Economy IN Horse Feeding.

A writer in the American Stock Journal
says:
Every one who keeps a horse either for
prof. or pleasure, in addition to keeping
him well, should study how to keep him
with an outlay of the least money. The
farmer who has plenty of food for his horse
should be no exception. Al that the far
mer grows or should grow can be converted
into money; there should be no waste be-
cause of plenty. If your present stock will
not consume all your stock food econOmi-
cally fed. buy more stock to make profit
on the balance. A farmer who understands
his business will always know how to do
this; but never waste, although your farm
and grainaries may be full TO OVERLOOKING.
Grass either green OF cured is the natural
food for the horse. aud is essential for h is
good health. Green is the natural state.
therefore the best; but we cannot have it
green all the year round in this climate,
therefore we should do the next best thing
with it-cook it-steam it. Experience
has provca that hay when steamed has all
its natural juices and virtues revived, and
is equal TO grass, and neatly or quite as pal
a.able to stook-that even mouldy hay is,
ben steamed. jusI as Palatable to stock as

FRIDAY MORNING, oCTBR. 80. 1868.
storing Pctatoes for winter

It is often a matter Of very great pecuni-
ary importance for a farmer to be able to
keep his potato crop until spring. Many
made very handsome sums by pursuing this
course the past season. Potatoes were
bought last fall for fifty cents bushel, and
those in good order were sold very gener
ally in spring for two dollars. AS long as
the custom Of early marketing prevails SO
generally, the man who cultivates the new
seedlings and stores them until spring, will
be likely to pursue safe course. Prices
are generally enough higher to pay for the
extra landings, and leave margin for
profit. They can be stored upon the sur
face OF the ground in any dry position in
the same manner as turnips, but this re-
quires much care in covering the pits on
account Of the extreme weather that pre-
walls in the best potato districts. Il is not
uncommon for the earth to freeze two feet
deep, and the raising OF a mound with walls
of that thickness over potatoes is a great la
Dor. 1t has its advantages, however, in saw
ing carting and once handling. The heaps
where the potatoes grow, aud so near to-
getber that when the potatoes are picked up
they are taken directly to the heaps, which
contain from thirty to one hundred bushels
each, as suits the convenience of the farm
err. A light covering of straw is thrown
over the heap and the earth is thrown upon
the straw, making roof that will shed wa
ter and keep out the frost When the far
mer wishes to keep his potatoes for spring
market, this is a good method. Another
way is to store the potatoes in pits, partly
below the surface. but this can only be done
where the soil is perfectly drained. There
is not much difference in the labor Involv-
ed, or in the security of the crop against
frost. Farmers living near ports, who wish
to ship their potatoes in the winter. build
cheap vaults or cellars in hillsides that W i'll
hold from 500 to 1900 bushels. The vault
has window and shoot arranged for tip
ping in a cart load at a time, and door is
upon the south end for taking the potatoes
out. In New Jersey and on Long Island it
is quite common to store them 10 the house
or barn cellar, to be ready for market at
any time when the prices suit. Immense
quantities are stored by dealers in the city
of New York, mostly q barrels, but some
times in bulk. In cellar storage straw
should be thrown over them to keep out the
light. This crop keeps best away from the
air, in darkness, and at a low temperature,
few degrees above freezing. That method
is best which secures these conditions most
perfectly, with the least labor and with the
least expense.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1868-10-30

that which has been well cured and pre-
served. For both convenience and econo-
my, hay should be cut before it is steamed.
Hay and straw cutters have been SO i'm
proved Of late ears. and competition has so
reduced prices, that there is no excuse for
any man who keeps a horse not to have
one.
Straw has become too Valuabe to be used
for bedding stock Look at its price in
the market reports-it is almost equal to
the best of hay-then why waste it when
you eau make so much more out of it by
steaming and feeding it? 1t is not thus
lost to the manure heap-iC may be in bulk,
but not in the ferlilizing virtues. Stable
floors will have to be constructed as to do
without bedding. Farming is being re-
duced to a science. and those who will shut
their eyes to the light of Improvement and
pod on in the old wasteful ways of their
fathers in feeding stock, viii! not be able to
compete with their more enlightened neigh
bors who keep up with the times.
There is great wastefulness in feeding
whole grain to horses, or any other stock.
It should not only be ground, but steamed.
1t should be mixed with cut hay or straw
and steamed together. This is not theory
alone. but is based on experience carefully
tee I'd and found that there is gain of at
least fifty per cent.
Now, if two tons of hay or straw cut and
steamed are equal to three tons not thus
treated, and two bushels of corn ground
and steamed are equal to three bushels un-
ground and raw. then every third ton and
every third bushel is saved by this process,
which will enable the farmer to keep one
third more stock and in better condition,
Here is where the extra profit comes in.
