Weight of HAY for Sheen.

The question is often asked How
much hay do sheep or cattle require per
day? In reference to sheep of a given
size, this question is well answered in a
letter of the noted sheep-breeder Alex
ander Speck Won Sternburg, Of Lutz-
sChen, SaxOny, to Hon. Jos. A. Wright,
American Minister to Berlin. He says.
"One hirtietb part of the lCeight Of the
live animal in good hay is considered
necessary, per day, for its sustenance. Ac-
cording to the quality of the fodder, and
its abundance or scarcity, this may be in
creased to one-twentieth part; but less
than One-thirtieth part ought not to be
given. Taking good meadow hay as the
fodder standard, a ram should receive
abou Ia lbs. per day, a eve about 2 ga
lbs. per day, yearlings, &C., in that pro-
portion-taking the average of a full
grown ram at Ito lbs, Of eve at 50
lbs, the weight of each varying, accord
ing to age, size and condition, between
los and l25 lbs. as regards the full-grown
rams, and from 40 to S5 lbs. as regards
the ewes. The weight of 4 wether varies
between so lbs. in lean condition aud l1O
to lis lbs. if strong and fat for the
butcher. One pound of good meadow
hay is considered equivalent to one and
two-thirds pounds of oat, pea, wheat, or
barley straw, four pounds of turnips, or
two pounds of grains in the wet state, as
daily delivered from the brewery in win
ter When the time for stabIing for
winter arrives, the sheep-master has his
supplies of straw hay and turnips, al
lotted to him on the basis of the above
and he is bound to make them
serve out the proper time, under feeding
being as much guarded against as over
feeding and waste"

Grooming a Horse.

"What do you give your horses to keep
them in such fine condition 2" said a
young farmer to his neighbor, whose
team of bays was the pride of their owner,
and the admiration of the village.
Goats, carrots and plenty of brush y
was the reply.
There is little need of insisting on the
necessity of good food, and plenty of it,
to have a horse remain vigorous. Every
one knows that bone, sinew and muscle
are manufactured from hay, oats. corn,
etc., and that the raw material must be
supplied to produce the strong limb,
elastic step, and noble spirit, which make
fine horse the universal favorite he is
But the important part which the skin
bears in the animal economy, and the
necessity of properly cleansing and keep
ing it in healthy condition, are not fully
appreciated. Rough staring coats, grease
or scratches, inhammations, and awhOle
catalogue Of diseases find their origin IN
neglect Of proper grooming.
The skin Of the horse, Ike that Of
other animals. not only affords protection
to the parts within, but by the pores affords
protection to the parts within, but by the
pores affords an outlet to large part of
the waste Of the body. In outdoor life,
the natural state of the horse, this men,
brane becomes thickened and tough,
capable Of resisting changes Of tempera-
ture and by continual exercise, the pores
are kept open, giving free exit to all the
exhalations. But this alone will not give
the smooth glossy coat which adds so
greatly to the animals beauty. Confn-
ing the horse 10 the stable, as is general
ly done for at least part of the year,
renders his skin tender, especially when
he is kept warmly blanketed. Expose
him now to great change of temperature
take him out and drive him till heated,
return 10 the stable, and let him stand
uncarred for over night, even for an hour,
the sensatiye skin is rapidly chilled by
the evaporation of the sweat, the pores
are suddenly closed, and often cold, a
rheumatic Stiffness or other disorder re-
suits. Proper grooming prevents tins,
by toughening the skin, keeps it in healthy
action, equalIzing the circulation, remov-
ing obstruction from the pores, and what
is of great importance, by rousing the
action of the muscles at the surface, in
some manner compensates for the want
of exercise consequent upon stable life.
Currying and brushing should not be
done in the stable; the dust and scurf
will be scattered in the manger to mix
with the horse feed, besides keeping the
stable uncleanly. Take the animal into
the open air, tie him securely, and handle
him so gently that he will enjoy, rather
than dread, the application of the comb
and brush. A sharp currycolnb, roughly
scraped over the tender skin, is anything
but pleasant, as the shrinking and resist
ing animal will soon show. Apply this
instrument lightly, and depend mainly

viii it Pay to BnlId q Barn.

This question is often asked among
farmers, and we think il should be as
certained whether it will pay or not. We
will give our experience, and some OBJ
servations upon the subject. Men, who
have not barn, will say: eve can get
a Machine that will thrash our grain and
clean 1t all at once and our barn will be
OF little use 10 us nine months out of the
year." Now. what does this lead to9
Just as soon as harvest is over, every
machine in the country is running over
with business; threshing and hauling 10
mill is the order of the day; prices run
down to the lowest point. Then, when
they can't stand the price any longer,
they coax the millers to take it in on re-
ceipt, for their grain is stacked out, and
probably spelling. 1t must be thrashed
out, and they have no barn put it In.
The millers generally have a limited
time set when they must sell their re-
ceipted wheat. Now the farmer who
cannot see how they manage to keep the
price down till the time expires that they
have to sell their receipted wheut. is very
far from being posted. And il is no ad-
vantage to the consumer to have the trade
thrown so entirely into the hands Of the
miller.
Now we would say, never put a bushel
of wheat in a mill OF eceipt-either sell
or keepit at home. YOu run the double
risk Of fire and the miller failiRg-in
either case you could get nothing, Be-
sides, we think this is not half of the loss;
for when grain has to be stacked, it is
often hauled out into the woods, where
the straw will be out of the way. or, If
not, 1t is stacked. probably in the middle
of the field, and, as soon as it is threshed, =
the straw is burnt.
Now, when a man has no barn il is
difficult to convert his straw into manure,
or use it for his stock in winter, as hs
could do, if be had a barn. 1t is we'll
known that where several hundred BUSH
els of grain are threshed, and the straw
all put in one pile, it will take several
years for it TO rot, and even then it will
scarcely make the ground rich it is piled
upon. /! wastes about as fast as it rots.

Cutting Corn Stalks.

Some farmers still adhere to the old
practice of topping their corn as soon as
the ears are glazed. They suppose that
the corn ripens better by exposure to the
sun, and that the tops so cut, make bet
ter fodder. We advocate the cutting up
the entire hill as soon as the kernals are
well glazed. This method saves labor,
yields as much and as good grain, gives
the farmer more time TO secure his crop,
and the stalks make better fodder.
II is much easier to cut up the stalks
when green, than when ripe and dry.
A workman can grasp whole hill with
one had and arm and cut it up with the
other with a single blow. But, in topping
each stalk must be cut separately, and
then in the final cutting up OF the hills
when dry the labor is much greater.
At the North, frosts visit US soon after
the kernels are glazed, if not before !;
and after the leaves have been once scar
ed by frost, very little good can come to
the ears from the ascending sap Now,
if the entire stalks are cut up Just before
frosts come, and bound together IN large,
loose bundles, most of the leaves will re-
main unhurt by frost, and will continue to
send down their accumulated food to the
grain. So that probably the ears become
fully as well developed as they would if
the stalks had been allowed to stand few
days longer uncut. Besides it should be
remembered that all standing corn wastes
by being broken down, and eaten by
poultry, birds, etc.
+ Again: corn thus early cut up can be
housed IN better season an with less la
Dor than if left standing in the field. Ii
is less liable to become m u dy, or to be
soaked by water. If the farmer wishes
TO prepare his corn-feld for fall crop
say Of wheat or rye--it can be easier
and sooner cleaned by this method than
by any other.

LIE, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER p, 1860

Then, as to the fodder 1t is very
slow work to top the stalks one by one,
to gather up and bind and carry them by
hand to the wagon OK cart at the outside
of the cornfeld.. And if they are left
on the ground until the crop is gathered,
they are worth no more for fodder than
the butts themselves Whereas, if gath
cred as we recommend, and cured under
cover or on poles in an airy loft, they
will remain succulent and sweet all win
ter. 1t must be very fastidious COW
that will not eat up every inch of such
stalks, if they are cut up with straw
cutter and properly fed out. So, on a
review of our reasons, we shall still ad-
