Swiss FARMING. G.-New-E England is some

the scenery, there must be, we think, quite

CRIB BITING. -Cribbing is undoubtedly
q habit ratherthan adisease. This, itwould
seem, is proved by the. fact that a young
horse confined Ia a stable next to an old
horse who is a cribber, win soon acquire the
habit. 1t is very common among horses
that are constantly kept in stable and may
be caused by the animal siezing upon crib
biting as a solitary pastime, to while away
the tiresome hours of stable life. Or the
constant diet of hay or oats may derange the
digestion, causing as we ourselves well
know-uneasiness. Or the long continued
inhalation of close and impure air may dis
order that part of the body which is the
most sympathetic of the entire system, and
thus give rise to the habit Cribbing may
be prevented if taken in hand during its
early stages. First attendto the atmosphere
of the stable, rendering it pure by careful
ventilation. Place lump of rock salt in
the manger. This acts as stimulant to the
stomach, and win often enable the horse
digestion to recover its lost tone IF this
does not effect cure add to it large piece
of chalk. Should this prove to do no good,
damp the food, and at each time of feeding
sprinkle magnesia upon it. Mayhem also

AGRICULTURAL.


We never remember the winter grain to
1ooi better than It does now. It has come
M remarkably even and has the very best
of color. We have not yetseen field that

for the seed good depth and enabling 1t 70

thav;nc process which in some ofourc change
able winters takes place. In consequence OF
the drill the wheat crop In eastern Pennsyi-
vania and no doubt everywhere else has De-
come q much more certain crop.
We are often surprised at the dilatoriness
~ some farmers in removing theircornfrom
the field. In many places we see it stand
ing from the time it is cut in September to
the middle Of November. By this time the
aars freouently become mouldy by rains and
the fodder utterly ruined Cattle and even
horses eat the fodder with avidity, prefer
ring Il to second-crop hay, and by steaming
Il and mixed with little Indian meal, the
whole, stalks and al, aregreedily consumed.
Yet we see this valuable provender remain
exposed to the weather until it is worthless.
Flows, harroWs, rollers, wagons, wheel
barrows, &c are frequently exposed to the
weather for weeks and even months, while
places of shelter are close at hand. They
suffer more injury from this exposure than
from half year use. And there isno 9TH
er excuse for this than plea of want of
time, which every good farmer win say is no
excuse at all.
Before the winter closes inthere shoald be
thorough examination of all the fences,
gates, doors Of the stables, &c. II will be
found to be q great saving if everything is
put in good order now. A rotten post, a

post win go down, the rail win disappear,

and so on, everything win be getting worse,
and the expenses Of repairing will be double.
