ing qualities. After filling the boiler with
water and making my connections, box and
cover steam-t tight, lighted my fire and kept the
water boiling briskly for about four hours,
when found the mass TO be pretty thorough
ly cooked, aad of such a nature that my cattle
liked 1t exceedingly we'll BY adding liber-
al supply of corn meal and shorts when filling
the box, you have a mass resembling in flavor
new .made Loaf Of brown-bread, on which
the cattle do very we'll, though tho material
cooked be Of on inferior quality.
pursued this course one winter, and am
now prepared to prove that can make more
milk from a fair quality Of meadow hay thus
prepared, than from the best quality Of upland
feddty. Add quarts of meal to each days
feed per COW, before steaming II, and two
quarts per COW to the dry hay, and the advan-
tages are still more apparent. now have a
simpler way Of preparing my feed, and one l
like quite as we'll.
take large feed box, with tight cover,
and into this put my feed, wetiing each lay
er with boiling water, shaking the hay so as to
have each part thoroughly wet. then tramp
it down solid as possible, put on another lay
er, and proceed as before till my box is filed.
For my stock Of 5 heads / use As gallons Of
boiling water in mixing enough to last them
two days. The box should then be closed,
while another boiler of water is being heated
when 45 gallons more is poured evenly over
the mass, the box closed, and allowed to stand
about 2 hours before using. The feed is then
softened, so as to be easily digested, and Of
nearly the same favor as when in its green
state and my cattle prefer even poor mead
ow hay, thus prepared, to the best English
hay when fed dry.
have kedt my stock for three winters last
past, on poor hay and corn stoyer thus prepar-
ed, using meal not exceeding one quart per
day to each COW, when not giving milk, feed
ing at least one quarter less hay than when fed
dry, and been able to keep them looking quite
as well as my neighbors. who ihink meadow
hay almost worthless, and steaming unneces-
stry.
About the middle Of April last, having used
my poor hay, for which paid Sl3 per ton
English hay being then worth S35 com
menced feeding very nice eatly cut Enelis hay
dry, TO my mich cows. and to my surprise,
found that they decreased in their quantity oil
milk from one quarter to one third. and wac
not able to increase that quantity till they
went to grass, though doubled their quantity
of grain.
in conclusion, allow me to say that, aside
from the extra work, | can winter 40 cows on
steamed feed for one third less expense thar
on dry p; can get at least one quarter more
milk, and keep them in as good thriving con.
dirtion.
his decision is the result Of five years ex
perience in steaming feeds, NJ. HoMsoN

A WEsrrRN WONDER.


The greatest wonder in the State Of Iowa
and perhaps any other State, is what is called
the "Walled Lake, in Weight county twelve
miles north Of the Dubuque and Pacific rail-
way, and about one hundred and fifty miles
west Of Dubuque city. The lake is from two
to three feet higher tnan the earth's surface.
In some places the wall is ten feet high width
at bottom fifteen feet and at the top five
Another fact is the size Of the stones used in
construction the whole of them varying in
weight from three tons down to one hundred
pounds. There is an abundance of stones in
Weight county; but surrounding the lake to
the extent of ten miles there is none. No one
can form any idea as to the means used to
bring them to the spot. OF who constructed it.
Around the entire lake is belt of woodland,
half mile in width, composed Of oak with
this exception the country is rolling prairie.
Tho trees must have been planted here at the
time of the building of the wall. In the
spring Of 1856 there was great storm, and
the ice on the lake broke in the wall in sew
eral places and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged to repair the damages to prevent
inundation. The lake occupies ground sur
face Of two thousand eight hundred acres
depth Of wa'er as great as twenty fge feet.
The water is clear and cold soil sandy and
loamy. 1t is singular that no one has been
able to ascertain where it goes, yet it is slways
clear and fresh.

OLD SCENEs-We believe there is often
times as much psin as pleasure in revising
old scenes. For what has once gone by can
never be the same again, and we return not TO
the old haunts with the feelings with which
we left them. We find the old picture chang
ed new figures are painted in, or old figures
are painted out. it does not look quite like
the original, it does not quite come up to the
image that has dwet with us since We left it,
and with the throb of pleasure comes touch
of pain, or an underlined pang.
1t may be different in extreme old age when
time has to certain extent bunted the feel
ings and bridged over the gulf that roars and
foams between our childhood and our later
days. Whom the silver cord is nearly loosen
ed, and as we draw nearer the shores of the
great kingdom, we become again as little
children; our minds purified from the dross
that clogs them on the battlefield of life, our
weapons laid aside, and the evening time is
flooded with a gentle light. soft and mellow
like delicious autumn day ; the sun has lost
its burning heat, and shines steady and mild
ly and by the aid OF those ohsstened rsysAw
perhaps see more clearly than we could when
the noontide light was dazzling US the shad-
ows then melt into the landscape, and they
are not so hard nor so defined. There is a
hush, and in that hush we look upon the past
calmly and trustngly. Wild regrets are ST.
fenced, hot tears have seased to fow heart
wounds are healed for the life-dresm is COM
ing to a close and will soon fade away in the
JOY ful waking to eternity.

SPAvIN.--With regard TO the cure Of this
troublesome disease in horses, DIR. Paaten
Veterinary Editor of the Prairie Farmer, says
"the application every second day, Of a lini-
ment, composed of two parts Of olive oil, and
one part each of creosote and oil of turpentine,
will to some extent relieve pain, If not lame
ness. Blistering and firing are frequently en-
ployed, but with no better success than milder
remedies, and at all events the cure only goes
80 far as to prevent the horse from going lame I;
but in this case even, we only call the failing
mended, for it certainly is not cured, though
the lamensss may be so. We say 'mended
only because the cure is somwhat similar in
effect to the mending broken or splintered
Underwood gig-shaft by splicing to it a stiff
piece of wood or iron. The shaft is certainly
mended, rendered safe, disable, and as strong
as ever, but its elasticity, on which depends
its chief merit, is forever gone and this, in
a minor degree, is the effect that mending a
SPAWN hook has on its motion, though ifspsvin
is taken in hand as soon as it is perceived,
and before Stiffness of the hook takes place,
the horse may then be nearly or quite as well
as he ever was. But the severest Of operation
will not restore elasticity if it has once been
destroyed. Bone SPAWN is term applied to
tumor on the inside Of the hook Joint, pro-
ceeding from an ossifc or bony deposte which
forms junction OF the small bones Of the joint,
of course preventing the freedom of their &C.
ton, and producing pain and lameness that,
in plurality Of cases, on skill, no treatment,
no operation can benefcially effect"
