of his early life, to meet the few OF his
boyhood associates who are yet pursu-
ing LIES Journey. He found only rust
and mildew when he should have met
ripe old men with little impairment by
old age. They had eXemplified in their
lives the truth OF the inexorable phys-
zeal law, as we'll as the law OF God,
that he who buries his talent. that
which he hath shall be taken from him. +"
The habit of dwarfing their minds by
not using them, until they have no
desire for literary or mental culture
had rendered them pitiable objects OF
contemplation. In their eyes there
was no more sparkle of life or intel
ligence, than in the lowest order Of
dumb brutes. Their enjoyment APP
peared to be of no higher order than
that OF the oyster in its native bed .
From their youth up they buried their
talents, and that which they had was
dormant, silent and stupid. SO we
say to the farmer boys, improve your
talent, or you shall not have it to en-
Joy.

Ten Years 20 a Cellar.

this afternoon in search OF legal adj
vice to recover some property he had
been deprived of He told a wonder
full story Of sufferings and privatiOns
he has endured at the hands OF design

has been kept a prisoner in a stone
cellar in the rear OF his step-daughter's
husbands house, on a farm near
Triadelphia, Washington County,
which farm, Moore alleges, lawfully be
longs to him. Fourteen years ago he
married a widow named Wallace, who,
with her only daughter, was living in
Wheeling, W. Va. He brought them
both to his farm. Two years later his
wife died, and one year later his step
daughter, then 81 years OF age mar

whom the girl had known in Wheeling.
They came tolive with Moore. Slayin
was continually borrowing money of
Moore, and on several occasions took
money from under the latter'S pillow,
also from a bureau drawer. When ac-
cused of these thefts, SlaVin and wife
would becOmevery angry and threaten
to murder Moore Finally Slavin cir

Moore were on too intimate terms,
and following this up with a threat OF

Is He Prejudiced ?

A correspondent of the Breeders

in the large cities OF the Atlantic coast.
says: ITO my knowledge this disease
has been around Baltimore, Md, for
ten years OF late there has sprung up
quite a trade from that section to
Ohio and west. There are plenty of
chaps who, as they express it, having
bought the devil will see him again.
Heretofore the best market to unload
n has been the low class butchers but
this Western trade pays better prices,
and as soon as last summers scare
subsidies it will come again. This may
be no more than you know, but
thought that while so many are carp
ing at your treatment of this matter
it might not be out of the way for
those who must heartily approve OF
your course to tell you So Ifthe case

any one else will send a competent de

farmers that they have no time to

such aspirations. They reared large

Trifies Light as Air.

The average production of eggs
to each chicken throughout the
United States is forty-five, writes a
correspondent of the Iowa State Reg
lister, while in the New England States
the average is eighty-one, which goes
to show very conclusively that it pays
to take good care OF the poultry. If
the average production for all the
states was up to that of New England,
the number Of eggs produced in this
country would amount to 1O,919,-
1877, OLA instead OF 5,4S2, 95O,932
Reducing the difference to dozens and
Averaging them at Is cents per dozen,
it would amount to the astonishing
sum of 500, 1852, 2S765, enough to
furnish every woman in the land with
nice little sum to purchase Christ
mas presents with. SO much for car
ing for the little things on the farm.

Oats or Colt =.

1t was formerly claimed by some
that feeding oats to young colts
ruined their feet, but that. idea has
exploded. There is much less danger
of injury to the feet than the stomach
from overlooking, and. as a rule, more
st0machs suffer from the want OF
grain than from oveTeating, The
quantity OF grain that can be profit
ably led to weaniing by farmers IN
this country may average from twoto
three quarts of oats daily, with half
that quantity of wheat bran and all
the choice early-cut hay it will eat.
This will prove about as much as
country farmers can prohtably iced
under ordinary circumstances. Ii the
colt gets too much grain or cOncen-
trated food during the first winter its
stomach will not beproperly dlstended,
and when turned to grass In the sprlng
it cannot eat enough to keep 1t III a
thrifty condition, hence its growth Is
checked at period when it Is lmpOr-
taut that it should be increased. The
feet OF colts suffer much more for the
lack of care IN keeping them properly
shaped by the aid OF a rasp than from
excessive feeding OF grain. The feet OF
every colt should be examined and
trimmed at least once a month, so as
to keep all the toes properly short
ened. thus preventing undue STRAIN to
the tendOns. which in time is liable to
result in serious lameness.
