(_'OJ.OK OK HORSE*.—A proverb says, " A
good horse cannot Ixi of a had color." I)o
--i ■ appears ♦. har • <!.-• of niul
ti| r lie cuio.' of animal*. Tlic prevailing
• olor of wilil s|K'cics is a bright Imy ; but Fos
ter says that among the troops lie saw in Cen
tral Asia, tlie dun and grayish-brown colors
were most frequeut. Hell judges the chest
nut to be the most common in Tartarian dis
tricts. Sir Francis Head states that many of
the horses of the Panama are piebald. The
black is rarely found among the Arabians. —
The leopard spotted horse is said to be Ire
queiit in China. In England it ranges from
milk white to coal black. Some pi rsons arc
inclined to give the preference to dark colors,
from tlie fact that among animals generally,
the lighter the skin the weaker the energy.
Lord Paeon seeius to have entertained the
same idea, when he asserted white to be the
color of defect.
A modern writer asks and answers the fol
lowing question :
Why are horses with white legs and feet less
valuable than those which have them not ?
Because even in wet soil and climate, white
hoofs are more liable to accident and lameness
than black ones, and in stony soil white hoofs
are much more liable to break and contract
than those of a dark color.
Another writer says white feet and a white
face on a horse are indications of physiologi
cal conditions, not favorable for endurance or
any other good quality. They are in fact in
dications of a scrofulous tendency.
CnossiNG PIIEKP. —For upwards of fifty
vears I have seen a trreat deal of crossing- the
different kiuas of sheep-—Leicester* with Lei
cester*. Leicester* with I'otswohls, Leicester*
with South-Downs, and Leicester* with many
other kinds of sheep. I have always found
the Bakewell or Leicester sheep to improve
every kind they have been put to, hy giving
them the Bakewell barrel form, small bono,
and to feed at early maturity. The first cross
in most animals has been proved the best; the
next cross generally* produces size and weight,
except you put a gigantic animal to the first
cross ; when I say gigantic I do not mean an
animal made a giant with fat flesh, with the
head and ears of a dwarf upon hint—l mean a
giant in frame when in a lean state, with bone
in proportion, aye, and a head and ears in
proportion to his body—a long, thin head, and
not a gigantic broad one. (Hants do not pro
duce dwarfs, neither do dwarfs produce giants,
any more than bulldogs produce greyhounds.
It has been proved that a gigantic ram lias
been produced from a dwarf ewe ; at the same
time it was ] roved that a giant ram lay in the
adjoining field, which very easily accounted
for the giant being produced from a dwarf.—
It lias always been said that like produces like,
and a fine bone denotes a feeding propensity :
and a long face and ears, with a Roman nose,
denotes a large breed. The breeders of Lin
colnshire sheep say that neither the Dotswolds
nor the Downs mix well with their heavy
wooled sheep, hut a dip of the Leicester docs
wonders. So says the far-famed Mr. Kirkham,
of Hagnabv, Mr. Bakewell always said that
extremes were bad, and that the middle-sized
animals answer the best for profits. But,
above all things, said Mr. 8., let an animal's
make be in proportion—not very large in one
point and very deficient in another. Size has
nothing to do with profit ; it was not what
an animal made, so much as what it cost mak
ing. Tlie Lincolnshire farmers are second to
no men in the improvement of waste lands ;
the Wolds, Lincoln Heath, and the Fens, for
instance ; the lower parts are now drained hy
steam engines. And the breed of sheep which
tin v have is the most profitable for tlie:" coun
try. ' -r,c (TsOiidoiij
FATTENING llocs. When your liogs are at
first taken up for fattening they should re
ceive two or three doses of flour of sulphur,
and as many of copperas, say a tablespoonful
at a dose, to be given in messes of a bran or
meal, made into slop at intervals of a day
apart.—Their food for tlie first two or three
week* should be pumpkins, apples and roots,
or other vegetables which should be boiled or
steamed and made into mashes with bran or
meal, tlie latter should lie increased from dav
to day so that when they come to have corn,
or meal altogether, the change of diet may not
be injuriously felt by them.
In connection with the subject of feeding
grain, we would remind our readers that ground
corn meal cooked will go 30 per cent farther
in fattening hogs than will raw grain whole,
and the whole grain when boiled, will go 10
or 20 per cent farther than when not boiled.
During the entire period of fattening, the
hogs should be regularly supplied with chtir
eonl, ashes, rotten irood and salt.
The better animals are fed, and the better
they are kept, the more profitable they are.
It is said that small twigs of cedar, chop
ped fine and mixed with their grain, will cure
a cough iti horses, and that this has beeu us
ed with complete success.
Coreu i.x ITORSES. —We once had a horse
that had caught a bad cold, and coughed so
severely that he could be heard half a mile.—
All sorts of remedies were proposed, enough
we should think, to kill any good horse out
right. These remedies were all rejected, (al
though some might have proved useful,) and
the following course persued. The horse was
in the first place very careful and moderately
used, so as never to produce perspiration—lie
he was carefully blanketed when the weather
was cold, (it was about mid-autumn,) or when
lie was in the least degree heated—he was
kept constantly on green and succulent food,
clover, roots, &c, and was supplied with a
plenty of tlie l>est water at all times. In a
few weeks lie was perfectly well. It is an old
saying that more depends on the nurse than
on tlie phusitiin, which was verified in this
instance.— Cultivator.
THE MEADOWS OF AMERICA. Governor
Wright, of Indiana, says that our grass crop
is not properly appreciated. No crop ap
proaches so near a spontaneous yield, ami none
yields so large a profit. The hay crop of the
United States in 1850 he estimates at 14.
000,000 tons ; that for 1855, he estimates at
15,000,000 tons, which is worth J 150,000,
000 ; while the whole cotton crop is valued
at only $l2B, 000,000. The grass crop which
is used for jiasturago is at least as valuable;
NO that siugle herb is worth annually over S3OO,
000,000. *
