STABLE CLEANING.

Lancaster Farmer.
Forty to fifty years ago, and We are
sorry to say that the evil still exists at
the present time at points far away
from towns and cities and dense popu-
lations, there was nothing so much
neglected as the keeping Of COW stables
clean. AS common rule they were
cleaned out once 4 weck-on Saturday
and then it was not so much on ac-
count Of the comfort and health of the
animal and the convenience and tidi.
ness Of the mixer, rs simply because
the pile OF manure must be gotten out
Of the way to allow Of the putting up
and letting loose Of the cattle mornings
and evenings. We have seen the mar
uiS in the cattle stalls two feet of almost
clear dung, with the hinder part OF the
animal at least one foot higher than the
front part, and the cattle being driven
out to the pasture field with quantities
of fresh dung hanging to their fanks,
which from day to day received layer
upon layer until it was one disgusting
mass, and was left there until it became
dry and hard, and fell of in flakes oi
its own action. The litter-about a
fourth Of the quantity cattle now receive
consisted Of the stalks Of corn.fodder
which could not be eaten, the weeds
left in the hay, the rakings Of dirty
straw lying about the outbuildings, and
sometimes mixed with a few leaves
from the woods. The food Of the
dairy cows consisted Of musty corn-fod-
der, second crop clover, and orchard
grass badly cured, chaff from the win
nowings Of the threshed grain, oats,
straw, etc. The COWS were Of course
as thin almost as skeletons, and their
product Of poor milk was about one-half
Property Ted cattle. The fact fact IS IS that that
the farmer took no pride in his live
stock. The idea Of giving them clean
stalls, good ventilation and nourishing
food, never entered his thoughts, and
If it did would have been regarded as
an utter waste ofmoney without any re.
turn.
But look at the stables now of the
dairy stock Their stalls are wide, clean
and fresh, the cattle themselves are
bright and sleek, with no projecting
ribs, and pleasant to handle, well-fed,
comfortable in every way, and giving
two or three times the quantity OF milk
and as rich as il is abundant. The
butter from such cows commands twice
the price from its careful manufacture
and uniform excellence. At the present
time also the farmer feels more pride
in his dairy stock than in anything else
upon his farm. He finds that they
give a double return for all the extra
care and cost Of their improved treat
ment, and that he has nothing upon
his premises that pays him so we'll in
every respect as they.

GETTING ooop srocK cHnAPLY.

y. 4. Morcland, IN Rarai Heas rorksr.
The farmer who does not appreciate
a wellbred animal is an anomaly indeed.
! have never met him. The farmer
who thinks he can invest money In
such stock Is almost as rare. Perhaps
il would not pay every farmer owning a
farm Of forty or fifty acres to pay ss,-
900 for a COW or S., 900 for a bull but
that fact alone falls far short Of proving
that il will not pay the farmer to own
and breed good stock.
II is the most natural thing in the
world for farmer to like good stock,
fancy porkers, fast or heavy draft horses,
wellbred sheep and good cows, whether
Jersey, Ayrshire, Holstein or Shorthorn.
II causes many good farmers quite
pang to be deprived of the pleasure Of
owning and breeding such stock. II is
we'll enough for farmers to have their
aspirations for the very best, for this is
the source Of excellence; but all can
not excel. Every one cannot own the
very highest-priced COW or bull, or the
fastest horse; but this should not pre-.
vent every farmer from improving his
stock. Stock companies are formed
every day for breeding fancy stock, and
believe that in the main they are
very profitable.
Suggest to the farmer owning fifty
acres Of land and keeping half dozen
cows and dozen sheep, that he has
neighbors in the same condition. II
may not pay one Of these farmers to
buy bull at ss5o or $500, but will it
not pay two or three or FIVE or six Of
these farmers to join their means to-
gether and procure the very best animal
they can get2 think so. Supposing
farmers owning from fifty to sixty cows
should procure bull even at the cost
Of $500; this is good sum Of money
and will procure good animal, and
a well kept animal will serve that
number Of COWS, and the cost to
each farmer interested is Of small ac.
count while it would be impossible
for one farmer to incur the expense
alone. The animal can be kept for
three or four years-long enough, in
fact, to furnish all the farmers interest
cd in the ownership with his best
daughters for their dairies. No $500 bull
should be sent to the shambles provid-
cd he can be controlled and proves a
good breeder. Such bull always has
value like ones farm or team, and
when it becomes advisable to dispose
of him, he can be sold for fair price
or exchanged for another desirable bull
with farmers similarly situated. BY
following up this course until the far
mers who have thus united their inter.
csts have dairies with three or four
,IUsses VI ,i,~ I.ssd ador'ed Tc- tho
improvements Of the stock, the farmers
will have satisfied themselves in regard
to the actual profit Of improved stock.
That such stock is profitable in dollars
and cents no one who has had expert
ence can or will deny.

STUMBLING HORSES.

The Pittsburg (Penna.) .SkOekmaa
says: Some good horses are addicted
to stumbling while walking or moving
in a slow trot. A well.versed veterina.
rian states that there are two causes
that would tend to produce this faulty
action: one, a general weakness in the
muscular system, such as would be
noticed in a tired horse the other a
weakness OF the exterior muscles OF the
leg, brought about by carrying too
much weight on the toe. To effect a
cure, he adds, Tighten the weight of
each front shoe about four ounces,
have the top Of the shoe made Of steel
instead Of iron, it will wear longer !;
have il rounded off about the same as
II would be when one-third worn out,
in order to prevent tripping; allow
one weeks rest have the legs shower
ed for few minutes at a time with
cold water thro' a hose, in order to
create spray; then rub dry, briskly,
from the chest down 20 the foot. Give
walking exercise daily during this week
for about an hour twice day. When
you commence driving again omit the
slow jog, either walk or send him along
at sharp trot for mile or two, then
walk away, but do not speed for at
least several weeks. BY this means the
habit Of stumbling from either of the
above causes will be pretty well over
come.

The Channel Tunnel,

The London Times, of May 2, con-
tains an interesting discussion before
the joint committee of the houses Of
parliament, of the e~xpediency of con-
structing the channel tunnel. Several
railway men thought trains could, by
a suitable blook System, be safely run
every quarter of 40 hour, or about
forty passenger and forty freight trains
per day of twenty.four hours, carry
Ing about 5000, 600 passengers and
1850, 600 tons of goods per annum
The only doubt In the mind of one OF
the gentlemen as to the practical work
Ing of the tunnel, was on account OF
the ventilation. He thought 1t ques.
tionable whether the signal men could
remain In the tunnel any length
Of time. A member of parliament
stated that the tunnel would be of
great Importance In the delivery of
%perishable goods; would not disturb
the carrying trade of the country,
and q land connection with France
would bs Of great advantage to Eng.
land In the event Of the latter going
to war with some other great CONT.
mental power or the United States.
In suoh q case, assuming that England
would not be able efficiently to pro.
tect her commerce at sea, she could
not get her wheat, cotton and other
commodities ss comfortably by way of
Boulogne as by way of Calais through
Q tunnel. The manager of the
Great Northern railway preferred to
refrain from expressing an opinion
upon the advisability of constructing
the tunnel from a national point Of
view.
