Some Points About Fat Horses.

A fat horse is a proportionately weak
horse. Fat is an oily matter, itself unen-
idowed with life or sensibility, contained
in cells, as honey is within the honey.
comb, which are vital, and SO endowed
that they, lose the power either OF adding
to or taking from the quantity of oily
naateer at any time existing. The use OF
fat is to fill up crevices in the body,
facilitate the movements of parts one
upon another, and serve as a7sort of in.
ternal nutriment, in case the animal
should be in situation where he can
not obtain food; but, when it accu-
mulates, instead of facilitating the mo-
tions of parts, it clogs and impedes them,
and becomes, from its collected amount
Of freight, burden to the body. A fat
horse is not only unfit to go, but really
has a weight within himself to carry
which the horse in condition for work
has been disencumbered Of. A fat horse
will not bear the loss of blood the same
as a horse in working state of body ;
the one will faint from the abstraction of
quantity which the other will stand
without being affected. Plumpness,
which arises from fatness, is too apt to
convey to the eyes of the inexperienced
the impression ofstrength and ability to
20 to work, whereas it ought, we repeat,
be taken as a proof to the contrary.
When buyer enters dealers yard to
buy horse, every horse shown him most
likely-certainly every horse four or FIVE
years old-is fat, cand, therefore, not in
condition for work. Dealers-by quanti-
ties of grain and sometimes by means of
poisonous nostrums and by giving their
horses only such little walking exercise
as serves to keep their legs from swelling
make the horses they have for sale as
fat as they can, and for two reasons.
First, fat fills up the crevices and con.
ceals any imperfections there may be OF
outward form. 1t is the. horse dealers
putty; by it, like the coach-maker or the
furniture-maker, he makes his article for
sale appear more perfect or freer from
defect than it really is. Secondly, by it
he gives an appearance of size and bulk
to the article which passes for sign OF
strength and ability, but which, as we
said before, is in reality condition Of
weakness.

SELLING THE OLD FARn.-Therc is s

SELLING THE OLD 5FARM.-Therc is 8
constant buying and:selling Of farms 60
ipg on from year to yearsin our country.
This restlessness on thepart of the farm
er, and this desire to change a present
location for another one, hundreds of
miles off, is so frequently witnessed in
our day that we cease to wonder att. In
the.time ofour forefathers, when 93a man
was settled on farm, he commonly con
tinued on it through life, and then left it
for his son. In times gone by, the same
farm was first occupied by the grand
father, and 80 on by son and grandson.
Then the good old homestead was rever-
euced and the occupancy Of it was es-
teemed great privilege. There was a
satisfaction felt by the successor that his
predecessor was his relative, cultivated
the same fields, wandered by the same
brooks, traversed the same hills, and ate Of
the fruit of the same orchard. Then there
was home feeling, home associations,
and home attachments. Now the farmer
looks more to his pecuniary gains, and
when offered large price for his land,
hesitates not to sell. He quits his beau
tiful home, his .well-cultivated acres, emf
CRATES to the far West, and commences
life of hardship that he never dreamed OF.
It can safely be said that where one man
succeeds in his undertaking many fail.
II he could only sell his new farm how
gladly would he HE back to the old home,
now occupied by strangers, and the en-
closure, which contains the graves Of his
kindred, going to ruin. With the advent
of spring, many will dispose Of their
farms and remove to far off country, TO
undergo the privations and troubles incl
dent upon establishing home In a new.
country. Our advice is to remain where
you are. Ifyou are comfortably of, be
contented to remain 80. Do not ex-
change a certainty for an uncertainty,
unless powerful reasons are brought to
bear upon you to seek new settlement
in distant region. Stick to the old
farm, for it has never failed you In the
time of need. @

FINE MANURE VS.. LONG MANURE
Mr.. Ives, a successful New York farmer,

FINE MANURE VS.. LONG MANURE
Mr.. Ives, successful New York farmer,
says: :,
1 have come to: believe, from repeated
experience in practice, that by applying
the manure while in raw or fresh state,
if it is only fine enough to mix we'll with
the soil, it will do the most good that it
ever will; though possibly load might
90 farther after being fermented and rot
ted down, for in doing that the weight
and bulk is very much reduced. By ap-
plying it while comparatively fresh, the
process of rotting is done where its good
ness is all saved in the soil, like the yege-
table matter from a good turf, or clover
crop, or from any vegetable growth
plowed under for green manuring. We
are told by scientific men that these-the
unfermented manure as well as the green
vegetable matter-go through slow pro-
cess of fermentation while rotting in the
soil, so that all their qualities are saved,
and I believe that the farmer using cut
feed, so that all the material that goes to
make the manure heap in fine, would
find no. advantage in letting it ferment
or rot before using 1t, when with long
coarse manure he must of necessity put
it through that process to have it short
enough to use.
might also state that the amount of
manure I obtain yearly averages about
ten loads per head of horses and cattle
kept; the horses being kept up through
the year, and the cattle six to seven
months besides being taken in every
night through the summer. All the ma
nure is kept under shelter, and the horse
manure so mixed with that of the cattle,
and trodden down, that it seldom heats
before it is drawn out for use. Ten loads
to the acre, spread from the wagon as I
draw it, isthawagI generally nse it. :.

INJUSTICE OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM

INJUSTICE OF The FhESENl o1oAEM.
The proof of the bad economy aud the
bad policy of our present system Of fenc-
ing, has suggested, also, its injustice. TO
compel A t. fence against BIZ. cattle, lis
morally and socially wrong. 1t inverts
the relation of things. 1t takes property
from A without rendering him an equiv
alent. Corn, wheat, fruit trees, vegeta-
bles, stay at home quietly, trespsssing on
nobody, and interfering with nobody.
Shall we put the omus of fencing on
stationary or on locomotive property :?
Shall we burden with the cost of fencing
the man whose property stays. where it is
put, and cannot get away? or on the man
whose property has Leg, ,shorns and grind
ers, with graniverous appetizer
The writer in the Illinois Report asks {:
us there any good reason why one man
should be compelled to build from oneto
ten miles of fence to protect his crops
from his nighbors' stock, when such
neighbers might do it with one-tenth the
fence Can any one give me good rea-
SON why the law should be that man
shall stand guard over his one hundred
and sixty acres of grain, rather than his
neighbor over his one COW? Does, or
does it not, seem right that every man
shall take care of his own stock? On
this hinges the whole question. My idea
is that every man shall take care of his
own stock and, as -corollary,~ ~that~he
shall be compelled to make only so much
or 80 little fence as necessary to do that
thing" IL
