FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Mama cement of Colts.

Colts are very apt to be left to shift
for themselves after weaving This is
wrong. A years gain in the usefulness
of horse may easily be made by care
and attention during the first few
months of its life The mare, while
nursing it's foal, should not be over
worked, and good pasture or green
feed in the stable will keep her in fair
condition, and furnish sufficient nourish-
ment for the foal. When weaned, and
pasture becomes short, neglect is hurtful
then care should be exercised to keep it
growing. During the fall months some
of the best early cut hay should be given
to it and when the horses are stabbed,
let it have loose box, or stall adjoining
them, where it can see and become used
to the discipline of the stable. Every
thing around it should be we'll secured,
lest in rubbing itself it might get some
thing loose. A habit of breaking things
and getting loose is easily and invariably
formed at this time, and should be
guarded against. During winter, feed
your colts as you feed your horses.
Give theme a share of what is served
out, oats, corn, or ground feed as it
may They cannot grow or fare well
otherwise Stinginess" don't pay in
rearing young animals. An addition of
twenty-five or forty dollars to its value
may result in the winters feeding and
care of one colt. Generosity here (of
course exercised with judgment) is only
wise foresight, and will pay good
interest on the investment Colts are
better kept up than allowed to run
around. They will become more docile
and tractable, and will learn fewer tricks.
Take them out only for exercise, except
when at pasture, and then be sure to
have a secure fence, or they will in
evitably learn to rub it down or jump
over it. Train your colt to walk, and
keep it walking. Farmers don't want
fast-trotting horses, as yet, we have need
so far of fast-walking horses, great need,
we may say, for they are far too scarce.
Therefore, train colts to walk at the rate
of four miles an hour at least. The time
will come when horse that can walk
his mile in twelve minutes will take a
prize at an agricultural fair, equal in
value to the best trotter. A team of such
horses could pillow an acre of land, with
furrow six inches wide, in five hours.
allowing time for turnings round. This
is above the quantity plowed on the
average now, in a day of ten hours
Horses of such capacity would be worth
q large price, and it should be our
endeavor to produce them. We have
breed that can transmit trotting capa-
city to its descendants, why could we
not raise up breed of walking horses?
Some one might make name and for
tune in this.

PAIRING PorAToEs.-Many persons,
in preparing potatoes for cooking, pare
off thick slice from the surface instead
of digging out the eyes. Prof. Blot, in
his lectures on the potato, says this
skinning process is all wrong, as the
strength Of the vegetable lies near the
surface-the starch growing less abun-
dant as the center is appropriated
The starch, near the surface, contains
the nutriment, which is not more than
seven or eight per cent, the balance
being mainly water

NEssRs. RoCHEREAU L. Co.'s NEW BUR-
CLAIR Proof VAULT.-The attention of our
commercial readers is directed to the de-
scription of the new burglar proof vault
which has recently been put up for Messrs.
Rochereau L. Co., No. % St. Louis street,
by Messrs. John w. Norris e. Co., general
southern agents Of Diebold e. Kinzie's fire
and burglar proof safes. The great robbery
which was perpetrated upon Messrs. Roch-
ereau & Co.. some months ago, naturally
made them anxious to obtain for the future
protection Of their money and valuables
something as near perfection as possible for
human ingenuity to suggest, and it appears
to US, after having read the description of
the vault and safe furnished by Mr.. Morris,
that they have about accomplished their
object. That burglar-no matter how as
sisted by chemicals and tools-could force
an entrance into this vault and safe during
the interval Of absence Of the employees
from the Office seems to us as absolutely
impossible, and that such herculean labor
would be undertaken by any one with a
t.imbleful of sense is beyond question
doubtful. At any rate we are convinced
that this piece of work is SO thorough, SO
solid and SO reliable in every respect that
we believe that nothing short of an earth
quake could disturb it.

The stamp tax on prepared mustards,
sauces, syrups, jams and jellies suspended
by Commissioner Delano, in letter dated
July Is, 1870. on the Opposition that Con
gress would abolish the tax, is again in
force; as will he seen by the following letter
from Mr.. Pleasohton, the new Commits
siOncr:
OFFICE OF INrKESAL REVENUE,
Washington d. c. March II, 1871.
Otis Clapb. ESQ.,. Assessor Fourth District, Boston,
Massachusetts,:
SIR-In your letter of March 4, you call
my attention to letter in relation to pre-
pared mustard, jcllies, ETC., addressed to
Assessor NJ. Friedsam, by my predecessor in
office, under date Of July Is, 1870, and pub
nshed in the .Intcrnal Rerenue Record of
August 6, 1870.
1t appears from the letter to which you
refer, that Commissioner DelanO suspended
the collection Of the stamp tax imposed by
act of July IL, 1866, under schedule &C."
upon prepared mustards, sauces, syrups,
jams, and jeilies, until Congress should
meet and have an opportunity to relieve
these articles from stamp duty.
The time of such suspension having ex-
pired, and Congress having taken no action
in the matter, prepared mustards, sauces,
syrups, jams and jellies hereafter sold, OF
fered for sale, or removed for consumption,
must be stamped according to the provi-
sions of schedule &C." .,.

We publish this morning the charter of
the New Orleans and Havana Steamship
and Lottery Company, to which we invite
the attention Of the readers of the REPuB-
LIcAN. 1t will be seen that it is proposed
toestablish at an early date a line Of steam
ships between this port and Havana and
other West Indian ports. That such line
is greatly needed must be apparent to all,
and that the commerce of the city would be
greatly. benefited thereby is obvious. Our
trade from that direction has languished
since the war, until now it may be said to
amount to next nothing; but with line of
splendid steamships, such as arc proposed
to be built, it would soon be restored to a
greater degree Of prosperity than ever ex
listed. The means by which the company
expect to provide these vessels is by organ
izing lottery on something like the
Havana plan, and to devote the profits &C
cruing therefrom to fostering the enter
prise. This looks like an original, if not a
comn,endable, mode of utilizing a vice
which seems to be popular in this city. We
cannot consent to advocate lotteries, but
the establishment of line Of steamships has
our support. Every dollar spent in that
direction will be returned to us fourfold.

1t is because people in business tranac-
tons seldom, if ever, lose sight of their own
interests that there is such a rapid sale of
the splendid pianos, from the several first
class manufactures in the country, of which
A. E. Blackmar, No. 20l Canal stseet is the
agent: In the first place, Blaekmar sells
none but first class pianos. In the second
place, most purchasers have the sensible
idea that a fair price for superior instru-
ment is always better bargain than low
price for poor one. Besides, no one buys
piano every day, but only once or twice
in life time; hence, when buying, it is
better to do the best by buying the best.
The only circumstance in favor of a poor
instrument has been the difficulty with peo-
pie in paying down the price of first
class instrument; but Blackmar's terms
remedy this, for a small payment on the
purchase and. q moderate sum paid monthly
enables any one to procure a first class
piano without feeling the burden of pay
ment. Call on Blackmar, No. 201 Canal
street, and examine his instruments and
terms.
