CTrzENs--Drink good water and you
will be healthy. The reason why Best u
Highlands Filter is better than any other, is
that it contains more iltcring material than
any other now in use. The water filters
through bone or animal coal, which ispro-
nounced by physicians to possess more
healthy qualities than any other filtering
material. 1t also filters through sand and
charcoal, the sand being as clear and pure
as nature can produce. It is the neatest
and handsomest filter now before the pub

BREAKING CoLTs.-I am strongly opposed,
both in principle and practice, to ''breaking
colts. that is, allowing them to attain the
age of two ormore years before they are
taken i'm hand for learning the principles
which are to form so important a part in
future life. There should be no "breaking''
about it. The education should begin as
soon as the colt is born, and, ifproperly at
with halter should be his first lesson, and
the sooner he learns it the shorter the strug-
gle and the more permanent the lesson
never give him a chance to break loose, for
once done he will remember it long time,
and, il the lesson be too often repeated, he
will make aprofcient in this not desirable

PLANT PoTAToEs.--Itiss somewhat strange
TO us that the high price ofpotatoes for some
years has not induced farmers TO cultivate
them more extensively. Potatoes are
profitable as a crop at fifty cents bushel.
We have heard of farmer on a tract of
l0lS acres, who raised, year before last,
1,056 bushels ofpotatoes, which he sold for
Sl,338 cash. Many farmer will ioil and
fret and sweat, in cultiyating 800 acre farm,
with the hope of realizing large yield and
corresponding return of money and Is
often doomed TO disappointment.
The Daily empire. (Dayton, Ohio) 1865-1867, 1866-05-09

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.-Itis worth
while for farmers, everywhere, to remem-
ber that thorough culture is better than
three mortgages on their farm.
That an offensive war against weeds is Eve
times less expensive than defensive one.
That good fences always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is great deal cheaper made Ia
summer than in winter.
That more stock perish from famine
than founder.
That scrimping the feed offattening hogs
is waste of grain. gIdl
That over-fed fowlswon't lay eggs.

ex-Treasurer of State, for embezzlement of
the public moneys, were quashed at the
present term of the court. The defendant
was held on his own personal recognizance
without security, in the sum, not of $1,000,
as has been stated, but of $4,000, TO answer
the charge of embezzlement at the next
term of Court. The Columbus Statesman
says, that, at the time he entered into his
recognizance, something being said about
security, Judge Bates remarked that the
Doctors personal recognizanee was sufli-
cient, and that If he (the judge were of

there was no such necessity at all.
