Bolts, botts-confound the hotts. In
one sense, surely, it is "the worm that ne
yer dieth;" for ten tinessa year some en-
pirical recipe-and stale at that-travels
the round of our agricultural exchanges,
for the infallible destruction of this viva-
cious creature. Would it not be as well to
ascertain whether the bott does injure the
horse before drenching him with all sorts
of nostrums-all more or less injurious and
absurd? For our part, we do not believe
that this worm Injuries him in the slightest
degree, and in this opinion We are sustain
ed by Youatt-the very highest veterinary
authority. We remember q discussion
among some artillery officers on this very
subject, in the month of March Just be-
fore the evauation Of Eentresille. Half q
dozen dead horses were opened and the
stonachs Of all of them were more OF

FALL AND wINrER, CARE OF STOCK.

FALL AND wINTER, CARE OF STOCK.
Simply feeding and watering stock during
thst'seasonof the year that they ere obliged
to be kept in yards and stalls, does not con-
stitute care |; and asa general thing our far
mers neglect to perform the simple butim-
portant duties which their farm stock requir.
es at their hands. Good feed and clean wa
ter are the two most prominent wants but
the good farmer viii not only provide those
he will have q warm and comfortable
stable; he will furnish geod bedding for
the cold nights of winter, and will bestow
each day faithful carding upon his stock,
all of which will amply repay him for the
time and care. thus expended. The use
afufness and value Of horses, and working
oxen Will also be greatly influenced BY the
treatment and kind of care which they
have bestowed upon thems by their owners.
Good care we do not now mean feeding,
will prolong the life Of animals, and it is in
fact the foundation of the science which we
term veterinary; for an animal receiving
kind care will, as matter, Of course, be
healthy and in good condition, while stock
which does not receive this, are In a. fair
way toebe diseased, and, not in q condition
to be thrifty. ..- ...-..- Il
/. Horses, perhaps, receive better attention
than other stock on the farm, and yet care
is often wanting in this matter. They are,
it is true, for the service of man, and are
o;ven him IN perform labor this labor does
not injure them if it is consistent and rea-
sonabie. It is the after care which tells on
their health and soundness. To drive a
horse several miles of q winter evening,
and then let him remain in the cold with.
out protection from the weather, is inhu-
man treatment; and to stable him after
such drive, withouta a good rubbing and a
warm bedding is also wrong. Let these
things be thoaghtof. 1.-THE merciful man man

the land was not his, for old security debts
claimed and obtained'a mortgage on that.
What did our young hero. for be is wor

he took his hands out of his pockets and
put them to the plough. By his individual
labor he planted and cultivated FIVE acres
Of cotton and fifteen Of corn, besides on acre
or two in popcorn .apd peanuts.
Work was hard for him at. frst-very
hard. As he told the writer: 81 thought
