HOME-BRED CATTLE.
A Strong Argument in Favor of 'Home-
Breeding"

A Strong Argument in Favor of 'Home-
Breeding
The cattle reared upon a place pos
sess traits that are Of advantage to the
producer over those procured from
other sources. There are few animals
in which ''home' instincts are more
strongly developed than in cattle. They
become much attached to the premises
or localities where they have been
reared, and the conditions under which
they are maintained seem to become a
second nature to them, and they adapt
themselves with great reluctance to
any other. Any alteration or change
is disturbance which tells more or less
directly upon their thrift The very
best continuous results in feeding can
only be realized where the steer is fed
upon the farm where he was raised and
where he has been accustomed to the
identical surroundings which attend
the finishing period. If he is ultimate
ly to be fed in yards near the stabling
he should be no stranger to them, and
if i'll buildings he should be familiarized
with these long before the fatting
period is reached, so that when placed
in his final quarters there will be no
nervous worry or apprehension.
Feeling perfectly at home there
will be nothing to prevent a
prompt and liberal return for the
host generous keep. For this reason
it Should 81 the unvaryfng-- practtice of
the farmer to raise most Of the steers
which he feeds, and to only purchase
outside cattle when he has been unable
to breed enough to supply his own
needs. He can buy no cattle, other
things being equal, which will feed with
us much profit and advantage as those
he himself raises.
And there is another great argument
in favor of 'home breeding" in the
superior quality Of cattle which can
thereby be secured. Those to be pur-
chased in the market are, as a rule,
only moderately improved-quarter,
eighth or sixteenths blood at best. They
can be made fat, of course, and many
of them are capable of being developed
into prime beasts, but in no such time
and at no such outlay of food and labor
as suffice for animals of better breed
ing, in which the most favorable
feeding qualities have been more care
fully and persstently developed. On
his own farm, handling cattle to suit
himself, the farmer can improve the
feeding qualities of his cattle to point
limited only by his own skill and ex-
perience, and provide himself with a
class of cattle which will not only afford
degree of satisfaction and pride which
purchased stock, no matter how
grounded" can never inspire, but such
as will turn the product of every field
to the very largest proft-Breeder's
Gazette.

Horses to be Watered Before Being Fed.

Horses to be Watersd Before Being Fed.
Bearing in mind that the stomach
of a horse is small L proportion to
the size of his frame, he requires
feeding often, and though three
times a day is sufficient. four times
is better. Unlike human beings,
horses should drink before they eat,
because, owing to the conformation
of the horse, water does not remain
in the stomach, but passes through
it into a large intestine called the
cecum. II horse be fed first, tile
water passing through the stomach,
will be likely to carry with it parti-
cles of food, and thus bring about
collie. Whatever a groom may say,
let q horse drink just as much as he
likes. IL he be waterod four times a
day, he will never take very mu CHI,
nor too much to be good for him.
A horse, it must be remembered, is
fed on dry food, and this, with the
strong work done by him, produces
a feverisliness, which q suficiency of
water tends to allay.-The London

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Threshing From Che Shook.

1t is a common practice of the
largest grain growers in the North.
west to thresh their product from the
shock. This saves the expense OF
stacking, but whether the system is
a good one we have our doubts. It
is pretty well demonstrated that
when stacked aud allowed to remain
in the stack for a few weeks-espe-
cially il shriyeledz-win come out in
many instances in a greatly i'm
proved condition, and the value Of
the grain increased through the
agency of the stacking process. We
have in our day stacked slirunken
wheat which became much improved
by the sweating process while in
he stack. The yield per acre is in
creased, the quality OF the grain is
materially improved, and the -four
made from it is much better than It
would have been il it had not been
stacked. We believe it would pay
u largest farmers, as it does our
smaller ones, to stack their wheat.
OF course, il a farmer has several
thousand acres of wheat the expens-
es in stacking it would be very con-
siderable, but they would have abet-
ter article to send to market. 1t is
the usual custom OF farmers, who
thresh their wheat from the shock,
to sell it at once. Tt is hauled from
the thresher to the elevator, and i'm
mediately transferred from the Gle.
yator to the car. If put in the bin it
would heat and its value be de.
creased. Handling it at once in the
elevators and on the cars prevents 1T
being damaged. tlss .od

Where apple butter is not made on
a larger scale a very good article may
be made as follows: Take twenty
gallons OF cider just from the press
and made from good, sound apples,
and boil it down to ten gallons. Then
apples enough are pared and cored
to make from ten to twelve gallons
dry measure. If the cider is much
acid. the acid should be less so, and
vice versa. These twenty gallons of
apples, wheI properly cooked, will
make about gallons of good,
oid-fashioned butter, provided the
stirring is kept constantly going Oh
during the process; otherwise the
butter is very, apt to acquire a burnt
taste. 1t usually takes from six to
eight hours constant stirring before
being taken off the fire. Spices to
suit the taste are added some min.
utes before the kettle and contents
are removed from the fire.
