Heavy Farm Implements.

Now if the error was confined wholly to
the use of heavy implements, handled by
the man himself, then he alone could suffer
by useless outlay Of strength but it is
not so, because as general thing, farm
carts and wagons are much too heavy
Most of them are of sufficient weight to hold
up thrice the burden that any common team
should draw. Many horses and oxen are
injured annually by this defect for it is
apt to be the case, that farmers are govern
ed more by what their wagon will hold up
when putting on load, than they are by
what their teams should be allowed to draw.
There are OF course, cases in which it is
necessary to have a heavy cart or wagon,
when large loads are to be drawn by very
heavy, or double teams but IN no cases is
it necessary to have carttongue so bun
gled and heavy that one man Is hardly able
to lift it into the yoke ring.
1t is our opinion, that more labor can be
performed on farm in day with light
wagon. And the drawing of light and fre
quent loads, than can be done with heavy
wagon and the drawing OF large loads, and
there is certainly much less outlay of mus
cuar power by both man and beast
Wherever a man is found that daily eXerts
the strength of his team to the uttermost, is
surely to be found one that is constantly
perpleXed with breakages, and the owner
of a jaded team. Farmers, use light tools
yourselves, and provide for your teams light
and durable vehicles there will be less
wear and tear, and more accomplished.

Making Stock Comfortable.

1t is for the interest OF every farmer to
see that his stock are comfortably provided
for, which consists not merely in housing
and feeding them well, as this may be well
and faithfully done, and still an animal
may be uncomfOrtable-ior want of pure
water, sufficient air, proper cleanliness, &c,
all of which conditions are essential to its
well being No matter how slight the in
convenience or neglect may seem, so long
as an animal is made uncomfortable, it will
not thrive as well, nor be as well fitted to
labor, nor in the case%f mich cows, be as
productive i'll milk, as would be the case,
where the cause or causes of discomfort re-
moved. To realize the most profit from
keeping stock, sUery condition necessary to
their comfort should be secured and main
tanned. An animal poorly housed, if ever
80 well fed, will fail to give a satisfactory
return in growth and flesh for the amount
Of food consumed.
Stock should be comfortably provided for,
as matter of economy, setting aside every
other consideration. When animals are
supplied with an abundance of the best
quality of hay and grain the bad effects
arising from neglect i'll other particulars,
will not be as easily perceived, as when III
connection with the same neglect, they are
poorly fed, although there is loss to the
owner in the first instance often-times, from
the excess of food consumed, which under
different management might have been
saved but when the fodder on hand is
either deficient in quantity or inferior in
quallty, as 1t often Is, the utmost care and
Judgment need to be exercised in feeding, to
maintain stock in good condition, and to
make them source of profit. Variety in
feeding should always be carried out as
much as possible, as anything calculatedto
create and increase relish for food will
keep the animal in good condition. The
food, therefore, should be changed as occa-
sion requires, and roots and grain fed alter
nately with hay, stalks and straw; and it
has been found, by experience, that where
the appetite is thus excited and kept up.
stock can be as well and proftably kept on
less and poorer food, as where, without the
variety, more and better food is given.
