TRAINING COLTS.

For the last six years, says correspond.
ent Of the Prairie Farmer, / have been hal
tering my colts when about one week old,
and when the mother is worked the colt is
tied by her side. l find many advantages
in beginning so soon with them, among
which are the colt is learned to lead in a
very few minutes seldom more than ff-
teen. Being thus early handled, they have
no fear of being hurt when any one comes
near them. They learn to travel on the
road without fear of the vehicle behind
them or meeting others. There is no dan
ger of losing them or having them stop on
the road to cause you to 60 back after
them. Two or three times going back after
a colt will break one to lead by the side Of
the mother.
When so trained they are ready to work
as soon as they are old enough. l have
two now that were no trouble to break.
All that they had to learn was to pull.
They knew what was behind, and had no
fear of being hurt. One l harnessed with
out assistance, and drove seven miles and
back the first afternoon. Neither Of these
colts has naturally the best of tempers, but
they are now a very pleasant team to drive
in any place, or to any kind Of carriage.
Kindness in all cases is necessary in train
ing Il do not say breGking) colts; and firm
ness is quite as necessary. In early train
ing young colt will very soon learn thst
man is his master, and that he will not be
hurt if he is quiet. The colt learns little at
time, too, and learns that little well, and
he never forgets it. In. beginning with
colts old enough to work, they are expected
to learn too much at once. A colt should
not be expected to learn all he is to know
at one time, any more than boy should
learn all that is necessary for him to know
at one term of school. Try the plan oflead-
ing the colt when the mother is at work
next spring.

A writer in the AgricuIturist says: "This
summer my horses got badly run down.
We fed them literally, but they did not eat
well. They had no appetite, no digestion,
and no strength and spirit. They came
home at noon and night tagged out, and
their nights rest did not refresh them. /
sawed a barrel in two, and placed the ends
on the platform of the pump. These are
for watering the horses. Into one of them
we put p5ilful Of corn meal and mixed it
with the water. The horses at first did not
like it, and would only drink littlewhen very
thirsty. Aftet they had drank what they
would they were allowed pure water. In a
very few days, however, they drank this
corn meal soup with relish, and in less
than a week there was decided change
for the better in the appearance Of all the
horses. We do not let them eat the meal,
but merely let them drink the milky water.
have no doubt it is as good for them as
plate of good soup is for tired and hungry
man before dinner. 1t seems to stimulate
the appetite and aid digestion.

sTEAMINR RTOCK FEED.

Mr.. WILLIAM Crosier, of Northport, Long
Island, is one of the largest and most sue
cessful stock raisers in New York, and
steams the hay, straw and fodder fed to a
large dairy of cows and other stock. Straw
fed with roots be finds worth about one
third as much per ton as good hay; and the
best corn fodder raised especially for for
age, cooked, is nearly equal to hay. His
steaming box holds just cord; bat he
cooks all feed under two pounds pl essure OF
steam for three hours, and feeds it pretty
warm, or at blood heat. With warm sta
bles steamed feed, and many roots, such as
carrots, bee!s aDd turnips, he is able
to turn out over 100 lbs Of
fresh butter day in the coolest weather.
In butter he sells nothing bat air, and that
at high price. He will sGsn need a rail-
way over his fields of 1000 acres to facili-
tate the transportation of large crops to his
barns and stables and the return of manure
in equal quantities. Steam will soon do all
this work, including all tillsge, as it now
does moving, reapiDg, threshing, saving,
wood cutting, hay, straw and cornstalks,
churning, pumping, etc.

FAT cows MILK.

In Chautauqua. county in New York,
where fifty thousand dairy cows are kept,
the cheese and butter factories have just
found out that 100 pounds of milk from fat
cows is richer in butter, and worth more
than the same weight Of milk from lean
cows. Lean kline are still in dsrepute, and
low feeding does not pay. Another point
Of some interest was developed at q large
dairynen's meeting. One member of the
Association had been some weeks in New
York, and whils there saw the best dairy
butter quoted at 33 to So cents pound;
while dealers had dairy butter which they
sold at so cents pound, "some holders re-
fusing to sell at that price," Here was a
great share between the producer and con-
sumer-s subject that farmers should watch
and study closely. Producers and coz
sumels must come closer together, SO they
can see every article all the way in its
transit, pay what is right to middle men and
no more, having as few Of that class as pos
sible,

A BERLIN correspondent writes to the
Christian Union: "a while ago the late
DR.. Lieber published a card calling for the
origin of an anecdote of Washington, which
one of the professors law students had
heard from Laboulaye. Washington and
Jefferson being at tea together, the latter
was arguing against two houses, and de-
manded of Washington some good reason
for a Senate. you, yourself, Mr.. Jetfer-
son. said Washington, 'hsye just given me
the argument. Finding your tea too hot,
YOU poured it from the cup into the saucer
to cool it. We need a second chamber to
cool off the first Your correspondent re-
members telling this snecdote to Laooui-
ave, at his table, several years ago, and my
authority for it was the late Judge Dag
oett. who told it with inimitable gusto In
his law lectures to The senior class in Y ale
COLLEGE. His authority was probably the
former Senator, Hillhouse, of New Haven;
and any survivor of the Daggett or the
Hillhouse family should be able to verify

to but it on record beyond a question"

IRISH CATTLE-LONG HORNS AND
KERRIES.

There is instruction in the fact that so
small an island as Ireland should have de-
yeloped two distinct breeds of cattle by the
difference in the climate Of the plains and
that of the Kerry mountain. The low
lands have produced the long horns which,
according TO Prof. Low correspond in gen.
ersl character to the long horns of England.
American breeders in pursuit of good stock,
on seeing them, have not thought them de-
sirabIe for breeding purposes, and none
have been imported into the United States.
The small, hardy mountain Kerries, how
ever, stand in high repute in Massachusetts,
after twelve years trial. Mr.. Sanford How
ard, then connected with the agricultural
press Of Boston, made the first purchase In
1859 of a -year-old bull and five two
year-old heifers of "the truest type of the
Kerry breed" for Mr.. Author w.
Ausin, Of West Roxbury, Massachu-
sets. Having better fare on Mr..
Austin's farm than in their
native mountain range, his two year-olds
are much larger than those imported; and
the milk giving properties of the descen-
dants are coIrespondingly improved.
Youatt refers to dairy of Kerry cows 2S
in number that produced an average Of PA
pounds of butter each in a year. one pure
Kerry in this herd gave 2,725 quarts in ten
months. In the park of Lord Kenmsre at
Killarney, Mr.. Howard saw small Kerry
bull and large short horn grazing togeth-
er, both full grown but the back of the
Kerry was only ON line of the stifie Of She
short horn. Mr.. II, says: "Obtaining a
guide who could speak both the English
and Celtic languages, and a sure footed
mountain pony, l commenced observations.
l found the cattle smaller and occupying q
wilder and more forbidding territory than
I expected. At elevations Of two thousand
feet or more above the sea l found them
sharing with the goat the natural vegeta-
ton of the mountains side. The region
presents no cultivation except a few
matches In the valleys of small STRAINS.
Still the COWS appeared to yield good
quantity of milk, which produced a fine
Quality of butter. was convinced that
had nsver seen any COWS which could sus-
tain item selves under such circumstances
Twas not little surprised to learn that the
cattle, with the exception of the COWS II
milk. remained on these bleak pasture!
through the winter season. Yet Their In
herent hardness enables them 10 go through
this apparent hardship probably without
much suffering. They are clad in verI
heavy coat Of hair, thick and furry next t.
the skin, rendering their bodies almost i'm
peryious TO snow or rain. Having noticed
that man had several stacks of hay down
in the valley where was rude habitatior
