Wiu!criu2 FOals,

The season is now approaching when the
proper treatment of spring foals during the
winter season is an important question for
the consideration of the breeder, and to this
end we suggest the following as embodyiDg
the result of long and successful experience.
1t may be set down as well-settled point
that they should not be constantly housed
and pampered with heating grain. Like all
other young and growing animals, they re-
quire an abundance of fresh air and exercise,
and should have free opportunity of INDUCING
in the gambols and fIolics and races to which
their nature prompts them, and which is so
essential in order TO properly distend the
lungs, swell the veins, invigorate the entire
system, and make hardy, healthy, active
horse. Give muscle and bone forming food
in abundance, but feed corn sparingly, and,
if at all, only in the coolest weather. Oats
and wheat, bran and grass, and hay in album
dance will make the colt grow; and exercise,
with protection from severe storms, will keep
him healty. If it is indispensable that he
should ran out and take all the storms as
they come, which, by the way, should never
be permitted, give more corn with the feed,
as that produces fat, which is a protection
from the cold. Were we to be compelled to
choose between the two extremes of close
confinement, with high feeding on heating
grain and no exercise. and the other of run
ming at large IN the fields, exposed to the
merciless storms of winter, with free access
to the corn-crib, we should unhesitatingly
take the latter course as likely 10 develop the
harder, healthier. stouter horse, because we
regard the opportunity for abundant exercise
as absolutely essential to a healthy, harmoni-
GUS development in all young animals. But
generous feeding and secure housing from in
clement weather is not at all incompatible
with plenty OF exercise, and such course of
treatment will bring the youngster through
the winter in perfect heealth, with constitu-
ton unimpaired and growth unchecked
Spirit of the Times.

A Warning 10 Farmers.

You will find on examining your apple
trees, and more particularly your young trees,
upon the last years growth bunch resem-
bling shoemaker's wax, about as large as an
acorn; these punches contain the eggs of the
caterpillar, to be hatehed next spring. and as
there has been doubt in many farmers
minds whether they were caterpillars eggs
or not, I now state what know about the
matter. Some four weeks ago cut from a
tree one of these branches and stuck it in a
flower pot with plant hanging in the win
dow, in the kitchen; the plant being watered
every day kept the limb from drying up, and
to-day they were d vered to be hatched.
should judge there were five hundred scat
tered upon the plant and the limb; on one
bunch in particular counted sixty-fve. They
are about one.eighth of an inch long, per-
feet caterpillar, just such as we had SO many
of last year. Upon putting them under a
magnifyiDg glass they look about one inch
long, just the same old critter we fought so
hard last year. The time to destroy the pest
is now, when the trees are bare OF leaves
cut the punches off and burn them up.

POETRY.
My Wife and ].
BY MARY CLEMMER.

We're drifting out to isles of peace,
We let the weary world go by;
We sail away Ger summer seas,
My wife and L.
We bear to rest in regions fair
The faltering spirit of the mind;
The kingdom vide of toll and care
We leave behind.
How poor to us the proudest prize
Fol, which earth's weary millions Sigh;
Our need We see in two dear eyes,
My wife and l.
This way and that the races go,
All seeking some way to be blest;
Nor dream the joy they never know
Is how to rest.
The Travelling nations rise and fall,
They lift the palm, they bear the rue;
Yet bliss is this, to know through all
That one is true.
They perish swift, the gala flowers,
The laudiug people love to fling;
Waits silence, dearth, and lonely hours
The once-crowned king.
But never shall he faint or fall
Who lists to hear DER every fate
The sweeter and the higher call
OF his true mate.
hear it wheresoe'er rove:
She holds me safe from shame or sin;
The holy temple of her love
worship in.
We're drifting out to realms of peace;
We let the weary world 60 by;
We sail away DER summer seas,
My wife and i.
We sail to regions calm and still,

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Strengthening Swine.

We desire TO express our adherence of the
mode of slaughtering swine so long in vogue,
especially among farmers in our country
towns. We regard it as cruel, offensive and
unnecessary, practice at war with the first
principles of civilization and Christianity
The Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to
Animals would be justified in interfering in
every case brought to their knowledge, and
in bringing the offenders to justice.
Whether this evil practice prevails outside
of New England, we cannot tell; but here il
exists as an inherited and transmitted pecu.
liarity which is absolutely inexplicable In the
midst of so much humanity and refinement
Why 1t is, that at the very seasons of Christ
mas and New Year, when the atmosphere is
redolent with love and good will, and all
hearts are happy, that such barbarities should
be tolerated, we do not quite understand.
AS is well known, swine are generally kept
in the rear of the Westinghouse; their
houses are not intended to be conspicuous
objects, but are Intentionally kept out OIL
sight, and were the luckless tenants there to
meet their fate, the practice would be far less
Objectionable. Those however who are ia.
miliar with country life, know very well, that
when the day of execution arrives, a small
army of men and boys gather around the
disturbed and resisting brutes, and with the
aid Of ropes, and clubs and pitchforks, sue
coed in driving or dragging them out in front
of the barn or shed, usually not far from the
street. Here, in full sight of the household
and all passers-by, the well known butcher
knife does its fatal work, and the pure snow
is crimsoned with stains that the long winter
keeps in sight, and the air is rent with pierre.
ing cries that penetrate through the entire
neighborhood, and linger so long in the I'm.
willing ear that one almost wishes for the
time that he were deprived of the sense o.
hearing.
Aside from the shameful infiction of suffer
ing upon unoffending animals, which is
always reprehensible, we protest against this
practice, as a spectacle which cannot fail to
produce mischievous and even brutalizing
and demoralizing effects. How must the
heart of tho young and tender child be
shocked by the sight and sound of such say.
agery and who does not believe that some
coarser natures here take their first lessons
in brutalism, and learn to gloat on the suffer
ings of brutes and then of the human race
From all evil habits and practices there is
but one sure method ofreform, and that con.
sists in total abstinence. The right way to
cure the inhuman custom to which we have
referred, is to leave it off entirely. In the
western slaughter-houses connected with
the large pork packing establishments, where
a score of animals are slaughtered and dressed
each hour they are first stunned by heavy
blow, and by this humane practice time is
saved, and the subsequent labors lightened.

Oyster Soup.

Empty the oysters into colander, and
drain off all the liquor: then strain the liq-
uor through a very coarse cloth, to rid it Of
all scum, &c. To whole can of oysters,
take quart of milk. Put the milk, oyster
liquor, a level tablespoonful of -four rubbed
very smooth with heaping tablespoonful of
spoonful of pepper, all on the fire together in
faripa boiler Tor put skillet one-third
filled with boiling water, under the sauce
pan, to prevent the milk burning). When it
comes to the boil, put in the oysters, and let
them stew for twenty minutes. or until the
gill of the oyster turns and begins to rutfie
and crimp at the edge. Serve Immediately; ;
for if they are cooked too long, they become
hard, dark and tasteless. If you put the SAT-
in last, it will not curdle the soup. Some add
a level teaspoonful of whole cloves, and the
same OF mace, tied up in net bag, but do
not think them any improvement.

Dr. Pierces Pleasant Purgative Pellets are SO COM
pounded from concentrated principles, extracted
from roots and herbs, to combine in each small
granue, scarcely larger than a mustard seed, as
much cathartc power as is contained in any larger
pills for sale in drug-stores. They are net only
pleasant to take, but their operation is easy-unat-
tended with any gripping PAIN They operate without
producing any constitutional disturbance. Unlike
other eathartics they do not render the bowels
tive after operation but the contrary they estab
lish permanently healthy action. Being entirely
vegetable, no particular care is required while using
them.
$500 REGARD is offered by the Proprietor to any
who will detect in these Pellets any caome other
form of mercury, mineral poison, or injurious drug.
They are sold by Druggists.
