GIVE HENs MEAT.-The Nee England
Farmer says "it is not generally upder-
stood that the hen, being omnivorous, re-
quires, to ensure feeundity, very liberal
allowance Of meat! When enjoying her
liberty, in the fields, pastures or door
yards, the principal partof her sustenance
is derived from insects, worms, &c. She
partakes but sparingy at such times of
grain, and often when the article is sap
piled, leaves it for the more inviting food
which nature supplies her with in her IA
vorite haunts Now. if we confne her
where the natural propensity for this de-
scription of food can not be gratifed even
though We supply the best of grain, and
in abundance, she we will cease to lay
The privation affects her health, and there
will necessarily be an end of profit until
this deficiency is supplied, the common
scraps Of the butcher, which are hard and
compact and can be kept any length OF
time, answer the desired purpose

q AGRICULTURAL.
High Feeding.

In fatten:ng cattle and sheep, or in
keeping mich cows, few farmers appreci-
ate the advantages of high feeding. A
large amount OF food is required to keep
the animal alive, and the milk or flesh
and fat which we obtain is derived from
the food given ia e.rceSs of this quantity.
If horse will draw tun, and the emp
ty wagon weighs Is cwt., we can only
take load of ewt. but attachanother
horse and we can then take lead of %
cwt. In other words, the efectire power
of the two horses is FIVE Tins as much as
the one.
1t is so in feeding mich COWS and in
fatteniug cattle and sheep-it is the few
pounds of extra feed that we give which
produces the desired milk and fat. To
give only enough food to keep the animals
IN stationary condition, when the object
Is to get them fat, is manifesty absurd,
and to give them only a little more than
Is necessary, and thus get only a lite fat
is also very poor economy, when by few
pounds more food we might double or treble
the amount of fat or milk.
We do not mean to be understood as
saying that farmers do not let their fat
tening cattle and sheep have all the food
they will eat. This Is not the case
They let them have food enough but it Is
not as nutritious as it should be. We do
not feed enough grain.
We are aware that this will seem
strange doctrine to some of our readers
in this vicinity, and in the Eastern State,
where grain is now so high, and beef,
mutton and pork 50 low. But IN truth
this does not affect the question. Hay is
quite as high, relatively, as grain, and if
it will pay at all to fatten cattle or sheep
it will pay to feed them well. Ia fact,
it will not pay to feed them in any other
way. We do not say that cattle can be
fattened here at a profit. We hardly
see how such can be the case, at the pres
ent price of beef aaa grain, bat it is use
less to attempt to obviate the difficulty
by stinting them in their food. If high
feeding does not pay, poor feeding GER
tainly will not.-GeaesSe Farmer.
