HOW TO SAVE HAY.

The economy of cattle food Of all kinds, is a
subject which demands the farmers closest at
tention. A correspondent Of the Wisconsin
Farmer in answer to the question, how
much hay will keep good sized horse per day
or per year2 Says:-
81 have asked This question many times, and
universally receive for an answer, ~ don't
know" Well do, having kept horses for
twenty years from Eve to twenty at time. |
concluded would know. Five pounds of hay
ut q feed or fifteen pounds per day, with the
usual allowance of oatmeal (twcre quarts per
day. or its equivalent in shorts, will keep a
good sized horse---one of eleven hundred and
fifty pounds weight-in fine condition for all
road or farm work, and is amply sufficient
some will keep on considerable less, but this
is a fair average, and can be reckoned on as
sufficient for the first hundred horses you find.
SIN connection with this subject, will state
that have been feeding from four to FIVE hor-
SEES for the last three months with cut feed, the
advantages of which hold to be equal to ma
nyitimes the cost of the best cutting box in the
State where several horses are kept. In the
hrst place it is economy to cut feed so far as
its consumption is concerned, less feed being
wasted than when fed whole or uncut. Again,
straw or corn-stalks can be mixed with hay
to the amount of one-third or ne-half of the
quantity fed, and if well prepared the animals
will eat it clean, and will thrive better, and in
and in all respects it will well repayfor the
time and expense over the common method of
feeding.
0ne consideration of quite equal importance
is, that our horses are free from cough or heaves
which are inseparable from feeding clover or
dusty hay, unless cut and well dampened.p

HINTS ON INRnL.Y STOCK

Tho following valuable suggestions are con-
densed from communication to the "0hiO
Farmer:n
AS general rule, our domestic animals are
never unruly except when taught to be so. Fol-
instance, some persons in turning stock from
one field to another, only let down few of the
top rails or bars, and force their animals to
Jump over. Too lazy to put up as well as to
let down, they leave the gap half closed, as a
temptation to the stock to jump back again.
few practical lessons of this kind make ami
mails unruly. Carelessness in regard to putting
up fences when thrown down, or in repairing
weak spots, confirms the bad habit.
The writer says his practice has always been
10 teach his cows, calves, sheep and hogs to
go through or under, rather than over the bars
and fences, always leaving rail or bar up at
the top Taught in this way, they never think
ofjumping, and he has never been troubled
with unruly animals, even when his fences
were low.

The VALUE OF a DEAD Horse IN PARIs.-Af-
ter the horses are deposited, the hair of the
name and tail is cut off, which amounts Ia
about quarter of pound; the skin is then
taken away, which is disposed Of to tanners,
and used for various purposes; the shoes are
sold as old iron the feet are cut off, dried
and beaten, in order to make the boots come
away or are left to putrefy till they separate
of themselves, when they are sold to turner's,
comb-makers, manufacturers Of ammonia and
Prussian blue. Every morscl of fat is picked
ont and melted and used for burning by ma
kers of enamel and glass-toys greasing shoe
leather and harness. and manufacturing soap
and gas. The workmeD choose the best pieces
of the flesh to eat, preferring those about the
head, and sell the rest for dogs, cats, hogs, and
poultry. 1t is also much used for manure and
making Prussian blue The bones are dispo-
sed of to cutters, fan makers, &c, and often
made into ivory-black; and lso occasionally
serve as fuel for melting the fat and for man
ure. The sinews and tendons are sold to glue
makers; the small intestipes are made into
coarse strings for lathes, &e., or serve as ma
nure.

FEEDING HENS IN WINTER.

A correspondent of the American Aqricaltur-
ist recommends giving hens hot food in winter
to make them lay. He says the best way is TO
put quart Of small potatoes in an old pan,
sand set them in The oven. Mix a quart OF
wheat or buekwheat bran in the swill pail,
with boiling water then add about one quart
OF i've Goals from the stove, the potatoes hot
from the oven, and all the egg shells on hand,
with a little salt or sulphur occasionally
These are all mashed together, and fed to the
fowls in trough so made that the hens can
not step into it, hut only puttheir bills in This
iced IS given in the morning at noon some
corn. and Al evening oats or wheat screenings

THE HOUSEWIFE.

BUCKwHEAT CAKES WET WITH WATER.-Takt
quart of bnckwheat -four and nearly an even
tablespoonful of salt. Stir in warm water till
it is the consistency of thin batter. Beat il
thoroughly. Add two tablespoonfnls of yeast
if distillery, or twice as much if home brewed
Set the batter where it will be little warm
through the night Some persons never stil
them after they have risen, but take them ou
carefully with large spoon. Add teaspoon
full Of pearlash in the morning, if they are sour
Sift 1t over the surface, and stir it well. Some
persons like to add one or two tablespoonful
of molasses, to give them a brown color, and
more sweetness Of taste.
APPLE SAucE.-Pare, core, and slice some
apples; and put them ina stone jar, into a
saucepan of water, or on IA hot hearth. If on
a hearth, let spoonful or two of water be put
in to keep them from burning When they arc
done, bruise them to a 1nush, and put to them
piece OF butter the size OF II nutmeg and d
little brown sugar if required but it destroys
the slight acid flavor of the apples, and its cor
receive TO goose aud pork.
BREAD CHEESE CAREs.-Slice penny loaf As
thin as possible; pour on it a pint of boiling
cream when we'll soaked, beat it very fine
add eight eggs, half pound of currants, a
spoonful of brandy or white wine beat then
up well together, and bake in raised crusts oil
patty-pans.
TO CrRE Sone THRoAT.-Take the whites Of
two eggs and beat them with two spoonfulsot
white sugar; CRATE in a little nutmeg, and
then add pint oflukewarm water. Stir well
and drink often. Repeat the prescription Ii
necessary and il will cure the most obstinate
case Of hoarseness in short time
CEMENT FoR BROKEN CHNA.-Take a very
thick solution Of gumarabic dissolved in water
and stir into it plaster Of Paris until the mix
ture becomes viscous paste. Apply it with
brush to the fractured edges, and stick them
together. In three days the article cannot be
broken in the same place. The whiteness of
the cement renders it doubly valuable.
ExTEMPoRE BUcEwHEAT CAKEs.-Three pints
Of buckwheat, one teaspoonful carbonate of
soda dissolved in water enough to make bat
ter, and when mixed, add a teaspoonful of tar
taric acid, dissolved in spoonful of hot
water Mix it in and bake Immediately. Use
salt pork to grease the griddle.
