How to Fatten a Poor Horse.

Many good horses devour large
quantities of grain or hay, and still
continue thin and poor; the food
eaten is not properly assimilated.-
If the usual feed has been unground
grain and hay, nothing but a change
will effect any desirable alteration
of the appearance of the animal
In case oil meal can not be obtain
ed readily, mingle a bushel of fax
seed with a bushel of barley, one of
oats, and another of Indian corn
and let it be ground into fine meal.
This will be a fair proportion for all
his feed. Or the meal, or the
barley, oats and corn, in equal
quantities, may first be procured,
and one fourth part of oil cake min
gled with it, when the meal is sprin-
kled on cut feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the
mixture three times daily, mingled
with a peck of cut hay and straw.
If the horse will eat grcedily, let
the quantity be gradually increased
until he will eat four or six quarts
at every feeding three times day.
So long as the animal will eat this
allowance the quantity may be in
creased a little every day. Bu
avoid the practice of allowing a
horse to stand at a rack well filed
with hay. In order to fatten a
horse that has run down in flesh,
the groom should be very particu-
lar to feed the animal no more than
he will eat up clean and lick his
manger for more Elk.
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-09-24
what it Costs to Keep Stock.

A gentleman in Northern Ohio,
after a number of years experience,
concludes that it is worth, to keep
horses, as many shillings per week
as hay is worth dollars per ton. If
hay is worth SO per ton, It is
worth 10 shillings per week; if SIS,
Is shillings, and SO on. If a man
has a large range and an open win
ter, horses can be kept for much
less. Sometimes it is necessary to
to feed some grain; that should be
an extra charge. Cattle viii eat as
much as horses, but they are
usually kept on cheaper hay-red
TOP, not so merchantable and coarse
fodder; consequently they can be
wintered for two thirds as much as
horses. That is, if good hay is
worth So per ton, it is worth eight
shillings per week, etc. Five sheep
will count as much as one steer
In winter droyes Of cattle can
be fed for as many cents per day as
the hay fed is worth dollars per ton.
Hay at SO, cattle at ten cents per
day; SIS, at Is cents per day, etc.
And to pasture them in summer 1t
is worth thirds as much as to
feed hay in winter. If 10 cents
per day in winter, it is worth 10
cents TO pasture in summer; and
allowing FIVE sheep to eat as much
as a steer, it is worth two cents per
day each, if it is worth 10 cents
each to keep cattle. With these
rules one can easily determine what
it IS worth to keep stock in any
rnV

The Crops in Ohio

1t is estimated that the wheat
crop in Ohio this year will amount
to about thirty millions of bushels,
or about double what it was last
year. Corn Will be about one third
of crop, Of about thirty millions
Of bushels. The heaviest corn crop
ever grown in the State measured
93,000,000 bushels. The oats crop
is double what it was last year, and
the hay crop is excellent, and comes
into market here and elsewhere in
first rate order. Potatoes are un-
iformly good, although it is feared
that the present dry weather viii
iniure the late crop q little.

Wonders of Science,

Wonders of science never cease !
Some years ago the opinion was ex-
pressed by distinguished astronO-
mer of Cambridge, England, that if
the earth's atmosphere were but in
creased thirteen thousand yards
in hight, so as to have an in
creased power Of retaining the warmth
poured upon it from outer space, we
might do without the sun altogether,
so far as our heat supply is concern
ed. More recently, by means of an
intrument called the galvanometer,
used in connection with a refracting
telescope, it has not only been proved
that the stars actually give heat to
the earth, but the comparative amount
of heat received from different stars
has been, as it were measured.

To Remove RuSt,

a lady writing from Vermont tC
the Hearth and Home says that she
accidentally discovered an easy way
of removing rust from steel. She
put a number of badly-rusted forks
in a tumbler of kerosene oil, and af-
ter leaving them there some time,
found that the rust had become so
much loosened that it rubbed off read
lily. She says that she has since then
used the oil to clean her knives and
sewing machine.
