From National Lira Slock Journal In this month begin the cold winds and storms that uslier in the winter, and the prudent farmer and merciful man, who is merciful to bis beast, wilt see to it that his horses, young and old, are not only having an in creased ration, but protecting sbelter. Jn proper bands, the spring colts have been thoroughly weaned from their dams, trained to lead (not bro ben") taught to eat oats, corn, bay, and, if it can be spared, sweet or sour milk. They have bad provided for their use a warm but well-venti lated shed or stable, opening into a good-sized lot, or, what is better, a pasture, having in it water and green grass or rye. Keeping them tied at nigbt is not even necessary or desirable, and, with generous supplies of bright, early-cut hay, as free as possible from dust, a reasonable ra tion of bright, plump oats—that will be better for having half their weight of crushed shelled corn mixed with them during the extremely cold weather—with n lump of rock salt i accessible in their feed boxes, good water convenient, and lilierty to romp and play at will, they will grow in size, benuty of form, and greater value each hour, and also give that satisfaction to their owner which is more precious than money. The mothers of these colts are, in all likelihood, poor in flesh and spirit, or, to use a phrase understood by every farmer, "suckled down," especially if they have made half a team at the reaper, mower, plow, harrow, and drill, as is probably the case, and they need to be built tip with some thing more invigorating than, being tied in a stall, to pull hay down from a coop above their heads, and gnaw flinty corn from cobs lliat will not yield it up except to violence. They, too, like the colts, need liberty, good feed in variety, and, if possible, some thing green, at least occasionally. All kinds of horse stock are very fond of bright, sweet corn-fodder ; it is somewhat laxative, serves as an excellent change from hay, and is of great value when, from any cause, the hay has been poorly cured, or dam- i aged by ra'ns or frost. Kvery farm-! er knows how lioises of all ages en joy running in n reecnUv-liu*k<;U J cornfield, and how well lliey t'ofive there daring tbc early part of winter. The animals that are worked are not nearly so liable to tieWKglected ; hut even these are treaUsf on too tuany larma in away that, at the least, can not lie called h-s than cruel. One phase of the barbarity they are sub jected to is the diet of dry, hard corn two or three times per day, day in and day out, month in and month | out, until their fevered, disordered bodies mskn their lives a burden ; another is, keeping them standing in a stall not cleaned out until the ma nure is so banked up under their hind feet that their fore quarters stand from twelve to eighteen inches the lowest, throwing their entire di gestive ami assiroilativeorganizations into such an unnatyral position that the proper performance of their func tions is impossible ; still another is in keeping them tied in gloomy, hay or straw-covered stables, that not only leak in time of a storm, but for days afterwards, when, out of doors, the westher msy lie dry and pleasant It Is small wonder that, under this treatment, with its combinations and variations, well known in the West ern States, the horses cough, have rheumatism, the scratches, grease heel; and are hide-liound, long-hair ed, wormy, and weak nbout the time for beginning spring work ; or that at nine or ten years they are appro priately denominated "old plugs." Against all this abuse, so cruel, and so unprofitable, the Journal enters its protest, and pleads for more ra tional, decent treatment of man's most noble servants. (live them a chance for their lives; give them a chance to be sturdy, vigorous, nnd useful at twenty-five years, instead of being broken down, or "stove up," at ten ; give them a chance at a va riety of wholesome food; at the grass, the dry, clean shelter, the sun shine, and the brook ; in fact, any thing that may make them less mis erable and more comfortable j if for no other reason, or higher motive, do it became it pay*. In the long run, it la always |ure to do that. If farmer* would understand that It is only the extra food that pro duces growth, or that pays anything, tbey would never raise a $5 calf, nor would tbey ever starve cattle or bogs. MANI BXH containing ammonia must not be mixed with alkaline ashes, else some of tho ammonia will be lost. Farming xa an Oooupation. Il'ili Owrgt tiiaMal, In Aniof kAO AjrlmlUjrl.t Boys raised in elties and surfeited with schools, often imagine that they would like to be farmers. Let them follow the example I have given, only extending it through a whole year, taking the same relative positions that they would be forced to take in learning any other busiaesa. Begin at the bottom, stepping on the lowest rounds of the ladder, and touching every one, until the top is reached. This is the way to qualify a man for managing a farm. Young men who have taken this way of learning farm ing, though their early years have been passed along paved streets, and in schools, have mode some of our most successful farmers. There is another road that is often taken, but not often with lasting sat isfaction. Buy. or otherwise acquire u farm, subscribe for several agricul tural papers, purchase books on farming, hire a farmer, purchase a full set of tools and machinery. Learn by ex|>erimcnt, and if your money and zeal last long enough, and you work hard, you will finally make a good farmer, but your educa tion w ill be a costly one. I knew a case quite like this : A farmer's son was "educated" as people say. He bad bis four years of classical study allowed liirn by a rule of the Court, and spent nearly bis three year's in a lawyer's office, when circumstances made it necessary for bim to go to bis father's house, and assume the management of nearly one thousand acres of land—perhaps one-third of it called "improvedthat is, It bad been partly cultivated. Log heaps, piles of stones, clumps of bushes, and swampy places adorned the fields. The owner was just twenty-one years old—without other knowledge of practical farming than such as be had acquired in observing the rude processes of that long ago time, dar ing vacation, and one summer with the hired men when a lad of sixteen years. He found bis lands in the occupancy of tenants, who must re main for one season. He went into the fields with these tenants and worked without other compensation, than instiuclion in the nse of tools, and devoted the season to try ing to learn enough to justify his attempt ing the management of the farm. The next year he assumed direction. Foremen were not yet invented to help incompetent farmers. He had a team, plow, etc., for bis own use, and and fur a while worked with bis men, but soon learned that seventy-five cents a day would pay n better man than be was for holding a plow, and that bis eyes to overlook the whole work, were worth more than bis bands driving a team. The Cellar for Plants. Fr-•• Aiu*ri r -sB Aptvollri#t. Many who have no greenhouse, and cannot afford the room in the 'dwelling for them, would gladly keep certain lender or half hardy plants through tho winter. For such pur j pone a cellar answers aduiiinblv. ! Indeed, we know of florists who have j constructed cellars expressly for keep- J ing plants through the winter. It is | not exiteclcd, nor is it desirable, that | planta in the cellar should grow. They are merely to I* kept—put fo | sleep, as it were, until the return of . spring makes it save lo place thorn | out again. I'lants in the cellar, while they should never be wet, ought not j to get dust-dry, hence they must lie | looked to occasionally during the winter months. Vol K correspondent who asks how to manage a tliff clay coil ought to have heard that subject discussed at our Farmers 1 Club. It was shown in the first place that this kind of soil was all right when new and first brought into use by man, and il man has let it so deteriorate under his band it should now be his ambition by all means to restore it to as good a state of fertility and friability as that in which bu found it. One farmer said he did not think It necessary to ever have such soil become ao atiflT, and that he thought he could control its mechanical condition almost wbolly by tillage -given at the proper lime, that always between the very wet and very dry is an interval when it can lie worked as easily and to as fine, mellow condition as sandy soils, and that when so worked and the after tillage done also at the pro|*r time, such soil will never work hard and lumpy. lie has a field with seven clay knolls in it that usually by midsummer, when breaking for wheat, are so hard as to be almost impossi ble to plough, and then they break into hard, lumpy condition, but last year at the proper lime be scarified these knolls with a laud-tooth wheel drag, then when he ploughed in mid summer the knolls were as mellow as other parts of the field. [Henry Ives, (icneccc county, X. V. W UK* fattening an animal for beef let the proceaa be aa quick aa potel ble. Any stint in feeding will uiak# the meat tough and dry, Stall-fed animals will fatten mors readily than others, and young animals require richer food than older ones. "A TASTS" for beee, or poultry, or country lite, Is a very different thing from the pluck, or the skill, and the care which go to make a man's 'taste' prod active. Feeding YoUbg Colta. OimtfoaiUmt of Halkxjoi UreSlock Jmntal. Young colta require grain the first year of their lives at least. They need the most nutritious food when weaned from their mother's milk. The use of cereals will prevent check ing the growth of young animals arising from the audden change of food. If the)- are stinted in food at this juncture, they may never recover from its elfccls. Extra food and care in growing young stock will lie more than paid for in early maturity, and in their future growth and develop ment. Well-fed stock look robust and healthy. They put on an even development of carcass, and there fore become more perfect in form than iil-fed strck. Beautiful form is a measure of value. The starveling looks sickly and emaciated, worn out with hunger before he is matured. They glow one end one year and the other the next year, and are therefore out of all proportion. They have not had sufficient food to supply the nat ural waste of the body, aud to re plenish the blood with living matter, to be deposited in the remotest parts of the body to nourish and invigor ate its growth into full-matured form. Colts half-starved when young, grow up with lank bodies, long legs, nar row chests, and deformed quarters. Good Farming. It is one sign of a good farmer if be prizes manure. It does not re quire a good farmer to raise bounti ful crops on a farm already rich, but the art lies in so managing the farm that it will produce good crops every year without losing its fertility. A man may make money from his farm while be is waßtfui of fertilizers, but he is not a good farmer, for he is con stantly running his farm into debt. Good farming consists of such man agement as will make the farm pro duce the best possible r. suits with out deteriorating the soil. This can only be accomplished by a rigid econ omy in the making and use of ma nure, and a systematic rotation of crops that will be the least exhaus tive to the soii. The Correct Thing. Many a batch oi cream has been churned upon for hours with no ap parent effect, because it was not properly tempered, although the thermometer recorded CO 3 . Half the world cannot understand, and the other half will not, that the thermom eter may indicate 60° in a batch of cream, and not a single globule of the butter fat be heated above 45 or 50®.
