cit would be curious to compute how

the sad loss that the destruction to crops

there is no sure way 10 farming, except
the very best way.
ANY man of experience will readily
acknowledge that the reason why he has
not grown rich faster, is not that he ha:
not worked hard and done his best K

made in one season by good luck has beer
too often swept away the next season by
bad luck. It is precisely this element o

WEAVING Colts.

AT four months old, colts are general
" weaned, and this is among the most
important periods in their lives.
Ordinarily while nursing, if the food of
both the mare and the colt has been good,
the latter is fat. The point is to take from
the colt 10 inconsidersble part of its
nOurishment, and still have it retain its
flesh, and, What is better, its health. To
accomplish this, some preparatory steps
must have been taken. Colts love com
pany. They get accustomed to that of
their mother, and if suddenly deprived
of it will pine more or less. To obviate
this difficulty, we have known breeders
for four weeks before weaving to turn the
colt into an enclosure with spring calf,
or even cosset sheep, and not unfre
quently g lone buck, whose isolation
from the f0ck will dispose him TO respond
TO the overtures of the colt at once.
This company will pacify him in the
occasional absence OF the mother, and
prepare for final and complete separation.
When that time comes, it is always best
to take the mother sway from home, or
entirely out Of sight and hearing. If she
is within reach of eyes or ears, the sug
geeti0n of loss will DE ofterer made than
if only the appetite calls it up; and this
latter can be in some sense satisfied by an
extra allowance of what the colt has
| learned to love best.
The best place to keep the colt for the
| first three days is on an ample barn floor
| well covered with Old hay, and so pro-
lected that there will be no chance for tee
| colt to get its feet into crevices or other
wise receive injury.
He should be fed with the very best
food that the season will admit of-grass
with little meal irter,aixed; a handful
of cats for change; water always handy,
| into which he can dip his nose fifty times
g day; and Whist is of equal importance
he must have his new-made companion
the calf or the ram, to smell of, play with
and, III bis colt way, talk 10.
From four to seven days will be ample
to partially wean him. He can then bt
turned into an enclosure with his com
panY, which shall afford him larger space
beth for exercise and in which to Obtain
food. The field where he is placed should
| be surrounded with a most, substantial
fence : at least enc SO high that the
| thought of scaling it Will never enter th'
mind of the colt.
Besides, ne should be visited by tn.
owner, or some one to whom he has be
come accustomed, a dozen times aday, an(
should be always givep come little dainty
at each visit, besides words full Of soothing
and caresses, which he will mot keenly
appreciate. Ia two weeks the crisis vii

Trust What Time Has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony of honest and en-
lighter ed witnesses extending through series OF
years, and ell to the came purport, is worthy of
credence, admits Of no question. Upon such tes-
timony the reputation CT Hostetter's Stcmsch
Bitters as an antidotc and cure for many ailments
is based. During ire twenty years that it has
been before the word innunerable preparations
intended TO compete with it have gone up like
rockets, and come down the exiinguishedssticks.
Meanwhile the progress OF that Incompatible
tonic has bsen swift and steady-alEays upward
and onward Ike the eagles fight. Its introduc-
ton produced revolution in therapeutics, and 1t
proved tc be one of those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards. To-day Hostetter's
Btters Is one Of The most popular remedies in
christendom, and commands larger sale than any
other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side Of the Atlantic As cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility, and Is preventive Of epidemic
fevers, it takes precedence of every Other remedy
This fact should teach the ambitious country

attempts to cajoie the community must necessa-
rly be. Where the game hsh have failed there is
