The stock market was dull and irregular, taking

HAD HIS REVENGE.

An Essex-street man killed a hen that be.
longed 10 a neighbor because it few into
his yard. The neighbor made no demons
tration. But he went around among the
juveniles, and told them that the one among
them who could say "Shoes and socks shock
Susan" four times RUNNING, without mis-
take, should receive two dollars from the
hen-killer. So they went up to his house,
in the guilelessness of childhood, and filed
the hall and the stoop, and crowded the
yard, and made up their minds they would
earn that two dollars Or die. And they
sa!led In, and the man tried to drive them
on, but couldn't, and then he went up stairs
but they followed him. The air resounded
with "Shuwack snoozen socker," with hide
GUS variations in the shrillest of voices key
ed to the highest Of pitches. In vain the
victim appealed for mercy with ink-bottles,
and hot water, and mustard boxes, His
arguments were unheeded and his cries
were unheard, and be finally he scaled a fence
and fed, pursued by what he was firmly
convinced were score of demons. Tue
hen was avenged.

Once a week they receive warm mash
of bran and oats, and>oGce q week they
also have three or four pounds of potatoes;
each in lieu of usual feed. They would
get other roots-preferably carrots--if | had
them. Of course these quantities very
slightly with the animals, but they show
the average feed. My farmer neighbors
look at my colts and wonder at their size,
power, and spirit when there is no cause
for wonder at all. They not only have
warm, clean, and ample boxes to move
about in, but they are carded and exercised
every day. To this end the youngsters are
daily compelled to half an hours gallop in
large yard, while two and three year olds
receive regular work upon the road.
They are all handled from their birth. It
may be objected that the faruer cannot af-
ford to feed so highly. l reply that be can
not afford to do otherwise. BE does not
keep his growing boy upon short allow
ance, but, on the contrary, is in state of
chronic astonishment to see the quantity OF
provender the urehin can stow away under
his jacket. We all know that ~'',, ,.,r.n 90,
more than s1own" people. Why should
/ not the same truth hold good with other
animals?
have not attempted to give any physio-
logical reasona for this system, although
they are many. A common belief obtains
that colts are often spoilt by granting too
much. Indeed, have been advised by
well-meaning friends to that effect. would
rather have my own experiences, however,
than anybody's advice. That experience
tells me that extra colts may be raised with
extra care. If fastened yearllng in a
box or stall, aud kept him without exer-
else all winter, should expect his legs lie
fill and Fstock;" but should attribute the
disease to its proper cause, aud Ros to the
oats. In conclusion, 1 would say, that at
intervals we give sheaf oats in lieu of hay;
and during very cold weather, an occasional
| feed of corn meal. rn..
