Feeding Roots.

Those who feed turnips, mangels, and
other roots, should be careful and re-
move from them all the earth, and in
order to do this, it is we'll to wash them
if possible. 1t is true that if the roots
be smooth, there will not much dry dirt
adhere to- them; but we say the cleaner
the better for the good of the teeth OF
the animal, if for no other reason.
They should always be cut before they
are fed, and when large quantities are
consumed it is far better to use root
cutter or slicer; but when few, the roots
can be cut quickly and well by placing
them in clean box and using a spade
or shovel for the purpose. We like
once or twice week to sprinkle little
salt over them before feeding, and we
have observed that the cattle are quite
fond of salt, and seem to crave it.

The Washington Chronicle had the fol
lowing, double loaded, at the head OF
it's editorial columns, on the 9th, and 1t
is understood as expressing the opinion
of both Secretary Robson and Admiral

awe dislike to raise groundless fears,
but there is no use concealing the fact
that some uneasiness is felt in regard to
the safety Of the United States steamer
Tennessee, which left on the 10th ult.,
with the United States Commissioners
bound for San Domingo. That some ac-
cident has occurred there can be no
doubt: but wes trust that whatever 1T
NAV be, its i'll effects will be confined
simply to delay in the voyage OF the
vessel, and that all the passengers have
escaped the perils of the deep"

Prepare for Spring.

At this, the winter season of the year,
much can be done toward helping on
the labor that will food the farmer and
gardener in the spring Many pleasant
days will shine out through the face of
old winter, and during such times fences
can be repaired, buildings altered and
fixed up; the manure and compost heap
added to; trees, vines and plants trim
med. mulched and cleaned out gener-
ally; stakes for vines and raspberries
got out and hauled and painted and put
under shelter. In fact, the farmer and
gardener need hardly be idle a single
day; and the long nights are sufficient
for reading and recreation. Every far
mer and gardener should have work
shop with stove in it, and loft over
head, where he can put timber to sea-
son, which is suitable to make swivil
and double trees, hoe, rake, spade and
fork handles, ETC., etc. He should have
tool-chest with the ordinary tools for
such work, such as drawing knife, hate
het, chisels, augers, brace and bits,
saws, mallet, ETC., and have supply of
bolts and taps, nails and other things
which may be needed from time to time
on farm. Such a workshop would af-
ford comfortable and inviting retreat
for the farmer and gardener and their
boys; and no matter how cold or wet,
, no matter how tiercely the storm RACES
without, all would be snug and safe, and
much could be done toward helping on
the press of work when active opera
tions come on in the busy days of spring.
Besides this, it would afford pleasant
as we'll as useful recreation to the male
members of the family, and thus many
dollar would be saved, to say nothing of
the loss of time consequent upon run
ming to the village or crossroads shop
to have trifing little Jobs of work done.
The Gust m INDUCED in by many farm
ers and their sons of visiting the mills,
shops, stores and other +" loafing' places
in their neighborhood, during the winter
season, and spending many valuable
hours, both day and night, is, to say the
least of it, quite improper. Habits of
idleness are engendered, and too fire.
quently habits of dissipation, all of which
could be prevented if such plans for
home occupation were prepared as here
in suggested. Make home attractive, is a
maxim which cannot be too often urged
upon ALL Let it become dearer to every
member of the family, male and female,
than any other place on earth. In ad-
dition to workshop prepare comforta-
BILE room for the boys, where they can
be by themselves; provide good books
and papers, such as the Country Gentle
man and kindred papers; Rural Affairs,
works on farming and stock, poultry,
sheep, hogs, horses, cattle, ETC., and some
good paper on the stirring events of the
day. These, if wisely chosen, will furnish
food for the mind and day by day, year
by year, as the boys grow to manhood,
such foundation will be laid as to tell,

The Horse from a Moral Standpoint.

The driver who fights his horses has
not got through the first lesson in the
management of these animals. Some
strike their horses in a fit of anger ;
others beat them as a punishment for
what they conceive to be sinful acts OH
the part of the horse. Now, the fact is,
the horse never does wrong on purpose.
In this respect he is better than most
men. If he refuses to pull, it is the
fault of education and if he runs away,
and kicks things to pieces, it is because
he is frightened. Men, when they are
scared, do some very foolish things, and
they are excused; but no allowance is
made for the runaway horse. He Is
kicked and cuffed and beaten, as it
what was done was on purpose to hurt
somebody, and in consequence OF some
supposed danger, which the poor ami
NAL was trying to flee from. Horses
never kick without a motive. They use
their heels for defense; and the first
kick at the traces is given to ward Oft
what to them seems danger. No horse
ever kicked for any other purpose.
They cherish no ill-feeling against any
one, and always do, as far as they know,
what is right. All horses can be edu-
Gated to do whatever the driver wishes.
They obey cheerfully and without
grumbling, even though put to rest with
half rations in a cold, filthy, muddy sta
BILE. A horse can be taught to know
the harness will not hurt him. Then
he will not kick at it and run away. He
is easily taught to pull by the traces, or
by the halter-strap Ifyou want him to
pull we'll on the halter, all you have to
do is to hitch him with something he
can easily break, and he will soon learn
to pull back with such force that no
bride will hold him. If you want him
| to- pull we'll in the traces, give him a
light load until he learns to move it.
| and he will soon pull his best at heavy
loads. Horses balk or pull just as they
are taught. II doest not matter which
end of the horse you fasten the weight
to. They will balk as readily when
hitched by the traces, if improperly
trained. as when hitched by the halter ;
and they will pull back as faithfully
by the halter, if trained to do so, as they
pull forward when hitched 10y the
traces to wagon. 1t is an easy matter
| to teach a horse to refuse to pull at
either the halter or traces, and 1t is
equally as easy to teach him to pull by
| the same means. IF those who drive
horses would keep this fact in viaw and
keep their temper out of view, they
| would never be guilty of the shameful
act of beating their team in a mud-hOle
or on the hillside.

The New YORK MARKETs.-The Com
nissioners of the Sinking Fund of New

directing the sale of the market proper
ty belonging to the corporation. The
reasons advanced for this measure are,
that there is no longer any necessity for
the city to provide market houses, as
the expense is not commensurate with
the profits that private companies are
erecting much more convenient build
ings and that the sale of the property
will add large amount to the sinking
fund. The revenues derived from the
New York market houses in 1869

The New York Journal Of Commerce
thinks not, and supports its position by
advancing the proposition that no
money getting is defensible except that
acquired in exchange for something
valuable, where both parties agree to
the transfer. In stock gambling all that
one party makes some one or more must
lose; and that is not, in our judgment,
legitimate calling. Mutual profit, or
a trade conducted upon principles
which give both sides a fair chance, or a
reasonable prospect Of gain, is the I'M
failing sign of legitimate business.
A man who finds purse i'll the street
has no rightful ownership in it; he has
given nothing in exchange for it; he
has done nothing to acquire title to it.
IF he conceal it in his pocket, he is dis
honestly profting by the misfortune OF
its proper owner How much worse,
however, if it were his constant Occupa-
ton to follow the careless and improvi-
dent, to appropriate all they might
chance to drop, and to seize upon every
thing of theirs which he could grasp,
without making himself amenable to
the law How soon, in such a pursuit,
would he use little acts to distract their
attention and bring more gain to his
greedy fingers, until the line of positive
robbery was barely evaded! This fairly
describes the course of these operators,
whose legitimacy is thus Endorsed.
