How to Feed Carrots.

The excellence of carrots for stock
is generally known, and we have be-
fore shown that caution in feeding is
necessary. We think, however, that
our readers will profit by the following
extract from L'Aoic,tlt,ve:-"The car
rots are excellent when employed as a
tonic for old horses in order to purify
and strengthen the blood but its use
is dangerous for young horses, and
especially for stations. 1t gives them
too much blood, makes them nervous,
irritable, spiteful or vicious when at
work, and predisposes them to apo
plectic fits if they do not take enough
exercise. Geldings and mares might
not be particularly liable to inconven-
fences of this nature; nevertheless, in
all cases carrots should be given with
the greatest moderation to horses of
less than ten years of age. For horses
past this age they may be harmless,
and with oats may constitute valu.
able article of food. Horses eat them
with avidity, especially when they are
mixed with coarse bran. This diet
gives horses new blood, which seems
to restore their youth. Unfortunately
the carrot is not to be had all the year
round. We need not regret this, how
ever. An article of food the effect OF
which is so powerful, is only valuable
when employed for time. Its pro
longed use is of no good, for the body
can get accustomed to anything, even
to the most violent medicines. The
carrot might be very appropriated,
be called the regeneration of old. worn

Bdrnlng the White Dog.

The ceremony of burning the white
dog is annually observed by the Indians
on the Onondago reservation near SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. The Indians are all dressed
in bright colors, and the chiefs and braves
are adorned with feathers and ribbons.
The dog to be burned is first hanged till
it is dead by delegation of sagamores
appointed by the chiefs and warriors Of
the tribe in council. This is done in
secret. The carcass of the animal IL
then aaubed with spots of red paint sig
nifying a sacrifice of blood. Blue and
red ribbons are tied about the animal,
and the legs are fastened together with a
long band of blue ribbon. The dog 10
laid beside stove, while the squaws set
up bowling, and the chiefs and braves
utter incantations in low monotone.
This year Chief Webster made the sacri-
fetal address. He wore a silver crown,
and asked that the sins of the Six Ma
tons be forgiven. A short chant by the
Indians followed, when the dog was
placed in the stove, together with baskets
of tobacco and herbs. The Indians then
departed to their homes.

Newspaper buns.

A writer in the Harrisburg (Penn.)
Patriot truly remarks: We presume that
some people think newspaper men are
persistent duns; let farmer place him.
self in similar position and see if he
would not do the same. Suppose that
he raises one thousand bushels of corn
and his neighbor should come and buy a
5ushel. and the price was only the small
sum of one dollar, or less; and the
neighbor says: 81 will pay the amount
in few days" AS III. farmer
does not want to lie small
about the matter he says, call right. /"
Another comes in the same way until the
whole of one thousand bushels are trust
cd to one thousand different persons, and
not one of the purchasers concerns him-
self about it, for it is small amount
they owe the farmer, and of course that
will not help him any. He does not
realize that the farmer has frittered away
his large crop of corn, and that its value
is due in a thousand little driblets, and
that he is seriously embarrassed in his
business because his debtors treat it az
little matter.
