Hoohand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not Inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant Is re-
auired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle OF the Tonic
contains one bottle Of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum, and favored
in such manner that the extreme bitter
ness Of the Bitters Is overcome, forming a
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
TO the palate, and containing the medical
virtues OF the Bitters. The price OF the
Tonic is sl.5O per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be of pure quality. poor
article could be furnished at cheaper price
but is IL not better TO pay little more and
have a good article? A medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect to obtain
cheap compound will most certainly be
cheated.

Mares in loal will do better in every
respect if they can be used in any gentle
way to do light work-plowing when
the draught is not heavy, narrowing,
&c. or in any way where the pace is not
more that walk, where there is no
backing or. stopping weight down hill,
or any sharp or violent pulling. After
foaling, have always kept the mares
on feed according to the milk they had
when they had very great flush, / had
them MIXED at first after the colt had
sucked, and let the mare live on barley
or oat straw, or on any dry feed no bet
ter, for ten days after that age never
had colt all in any way till it was
three years old, when they would have
the strangles, but in many instances l
have know foals die suddenly, from ak
to ten days old, when the mare has been
at grass and was very full Of milk.
When fourteen years old, was rolling
some newly sown barley land on the Cots
void Hills; one of the mares showed
symptoms of foaling; ] hurried her out
OF the shafts and pulled off her harness;
had just taken hold of the collar 70
pull over her head, when she lay down,
gave one strain, and there was a colt.
Ny father came into the field and told
me to leave her alone, and in two hours
after, the colt was able to walk into the
adjoining field, as usual in such cases,
nothing more was done, and all went on
well. This is frequently the case with
cart mares in the month Of April in
England, a. farmers are anxious to
finish spring grain sowing during that
month, and use their mares in toal till
the last minute, and where nag mares
are used at similarly slow work they al
WAYS do better, and as for any nursing
or giving Of nostrums to dams Of of
spring, it is never thought of by any
practical common sense farmer. In in
stances where high priced nags are
bred, the mares are not worked, but
great care is taken that they have
ample opportunity to walk about and ex-
ercise themselves, and it is particularly
seen to that the mares do not become
too fat, and that their condition is alto
gether, as much as possible, perfectly
natural Nays ioal earlier in England
than cart horses, for it is known to be
very advantageous to have the young
as strong as possible against their first
winter but in my experience-and it has
been really extensive in breeding
mares, when they have conceived, are
more certain to 60 their full time, have
less accidents at the time Of foaling, and
are altogether subject to less ailments
than other stock; nine misfortunes out
OF ten proceed from the everlasting de-
sire to be always doing something,
when doing nothing would be so much
better %"
