TURNIPs FOR HORsEs-The Rev. With
Murray says: g consider Swedish turnins
(ruta beggas) the king of roots for all
young animals which are making bone and
muscle, and for old ones which are being
stalled. l know nothing which will restore
colt in early winter, if he comes to the
barn out of condition, and begins to droop
and stock as soon as he is confined to the
stable, so readily and effectively as Swedes.
L can drive my old horses in winter. when
fed on them, an occasional drive, as well as
L can when fed on corn. | can preserve
their legs i'll good condition, and their
health III sound state, year after year. on
hay and turnips. And l am sure that.
while l can bring colt to a working age
with hay and turnips better than with any,
thing else, | can also secure to myself n
good, hard, lively winter horse, and to the
horse himself a longer and more useful and
comfortable life. Swedish turnips are
economically raised; they make bone and
muscle; they keep the digestive organs in
good condition; they impart vigor to the
nervous system. If you are told that your
colt or your horse will not eat them. let me
tell you that an animal that will learn any
thing will soon learn to like them"

BOILED CHESTNUTs.-Peel Off the shell OF
the chestngts with sharp knife, cover
them with water and boil them until the
skin can be peeled Off readily. Peel this
oil, return them to the water in which
they were previously cooked (unless it be
very dark cover close and stew gently
until they are very tender, drying the
water nearly or quito cut. They are much
whittier and sweeter if the hard "shucks -
are taken off before boiling and they are
nicer to handle. Serve worm for breakfast.
If, however, this requires too much time.
boil them in the "Shucls" until tender.
then rinse them thoroughly with boiling
water, and dry them with a soft cloth. In
this case every plate should be provided
with a sharp knife.

Weaning Colts.

We often, when travelling through the
country in the fall, see colts with q rough.
staring coat, eyes nearly closed, and a
watery matter exuding threfrom, with a
body shaped like squash seed, which but
few weeks before, while running with the
mare, were possessed of a sleek, shiny coat,
eyes bright, and body as round as barrel.
Now the question arises, what is the cause
OF this? | answer, in nine cases out of
ten 1t Is Improper weaving. Nearly every
colt In farming communities is allowed to
run with its mother until about four or five
monts old, when to suit the convenience of
the owner it is turned into some distant
field out of sight, and, if possible. out of
hearing of its mother, there to run and
whlnney, and worry, until it brings upon
itself fever, weakens the constitution.
closes the pores of the skin, and, in brief
the whole organs of digestion become more
or less diseased. All this can be avoided
by a little care i'll weaving. Nv wav of
weaving is this: When my colt is four or
five months old put strong leather halter
upon and place him in stall, and nut Ms
mother in an adjoining stall, with parti-
ton between so arranged that they can see
each other, and if possible get their heads
together. The first day let the colt nurse
twice, the next two days once. feed the
mare upon dry hay and dry feed, and about
half milk her two or three times q dov
until dry. The colt feed upon new mown
grass or fine clover hay, and give him
pint OF oats twice day, and in about two
weeks l have my colt weaned and my mare
dry, with my colt looking as fine as ever.
when he is one year old he has as much
growth and development of muscle as one
TWO years old weaned in the first described
manner. When the mare becomes dry.
colt and mare may be turned out together
again IN pasture.-RraI World

SETTING Our TREES IN THE FAI1-Tr
setting out trees in the fall select those
that are low and stocky, even if you should
afterwards decide to remove the lowe,
branches. 1t is found that such trees aro
better rooted, and Will stand the winter
better than tall, spindling ones Strange
as 1t may appear, four out of every six per.
sons will choose the latter kind in preference
to those that are stocky and well set and
therefore nurserymen are induced to train
thelr trees to suit the market, instead of
what their own judgment and experience
would dictate. As a general thing trees
that have been forced too much in tho
nursery do not succeed near 81 waII &C
trees grown on land of medium STRENGTH
ana Tor the reason that they were stimu.
lated to such an extent in the nursery that
when transplanted to ordinary soil tbo
roots do not find or supply the trees with
tne amount OF nutriment necessary to keen
up their forced demand; and there can bo
no doubt that this early forcing of vouno
trees with putrescent manures is the cbiof
cause OF the numerous failures of Young
trees year or two after being set out.
On examination such trees will be fo1nd 70
contain near the heart dark brown rirc
a sure indication that there has been an
unnatural demand of sap, and which the
changed location of the tree could not SIM.
ply Where young trees have been sub- |
Jected to such unnatural forcing, it is adj
vlsable when setting them out to cut off at
least twO-thirds of the previous years
growth and mulch the ground about them
Tor the space of some three feet.

Tho Agricultural Department Mt
Washington seems to he actively
seconding the efforts of the American
Association for the advancement of
science regarding the preservation of
forests and the supply Of vegetable
productions essential to the welfare of
manufacturers and useful arts among
us.
Thefollowing letter of Judge Watts,
the commissioner of Agriculture, to
DIR. Copes, exhibits the readiness of
that department to engage actively
in the development and conservation
Of these resources in the South. The
reliable person" seems to be the first
requisite and to obtain him evident
ly il the object of the department in
placing the research under the super
vision of DR.. Copes, who will be
pleased to receive communications
from gentlemen competent for the
service. The dreaded want of tanning

does in other thoughtful me6ls minds.
