SHALL YOUNG GRAIN BE FED. We in
cline to the opinion that rye or wheat sown,
in September should not be touched till next
harvest. time We know that some hold
opinions to the contrary, and under some
circumstances il may be desirable. If the
growth of either is remarkably large, so that
the ground is covered 10 the depth of sever
al inches with the foliage, we can see some
propriety in removing portion of this sur
plus vegetation. 1t will give a better
chance for the sprouts next April. 1t will
lessen the chances of the destruction of tho
plants by mice or moles, which in some sec
tons are great pests, and perhaps, best of
all, will afford good bite for sheepo calves
at a season Of the year when they stand III
need But as n general thing, we believe
that no hoof Of any animal should evertouch
a field after it is sown TO either of the grains
already named. If the ground is mellow,
they will tread some of the shoots into the
earth, perhaps, beyond starting If it is
eaten close, the protection which the roots
Of all grains and grasses more or less need
in the winter is lost aud the little enrich
ing material which the decayed leaves give
to the plant in the spring when it first starts
is wanting, which seems to be among the ma
tural provisions thatare made with reference
to the highest and best growth of this kind
of grain.

1t ndver pays TO fret and growl
When Fortune seems our foe
The better bred will push ahead

For luck is work,
And those who shirk

And clear the way
That better men have room

Well worthy of a song.

To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In Heavens sight

things were progressing; and mark you
what followed. One Of the crows. little
larger than the rest, had taken possession
OF almost all the corn, and Iuit himself a

the whiskey-soakcd corn to the other crows

BALKY HoRsEs.-It is rarely well to whip
or kick or scold balky horse, as is the
common practice. One of the best modos
is to feed him where he stands with any &C
cessiblo food, such as oats, ears Of corn, or
even grass by the wayside, or hay from the
wagon, which can be provided for the E.
mergency. Forgetting his whim, be will
generally start without trouble. Another
good way is to do something not harmful,
but new as filing bis mouth with loose
dirt, which desire to get rid Of will divert
his thoughts, aud before he knows it lac will
be jogging unconsciously along Sometimes
if one can spare the day, it is best to wait
till, from WEAKNESS and hunger, the animal
submits to your will, and the triumph in
this instance is generally complete.
