Grooming Cattle.

The question often arises in the mind
of the farmer or stuck>raiser whether 1t
pays 10 groom his animals or allow them
to run way hberally supplied with RIB
bing-pos!s. 1, wonld appear. if we view
animals In the light of physiology, that
the question. in points of economy. 10
say nothing of the increased comfort Of
the animals. had been satisfactorily sets
tied in the affirmative years ago. There
is no question in our mind that groom
ing or cardiug cattle is as necessary.
and even profitable as with horses. A
successful breeder is as pasticular that
one should be groomed as the other,
and says tha, he knows it pays. Keep
ing the skin clean and the peres open
must be as beneficial to the dumb api-
mails as to the human species. and for
ourselves we well know that if we keep
the body in health it is necessary to
keep the skin clean. The question has
been solved by breeders of thorough
breds and they use this means to pros
mote the health as well as increase the
size and weight of their animals. They
all take great pains to keep them clean,

An interesting paper appeared
not long since in the English
Agricultural Gazette, on the color
of animals, and its relation to
their health or hardness. The
nature of the food or surround
ing earth appears to exert an in
fuence on the color both of ami
mails and plants. Alum directly
influences the color of the by
drangen flower; and hempseed
causes bullfinches and other
birds to grow black. The ma
tives of the Amazonian region
feed the common green parrot
with the fat Of large siIuroid
fishes, and the birds thus treated
become beautifully variegated
with red and yellow feathers.
