Pernicious Effects of Wine on Children.

Pernici0us Effects Of Wine on Children.
The best informed European physicians
condemn the practice of giving wine daily to
children. 1t has become a prevalent custom
of late in America to give glass of wine to
such children as are old enough to sit at the
table with their parents. If the opinions of
experienced physicians have no weight with
parents, the following well conceived expert
ment, being proof positive of the pernicious
effects of wine, may possible induce some to
reflect little on the subject.
A physician of great eminence in London
gave to one of his children full glass of sher-
~ every day after dinner, for a week. The
child was about five years old, and had never
been accustomed to wine. To another child,
nearly of the same age, and under similar cir
cumstances, he gave large China orange,
for the same space of time. At tie end of a
week he found a eery material difference in
the pulse, the heat of the body, the urine,
and the stools of the two children. In the
first, the pulse was quickened, the heat in
creased, the urine high-colored, and the
stools destitute of their usual quantity of bile
while the second had every appearance that
indicated high health. He then reversed the
experiment; to the aforementioned child he
gave the orange, and to the other the wine.
The effects followed as before: A striking and
demonstative proof of the pernicious effects of
wine on the constitution of children in full

Spreading Man ure.

In going through the country we see
much OF the manure drawn out laying In
heaps-ard it Is apt TO be there until
spring. VIII people never learn the great
error Of treating manure In this way;
Here is the principle: Take lump Of ina
nure. apply il to the soil. What comes in
contact with its outside-the only part that
can come in contaci-will receive some
benefit from the manure; but the rest. the
greater part by far, remains bound up In

much the same is the result only the
ground gets all the strength but only that
part coming in contact with il and imme-
diately below it. thus giving the subsoll
the part which should have gone into the
soil above.
II will be clearly seen that this i an evil.
This same lump scattered, pulyerized

they come in contact with, showing lodged

The way Is, 10 spread We draw. and

manure will be benefited the rest of the
land receiving nothing during the winter.
In the spring the heaps will be frozen ;
there will be difficulty OF reducing them

each one OF our agricultural writers. when
giving his plan Of feeding his own horses,

Feeding Horses.

Much that has been written on this topic
seems very contradictory-som recon-
mend the use of grain, TO the almost total
exclusion OF hay or the more bulky food.
while others hold and express. in our apri-
cultural Journals. views nearly the reverse
OF this. With such a conflict of opinion.
ii is very difficult matter for the citizen
who keeps one or two horses, to decide up
on the proper course for him to pursue. In
prov iding food for his horses.
In forming judgment as to the kind of
food proper for our horses, we must take
into consideration the kind of work ex-
pected from them: if used for fast driving
grain or some other food which does not
occupy too much bulk. should be used.
Many an otherwise good horse has been
rnined by fast driving, when his stomach
was overloaded with bulky food and en-
croached upon the space ABSOLUTELY neee.-
sary for full play and use of the lungs,
when travelling fast.
II. on the other hand the animal is In
tended for heavy and slow drsft. he should
have more bulky food. such as hay, and we
think that it is to this that these contra
dictory statements of our agricultural press
may be attributed.
Another important point is too often
lost sight of in these discussions. and that
is the relative prices of hay and grain. In
the city, hay is sometimes worth as much
per pound as grain, and here the question
would naturally be decided In favor of at
least large proportion of grain, because
of greater ease of feeding and storage
On our farms, grain is marketable, while
hay on account of its bulk is not SO valuable
as market crop and hence We use more
hay and less grain than is commonly fed to
the same class. OF horses in the city.
