Fodder for Cattle.

An intelligent farmer in a neighbor-
ing town has recently communicated to
us the result of an experiment which he
has been trying in the preparation OF
his winter fodder, and which has pro-
we'd highly satisfactory. He cartcd his
salt hay last summer when about hall
cured, and as it was placed in the NOW,
mixed with it about an equal quantity
of oat straw. The consequence was
that the hay impaired TO the straw &
portion of its moisture, while it received
from the straw in return an improved
flavor The quantity of fodder wa.
thus very considerably increased, ant
the cattle eat it with much greater avi'
dity than they do salt hay without The
addition of straw.-Farmcr'S Gaz.

Magazine of Horticulture, gives the fol-
lowing account OF the method pursued
by Mr.. Rowland, of Bedford in bud
ding the pear. Mr.. II. has adopted
budding with the terminal eye, and a
small part of the branch; the bark of
the stock has two incisionS made SINH
lar to the one made by budding: the
scion is pared down on one side, and
the whole is then inserted under the
bark, and bass mating or yarn applied
in the usual manner. BY this method
considerable time is gained; the opera
ton may be performed in July, and a
strong shoot will be made the same
season.

should you think our mode of making srusogcs

We prepare our sausage meat in the usual way.
Then instead of putting the meat in skins, prcpa-
red from hogs cntrails, we make bags If white
clean cotton or linen CLOTH as large, say as mans
arm, larger smaller as may suit, aud of convent
cnt length, say about foot long, and put the sau-
sage meat in these bags aud hang them up 10 dry.
In this way, we save much labor in preparing the
skins, and considerable in cooking; slip Off the
bag from mu u,h is needed, and cut the sausage
into slices of sufficient thickness for cooking. |
much prefer sausagcs put in bags TO those put in
skins, as they keep more moist. Olhcrs, for the
same reason, dislike them. Respectfully yours
