1 kt-ly to think seriously of the feai.
Oihty of adding still mote to its feed

I'hst this will | love profitable Ah. 11
the size of Hie herd is sufTh-icnt to
nrrant the necessary outlay for
tixUin * and nttemlance wc have ssid
before, and rejeat with emphasis.
Where llns |a irripiaclieahlc the feed
may be alrno*t c joally as well pie
pared by simply scaldingjjwith hot
water. Most fnimcrs have an iron
kettle holding a barrel or more.
Where this is set in s brick >r stone
furnace, as it always should be, Un
healing of a bairel of water is a mat
ter of small moment. Have a tight
Imix large enough to hold one feed
for all the stock, with room to span
for proper mixing. Put in the re
quired amount of ttie cut fishier
and pour on it a sufficient amount of
the boiling water to thoroughly
moisten it; then put on whalcvei
chop or oil meal is to tic fed at tin
same lime, and mix thoroughly
through the fodder. Pack it all
closely in one end of the Ihix, put on
a tight lid, and leave it" for twelve
hours. This requires that the morn
ing feed shall Ire prepared the even
ing before, and that fed in the even
ing prepared in the morning of the
same day. Where the herd is not
to<i large, and the stable so warm as
to prevent fivexing, the entire day's j
feed may lie prepared st once. This
is our own practice, and we find our
advantage in iL
Acclimating a Plow.
rfertOUa Cnloa.
If there are any farmers w ho found
Inst spring that their plows did not
work as well as they ought, and
could not understand the reason, they
may find some assistance towards an
explanation in the following account
that Henry Ward Heecher givea in
his "Frulta, Flowers and Farming"
of s dream which the. sight of an un
used and abused plow once gave turn :
"The other day we were riding
past a large fariu, and were much
gratified at a device of the owner for
the preservation of his tools. A good
plow, up|iarenily new in the spiiug,
had la-en left in the corner of the
field, standing in the furrow just
where, four months la-fore, the Imy
had finished Ida tlinl.
Probably the titular m illed season
ing—il was certainly getting It, Per- j
hup* it wu* left out for acclimation.
.May be the farmer left it there to
save time, In the hurry of the spring
Work, i„ dragging it from the shed.
Perhaps lie covered the share to keep
it front the elements, and save it
from ruNting. Or, again, perhaps he
ii troubled with neighbors that bor
row, and has left it where il would lie
coincident |„r them. lie might at
least have built a little shed over it.
Han any one tell what a farmer leaves
a plow out a whole season for?
After we got t<> sleep that night,
we dreamed a drenin. We went into
that man's bain ; hoards were kicked
"If, paitiliou* were bull'broken down,
ruck* broken, lluor a foot deep with
manure, hay trampled under foot and
wasted, grain squandered. The wag
•Hl iiad not been hauled under the
shed, though it was raining. The
ll . 1 lies* wa-. hcaUelr l alioul—— haines
II .me place, il.e bieechuig in anolhci
—the lines Were ued as halters. We
•lent to the Loiiac. A shed stood
uurd-by, in which a family wagou was
kept f'o. wife mid daughter* to go to
town in. I tie hem hud uppropt iated
it as a rooit, and, however plain it
was once, it was oiiiitnenU-d now,
iiiTiib- and out.
Me peeped into the smokc-booso
hut of all the * fixing*" that we c\er
!w ! A I'hincie museum i* nothing

hat we awoke—and lo! it was a
lieatn. So that the man who left hi*
plow out all season may live in the
neatest house in the county, for all
that we knew ; only, was it not
-I aiigr that we should have dreamed
all this from Jut seeing a plow left
out in a furrow ?"
Caro of F*rm Horsea.
HrMfr'* (liumi*
That there 11 often cruelty in the
| management of running and trotting
horses is unquestionably true; hut
that, in the aggregate, tluye is mote
cruelty to, and more suffering by
farm horses, we have no shadow of
doubt. This cruelly is often the %■-
-ult of ihouglillesMieas, sometime* of
ignorsuce—sometime*, unfortunately,
from sheer brutality.
We recently had sn opportunity of
examining horses 011 two adjoining
htrui*. Those on one were fat, per
hap* too fat, their hair, eyes, and
general appearance ind cated ginid
health and good feeding. They were
not well groomed, and had hardly
sufficient exercise. The other horses
were smaller, were thin in (1 sb, with
, staring coats, dull eyes, with evi
dences of a feverish condition. Yet
the owner explained Dial lie fed them
| ten or twelve vara of corn three times
a day, with hay, while his neighbor
fed not more than half a* much of
corn and oats, and not any more hay.
Here wns a case of costly, uninlcn
tional cruelty. The lioraes were over
fed. They were making poor use of
I lie grain, and were living injured by
what they ate. Over feeding of farm
horses is not an uncommon form ol
cruelty.
Ka|iccially in wrinter, frm horses
are apt to lie very irregularly fed;
sometimes kept fasting from early
morning until night; ilien allowed to
gorge themselves. It is not a had
plan during the short days of winter
when work is not regularly done, and
when a tea u is occasionally to 1
driven lo the neigh Inning town—
thus being away from home at the
middle of the day—to give grain
only at morning and night, allowing
the horses liny or "rough fodder'*
during the day. This makes the U*k
of the midday feeding less objection
able.
Bf needles* exposi {c many Carta
hoi sen *iir-r much in winter. A
horse in good health, and well fv,|,
will endure great cold and severe
storms ; hut il i, nec<>rlli<-U-**, cruel
ty to leave a horse un blanketed and
exposed to a strong wind in winter
perhaps for houra, and, perhaps, after
he has been warmed hy hard driving.
Winter Calve a.
Nti'n.l Uu tu* k J..U1H.1
A Wisconsin dairyman asks if
there can la; any profit in raising late
fall or winter calves. This question
is now very pertinent, since winter
dairy ing is liecoming common. Jim.
ter lienrs a higher price in winter;
" n 'l t ' li induces dairymen to have
their calves dropped in the full. Let
us examine the expense account.
Some think the cold weather will add
much to the cost of keeping the
calves; but this probably j, a mis
tale, as the following considerations
sill show The milk, after tasking
butter in winter, is in letter condi
tion than in senium r, and is eldom
-our and in .y always u- l. l ,w.t.
Calves l.ept in warm quotr* will
make more growth upon the same
quantity of milk in winter than in
summer, on account of .is belter
quality, and 1 < iu-c, br ing f. d on
Hay, they seldom tcour or bavc any
trouble of stotiiacb.
We have no In-it ition in Rating
that calves, w.|| eared b>r, will make
abetUr growth on mot i-kim-milk
and bay in winter, tliuii on r<,ur skim
milk and grass j„ suu,ii„ r . Then il
uitisi be profitable to raise winter
calves for Is-, f ; f„ r . as we I, ite seen,
they will IMI heavier and cot no
nore. And if lit-ifcfs are raiser! for
the dairy, and come in at two \<ars
•Id, they will cost less raised from
fall calves than spring calves; for in
the former case, as w.- have 5,.,. n , the
irt winter costs no more than sum
mer keep, find so theic is only the
extra cost of one w inter Irefore the
Hrtf. r drop* h< r calf and Incomes a
producing cow. Mosti|.,ir\men who
believe in full feeding, and, therefore
raise heifer* of good growth, also
tielieve in e*rly maternity, that the
milking habit may IK devclojH'.l eailv.
-Hie general opinion of the lest
lairymen is that a en*', at four \ears
old, will give more milk if she cornea
,n at two than at three year* old.
I here can, therefore, IK- no valid ob
jection to the caising of winter calves
where il i* foUii 1 pioGtahle to make
winter butter. And this ia likely to
extend year by year ; for the general
taste seems %• prefer fresh butter to
that which lias IK-CI, kept half a tear.
