and, generally speaking, where this ad-
vantage has been enjoyed, the cattle look
well. It is advised to separate unthrifts
animals from the rest, and nurse them up
before the cold weather comes on. An
unthrifty animal is known by its hard,
rough hide, and the woe-begone expression
Of its face. Its character is apparent to
the touch Of the fingers. Feed no poor
animal over winter. Keep the best for
breeding, and don't be tempted to sell them
of and keep the poor ones. Beware,
however, Of suddenly enriching the food
Of poor animals. This should be done
gradually. The digestive organs are
closely related to the blood and life Of the
animal Blood diseases certainly follow
sudden changes Of the feed, aud none are
more rapidly fatal in their effects.

FALL MATURING.

No matter how susceptible manure is to
fermentation, no matter whether it is fresh,
heated up strongly, well rotted, or an old
compost, if it is spread out thinly on the
feld, all fermentation is speedily checked,
just as when mass Of lighted Goals is
scattered out over the ground, the glow
ceases, the combustion declines, and even
in the hottest summer day the FIRE is soon
extinguished. II this spreading is done
in the cool Of autumn, and gentle rain
follows, all the elements Of the manure that
can suffer loss-the ammonia, potash, etc,
dissolve and sink into the soil But they
can not go fur down unless we have
manfred gravel bed or sand pit. On
land fit for farmer to handle, whether
natural loam or sand or clay, subdued to
proper texture. the descent of fertilizing
matter is arrested, as already mentioned by
the beautiful chemistry Of soil absorption,
the slowly descending water is filtered by
the soil Of nearly all ii took from the
manure, and the real feeding qualities Of
the top dressing are distributed uniformly
throughout the surface soil IN way no
tillage can begin to initiate. Loss is re-
duced to its minimum, and the application
is as perfect in style as in cost If, on
the contrary, the manure is spread out in
hot weather, and lies exposed some days
to dry winds, the ammonia it contains, in
the form Of carbonate, viii be carried off
into the atmosphere; but this loss is not
50 great as is often supposed. The guam
tity of volatile ammonia that can be got
out Of the stable manure by this exposure
s certainly not greater than exists in It,

CATTLE FEEDING.-The York, Pa,
Press says Frederick Stallman, Of this bo-
rough, and Lewis Myers, of Baltimore,
two well known cattle dealers, are engaged
in feeding large number Of cattle, which
they propose putting into market next
spring While in Baltimore last week We
visited their stables, situated in Canton,
on the banks Of the Harbor, opposite Fort
McHenry. The stables consist of square
frame building, 24O each way, in which
they have confined eight hundred and
eighty-two head Of cattle, There are
eighteen stalls or rows, as they term them,
with troughs running the full length Of
the building. In each Of these rows are
chained forty-nine head of cattle, and to
stand in the midst Of them and look over
this vast multitude Of the animal creation.

The economy Of keeping few sheep
on every farm devoted to mixed husband
y. IS apparent 70 any one giving the sub
jeet careful consideration Asscavengefs
they viii, on many farms, pay handsome
interest on their first eost--not taking
into account their yield Of fleece aud
lambs Much Of the straw and stalks
about the barn yard, the growth in the
fence-corners aud other out-of-the-way
places, win be kept clean and slightly by a
few sheep, with very little trouble and no
expense to their owners
As regards vegetation, the sheep may
be said to be omnivorous- goat is its
only peer--and very few Of the most
troublesome weeds and grasses can long
withstand its short and persistent clipping.
In clearing out and subduing timber pas
lures they are invaluable. If turned in
when the young shoots are still succulent,
nothing within their reach will escape
them. They can be turned into the stub
blefeld after harvest, and not only thus
save every stray head Of grain, but leave
the field clear of weeds and in the best
possible condition for the plow. With
equally good results they can be herded
through field Of standing corn after the
growth of grass and weeds is well under
way. This is especially advantageous
where the very common course is pursued
of sowing wheat in standing corn. True,
now and then a broken or bent stalk falls
a prey, but the then advantages of all
and sunlight to the too long shaded ground
will be found to compensate many fold fol
these light losses. In short sheep cannot
be omitted from the farm economy with
out loss to the farmer who thus over
looks their merits.
