Extracts from CuUif on Live Stock,
Domestic aalmals, at different aces, being called or known by dif>
ferent namts, in different parts of the kinudom of Great*Britaii!, itmay
not be amiss to note a few of the principal distintiion9 i —
A stone horse or staliion, is the name by whith the fall-grown mala
of the horse kmd is distinguished. — Whilst surking, he is a colt foal;
then a yearling colt ; afterwards a two or three yeurs otd colt, until
J^our, «hen they are most commonly called horses.
The female is cnlUd a mare ; when sucking, a mare or fillif^foal;
then a yearling filly ; afterwards, a two or three years old filly ; and
aiybiir, beeoiites a mnre.
The general name of the male in neat-cattle is 6ti//; during the
time he sucks, he is called a bull cttlf, until turned of a year old, whea
be is calle/1 a stirk or yearling bull ; then a f}470, three, or four
years- old' bull, until six, when Me is aged : — but when castrated or
gelt, is callt'd an ox, or slot calf, until a year old, when he is called
a stirk, stot, or yearling, then a two yearS'-old- steer, and in som'9
placts, a t winter ; at three, he i« called h three year old steer ; and
Sit four, he first takes the name ofoj? or bullock ; —though formerly,
I believe, the castrated male was not callt d an ox or bullock until siif
years old, when he is looked upon to be at the best, though some peo-
ple think an o% improves until seven, eight, or even nine years old.
The general nimeof the female oi this kind is cow ; when sucking
the damv she is called a cow-calf; ihenn year ling qney, or heifer, or
t winter ; the next ycHf, ^i three-years old quey, or heifer; and when
four, she is first calltd v cow, wiiich nunc is retained till ihe last,
if castrated oi spayed, she is called u spayed o^^ cut heifer, or spayed
ut,mt quey, iu the north parts of ihi;i island.

THE WHISTLE— A thui: story
\ Written hy Dr, Frankim to his Nephew,
When I wa»a child at seven years old, my frrends, #»n a holiday,
filled my pu< ket^ wilii cojtpers. l went direelly to a shop where thny
suld l'»v»for children f and heii;g charmed willi the sound oi a whistle
Ihil 1 met by the way rn the hand« of anolb^r boy, I voluntarily of*
fcred him all my money for it. 1 then came home and w.ent whi.Ntlin;;
all <)vcr the hou&e much pleased with my whittle, but dislMrbin^ alt the
family. My brothers, and sistt rs, ;ind cousins, undeistundinjf the
bargain 1 bad made, told me I had given four tirnts as much for it a$
U was worth. Tlirs |<)nt me in mind wh^l ^ood U>ini{8 1 iniKbt bnve
bought with the rest of the money ; and they laughed so much at n)«
so mucU for my folly, that 1 cried uith vexation ; and the rirtieclioa
gave me more chagrin than the x^histla gavf; me pleasure.
This,, however, was allerwi'rds of use, thj impriissions continuing
on my ipiud; soth^t ofltn whcfi 1 w;»s temj^led to liny some nnnects-
sarv thin^', I said to myself, Don* t giwe too much for the whistle; Mid
so I saved my money.
As I urew i;p, came into the world, and oI»s<?rved the actionn of
men, I thought 1 met wiih many, very many, who gave too much for
the whistie.
When 1 saw any one loo ambitious of court favours, sacrificing hi^
time in attendance on. levees, his repose, bis liberty, li'* virtue, nnd
pi^rbips his fria^nds to attain it,. I have said to mystlf. This man gives-
too muck for his whistle.
When I saw ant'tlur fond of pfvpularily, constantly emj)loyin£j hira-
8ell in political bustles, nCf^lectinfr his own tfLirs, »>id ruiuinij IIkiu
by that nej^lict : lie pays, indeed, say I, too much far his whistle.
If 1 knewainvSfT who yave up ev».ry kind rif comlortablc liviou, :ill
llie pleasure of domi? jjjood to ollierff, all the eslecni of hia ftllow-cili-
zens, find the joys of bcnwcient friendshi(», for the soke of aocuino-
latiuji wenllh : Poor man,, says 1, i/ou do indeed puy too much for
your ivh'islle,
Wlun i meet a man of pleasure, sacrifixjine: every lamlable improve-
Deit of the niiiMl, or of his fortune to merecornor'al sensationi*;

NECESSARY HINTS TO THjOSE THAT WOULD BE RieH.
[Wriiim anno 1736.}
The nse ofmoney is all the udvantnge there is in having money.
For six pouiids a yei^r y»u miy havt: the use of ore hundred poutiJi
provide<l y<'>u are a man of ktiown prudeuce atid honesty.
Hethnt spends a gronta day idly, apeiids idly above six pouti(U a
year, which is the pri -efnr the use of one hundred pounds,
He that wastes idly a groat's worlh of his time per day, one day
with another, wastes the privilege ol using one hundr%d pounds each
day.
He that idly loses five shillings worth of time, loses five shillings,
and inii^ht as prudently throw five shillings into the sea.
He thnt los«s fiv(^ shillings not only lns«s th»t sum, but all the
advantages' thit mi^ht be made hy turning itiiv deulintr, which, hy ttie
time tiiU a young m»n becoines-old, will amount toa oonsiderable sum
•f motiey.
Again : he that sell^npon crt'dit, asks a price (or what he sells eqni<
Tiilent to the principal uiid iitte.esl of his nmnty for the time he i» to
he kept out of it ; therefore, he who buys upon credit pa)8 interest fur
what lie buys ; und he Ihftt pitys ready mon*'y, might lend that money
out to use; so that hu that possesta any Hiing he ha» bought, pays
int(re»t fv»r tilio uh; of ir.
Yet, if» liuying )LM>ods, it is lest to pay ready money, because he
thi«t sells up»)n credit ix^)ecla to lose five per c»'nl. by h«id debts j
therefore he charc>es, on all he sells upon credit,. (mi advauce that bhdll

Those that pay for what they buy upou credit pay their share of
this advance.
He Ihatpays ready money escapes, or may escape, that charge,.

[WRiTTEN BY DR. FRANKLIN.]
I HAVE heard thai nothing gives an aiilhor so great pleasure as to
find his works respectrfuiiy quoted by other learned authors Tiiis
pieantire I have seldom enjoyed ; for iliout(h I have been, if I may say
it without Yanily, an etnittenl author (of ntaiauackti) annually now a full
quarter of a century, my brother auth.trs in the same Wdv (for wha^«
reason I kno^ not) have ever been very sparioi^ in their applauses, and
no other author has taken tlie Uasl notice of me ; so that, did not my
ivrilings produce me some solid pudding, the great defi«ieBcy of pr«is<i
ivould have quite discouraged me.
1 concluded at length that the people were the best judges of my
merit, for they buy mtr works ; and besides, in my rambles, where f
am not periionally known, I have frequently heard one or other of my
addt^es repeated, with ** As poor Richard says" at the end of it. This
gave me some satisfaclion^ as it showed not only that my instructinus
were regarded, bu^t discovered likewise some respeet for my authority;
and I own ^■9\^ to encourage the pructice of remembering and repeat-
ing those wise sentences, I have sometimes quoted myself with great
gravity.
Judge then, how mflcb T have been gratified by en incident ( am
going to relate to you. I stooped my horse Utely where a great num-
ber of people were collected at an auction of merchant goods. The
liour ol sale not being come, they were conversing ftu the badness of
the timis \ and one of the company called to a plain, clean, old man
wilh while locks, " Pray, Father A4>raham, wlvat think you of the
times ? Won't these h^avy taxes aoite ruin the country ? How shall
we be ever able to pay then.'* what would you advise us to do V*
FaUrt Abraham stood up and replied, "If you'd have my advice,
I'll give it to you in short ; ' for a word to the wifte is enough \ and

«Any worlds won*t fill a bushel,* as poor Richard says." They joined
in dfKinng him io s^ieuk h'a miod; aud gatkeriug rouod bin, be pro-
•t^edfci M follows :
" Fiieods and neighbours/* tayt he, " the taxes are indeed very
hofivy ; and if thosa laid on by the gevernment were the only on£s we
ini$;hi more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and
much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as mach by
our idleness, thrre times as much by our pride, and four times ^t<
Binch by our foiiy ; and from these taxes the rommissiuners cannot
ease or delivf^r us by allowiniif an abatement. However, let ns heark-
en to ij^ood advice« and someibing may be done for us ; *' Giid helps
them that helps thjemselvas/' as j^^or Riehard says in his Almanack.
** U wonid be tkoasrht a hard jioTernraeiit that should tax its peo^
pid one tenth p'«rt af their time to be employed in its service ; but idle-
Me^s taxts many «f aa much more, if we reckon all that is spent ia
ahsoluie slelh, er doing of nothing;, wi*h that which is spent in idio
employments, or amnsements that amount to nothing. Sloth by brio;;*
iti|^ on diseasi.8, absolutely shortens life. " Sloth, like rust, con-
sunesfa^iter than labeui' wsars, while the key used is always bright,"
as poor Rfchard says. But dost thou love life ? then do not sqiicin'*
der time, ** i%^ thut'ni the stuff life is made of," as pour Richard says^
H'jw much more than is at^tesajiry do Wf spend in sleep ! for^etfcitig:
that '* the sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there wiH bo
sleepi? p^ c^ioaj^h in the grave,'' as posr Richard says. •' If lime b»
of all t:MUK8 tiie most precious, wasting of time must be," as poor
Richard sjiys, " the greutett prodigality ;" since, as he elsewherQ
t«-.^i^, ** L* lit timi} in never tuuaU again ; and what we call time
<.j<a;;h wlwiivs proves liUie «nou;^h." Let ns thea up aii4 be doin:r>
and daioj; U\ tho ;»urpos^ j so by diligence sh^il we do mure with less
pcr;>l<-xi*y. "8ioth rndkes ;i!i things diliiooU, but industry all easy,**

fi.^ii scarcely be culled the coiiveniences; and yel, only because Jh^.y
loi.k firelty, how ma«y wish to have ihem ? The {irlificial WHfils tjf

Ditk says, "For one poor person, ihtre tire a huudred indigJiiuU **
-Bv these andolher extravagances, Ihe i;enteel are-reduced to poverly,
jtnd forced to horrow of those whom they formerly dtspistd, hut who,
thirttn»!i indoslry and frugality, have maintained Iheir slandinji ; in
vhuh rase It appears plainly, " A ploughman on his leas is hij;her
thati 'i gentleman on his knets," as poor Richard says. Ptrhaps ihiy
have had a small estate left them, which they knew not the ii,<ttin.f
©f; lliey think " it is day, and never will be night;" that a little tti-
he opentnnt of so much is not worth minding : '*A (^4iild and a fool,^'
as puor Richurd says, " imagine twenty shillings and twenty years
eun nfvir be spent ; but always be takint; ont of the meal- tub, and
ntver putting fu, soon comes to ihe bottom ;*' then as poor Dick says
" When the well is dry, they know the worth of water/' But this
they mic^t have known before, ii they had taktn his advice : " Jfyott
would know the value of money, go and try to borrow aome ; for i;e
thai go6S a boirowins^ goes a sorrowiug ; and, indeed, so does he
th.a lends to such people, when ht gois lo get it ia again." Poor
Dick further advises atid saj s,
*♦ Fond pride of dress i« sore a very curse
£(-e (ancy you consult, consult your purse."
"And again, " Pride is as loud a beggar us want, ^nd a great deal
more saucy." WheM you have bought one fine thing you must buy
ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece; but poof Dick
siiys, " It is easier lo suppnss the first desire than to Siilisfy all that
follow it " And it is as truly folly fur the poor ta ape the rich, as the
frog to swell in order lo equal the ok.
*' V( Bst'lslarsfe may venture more,
Hut little boats siiould keep near shore."
