The survey of the oonn- tho Amu nud tho Caspian nil linn It HbouM be Done. Farmers ordinarily run to one or two extremes in tbo management of colts. They either Jfltch thorn up too oarly, too often, and too long, or they lot them run wild altogether till they are of an ago to “ break,” which word in this connection has a vory bad import. It is wrong to eauso a colt to do every thing a horse docs, at a time when it is imperfectly developed and haa but feeble powers of endurance. It is equally wrong to treat an animal in tended for tlio service of man like a wild animal till it ia mMnrfcd and then suddenly sulxluo it. Htill not a few farmers treat the colts raised on. their farms in about the samo manner tho people of Texas do the wild horsen of their prairies. They pay no attention to them till they ore at an ngo to woik, when tboy oommenoe to " break ” them at once. Homo farmers have an idoa that sticking colt should go with its dam all tlie time, aud that tho dam should do the work of a maro that has no colt. Tho colt in accordingly hitched bv a halter to tho side of tho mare, ana is mado to go wherever she goes. Almost every week day tho colt goes to the store, the mill, or tho poatoffloo, and on Sundays it goes to church. Tho colt is taught to travel at all kinds of speed, irom that required to go for the the doctor to that demanded in follow ing a hearse. It in mode to keep pace with tho maro when she is druwiug i load of stono up a hill and when th. Im>vs are driving her to n party. Tho colt is a constant attendant of the more, and therefore goes over all tho grouuu she does. No young animal, from a child to ur elephant, should bo compelled to bo oc ita feot so much of ita time aa to keep pace with matured animals. Tho should always have an op|>orttinity to stop nnd lie down when it wishes to, which is very often. To cause it to main on its root continually, and nt tho samo time to keep up an actjvo speed, in an act of cruelty that should novor bo practiced. Bcaidcs thin the oolt b liable to great injury by tho treatment. Its fuel nro too tender, its linflm too weak, to boar tlio ooutmued strain them. The pulling at tho halter when the colt is fastened to the side of the dam is also very injurious. It tends to injure tlio muscles of the neck, logs, nnd bnck, anil in many ouhoh produce deformities that are aster outgrown. Another grave disadvantage of keep ing tho oolt constantly by the side nt the dam, is that it onuses it to bo wry hard to wenn. If tbo oolt ia kept from her for some hours, it will acquire vory curly tlio habit of eating, so that ing will oomo easy. Weaning nliould ordinarily tnko place when tlio colt ii live or six inontna old. Tho beat way to accomplish it is to keep tho unbinds nt so great a diatnnev apart that they ahull neithor seo or lo ur each other.

No doubt the final result will bo as tue most conservative oould i wish ; while nobody will bo verv much | hurl, yet there will ho a steady and in- j creasing pressure ou polygamy, which , will chock and put it in the course of j ultimate exliootiou. “I occasionally see a statement in sotuo eastern paper that tho Saints will fight before they will abandon polygamy, which is calculated : tu make a man smile who knows their tricks. Thov have already surrender* d I tho only tenable ground on whioh thev ever stood. Two yearn ago the Mormon people unanimously voted for a sUto constitution forever prohibiting polyga* j my and bigamy, and hints already reach us that tiny are willing to do the , same thing ngniu. And here is how they justify such a cluuigivot bo so ; In j ouo of tin 1 7o!ubiiooua revelations of Joseph Smith occurs this convenient I j clause : * Nevertheless, if your enetait s | oomo iu upon yon that you be not able to ! perform these thiuga, then I, the Lord, will not require them nt your hands, - but ye shall l*o freed from the covenant . vo have run o, aud shall not per- ! form these things ; bnt I, the Lord, ! will still request it of .your enemies,’ J etc. Observe tiiat the ‘Lord,’ with J that accommodating spirit lie always j • ardu the Si : nts, proposes | to lot th mctl Whenetir the Oentil.'s | make it hot sor them, *uid take the will for the deed. W « u the state organiiu-. tiou on the compr mis < tiasis was sug- j geatiul this nu wan qboled by all the . elders, aud the people were soon per- 1 thorn to do so—Bp be¥«IA« y right for them to abandon polygamy. I have llttlo doubt that if tho proposi tion was made to the leaders kMnotrow. that all past ofionoes of every kina 5 oould be found to exactly suit the case, aud let them out on that compromise.” Lrt us Cokhh>br.—Binoe the intro duction of distilled spirits in • the six- tecuth century, they have been habitu- idly prescribed as remedies. W« know that alcohol, in all its forms, is per niciona to health. Knowing these things and tiiat under the system of treatment whioh includes their use, tho mortality among tbo sick is, and ever bos bs* n, enormbnn, is it not wdrth while to try tho effect of a remedy which oombines iu their highest oxootlcnoe the qualities of a tooio, on alterative and a regulator ; contains no mineral bane or murderous alkuloid or alcoholic poison ; does ita curative office without pain and with uniform oerlainty ? Dr. Walker’s Vin- egar Bittern fulfills all these conditions, aiul ia now effecting tho moat extraordi nary cures, in cases where every "speoifie” of the faculty Ima ignomim- ously failed. Consider, in view of these Lots, whether any sick person is justified by reason and oommon sense in de clining to tent tho virtues of this undo- filed and irresistible remedy. VisiTon (after having asked all tho other convicts regarding misdeeds and punishment infliotod) —Well, Collins, wlint nro you in for? Collins—Because I onn’t got out.
