Keep The Chickens Growing.

1t is a mistaken policy to stint
young fowls in food. Good, rich food
and plenty of it, is what they need
and no danger of over-feeding if they
are growing and have their liberty.
Old fowls that have their growth, and
are shut up, can easily be fed too much;
but do not fail to furnish the young
ones all they will eat. A good feed of
whole grain OF some kind, just as late
in the evening as they can see to eat,
is one of the means of making fine
stock. Also, give them a plentiful
breakfast of soft food early in
the morning Let no food lie
on the ground or in anything
where it will sour; it will be very likely
to make the little chicks sick. If
worms and bugs are scarce, a little
cooked meat will repay it's cost. A
few cents worth of food given at the
proper season to fine bird, may
make considerable difference in the
price when you come to sell.
1t takes a certain quantity of food
to keep up the waste of sustaining
animal life; SO every ounce of food
properly digested, in addition to this
actual requirement, goes to increase
the size of the fowl. Remember this
and never neglect the growing stock.
Time lost here can never be regained.
Neglect the little chicks and you will
surely see the effects of the neglect in
the mature fowl.

Foundering Horses.

Horses are seldom foundered in
cold weather with water. 1t is when
the horses blood is hot that he can
be foundered by standing in cold wa
ter or by drinking large quantities of
water; and then standing still The
temperature ofthe stomach is reduced
too suddenly and is chilled, which is
called founder. The esudden reduction
of the temperature stops the circula-
tion of the blood, which stiffens the
body and limbs, from which horse
never entirely RECEIVERS. When travel
ing on the road, although the horse be
very warm, he can with considerable
safety be allowed to drink literally, if
he Immediately go forward at the
same gait, as that will keep up the cir
ulation But if horse is hot and is
going to stand still, not over swal-
low or two should at first be allowed
him. Let him stand and cool before
more is given. And the same is the
case with the human system We
have known several cases where men
have taken large drinks of cold water
when they were hot, which either
proved fatal to life or rendered them
invalids ever after. This is the season
OF the year when many q noble horse
is ruined by ignorance and careless
ness. There is no danger of feeding a
horse when hot. But be careful of
cold water.

older eastern states without hearing

his old age in Strengthened financial
condition, as the result of venturing
too far with some fancy European

class $4,000, 900 has been drawn
to enrich a few favored foreigners.

that VS., in this more enlightened age,
can create and maintain breed more
fitted to our needs and climate, and
more satisfactory in every way?
Colonel Jacques's cattle were allowed
to die out from the senseless bigotry
OF that generation, because the people
preferred to pay their money for some
thing that smacked of foreign origin,

have been to the thing here at home.

from the Portsmouth Times. !


Our esteemed contemporary, the Nor
folk Virginian, has done valiant service
in behalf Of just and equitable settle
ment of the State debt whenever that
question has come up for discussion, and
we are therefore not at all surprised to
see that it takes firm stand again on
the right side, now that the matter Is
again being agitated.
Sundays Virginidn says The people
of Virginia are anxious for the adjust
ment of this vexed question upon any
other basis than that of reputation. For
that dishonest course they are not ready,
whether the means be direct or indirect.
1t may be difficult to select from the dill
ferent propositions made that which will
be best for the State and just to the
bondholders; but it is plain as day that
decisive steps should be taken to pay
what Virginia obligations stipulate to be
due her creditors.
Exactly so. The time has come when
the various methods that have been pre-
scented for the payment of the State debt
ought to be thoroughly discussed, and
some plan decided upon for the payment
of the debt in a manner that shall be sat-
isfactory to the bondholders. In other
words, let us discuss some way of paying
the debt, and not how not to pay it. AS
the matter now stands the rich man, with
his large amount of taxes to pay, buys
his coupons at 50per cent, and thus saves
one-half of his taxes, while the poor man,
whose taxes are so small that he cannot
buy a coupon of denomination small
enough, has to pay his taxes in full. AS
we have said before, the Times approves

England and this country ought not TO
find cause for the delay of red-tape pro-
ceedings in the Canadian fisheries matter.
The question is simply, Are American
vessels engaged in deep sea fisheries, with
which Canada has no right to interfere,
precluded by the character Of their busl-
ness from the enjoyment of commercial
privileges in Canadian ports, which are
accorded without question to all other
American vessels? Aside from the veXa-
tious and arbitrary manner in which
Canadian officials have dealt in general
with our fishing vessels, this is the whole
gist of the matter.

against the charge of hostility to the pub

brought against him.
Thus we began: "Too many of the
