eral remark or Two. Mich C,,rs should be
moderately uarmly housed, AID bold-j, be
regularly supplied with good succulent food
larce a day, receive fresh waller as often,
be curricd daily and sailed at least twice a
week. A mixture tf equal parts of lime,
finely syicd ashes aud set, will answer bet
ter purpose than salt alone,- aid, as it is
cheaper, SHOULD be preferred.-As the pas
lures have doubtless become scnnt the
COWS should be fed twice day: night and
morning, with such quantities Of hay as
will make up for The deficiency Of The pas
lures. il being very important that they be
carried into their winter quarters in good
condition. All that VIC have said in corr
necsion with COWS giving milk will hold
good with egard 10 dry cops and hs0rs.

he housed under good warm sheds open TO
the south Or cast. and if bedded so much
The be'ter-,hey should receive three leeds
OF GOOD hay or fodder and a small one Of

ness, health and comfort.
