Travels Of the Horse Malady.

Reports from all parts OF the country would
seem to confirm the view that in most cases the
horse dstemp Or has period OF nine or ten ds VS.:
that Its type is mild, and that 1t speedily dissr-
pears under good treatment and care, especially
II the horses are laid up during sickness. The
milder form of the disease in private stables is
attributed in good part to the perfect rest en-
joyed 10y the horse. They are approaching the
crisis OF the disease in Baltimore. YESTERDAY
the streets were almost deserted by vehicles: no
cars were running, and all the COMPANIES will
continue the Suspension through tO-day To
the northward the Melady is abating, except in
Philadelphia. where 1t is increasing. An effort
made yesterday to run dummies ON the city
tracks was unsuccessful; the tracks net being
sultaD Tue engines constantly Jumped. Few
OF no cars were run. The Union fine, with
tracks making n gTidiTon over the whole CITY,
announces that no cars will be run to- dav
lie hrst fatal case occurred there SATURDAY.
The oLease is rapidly abating in New York,
and OF Saturday Broadway presented the usu al
appearances. The car lines are fast resuminp
travel. The mortality in horses, however con-
unues. NO cars were run in Brooklyn yester-
day, where the horses still suffer severely,
though the distemper is abGtiBg. A marked
Involvement is reported in Boston and also in
Pittsburg. During Saturday the disease con-
unued unahated In Albany and Chicago, in
creased in Cleveland, and appeared IN Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and in Richmond and Petersburg,
urday night, and not q public conveyance was
to be seen yesterday. In Albany the FIRE COM
mfssioners have appealed to citizens to draw the
steamers in case OF fire. Nine-tenths OF the
horses in fitusville, Pa. have the disease. II
has also made its appearance IN several places
in DevOnshfre, England, and is especially &c we're
in Tiyerton and its vicinity. = :"

Management of Manure in Winter.

Where all the stock is kept in one large
barn. with a manurc.cclar underneath there
is little difficulty in managing the manure
especially If there Is a large tank for the spare

6cicnt ventilation so hat no deicterious gases
shall penetrate to the hay or cattle above,
and 10 use enough material to keep the ma'
uure from getting too wet.
Ga farms where considerable straw aud corn
stalks are used and where the manure is kept
out of door-. the main point Is to get the ma
uure into a compact heap. Where the manure
from tbc cow.stubics or pigpens Is thrown
out iuto o small heap by the door 10 freezes
through and 80 fermentation takes place un'i

FallnnIng MIlcn Cow!


In recent conversation with an iutollig Of
farmer, we learned that his practice Of man.
aging his cows, especially his iarrow ones,
ia winter was to feed for beef, while the,
were giving milk 10 this way he though
he got pay in milk for all il cost to fattcu
the animals, giving him their increased value
for profit For instance, he takes Grrow
COW in the fall or carly winter aud commence
feeding her the same as it she was intended
only for beeI. This he keeps up through tn,
winter, and she not only puts on fat, but give,
double the milk that could be obtained on
ordinary Keeping Not ouly does She give Il
good mess, but IL is rich. The milk is CON
sidered fully equal in value to the cost OF
keeping the COW. Now mark the result In.
stead OF her being thin and of very smal
selling value in the spring, she is ready for
the butcher at the time Of year when beef
generally brings the highest prices
1t occurred to US that this was worth max,
ing a note Of, which we have nccording,
done Is not the practice of this man u GOOD
one to adopt, and follow 1t certainly seem,
SO. As great many farmers will be feeding
more or less grain the coming winter, would
1t not be a good plan to try the experiment

Ia view Of the rapidly extending Import
nee Of the dairy interests 10 New York State,
through the establishment of cheese factories
nd creameres, it would be well &c her farm
RS would study the matter Of improving She
rlk-yieldiug qualities of their COWS.
A good foundation already exists IN the
ative breed Of cattle, a hardy race, well
dapted to stand tolerably rough usage in
inter, and generally fair mixers. We be-
ieve that by careful selection aud the Use Of
God bulls from milking family Of Short.
orns, race Of cattle might be established
hat would combine milking with feeding pro-
ensities. After one or two crosses Of Short
orn, Ayrshire blood might be infused through
single cross in order to give lorger milk
ecreiion A very mistaken notion prevails
hat small COWS aud small consumers Of grass
re most profitable for the dairy Such is NOT
he case. A good dairy COW must have large
igestive powers as the more food She can
nusume during the grass season, the greater
he amount Of milk she can manufacture from
nat food, other things being equal. Hence.
trge-frumed cows, with capacious stomachs,
will usually be found large yielders of milk.
We believe q great mistake will be made Il
airymen should be led away by the prevail
g fashion to favor the Introduction of Jersey
God into ,beir herds. IL would result iu
iducing th4 size aud feeding qualities, and
ufecbling ne constitution, without any cor.
spending gain in the way Of additional milk.
g value True we might have richer milk
r. butter-makiug. bat not for cheese TIL,
Iilk OF the Ayrshire COW, Tia, ugh somewhat
,cking in richness for buuer-making, is fall
t casein, aud therefore valuable to the cheese
naker. The finest and best dairy COWS w,
yer saw were obtained by cross of Ayrshir,
u first class native cows, followed by a eros
Short-horn, the result being cows having
'alf-Short-horn to a quarter each OF Ayrshir
nd native. They were splendid mixers, nn'

Now that chickens raised the past season

the quantity Of grain that will be disposed
of by a large flock OF young fowls is astoush-

Indian corn. Give cooked and raw, whole.
ground fine, aud GROUND coarse, for the sake
Of change. 1t is the cheapest thing that eau
be bought generally speaking, The amount
Of nulriment obtained in it considered. But
TO give nothing but corn would be a mistake.
1t should predominant for economys sake,
but oats, buokwheat, wheat, screenings, boil.
