10 Improve oyster Farming.
From the Baltimore sun.

For several years past DR.. BROOKS also
Of Johns Hopkins Universi y, has been
prosecuting, ,duringthesummer season, the
study of invertebrates in the water of
the Chesapeake bay and off the coast
of North Oarolins, near Beaufort. 1t was
in the Chesapeake bay, some two years
ago, that his study of the oyster led to
that brilliant discovery In respect to its
propagation which, by the extension of
the early experiments, may ultimately
make the artificial propagation ofthe
oyster &c easy as that Of the shade and
other food fish. But If those rest archie 8
had done no more than awaken public
interest In the oyster question, and
especially In the future OF the oyster
trade of the Chesapeake, they would
still have been of service as shoW
the necessity of remedial legislation to
protect from reckless depletion the
natural beds. In authorizing the tenn
p0rary ca ablishment of a seaside labor
atory for,tbe prosecution of Geological
researches either in the waters Of the
Chesapeake or Of North Carolina the
Johns Hopkins University has applied
small portion of its means to practical
end, and no reasonable objection can be
raised to Investigations and researches
which take within their range the study
Of the oyster and the possibility of piO-
ceases that will facilitate its culture In
oyster farms. The. coming season the
marine laboratory Will be ouce more es i.
tabllshed under the charge of DR..
Brooks at Beaufort. A small steamer is
to be placed at his disposition, which, by
the liberality of Mr.. Garrett, will be
supplied with coal free of charge, the
university making such other provision
! for tue station as may be necessary.
There seems to be some reluctance
manifested to the continuance of sea-
side laboratory after the present teason.
The abandonment Of It would be sub
iect Of regret, for the cest is small, and
the further prosecution of the researches
IF DIR. Brooks on the oyster In our own
waters seems to be necessary TO perfect
and bring into use the discovery he has
already made.

l. Never allow anyone to tease or tickle
your horse in the stable. The animal only
feels the torment and does not understand
the joke. Vicious habits are thus easily
brought on.
2. Never beat the horse when in the stable.
Nothing so soon makes him permanently
vicious.
3. Let the horses litter be dry and clean
underneath as we'll as on top. Standing on
hot fermenting manure makes the boots soft
and brings ON lameness.
4. Change the litter partially in some parts,
and entirely in others, every morning, and
brush out and clean the stall thoroughly.
s. To procure good coat on your horse
naturally. use plenty of rubbing and brush
ing. Plenty of ''elbow grease" opens the
pores, softens the skin and promotes the ami
mails general health.
6. Never clean horse in his stable. The
dust fouls his crib and makes him loathe his
food.
7. Use the curry comb lightly. When used
roughly it is a source of great pain.
S-Let the heels be well brushed out every
night. Dirt, if allowed to cake in, causes
| grease and sore heels.
8. Whenever horse is washed, never
| leave him till be is rubbed quite dry. He will
| probably get chill if neglected.
10. When horse comes off journey the
| first thing is to walk him about till he is cool,
! if he is brought in hot. This prevents his
taking cold.
Ii. The next thing is to groom him quite
dry, first with wisp of straw and then with

and allows time for the stomach to recover

animal and enables him to feed comfortably.

| A. Let your horse stand loose if possible,
| without being tied up to the manger. Pain
