THE BULL AND THE sPRPENT.

n. Y, Sun.
The nsw design for the oleomar
garine tax stamps, that OF "a bull
trampling a serpent under foot in
the CENTRE" is hardly true to ma
turc. The hog, not the bull, is the
natural enemy of the serpent. The
hog usually prevails in a combat
with the serpent, and concludes the
entertainment by dovouring his ad,
vcrsary, while in n fight with Il bull
venomous snake is quite capable
of fatally woundIng his bovine foe,
The design would be much improv'
cd by substituting q boar for tho
bull.
But, whether altered or not, is
not such design in conflict with
the ideas expressed in the Prcsi'
dents message giving his reasons
for approving the Olcomargarlnc
bill?
We suppose the serpent the man
ufacturo of oleomargarino, being
crushed to death by tho national
bull.
How does this accord with the
intImation that the tax imposed by
the new act was not calculated 10
rcpTcss the oIeomargarinc indus
try, but was designed merely TO
raise revenue thereon
Tho bull and the serpent, at all
events, truly express tho purpose
which Congress had in view,
though tho President obviously
winkcd at it. This was not TO tOle'
rate, but TO destroy.

BROOD MARES AND COLTS.

Practical Farmer.
Tho mare should be given rOomy
stall; as liberal diet of oats, bran
and hay as necessary. If mares
foal in carly spring, or at any later
period, it is essential 10 the we'll
being of the offspring that they
should be turned on pasture tor at
least three weeks before ioaling,
to get used to the change
from dry food; foals will
stand what exposure the dams
have been accustomed to. How
often docs one hear of the loss OF
foals from cold, inflammation or
diarrhea through mares being turn
ed out on succulent pastures for
tho first time after foaIing. Mares
kept for breeding purposes only
not required to work-aro better
for having dry food gwen on pas
ture during winter. For n tlmc
after foallng, mares should have oats
given them morning and evening
then grass alone will be sufficient.
Foals when n month or five weeks
old, should be shut away from their
dams for an hour or two each day
10 be taught to cat dry food, such
as bran and ground oats. Before
weaving the toals can be separated
from tho mares longer at a time /;
and thus, when taken away entire
ly they will not lose flesh to the
same extent as they would if sud
denly taken away from their moth
ors and wcancd. 1t is strongly ad
vised to raise young ANIMALS on
pasture instead of in loose boxes
or warm yards. We do not, how
over, wish to be misunderstood rs
supposed to be advocating this
treatment in all cases-as in tho
case, for instance of backward or
delicate foals. We have never
known q case of injury from eating
frosted grass. By this treatment
the growth of bone, muscle and
hair will be encouraged, the elias
ITCHY of action retained, whiio the
danger of getting over on their
joints or letting down at their
hooks is reduced to minimum.
Foals require good and suitable
dry food during the winter months.
AT no other period OF life will they
SO well repay the outlay.
Size will never atterward be OBJ
tanned unless the foals are well
grown when young.

STATIONARY BLIss.--A very laugh
ablo thing happened recently at
Bridgeport, Conn. They had been
putting down a new granolithic
pavement, and the last slab TO be
laid was still green. This peculiar
composition when first put down is
very sticky, but dries quickly and
becomes as hard as IRON. As said
before, the last slab was still green,
and a spoony young couple in stop
ping to say goodnight, happened
to stand right on this particular
slab. AS every one knows who has
been there, it takes long time for
couple oflovcrs to say goodnight,
that is and mean 1t. They may say
goodnight, but there is always
more or less kissing TO follow, and
as it generally tastes like moro,
the dose is repeated several times.
Well, after the young couple in
question had fingered on the SUI
burbs of each others lips for about
twenty or thirty minutes, they
finally decided to close the deal,
and after one more fond embrace
attempted to part company, but
the slab upon which they had stood
had hardened any they were ac-
tually rooted TO the spot. In vain
they tried to release themselves,
and as a last resort thoy yelled for
help. A night Waterman answer
cd their cries, and with the help
OF a pick axe succeeded in digging
them out.

Expect OF IMPROVED BREEDS.

An Illinois dfoveF and butcher
says that twenty-five years ago it
was very difficult to find yearIing
steers that would weigh 500 pounds
live weight. They wcro not con-
sidered fully ripe until four years
old, and then l,500 pounds was
considered an extreme weight.
The feeding now is no better than
then, or at least pot more costly.
Solely by improved breeding it is
found possible to produce year
lings that weigh 1000 pounds,
three-yeaf-olds heavier than the
old four-year-olds, and full-grown
steers weighing 1000 pounds Or
more. There is certainly no more
bone and frame in the improved
stock, and tits consequently worth
more per pound to the butcher. II
it has taken more feed, it has
returned a larger proportion to
the manure heap.
