Idiue Of Cheese.

We cut from the Utica Herald 4 synop-
SIS Of the remarks on this subject, 10y
Hon. Horatio Seymour. President Of the
American Dairymen's Association;
Cheese should be used more tor food
in this country, it i wise to do SO on
account OF u matter OF economy. Cheese
has been used in all the worlds history.
The American people lost the habit and
skill when they first came here pork and
other animal food could then be easily pro
duccd. and thus we lost the habit OF
eating cheese. Ii i n great cost 10 cook
animal TODD there is waste in the Sarc,
and the poor of our people always pay
the highest price for the poorest food. If
they would get cheese it would cost less 4;
cost nothing To cook and there's no waste
in the same He thought the American
dairvmen could look forward 10 an in
creased home market Cheese was
decidedly the cheapest article of food, and
it would not % down in prIce. 1t was 4
cheap necessity and not cheap luxury
as was generally thought. lie hoped
some step would he taken to impress the
Importance OF using cheese upon orr
people. Pork was distributed and Justly
TOO. We should call upon our govern
meut 70 make cheese one OF the rationS OF
the army. Our armies could have been
more easily supplied with cheese than
with pork. Cheese could lee easily
carried; it would keep; it was con-
dcn>cd article; it could be carried on
horseback anl military men had said it
would have been m excellent thing Such
a consumption of cheese would create a
new market. lie suggested that some
resolutions upon the subject should be
passed and the question OF supplying the
poor with cheese be urged upon the
authorities.

saw gray horse she rushed upon it, and
attacked it with the greatest fury. 1t was
the same at all times and everywhere
She was all that could be wished on the
parade. on the route, in the ranks, in ac-
lion, and in the stable; bat such was her
hatred towards gray or white horses, that
it was dangerous to place them III tue
same stable with her, at whatever dis-
lance. If she ever caught glimpse oil
one. whether horse or mare, she rested
not mill she had thrown her rider and
rushed upon it with the greatest fury, and
bit it in a thousand places. She general
ly. however, seized the animal by the
head or throat, and held it SO fast that she
would suffocate it, if il were not prompt
~ relieved from her bite. As she grew
old this mania was not quite removed,
but il was somewhat weakened. No 9TH
err body of white color appeared TO make
the least impression on her.
A mare. belonging to the fifth squadron
Of French husSars, feared, on the contra
nv. all white animated objects--such as
white mantles or coats, or even sleeves
of shirts, and chemises too much display
ed, and particularly white plumes. When
any of these white bodies. and especially
in motion. when suddenly perceived, II
they were of any magnitude, and their
motion was rapid. she was in dreadful
fright, and strove to escape; but 1t they
were of no great size, aud moved more
gently. she rushed furiouSly upon them,
struck nj them with her fore feet. and en-
deavored TO tear them with her teeth
No other colors produced the slightest ef-
feet upon her, nor did the appearance,
however sudden. of white horses, or dogs
of the same color; but if white plume
waved, or white sheet Of paper floated
by her. her fear or rage was ungovcrna-
BILE.
These three cases Of singular and par
ticular aversion possess all the characters
of true monamania.

Hoqs udnt Sulphur.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an eS-
sential 10 their health, or whether it is
sought by them As a condiment, may not
be known for certainty But one thing
i sure, they devour il with greed when
ever it is to be found Ii is for this pur-
pose. probably. that they eat large guam
titles of soft coal, which contains a large
amount of sulphur. Perhaps thi, is the
most economical method of supplying
hogs with sulphur during the winter,
when they require a good deal of carbon.
But in the summer, it is better 10 feed it
TO them in substances which contain less
carbon. on account of their producing
less heat Mustard is one OF the best
things for this purpose, and on that ac-
count some of it should be Sown in every
pasture into which hogs are turned. Ii
hogs are kept up, or are in small yards,
it Is well to supply them with wild mus
tard that grows in the fields or highways,
ur 20 cultivate some of the better varie-
ties for them They will eat It's leaves,
towers, seeds and stalks Prairie Far

stagnant Water Causing Abortion In Cow.
and Mares.

Stagnant or foul water is injurious 10
all animals. 1t causes blood poisoning
and thus leads to many febrile complaints.
Il brings on abortion in other animals as
well a in COWS. Two winters ago three
valuable mares. belongingto a somewhat
careless. untidy farmer, slipped their colts
shortly after Christmas. These mares
had been tolerably we'll kept and not too
hardly wrought, but they had been
waterld for several weeks at a pool. by
the side OF which large manure heap had
been ioolishly placed, and into which the
highly colored organic matters freely
found their way. Some ewes watered
from the same pool east their lambs !;
whilst another lot of ewes kept two fields
distant, managed in exactly the same
way, but enjoying apurer supply ofwater,
carried their lambs 10 the full period
Since better care has been taken to pre-
vent the water supply being contaminated
by the manure heap. neither mares nor
ewes have suffered from abortion.
Similar eases have doubtless occurred in
the experience of many of our readers
