quently unhealthy. This theory was
so scientific, and came from such
high authority, thatit received pretty
general credence, though'all the facts
were against it, and the theory was
based on pure supposition.
1t is even so now with the "bo-
vine abortion" Common observers,
such as myself, can see that the thing
is catching; that it does not depend
for Its occurrence on what care the
COW does, or does not, receive. We
also see that no special treatment
has yet been discovered for its pre-
vention, and we look with distrust
on those learned veterinarians who,
having failed to cure or prevent it,
try to shift the responsibility of their
failure from their own shoulders to
those of the dairymen. What we
want of the veterinarians are not
technical terms to hide ignorance,
nor the invention of score of ina
ginary causes, divided into several
classes of the same kind, but we
want method of prevention or OF
treatment that will be successful; OF
if they have none to offer we want
them to say so.
1t is probable that this, like other
epidemic contagious, will have Its
time of prevalence, and will then
cease, or so greatly diminish as to be
almost harmeless, and that time may
be quite near to us now. E. ii.

Cutting and Curing Hay.

A correspondent of the Ohio Far
mer says:
"There is no process in agriculture
in which there is greater diversity OF
opinion and practice than in cutting
and curing hay. There arc advocates
of late cutting that insist upon an in
creased value of the fodder in conse
quence. 1t is an old saying that the
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
and so, very good test of the rela-
tive value of early and late cut hay
is found in the disposition of cattle
to cat the same, together with the
condition in which it leaves them.
"In the first place, labor of all
kinds causes an increase of food cor
responding to the severity of the
labor, and according to all princi-
Piles of vegetable physiology, the
longer any variety of grass stands
after it has arrived at the state for
the formation OF seed, the sugar,
starch and gums that are contained
in the stock are to great extent
withdrawn, and what romans is
made up largely of woody fiber,
which, if not indigestible, approx,
mates to that condition; then if this
is fed to stock the additional force
required to digest the mass of fiber
would require an increased amount
of food or an impoverished condition
of the animal.
"To avoid this, cut your hay early.
1t IS far better to err in the dircc.
ton of commencing haying too soon,
rather than continuing to late"

ONLY ONE BREED OF POULTRY
Many persons think they ought to
keep several breeds of fowls; but one
breed is enough for farmers, and all
persons who keep poultry for their
own use. Young men are most in
clined to buy several breeds, but a
few years. experience generally cures
them of this propensity. One good
breed is more profitable and deal
less trouble than two or three when
kept separate. 1t will do very well
to have different breeds of hens, if
one desires to cross the fowls, but
with one breed of fowls; but to keep
several breeds IN separate yards,
without any intention to breed fowls
for sale, is not advisable. 10 those
who desire to obtain new breeds I
would say, that the statement in re-
gard to the alleged good quality of
fowls in circulars and published in
the papers cannot always be depend
ed on. l cannot in this article 60 in
to the general merits of different
breeds, but will simply say, have
nothing to do with black fowls.

Short.Horns a. Mixers.

A correspondent in National Live
Stock Journal, on the subject of
Short-horns as mixers, says:
think they ought not to be hard
to find. Ihave MIXED COWS for near
ly fifty years, and I believe that
Short-horns, as a breed, are the best
mixers of any known breed Of cattle,
and probably have the highest record.
The following records I happen to
have before me: Horace Capron
mentions, in the pedigrees of his
Short-horns, a COW named Jenny,
which gave milk in thirty successive
days from which sixty pounds of but
ter was made. Another one, named
Sally Walker, gave seven and one
half gallons of milk per day for three
months; and another one, named
Beauty, gave twenty-six quarts of
milk per day through the summer
months of ls49; and l see, by
noted breeders catalogue, that the
dam of Beauty was said to be the
best butter COW and milk COW in
America. Mr.. Kershaw reports
Durham COW, named Lilas, having a
calf at two years old, and that sum-
mer gave eighteen to twenty quarts
per day, and for five years he had to
milk her three times per day for
about three months each year. In
1857, in the months of June and
July she MIXED thirty-six quarts per
day, and made, from two days milk,
six pounds, five ounces of butter
In 1859 she MIXED 264 quarts per
day, and made PSI pounds of butter
from ten days milk. In August of
the same year, six months after calv-
ing, she gave twenty-five quarts per
day, and made oh pounds of butter
in ten days. Her feed, at the time of
trial, was grass only.
Now, if there had been rs much
pains taken to breed mixers as there
has been to see how much fat they
could be made to carry, nobody would
think of looking for any other breed
for the dairy. Short-horns and their
grades have been the choice of the
London milkmen for the last forty
years. / commenced with daugh-
ter of Beauty-mentioned by Mr..
Caplon-twenty years ago, and have
bred from her and her heifers proba-
bly, fifty cows, and never had a poor
mixer yet, and several have been
extra; and if J. Cook will visit me,
and see some of my cows MIXED, he
will he satisfied that the milking
qualities have not been bred out of
the champion Roses yet. l know
that there are some very poor mixers
among the Durhams, and so there
are among all other breeds. The
milking faculty appears to run in
families-not with cattle alone, but
with horses, swine, and sheep as well.
l mentioned to a noted Short-horn
man at Dexter Park, last year, that a
certain family of Short-horns ought
to sell for more money, as they were
noted mixers. His reply was, "That
is fault, for nobody will buy thin
COW; and these great mixers give so
much milk, that they are always
poor" I notice that those Short
horn brokers buy fat show cattle al
most exclusively.

Tho Second Crop OF Hay,

In the Country Gentleman of July
6, II. II, Tyler, of Oneida county n.
Y, gives his views on the above
subject. Having had some expert
encc in the West in the same kind of
hay business, we endorse all that
Mr.. L. claims, and even better re-
suits than he has described. But
such demands on the seasons, as al
so on the stand of grass. We should
think, if moisture continues in abun-
dance as in the past few weeks, the
meadows of tame grass might be i'm
proved by a second moving, and the
hay of each cut better quality
Mr.. r. says:
I notice in looking over your paper
of June %, that f. G. recommends
leaving the aftermath on the mead
ows for protection, claiming as a
result that 4 timothy meadow can be
made permanent. This is true, and
yet the aftermath may be. and is in
many cases, so dense rs to smother
out the finer grasses Grasses that
add very much to the quantity and
quality of the hay), and even the
timothy itself is often thinned from
the same cause. But | wish more
particularly to suggest and urge the
cutting of heavy growths of clover,
OF mixed clover and timothy, twice;
especially in such a growing season
as the present one, when there is so
much grass that is lodged, does it
become a necessity. Cut before or
as soon as the clover is in blossom,
and again early in the fall, which
will give time for a later growth
which will be sufficient for the pro-
lection of the meadows. This will
leave the meadows in perfect condi-
ton; the grass in both cases being
cut early, the vitality of the plant is
not destroyed, or the fertility of the
soil exhausted.
The objection will be urged that
we cannot spare the time in June
that the hoeing must be attended to.
We would say keep the cultivator
moving; hoe but once, and that in
July. 1t is my opinion that our hoe
ing is oftener done too early than
too late, giving time for an after
growth of weeds to mature their
seeds, and thus touling the land after
the most thorough culture has been
given.
In cutting the heaviest of the grass
twice, we get an increase in quantity,
a gain in quality, and the grass is
cut at its best for milk and flesh
forming substances. A COW will ex-
list ON hay made from ripe grass
On this dried grass she will fatten.-
Butter made from it, even in winter,
other conditions being favorable,
will be large in quantity, firm, sweet
and golden, and have the flavor of
that made in June. Fed in the spring
to cows fresh in milk, it does away
the necessity of feeding grain, leav-
ing the COW in as healthy a condition
as possible. This dried grass can be
fed to COWS in the fall, and the same
time giving the range of the summer
pasture to them, and the flow of milk
can be kept up, thus doing away with
the necessity Of feeding the meadows.
This, of itself is a great gain, and
will compensate for any extra eff
fort that may be required.

The Horses Foot.

A competent Veterinary Surgeon
writes as follows on the subject of
that all important part of the horse,
viz, the foot:
Most Of the horse shoers of the
country prepare the foot, fit the shoe,
and secure it to the hoof in the same
manner that wood butcher fits a
shoe to an old wood or OK sled. The
mechanism of horses hoot Is one of
the most wonderful and ingenious
structures that can be found in all
the works of the Creator. Beneath
and in the rear of every hoof there is
frog, which is tough and elastic
pad for preventing injury to the ami
nal whenever he plants his foot sud
denly on any hard substance. Large
rolls or cylinders Of India-rubber are
placed beneath the railway cars to
prevent injury to any part of the car
or the cargo with which it is loaded.
The frog beneath the foot Of horse
is designed to subserve similar pur-
pose. But the manner in which most
horses are shod lifts them as it were
on short stills, so the frog cannot
perform its appropriate functions.
IF we look carefully at the young
horse when he is trotting or running,
it will be perceived that every foot is
brought down to the ground in such
a manner that the frog receives the
powerful blow. BY this means all
injury to the animal is avoided. Sci
encc teaches us to permit the frog to
develop and point downward. But
most blacksmiths seem to think that
the all-wise Creator made a mistake
when he formed the hoof Of the horse.
Hence they fall at the frog with red
hot burning irons, with edge tools
and with any other appliance that
will enable them to remove this ex-
traneous excrescence. Illustrious MIN
MES! Why not shave away all the
rough, callous, adipose tissues be-
meath their own heels, and allow the
bare bones to rest on an iron plate
inside their own boots and shoess-
No frog, no foot; no foot, no horse.

Bovine Abortion.

The following criticism furnished
by a correspondent in the C0untrs
Gentleman, is another evidence tina
close practical observation by practi
cal men is well calculated to KNOCK
the props from under those fine spun
theories which often tend only t(
mlslead the new beginner, or cloud
vision of some others who are more
advanced.
On page 1914 l find under the above
heading, statement OF the causes
that produce abortion in COWS; anG
these supposed causes are divided in
to enzootic and sporadic, though fol
what reason l cannot see, as they all
seem to be of one kind. Thus, in
the first class we find Excessive mus
cular effort" "sudden cold," "food in.
sufficient in quantity or quality" and
in the second class are given as caus
es, "contusions, pressions and jars,
"serious disease of any kind" and
"too great inclination of the floor Of
the stable" If there is any essential
difference in these two classes OF
causes, l fail to perceive it; and il
there is not, the "distinction without
a difference" is confused, to say the
least, and looks little like n parade
Of technical terms with the intention
of imposing on the readers an idea
Of the writer's great learning.
Twenty-sevcn causes are given,
and they are all of one kind, except
one. The exception is the "neighbor-
hood Of an aborting cow" which
suggests a contagious disease as the
cause of abortions, though the author
does not recognize any such cause.
1t is well known that this abor-
ton of COWS has prevailed over a
large portion of our country within
the past forty years; that before then
it was unknown as an epidemic Il
prefer epidemic to epizootic, and will
give my reasons if anybody wants
them); that since it's occurrence in
recent times it 1nfests certain farms
while others escape; that the intro
duction into a healthy herd of cows
of one from diseased herd may in
feet the whole herd that was before
healthy, and that no amount of care
expended in preserving the general
health, protecting from accidents,
&C., will prevent the spread of the
disease by contagion, though it may
lessen it, as neglect may increase it.
I remember that when the potato rot
prevailed, just such narrow reasoning
was INDUCED in as we have now in
explanation of abortion. In one
neighborhood the rot was referred to
the hot weather that Immediately fol-
lowed a wet time. In another place
it was too much ram, and in another
it was toggy mornings.
Even the eminent chemist, Liabig,
committed the folly Of offering all
explanation of the theory of imper-
feet development caused by deficient
nutrition. He asserted that potatoes
had been too long cultivated on the
same ground; and that certain essen
tial ingredients Of the soil being ex-
hausted the potatoes were conse.

10 MAKE Sows OWN THEIR PIGS.
Some years ago ! was told that a
mellowing drink of whisky or beer
given to a SOW that refused to let her
pigs suck, would induce her to adopt
them kindly. A few days since a
neighbor who had worried all night
with a valuable SOW applied for as
sistance, and, advice being much
cheaper and easier than work, l urged
him till he administered half pint
of whisky. 1t worked like charm.
She received her eight little ones
with the usual porcines expressions
of maternal satisfcton, and has been
a kind mother ever since. This is
but single instance, and its effect in
this case may be exceptional; out as
it accords with the observation of my
informant deem it worthy of remem-
brance and trial.
