Feed for Colts.

A correspondent OF the Maine
Farmer, who is a successful breeder Of
horses--for driving, etc. -gives that
paper his method of feeding colts. He
feeds all colts as many oats as they
win eat up clean, feeding three times a
day. He gives weanings four pounds
of oats per day, with eight pounds of
hay; to yearlings five pounds of oats ;
two-yearolds six pounds; three-year-
olds eight pounds, with ten pounds of
hay for each of the three ages.
The colts are all handled from their
birth. Even in the winter the young
colts have half hours gallop daily,
while the older ones are regularly
driven.
A warm bran mash is given once a
week, and also three or four pounds Of
potatoes, occasionally sheaf oats instead
of hay, aud in cold weather an OCCASION
al feed of corn meal.

House Plants Winter.

Mr.. James Wick, whose large expert
ence as a florist makes him an excep.
tionable authority on the subject, gives
the following suggestions with regard
to the management of house plants in
winter:
Few plants can endure the high
temperature and dry atmosphere of
most of oui living rooms. The tenn.
perature should not be allowed to go
above sixty-tive in the day time, and
not above forty in the night. As much
air all light as possible should be Civ
en-, while the leaves should be sprink-
led every morning. A spare room, or
parlor, or extra bedroom, is better for
plants than living room. A bay win
dow, connected with warm room, es-
pecially if facing south or east, makes
an excellent place for keeping plants
in winter. 1t should have glass doors
on the inside, which can be closed a
part of the time, especially when
sweeping and busting The main thing
in keeping house plants in health is to
secure an even temperature, moist
atmosphere, and freedom from dust.
Sprinkle the leaves occasionally, and
when they need water use it freely.
If the green fly, or aphis appears, wash
with soapsuds frequently, and occa-
sionally with little tobacco water, OF
a decoction of quassia chips. II the
red spider comes it shows the plants
are in too dry an atmosphere. Burn a
little sulphur under the plants, the
fumes of which will kill the spider,
and afterward keep the stems and leaves
we'll moistened. Occasionally, but not
often, worms appear in the pots. This
can be avoided in measure by careful
potting. A little weak lime water is
sometimes of benefit in such cases, also
five drops of liquid ammonia to a gal
Ion of water, though, perhaps, the bet
ter way is to re-pot, removing the
earth carefully, so as not to injure the
growth of the plant"

Cayenne pepper, mustard, or ginger,
can with great benefit be added to the
food OF fowls, to increase their vigor,
and to stimulate egg production.
This apparently artificial diet Will be
seen to be natural, if We remember that
Wild birds of the gallinaceous species
get access tovery highly spiced berries
and buds articles that give the ''game
flavor to their flesh. The ordinary
food of the domestic fowl IS not indeed
entirely without some such addition,
since there is more or less of an
aromatic principle in wheat, Indian
corn, and all other grains. Neverthe-
less, it is not sufficient III quantity to
supply the place OF the stronger Species
a taste for which is part of the fowls
inherited constitution, A moderate
quantity of cayenne, etc, added to the
ground grain, is always productive of
health and thrift in poultry.-Poultry

Room for the Queen.

Gen. Adair says that the laying of
the queen may be greatly increased by
favorable conditions, and that the aim
of bee-keepers should be to give every
queen room in properly constituted
hives for all her eggs, and also album
dance Of proper food, so that she may
not be cramped in any way. This
course followed Will give larger
colonies, with far greater capacity for
honey gathering, for "bees are honey
IN this business, and honey is money"

Odessa wheat is Not the Best wheat to
Raise in Minnesota.

E'ditOrS st. Pant Press | saw an
article in the st. Paul Press of January
29th in relation to the good qualities
of Odessa wheat, signed James W.
Marden.
We do not think it equal to the Fife
Of Flint wheat, and the -four made from
Odessa does not command as good a
price. Consumers Of Minnesota -four
in all markets condemn the quality
It makes nice-lcoking, soft -four, but
lacks strength or body, for which
Minnesota flour has a great reputation
among consumers and bakers. In the
fall of 1872 | made test in my mills
by making four hundred barrels ex-
clusively from. Odessa, and shipped it
to five different markets--New York,
Albany, Boston, Baltimore and St
Louis, and in AL of them 1t brought 80
cents to %1.00 less per barrel and
their customers all condemned it. and
said they wanted no more of it. This
-four was branded my first brand, which
has high reputation in all markets,
and for time injured the good name
Of my brand. This | think will be the
testimony Of all the best merchant
millers IN our State, and they as well
as myself prefer to buy flint wheat.
ANY new kind Of wheat yields better for
I one or two crops bat soon runs out, IS
I the Odessa has in this vicinity, where
\ it was impartially tried on the same land
. from two to five years.
Farmers should raise Fife, or any
good flint wheat 1t is far better than
these varieties, and makes much better

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Means Used FOR Settling Bees.

In answer to the question, care
there means by which swarms can be
called back and settled - the bee
keepers at Indianapolis replied: "By
throwing sand on the advance guard {;
or the rays of the sun by the use of a
looking-glass; or by discharging q
gun" One gentleman stated that he
called them back by whistling. He
must have been an extraordinary
whistler, or his bees were exceedingly
well trained

A horse will endure very severe cold
weather without much inconvenience,
so long as he is furnished with dry
stable but require him TO stand on Il
wet foul floor, and his health Will soon
begin to fail. Horses very often suf-
fer from cold feet and legs Especial
~ is this the case on farms. Much time
is spent of a morning in rubbing, brush
ing and smoothingthe hair on the sides
and hips, but at no time are the feet
examined and properly cared for. But
the feet of a horse require more care
than the body. They need ten times
as much, for in one respect they are
almost the entire horse. All the
grooming that can be done won't avail
anything if the horse is forced to stand
where his feet will be filthy. In this
case the feet Will become disordered,
and then the legs there is not much
else of the horse fit for anything.
Stable prisons generally are very severe
on the feet and legs of horses and
unless these buildings can afford n dry
room where horse can walk around,
lie down. or roll over, they are not
halt so healthy or comfortable to the
horse as pasture, and should be avoid
ed by all hostlers in the country

A pIay-ROOnl .

We want to beg of the mothers to make
some provision for their children's amuse.
ment, not in the way of costly toys, but
by giving them place to play. It saves
time and trouble,i saves your own and your
childrens' temper. In many families play
room could be given to the children with
very little inconvenience. We know of q
family where little six by ten sew
ing-room, opening from the din.
ing-room, is vacated every winter when
the cold drives the boys from their base
ment workshop. The carpet is taken up,
two barrels with board across them
makes workbench, u dry goods box is a
storing place for lumber, and an old bu-
rcau is tool chest and depository for fin
ished and unfinished jobs. A board slid
across the bottom of the doorway keeps
the shavings from being dragged upon the
dining-room carpet, and here on their
own premises the boys work and play in
perfect content. They white, they cut
paper, they paste, they paint. There are
but two rules for the shop. No tools must
be left out of their drawer at night. and
every Saturday the shop must be put in
perfect order and all rubbish deposited in
the kindling box under the bench. We
have no doubt the mother misses her sew
ing-room, but the gain compensates for
the loss a hundred-fold. If you cannot do
this, and many mothers cannot, still let
them work and play. A deep box in the
corner will hold a young mechanic and
his work, and paper clippings are easily
brushed up from square oil cloth
which may be quickly spread down or
gathered up. A big apron of old calico is
quickly run together, and will keep the
incest little suit tidy, while the delighted
artist paints to his hearts content. Let
there be a corner somewhere to store the
queer nondescript articles so dear to a
child's heart, and teach the children to
gather them up themselves. If you can
spare neither cupboard, closet, nor drawer,
box neatly covered with carpet or
drugget will not ipjure the neatest sitting
room. But do not sacrifice all the comfort
and happiness of your children by a too
scrupulous neatness. Why should home
be neat save for the comfort and happiness
of its inmates ?-Little Corporal.
