To Fatten Horses.
Every horseman knows that a horse looks
twenty per cent better if fattened in a short
time thuu if several months arc employed in
the process. I don't believe in loading a
horse down with fat—they do better in medi
Jim condition. A horse, if not very thin, can
be pnt in tine condition in three weeks Unt
a narrow-headed, yard-necked, narrow-breast
ed, light quartered animal, if he has never been
fat, will give you a two or three month s task,
and he will look better for all the flesh 3011
may put 011 him.
To fattcu a poor horse quickly .is no easy
t isk. ft is to be done by a variety of the
best feed, and with close attention in giving
it. Many persons feed sufficiently liberal,
and yet their horses are low in flesh, simply
because of the carelcssuess and irregular man
ner in which it is given out. W hen I wish to
fatten a poor horse, I put his stable in a
clean and neat condition, and commence by
giving him small feeds of corn or oats, (which
ever he takes the best,) every two hours
from the time of risiug iu the morning till 1
retire at night—say six or eight feeds a day
—taking care so as to feed that he will always
eat with a relish, and be hungry for the next
meal. At 110 time do I suffer his food to lay
by him ; if he leaves any I take it from him
and let him stand till he asks for it. For the
first ten days I am careful not to let him get
all he will eat. There is no better way of
getting a horse's appetite up to the fattening
poiut than to feed very often of good, clean
feed. By paying strict attention for ten days,
you will have him fairly under way ; and this
is the most difficult part of the task. If at
any time he gets cloyed, so that he refuses to
eat, let him staud till he gets hungry.
During this time his stable must be lent
elcau and comfortable, lie should have a
little hay, but as much pure soft water as lie
will drink three times a day. Salt all the
time at his will. He must be curried thorough
ly once every day. Few men curry a horse
as it should be done. Take your curry-comb
firmly in your hand and with it make a quick
motion back aud forth, pass all over your
horse, getting to the skin, and removing the
dirt therefrom ; then pass all over more
geutly with comb and brush, replacing the
hair, and finish with the naked hand —putting
every hair to its place.
Never give medicine of any kind—you can
succed better without. If I wish to reduce
a horse in flesh in the least possible time, I
should bleed and physic. If you have time to
spare, it will better employed in scalding or
grinding your grain, and feeding warm mashes,
Ac. It appears that friend Munson ias little
faith in our no-doctoring advice. If he finds
the oil to answer, I adivse him to stick to it,
for if he docs nothing worse than to pour
a pint of grease down a horse that has a touch
of be'ly-ache, he will hardly loose any. 1
have knowu it employed f°r thirty years—it
is like mush to a stoue bruise—dues no good
or harm.— Prarie Farmer.
POTATO BREAD. —A lady correspondent at
the West, whom we recognised as a good wri
ter in days of yore, when we were schoolmates
together, sends us the directions below. We
are partial to well-made " potato bread".
It may not be generally known that the starch
in potatoes is a healthful and admirable snb
titute for " hog's fat" in making bread tender
or" short," as well as sweet. We suppose it
breaks up and overcomes the toughness of the
glutei), abundant in all flour, and especially
in that grown at the South.— ED.
" On the aftcruon proceeding baking day,
prepare the yeast as for any bread—hop yeast
or brewer's emptyings. With the supper fire,
boil some cleanly washed, impeded potatoes,
say twelve medium-sized potatoes, .for two
common loaves. One advantage here is that
" small potatoes" can he used. When done,
pour off the water; peel and mash theui well,
stir in from a pint tu a quart of tionr, accor
ding to their moisture, an 1 let it scald ten
minutes. Then add sufliceut cold water to
make the mixture milk-warm. Add the pre
pared vcast, and let it stand in a warm place
over night. A common tin pail answers well
for the mixture. In the morning, strain the
whole through a coarse seivc or cullender in
to the flour. Stir into stiff sponge or batter,
and let it rise ; then mix iuto dough, adding
11 tea spoonful of salaratus, and as much salt.
Leave it in one loaf to rise again, keeping it
in a warm place. When light this time,
mould into loaves, and put into pans for bak
ing. Now, if not made too hard, it only needs
to stand fifteen minutes or half an hrur, be
fore it is ready for the oven. Bake nicely,
and you have a loaf worthy of a baker.—Amer
ican Agriculturist, April,
To PROTECT DRIF.D FRUITS. —If fruit is put
into good linen or cotton bugs, and tied up
tightly immediately after drying, and baked a
couple of times during the season, by putting
the bags on a board ia the oven moderntelj
warm, keepiug them in a dark closet in the
meantime the worms will not disturb tlicm.
Another excellent way to procure them from
worms, is to procure empty litjuor barrels and
pack them in, after drying in the full, and cov
er theui up tight, or put them in other bar
rels, and add a little whiskey or brandy as you
fill them up.
ABOUT — A swarm of bees' in tlieir na
tural state contains from 10,000 to 50,000 of
the insects, while in hives they number from
50,000 to 40,000. In a square foot of honey
comb there are about 0,000 cells. A queen
bee lays her egg, for fifty or sixty consecutive
liays, laying about 500 daily. In one season
a single queen bcc hatches about 100,000 bees.
It takes 5,000 bees to weigh a pound.
INDIAN PCDDIXU. —Take eight table spoon
fuls of fine Indian meal; pour into it one
quart of boiling milk, with six eggs, one nut
meg, and six onuccs of butter. Bake this
quantity in three common sized dishes.
DITCII DITFKT.—(For tea,) one pint of milk;
three eggs ; one cup of butter ; a teaspoon
of aaluratus j flour enough to make a spoon
stand in it ; half a cup of brewer's yeast.
This is better than sally luun.
