Look after the Coarse Fodder.
Nothing is more common in the fields and
barn-yards of our farmers, than to see quanti
ties of straw, corn-stalks, and coarse litter ly
ing kicking about the cattle's feet, and in piles
along the fences, where a little of it is nosed
over by the stock, and the rest trodden under
foot aud wasted.
This is all wrong, and as unnecessary as
wrong. Every particle of coarse fodder, even
to buckwheat, pea and bean straw, should be
carefully foddered out, for in certain portions
of the Winter, if the stuff be well saved and
clean, the cattle, sheep, and horses will con
sume it all. If the racks under the sheds arc
not sufficient to hold it, we build cobble pens
of rails, poles, or coars-e limbs, in the yards, or
adjoining fields, and curry out, or haul with a
wagon, cart, or sled, as the case may be, the
litter, and pitch it into them. To these, in
good weather—not in rain or snow storms —
we drive the stock, and never had any difficul
ty in their eating all. or the most of it, even
when they fed on good hay ovei night in their
stables and sheds.
Sometimes, when the straw is not bright,
by sprinkling on a little brine the stock will
cat it clean, when otherwise they would hard
ly touch it. It is of no use to say, that such
fodder does the stock no good. We know
better. Anything that the cattle eat with a
relish dee* do thein good. Cold bright weath
er is the time to feed out of all coarse fodder,
and it is wrong to waste a single handful that
any creature you have will consume.
SETTING FENCE POSTS. —We hear frequent
complaints of the perishableness of fence posts
set in the ordinary way. Aud to the
suggestion that the lower ends of the posis
should be charred, it is replied that while
charring benefits the outside of the timber, it
cracks it open so that water penetrates the
wood still further, and causes a rapid decay
in the interior.
Let us, then, make another suggestion.—
Char the lower end ol the post for eighteen
Inches or two feet, so that about six inches of
the charred part will be above the surface of
the ground. Have in readiness a kettle of
hot coal tar, (a cheap article,) and plunge it
into the lower end of ea< b post ; or apply it
into the crevices. A second application is de
sirable, as soon as the first becomes drv, and
will make the timber water-proof for many
years to come.
CI RE FOR LICK ON CATTLE, COLTS AND PIGS.
During winter, farm stock are apt to get
lousy. The following articles w ill drive away,
or kill the lice :
Ist. Soft grease, of any kind, and Scotch
snuff—an ounce of snufi' to a pound of grease
—mixed and rubbed in among the hair, on the
affected parts. If you have not the snufi", use
the grease without it. It will effect a cure.
We have tried it.
2d. Powdered charcoal, or coal dust, sifted
into the hair.
3d. Ashes from the blacksmith's forge, sift
ed into the hair.
For lice on swine or pigs. Pour buttemilk
along their backs,freely, so that it will trickle
in little streams down their sides.
These all have been tried, with entire suc
cess, so that uo one need have an excuse for
lousy stock.
If sheep get tidy during the winter, open
the wool along their backs, and sprinkle in a
little Scotch snuff, from the head to the tail.
A table-spoonful is quite enough for the larg
est sheep, and from that down to a tea-spoon
ful for a lamb.
To PREVENT SNOW DRIFTS BY FEVCFS.—
Such drifts are generally caused by an eddy
or lull of the wind, occasioned by meeting with
high tight fences. To obviate this, one can
either take down his fence at the approach of
Winter, or, what is better, build a very open
fence which will not obstruct the wind. A
wire fence will answer a very good purpose,
but as this does not always work well in oth
er respects, the same end may be gained by
building a fence with quite narrow boards.—
Have them sawed one inch thick and four
inches wide. Set the posts firmly, three feet
in the ground. Leave a space of three inches
between the bottom board and the ground :
four inches between that and the second board ;
five inches between the second and third, and
nine inches between the fourth and fifth.—
This makes a fence four feet and a few inches
high, which answers every purpose of protec
tion, and does Dot occasion the formation of
snow-banks. Considering the great inconven
ience, and even danger, caused by drifts, which
are often piled up along the highway, in some
localities, above the neighboring fences, we
think this suggestion an important one.
THE CRANBERRY AS AN ORNAMENTAL PLANT.
—No plant of its size can equal the Cranber
ry in beauty. Its leaves of rich dark green j n
summer, changed to reddish brown in winter,
remain on the plants through the year. The
thread-like stalks stand erect and mat close
like moss. They would form a border some
what resembling box, and would require only
an occasional trimming off of the runners to
keep them in form for years. From the last
of June to the 10th July they are in blossom
being thickly interspersed with the most beau
tiful transparent pale pink flowers. The flovv
rs are succeeded, as if by magic, with berries
at first green, but soon changing to a bright
.r iinson scarlet, covering the plants in a pro
fusion unequalled by any other fruit, having
produced three bushels of berries to the square
rod. The berries will remain on the vines
through the year.
I may be enthusiastic, but have never seen
any plant that would so soon attract attention
as the cranberry plant. When iu blossom,
its bell-shaped flowers, suspended by a hair
like stern, almost seem the work of some fairy ;
and then the berries, two. three, and on some
varieties five, attached by the same hair-like
stems to the parent staik, itself only the fifth
part the size of a straw, excites one's sympa
thy lest the fruit break the parent stalks", and
we at once see the wisdom of their clustering
so close together,thereby being enabled to bear
their crimson loads of berries.
If the uature of the cranberry was fully un
derstood, it would be found in every " Coun
try (i entlemanV* yard as well as in field cul
ture. They draw their sustenance from water
a small quantity of which is absolutely neces
sary to sustaiu the plants iu bearing condi
tion. T]je air always contains sufficient mois
ture in the proper for.n for the cranberry
plant in any location II L. I).— Country

IT gives immediate relief from pain, and in as qniek a
time as it is possible for this disease to lie affected, it
ho&ls the wounds gradually and safely, after extracting
all poisonous matter, until a ja-nnauent cure is made.
ITS NAME
As its name imports, this Ointment is of Swiss Origiu,
and is the most remarkable Ointment for curing old Sores
and Bad Legs ever known. Its curing properties seem
to be perfectly irresistible.
The receipt for making this rare medicine, was ob
tained from James Roudon, an old Swiss tar maker in
North Carolina, who brought it with him from Switzer
land.
AS A FAMILY SALVE,
it has no equal, both in its powers for doing good, and
its extreme neatness as a
CLEAN, SWEET, PURE, PLEASANT OINTMENT,
healing without the least injury everything to which it
is applied.
MOTHERS USE IT
for their Caked. Broken and Inflamed Brea-ts with charm
ing success. Thousands of Mothers are thi day blessing
: tbe hour in which tbev first applied the GOOD SWISS
SALVE.
SALT RHEI'M
i and SCROFULOUS SORES and Swellings it rapidly
j cures by striking at the root of the disease and drawing
the humors to the surface. IT NEVER DRIVES THEM IN
! WARD! Under all circumstances ol' the case
IT IS SAFE!
Good Swiss Salve cures Felons.
Good Swiss Salve cures Piles.
Good Swiss Salve cures Burns.
Good Swiss Salve cures Bruises.
Good Swiss Salve cures Flesh Wounds.
Good Swiss Salve cures Toothache.
IN SHORT.
ft fr Wherever Pain or Inflarnation exist, apply the
GOOD SWISS SALVE, and you will find relief.
475" This Salve is put up in LARGER BOXES than
Ointment in general, at '2.7 i ts. It is also put up in large
China pots, for the accommodation of Families and those
who use it for Fever Sores where several boxes tuay he
required, as it is one half cheaper. A pot holds 8 boxes
and selis for one dollar. Hundreds of families keep it in
this convenient form as a necessary household article.
