ing for the production Of q certain
typo OF horse That step il one Of
the first and q very necessary one in
the breeding industry. But after the
foal has been dropped. every thing do
ponds upon the treatment given it.
The time Of year in which the mare
foals must be considered in looking
after the interests Of the youngster.
II the colt is dropped just before the
! spring work commences, and the dam
is put to work. there is call for a
good deal OF caution. The colt should
never be permitted to suckle within
an hour from the time the mare ceases
work. In thesfirst place. overwhelming
by the mare must te guarded against,
and In any case she should be allowed
to get perfectly cool before the colt is
given freedom.
The views OF successful breeders
differ as to the method pursued with
the youngsters for the first few weeks,
but all agree on the one important
point, that they should be Kept con-
tinually growing. This can not be
accomplished by neglect or irregular
treatment. Some mares fail to fur
nish as much milk as the foals de-
mand; and where this state OF affairs
exists the breeder should know it, and
supplement the mothers milk with
cows milk. No matter how
good mixer tho dam may
be, by the time the foal is four months
old. the supply of milk will have de-
creased and cows milk should be
given in small quantities. A little
wheat middlings mixed with the milk
will be found beneficial.
Opinions differ as to the proper feed
!. for. the re4swhiles supplying
milk for the foal. Some breeders feed
hay and oats only. or oats and grass
when the mare can be turned to past
ure. Others feed liberal quantities Of
bran and middlings, or ground oats,
corn and bran mixed, one part each.
The average amount fed is about three
quarts twice each day. If the colt is
allowed to run with the dam he will
early learn to- eat grain with her,
and when weaned his growth will not
be checked.
On most of the large breeding farms
the colts are weaned when six months
old. During the preceding months
they have learned to eat grain and
grass, and do not miss the milk of the
dam very much. II they have been
fed cows milk and middlings and the
feed is kept up the dam will not be
missed at all. Right here is an i'm
portant period. Give the youngsters
all the oats they will eatmup clean,
three times day. with an occasional
feed or potatoes or carrots. These
latter should be cooked, and fed about
two quarts alta time. The pastures
will not keep the youngsters growing,
and hay must be fed literally. Clover
hay is best. II the colt is kept grow
ing the first year. we'll developed
horse may reasonably be expected. ~

with light eyes and hair, and looked
oddly white and cool and insignificant
among the big-bened, black brewed

congregation were sitting in judgment
on her eyes and nose and gown. but
went through with her devot ons in
absolute calm. Old DR.. Mcleod, in

down at her. was appalled, by catching
her pale eye fixed rebukingly upon
him, and aurried through the sermon
in headlong haste.
When the plate was passed for the
collection. honest Bob. in the fervor or
his soul, pulled out a hundred-dollar
bill; but the bride neatly intercepted

Plot Discovered

NEW ORLEANS, June 1S.-The steamship
Wanderer, from Bay Islands and Central
America the 18th ins'., reports that great
excitement prevailed at Ruatan owing to
a reported discovery of plot which the
natives had formed to take possession of
the island and place it under another flag.
The British yacht Rosalind had been In that
vicinity some time and her captain was
ashore the night of the expected attack.
He was arrested, but subsequently, released.
1t was also reported that the yacht had a
cargo of small arms. This occurred about
the Eth inst. The natives were leaving the
island as fast as possible, some going to
Belize and others to the mainland, in what
ever direction transportation offered.
