1t was formerly claimed by some that
feeding oats to young colts ruined their
feet, but the idea has exploded. There
is much less danger OF injury to the
feet than the stomach from ovcr-feed-
ing, and as rule more stomachs suffer
for the want of grain than from over
eating. The quantity of grain that can
be profitably fed to weanling by
farmers in the country where hay is
worth only from $40 to $12 per ton.
and where the colt must depend solely
upon pasturage from May till Novem-
ber, and perhaps later. can not be de-
termincd by the quantity fed by those
breeders whose colts are entered to trot
at 2 and years of age, and will have
plenty of exercise during the winter as
well as extra feed during the summer
months. Possibly from two to three
quarts OF oats daily. with half that
quantity of wheat bran and all the
choice early cut hay it will eat, will
prove about as much as country farm
ers can proftably feed under ordinary
circumstances. II the colt gets too
much grain or concentrated food dur
ing the first winter its stomach will not
be properly dislended, and when turned
to grass in the spring it can not eat
enough to keep it in a thrifty condition,
hence its growth is checked at period
when il is important 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 rasp than from excessive feed
ing 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 shortened. thus pre-
venting undue strain to the tendons,
which in time is liable to result in SER
ious lameness. The bottoms Of the
feet should also be rasped, SO as to be
kept perfectly level. 1t requires some
knowledge of the anatomy of tho foot
to do this properly, yet every farmer
by examining can see when one side oi
the foot is becoming twisted out oi
shape. and by exercising q little in
genuity can, with a few properly ap.
piled strokes of the rasp, prevent de-
fects, which, il not arrested, are sure
to detract from the value of the ami.
NAL when ready for the market. Most
country colts suffer more from the want
of a comfortable bed at night thar
from lack of feed.

ed stock of staple and fancy dry goods for spring

The facilities which the public enjoy for order
ing (by mail and erpreSs) from The great cities of

order that may successfully compete with Ae,c
York, Philadelphia and Boston retailers to largely
increase my stock Approaching this fact, all
the leading lines of my stock have been bought
in package and case lots direct from the manufac-
turers and their agents. l am therefore prepared
to sell as low any retail house in the United

can make their purchases more satisfactorily

stock over, guaran eeing to nil all orders tor lines
of goods as cheap as they can be bought else

Foar-Morse Troy Coaches Between
Tallahassee and ThoMasvaupe

Tallahassee and ThoMasville.
lish line of coaches between Tallahassee and
Townsville for the purpose of transporting pas
sengers and the mails. In the absence of a rail-
road this is the next best thing TO do.
AS we understand 1t, and effort is being made
to organize q joint stock company to purchase
elegant coaches and q sufficient number of fine
horses to have q relay every eight miles and
make the trip between the two cities in about
Eve hours. The project is altogether feasible,
and we hope the movement will soon become q
success
With this line established parties leaving Tai
lahassee after breakfast would take dinner in
Thomasville supper in Savannah, and reach
New York next evening-about SO hours from
Tallahassee to New York. And wise versa, par
ties leaving New York 10 the morning would
arrive at Tallahassee the next evening Should
this line be established Of course it should and
would receive the contract to carry our mails as
it would take them through several hours in ad-
leave here every day in time TO connect with
the fast train at Townsville for all points east
and North.
In comfortable coaches, a ride of five hours
through the country between Tallahassee and
Townsville, would induce many tourists to
make the trip.
This is something our business men-land-
lords especially should think about and give
every possible encouragement to the enterprise
