Characteristics of a Good Horse- The following articl<- is worthy the attention of the amateurs in the horse line now in our; midst: The New York Spirit of the 'limes gives the i following characteristics ola good horse: 1. His eye? even when m the" stable, are perfectly clear and transparent, am) the pu pils or apples of the eyes are alike in color and , size. 2. On being nipped in the gullet, he will utter a sound like that from a bellows. If, on the contrary, he should give vent to a dry, ! husky, shprt cough, beware of him ; his wind is unsound. 3. His legs are smooth and clean. If you find hunches, or puffs, or a difference in size, j though he may not be lame, disease lurks ! there. 4. If broad and full between the eyes, he j is susceptible of being trained to almost any thing. 5. If some white or parti-colored, he is docile and gentle. or Feed for Milcli Cows. MESSRS. EDITORS, —I wrote to you some j time ago for information in relation to Savage's steam boiler, and mentioned to you that I was sending milk to New York by the Harlem railroad, and wanted to find the jest way to heat water irt sufficient quantities to scald feed for about thirty cows daily, through the winter. t In your reply you requested me to write for publication in your paper, my mode of preparing cow feed in winter, and how I feed my cows in summer: and now, after some delay 1 will endeavor to comply with youi re quest. In summer, I turn them to pasture, hav ing a plenty of rough land that is good lor little , else. In winter, their feed consists of corn, oats and hay. I bring in a portion of my corn in the stout? without husking, when sufficiently dry, and stow it away for winter us". I then cut the corn, together with oats in the sheaf, and tread the mixture down in a large feed tub, or a hogshead with one head, and turn on fifty or sixty gallons of boiling water, which softens the corn so that the cows can eat it with out making their teeth sore, and the oats will be perfectly cooked through, so that they will all digest. I have one of Daniel's patent feed cutters, which I pnrchased about three years ago at a cost of twenty-five dollars. It is calculated to go by horse-power, but is the best band pow er cutter I have ever seen, and when in good order, two men will cut feed enough in one hour for my thirty cows one dav, or two feed ings. One hogshead full of feed, well trod down will make about thirty bailfuis, or one feed ing for my cows. I feed them twice a dav with this feed, and they have what hay they want besides. The advantage that I find in preparing my feed in this way, over that of threshing and grinding, is. Ist. It is cheaper to cut my oats and com than to thresh and husk the same. 2d I save the trouble of carrying rav corn and oats two utiles to mill, and bringing it horn again. 3d. I save the toll, which is something of an item. 4th. The whole of the oats, straw, chafT, kc., and the whole of the corn, stalks, husks, cobs, silk and all, is eaten, except some of the larg est butt ends of the stalks, are left, which I con sider no loss, as they are not fit for any animal to eat. sth. I get more milk than I can make out of dry feed and although I have tried no definite experiments, I arn satisfied that the same quan tity of corn and oats prepared in this way will go about as far again as to thresh and grind them, and throw away the straw and chaff, which, fed dry, (in case a cow can be coaxed to eat it,) will only have the effect to dry up her milk. My cows eat their feed greedily, and with two heaping pailfuls a day to each cow, it re quires less hay to fill them up, and as each cow gets three or four gallons of water in her scal ded feed, night and morning, while standing in her stall, they w ill not crave so large a quantity of cold water when let out in the morning, as they would if fed on dry provender and hav : and the chilling effect of cold water taken in large quantities, cannot be very favorable to the making of milk. Corn, to be fed in this way, should be plant ed not over three feet apart each way, so that the stalks will not be very coarse and tlie more leafy, and although the ears will not be very large, yet the) will probably yield as much w-eight by the acre as when planted three and a half or four feet apart, and particular care should be taken to have it secured and brought in good order. The objection to this mode of preparing food, is the trouble and expense of heating "water which I think might be greatly obviated by bringing into use some of the newly improved boilers that are advertised for heating houses, &c., with very little tune and fuel and have them so constructed as to adapt them to our use. I believe this to be the true way to fi*ed oats to milking cows, but corn prepared in this way does not perfectly digest, and ought to >- put into a large boiler, and by standing a few hours over the same fire that it requires simply to boil the water the kernels will crack open aud be come perfectly digestible. I have practiced the latter course for two winters past with good success, by using a wooden box with a sheet iron bottom, but it takes rather too much wood, and the box gets dried up and out of order every summer. The object of my former inquiry was to find some kind of a boiler to meet my particular wants, and any information in relation to the subject through the columns of the Cultivator will be thankfully received by a subscriber.— Country Gentleman.

JOHN P. REED, Nov, 57, 1857. Auditor. THE WONDER OF THE AGE! J. M. LINSEY'S GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVERY! Which is a purely vegetable Preparation , for the pu- I rifying ofblood, giving vigor to the Liver, stomach 1 and bowels, and expelling fronr. the system all mor i bid matter, and substituting iri its stead a healthful i activity through all the functions of life. HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED! In the fall of 1854 a daughter of Mr. I.indsey was | suffering from a malignant attack ofCancrum Oris ' (Canker of the mouth.) She had previously been prostrated by the attacks of Dysentary, Jnflamafion of the lungs and Hectic Fever, successively, which resulted in the above named disease in its worst form. Her condition was most deploiatile—her mouth and cheek were literally rotten —the attending phy sician pronounced the case a hopeless one. Every thing indicated a speedy and horrible death the i death of rotting out of life ! At this critical junc , ture Mr. Lindsev prepared a compound lor the pur- I pose of alleviating, possible, the pains of the little i sufferer. She was made to use it freely, and in a short time to his most delightful astonishment, there ( was a very perceptible change for the better. The mouth began to put on a bright and healthy appear ance—the foul breath became sweet—the appetite was restored, and the child seemed to partake of a i new and fresh life. Hope was inspired, and the use of the compound ' was faithfully continued, the result oi which, with I the blessing of God, was her complete restoration.— She is now perfectly healthy ! From this circum stance, Mr. Lindsey wasted to prepare with greater care and exactness, what had so astonishingly cured his child, and continued his experimental elfotts un til he succeeded in bringing to perfection his Great Remrdt/ fur Blood Impurity —silice which time its effects have been almost miraculous. Hundreds upon hundreds, by it- have been snatched from an . untimely grave and restored to the sweets of health I and the endearment of friends, The young and old : have tested it. saving powers and sing aloud its vir j tlies. Say they —"after using Lindsey's Improved ! Blood Searcher, we felt as if a new lite was stirring ' our veins, and under God we ov.'e to it more than i words can express." But hear fiom their own lips ami then judge of its valuable effects. The few testiir onials that follow show that it is deservedly styled the Greatest Discov ery ef this or any other age. J. M.

I, the undersigned, sometime in j last March was severely afflicted with w hat was pro nounced by my physicians to he a certain Wind of'i'et ; ter and Barber's Itch. My condition was one of the : greatesl misery; my face was almost constantly run ning with the foul corruption that escaped from the I tubercles, by which it was almost completely cover ; ed. After being under of my physicians lor liear two months, without the least benefit, 1 was in duced to make a trial of Lindsey's Blood Searcher, and the result was that in using one bottle and a half I found a perfect cure, 1 may also say that I eagerly tried whatever was recommended as a cure.— Such was my wretchedness that 1 even resorted to the dangerous experiment of pouring pure Creosote on my face and neck, hut all to no purpose—the lilood Searcher was the first and only thing that did me any good. As a bloor! purifier it is unequalled; & I have great reason to be grateful that I ever made a trial of its healing virtues, and 1 confidently recom mend it to any who may suffer trom Jetter, or any other disease arising from an impure state of the blood. JOHN DELEHUNT. Hollidaysburg, Pa., July 29 1857. A.Y L\TERESTLYG CASE OF SCROFU LA cured by one bottle of Lindsey's Blood Searcher. —This certifies that about one year ago our little son aged lour years, was most sorely afflicted with what the physicians pronounced to be a scrofula, and was treated accordingly for nearly a year, but without the slightest benefit. His eyes were running a thin mattery humor almost constantly; which would encrust his eyes beyond the power of opening them until they were washed and cleaned by soap and wa ter. About the same time an abscess formed just | below the groin, which in due time broke and com menced a discharge, which was found impossible to dry up or heal—the bed would be very much stained and the clothing of the child perfectly sickening in a single nights time. After havingjthe attentions of a physician for so long a time, and finding the child to begetting woise, we determined to try the effects of Mr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher. This was in last March and before two weeks had passed away the change was manifest, andl am happy to say that in the use of a SINGLE BOTTLE our little hoy has been perfectly restored to health. We cannot speak too highly of this invaluable medicine. It should be in every family—none should be without it. Asa pu rifier of blood it is beyond all price ! DANIEL BOLLINGER.

Such was my condition, when Mr. Lindspy supplied me with a boitle of his im proved blood-searcher, assuring nie it would work a cure. 1 commenced its use but with little confidence; but, in one week's time—so great was its restora tive powers—l found my appetite to return, my i stomach received a new tone, so that 1 couid eat , anything without the slightest inconvenience, and before its healing touch the ague tied as from a charm ; nor have 1 been troubled with -ague or dys pepsia since. 1 enjoy a better state of health than , 1 had done for fifteen years before; 1 am strong and j hearty, and I feel confident that, under the blessing j of God, 1 owe all to the invaluable Irnpioved Blnod i Searcher. 1 believe it not to be only a sure remedy ; (or ague, but an inlalltble preventive , and, as such, 1 would recommend it to all whose business, habits, or 1 residences, expose Iheni to this dreadful pest of hu manity.
