Tim Bunker on Carding Cattle.
"Things look considerable grand
mud here," said Jako Frink, one
torning, as he walked into my new
iqrn, where I was .cleaning off my
• lack Hawk span, getting ready to
'ke Mrs. Bunker down to Shadtown
spend Thanksgiving. You see, Sal
• and her husband have generally
.me home to spend this day,but just
ion there was a responsibilityso young
that the mother could not venture
out. •
- " The Squire is gittin' so pertikelar
with his cattle that he'll be inovireem
all into the parlor pretty soon, I
guess," responded George Washing
ton Tucker.
" Many a poor fellow don't have
sich blankets as them hosses," said
Seth Twiggs, as he scratched a match
and lighted his pipe . .
" Nor sicli bedding," added Benja
min Franklin Jones, looking at the
clean, bright straw.
• "Planks, I see, are a little too hard
for your animals to stand on," said
Deaeon Smith, inquiringly, as he pok
ed away the straw and examined the
'bottom of the stall.
" There is three feet of dry muck
in there,"l replied,"and 'the pit is all
cemented, so that I shan'n't lose any
of the liquid . manure. I calculate a
horse will half pay for his keeping in
the manure he makes, if you give him
a-chance."
" ll'd chestnut for siding to the
stall I" exclaimed Jotham Sparrow
grass, as he rubbed his hand over the
surface, " I declare it looks about
equal to the pews in the meetin'
house."
-
"The Squire 'll be havin' a parson
in here preach& to his cattle; yet ;
see if he don't," added Jake Frick,
maliciously.
" Mr. Spooner wo'd get some hear
ers here that he don't have on Sun
day,l guess," said Seth Twiggs,meck
ly, with a puff of smoke that made
Jake look blue.
" What new-fangled consarn is this
you're cleanin' your critters with?"
asked Uncle Jonathan, as he eyed a
new India-rubber card that I was pass
ing over the legs of the horses,
"What do you give your cows, that
makes their coats shine so ?" asked
Deacon Smith, as he looked at a row
Of Jerseys cn the other side of the
barn floor.
"Oihmeal and carrots inside, and
India-rubber card outside," 'replied,
"You don't mean to say that you
keerd 'em every day?" asked Jake
Prink. whose tangled locks evidently
have not been astonished by card or
cemb for many a day.
"Somebody attends to just this
business every day, and I think it
Pays."
"Wall,' Squire, you're a bigger fool
than I thought you was. I've some
times cleaned up a boss when I had a
trade ahead, but I never touched a
keerd to a cow in all my life. `Tain't
natural sartain."
"Then," I asked, "what are the
spines upon a cow's tongue made for,
and why do they use them upon one
another's hides so much ?"
"They haint much else to du," - said
Jake, hesitatingly.
Now, I hold, Mr. Editor, that all
our bovine animals carry a clean bill
of -rights to carding in their tongues,
and the best card is the one that comas
nearest to the original, which is mod
erately sharp, fine and flexible. Wo
men's rights, about which folks are
making such a fuss, don't begin to be
so clear as this matter. I wish you
would get up a revolution, and put on
a strong 'editorial team to advocate
the divine right of our domestic ani'
mals to be kept tolerably clean and
comfortable. It would not pay, per
haps, to put them all into a warm bath
every-day, as Deacon Smith's Eliza
serves her lapdog, but it will pay to
use the card and brush every day.—
They have an organization very like
our own, and the skin is all the time
throwing off dead matter, which lodg
es under the hair, unless some pains
be taken to get rid of it, If left free,
you will see them using their tongues
upon every part of their body that is
accessible, and gettinghelp from their
neighbors for those parts they cannot
reach. They will rub their necks and
backs against posts, and fences, and
trees, to start this dead matter and
clean their skins. In the summer
they will wade into the streams, and
stand for hours in the running water,
to keep themselves clean as well as
cool. There is no mistaking these
acts. They show the instinct of clean
liness just as clearly as the comb,and
brush, and wash-basin show it in man.
Now; when we take these creatures
into our care, and confine them in
stalls and stables, we come under some
obligation to treat them according to
thcir* natures. We have no right to
torment them by withholding what
they so strongly crave: They want
food and drink, and the means of
cleanliness and comfort, and thos
generally profitable to us jug as we
provide liberally for their wanfr. To
keep them in the filth in which many
farmers compel them to wallow is as
shocking and cruel as it is unprofita
ble. Just look at Jake Frink's sta
bles. There is not a curry comb or
brush in them, and has not been for a
dozen years. He says he"never touch
ed a keerd to his cows," but there is
a card upon the buttocks of his oxen
an inch thick, that certifies to Jake's
nastiness, as if it were written in let
.tern of ink. Is it any wonder that his
neglected oxen get so _weak that he
has to hire his plowing done in the
spring, and that his cows have, the
"slink fever;" and his horse dreads
the sight of crows? I wish he had
your Mr. Burgh out here in the coun
try. There is a, great deal more need
for a society to prevent cruelty to
brutes than in the city, There are
many more of the brutes, and the
men who torment them with slow
torture do not have,all their neighbors
looking at them, nor a policeman to
step in and regulate their abuse. I
hold that a man is demoralized by the
abuse or neglect of his cattle. The
farmer that will let his oxen lie in their
own filth, from the beginning to the
end of winter, without any effort to
bed them or cleair them, makes him
self brutish, no matter how he stands
in church or state. He can't fail to
grow hard towards his fellows, as well
as toward his cattle. But there is a
right as weir - as a wrong way of keep
ing your cattle clean, as there is in
doing other things. Some of the cards
an d curry-combs are fit only to scrape
the hide of a rhinoceros. I have tried
pretty much everything in the market
and have come to the conclusion that
there" is as much difference in cards
and curry-combs as in other things.
Here is a card . With the teeth set into
the wood, as stiff as so many shingle
nails: Put this into Patrick's hand,
and upon the back of a thin-skinned
and nervous horse, and it is a terrible
instrumentoftorture.
No wonder he_shrinks from Pat's
approach,and learns to kick and bite.
He is in a proper school to
. become
vicious. Here is a curry-comb, cut
out of a brass plate, with sharp saw
teeth, and as unyielding as a saw.
Think of such a tool going over bones
not too thickly covered . with flesh,and
ripping up old sores- r Is it at all
strange that there is a chronic-state
of bad feeling between Pat and the
poor brute, that is literally harrowed
every day under the mistaken notion
of cleaning ?—The. old fsshianed wool
card, with small brass teeth, inserted
in leather, had some flexibility when
carefully handled, answered a good
purpose, but was rather too stiff.
The card with an India-rubber back;
fitted to the hand by a strap, is the
latest and best invention in this line.
It adapts itself perfectly under the
hand, to all the little inequalities of
the skin, and gives gentle friction
without tearing. With a good brush,
nothing better needed.. If the
horses and cows could have a conven
tion, I have no doubt they would pass
a vote of thanks, or make the invent
or a Justice of the Peace. It certain
ly promotes peace between man and
beast, and makes the daily cleaning a
luxury, - instead of a torment. My
animals come around me for their
'regular cleaning, with as much inter
est as they come for their fodder.
They certainly understand the differ
ence between hatchels and cards, be
tween_ harrowing and cleaning. They
thrive well under this treatment, and
though it takes considerable time, I
doubt if it could be spent more to
their profit or mine.
Yours to Command,
TIMOTHY BUNKER, Esq.

PRICE OF FARMING LANDS.—"J.
K. S." "I notice that farms are sold
in the Carolinas for five dollars an acre,
and in Lancaster county, Pa., for two
hundred and upwaids. What makes
the difference,' and how can we make
the cheap lands in this vicinity worth
two hundred ?" —Lands are worth, for
cultivation, any sum that they will pay
the interest on. The Carolina lands do
not now pay the interest on five dol
-1 lars, and the Lancaster county farms
' do pay the interest on $2OO per acre.
The difference is not altogether owing
Ito quality of soil. Good neighborhood
security for property,healthful climate,
facility for getting manures and for
marketing farm products, all affect the
price of land. In the South, land is
plenty, and the workers with capital
few. In Pennsylvania, the workers
are many, and they all want land. Of
course, the price goes up. Bring in
more workers who have capital, and.
improve your cultivation, and the price
of land will increase. A very interest
ing problem for the farmer to solve is
—how to' make an acre of average land
pay the interest on $2OO.
How TO START A FARMERS' CLUB.
—"G. L. C.," Dennis, Mass.—" Can
you tell us how to start and manage a
Farmers' Club ?"—This is one of the
things that ought to go of itself in
any farming community. Call a meet
ing without delay. It is not necessa
ry to have constitution or any officers
but a chairman, who may be provided
for in alphabetical order of the names.
Propose a subject, invite in the
neighbors, and let each man have his
five or ten minutes, talk upon it. It
will be found very profitable to corn.
pare notes. If men from other call
ings will come in and give their out—
side views of farming operations, it
will he all the 'better.—American Ag
riculturist.
BUCKWHEAT FOR MILCH COWS.-
"M. W. P„" Canada. 'What do
you think of buckwheat for cows,
and would you feed it dry, or wet it
up with cut hay or straw?"--Buck
wheat is excellent provender for all
cattle and swine. It is more com
monly ground up with corn and oats,
and the meal fed in connection with
cut hay or straw.—American, Agri
culturist.

Grant must create a wish among all classes
to be well informed at every step in • the ca

THE DAILY COMMERCIAL,

common remark—that locally it has caused
a revolution in journalism, and it exerts an
