Butter Pastures.

There is an neglect in many of Us in regard
To pastures OF any kind, and a serious neglect
in regard 70 the pasturing for mich cows.
With too many ot1,s, If the heritage in pass
ture comes up green in the spring, and contin,
ne, 50 through the sumner it Is a pasture
No matter what the kind OF grass or heritage
it is that gives the green color to the face of
il, We turn in our cattle aud let them " take
chance, az the lrishmen say Now the COW
if she could speak, would tell you, in strong
language that every green field is not IA pasture
for her Indeed she does tell you every day,
in the quantity aud quality of her milk, and
in the quality of her butter aud cheese, what
the character of the pasture is.
The COW Is an amino chemico manufacturer.
/ Her duty is To manufacture the food that you
supply her with into milk, butter, cheese, dc.
According TO the quality of the raw material
given, will be the quality of the product. Of
tentines the poor COW is blamed and consid-
cred good for nothing when her owner is to
blame for supplying her with good-ior-nothing
material from which to make the product re-
qured.
A little observation will convince any one
of this fact. In some rough pastures il is
difficult to make much improvements or
changes, but yet much can be done by the use
Of plaster, bone-dust, &C., and by scattering
occasionally the seed of the best kinds of grass.
Mr.. Dickinson, in an address delivered be-
fore the Tioga Agricultural Society in Penn
sylyania, said the 4" first quality of butter land
is confined to portions of New England New
jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, while
cheese and sheep can be grown wherever
I grass grows.
For this you must have in your pastures
Timothy, (llerdsgrass), white clover, blue
grass what We call June grass, Ed, red-top
pure soft water, and a rolling or billy coun.
try. There will be then when swarded over
a solidlty and sweetness to the grass, that will
! give to the butter that rich sweet favor that
makes il so desirable Butter partakes moi
only of everything the COW eats and drinks
but of every offensive thing within It's reacl
after il is made
He also advances the theory that butte
made from red clover fed to cows is GOO
when first made, but when laid down in pack
, ages six months il seems 10 lose it, favor, ant
become more or les rancid, according as III,

Protecting Domestic Animals.

Having called special attention to the i'm
portance of care ia this branch OF good
husbandry, let cattle feeders read what the
dairyman Of the tica Hsrah says on this
subject:
Farmers generally do not appreciate the
loss SUSTAINED in the condition and health Of
donesticated animals by their exposure to
cold rains, seet and snow. Most of them
can endure severe cold SO long as they can
keep dry, bu. when their bodies become wet
and are kept wet, evaporation begins, which
carries off heat rapidly, and they are soon
.chlled through This dernge- health and
most especially with mich cows, which are
less vigorous and able to resist sudden changes
from heat to cold than stock not devoted TO
the dairy Most of our domesticated animals
endure sudden changes from cold to heat
with mpunity, but the opposite is often at
tended with very injurious consequences
Again. even if the health of animals is not
seriously impaired u larger quantity Of food
will be required to supply the heat thus lost
OF there must be necessarily waste of flesh
On the score of economy in food, to say moth.
ing Of derunged health il is cheaper 10 house
cattle in wet and stormy weather, whether
rain or snow.
certain amount of food il required t.
keep up the temperature of the body, and il
extremely cold weather the appetite is mucl
sharper than in mild weather. The extr
food ordinarily used in cold Weather Is no
employed for laying up flesh but il consume
to make heat II Is this principle whic
renders it more difficult and expensive to fat
ten animals in cold than in warm weather.
There il wide difference of opnio
among rtockmeu in regard to the winter man
agement of milch COWS. The old class 6
farmers insist that stock Is healthier when a
lowed 10 run in the yard most Of the day
while Others urge that the hest results al
obtained by keeping cows in the stable mo-
Of the time during winter, allowing them I
20 out daily only for water, and return in
mediately to the stable.
There is no doubt but the latter system wi
require less food than the other, but it is n,
yet fully established that such close confn
ment is promotiye of the largest developmel

more ia accordance with nature, even ihoul
more fodder may be required 20 carry the
through. But in stormy weather, or when
is extremely cold, doubtless the hest place I;
cattle is the stable or under shelter. Not
ing about the farm pays better than care al
attention to stock during winter, and If
saving Is to be made both in food aud heali
all storms aud sudden changes must be guar
ed against as far as possible,
This is sound doctrine and should be bee
ed by all, and more especially by dairymeu

pipes and chimneys is not unfrcquently the
cause of fires, occasioning the loss sometimes
of both property and life. This agent for
evil is one of the most valuable manures and
nothing but the most culpable carelcssness
and Indifference will suffer it to remain as a
standing menace to life and property, when
it can be easily removed and turned to good
account in the field or garden. Twelve quarts
of SCOT in a hogshcad of water, will make a
powerful liquid manure, which will improve
the growth of flowers, garden vegetables, OF
root crops. In either liquid or solid state
it makes mn excellent top-dres-ing for grass OF
cereal crops.
