/ diet IN FORMING oJues ana muso.-, is
| bad economy, unless for market. Oats,
! peas and beans, promote growth and
/ strength; and for this reason should form
/ the grain feed for growing animals. Oxen
! and horses can be made 10 perform much
mora labor and cows viii yield more and
| richer milk, on q generous diet of corn
meal, but in the long run, 1t affects their
| health. The horse needs richer food than
/ the OK, and will bear it ; yet corn, unier
! all cireumst lnces is not the grain
/ Some of the i'll effects Of a course of high
| feeding the horse upon corn, are seen in
| a dull eye, dark skin, and rough coat
To roadsters, particularly in warn,
weather, when lisble to be overheated
| by exertion, It gives a tendency to
greater heat, aud to laying on fat ( when
q diet is made simply to repEir waste
! muscle, oats, dry hay, and carrots are
! the most appropriate feed FOR fast driv-
ing horses. For draught/ horses, whose
motions are slow, the bsd effects OF meal
are not as apparent; still a mixture Of
other grain ground with corn, is much
better.
CARROTS FOR HORSES.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has been IN
formed by the proprietor of one Of the
most extensive livery stables in that
city that he has an experience OF several
years in feeding the common yellow car
rots to his hsrses, snd that he considers
them the most valuable article for win
ter feed thst he has ever used. He con-
siders peck OF carrots ald peck OF
oats worth more for a horse than bush
el of oats alone and for horses that are
not constantly employed the carrots
alone are far preferable to oats. lie
would purchase carrots fer his horses in
/ preference to oats, even if they cost toe
same by the bushei the price f carrots,
however, is greater than that Cf oats,
but the benefits derived make up for
! this. His horses eat the carrots with
! far better relish than the oats so much
so as if peck Of each are turned into a
( manger, they will eat all the carrots be-
/ fore they taste the oats. When fed con-
/ stantly on carrots, 8 horse viii drink
/ scarcely a pail of water in a week. The
| culture of carrots is recommended to our
I farmers As worthy Of their attention.
SALMON IN NEW ENGLAND,
The Boston Journal says: The sx-
pertinent " hich has been Undertaken by
/ the New Hampshire Commissioners Of
/ River Fisheries, of stocking the Con-
neeticut river with salmon, has SO far
I succeeded well. OF the impreguated
4 eggs deposited at the Cold Spring batch
! ing works, at ChsrlestOwn, \. H, over
/ SO 1920 per cent. have hatched, and have
| become healthy and very lively young
/ salmon II is the intention Of the Com
missioners to rear them artificially till
| they are ready to go to the sea, which
/ will be year from next spring. la the
I fall of that year, 1869, they will return,
! seeking the sources of the river, and will
/ then weigh il is estimated, from three
and half to ten pounds, which weight
! they will soon double and quadTuple. IL
is hoped, before the return cf the salmon,
/ that all distractions at the mills on the
1 Connecticut river will be removed, and
that nothing will prevent them from
| ascending the river as high as they like
/ If the present plans are carried out in
regard to stocking this river, million
or more Of young salmon viii be put IN
every yesr, and Of suca size that
they can easily 90 to the sea and return ;
and Judging from data obtained from
experiments tried in English waters, we
are authorized to suppose that by this
means the productive wealth Of the Con-
necticut river will be increased millions
ofdoliais annuslly, IS any one can easily
I see for himself by calculating the value
/ OF a milliSn salmon of ten or twenty
pounds weight
g Great credit is due in this matter to
DR.. Fletcher, of Concord, who, out OF
several that made the attempt, was the
only one who succeeded in procuring
salmon spawn for the New England
rivers. Ii should be known, also, that
the merit Of this undertaking, OF obtain
ing salmon eggs for these rivers, is due
to the New Hampshire commissioners,
acting Independently, and not to the
New England commissioners generally,
as has been tefore stated. Should the
promises of the present be only one hall
fulfilled, the time will come before long
when salmon will be common article
of food, and together with the vast quan
titles of shad which are expected in few
years from our rivers, will very peTcep-
tibly reduce the cost Of living in New
England, and enable the poor man TO
have every day on his table food that
has long ranked with US among expen-
slve luXuries."
