A Dog Story.

I HAVE a little dog story to add to
those which you publish from time to

widow of the General, found small dog

pleading eyes into her face as she paused
to regard it lying in corner. Mime.
Cavaignac had The dog taken home and
nursed, and ever since it has had strong
affection for her Miraz was never happy

Nine. Cavaignac died. For time Miraz
watched constantly before the door, but
week ago she seemed to give up in de-
spair. When called TO dinner she gave
long howl, turned again to the door, then
rushed away to her bed and never left
again. She refused all food and nothing
was dainty enough TO tempt her to eat.
For eight days Miraz lived without food,
constantly, and on Saturday

Breaking Colts.

The colt should be noticed from the
time it is day or two old; let the dam
find out at this period that you will not
hurt her young, and she will soon lay
aside that shyness which instinct teaches
her at this time. Handle the colt daily
by gently rubbing his face, then patting
1t gently on the back; continue this prac.
tice until 1t is four months old, then pro-
cure good halter mot bride, for its
mouth is too tender to bear bit), and let
one person hold firmly the lash whilst
another puts on and properly adjusts the
halter. Let the rein be securely held, as
this is the critical time of subservience,
and little firmness and precaution may
prevent future trouble; as soon as the colt
discovers 1t is overpowered it will cease
to struggle. Still teach it that you do not
wish to hurt it, and after treating il as
above directed twice or thrice you may
lead II at will. AT about two years old
you can bride it, and lead 1t either to
water or to pasture, especially If the dam
be led before. The writer has raised colts
that could not jump at all, by keeping
good gates to his pastures, though the
mare was capable of vast deal of
mischief. AT about three years old the

period in the life of the colt, which is to
determine whether or not it will ever
make that most valuable of all animals,

the practice and the observation of the

Feed the Farm.

soil with proper manures, or fertilizers,

astonishing to find on conversing with a

indefinite ideas they have about it. Many
of them seem TO regard it as kind Of

The Abuse Of Appetite.

THE appetite is one of the least appre.
ciated OF natures gifts to man. 1t is gen.
orally regarded in this work. a. day world
as something to be either starved or
stuffed-to be gotten rid of at all events
with the least inconvenience possible.
There are people who are not only glad
that they have been endowed with sound,
healthy bodies, for which nature demands
refreshment and replenishment, but they
are actually ashamed TO have it known
that they are sustained in the usual man.
ner. The reason of this we are at loss
to conceive. Everybody admires beauty,
and there can be no true beauty without
good health, and no good health without
a regular and unvarying appetite. We
are disinclined to let appetite take any
responsibility on itself. If we happen to
consider it too delicate, we try to coax it,
perhaps stimulate it, with highly-sea-
soned or fancifully-prepared food. There
are times when this may seem necessary,
as in the case of person SO debilitated
as to depend for daily strength on what
he eats. But, usually, the caioling proc
ess is a mistake. If the appetite of an
individual in fair bodily condition be oc.
casionally slender, il is no cause for
alarm, and it should be allowed to regu.
late ITSELF 1t may safely be considered
natures protest against some trangression,
and it is wise not TO attempt coercion. At
certain seasons, as in spring and summer,
the appetite of even the robust is apt to
fail, and the relish for meats and heavy
food to wane. This is all right enough,
for animal diet in warm weather heats the
blood, tends to headaches, and is gener.
ally unwholesome, unless sparingly used.
On the other hand, fresh vegetables, ber-
ries, fruit and bread are cooling, correct
i've, ard what the palate most Graves.
Don't be afraid to go without meat for
month or so; and, If you like, live purely
on vegetable regimen. We will war.

than is common TO the time, and that you
will not suffer from protracted heat, as
