FARM CHATS, NO. n.
Sutton, VI.

Horses ought now TO be in good working
condition, but gratitude towards these noble
creatures should not induce the farmer to
stall feed them. The butcher wants thick
mea. and plenty Of fat in cattle and sheep,
but the plOwman wants strong muscle, spirit
and endurance in his team.
The feed and care Of stock should be con-
sstent with the ultimate purpose they are to
serve. Fat horses, that have been wIntered
mostly IN the stable, without much exercise,
are not fit for hard work at the opening Of
spring, aud prolific source of disease is the
hard work they are made to do when they
are not in proper condition, Roots, espe-
cially swedes, are very beneficial to the
farmers horses. In the absence Of roots,
bran wet with plenty of warm water may be
a partial substitute. Their stalls should be
cleaned we'll every day, aud we'll bedded
with litter or straw at night, They should
be supplied with salt, lump of which
should always be in the managers. Good
grooming at least twice every day is very
beneficial to tho work horse. The curry

of use at this season of the year, but should
be we'll handled over the horse before aud

DESCRIPTION OF A SOUTH

against the fly the eyes full and bright
but not prominent the orbs of the eye--the

The neck should be of medium length, thin
toward the head but enIarging toward the
shoulders, where it should be broad and high
and straight in its whole course, above and
below.

projecting forward between the fore
legs, indicating constitution 10

shoulders should DO on leEel with the back,

MAeooTs AS POULTRY FOOD.

The novel plan Of breeding maggots to
feed TO poultry has been in successful opera
tian in Bohemia for two or three seasons. 1t
is said that young turkeys prefer this food to
any other. Directions: Dig nine pits four
feet deep, smaller if desired line bottom
aud sides with brick, 80 that the maggots
cannot crawl out nor the pit cave in. For
nine successive days fill one of these pits in
the following manner: First, cover the bot
tom three inches thick with cut straw; SEQ
ond, one course of horse, pigeon or chicken
manure two inches; third, one inch of q
mash made from yeast potatoes, aud Indian
meal fourth and last, one course Of loose,
damp soil one and a half inches thick.
Cover the whole with light roof to keep
the sun and rain of, but open to admit the
common muck fly, one of which is capable
of producing, according to natural history,
Eve hundred millions Of eggs in one summer.
The fly will deposit its eggs in the pitt which,
after the expiration of nine days, will be
filled with maggots. The contents Of one
pit will keep three Thousand chickens for
one day, giving three meals per day. To
winter pheasants or chickens on the same
food, make more pits, let the maggOts trans
form into Larvae, and fill the same into bar
rels.-Poulfry World

ABORTION IN cows.

This complaint or disease as it is some
times called which has become contagious
in localities, is far from being mysterious or
uneKpainable, but is traceahle from cause
TO effect. 1t is not an epidemic but one
which is liable TO break out in dairy, and
taken on by one or more and sometimes all

it telegrAphed to them through their then
peculiarly sensitive organization for ani-
mails are sensitive in advanced stages of gss-
tation, and through their senses Of hearing

the complaint is received as by fright, aud
terror stricken, the cOntagion is spread, but
not beyond hearing, seeing or smelling dis
tance.
1t may be caused as in the case Of dairy
not far from this where eighty per cent Of
COWS aborted but did not appear in any
other case near, aud by removing what
believe to have been the cause it failed to
appear the next year.
The cause was in the stable floor, together
with stanchion confinement. The floor or
drop on which the COWS stood was too steep
or santing, having fall of four inches in
the length OF COW, which, together with the
aSor being toe smooth surface, caused the
COWS to slip or fall upon their knees and
sometimes they mere in danger Of being cast
in reaching for their food. This slant of the
floor caused the hind part of the COW to be
the lowest, aud the weight of her burden 70
tall behind its center or natural position,

Stock Raising.
SHEEP EATING THEIR WOOL.

Instances of sheep eating their own wool
are quite common, especially during the lat
ter part Of the winter and early in the
spring Some have thought the habit result
ed from the presence of small parasites, as
minute as the red spider of some Towering
plants which produced an irritation, and to
allay this the sheep acquired the habit of
biting its own skin and thereby eating its
own wool. 1t is generally believed that the
habit is analogous to that Of hens eating
their egg shells, and the abnormal appetite
of cows for old bones, wooden rags, &c, and
is caused by an exhaustion Of the phosphate
in the soil. Old pastures and fields that
have long been cropped are deficient in these
elements, hence the absence of them in feed
and consequent want of them by animals.
AS a preventive, mix a small quantity Of
bone meal, and give them an occasional feed.
Sulphur also has been found TO be prevent
i've Of the habit, and many farmers keep
their stock constantly supplied with it. 1t
no doubt assists in giving healthy tone to
the system.-Maine Farmer.

BEST BREED OF CHICKENS.

What is the best breed Of poultry for the
general farmer 2" is the question asked by
correspondent in Wayne County, ILL.,, and
taking it for granted he means to refer to
chickens and not to poultry in gen.
eral, we answer, that by general consent
the Light Brahma is conceded to be the best
breed for general purposes. We can make
this statement without fear Of being charged
with favOritism toward the particular breed
mentioned the Brahma being so well
known, and with few exceptions so highly
esteemed by every one that the most ardent
admirers of other valuable breeds cannot con-
strue our words as at all disparaging to their
own iavOrites
1t is, however, very doubtful whether any
pure breed of chickens would prove to the
general farmer more profitable than crosses
of these judiciously made on more common
fowls. Chickens that are really pure bred
are, like pure bred cattle and pigs, too val
liable as imDrovers Of the common stock OF
the country, to admit of their being used to
any great extent for table purposes. 1t has
been said that but few Of the people Of even
this great cattle and hog raising state Of
Illinois have ever tasted thoroughbred Short
horn beef, or genuine Berkshire pork,
Equally true is it of pure bred poultry, that
but little Of it finds It's way to market

"HoLsTEIN" OR "DUTcH"2

Prof G. j. HeDgeveld of the Royal Ma
tional Veterinary College at Utrecht, whose
attention had been called by the American
Holstein Herd Book TO this question of
name, says, in an article prepared for the
Dutch Agricultural Gazette the thesis
so arbitrarily adopted and set forth by the
Herd Book, that the large black aud white
cattle imported into North America from
North Holland, have undoubtedly descended
from the original stock of HolstsiD, requires
a most decided denial" He very clearly
shows the Holstein races to have sprung
from Dutch cattle carried into Schleswig by
Dutch emigrants. Further, he says "the
name Of Hostein is a local and not a COL
lective name. and may not be given to cattle
bought in North Holland to do so is to
underrate the Dutch cattle race" and
adds this pertinent query "If cattle of the
genuine (Dutch) breed are bought lin Hol-
land), imported elsewhere and there bred,
