Feed often and a Little at a Time.

The following remarks upon this subject
we copy from the Rural New Yorker. There
are some facts in it worth knowing:
HINTS FOR A SEASON or SCARCITY
Irregular and excessive feeding Of animals
is not as good, and will not result as fayora-
bly, as feeding less amount so frequently
that the animal never gets uery hungry. We
believe that an animal fed more at one time
than il should or will readily eat, wastes not
only what he leaves. but is injured frequently
by over eating. However careless and sloth-
ful we maybe in seasons Of plenty. such
winters as this should call for care and
economy.
The philosophy we wish 10 inculcate 10
regard 70 fodder saving is this: That frequent
feeding will save, to considerable extent,
the quantity generally given. We have
seen this demonstrated. but usually by par
ties who knew little of the secret of their
own success, and cared less for imparting il,
and they are such as we are slow to follow
the practice Of. 4 small amount of food
satisfies hunger-much less than we think

The stomach is not emphatic in its demands

sparingly. Especially should coarse foddsr
be given frequently. and little at time,
when all will be eaten whereas, if we give
literally. il is picked over. and the appetite
becoming satisfied by the time the poorest is
reached, il is refused and wasted.
We saw an evidence Of this in the prac-
tice of poor widow. whom necessity con-
PEELED TO the closest economy. She wintered,
Tor several winters, two cows on xhe smallest
possible allowance Of hay. and they uniformly
came out in a fair condition. She fed them
regularly little, some half.dozen times
daily, and none was wasted. A Few miles
from her lived farmer. keeping fine stock
of young cattle, whose practice was by
word and reproach in the neighborhood.
We often heard it said that old NJ took
a whole foddering Of hay for twenty steers
under bis arm at once. However this NAV
be, We became intimately acquainted with
his practice aud its results, and found his
stock as well or better cared for than his
neighbours, but in very different manner
none was wastrd-not any--and we doubt
not his saving each winter amply paid him
for the extra care he took in foddering. His
cattle were certainly in better condition than
th"se whose yards were Uttered with the
refused remnants of frequent feeding.
Thi. rule is good not only in saving fodder.

FAMILY PRAYER AT A TAVERN.

Rowland Hill was once driven by storm
into village inn, aud compelled to spend

Indeed! then tell your master / cannot

The waiter informed his master, who, in

And bids us strive for Heaven.

How sweet the cheering accents fall,

And whisper, Pure is Heaven.

How blest the promise given!

That they through grace shall firm abide,

And rest, at last, in Heaven.

soS.-As Messrs. Douglas and johnson have
both opposed fusion with the supporters Of
Breckenridge and Lane in Pennsylvania, New
York, and New Jersey, though thereby Lin
coin would be defeated, and the country re-
stored to peace and harmony, the South are
entitled to know If they approve the fusion Of
theirfriends with bidck-repaJSicaas in Oregon,
by which a bIack-republican Senator is to be
sent in the place of the Hon. Joseph Lane2
This is vital question to the South for it is
held up to them that Lincola can do no harm
as long as the Senate is Democratic We,
therefore, in behalf Of the South, repeat the
inquiry Mr.. Douglas aud Mr. johnson, DO
you approve Of Tie coalition bctceen your friends
