Grant and Richardson as Financiers.

Neither Grant nor his Secretary of the
Treasury gave the heavy financiers who
waited on them a profound impression of
their financial knowledge. One of them
tells me that Grant seemed to have hardly
any idea of what they were talking about
and though he hardly said anything, he
never opened his mouth without showing
how obscure the mysteries offinance were
to his understanding. las for Richard

When body of agitated bankers, who
felt the immediate perils of the situation,
were imploring him to devise or consider
some policy by which the banking sys-
tenn might be temporarily relieved, he re-
piled by some long winded remarks about
the boundless resources of this country :;
said that our population was greater than
that of France, which has got out of her
financial difficulties, and was about to re-

1t used to be thought that, however dry
the pasture, or whatever the deficiency in
water, sheep and horses could get along !;
and it is undoubtedly true that not only
sheep and horses, but even cattle will live
for long time in such pasture, provided
they are allowed to remain there night and
day, and have shade to retire to when the
sun is hot. 1t will also be observed that,
at such times, animals feed almost exclu-
sively at night, or when the grass is wet
with dew or rain.
IT. however. mich cows, mares with
foals, or ewes with lambs are kept thus,
the shrinkage in milk, and consequent i'll
condition of the young, is quickly appar
ent. For this reason, in seasons of drouth
stock does not gain flesh, and as "A conse-
quence serious disaster is apt to overtakc
the animals during The succeeding winter.
The more succulcnt the pasture the less
water the animals will drink This is
especially noticeable in sheep; unless
heated by driving, or running, they take
but little water nj II time, but this little is
Just as necessary to the animal economy
as though it were taken at longer inter
walls and in larger comparative quantities
at time as is the case with cattle. Grass.
when young and fun of sap, contains
about eighty to eighty five per cent. of
moisture, but our prairie rgasscs, when
approaching maturity, contain not more
than sixty or seventy per cent. anG this
constantly grows less and less until it is
entirely dry. Hence the greater necessity
of furnishing water on prairie or other
dry pastures han when the grass is more
succulcnt.

water on flock of sheep, together with
the English idea of supplying the rem

at is great mistake, and the cause of
much suffering and loss, not to supply
sheep with water, especially milk giving

imais wasted and were sent to Chelmsford
market in evil condition, the owners be
ing ignorant of the cause. The dealer
who bought them for Il song first exam

they must have the rot or jaundice; but
seeing all right so far, he found that a sup
ply of water was the only restorative re

tains seventy per cent. of moisture, but
when dried very much less. The same re
mark holds good for clovers, etc. When
we give cake, corn, maltcombs, bran, ETC.
which we always do, it becomes absolute
1y necessary to provide water, or the ami
mails will not thrive. Give them the OPP
portunity of judging for themselves by
an always available supply, and they will
exercise a proper discretion in the matter
An iron water cart is on most farms an in
dispensable requisite. When food is too
wet and sloppy dry cotton-cake or gram
is good and profitable regulator. Tur
nips and mangolds are disproportionately
watcry as food for animals; hence the
losses occasioned by them, especially
with breeding sheep. They contain fully
nine pints of water to one pint of dry food
Ninety per cent. of water is too much;
siXty-ti to seventy-six per cent. in pas
ture grass is the more natural and proper
proportion. The human or animal frame
has seventy-five per cent of water, just as
good grass has. Meat is dear as
food, because it contains, in the lean por
tions. seventy-six per cent. of water. No
wonder that bread and cheese are found
far more economical Western Rural.
