subjects of Indigestion, whose
food often runs into fermentation, in
duciur diarrhea, ora lax, washy state
of the bowels. Carrots furnish an
acid called poetic, which possesses
the curious property of gclatinizing
the watery contents Of the digestive
cavities. 4 few drops ofpectic acid
will gelatinize both, and when mixed
with the Juice Of an orange changes
the same into jelly. So that if the
alvine discharges ofa horse are wat
erv. carrots can be used as a yalua-
BILE therapeutic agent, both in view Of
arresting the same, and restoring the
tone of the stomach and bowels
By examining the eXcrements OF a
horse fed in part on carrots it will
be found to contain no undigcsted
hay or oats, and therefore we may
safely infer that they promote diges-
ton, 50 that by the constant use of
carrots, less quantities Of hay and
oats will suffice than when a larger
amount is consumed, and parted with
in an undigested state. For latten-
ing animals, carrots are exceedingly
valuable. 1t will be urged that car
rots are not very nutritious may be
still, if they possess the property of
gclatinizing t h e contents oft h e
stomach and bowels, they aid in the
manufacture of fat out of other food,
which might otherwise pass out of
tie system.--Horse O,oner's Hand

Father dressed and in his right
mind; erect, grave, handsome. Fa-
ther bringing something for Mrs.
Clarke--bringing the foundations OF
the new life to build on the ruins OF
the old. Bringing a heart purged
of its base affections, loving, and
tender, and true once more; bring
ing good news on this rarest of all
happy Christmas days.
o! what happy meeting it was !
How Mary, for very happiness, Sob
bed on his breast! and Edgar clung
to him, holding his face against his
shoulder, and bedewing the new
broadcloth with tears. And what a
feast it was 1t seemed as if the
sad-hearted wife had suddenly grown
young and beautiful, while Edgar
lost his restless, care-wOrn | o o k.
Nor did they forget their poor neigh
Dor below stairs, for Mary shared
her bounties with them, and little
hungry children laughed over full
plates that day if they went without
week after. Christmas day is COM
ing a again, and it will find Mary
Clarke in a neat homc-Edgar fine,
manly, well dressed boy, and Tom
Clarke sober, industrious man.
Let us hope that many, many others
look forward with unclouded faces
to as blessed a season as Mary
Clarke's Christmas day.

Cold Water.
By CARRIE E. RICHARDSON.


Cold water-pure water away with champagne,
The charms of the spoiler are brandished in
vain,
While a nectar far sweeter than Jupiter sips,
We raise from its fountain and press to our lips.
Cold water-pure water! wine blushes for shame
To know with its presence what wretchedness
came.
Then water the thirst of the millions shall slake,
lis clear as the crystal from which they par
take.
From this wonderful treasure,
This source Of rich pleasure,
This Joy beyond measure,
''Here's a health to you all"
Cold water--pure water! hence brandy and
Your bane for each blessing shall never more
come;
For we'll break the strong fetters which bind
with ban,
While flows for the taking this blessing to man.
Cold water--purc water no porter, no beeri
The Thought of their presence would mar our
good cheer
For we sing of cold water the nectar Of life,
Which brings no dissenson and wakens no strife.
From this wonderful treasure,
This source of rich pleasure,
This Joy beyond measure,
"Here's health to you ALL
Cold water--pure water bid toddy retreat,
While we sing Of the water which flows at our
feet;
For il brings no disaster, no want and no woe,
But crowns US with blessings wherever we go.
Cold water-pure water no whiskey, no gin;
OF the reign Of these tyrants we'll say, sit has
been"
Then cease to discard-Do you ask where our
bliss
We point to cold water and answer" It's this
From this wonderful treasure,
This source OF rich pleasure,
This Joy beyond measure,
Heres a health to you ALL"
Cold water-pure water thrice welcome our
fr nd,
Bring nealth, wealth and plenty till life have an
end;
No widow shall viewthee, then mournfully sigh,
Alas for the temptcr alas thou vast nigh
No orphan upbraid thee, or bitterly moan,
All me for thy presence how weep alone!
Cold water-pure water! what blessings are
thine;
What joy dost thou bring us, what peace half
divine!
From this wonderful treasure,
This source of rich pleasure,
This Joy beyond measure,
Here's health to you all

Bi Monthly Agricultural Report

The leading article ofthe bi-month-
ly report for March and April, of
the agricultural department, shows
the character of the plans adopted
i'm Great Britain, Prussia and the
United States to estimate and report
speedily the amount and condition
of the crops. The most interesting
table printed is one that exhibits
the amount of farm stock in January
last compared with the amount in
1859, as returned in the census of
1860. This table exhibits an actual
decrease, in the loyal states, of horses,
mules and hogs, very small Increase
of cattle, a larger increase of cows,
and q very great increase Of sheep,
which will be increased to 30,000,-
900 by the lambs this spring, num-
Der nearly double that in 1859
The report points out the strong in
ducements that farmers have to in
crease all kinds of stock that are
thus rapidly falling off. The de-
crease in hogs is 1928. This is an
important fact to provision dealers
and farmers, for it shows that but
few hogs, if any, were kept over, on
account of the loss Of the corn crop,
5 has generally been believed
The condition Of hog-raiSing from
1860 to this time is examined, and
the opinion given that if there had
even been a good corn crop, there
would have been a decrease in the
number of hogs packed. The num-
Der Of fattening cattle is thirty per
cent. less than last year in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan,
twenty-five per cent. less in New
York, Iowa and Illinois, and twenty
per cent. less in Missouri and Wis
consin. The general decrease s
nearly thirty per cent. The condi-
ton of nearly all stock is below the
usual spring average, especially Of
hogs, but sheep are in excellent or
der, having received more than ordi-
nary attention. Hence the yield of
wool a head will be as much as usual.
The condition Of wheat and other
crops sown last fall is represented
| a indicating a largely decreased
product from the crop of last year,
| but it is hoped that they have i'm
proved from the recent rain, and
since the returns of the correspon-
dence were sent in, which was on the
1st of April. The dryness of Feb
ruary and March retarded the usual
growth in these months. 1t is be-
Ilieved that the production of maple
sugar and molasses will be unusually
large, as the preparation for it were
greater than usual. Bees b a V e
suffered much during the winter
The usual amount of statistics, show
ing the trade in agricultural products
ar C given, and the meteorological
part of the report, prepared at the
Smithsonian Institute, is very full
and completely exhibits the pheno.
mena attending the remarkable cold
storms of h past winter. The
rains have been heavy and general
retarding much the putting in o
lspring wheat and other crops, but
whether the amount put in will be
materially lessened in consequence
cannot now be known.

LONG AND SHORT HAIR.-Many
customs have prevailed among the
fair sex respecting the mode Of ar
ranging the hair, and they have a
right to adopt a variety of changes
but cutting the hair short and wear
ING it like boys is not commendable.
Men have at different times worn the
hair long. This has ever been con
demned as an unscriptral custom.
In the days of Charles the First of
England, the Cavaliers who despised
close religious forms, wore long hair,
while the Puritans cut theirs short,
and were called ground heads. 1t
has been calculated that by continual
cutting and shaving of the hair about
seven feet in length is removed from
a man in twenty-five years. Some
writer's assert, that the practice OF
close cutting and shaving tends to
weaken the body. Such writers
draw an argument from Samson, who
when all unshorn, slew several thou
sand Philistines with the jaw bone
of an ass.

A tree was recently cut down in
California, t h c circumference of
which was ninety feet and its height
three hundred and fifty feet. The
bark was in some places four feet
thick. The tree combined two hun
dred and fifty thousand feet of tim

three thousand one hundred years.
The wood was sound and very solid.
