Coughing HORSES. 1t is well
known that feeding horses on clover
hay often makes them cough, but the
why and wherefore maynot be SO gen
orally known. From observation |
have become fully satisfied that the
manner Of feeding hay to horses is
the cause. The usual custom is to let
them draw it through a rack, thus
stripping off the fine dust which adj
heres to the stalk, which being drawn
into the lungs in perspiration produ-
ces the cough. The cure consists in
removing the causo--that is, the racks
and allowing the animals to take
their food in the natural way. | have
removed all of mine, and now feed
my horses on the barn floor, hayingG
breastwork sufficiently high for thcm
to cat over. In this way they can be
fed hay without raising dust, they
get none under their feet and the la
Dor of cleaning out managers is saved.
Whatever is left is easily pushed out
with rake into the yard for the cat
tie. The dust on the hay will do the
horses no harm, iftaken into the stom-
ach. Since making the Improvement
above mentioned in my feeding appa-
ratus, am not troubled with cough
ing horses. There is no patent on
my intention; my brethren cain use
it freely Correspondent Country
Gentleman.

Hints on Cultivation,

The month Of March is now upon
us, and it is high time for us farmers
and gardeners to arouse ourselves
from the winter lcthargy into which
we have fallen, and bctake ourselves
to instant action. In the first place
let us take a glance over our farms
and gardens, and sec how many waste
and vacant pieces of land scattered
here and there that have lain idle and
unproductive during the past season
that have produced nothing but rank
and worthless weeds; that have not
brought to the owners as much as the
taxes amounted to. Wemay well ask
why this waste Of land, when there is
such n great demand for everything
the farmer raises ? | answer, it is
because farmers have never taken in
to consideration the Importance Of
cul.ivating every foot of their ground,
and for every spot that lies untitled,
they will have that much less to dis
pose of in the fall.
1t Is nothing unusual, in passing
over q tract Of country, to sec large
pieces of land lying uncultiyatod, m
titled, and uncared for particularly
low land, which might be turned into
excellent meadows for hay and graz
ing. The hay from such land, after
it is put in order, # their IS a fair
crop, will pay for all the expenses in
one season. But this is the great
bear that is always staring US in the
face; the expenses Of such an under
taking deter us from going to work
with any energy and will, forgetlul,
that for every dollar which we spend
for draining and improving our farms,
we rea]ize two in the place Of one
nor is this the only advantage deriv-
ed from the experiment namely,
beautifying and improving our lands;
but it is matter Of fact, these lands
being full of water, and producing
nothing but unwholcsome and noxious
weeds, are injurious to the health Of
the surrounding vicinity. Volumes
have been written upon this subject,
and many more will be written before
this grand object is accomplished
and let us do our best to hasten its
end. Let us put our shoulders to the
wheel, and exert all our energies to
make this wilderness as well culti-
waited garden, and this desert to bloom
as the rose. To the farmer more than
any other tradesman, belongs this
great and arduous undertaking, for if
this be not accomplished by him, there
is no knowing when the work will be
finished. Therefore let us commence
a new career. Let US do more this
year than the past. Whatever We do
let us do it well, thorough and com
pletc, so that it may be said Of the
farmer by all mankind, that he is the
most Independent of all. That the
king may envy him, that the prince
may look upon him, and rulers are
subject to him. You will find by
your earnest cndeayors, that man
kind will be blessed and made hap
py, our homes made cheerful and COM
Portable, and we ourselves will be the
happiest men on the face Of the earth.
