To Make q Horse take on
Flesh.

There are sundry condition pow.
ders and tones which are often fed
to horses and produce an increase
of flesh but they must be kept up
or the horse will run down, and in
the end they all do injury. Regu.
lar feeding, faithful grooming,
change of diet, salt always Access
sible, exercise, even il it be hard
work, with sufficient rest, with suf-
ficient pure water, pure air in the
stable, and comfort, with quiet, will
cause almost any horse properly fed
to take on flesh, it not to become
fat. A writer in an exchange pa
per truly says:
"Many good horses devour large
quantities of grain aud hay, and
still continue thin and poor. The
food eaten is not properly assimila
ted. If the usual feed has been un-
ground grain and hay, nothing but
q change will effect desirable al
teration in the appearance of the
animal. In case oil meal cannot be
obtained readily, mingle bushel
Of flax seed with a busllel of bar,
ley, one of oats, and another bush.
ell of Indian corn, and let it be
ground into fine meal. This will be
a fair proportion for all his feed
Or, the meal of barley, oats and
corn, in equal quantities, may lie
first procured and one fourth part
Of the oil cake mingled with it,
when the meal is sprinkled on cut
feed. Feed two or three quarts of
the mixture three times daily,
mingled with peck of cut hay or
straw. If the horse will eat that
amount greedily, let the quantity
he gradually increased until he will
eat four or six quarts at every feed
ing three times a day. So long as
the animal will eat this allowance
the quantity may be increased a
little every day. But avoid the
practice Of allowing horse to stand
at rack we'll filled with hay. In
order to tatten a horse that has run
down in flesh, the groom should be
very particular to feed the animal
no more than he will eat up clean
and lick the manager for more"

SOCIABIL1TY AMONG FARME RS.
There is no class of beings where
sociability ought to be sought for
so much as among farmers. No one
farmer processes to be proficient in
all branches of his business, and as
the plan of operations is more or
less experimental to large number
of farmers, an exchange of ideas
seems almost necessary for the well
fare of each. But it is often the
case, that the duties and position
belonging to this class hinder their
sociability. Scattered over hills
and valleys, often many miles apart,
it is not SO easy to keep up inter.
course with general society. Nearly
all other classes of business men
concentrate in cities and villages,
where they can enjoy a daily ex-
change of thoughts and opinions,
and greatly increase their fund OF
information. In this way ambition
is aroused, thoughts are awakened,
and much is added to the general
happiness of life. Such a state of
things ought to be more prevalent
among farmers. The longer farm
ers live in a solitary way, the less
likely they are to change their hab'
it's. And is it not often the case
that this course of action, if carried
beyond it's limits, results in an I'M
genial, morose state of feelingf The
most ardent and cultivated minds
would become dull and inactive
placed in position that many &C.
cupy in this world. The man who
has access to a large field of thought
and information, will accomplish
more, and meet his designs better,
and with more ease and comfort to
himself, than the man destitute of
information.

Every year increases the popularl-

which is due to merit alone. . We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
Ths scalp by its nss nH GO Xhits
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
