Our correspondent, &c. W. IT," Of Della.

respect to the watering of cattle in winter.
He says: "Many farmers water their stock
from wells, and In the winter TIME they
experience considerable difficulty by the
accumulation of ice around the trough.
Many times cattle, even though very dry,
will go away without drinking rather than
venture on such slippery place to get
water: 1 have very simple and cheap
remedy: Take an armful or two of straw,
scatter it over the ice, and sprinkle over
it some water, which soon freezes fast,
and the remedy is complete. Western

Raising Ciovet. Seed.

HAVING had some experience in clover
raising, will say for the benefit of any
who may be interested in the subject, that
I believe 1t produces more milk than
either timothy or corn fodder, and at the
same time l find that land improves by
frequently being seeded to clover. As to
whether plaster is indispensable, have
always used it, and with varied results
The present season had twenty acres of
clover which had intended for seed, and
to which l applied about May goth, 100
lbs. of plaster per acre. On examining
the heads this fall, l found that very few
of them had seed; in fact, do not think
the twenty acres would have produced
five bushels, and / abandoned the idea of
cutting It for seed, and put a part in for
feeding. and pastured the remainder. On
an adjoining farm saw some clover well
filed with seed where NO plaster had been
used. There are also good farmers who
will not use plaster, as they believe it ex-
hausts the soil; most, however, including
myself, believe in the use Of it, especial
ly in growing clover where it is not liable
to lodge.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

Raising . Crop Of Carrots.

Every person who cultivates only few
acres of ground should raise q few hun
dred bushels of carrots. Such roots are
excellent for stock of all kinds. A few
quarts fed daily, in connection with grain
or cut food feed, will promote the health
of horse Ear better than oats alone
Carrots contain an acid called pectine,
the gelatinizing principle of certain vege-
tables, which, acting upon the contents
of the animals stomach, greatly assists
the process of digestion. Hence carrots
are valued very highly as food for horses
ON the city stage and railroad lines, and
the healthy appearance and sleek coats of
their horses are due toihe use Of this
vegetable as much as to the efficient
grooming which they daily receive.
When fed on grain and hay alone horses
do not generally digest their food we'll,
much Of it'being v0ided in awhole stite.
By the use Of carrots this difficulty is en-
tirely obviated. From 600 to 800 bushels
of carrots can be easily raised on an acre,
and we have known 1000 bushels to be
Produced on a good soil by manuring

Of cultivation is to throw the land into
ridges two feet apart with double mould

these ridges with an iron tooth rake. All
Jumps, stones, roots and grass will thus
be raked into the forrows, and mellow
seed bed left for the easy passage of the
seed drill. If 800 pounds of per-phos-
plate are scattered along the ridges he

into the soil by the seed drill, and materi.
