Farm stock must now derend, in a
great measure, ON what is given TO it;
and much depends on how it Is given
how 1t ia prepared, and what quantity.
These are matters that should occupy
the mind Of every stock owner; he
should be able TO estimate how much
food will be the cheapest-remem bering
always that there should be a variety
and chnnge from one to the other. SO
that the appetite may. not be cloyed BY
too long continuance Of one variety.
Many experiments have been made in
cooking food for stock; these have been
conducted by men of intelligence for the
purpose of acquiring facts on which to I
base fair calculations. Arithmetic has
lent its aid; weights and measures have
been used as well with feed as with The
aninaals fed. The general result from
all these facts and figures go to show
that there is a saving of from twenty-five
to thirty three per cent. by. properly
cooking the food for farm stock, and
that the best and cheapest way of doing
it is by steam. The great wonder is,
that with ali this knowledge put into the
hands OF every farmer who reads an ag-
ricultural paper, the practice Of fsteaming
or in some way cooking food for stock
has not become more general. We trust
that nany who have not hitherto dons
1t will commence this Winter.
TIE article on fuel FOR fam " use has
now a strong claim on our attention. 1t
is the practice with too many to post
pone preparing winter firewood until it
can be no longer postponed. This is not
only wrong in the economy, but in tho
enjoyment of life. Fires made of green
wood are both slow and yexafious. Our
wives and daughters will greet US with
sweeter smiles when retiring from cur
labor, if we have supplied them
with plenty Of welI-prepared dry woot
for cooking our meals aud warming the
house. What better recompense could
we desire? ~

FIRsT SALT MADEH IN OHIO.

In the fall of 1894, in the time of th,
Indian war, there was a great scarcity o
salt hereabouts. It had previously beer
packed over the mountains. and cos
from six to ten dollars bushel. Griffin
Greene, Esq, then living in Farmer.
Castle, Belprs. had heard report from
some one who had been a prisoner
among the Indians, that there were sail
springs near where the town of jackson
now is. Indians made salt there; but
no white man had ever been there, ex.
cept as a prisoner. Daniel Boone, when
q prisoner, was once there, and the loca-
ton was only known in general way,
as on g creek (now known as Salt Creek
that ran In certain direction into the
Scioto. Mr.. Greene, Maj. Robt. Brad
ford and Joel Oaks associated themselves
together to hunt for the springs. They
went down the Ohio in pirogue, tax
ing soms experienced woodsmAn from
Belteville, Va, and landing ut Leading
and struck through the woods to fnd
the springs, about forty miles distant,
but they then knew not how far. After
several days search they struck on q
creek that led in the right direction;
and rowing it down they were led by
buffalo paths to the sprisgs, where fires
not long cut showed that Indians had
lately been at work. With a small ket-
tie filled with Drsckish water they boil
ed out something like an ounce of salt.
The party tEen speut night and part of
q day in making all the salt they coald
in the time, and started with it honls
highly elsted.
And this was the first salt made by
the white settlers of Ohio.
They reacAsd the Ohio river, and were
barely in the middle of the river when
a party of twenty Indians appeared ON
the banks in pursuit of them. The es-
cape was considered proyidentisl.
Greene and his partners, Bradford and
Oakes, sold the right of their discovery
to John Nicholson, OF Philsdsiphia, for
81 $50, the purchaser expecting to buy

Founder I'm Horses.

Benjamin w. Wood writes to the
SoatherE .CaitiOator, on this subject, as
follows: Fl
"Many years ago learnt a cure for
founder in horses, which is so simple,
and has proved so successful in my
hands, that send it TO you, thinking it
may be OF service to some Of your read
ers:
Clean out bottom of foot thoroughly
hold up the leg so as to bring the bottom
Of tho foot upward, holding it up firmly
in horizontal position, and pour in,
say tablespoonful of spirits of turpen-
tine, if the cavity of the hoof will hold
that much-if not, pour in what it will
hold, without danger of running over;
touch the turpentine with red hot iron
(this will set il on fire. and hold the
hoof firmly in position until it all burns
out. Great care must be taken that none
of the tnrpentine runs over ON the hair
of the hoof, lest the skin be burned. If
all the feet are affected, burn turpentine
in each of them. Relief will speedily
follow, and the animal be ready for SER
vice in short me. onco applied this
remedy to horse that had been foun-
dered twenty-four hours before saw
him, and be was promptly relieved. III
another case, where the animal could
hardly be induced to move, his suffering
was so great, he was treated in the same
manner as soon as his trouble was dis
covered, and in less than ali hour after =
ward he was hitched toa buggy and dri-
vsn some twenty-five miles the same p
day, all lainsness. disappearing after he
had travelled few miles"
This is valuable information; at least.
believing it to be so, we present it to our
readers.
