Walking Horses.


The best gait a horse ever had for
every day use is a good walk. Colts
are not trained to walk in all the
Eastern States. Young America
wants more speed. Kentucky has
more good walking horses than any
other State, for there horseback trav-
cling has long been in fashion for men
and women, over a country where
muddy roads at times rendered any
other gait impossible, and so horses
have been bred for the saddle and
trained to walking gait. This is also
the case in all the Western States,
and perhaps might have been So 10
New England. when our grandmoth-
ers rode to meeting on a pillion be-
hind our grandfathers. But one
horse wagons have put horseback
riding out of fashion, and now a good
walking horse is more rare than one
that can trot mile in 2:40.
At the Sprinfeld (Mass.) Horse
Show Of 1866, the writer was one of
the Committee to award prizes to the
best walking horses. Out of seven
teen entered, the Committee found
but one which was considered a first
late walker. This was a Morrill, mare,
which walked FIVE miles an hour with
ease. Two others were fair walkers,
and the rest knew no gait that could
be called walking. At the New York
State Fair the same state of facts was
again developed. A letter from Wis
consin says: think horses trained
to walk fast would be greater benefit
to our farmers in general than fast
trotters, as almost all their work has
to be done with a walk" / once
knew a man In Massachusetts,. who.
before the railroads were built, kept
from two to four teams at work on
the road, and never allowed them to
trot at all, and made the distance in
quicker time than his neighbors, who
made their horses trot at every con-
venient place. He said that when
horse commenced to walk after a trot
he walked much slower than his COM
mon gait. if kept on a walk, and there
by lost more than he gained. Will
farmers think of this, and pay more
attention to walking horses?-Fdrn1-

Faffening Animals

Animals Of all kinds lay on flesh
very rapidly as the weather grows
cooler. Keep beeves and sheep in
pasture as long as the feed is good, .
but yard them at night, and feed twice
a day with grain If they are to be
marketed soon: otherwise simply feed
so as to be sure they are constantly
gaining. Pigs should have cooked
food, and plenty of it. Push forward
their fattening as rapidly as possible,
for at no season will they gain faster.
Keep them clean and give them warm
shelted nests. Farmers who have
not already commenced to prepare
their hogs for market, should lose no
time Ia doing so. One week Of this
favorite weather is worth two weeks
IN December. Poultry also gain very
rapidly, and it is best to fatten them
on scalded meal. with corn, wheat
screenings, and other food in addi-
ton, at daylight in the morning and
late in the afternoon.

WinterIng Farm stock.

As Winter approaches, the farmer
IS reminded that his live stock can no
longer wander over the fields and col
lect their food from day to day.
The barns are we'll stored with hay
and grain. Stacks and ricks of hay
and fodder surround the barns and
stables as a corps de TeSerUe, showing
the thriftiness and foresight of the
industrious farmer in providing for
the coming Winter. But what &C
Winter? We can readily perceive
when it begins, but who can predict
when it will end?
Some people think that when butter
is plenty it should be spread thick on
the bread, without thinking that it may
some time become scarce, and then the
bread will not be eaten with so good a
relish with thidner spread, or with
out any at all. So with the Winter
fodder; they begin to feed very lavish
at the commencement of Winter
not only lavishly, but wastefully-
thinking that so large an amount of
food can hardly be eaten by their
stock during the Winter, forgetting
that the Winter may be a very long
one.
There is a deeper view of the mat
ter, and one that is worth looking
into. All that farmer grows on his
farm is worth money-worth dollars
that is the word-talk of dollars, and
every one can appreciate it. Now,
all this hay, and straw, and corn, and
oats can be converted into dollars. A
farmer will not scatter his dollars
about carelesaly, but he will some
times wrste, or let go to waste that
which, If properly applied, can be
converted into dollars.
The important question presents
itself here-how all this great accu-
mutation of stock food can be con-
verified into the most money? Not by
throwing it In large quantities before
the stock to be trampled under their
feet. This, you say. will make ma
nure. So it will; hit at what cost?
Did the farmer toll, and sweat, and
hire help during the whole Summer
to collect all this great amount of
fodder merely to make manure?
Better to have left it where it grew
on the ground, by which the addi-
tional advantage of mulehing would
have been secured. Valuable as il
manure. it may be purchased too
dear. Do you suppose that stock
will thrive any better by having
large quantities of food continually
at their disposal to either eat or waste
No; they will not thrive 80 well. The
appetite becomes cloyed and vitiated
by the very abundance presented to
them through kindness; they select
the most palatable parts and reject
the remainder; they thus cultivate 6
fastidious appetite that becomes more
and more critical every day.
Stock will thrive better with Just as
much food given SIS they will eat uI
clean. This should be at stated peri.
DDS and regularly attended to. IF b.
feeding economically large surplus
Is found : % on hand at the end Of
the season, Z is better than to have
wasted it; but it would have beer
better and more profitable to have
added more stock, which would have
yielded more profit. Don't waste tn,
food, nevertheless; your fields ma,
aot yield so abundantly the next sea
son, aud your hay being well secure,
will lose none of its virtues by beinj
kept oyer.-An,er. Stock Journal.
