Care Of Harness

During the busy season harness is often
neglected, and, for want of cleaning, be-
comes coated with dust, which causes it
to dry and become cracked. 1t is then
on the road to ruin. To save it, it should
be taken apart, every buckle should be
unloosed, and it should be thoroughly
cleansed with warm warter and soap. fla
thorough sponging does not free it from
the glutinous coating derived from former
greasings with improper materials, weak
lye of wood ashes, or a solution of borax
or soda,ma be used, until the old grease
is all removed Then wipe the surface,
and while the harness is still damp, coat
it with sweet oil until no more is absorb
ed. The oil will displace the water,
thoroughly penetrating the substance of
the leather. 1t will thus be kept pliable.
Harness should not be oiled when it is
dusty or unclean always wash it previ-
ously, as above directed For fine har-
ness, an excellent dressing is made with
s OF. beeswax melted, into which is stirred
? OF. ivory black, l OF. Prussian blue
ground in oil, l o. oil Of turpentine, and
or of copal varnish. This is made into
balls. 1t should be applied with stiff
brush and the harness polished with a
soft cloth No hair or dirt will stick to
this, and if expense be no object, work
ing horses may be made to look we'll

Weaning and Care Of Colts.

When colts are weaned, they should
never be put with older animals Of their
own species few together, with an
abundance of room, will do best, and the
attention should be from one person who
has sense enough to discover any little
matter going amiss before it is serious, or,
in other words, he should have the gump-
ton to prevent every ailment horsefesh
is heir to, instead Of waiting to cure it
For instance, there may be a colt among
several which is so shy and nervous that
he Is afraid to stand up and eat with the
others, till his share is nearly consumed.
There may be another naturally very slow
in masticating, which would lose much Of
his share, and thus these animals would
pine away, for if enough was given so that
there would be more than the boldest
would eat, it would still be wrong, as
there would be cloying of the fast-eat-
ers.
This matter could easily be remedied
by separation and other preventions adopt
ed in time to meet every contingency, but
in no succession undertaking of horse
drugs or resort to quackery.
| will briefly add that the maia hinis
to be given, are to make the colts fat
against winter, by extra food, to the mare
as well as the colt, if it cannot be done
without, and do not hurry about weaDiDg,
as by feeding the mare well she will not
be injured. Give bran, oats, and corn
too, if you like, but not more than one
third of the latter in proportion to the
bran, and DO corn unless the colts run
out in the field. The whole drys, for the
saliva is the natural fluid to assist in the
digestion, aud the loss of it with the bran,
&c, by mixing water with it, is partly
the cause of the gaunt frames one so fire.

Save the COrnfnd6nr.


We have long been of the opinion that
there was not that attention paid to the
curing and saving of the cornfodder that
its value demanded. Every good farmer
must know that cattle eat it greediy
through the winter, and if cut and steam
ed it is as good for them as the best hay
and really more milk producing.
Where is the necessity of allowing is
to remain in shocks until the middle or
end of November. Corn should not be
cut down until the stalks are dying and
the grain is pretty hard, and then it should
remain no longer in the field than is
absolutely necessary for the drying of the
grain. 1t should be husked as early as
possible, and the fodder tied up in
bundles and either carefully stacked in
sheds
1t is well known, too that horses prefer
it to the best hay; also that the blades
are especially sought for TO feed racing
animals, Strengthening their wind and
bottom beyond any other food. 1t is
besides wholesome provender and helps
most benefcially in making the winters
supply of hay hold out till late in the
spring, with the addition of roots, which
every farmer, who shrewdly looks to the
main chance ought to cultivate for feed
ing in the early part.

Storing Potatoes

The following method of storing pota-
toes, recommended by DR.. Il. Moisno, is
a simple and sure way of preserving them
from rot When mature, the potatoes are
dug and allowed to dry, and then put
into pits that are lined with straw. Az
they are deposited in the pit, either
charcoal powder, gypsum, or the ashes cf
coal OF wood, should be freely scattered
among them in quantity sufficient to Gll
up all interstices. They should be pro-
tected from tne action of direct sunlight,
and after few days covered with two, or
what is better, four feet of soil care be-
| ing taken that the ground about the pits
| is efectually drained
