We bes lieved that the great difference found in horsesjas to vicious habits or reliability comes more from the different manage ment of men than from'variance of natu ral disposition in the animals. Horses with high mettle are more easily educa ted than those of less or dull spirits and nfi? .more’susceptible to ill training and consequently may be as good or bad,ac> cording to thejcducation they receive. Horses with dull spirits are not by any means proof against bad manage ment, for in ;hem may often be found the most provoking obstinacy ; vicious habits of different characters that ren der them almost entirely worthless,— Could the coming generations of horses in this country be kept from their days of colthood to the age* of five years in the hands of good careful managers, there would be seen a vast difference in the general characters of the noble aniv mals. If a colt is never allowed to get an advantage,it wilPnevcr know it possesses a power that man cannot control ; and if made familiar with strange objects it will not be skittish and nervous. If a horse is made accustomed from his early du\s to have objects; hit him on the heels, back, and hips he will pay no at'* (cation to the giving out of a harness or of a wagon running against I 'him 'at an unex pectcd "Wo once saw an aged lady drive a high spirited horse attachecLto a carri age down a steep hill with no hoid-baok straps upon the harness, and she assured us that there was no danger, for her son his horses to all kinds of usa ges and sights that commonly drive the animal into a frenzy of fear and excite -meat. -‘A guri can be fired from the back of a horse, an umbrella held over his head, a buffalo robo thrown over his ceck, a railway engine pass close by, his heels humped a with stick,and the animal take it all as a natural condition of things, it only taught by careful management that he will not be injured thereby.— There is great need of improvement in the management of this noble animal; less beating wanted and more of educa tion.—ln-Door and Out . 1 itemed y fbr CliicJten Cholera. Good rules for success iu the manage ment of fowls: 1. Good dry houses, well ventilated, j avoiding draughts. f 2. Keep your hen house clean, and the floor covered with ashes. 3. Whitewash inside monthly from M arch first to October first. 4. Feed regularly, but never over feed ; cease feeding when the fowls cease to run lor it. 5. Scatter the food on the ground when the weather will permit. 0. Feed mixed grain or alternate, as coru one day, oats next, wheat next, etc. 7. A'low adult fowls freedom as ear ly mornings as they desire. 8. Keep hens with chickens in small coops (well covered and dry) until the chicks are three weeks old. 9. Feed chicks morning noon and late afternoon ; cooked food morning, and grain, as broken corn, wheat, etc., noon and afternoon. 19. Mix ground black pepper, with the morning food for chicks' twice a week, one tablespoonful of pepper for every twenty chicks. 11. Grease the hen well under the wings breast ; and fluff feathers as soon as the chicks are taken off, with ointment made of lard and carbolic acid ; ten drops of acid to two tablespoonfuls of lard. 12. Observe the above rules strictly, and you will havo healthy fowls. If cholera should appear, have the following prepared at any drug store, and full >w directions : Black pepper, one drachm ; sulphur flour, one drachm ; extract gentian, (solid) one drachm ; and extract stilin gia compound (fluid), one drachm. Mix. Make twenty-four pills. Give two pils night and morning for two or three days. 1 have thoroughly tried these pills, rad have not lost a single fowl. When mv little chick look droopy, I make twelve pills of one of the large ones, and give them night and morning. 1 lost a chick except by hawks and drowning this spring.— Car. Plan tation. ——- — Trees About Farm Buildings.— A goodly number cf shade trees about the farm buildings add much to the gen eral appearance of the place, as also to comfort of man and beast during the hot days of summer. But many make the mistake of planting too many large growing trees near their dwellings, which in time exclude both light and eir, and cause the building standing constantly in the shade to become uu healthly. In cold climates, deciduous trees should always be preferred to ever greens, when planted in position likely to shade the house, because it is only in hot weather that shade is desirable, and in winter all the light and solar heat to be obtained are required for health. As h rule, w3 would say, keep ail trees of larger growth at least 100 feet from a dwelling house, u ing the intervening space as a lawn, in which may beplantd mall growing trees and shrubs. Evcr ,tceu turn* should be employed exelu f-voiy for ornamentation, or as vvind * cak*, but never for shades. Advertisements. (hi*) 'I>YY at home.
