r w aterlua of Horse aflerlFecdln. The National Live Stock Journa?, in giving direction for the care of horses, says: "Another common fault in the alimentation of horees is the leading to water just after a full feed f grain. The first effect of this is to largely dis tend the stomach; and the result may be as serious as if the material wer mas ticated grain and saliva. But. should this danger be avoided, matters are not necessarily left in a better state. The sudden and excessive influx of water is likelyuto wash much of the contents of the stomach into the in testines before the nitrogenous prin ciples have been digested, and fer mentation, extrication of gases, over distensions, colics, and inflammations result. Even this is not all. The ap plication of an excess of cold water on the mucous membrane of the sto mach and intestines causes vascular congestion and violent muscular con tractions, so that all tend to digestive disorderofa dangerous nature. Copi ous draughts of iced water are hurtful alike to man and beast. If it must be taken it should be in small quantities only and frequently. But a drink of water of moderate temperature, just after a feed of grain, is full of peril to the soliped. Thirst should be allayed before the feed is given: and if any is allowed after, It should be merely a mouthful, until the lapse of one or two hours' time has been had for gas tric digestion. After a feed of nay there is comparatively little danger. From the excessive salivary addition to the hay, and the comparatively small amount of its albuminoids, these are rapidly dissolved out and diges ted, and the further addition of water is often rather favorable than other wise in hastening its progress into the bowels, where the digestion of its starch, sugar, fat and other respira tory elements may be completed. Plait Culture Profitable. In the Report, Jan. 1, 1877, of the Connecticut Fish Commissioners, (Messrs. Hudson, Pike and Bill), we read: "There are few enterprises. en joying public attention at the present time 'that promise more profitable results than the multiplying of food fishes in fresh water ponds. , - It is the belief of all who have studied the subject, that fresh water fishes of all kinds can be multiplied almost in definitely, and so cultivated as to be improved not only in quantity but in quality, and made to be the cheapest of cheap food. This fact should be re peated over and over again, until every one who has a patch of water on his premises large enough for tad poles and shiners, can make it yield an abundance of wholesome fish food, at not half the trouble and expense with which he cultivates a like patch of ground. The food thus produced is toe-much neglected by the farming community; it affords elements of nourishment necessary to a healthy condition of the body, for which no cheaper available substitute can be found." The Report describes 256 ponds of 5 to 2,000 acres each, in Con necticut alone. "These contain a considerable number and variety of food-fishes although probably not a thousandth part of what they may be made to produce at a little expense of time and money. Besides these (256) large ponds, there are a greater num ber of ponds, of less than five acres each, that are in like manner capable of development." We would like to see a similar report of the capabilities of other States. The subject is one of great-interest and importance to every State. Those not abounding in lakes and ponds, have rivers which may be easily stocked with food fishes, doubtless at a great profit. Ameri can Agriculturist. Kogar Beet Valuable Experiment. WeJiave been shown a letter from Capt. W. W. Lobdell, of the Lobdell Car Wheel Company of Wilmington, Delaware, to Hon. Kemp P. Battle, President of the Unversity, convey ing information of great interest. ' 'You will probably remember (writes Capt. Lobdell) that some experiments were made last year in your State witlTthe sugar beet. Col. Heck sent me a few, which I have had tested, with the remarkable result of 16.2 per cent, of sugar, by far greater than any grown here or in New Jersey from the same seed. Mr, Pusey, the gentleman who is taking so much interest in the matter, and under whose directions the experiments were made, says this is equal if not superior to the best results obtained in France or Germa ny. I know you take much interest in the prosperity of your State, and when 1 come out I hope to be able to bring with me additional information that will be of interest to you. I am firmly of opinion that by growing the sugar beet, North Carolina can be more independent, more self-sustaining than ever." Experiments with the sugar beet are in the right direction. If its cul ture could be introduced into North Carolina, not only would the great drainin consequence of millions spent for sugar and molasses be prevented, but with the refuse after the sugar is made could be fattened great herds of cattle, thus adding to our meat and cheese product, and supplying vast quantities of home-made manures.

ON THE 16TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1876, and in the city of KALEIGH, the undersigned will commence the publication or The Observer, a DAILY and WEESXY Democratic newspaper. Of long experience m their profession as is editors, respectively of the Fayetteville Observer and the Wilmington Journal, they do not affect to doubt the soundness of the general judgment which as signs them ability to furnish a newspaper suited to the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people of North Carolina. Differing in politics in the olden time, there was never a difference between the Ob bervkr and the Journal in zeal for the interests and honor of North Carolina. To promote the one, and to uphold and add to the other will be the ob ject of the Obsbrvbr now. Of very decided opinions on questiona of public interest, and apt to give those opinions plain ex pression, they deem it the first duty of a newspaper to furnish its readers with the information necessa ry to the formation of their opinions, to publish all "the news;" and their purpose is' to make The Observer now, as of old, a truthful, accurate, con densed history of the times in which we live. It was thus that "the old Observer" won its hold up on the people of North Carolina, enjoying the affec tion of its party friends, receiving the respect and confidence of its bitterest political foes, and com manding in its comparatively isolated location a circulation larger than has ever been attained by any other North Carolina newspaper, and it is thus, by like dignity and fairness that the editors of The Observer, transferred to the State Capital, hope it will deserve, and soon equal, and then surpass, its former circulation and prosperity. It will be their high aim to deserve the public con fidence by earnest effort to promote the public wel fare, first and foremost of North Carolina, next of all the Southern States, and finally, and through these, of the whole Union. They think that this can only be effected by the prevalence of Democra tic principles and the dismissal of the Radical party, from the places and power which they have so greatly-abused, and under whose baleful rule the South has been outraged and the whole country has been impoverished and disgraced PETER M.

It circulates extensively in the coun ties of Robeson, Richmond, Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Brunswick, and in the adjoining coun ties of Marion, Marlboro' and Darlington, in South Carolina. As a Local Newspaper it has no superior. It Is one of the few country papers whose Editor and Publisher gives his whole time and attention to its columns. In Politics the ROBESONIAN will strive to pro mote the principles of the Democratic-Conservative party, and is uncompromisingly in favor of White Supremacy. Its Local columns will always teem with the latest and best news, written ia a brief, in telligent and buainess-lfke manner. Its editorials will be short and lucid and upon subjects which directly concern our people. As an advertising medium it is much Bought after and has a patronage second to ne oth country paper.
