VALUE OF CARRoTs Carrots are very
excellent fodder for horses that have
been long kept on highly carbonaceous
food, and whose digestive organs may
be out of order in consequence of their
constant activity in reducing meal and
oats into the elements OF animal nutri-
ton. With fair allowance of carrots,
ground oats, and sweet hay, a horse
will enjoy 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 fermenta-
tom, inducing diarrh@a or n lax,
washy state of the bowels. Carrots
furnish an acid called poetic, which pos
ssesses the curious property of gelatin
izing the watery contents of the diges
tive cavities. A few drops of poetic
acid will gelatinize both, and wher
mixed with the juice of an orapg'
changes the same into Jelly. SO tina
if the alvine discharges of horse ar,
watery, carrots can be used as valu
able therapeutic agent, both in view o
arresting the same, and restoring TIN
tone of the stomach and bowels. b
examining the excrements of hors
fed in part on carrots it will be foun,
to contain no undigested hay or oats
and therefore we may safely infer tina
they promote digestion, SO that by th
constant use Of carrots, less quantitie
of hay and oats will suffice than whe
a larger amount is consumed, and par
ed with in an undigested state Fc
fattening animals, carrots are exceed
ingly valuable. 1t will be urged tn,
carrots are not very nutritious
may be still if they possess the pro-
erty Of gelatinizing the contents of IL
stomach and bowels, they aid in Il
manufacture of lat out of other foo
which might otherwise pass out
the system. - Horse O,mer'S Ha

YJyHE UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN
/ COMMISSION would inform the patriotic,
the phanthropic and Christian men and women
of the country of it's work and its wants.
1t cares for the body and the soul, as did Christ
when on earth BY its delegates, who go with
ont pay and from love, hospital stores, home
comforts and reading matter are given directly
to those who need them, togeth with such
personal minstratons and religious instruction
az each case may require and the Gospel is
preached at every opportunity
In the hospitals, ON the battle-helds, and in
the camps of the strong and brave, the delegates
are welcomed by surgeons, officers and men, and
their abOrs have, in the Judgment of those
well-informed, saved thousands of lives, aud
been blessed to the conversion of thousands of
souls besides raising the morals of the army
and strengthening the links that bind the soldier
to his home.
| Ii has the confidence Of the Government and
all the facilities from it that military eXigencies
will allow
It's affairs are managed by business men who
! give their services. Railroads and kilograms
are free to IT,; the Bible Society gives its pubca-
tons; but religious reading matter must be pur-
chased, and the demand is far beyond the ability
of the Commission to meet il.
The irditfs OF The Commission are men 10 go a.
delegates: stores 10 be diS'ributedby Mem-niOnel
10 purchase reading matter.
The aim is to have no large balance in tn,
Treasury, but to do at all times what the curren
contributions shall allow, there being no exten
sive aud complicated system of agencies that
change would seriously affect.

On FINDINd FAULT Find fault, when
you must find fault, in private, if pos
sible, and some time after the offence,
rather than at the time. The blamed
are less inclined to resist when they are
blamed without witnesses. Both par
ties are calmer, and the accused person
may be struck with the forbearance Of
the accuser who has seen the fault, and
watched for a private and proper time
for mentioning it. Never be harsh or
unjust with your children or servants
Firmness, with gentleness of demeanor
and a regard to the feelings, constitute
that authority which is always respect
ed and valued If you have any cause
to complain of n servant, never speak
hastily wait, at all events, until you
/ have had time to reflect ON the nature
of the offence and if you must then
reprove, it will not be under the in
huence of anger.
