AcTIos AND REACTION IN FARMING
Fences operate in two ways; if good they
are defense, if poor an offense.
Many farmers by too sparingly seeding
their meadow have had to cede their
whole farm.
Every farmer should daily see every
animal he has, and inspect its condition.
Weekly visits. AZ with some, soon result
in weakly animals.
The man who fails to provide well-shel-
tered cotes for his sheep. in the winter.
will soon have no coats for his own back
A good housewife should not be a per-
son OF one idea. but should be equally ia
military with the flower garden and flour
barrel and though her lesson should be
to lessen expense, yet the scent of fine
rose should not be less valued than the
cent in the till. If her husband is a skill
full sower of grain, she should be equally
Ikilfull as sewer of garments he keeps
his hoes bright by constant use, and she
keeps the hose of the family in order by
constant care.-44B. Cultirator.

Younx Cattle i'm Winter.

The American Farmer recommends the
following treatment to young cattle gene
rally. in winter, which is judicious and
squares with the practical mind of the
editor of that valuable agricultural jour
nal:
All young cattle should have provi-
ded for them. comfortable sheds. facing
the southwest or southeast, the floors Of
which should be elevated an inch or so
above the level of the inclosure into which
the sheds open the sheds should be well
protected from the north and the west,
and should be deep enough. when aided
BY projecting roof, to keep off drifting
Eains; the stalls should be provided with
bedding and kept elean-and the animals
themselves would be ali the better of cur
Sying. combing, and rubbing down with
straw. They should be fed three times q
day with long provender, and receive once
day moderate feed of grain of some
Aind. or = mixture of cob-meal or bran,
and cut straw. If good size is desirable.
all young cattle should be so fed that the
food given would contain the materials
out of which bones, fat, muscles and ten
dons are to be fabricated !; for without the
necessary substances be present in the
food for such purposes, we do not con.
eelvs how they are ever to be formed -
The idea of ever raising fine animal up
on half or quarter allowance of food, in
our humble judgment, is entirely out of
she question. Young cattle should al.
ways be kept in good heart--in growing
order, neither very fat nor very poor
They should receive the allowance of salt,
or salt, lime and ashes, recommended for
mich cows-say in about one-half or
thrse-fourths the quantity, according to
age"

WAGONS AND cars ron FARMs

A farmer in England, named Edward
B. Liddington, has produced prize ESSAY
on the comparative merits of wagons and
carts. which deserves attention for. if he
night, our farmers are generally wrong.
After hye years experience with wagons
aud nesrly the same time with one-horse
eArts.on farm of one hundred acres of
arabic land and eighty acres of pasture.
10 came TO the conclusion that carts were
ct greater advantage. As our farmers
mostly use wagons. let them pay some
attention to his statement. He says-I
have no light blowing land. nor have I
more than 90 or so acres OF very heavy
Isnd viii. therefore, relate my actual
experience. In the employment of wa
gons and the old broad-wheeled dung
carts, required one wagon, one cart and
three horses to every so acres of arabic
land l also kept light cart for general
purposes. Now that am employing carts,
I find that get through my work much
more easily with two horses and two carts
70 so acres.
In the calculation Of items, his saving
Was near ST. in the cultivation of one acre
. year. Again he says-It is admitted
that one horse attached to heavy weight,
will move it more easily than two horses
attached to double that weight. This ari-
aes not only from the advantage gained
by having all the power of draught close
to the work. but also, all applied at the
same moment, which is almost impossible
where two or more horses, having differ
ant wills and steps. are attached to the
weight; and for the same reason, one
horse will travel faster.
When cart is filed, there is no delay
in attaching the trace-horses, during which
operation. the one horse would be two
hundred yards on the road. l know this
might be done more quickly by having
men ready TO change the horses, as is the
practice of opposition coaches; but am
speaking of matters of fact working of the
Iystem. Then. again. when the load is
deposited. the horse turns in much less
time than two or three. These facts are
too self-evident to admit of contradiction :;
indeed. believe the economy of cartine
manue In one-horse carts is generally al
lowed; but the employment of them in
harvesting is much objected to. In this
respect, however, find them equally ex-
Pedltious and economical. My actual ex-
perlence is, that three carts, with the har-
vest frames attached, will convey as much
hay or grain in the straw, as two wagons,
and that they are bound in the same time:
therefore, no time was lost in binding
They are easier to pitch into than wagons,
and not difficult to unload and all the
advantages are gained of speed in travel
ing.
My attention, says he. was first drawn
seriously to the subject, from hiring man
10 draw some stones for draining. He
came with horse only fourteen hands
high, and a small cart, when the work he
accomplished so surprised me, that 1 at
once decided to Try two light carts, which
after succeeding well in all other opera
tons, l employed in the harvest field !:
and being fully satisfied with them in this
capacity. soon discarded every wagon
from my farm.-Dr Blake.
