EXPERIMENTS IN rArrEN1Ke CATTLE.

John Sears, President of the Medina
County Agricultural Society, has had
a good deal of experience in feeding
cattle. He wrote to the editor of the
Ohio Farmer, from Litchfeld, Dec. 9th,
as follows:
I found, in attending our State
Agricultural Convention, at Columbus,
this week, there was a general inquiry
among farmers and feeders of cattle,
to learn the best and cheapest mode
of feeding. l propose to give my
experience in feeding for the two past
years. In 1853 l half fed sixty head
of two and three year old Durham
steers. The average weight on the
1st of December, when l commenced
feeding, was 1,050pounds. fed them
hay and corn in the ear, without husk-
ing. The average amount fedto each
steer daily was one half bushel Of corn,
and fifteen pounds of hay. The corn
was fed in the morning, and the hay
at noon. They were turned to grass
on the 18th Of April, and were sold
on the 18th of June, when the average
weight was 1900 pounds.
also fed in 1854 the same number
Of steers, and Of the same grade. The
average weight at the time l COM
mencod was 1925 pounds. / began
feeding them in the stable on the Goth
of November. The manner Of fasten-
ing them was with a rope, tieing the
master steer first, and SO on, till the
stable was full. I fed 81, quarts Of
corn-meal to each steer in the morning
then turned them out to water, which
was in the yard, for an hour. After
tieing them up again, l fed 10 pounds
Of hay to each, and the same amount
again at night. They were turned on
to grass on the 18th Of April, and SOLD
on the 15thof June, when their average
weight was 1,400 pounds.
My opinions, that cattle which hav,
been nicely stabbed drought the winter
win take on flesh much faster, wheI
turned to grass, than those that havi
been fed out Of doors.

low TO JUDGE A R

A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, contrary to oldmaxims, UNDER
takes to Judge the character of horse
by outward appearances, and offers
the following suggestions, the result
of his close observations and long ex-
p~erienee:
If the color be light ~sorrel, or chest
nut, his feet, legs, and face white, these
are marks of kindness.
If he is broad and full between the
eyes, he maybe depended on as a horse
Of good sense, capable of being trained
to any thing.
As respects such horses, the more
kindly you treat them the better you
viii be treated in return. Nor will a
horse of this description standa whip.
if well fed.
IF you want a safe horse, avoid one
that is dishfaced. He my be so fal
gentle as not to scare; but he will have
too much go-ahead in him to be safe
with every body.
IF you want a fool, but a horse Of
great bottom, get a deep bay, with not
a white hair about him. IF his face is
a little dished, so much the worse. Lee
no man ride such a horse that is not az
adeptin riding-they are always tricky
and unsafe.
If you want one that will never give
out, never buy a large, overgrown one
A black horse can not stand heat
mol a white one cold.
IF you want a gentle horse, get on,
with more or less white about the head
the more the better. Many suppos,
that the particular-colored horses be
longing to the circusses, shows, etc.
are selected for their oddity, But tn
selections thus made are on account 0
their great dOcility and gentleness.

CHICKENS.

The subject Of raising chickens has
Of late years attracted very much at
fentiou, not merely from the c%ultiva-
tors of the soil, but from men who are
interested in other pursuits. Much
money and time have been spent in
importing different breeds of fowls
from foreign lands, some of which, no
doubt are much better than those
already found here; yet many of the
importations were worse than those
here: hence the time and trouble was
thrown away. There is not the least
doubt but that some breeders r pre-
ferable to others-some being very
fine and tender for eating, some large,
others small, and some noted as layers.
Much may be done toward improving
the breed by judiciOusly crossing them
for instance, by taking those that are
great layers, which are generally small
fowls, and crossing them with a larger
breed, thus obtaining a medium size,
inheriting the peculiar properties OF
both.
1t is not a fact that fowls need no
care; on the other hand, if you wish
them to improve and to be profitable.
YOU must take good care of them
Every II who has the care of horses
knows from experience that by spend
ing a short time every morning in
cleaning them regularly they willkeep
on less grain, and look and feel better
than with more grain and less care
This is equally the case with fowls, il
they are kept where feed and water
are always at the command, to eat and
drink as much as they wish, they will
lay more, and in every way be more
profitable to their owner.
LIDO not think that it makes any
difference whether they are keptup il
m~oderate-sized pens or left to ramblt
where they choose, as they lay about
as well one way as the other.-German.

A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman recommends sunaowerse seed
as an excellent food for fowls, They
are. indeed, excellent for that purpose.
We once raised a quarter Of an acre
of them. They are easily raised, and
the hens andturkeys we're exceedingly
fond of the seed, the sheep ate the
dried leaves, the hogs were fond of the
green leaves, and the dried stalks made
very good kindIing-wood. But, after
all, we were not quite sure whether il
was not better to raise Indian corn fol
them.
An acre Of ground, set one foot each
way. viii contain 1850 plants, and
the Weld viii be from ~seventy-fye to
one thousand bushels, according to the
nature of the soil and cultivation; but
they will grow on almost any soil and
location.
Between twenty and thirty years
ago Charles A. Barnitz, of Pennsyl-
vania, experimental a good deal in
making oil from suniiower seeds. BY
hulling them, and passingt them through
an oil-press, he obtained pure, sweet
oil, equal to any olive oil, for any Of
the purposes to which Give oil is put,
We suppose, however, it must have
been more costly than olive oil, from
the fact of its not coming into more
general use. One trouble in manufac-
ture was the PROCUREMENT Of hulling.-
At the time of Mr.. Barnitz's expert
ments the ordinary serew-press was
used. If the seed was not hulled, the
hull would absorb a portion of the oil
We should think, however, that the
improved hydraulic-press or combined
screw and knuckle- would
squeeze the oil out Of hull and kerne.

This is a seed planting continuance

h AGE OF SHEEP.

The age of sheepis commonly known
by the teeth, of which it has eight
incisors, or cutting teeth in the lower
jaw, the upper being without any in
front, six molar teeth in each side, and
in each jaw. When the lamb is born
it has either no incisor teeth, or only
two, but before be is a month old he
has eight. During thefrst year they
are all of a small size; but when be-
tween IA and 16 months old, the two
middle ones are shed, andat two attain
their full size, when between two and
three, the next to incisors are shed,
and at three attain their full size; at
four he has six complete teeth, and at
FIVE he has a full mouth. The period
Of the first removal depends not only
upon the season of lambing, but also
upon the goodness Of a sleeps keep
ing; those which are well fed, usually
having them the earliest removed.
Their natural age is generally nine
or ten years, but their teeth begin to
fail between six and seven, when they
become "broken mouthed," they then
begin to fall off in flesh, and should
even when kept for breeding, be fatten-
ed off before that time.-Thus remarks

To PRODUCE LARGE FRU1T.-Ac cor
respondent of the Gardeners Gazette
says that by a very simple and easy
process fruit Of all kinds may be raised
One-third larger than is usually the
case, and of greatly-improved quality.
The secret consists in supporting the
fruit, so that it shall not be allowed to
hang its whole weight upon the stalk
or to twist about in the wind. When
the fruit is allowed to hang naturally
upon the stalk, the increasing weight
strains the stem, or twig, and thus
lessons the quantity Of nutritious food
flowing to the fruit. The fruit may be
supported either bytieingitt to a branch
with a piece of mating, or by inclos-
ing it in a small net. Flowers, such
as dahlies or peonies, may also be
rendered larger by the adoption of this
system.
