4 HUNGARIAN DAIRY. Yesterday We went
cut east OF Pesth to look over a farm of g
gentleman who, it ia said, has the finest
lot Of cows in Hungary. We found about
sixty head Of really splendid cattle OF
mixed Holland and Swiss breeds, very large
and smooth skinned, admirably kept in
stables SO clean and airy that we had fully
anticipated and were prepared to relish The
excellent cold milk which was presented to
us for Refreshments
These COWS are not pastured, that is they
do not depend on pastarage, although they
are allowed sufficient run for exercise and
health. Their food consisted of cut straw,
Hungarian grass, and 'fbran mash" The
stables are furnished with straw cuttina
aud steaming apparatus on quite an exten,
sive scale, everything indicating high de.
gree of order and economy.
The native Hungarian cattle are of light
dun color, III shape and appearance much
like our Texan cattle, with like immense
horns. AS we came down the Danube we
passed very many large droves of them,
drinking or bathing at the shores. They
were very interesting IN appearance, par
ticuiariy as they are all Of s. color, in this
more resembling wild than domestic ami
mails.
Upon the farm referred TO is raised chiefly
rye an Indian corn, with Hungarian grass
and vegetables for the etock,-G W Harsh

WEAVING CoLTs.-We often when travel
ing through the country in the fall, see
colts with rough staring coat; eyes, near
ly closed, and watery matter exuding
therefrom, with q body shaped like a
squash seed, which, but few weeks before
wtllie running with the mare, were possess
ed Of sleek, shining coat, eyes bright, and
body as round rs o barrel Now the
question arises, what is The cause of this
l answer in nine cases out of ten, It is i'm
proper weaning.
Nearly every colt in q farming commun-
lty ls allowed tos9un with its mother until
about four or five months old, when to suit
the convenience of the owner, it is turned
into some distant field cut of sight, and if
possible, out'of hearing ofits mother. there
TO run and whinny, and worry, until it
brings upon itself fever which weakens
the constitution, closes the pores of the
akin, and, i'll brief, the whole organs of di-
gestiOn become more or less diseased All
OF this can be avoided by q little care in
weaning..
My way of weaning is this: When my
colt is four and q half CT five months old, I
put strong leather halter upon him and
place him in q stalls and put his mother in
an adjoining stall with partition between
so arranged that they can see each other,
md if possible, get their heads together.
The first day let the colt nurse twice;
the next two days once. feed the mare
upon dry hay and dry feed, and about half
milk her two or three times day until dry.
The colt [ feed upon new-mown grass or
fine clover hay, and give him pint of oats
twice day, and in about two weeks [ have
my colt weaned, and my mare dry, with my
colt looking as fine as ever. When he is
one year old he has as much growth and
development Of muscle as one two years
Old Weaned in the first described manner.
When the mare becomes dry, colt and
mare may be turned out together again in
oasture.-G D. Sn1eQd in Prairie FnTnler.
