Baltimore Oyster.

In a conversation wi hia PROM
ipent oyster-packar some curiops
and interesting features Of the
oyster trade wer related. AS is
well known, TIE habits of this
bi valve are all entire mystery;
what it ears lahd-how 1t lives are
questiors not yet understood
The spawn of the oyster floats
arcund with the action of the
waves and tide, and adheres 10
whatever it may C, me into con-
tact. Oysters tax ~ from a rocky
bed are of a superior quality,
those taken FROM a soft bottom are
comparatively poor in quality /.
Thousands Of "poor innocent"
oysters die, Annually from resting
on q soft bottom, a fact which
should arouse the sympathies OF
all tender hearted people.
The weight of the oyster, as it
gradually natures, sinks it be.
meath the surface, aud as soon as
it is covered with sediment or
mud il dies. Many people sup
pose that the oyster really eats,
and kind hearted people, buying
Oy sters in the shell, sometimes
throw corn N .al over them, think
ing 10 feed them. The peculiar
noise emana;ing from them has
been supposed to be produced by
feeding. All shellhsh at times
have their shells open, and when
touched will instantly close them
The noise thus produced has been
mistaken for masticltion, when.
in reality, it is from fright.
! Most of the Baltimore dealers
in raw oysters during the summer
months transact their buSin, SIS at
Fair Haven, Connection, where
large beds Of Baltimore oysters
have been transplanted. The beds
are 80 arranged that on the re
ceding of the salt water tide,
fresh water from a small stream
covers the oysters; it is said that
this fatIrns oysters better than
any Other method. Orders are re-
ceived for the article in question
during the summer months, and
they are taken from the beds and
shipped with the greatest possible
dispatch, and many eat them with
apparent! relish, notwithstanding
the warmth Of The season. Alto
gether the oyster packing trade
Of Baltimore is an enormous one,
and in connection with fruit anC
vegetable packing business, EN-
pIoys capital Of about S25,
100000 a fact which sufficiently
exprcsses the Importance Of thi:
Interest 10 Baltimore.

few Words about Horses,

Hiy and oats make the best
feed for horses tina. are obliged to
work hard and regularly. If the
hay is cut fine, and the 90 uruis.
ed or ground, the whole mixed
and moistened, the horse will eat
his rations quicker, digest them
sooner, and thus have more time
for resting and renewing his pow
er for labor. Farmers horses that
work little during winter time
may be kept cheaper by cutting
and mixing bright straw and hay
in equal quantities, and adding a
ration of steamed potatoes or raw
carrots. Colts should be fed lib.
orally on good hay bright clover
is best-and bruised oats; give
them a ronmy box stall in stormy
weather, and during nights. Lit
ter freely, and do not let the ma
nure accumulate under them
Sawdust of spent tan makes a
good and convenient bedding; in
cities and villages they are often
cheaper than straw. Groom
horses we'll, and let them have ex.
ercise every day; a run in the yard
is excellent. See that stable
floors over easements are sound
and strong. Arrange the feeding
racks so that The dust and hay
seed will not fall into horse name
or eyes; some borsemen build their
managers too high, thus forcing
the animal to take an unnatural
and painful position while eating,
Farm horses that are Dot worked
should have their shoes taken off.
and those that are driven on the
road should be kept well shod.
