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.
We learn from the Lexington , Mo.) Citi

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 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.

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 !

DIT. J. M. LINDSEV, —Dear Sir: I have been using
your Improved Blood Searcher since some time last
summer, and I deem it to he a mattei of duty tohear
my testimony to Its invigorating hlood rrstorative
virtues. I have been for a number of years severe
ly troubled erysipelas and general debility, but since
1 put mvself under the influence of your Improved
Blood Searcher, I find a very decided improvement,
Indeed, my acquaintances frequently remark, that 1
look so "fat and hearty;" and I know of no other
cause than the use of your Improved Blood Searcher.
Judging from my own experience, I believe that this
is one of the most valuable medicines that woman
can use, especially those who tare or have entered
upon the decline of life (from 40 to 00 years of age).
I feel that it would have been above ingratitude on
my my part to have withheld this testimony, anil in
thus consenting to appear as a witness before the
public. 1 have been actuated solely with reference
to the voice of conscience and duty. You are
at liberty to make whatever use you may deem pro
per of this statement. Yours, respectfully,
MARGARET \V. O'DON NELL.
LIVER COMPIaILVT CURED BY Lind
sey's Improved Blood-Searcher.— B/pir County, ss.
Personally appeared before me, one of the Justices
of the Peace, in and for Blair county, George Knpp,
who, being duly sworn according to law, doth depose
and say: Two years ago 1 was afflicted with pain
between the shoulders, almost con-tant cough, loss
of appetite, chills, nightsweats, and very subject to
take colds; I, at length, became so weak that I could
hardly walk; my physician done me no good. Some
time last fall, I commenced taking Lindsey's im
proved blood-searcher, and by the use of two bottles
was perfectly cured. I feel, to recommend it to all
who suffer from Liver diseases, general debility, loss
of appetite, and other diseases arising from impurity
of the blood. 1 would not like to do without it.—
1 consider it an excellent family medicine.

A DESPERATE CASE OF AGUE A.YD
DTSPKPSIA, entirely cured by the use of Lindsey's
"Improved Blood-Searcher."
Blair County, ss —Personally appeared before me,
the subscriber, one of the Justices of the Peace, in
a nd for said county, John Moran, who, being duly
a———a———a——
sworn according to law, doth depose and say, that,
in the spring ol' J856, 1 was a victim tothat worst ot
j diseases—dyspepsia, and that in its worst form. My
app>tite was completely gone, and when, in order to
I preserve life, I would force myself to swallow a
: mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately
' loath it, and cast it forth with the spittle. 1 had
, also been sufl'enrig with the ague; each attack lasting
about nine months out of tbe twelve, so that, with
j the ague and dyspepsia, 1 was reduced as I thought
beyond recovery; 1 thought I must die, rny physician
could do me no good. 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. Dyspepsia cannot stay where ihe Improv
! Ed Blood-Searcher is properly jised. 1 feel it mv du.-
! ty to point all who sutler, to this all-healing medi
