I a raising g od colts, the food that enters into the composition of fle.-h aud blood has much to do with the future val ue of the horse. Hard food makes hard fl -h. Colts should be fed on that kind of food that contains the' most of th constituents of bone and muscle. 1 i.e idea that lias gamed credence in the unsophisticated mind that grain spoils the vouug colt, is a fatal delusion ia tht-v ever require table economy. It grain it is in win- ter, afier they are weaned fnuii their mother's milk. Among the cereals, oats are the best calculated to make firm flesh and solid bone. These should be fed alternately w ith roots to regulate the bowels and supplv tli- natural waste of the body. V :::ig cults require roots in winter as well as sumnx r, if led on nutri tious food. Cut straw" or Lay, iv:cd with irround meal, will save alioiit . one-third of the cost of keeping, and it the most economical food for the blow work horse. It is not adapted to fast wors, except as an alterative to open the bowels and prevent con stipation. It Softens the flesh, re laxes the muscles, and therefore is tiot suited to horses used for fast driving. The amount of grain re quired to keep the medium sized li .rse in good condition, at moderate exercise is about tea quarts of oats p-T d'ay. or its equivalent ill other eronl-. The addition of ten pounds f Lay would constitute their daily tiHowaacc. These rations must be increased or diminished according to the size of the horse, and agreeably tithe labor performed. The most rational standard of feeding is to ap portion out their feed according to the weight of the Fubject to be fed. Let two per ceut. of their live weight in bay and grain constitute the ag gregate measure of their d.iily al lowance. . Horses taken up from rest, after a run to crass or a lie over in tne vard arc soft and weak from relaxed mus cles. They require gradual harden ing of flesh and limb to recover solid condition for service. Hard work on f lit nesn ana wean tegs tenus to im pair the joints and destroy the cori- 'stitution. I.'xercisc,' sweating, and grooming form the artificial cultivation bv w hich the expert increases the phy sical powers of the horse. It clears the wind, hardens the muscles, and increases the artificial circulation, which secures the utmost health and vigor to perform wonderful tasks without danger to life or limb. When the horse comes iu at night, tired and dripping with sweat, Le should be well rubbed down and treated to a good bed of straw, that L? may lie down and rest. It will prevent fevered feet and swelled legs, and leave him in condition to repeat his task next day. The horse is subject to be stalled otT from over-feeding, ovcr-ta.-king. ill-usage aud other causes. When this hapjiens, a run 'out to grass will prove the best medicine. It will often Tcstore them to health w hen all other remedies fail. Good - quality of upland Lay and clear, plump grain are always the cheapest to feed. Mow-burnt Lay or mustr oats are dear at any price. The best food is tbe most economi cal. Decayed vegetable food is lia t'e to introduce disease into the sta ble, wh:ch may destroy its most p:e- cmus subjects. It is poor economy to feed musty Lay or grain at iLe risk of health, wLcn it does not con tain aullicient nutriment to keep the horse in good working condition. We Lave it at last.

In the spring, a brush drawn over this manure, in various directions and many limes, w ill reduce it ami spread it, so that next year's pasture will get great benefit from it; and if the land should be plowed iu August and well pulverized, and sown to wheat in September, the prospect for a w heat crop, as large as grown here, would be first-rate. On a part of this same field, which has 20 acres in it, we last w inter tirew manure fresh from the sLecp-.-heds. The great growth of grass that came of ibis sheep manure last summer enabled us to make this both pasture aud meadow. Five or six acres were mown, thereby making some hay. aud producing a fresh growth of crass that the cattle would eat better than they would the loo rank growth that some way got the start of them earlier in the season. To-day this sweep-manure, part of the field bas a strong grow th of t hick grass that farm stock would like to dig out of the snow, even if it is six inches deep. The crop of wheal that probably will be harvested iu 170 w ill tell those who may tht u be here to see, something of the compar ative benefits of the different ways of applying the manure. Tbe next question asked by Mr Corbin is, "Wiih the disappearance , of snow ia spring, will we not lose very much of the value of our manure by it washing away, before the surface ice thaws sufficient to ad mit of the land absorbing it f '' On some steep side hill this might be so, or if the land is so severely frozen before snow falls that it does not thaw out under the snow, and the saow is carried olTbv some running water, it might carry tht; manure with it. IJut I never saw just thi state of things anywhere I wished to spread manure in the wiuter. Gen erally, any dark, open substances thrown on even a deep suow will soon find its way to the surface of the ground, aud only in very rare cases wiil the saow thaw nway without having first given way under tbe dark substance thing on m and allowed their falling on top of oi me ground while there isyct snow covering the rest of the surface. We do not often spread our manure w here streams of water run even in thaws, or where water iu winter poads up. We seek the high lauds, lh breaks of hillsides and other places that require aid, and spread the manure rather above the line that divides liw good from the poor er laud, think'.ug that in the natural course of thiugs the fertilizing mat ter will work dov.u rather than up hill. A little thought aud care iu applying manure in winter will avoid any loss lrom its washing away when winter breaks ip. A !V!tli Jllnep St-KM to - Ilirb.

A man tben draws the staves tightly together wiih a machine for that purpose, after which two ron hoops are put on loosely to hold them in pi see. This rude, unshaped compound is next passed to a third workman, who 'fastens it in a large lathe, and iu less than a minute the barrel is trimmed to ihe proper size, and is as smooth inside and out as if it had been sand-papered. While it is ia the lathe the bungbole is bored, and a groove is made in the chines to receive the beads, wLich are now sawed and inserted by another machine. The whole pro cess dues not occupy more than live minutes. Prior. TLe New Yoik lUtlUlin publishes a table comparing the prices of lead ing productions of the Lnitcd States iu December, 1873, with the same in December. H74. From the table it appears that, with the exception of corn, b ig products, hops, nnd sugar, there has been an important decline on all the articles enumerated. Tbe decline per cent., on some of the lending articles is as folio as : Wheat, No. -1, 29; flour. 23'-; Scotch pig iron, 11 ; American iron, No. 1, 27; Cotton, iiiiddlinguplauds, ; brown sheeting Thus it appears that the shrinkage of prices which took place after the panic has continued w i: h respect to some important arti cles, down to the present time.
