skill in Latin verse making. The collection Of

Bro. CheeTer, who stan Is as the en-
bodimant of canAid, conservative ag.itul-
tural journalism, expresses his views on
III, New England agricultural society, its
fairs and its officers. Coming from such
source it will carry weight wh'rer'r h.
is known. Oar opinions have been cN
pressed much in the sane way years ago,
and for some years wa have lie. them
quite alone. We again heartily endorse
Bro. Cheever, and say of the old concern,
let it 60
The New England society, instead OF
growing in usefulness from year to year,
and becoming more and more the repre-.
sentative of the agriculture of these six
states, has of late been constantly losing
ground in the hearts of the farmers and OF
the people generally, till they are about rs
ready to attend its funeral as its anniver-
,ary. Indeed, a good many of its cd
friends % they turned their backs on its
oates at Worcester. this year. could not
help feeling that their goodbye was a las.
goodbye to this old society. There is no
iisputing it, the society is badly fossilizsd
Blood that ran warm twenty years ago
has grown cold, and men who had ambi-
ton then have reached the object of thcit
ambition, or have no longer thefnecn.ive
fowork, and young men, especially Young
farmers, are not taking ho'd w any
degree of interest in the wolk Whc others
seem to be neglecting.
1t is question that is being asked by
n GOOD many farmers who have watched
the course Of this society for a few year;
past, what is the work that this organize
lion is expected to do? What field has il
to operate in that is not already covered
Nv other organizations? The answers are
not always satisfactory. The society Is
felt to be a rival rather than an all &c
hose with less comprehensive title
Hints have been thrown ont thai the Oil
association ought to be reorgeniz.d or q
new one instituted in its place We have
no faith in any attempt to remould the ole
nor much hope for new, unless estab
lished upon an entirely different basis
There is really no call for any such organ
izl,on as the New England agricuiura
society has been of late, or is At tn
present time.

PINK EYE IN HoRsEs.-Dr. c. +. Page |
writes to the editor of the Boston Medical
and Surgical journal as follows:
The custom of working or exercising |
horses directly after eaing; of feeding |
them directly after hard work and before |
they are thoroughly rested; batting at
noon when both these violations of a nat.
ural law are committed; these are the
predisposing causes Of pink-eye, and OF
most diseases that aillct our horses. Keep
the horse quiet. dry, warm and in pure at
mosphers. The nearer outdoor air the
better, and stop his feed entirely at the
first symptom of disease and he will spec i
lily recover. As prevention is better than
cure, horsemen will do well to heed the
hint here given and keep their creatures
from contracting this or any other ailment
1t has been demonstrated 10 tens Of thous
ands Of cases. in family life, that two meals
are not only ample for the hardest and
most exhausting labors. physical and
mental, but altogether best. The same
hing has been fully proved in hundreds
Of instances with horses. and has never
in single instance failed, after a fair
trial. to work the best results.
An hours rest at noon is vastly more

horse or man, than meal of ny Sort

possible, early enough for practical slom
ach digestion before the muscular and
nervous system are called into active play !;
the night meal offered long enough after
work to insure a rested condition of the
body; diet liberal enough but never
excessive; this is the law and the gospel
for hygenic diet for either man or beast.
Ii it be objected that these conditions
cannot always be fully met in this active
work.a day world, / reply, let US meet
them as nearly as possible. We can, OF
course, do more than this; but we can
come nearer to the mark on the two mea

to fatten my horses, for long ago learned
that fat is disease; but l have always
