son is 80 startled, how much would it i'm
prove the matter to be scolded at or Civ
en- the whip? just as much as the same
treatment would in the case of the horse
Harshness only aggravates the matter.
The more the horse is scolded and whip
ped the more nervous he gets, and every
time he passes the place where the whip
ping occurred he will recollect the un-
pleasant affair, and he will begin to
prick up his ears, and fidget, ready for
another Jump. Give him the lines and
he will go by in hurry. The proper
way il never to strike or scold horse
that IS startled or frightened. Speak to
him cody, calmly, and kindly give him
time to see and collect his scattered
senses, and make him feel that you are
his friend and protector. When he sees
that all is right, there is an end to all
further trouble. We have seen horse
refuse to cross an unsafe-looking bridge,
but when the driver took him by the bits
and walked ahead, the horse cautiously
followed. Next time he required no
coaxing or urging to cross the bridge.
He might have been whipped into it at
first, but this was the milder course, and
the horse showed his confidence in the
driver afterwards.

it to the crew. He then gave the culprits,
who confessed their guilt, and who begged
most piteously that their lives be spared,
their choice of three manners of DEATH
They might jump overheard, they might
eat the soup, or they would swing at the
yard. Both instantly jumped over

| Some four months after the departure
of Captain Pinas on his last trip to Afri-
ca, the writer had happened to be in Ba-
varia. On the wharf he met a friend, who
said:
sFHave you seen Pinas? He's back, and
! is at swords points with the syndicate
that fitted him out for the coast. He
| landed his blackbirds at Guatanamo, east
! of Santiago, sold them for several hun
dred thousands of dollars in cash, gave
his mate liberal part of the proceeds,
| paid off the crew, settled with the Custom
House authorities, and burned his vessel.
! He told all these circumstances and other
details, I understand, to the syndicate,
but on being asked when he would go to
the Office and settle, cody told them he
| had no settlement to make that would
suit them"
! Pinas made a fortune, but it was poor
expedition for the syndicate The cost
| of the vessel and her outward cargo were
not their only losses. It was indispen-
sible in those days for slave importers to
settle in advance, and on a cash basis,
with the highest authority of the island
for permission to land slaves unmolested.
| The syndicate sought out the confidential
agent of the Captain General, to whom
the bride money had been paid, explained
the hardships of the case, and said that
it would only be just that this money
should, under the circumstances, be re-
ceived this verbal answer to their appli
cation:
II am instructed to say to you, gentle
men, said the confidential agent, 'that
the Captain General sees no reason why
the money should be refunded. He says,
and correctly, that you agreed to pay the
money if the slaves were landed. You
paid the money, and the slaves have been
landed, and there the matter ends. He
instructed me to say, also, that you really
must excuse him from taking any part in
any petty squabbles among yourselves
concerning any division of profits"

UdTt OF UUINtS.
Minnesota Farmer.

Early care decides the size and quail
ties of nature animals. This will be
found very noticeable in cattle. The calf
that gets good start, and receives prop
er treatment until it arrives at an age
when it is fitted to take its chances with
full grown animals, may be counted upon
as the most profitable. In the dairy this
matter is too often lost sight Of, and for
the sake of immediate profits the herd be-
! comes neglected. Cheese and butter may
take from the milk large share of the
! fesh-fOrming matter, or that part which
| young animals need most. 1t is recko1ed
that cheese takes about four-ffths of the
nutriment from milk, and butter somewhat
less. We find that something must be
supplied for this loss or the milk becomes
unfit for the purpose it was intended. The
| best and most convenient substitute is oil
meal. Some of the most successful dairy
men and stock raisers claim even better
results from feeding little oil meal than
when pure milk had been used. However
it must be fed judic1ously on account of
its highly concentrated properties. Prof.
L. b. Arnold, the we'll known dairymar of
New York. says that the proper allowance
of oil meal for a calf three months old is
one pound per day when fed with whey,
and little less when given with good
skim milk. In order to prevent securing
and 10 make digestion easy, the meal
should always be scalded Or cooked with
the milk. If oil meal should prove little
too laxative, part corn meal may be sub
stituted. Bean and pea meal are rich in
flesh forming elements and are often fed
with excellent results. The calf ought al
ways be permitted to suck until the milk
is fit for use, In feeding oil meal the
start must be made with moderation.
Begin with spoonful at time, and
gradually increase. Nature has adapted
cattle to bulky food which fact should be
recognized. The young require it in their
Development Little calves will learn to
eat grass when but a few days old, and it
is one of the best foods that can be pro-
vided. Bright well cured hay is always
reIished, even with an abundance of other
food. It's bulkiness gives expansion to
the stomach, desirable tendency in max
ing good COW. Pure water should be
accessible at all times. A young animal
should never be confined in damp quar-
ters. Comfortable stabling and pro-
lection from storms is essential for dairy
cattle.

A SagaciOus Mare.
Virginia City Mountain.

A remarkable instance of the sagacity
of a mare has come to our notice. John
Fletcher owns a mare, which he runs in
d pasture adjoining his house. The mare
has a young colt at her side. A few
nights since, after Mr.. Fletcher had re-
tired, he was aroused by the mare com
