Care or Colts.
While climato and soil coutributo largely-to
the bonu muscle, and giowth of the
colt, yet gonorous feeding and comfoitalo
quarters are necessary to insure the de
sirable si.e; euro during the first two
winters generally determines tho future
form of tho colt. Especially is this true
with reference to tho attention he receives
during tho first winter after ho is weaned.
If ho has only rough fodder, and is sub
jected to constant uxposuic, lie is sure to
be stunted. His gtowlh and prosperous
condition seem to strp suddenly after
he is weaned, and he remains at a stand
still thioughout tho nter utd spring,
till tho eailygriissiigaiiistiuth his growth.
Hut then much valuable time has been
lonHn tho period of his growth that can
nover bo rcco oral. Moreover, his system
h.w been stunted, and his subsequent
growth is, like that of tho pony, more in
bieadth than in height. All this is
remedied if sullicicnt food and sholter aro
given to the young colt during tho first
winter of his existence; and if tho sanio
generous tictnicnt is continued during
the second winter, then tho possibility of
stunting him has passed away. Kvory
consideration, monetary and 'useful, of
value and bemity, favors tho horso of fine
size. Whatever specialty tho small horsu
may fill, (ho larger horse will servo much
hotter. Journal.
Some Things that Science Doesn't Teach.
In scalding a hog, does science teach
that if the water is a little too hot tho
hair will not slip, that it is set, and must
bo shaved oft" with a knile? Kvery farmer
should know these things and thoy must
be taught. Do any of tho craduates of
any agricultural school know that in the
building a stack of gram or hay, it must
bo kept fullest in tho middle, and well trod
down? Do they know how to tie up and
shock wheat? Do they know how to wet
a scythe? Do they know that if the
libido is whetted up and down it will not
cut oflT the straw clean, as it should bo
wetted from heel to tho point? Do thev
know how to lengthen or shorten the
plow gear so that the plow will not cut
too deep or too shallow? Do thoy know
how to put up a rail fence so that some
of the jails will not project at the'eorners
w snag the stock? JJo they know how
to put up a Htone fenco so it will stand,
and that tho lone rocks ouirht to bo nut
crosswiso the fence t6 act as braces, and
if this is dono it will riot tumble by ecttle-
Wg?
An exchange claims that a full feed of
hay to horses, following the feeding of
concentrated food, is wasteful, for tho rea
son that it, crowds tho first out of the
stomach before proper digestion has been
accomplished. And so, in order to secure
best results, bay should bo fed at first and
the concentrated food afterward, which
leaves it to become digested with no dan
ger of being crowded away or.out qf'the"
perlormanco of its dei-ncl purpose.
Too severe bits aro often placed in the
mouths of young horses, unaccustomed
to any bit at all, which has the cfl'ect of
making their mouths very bore. After a
horse's mouth is onco soie and then
healed up the mouth becomes calloused
making it insensible to the touch,, and
the horso will then be "hard in the
mouth," which makes him bald to man
age. Tho bits for colts should bo well
wrapped in order to keep them thus in
juring tho mouth. Pittsburgh Stockman.

Baker City, about forty miles from

tho advantage of an extensive mining

M. S. Booth, agent for a Seattle copper

of tho company in' Union county and re

of that county.
I found tho copper initio of tho Seattle
company situated nearly on tho summit
of what is known as the Eagle Creek
Mountains. The mine is in Union coun

pearance of tho mino is an outcropping
of feldspar, in many places as white as a

Red Fish lake, above Sawtooth City, on
the summit of tho Sawtooth range of moun
tains, in tho Wood river region, Idaho, has
dropped throush the bottom. The lake had
an area of several mi'es, and was several
fathoms deep. It wa; on the summit of ore
of the peaks of the range, some 11,000 feet
elevation above the sea, and surrounded bj
heavy timber, which rendered it a delightful
place of resort in tummer for camping, fiahing
and boating parties. The lake has been thei e
since the white min ha known the country,
but lately the day of the occurrence is not
known the bottom fell out. The country
formation is granite and limestone, and an
immense fissure is opened, whether caused by
separation rr settling of the earth's surface
or from volcanio action is not known At
present the bed of the stream is dry, and pre
sents the appearance of a deep grave or valley
on the summit of the mountains. The laku
has always oontaintd millions of redfiah, and
been a favorite resort for bear, deer and
other game. Where the fish went to is as
much a mystery as where the water went.
