STOCK on THE FARM.

At a recent meeting of the Illinois
Wood Growers Association, Mr.. w. c.
FIagg. well known As one of The leading
argiculturists Of the State, spoke as fol-
lows:
Il think it is demonstrable az gener-
al proposition, true of nearly all kinds
of farming, that nearly every kind of
domestic animal, up to certain limit,
can he kept more profitably than it can
be dispensed with, by all farmers. 1t
can be kept, 50 to speak, without any
expense beyond personal care, because
it feeds upon products that would other
wise be wasted or sold at a low price.
Take cattle, and we know that through
out Central Illinois a considerable body
of farmers have been selling their corn
stalks, after the corn is gathered, at
such low price as to make the keeping
of stock cattle through the winter cost
less than their summer pasturage. We
know that throughout the State large
that might be made to pay from two to
five dollars ton as feed for cattle and
horses. During the winter of 1S74-75,
as / was informed, in one portion of
Missouri, where the wheat crop had been
exceptionally good, the horses and
other stock were sold at very low prices,
tafr bal e.,
them. The farmers of that region had
not stacked their straw. Your own ex-
perience and observation will show you,
that in all parts of our State great guam
titles Of farm products that should go to
feed and grow animals on the farm are
burnt, wasted, or sold at low rates.
This is still more true of sheep. The
sheep, as we all know, is more general
feeder than any other domestic animal,
except the goat, and eats nearly every
vegetable product with good relish, in
cluding, lam sorry to say, in the case of
certain old and wiser sheep, apple bark
on ndturel, from the tree, taken, perhaps,
as tonic. Weeds are generally eaten
as readily as the grasses. OF the weeds
more common with me, they seem to
absolutely refuse the horse nettle and
the poke weed, aud do not quite like the
jamestown weed and Indian mallow,
although they browse both good deal
This taste extends to dried weeds found
in hay or straw, and makes them prac-
tically omnivorous of vegetable matter.
This general taste makes the sheep a
very useful animal in utilizing otherwise
waste products on the farm. He browses
the hazel brush, and kills out the wild
grasses for the emigrant; he gets abund- |
ant food from the scattered grain and
springing weeds of the grain stubble; he |
cleans out the late springing weeds and |
strips off the lower blades among the
ripening corn. He is good scavenger
of weeds and fallen apples in the ORCH |
ard, and in doing all this he is making |
mutton and wool out of weeds and /
waste. The cost OF keeping, up to the
point where all waste matter is consum-
ed, consists only in the incidental ex-
penses, and tie returns are manure,
wool, and increase.

HORSE STABLE FLooRs.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph says that the long
debated question, as to the best material
for stable floors, is being revived. A
clay floor was held out for years, and
such was the earnestness of its advo-
Gates and the many arguments brought
to bear upon it, that we were induced
some fifteen or twenty years ago TO try
it. In three or four months we had the
planks back again, being severely salts
fed of the disadvantages of clay for
horses. Our present floor of plank is
simply inclined little from front to
rear, where the usual gutter is made to
carry off the liquid weddings.
We do not believe in sand, coal ashes
saw-dust, asphaltum, flags, cobble-
stones, or any of these modern devices
to injure horses. Thus far we have
never noticed that this little inclination
was in any way injurious; and we doubt
whether the wooden grating placed over
the planking would be advisable on the
ground that the animal would be no
more comfortable, while this movable
grating on second floor might lead to
accidents. When person can keep
horses In good, sound, healthy condition
for from five TO seven years, as We have
done on a carefully constructed plank
flooring, inclining a little to the rear, it
is Just as well to be satisfied with it.

SCOTTISH HORSES.

An English writer in recent article
on Scotch and English farming, says of
the Clydesdale horses:
although Scotch farmers generally
have something 10 learn from their Eug-
lish brethren in the management of cat
tie and sheep and require to improve
considerably in the selection and style
of their hacks and harness horses, they
stand almost unrivalled in the breeding
and management of their cart horses.
There is no better farmers horse than
the Clydesdale. He has the power in
the right place: he can move off smartly
with two tons behind him; he walks
four miles an hour; trots, if need be,
seven or eight; is active and hardy; his
feet are sound and good, and Messrs.
Pickford and Others, who use many
horses in large towns, assure me that no
horses stand the work of the stones like
the Clydesdale, and none bear up so
well against the rough usage and buff
fetlng 10 which these big, willing van
horses are so often subjected. The
heaviest and most valuable CIydesdales
are bred generally within about % miles
of Glasgow; their style and usefulness
have of late years been improved by
breeding them with finer and less hair
about the legs. 1t is tine bay of the
ClydesdaIes that enables the Scotch far
mer to overtake his work with SO few
horses. With nearly double the area of
arabic land, tlIe agricultural returns
show that in Scotland there are 9, in
England AZ horses per 100 acres. Three
horses are considered amply sufficient TO
work 100 acres of medium land under
four or five course rotation. The horses
are invariably worked in pairs, plow an
acre day and are used in single and
double carts. Wagons are unknown in
Scotland"

How TO ExTINGUIsH LAMPS WITH
CHIMNKYs.-A correspondent of the
English Mechanic says: Turn the flame
up to full power, then blow a sharp puff
horizontally across the top of the funnel,
when the light will not only be extin-
guished, but there will be no after-smoke
the formerly-ignited wick will be ex-
tinguished by its own carbonic acid gas.
On leaving my office at night thus turn
up the flaming wick, and, with CRATE
full gladness that the desk Iabors OF the
day land night are over, give a side
wave of the hat past the chimney, which
draws up the flame from contact with
the wick, and the light is gone, and with
no after-smell This cannot be too
widely circulated, as read in the Times
the other day that a lady lost her life by
blowing down the chimney and thus
causing an explosion.

The Practical Farmer thinks, what
may at first sight appear perfectly evi-
dent, may upon further investigation be
found to be incorrect. Many farmer
has sold his neat and comfortable home
With view to living on the interest Of
his money. But as he did not under
stand the tricks of spectators, he soon
became insoIYent, having neither farm
nor money. IL farmer has more land
than he can cultivate profitably, he had
better sell portion of it. But let till
ers of the sod be cautious about selling
their farms and playing the speculatoI.
