Grounduav for Ca,tIc Feed

Joseph S. Kirk. of Piusburg, InJ
writes to the New York Farmers Club
as follows:
For some time past / have been ma-
king observations and experiments in ami
mails food, and obtaining what ! believe
TO be an improvement, | take the lib
erty of communicating to your club the
results. Grass being the natural food for
live stock, it is easily and properly mas
ticated, and as a consequence its nutri-
ton easily extracted. With hay, howey-
CT, the case is different, for when fed in
sufficient quantities the animal, es-
pecially if its teeth have become fiat.
tened by age, attempts to satisfy itself
by selecting the leaves and tender
branches. To ObviGte this difficulty,
and prevent waste, cutting hay in
short lengths has TO an extent
become general, and is, no doubt q
step in the right direction. My belief is
that we should 60 still further, and grind
the hay as we now grind oats and corn.
1t is thought that owing TO its glutinou:
nature hay could not be reduced to a state
of meal, or if so reduced, the expense at
tending would not justify. To test this,
/ constructed cutter and crusher on new
principles, and the result was beyond my
most sanguine expectations. Ten tuns q
day can be ground with one machine, al
a cost not to exceed one dollar per ton
Ground in this manner hay is not unlikt
ground oats, save in color, its weight be
ing from 80 to SO pounds per bushel
Mixed with chopped feed, such as corn o
oats, makes a cheap and excellent food
Thus we effect by mechanical means wha
the hard working or decrepid animal il
incapable of doing-perfect mastication.

Strengthening and Dressing HOgs

At meeting of the Delaware (Ohio)
Farmers Club, the subject of slaughter
ing and dressing hogs was discussed, as
well as the curing of pork. 1t was re-
commended that the hog should be laid on
the back; that the party butchering
should stand over the hog, left hand on
nose, edge of the knife toward the hog /;
cut both arteries, three inches sufficient,
five better, the main thing TO bleed well.
Scald as soon as killed-two hogs to one
kettle of water blood is good test for
the water if too hot it curdles the blood;
water should be soft; if hard throw in
some ashes; some prefer pine tar or
rosin. Throw a bucket of cold water
over the hog as soon as scalded-it closes
the pores and whitens the skin.
When hung up, wash, scrape up
wards, wash again, and wipe with a
cloth; should be thoroughly washed,
scraped and wiped; heart or liver should
never be cut in the hog; take entralls out
to jugulaT vein, then take the vein, heart
and liver out. ThepOrk should be slightly
sailed for two or three days, skin down,
and then turned and covered with salt,
put in brine for thirty days for medium
seized ham; brine should be preserved, old
brine the best, but should be boiled and
SKINNED before used; salt should be well
rubbed in: coarse salt the best, not safe
to use salt in the bottom of the barrel
after having stood for some time; eight
pounds salt, five pounds sugar, and one
fourth pound salpeter TO the 100 pounds
meat is the best recipe.

nenorarIng Worn Out Lands.

Mr. B. Bristol, of Wallingford, Conn,
is highly pleased with an experiment he
tried with swamp muck in restoring worn
out lands. He says:
1t was tried on an old worn out sandy
field, which, according to tradition, had
been cropped with rye 25ycars out of 80.
A part of the field, on the brow of hill,
was completely exhausted, and its cult
walton abandoned. On this part, in the
month of August, drew and dumped
several loads of muck leaving them some
distance apart, that I might see the result.
The muck was spread in circular form,
and left about four inches deep. The
field was then plowcd and sowed with
rye. In few weeks these spots could be
distinctly seen one hundred rods distant.
The next summer the rye on these spots
was SO heavy that il actually lOdgcd, while
all around them it was so small that il was
not considered worth cutting. The next
two or three seasons, (as the field was
seeded down. the change was, if any,
thing, more marked. The thick rank
clover that stood on these spots, sur
rounded by sand, reminded me of the
oasis in the desert. The rest of it subse-
quently received q coating of muck, and
was set out with apple trees, which have

Care of Horses.

All haTdships will tell upon horse, as
upon any animal, man included. 1t may
not tell at once, but it will in the future.
A horses life may be shortened or pro-
longed, as we have carefully noted in
many instances.
Richard Kintcr, an old pioneer Of Stark,
used TO keep his horses till they were
thirty years of age and upwards; and they
would at thirty do a good days work.
They were fat, and in good, healthy con
ditiOn. a span Of horses On the old
homestead were worn out at the age OF
eighteen, and died in year or two after.
They were rather a celebrated team of
brown, spitfire geldings, the best in the
neighborhood. But they were the only
or nearly the only team on the farm, and
they did an immense amount of work.
Highly worked highly fed, ruined them.
One of the horses became blind, first at
one eye, then the other also; and so con-
! tinucd to work The other got thick
! leg (grease), and both were stiff and bent.
Other teams did nearly the same work
with better usage, that is, less STAINING,
! less hard and long service at time, con
! SGQNcDllY CllhllCC 70 ICtIull III NV iulNA
! inns of labor. Here was no excess Of work
OF continued labor. There was q cheerful
ness and a willingness, and good lively
appearance, with also a better condition
making the horse enjoy his work. To
make a slave of brute is like making :
slave of a man; it is to be avoided.
A horse willing TO do work, and capa
bic from good treatment, will not only De
nearly or quite the same work, but do
much longer; and it is better to have tn
last five years of ''well-broke' horse
than the first five years of a newly-tutOre,
one; there is more work and more relia
biiity.
We can strain machine and abuse II
or we can oil it and take care of it. In th
one case we get double the benefit, more o
less; in the other we have our broken
down horse. We need not apply tn,
moral here-it is too evident. The merci
full man takes care of his horse, and h
has the consciousness of doing this as we
as the benefit. t. Utica Herald

Sheen.

From valuable paper read before the
New York State Agricultural Society we
Gull the following suggestions in regard to
sheep and their wintering. First, it does
not pay to keep inferior sheep, An ami
NAL worth but one dollar eats as much or
more than one worth Eve, while the prof:
is far less. Sheep should have good shell
Ter and regular feeding and care. The
floors of their pens should be supplied
with an abundance of clean litter. Tan
bark is good for this purpose. Sheep en-
Joy a good clean place to lie down, and if
supplied with it win readily acquire flesh.
Never allow strangers in the yard unless
attended by the feeders, as quiet is es-
sential to the healthful reposc
of the flock. The value of the manure
afforded by flock of sheep is very great,
and in few years it will double the pro
duction of the land upon which they are
kept. Some of the best feeders feed four
bushels of cut roots each day at noon to
every hundred sheep. Oil meal fed after
the regular morning feeding is recon-
mended, commencing with a pint and
gradually increasing the quantity to a
Quart. One day of lax feeding will de-
stroy the effects of three days of good.
Water also should be supplied regularly.
There is a great deal in economy in feed
ing, which is attained by having the feed
boxes well arranged and keeping them
perfectly clean. 1t is good plan TO have
them inverted when not in use.

ern Rural writes as follows
81 suppose a great many will object TO

to lie until spring, and then plOw deep-it
from eight 10 ten inches, so much the bet
ter. The reason is because the ground
freezes so hard in this Western country
that il takes the best strength out of the
land That is al prevented by spring
blowing. Plow your ground in the spring,
and it will be nice and loose, and it will
not take more than half as long 10 cult.

\ correspondent Of the RUroi NeO

means Of exterminating this pest:

securing the stains off the bedstead with
ashes, wash, with hot alum water, the
floors and all parts where there are any
signs of them. l have never known it
