farmers' tonrl..mit. From the Country Gentlsm&a. C2T EEAEETO C3LT3. Messrs. Editors I have read with touch interest several articles in your paper in relation to rearing and train ing colts, and as I do not consider the eubject exhausted, I will ive you my experience and practice. During the past thirty years, since 1825, I have bred and trained quite a number of colts, and have had no dif ficulty in learning them to be kind and gentle in the harness, or under the saddle, with the treatment I give them. -. For a brood mare, select ono that is sound if you can, but by all means one that is kind to work ; and on a farm she will do almost as much work while raising a colt a3 without, and she can be worked reasonably up to the time of foaling; then let her rest two weeks, and she may again bo put toliht work, such as cultivating corn for two or three hours in a day. And now is the time to commence training the colt, first let him become familiar with you by gently handling him until he is not shy, but will allow you to lay your hand upon him without fear or starting, which will be in a very short time if you treat Kim kindly. Next prepare a halter that will fit Lim ; the Lead-stall should be of leather or some flat substance that will not hurt his head, and the leading string a cord strong enough to hold him, and long i enough to' form a loop large enough j to go around the marc s neck and al low the colt to suck. Now if you have treated your colt as kindly as you should, you can put the halter on him without violence, and after putting the loop around the mare's neck, let some one led her off gently, and if the colt attempts to pull back, just touch him up with a small switch, and he will naturally follow the dam without much urffinj. After one or two lessons of this kind, you can harness your mare "before the single wagon, make the colt's halter fast to the thill stray cn the right hand side of the dam, with sufficient length of rope to allow him to suck, and you can go to mill or meeting without having to chase after a stray colt. The next important treatment of the colt is weaning. This can be done best during the latter part of October or first of November, or as soon as the nights are cold enough to require shelter for young animals. Put your mare and colt into a stall wide enough for both to lay down comfortably in ; make the colt fast with the halter in such a way that he cannot reach-to suck, but allow him to eat oats or some) other suitable grain with his mother; do this at night only at first, allowing him to get milk occasionally for a few of the first days, which will also help the dam about drying up her milk. Now feed them both regularly and lib erally, and give the colt exercise dai ly in an open yard, and he will not miss his milk or his mother j but he should by no means lose his sucking flesh the first winter, and when he comes to grass the second summer he will grow finely. The second winter a colt will do well in an open yard day times, but should be provided with a shed or stable that he can have access to at night, and durig cold storms, as well as all other farm stock. When a colt is coming two years old it should take a second lesson in "honc-ofojy." The bit should be sub stituted for the halter ; a few lessons daily of one hour each, aro all that h necessary in this branch, before the harness is put on and adjusted proper ly, until he is familiar with that as well as the bit. Let it be distinctly understood that during all this training no violence or whipping is to come into the treatment; patience and kindness with good language, telling the colt plainly as you would a person what you want him to do, and he will soon learn to do it. As soon as the colt is familiar, with the bit and har ness, you may hitch him up by the side of his mother before a light sleirh or wagon, according to me time oi year, and drive moderately one or two miles for the first time, and repeat the operation at future times as occasion requires, until this lesson is so well learned that he will always be familiar with it the rest of his life. The colt is now two years old, fami liar with the halter, bit, and harness. Shall it be worked ? My experience says yes, but only at light work and at short intervals, such as is at all time3 at hand on a well conducted farm; but allow no one to drive vouns colts but yourself. My practice is to give the colt the advantage of its dam on the evener, to that degree that he colt can with ease draw its share of the draft, and at tho same time be sure and have no more load than your team can draw without the assistance of the colt. By ' pursuing thi3 course you can work colts and steers sufficiently to have them perfectly trained at three years old, and in better health and condition than they otherwise could possibly be. At three years old put on the saddle, mount your colt, and ride where you please. I say this with confidence, for I never had a colt that was trained to work from two to three years eld, that ' could not be rode at the first trial without any trouble; and the reason is plain, the colt is familiar with the bit, and knows what you mean when you tell him to go along. Now as to the question, at what ac colts and steers should be put to work? allow me to answer this question in Yaakee style," by ashing another, At what age should a farmer's sons and daughters be put to labor ? always Laving in view their moral and intcl kctual imp'roveraent as well as physi cal good?.; ; . : My experience and practice in rear ing and training colt3 and steers, has been confined to their future useful ness in practical life, without any rer gard to the . race or - trotting course ; consequently I make no pretension to 'hat is necessary fcr the "two-forty" sphere ; leaving it for those that have a desire for that circle, to study it for themselves. S. D. Walbrldge. Isorth Bennington, Vt. iraTES A5TD FACTS AB3TTT SEIS. 1. Never kill a bee on any account whatever. '. . " : - 2. There arc rather more than three hundred in one ounce, and about five thousand in one pound, avoirdupoids. 3. A swarm, to be considered a good one, ought to weigh not less than four pounds, it ought either to be returned whence it came, after Jaking away its queen, or be joined to another weaker hive or swarm. ' 4. The first swarm isheadedby the old queen; the others by young queens. Eight or nine days after the first swarm comes off, one or more young queens will be heard, if you tap the hive with your hand gently once or twice in the evening, anddisten, cry ing, "Peep, peep, peep;" that hive h then ready to swarm a second time. 5. Use hives made of wood, and ko rrm?f rnrton thnt. vnn nnn rrivn vnnr 1.1 bees room as th cv requireit: the side- box system is the best. As a genaral rule, swarming ought to be prevented, as unprofitable, unless an increased number of hives is wished for, as one strong stock is much better than three weak ones. ' - '' C. One side-box has been known to contain upward of fifty pounds of pure honey, and to bo taken without kill ing a bee ; and fifty pounds of honey at 2s. a pound, is 5 sterling, which is money. 7. Fumigation is effected by means of the smoke of the fungus jpulveru leixtct, or common "fuzz-ball,' or "frog cheese," which grows plentifully on old pasture, and should be dried in the oven till it is like tinder. The; smoke stupefies, but it does not kill the bee3. When thoy are in' that state pick out the queen, drench them with water in which a little honey has been mixed, and dace the hive containing nothing but these half-drowned bees, upside down, under the hive you wish them to join. The dry bees will go down and lick the others dry, and the whole will then ascend into the upper hive, and the junction will be complete. Let the tipper hive" res: on the under one 8. Weigh all your hives or boxes when empty, and mark upon them -the weirrht. ror the winter support of your bees, each hive, with the bees should weigh nearly twenty-eight pounds ; the richer and stronger the bees are in winter, the better they will be able to work in spring for you. If in autumn they do not weigh nearly twenty-eight pounds, they must be fed up to the proper weight. 9. When a swarm comes off, and the weather. i3 not suitable for bees to go out and get honey, they ought to be carefully fed, or they will starve in their hive. .. 10. Some fine day in spring lift the hive off the bottom board, and scrape that clean, wash and dry it, then re place the hive, and you will have saved the bees an immense deal of trouble, and added to their ffcalth and com fort. Apiarian, in Field. PE0PZE DEPTH TO PLOW. The depth of plowing is a question which must depend on many circum stances. I plow all of my own land from eip;ht to twelve inches deep. Much of it is sandy, and I manure heavily, The deeper such land is plowed, tho better it will stand the drought, because the roots will strike deeper; and on light soils, however much the manure may be diffused, the roots of the plants are sure to pursue and find it. On my heavy, clay sil, in turnirjg over the sod after haying say once in half a dozen years to exterminate the Wd grasses and briers which spring up after a few years, I am su ?piciou!5 that I have usually plow ed deeper than is profitable. In my next experiment, fcr which I am pre paring a large compost heap of night soil and swamp mud, I propose to run the plow to the depth cf about eight inches, apply the compost, .harrow it well, and sow my seed in August, cl early in September. On such land, which has a s trong affinity for ammo nia, there will be little loss by evapor ation, and the young grass roots will 2nd their food at hand for a start. , In afrer life much of their nourishment ij derived from tho air and water; and the heavier portions of the manure they will have to seize upon, before it washes below their reach. For several years I have used the sod and subsoil plow, and run it a foot deep for my hoed crops ; but upon a stiff clay, which has been plowed but five or six inches before, I should deem such an operation dangerous. A deep soil is desirable every where ; but it must 1 e deepened gradually, unless bountifully manured. In a roefcy soil, it is often impossible to plow more than eight inches, though I believe it well estab lished that a granite subsoil, taken even from the bottom of a wclL will become fertile merely by exposure to the air, ho that on such soils we have little danger to apprehend from deep culture.
