PURE WATER FOR HORSES,

1t highly necessary that horses should be supplied
with pure water for impure water, like damaged
food is more or less operative indirect cause in
inducing unhealthy condil ion of the digestive Or
gans We urge the of horses to attend to this
matter, for it is wretched bad policy to lead hard
working thirsty horse to trough containing water
not 6t to drown cat in and too bad to make tea for
such a wretch as you Some infectious and conta-
gious diseases can without doubt be communicated
through the medium of water. Sometimes horse the
subject of some affection, either acute or chronic of
tho respiratory passages has profuse discharge from,
the this morbid secretion finds its ,yay into tine
Tater in the act of drinking and the next horse that
comes to mbibe is very apt to swallow portion of
'his matter which is generally found floating on the
surface Trough water is further contaminated, by
aimals washing their mouth and lips IL tie same,
and bpeds who delight to visit water trough in
warm weather are not over careful what they put
into it. We have often found an old boot or an old
soger." or dirty sponge at the bottom of trough
In this city from which twenty horses drank their
daily supply of water Attention to this matter ma
possibly prevent many of unnecessary disease

FARMERS NEGLECTING LITTLE.
THINGS,

The Third annual report of the Secretary Of the
est evils in husbanlry is the small value placed up
little things. Even small farm Of fifty acres is
despised because much land can he had at such a
low price TO make it donble or treble in size. Go
through the country and inqnre into the circumstan
ces of the small farmers and it will be found that
they are better in nine cases out OF ten than those
who pretend ro cultivate large farms. Whyl Being
compelled, perhaps to support himself and fam on
his fifty acres, be makes good of what hG has, he
does not despise small things. As he has not the
means to enter into any thing largely, if any
fails he does not lose much On the other hand, he
cannot afford TO devote half of hisfarm to any
one crop His eyes are used to some puspose by
which he learns the wants of the nearest market and
be pro that which pays him best and is of sure
sale at fair roft His stock of all kinds is of the
b. st, and it wi not pay him to keep many. When
be goes to town or his place of trading he does not
Ions, cheese or two, cabbage, even pumpkins,
not needed at home, and because not needed consd
ered worthless; whatever he obtains is clear gain
There are many insta tances of this class of farmers
who, by thus making the small things bring them
something, too small as considered by many, have
paid for their little farms which they had purchased
entirely on credit and make themselves snug homes
thereby" The grand secret of successful farming
every where isto "learn the wants of the nearest
market" and adapt production to the end and new

THE "AFTER-GRowTH f" OF GRASS,

friend writes: 81 have large quantity Of Sec
ond crop on my moving fields and the question is
to do with it. Shall cut for hay or feed it off? My
subble fields also full of young grass and clover
the season having been very favorable to catch.
Is it advisable to let the whole growth lay on the
ground, or is it better to NOW it feed it off? If it
10 fed off what kind of stock shall be turned on p
In regard to the first of the above questions VIC
may say, that whether the second crop of moving
heis should be cut fed eff let alone depends on
various crcumstances.-If there is stated by our
correspondent, {" large quantity" of grass on the
ground, it is advisable even in reference to the land
to the amount and quality OF the next crop to take
OF in come way, at least portion IF the crop is
needed more for winter feeding than for Immediate
consumption, it may be made into hay, As we have
remarked on previous occas;ons aftermath rowon
hay is when properly cured of the very best quality
IN reference to the production of beef, mutton or
milk. On fields which we're moved early, the second
growth is generally large, this Most farmers
in this section will cut some for hay besides leaving
cons erabce TO feed off. 1t will be better for the
succeeding crop to cut it pretty soon to give time for
the grass to start little before the frost sets in
crain amount of covering for the roots is beneficial
but too thick n coat affords harbor to field mice;
which do much injury, and besides, smothers out
the grass, moro less.
Probably as general thing, it is better for the
land for the next crop Of grass to feed off the after
math. On ground that is not wet. the sward is gen.
orally made frmer evener, and the herbage thicker
and iner by the tread of cattle in connection with
their grazing. They should not be allowed tc leave
the ground too bare at the close of season-Boston
