The Care of Colts.


When colts are weaned they should never
be put with older animals of their own
species; q few together, with abundance of
room, will do best, and the attention should
be from one person who has sense enough
to discover any little matter going amiss
before it is serious-or, in other words, he
should have the gumption to prevent every
ailment horsefesh is liable to. instead of
waiting to cure it.
For instance, there may be colt among
several which is SO shy and nervous that he
is afraid to stand up and eat with the
others, till his share is nearly consumed;
in masticating, which would lose much OF
his share, and thus these animals would
pine away, for, if enough was gwen SO that
there would be more than the bOldest
would eat, it would still be wrong. as there
would be a cloying of the fast eaters. This
matter could easily be remedied by separa-
ton, and other preventiOns adopted in time
to meet every contingency, but in no sue
cessful undertaking of horse raising would
there be constant use OF drugs or a resort
to quackery.
Colts are less subject to disease than
other young stock, and can be raised with
out any cOddling; and when 1t must be
known by horsemen in America at what an
early age the thoroughbreds are brought on
the turf. it is extremely surprising that
they should be content to raise their colts
in such fashion as to have the American
twO-year-olds no fOrwarder than the En-
glish yearlings; l appeal to Englishmen in
America, or to Americans who have visited
the agricultural districts of England and
attended the horse fairs there. to say
whether the two-year-old farm colts are
not forwarder than three-year-old ones
here.

The farm is, to a certain extent, q manu-
factory. The farmer can easily prepare
fertilizers OF the farm at reduced cost
that will be of better quality than can be
bought, considering the expense of trans
portation, bagging. etc. Many substances
that are procured on the market as fertiliz-
ers can be made more serviceable on the
farm by changing them in composition.

weeks the bones will be soft and pasty, and
there will have occurred several chemical
changes and the formation of salts that
completely break up the original combina-
tions, the principal salt being phosphate OF

the lime of the bones and uniting with the
potash. There will also exist in the mass

monia, the only labor required after filling
the hogshead being to keep the ingredients
moist.
If urine or fresh manure be added to
bones and ashes and the mass kept moist,
heat will quickly be generated, and not
only will there be no loss of ammonia, but
nitrates will be formed. Much depends
upon the degree of heat and the quality of
the ashes. but the fertilizer SO prepared

The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press. in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: The sunshine has re-
turned, and has benefited the northern
and western sections somewhat. Elsewhere
the benefit has been trivial. The wheat
crop of Great Britain is reckoned at thirty
bushels per acre. The yield in Ireland is
estimated at 100000 bushels. making a
total of IS, 1880 bushels. Samples of good
weat are rare. The values of old are steady.
The sales of English wheat during the past
week were $50 quarters, at Sis I'd, against
10, 76S quarters. at Sos i'd, during the CORE
spending week last year. The trade
in foreign wheat is quiet. and prices
have, declined cd. The certainty that
a failure of the Russian and Indian crops
will be supplied possibly by large ship
ments from America makes buyers cautious.
Flour is quiet The strike causes stagna-
ton in the foreign grain market. Oats are
Sd dearer. Grinding barley is Sd cheaper.
Rye has declined. Corn is SdG6d lower.
Beans and peas are dearer. The inquiry is
slack. AT to-day's market there was thin
attendance. New English wheat sold at
32sa35s. Splendid samples of new Duluth
We're quoted at 37sa 3Ss. Corn was sd
lower, except for guaranteed delivery,
when 25s was paid. Oats were Cd higher
for future and sd higher for immediate de-
livery.

stand by the sub Alliances in any difficulty
arising from said resolution, land be it further
ResOlued, That we will not support any

of our property by few corrupt officials
that are determined to try to deprive us OF
them.
