recover from it for year or two, and
MANY times, never. They become reduc-
ed in flesh, get lousy inEthe fall. and dur
ing the first winter CT their existence,
when they need health and strength, as,
under any circumstances, itzis the most
critical period of their growth, they have
lust life enough to enable them to move,
and the second summer, the proper time
for Development, is spent in their recu-
peration of lost vitality. oH
We usually wean colts al from four to
five months old, according TO the lime of
year. If not worked the mare should
be put on short grass or fed, and MIXED
occasionally for two or three days. The
colt should have O little oats (partially
groundl every day, and be entirely OUT of
sight and hearing of its mother. Many
are, we think, too careless of their colts
at or about the time they are weaned. As
far as our experience goes, we consider
this the most important time in the colts
life as far as his future health, size and
disposition are concerned. If he is neg
lected as to feed and care, he will proba-
bly, show it during the remainder of his
life, If he is not already so, he should
be Immediately halter broken, and handled
every day if possible, but upon no ac-
count abused. He should be taught to
mind, but rather through affection than
through fear; if thelatter is the cause, you
will never know whenor how long he will
obey you; but if from the former, you
may expect his obedience to last as long
as the cause which produces it.-HorSc-
mans Manual. -

Care of Sucking Colts.

Those who raise colts usually exercise
care in the selection ofgood stock TO breed
from, but many greatly neglect to give
the colts proper attention during hot
weather while they are running with
dams. 1t is not uncommon TO see those
that were healthy and well developed in
carly summer looking puny and poor, and
their hair falling off before autumn. This
trouble arises from allowing the colt 10
draw milk while the blood of the marc is
in a high state of heat from violent exer-
ton.
When the dam is used in hot weather
upon the farm or road so as TO heat her
blood, the colt should never be allowed
to suck until she has fully cooled off.
Let him fill himself before the mother is
put into harness, and if it is important
that he should accompany the dam, tie
him at her side so that he will be unable
to draw milk until he is liberated, for it
is much better that he should go hungry a
few hours than to take his food while it
is in fevercd state. ...
If the mare is to make long distance
in hot day, and return at night, il is
best TO leave the colt at home, and draw
the milk from the udder by hand once or
twice during the day, and upon returning,
then allow the colt TO fill himself gradu-
ally, as the mill. is secrcted.
Colts injured by heated milk seldom

Turnips among Corn.

A correspondent says: 1t is frequently
the case that in passing through corn
fields in autumn we find the space be-
tween the rows occupied with sturdy
weeds; sometimes the spurious vegetation
completely overtops the maize, and ''casts
it into the shade" Now, would inquire,
is it not much better and more prudent,
in every sense of the word, for the farmer
to occupy the soil monopolized by the ex-
hausting weeds with some crop that will
contribute to his resources, than to have
it filled with such productions, and which
will not only "sap the land" most wretch
edly, but foul it by the dissemination of
their minute and multitudinous seeds
Certainly no farmer can doubt the affirma-
tive. By sowing the purple top turnip
seed at the last dressing of the corn crop,
and ''scuffing" it in, or sowing just be-
fore rain and allowing that to cover it,
he can have a hundred bushels of good
turnips per acre, if the soil be rich and
well cultivated, instead of host of worth
less and pestilcnt weeds.

Sorghum as N Substitute for SOyved
Corn.

At the last meeting of the American
Institute Farmers Club, of Ney York,
the inquiry was made whether sorghum
would answer as a soiling crop for mich
COWS, and, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing paragraph, the members generally
thought it could be made valuable for that
purpose. Horace Greeley stated that he
raised sorghum two seasons for green
fodder, and was very well satisfied with
its growth, and thinks it produces more
to the acre than any similar crop. The
difficulty is, it cannot in this latitude be-
come fit for use until quite late in the sea-
son, fully month after sowed corn. In
a warmer climate it would, of course,
answer better purpose.
Mr.. Curtis-This is my experience ex-
actly. l have grown forty tons to the
acre, and cattle ate it clean, but frost
overtakes it, as Mr.. Greeley says. If it
ripencd month earlier, it would be in
valuable for the purpose indicated.
Mr.. Colton-In North Carolina sorghum
is as largely used as corn is here. Il is
considered excellent as green forage, but
il will not answer to cut in advance, as il
is found to poison the stock when left
waiting for two or three days.

Feed the Fruit Trees.

1t must be apparent to every rejecting
person that the material round about a
fruit tree, which renders important aid in
the production of fine fruit of any kind,
must necessarily be more or less cx-
hausted after a vine, bush or tree has
produced abundant crops for several sue
cessive seasons. For example: A large
pear tree or apple tree will frequently
yield from ten to sixteen bushels of fruit
annually. Many trees have produced
more than twice these quantities at one
crop.
After q few seasons the material that
the roots must be supplied with, in order
to develop fruit, will be more or less ex-
hausted. For this reason fruit begins to
fail, and the failure is often attributed to
an east wind or some mysterious atmos-
pheric influence, when, in reality, the sole
cause is starvation, arising from al i'm
poverished soil.
The remedy is to feed the roots of all
kinds of fruit trees with lime, wood
ashes, gypsum, cheap dirt, bones, fishes
and anything that will renovatc an i'm
povcrished soil. 1t is evident that fruit
trees cannot produce fine fruit out of no
thing, or out of such materials as may be
desirable for some other purposes.

Look to Your Crafts.

1t should not be forgotten that gratis,
which have been set this spring, when
they once fairly started to grow they
mostly go ahead rapidly, and becoming
laden with leaves, and the hold they have
upon the stock being very slender, they
frequently break off. Birds will also
light upon them, and their added weight
snaps them They, therefore, should be
attended to, and pruned, when they have
shot six to eight inches by one-half.
They usually make better branches by
this abscision, and in no event is there
any injury. Crafts set this spring should
also be examined, and where the wax has
become loose and fallen away, or where
the split has widened, additional wax
should be supplied, otherwise the water
gaining entrance will either Kill OF weaken
them, giving them an unsightly appear

FARM AND GARDRk.
Gapcs i'm Chickens.

Letting chickens run on plowed ground
is said to be sure cure for gapes. An
other remedy which correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette has tried repeatedly
without fail is as follows: Take a small
portion of water and drop in few drops
of spirits of turpentine, and soak few
bread crumbs. Throw out to the chick
ems. They will eat enough to cure them
before they discover anything wrong.

dane; ! answer unequivocally, I have seen
andheard those know to have been SO;
do not pretend that fraud is not practiced;
] know that many of the media will resort
to suhterfuge, to astonish the investigator,
when they fail in obtaining manifestations
asked for; but that proves nothing against
spiritualism, as, "where is the palace in
which foul things will not enter" but I have
seen the genuine tips, and heard the genuine
raps, under circumstances in which I could
not be deceived and hold man to be a
coward, who denies the evidences of his
own senses, repudiates the conclusion of his
own mind, because by admitting them he
runs counter to prejudice of an inexper-
fenced community. Shall he repudiate his
own philosophy of the motion Of the world,
when brought to the anto de fs, but after
science confirmed and justified his theory
and so with this subject, there is nothing in
it, when understood, that is incompatible
with science, or common sense, and its teach
ings are sublime sg

was attracted to this thing, believing it to
be sheer humbug; and with desire and
purpose of investigating and exposing it.
He was induced to look at it by a gentleman,
now one of the distinguished generals on the
Union side in the late civil contest, and was
very soon astonished at the developments he
met; and step by step. and experience by

without being entirely satisfied of its iden-

a shadow of doubt of the reality of the phe-
nomena. But l am making this, my first
