HONEST Old Horace in his meanderings
from New York to Louisville and from
Louisville back to New York, has spoken
at every railroad station where he could
get dozen persons to listen to him. He no
doubt feels better. After the escape of so
much "buncombe, 1T would be surprising
if the patient did not feel better. 1t
would be cruel to wish the old man any
personal harm, therefore we trust that he
feels sure of having gained votes in this
electioneering tour. No one else believes
he has, but if he should share the general
opinion, he would be unhappy, and no
one desires this. Pleasant dreams, old man
your illusions, will be dispelled soon
enough.

Keep the Cattle Growing.

The most successful breeders of horses,
cattle, sheep, or swine know from expert
ence that although they may possess the
best breeding animals, they will not be
successful in producing superior stock if a
continuous growth of the young animals is
not kept up. In order to begin in time at
this indispensable preparation for success,
the brood mares, cows, ewes, and sows are
most carefully and suitably fed while with
young, and as soon as the young animals
make their appearance, they are taken the
greatest care of, the dams being suitably
fed while sucking, and when the young
ones are weaned, they are not supposed to
want for food or drink single hour.
BY this means continuous or rapid
growth is kept up, and the animals attain a
large size and heavy weight at an early
age. When breeding animals are not prop
erly fed and comfortably sheltered in win
ter, the bad effect of such treatment is not
confined tC their own want of condition
it is shared by their progeny, and can new
er be remedied. When young stock are
not fed well and comfortably sheltered in
winter, their growth becomes s.unted, and
no subsequent amount of treatment can
repair the damage. Young animals may
suffer for want of proper provender in
summer and autumn, as wellas in winter,
and when this happens it stops continu-
Gus growth, and prevents ultimate success
in the object of the breeder Working

Taking on. the Hides of Animals.

A leather worker gives the following di-
rections in the Canada Farmer B" We sup
pose the animal dead and placed on its
back; the operator, by thrusting his knife
point foremost and edge up, makes slit
the entire length of the carcass from the
line of the navel to the vent. Let him now
stand by its side, with his face looking the
way the head lies, and taking the forefoot
in his left hand, run the point of his knife
in the line of the cleft of the foot and cap of
the knee, up the front of the leg and into
the central slit of its bosom. For the hind
leg, having reversed his position, let the
slit be made in the point of the heel, over
the centre of the cap of the hook down the
back of the ham into the central slip. In
this way the hide when spread out will
have 4 square form without long projec-
tions, and consequent deep intentions OF

Bermuda Grass.

This grass, although considered excel
lent for pasture in some portions of the
South, is nevertheless very tenacious of
life, and propagates extensively by its
roots or stolons, and is exceedingly diff
cult to kill. The editor of the RurdL ALd-
6onlidn says, however, that it cab be
killed thus In the fall-say in October or
Noyember-brea up the ground thor
oughly, turning under the sod deeply,
using for the purpose a good two-horse
turn-plough, with sharp coulter at
tached. In this condition let it lie during
the winter. BY spring the sod will be
pretty well rotted, when plough again and
sow with oats, Hungarian grass, peas or
any other crop that will grow quickly and
shade the ground. This crop will mature
and come off in June. AS soon as re-
moved, turn under the stubble deeply and
sow peas broadcast. They will come up
quickly, grow off rapidly and shade the
ground completely before the bermuda
can get started, and keep it shaded the
balance of the summer. In the fall after
gathering the crop of peas, plough again
thoroughly, turning in deeply all the
weeds, grass, ETC., and let it remain until
spring, when the ground will be in fine
condition for any crop that it may be
desirable to plant, and no Bermuda to
trouble

How to Fit Collars TO Horses shoulders


1t is very important to have collar fit
nicely and snugly to the shoulders of the
horse. 1t enables him to work with a great
deal more ease and to apply great deal
more strength. 1t prevents CALLING and
wounding, as the friction is avoided. Col
lars are so made, or should be SO made, as
to throw the chief force on the lower part
of the shoulder. The horse can apply but
little strength on the upper part, and for
this reason breast collars are coming great
ly into vogue, as the strength is eXerted on
the lower part of the shoulder. But we
started out to tell our readers how to make
a new collar fit the shoulder of the horse.
The collar should be purchased of the prop
er size just before putting it on the first
time, immense it in water, letting itremain
about a minute, and Immediately put it
on the horse, being careful to have the
names so adjusted at the top and bottom as
to fit theshoulder, and then put the horse
to work. d. The collar, by being wet, will
adapt itself to the shoulder, and should dry
on the horse. When taken off it should be
left in the same shape it occupied on the
horse, and ever after that you will have a
snug-fitting collar and no wounds JaUey

The greatest drawback to the business of
wool growing, or sheep husbAndry ia any
form, is the devpstationof the sheep ilocks
by sneaking dogs, which come upon them
when least expected hnd in a single night
so destroy and denaofalize flock as often
to take the entire profits of years growth
out of it, .ifnot more than this.-,.s--.--.s..
Shcep-killing dogs are generally great
towards until they become eager in the
chase of timid flock. The cunning of
these. ours, both in planning their thieyish
work and in concealing the evidence
against themselves, is a thing quite re-
markable, as they usually go long way
from home to find their prey, and after the
mischief is done they return in season and
put on such a look OF innocence that a per-
son would hardly suspect they had been
engaged in the bloody work and often
their guilt can only he proven by finding
shreds of wool between their teeth. Death
without benefit of clergy is the only effect
i've punishment of these convicted felons.
But the preservation of the sheep flocks
from marauding dogs must lie mainly in
prevention before the act rather than in
vengeance after the mischief is done and
we know of no means so effective in the
prevention of the mischief as the use of O
good number of bells upon the sheep. The
value of a single sheep would purchase
quite a number of bells, so that this sort of
protection is comparatively cheap one, as
the bells once purchased would last life
time. The bells should be of the noisy,
rattle-tebang kind, not little tinkling
things, full of pastoral, poetic melodies
A mistake is often made by putting bells
only on the largest, leading sheep of the
flock; some bells should be on such sheep,
of course, as they can lead off and make
prodigious noise in stampede; but bells
Should also be put upOn the weak and slow
ones of the flock, whose legs cannot carry
them so fast in a race for dear life, as the
noise they make would be some protection
against the enemy which came upon the
rear to catch the belated fugitives.-Rurdl
