AGRICULTURAL,

By J. W. Davis, Faiiilkis, Vt.
THIIlD rAFKH.
Now tbc foftl uccda a little caro and
attcntlon. Do not be ovor anxloua to
eco it atnnd up nlono, or bcgln to 11ft
nnd hold It ou its lcgs boforo it has
naturally galnod strcngth onough to
boar its own wolght, but bcgin tho
colt's cducation nnd acquaintanco by
gontly rubbiug Its bond, nock nnd
sliouldcrs, nnd handliug nll pnrtB ot it
as eoon as it brcnthcB nnturnl nnd oasy
ond bcgins to try to rUo. Bo vory gon
tlo nnd easy with tho ninre, nvoiding
ubo of nll loud, harsh wordB or sounds.
Beginning nt this tlmo to bnndlo tbc
little tbiDg, "in its inuocenco," accus
toms it nt onco to your prcBonco nnd
touch, nnd if Bcneibly continucd, it will
not bo nfrnid of or maliclous townrd
you two most vnluablo qunlitics in a
colt. Also, nt tbis time tho mnro will
nlmoBt invnriably nllow it, nnd nppenr
plcnsod to hnvo you bnndlo tbo colt ns
sbo Bcoms "anxious" nbout it, until it
can epring up and run nt her dnngor
Bignnl a low, suddcn Bnort. Vory
frcquontly, lf tbc mnro foula nlono nnd
no ono goes ncar ber until tho colt Ib n
fow dnys, or cvon n fcw houre, old tho
colt is wild nnd tho mnro vicious. Lct
tbo little fellow if on Bmooth grnssy
land, or in a good ynrd or pon with
plonty of Btraw, tloundor nnd tumblo
ns bo mny, ns longne hc grows Btrongor
and makcs progreaB toward Btanding
alonc; as soon ns ho does stnnd up it
mny bo wcll to stcady him a little, still
coutinuing rubbing nnd pntting him
By this timo bo will bavo n good appe
tito, nnd if tho mnro is kind nnd likcs
bim, bo will soon bclp bimsclf to his
natural nourishmcut. If tbo maro
kicks, or Bcems to have n cakcd bng, or
Borc tcats, as tbo colt nttcmptsto nurse,
do not 8cold ber or whip ber, or in nny
wny cxcito her; but carefully hitch hor
with a hnlter aure to hold, nnd strnp up
her forward foot on tbo sido you and
tho colt wisb to work, aB describcd laler
in educating tho colt. Then apply n
very little vaseline or fresh lard will
do to tbe leats ,and tbo bag, also, if it
is caked or Bwollen; carefully with
thumb and finger fitart tho milk a little;
gently work tho colt up and get n little
of tbe milk in its moutb nnd tcacb him
to hclp bimBelf. If tho mnro bns kick
ed or bitten tho colt, n few times, it
may Bometimes requiro quito a little
tact and pationce, nnd may necd sev-
eral repctitionB, until soronees is out of
tho mare's tcats and shc then likcs her
colt bettcr. Of couree, if tho colt is
wenk nnd does not soon gnin strength
enough to gct up nlone he must bo
helped. Don't let him die. If hc can
not get up, don't let him go over two
houra without nourifihment, but, if tho
mare has nny milk, milk a little in n
(llBh, feed it to tbe colt with n spoon,
and repent oftcn. If tho mnre has no
milk, and cow'b milk must bo used, add
an equal quantity of water Bwcetened
with sugar; nleo add a vory little
brandy or whiBkey. Had this not been
done with tbe now world renowned
George Wilkes, that greatest of nll
epeed progenitors, would never have
been beard of.
Now a little more nttention to tho colt
that gcts up alone and Bcems all right.
See that he urinateB and voids all right
within tbo flrst few houra, and tho next
few days. If costive nnd "Btraining"
hc will soon bepastholpif notrclieved.
Carefully nnoint tbo dricd and affected
parts with vnscline or lard, and if in
clined wbile yet very young to scour,
milk out a part of tbe mare'a milk bov
cral times n day bo tbe foal will not get
enough to overload nnd derango its
Btomach and bowcls. If colt scours
badly until it grows weak, loses appe
tite, etc, a competcnt vetcrinary can
prescribo a propor doso of somo ap
proved remedy. We have Baved sev
oral collB by giving a tnblcspoonful of
puro pinc tnr, repeatlng the dose in two
houre, and again in four houra from
second dose, continuing at four bour
intervals until Bymptoms nre favorablc.
This is a very difllcult dose to adminis
ler to a sueking foal, and if not niccly
done makes a very bad job. If notput
well back in the throat and swallowed
it will bedaub the colt's tongue, moutb
and lips and almost prcvont it from
eucking nfterward. Our way of doing
tbia is to tako a bcer bottle, or namall
and strong ono of eimilar shape with
long neck; put in half a cupfull of hot
water and shako well ao as to wot tho
whole inner surfaco of the bottle; bave
the tar heated in a diah and put the
epoonful in the bottlo of hot water
adding a little for what will Btick to tho
bottle and continue ahaking violently
until just cool enough to be confortablo
(or colt to take. We have never lost a
colt under this treatment, and shall
continue to employ it if we have occa.'
aion: butto elve any horae orcolta
domestic or allopathic doae from a bot
tle requtrea skill, and it always accom
panled with some danger of .etrangling
In the ubo of metllcines for tho cure
of dlaeaae in man or animal wo believe
in the eclectic syBtem of all known
remedleB chooBlng the best, whether
of the old Bchool of allopathy, or tbe
newer bomeopathlc, or tho common
eimple remedtes found in the ordinary
housohold, and callod domestic. If nt

Aa wo intond to Bhow lntor, wo do
not boliovo in tho conlinual "wboa,

CoitN. TIio tnarkot baa ruled qulet ilur
Idr theweek, but the tone ia Bteady, with no
inatorlal cliauge In valuea.
BuxTsn. Receipts have been modorate
for the past week and flne fresh Btock baa
well sold up at stoaily pricos.
CHEE8E. Receipts for ezport, 131 boxes.
The arrlvals have been llRbt this week but
demand bas been slack and Bales in emall
lota at easy prices.
Potatoes. AltbonRh the weather has
been unfavorable for trade, a good deal ot
stock bas been moved during tbe past
week, wltb prices well sustained,
Eoas. Receipts have been rathcr llght
for the nast week and tbe market has kect
pretty closely sold up, prices lluctuatlng
between 16 to lTc, accordlng to the Bupply
ouering.
Oatb. The market shows more Btreneth
and spot oilerings are moderate, cauBing
prices to hold firm. Cholce No. 2 cllpped
white oatB on track billed tbrough will sell
up to 3Cc, with fancy cars even blgber.
Lower grades range down as to quallty.
Floub. The market bas maintained a
firm tone ln sympathy with wheat, but it
does not take much to meet buyer's present
needs. Tbere is no reason shown by opera
tors why prices should rule lower, and no
one looks for any break (or some months to
come. Sales are largely conflned to a car
or so here and thoro, and no one is stocklng
ahead.
Wool. Bales for tbe week, 2,525,700
pounds. The market is extremely quiet
and almost featureleea. The prevailing un
certainty and worry over tbe war scare has
for tbe moment Buperseded ordinary busi
ness calculatlons, and is, as in otber Hnea,
causlng general neglect of business. Tbs
absurdity of getting frigbtened is fairly pa
tent, for tbe only possibleeffect of war after
the diBturbance of credits bad passtd.
would be tbo advance of wool and clotb,
War is a stlmulant of demand, but even to.
day its possiblllty bas by no ineans become
a probamllty.
Lcmdee. Tbe week has hardly shown
any better demand for Northern and East
ern erades of lumber tban last. Tbe con
sumption at this time of the year would be
naturauy very ugui anu tne yaru men aro
buvint? onlv what tbev are obllced to. The
yards are of course fairly wellsuppliod with
stock anu are reauy m no neeu 01 maKing
purchases. Tbe car mills are getting some
little demand for stock yet are far from
doing an active business. They expeot to
do much more than they are at present in
Marob and early Aprll. Prices, bowever,
are still down in buyers' favor as tbe com
petition among the mills is vory brtsk.
