Wintering Stock.
fold winds and .the "sere and yellow leaf r
of riutmun forcibly remind the farmer of the
necessity of early forethought. and ample pro
vision for the care of his stock through the
coming winter. Ujjon the economical andsn -
cess fill manner in whitm this is accomplished
depends, quite as much us upon any other
tiling, his success in stock growing and in farm
lug. "The merciful man is merciful to his
beast," and will not let the unkindly blast of
blow ail too harshly around its unpro
tected head.
The fanner's fir*t care for his stock should
he a warm shed and stable room for the tcAolt
hfrd. In our opinion, the stable is '.lie most
profitable. Stock to do well, must be kept
warm, as it is impossible for them to more than
lire while shivering on the sunny side of the
iiarn, stockyard, or rail fence. Every good
farmer understands that a certain amount of
animal heat has to he kept np, ai.d this is done
by the consumption of hay, straw and grain,
os heat is kept np iu a stove by the combus
tion of wood or coal. It is not pro|>osed to
enter into the chemical changes produced in
the case of the food or wood—both are well
admitted truths.—and the question presented
to the farmer is, whether his auimnl or stove
will be most easily and economically kept at a
proper temperature under a well constructed
stable or house, or outside, exposed to the cold
winds of our Northern winter.
If you have the stables and sheds all pre
pared, you will make a note, and begin to look
after the stock. You will find it bad economy
to let them range through meadow, field, orch
ard and wood, until compelled to come home
hy the thick falling snow Yon may, it is true,
have your stacks and mow untouched—but the
cold, frost bitten grass has afforded so little
nourishment, that your stock has already lost
flesh. Relieve me, dear sir, every pound lost
now will cost the value of more than double
the number to replace after they come to dry
food.
Commence enrlv to put cattle in the stalls
for the night, and feed them there, in prefer
enee to feeding in the yard, or around some
stack in a distant geld. Cattle will run over
the hnv on the ground and waste much of it
Stacking at best is but a poor method, for it
will not take much ciphering to show that the
waste in saving and feeding out of doors, will
soon pay for comfortable barns and feeding
stalls. Hy beginning early to feed at night,
the stork may run out days.
Good hay answers every purpose, but there
are stnlks, oat and wheat straw, which furmers
design as a part of the forage for winter use.
**o one considers bread or meat alone, palata
ble food for himself or family ; neither should
he calculate to heep his herd through win
ter on hay or straw alone. Hay may be fed
once a day, and as a change, cut straw with
the addition of a little corn or oatmeal, or
shorts, would be very advisable. Perhaps
hav that is good does nit require cutting, but
stalks and straw repay cutting many fold. We
are satisfied that it would be economy in all
respects to have a good straw cutter, and hire
a man, if necessary, to take care of the whole
herd, rather than feed coarse fodder whole.
Roots should uot lie overlooked. To keep
cattle in good condition, they are very nutri
tious, and serve as a change from the dry food
in general use. Carrots, turnips and beets, can
be so easily and profitably grown, that no good
herdsiuuii should dispense with them. They
arc easily kept and cut, and should lie used
once a day at least, mixed with cut straw or
stalks, or by themselves. It would be just as
reasonable to keep the farmer's family on one
kind of food, through ihe winter, as to keep a
herd of cattle on hay alone. Variety is essen
tial to a good appeiiti, and it - unquestionably
true, that roots will hare the effect of making
cattle more healthy,just as fresh food and veg
etables are better for those who go down to
the sea in great ships. Many of the wasting
and fatal diseases which diminish the herd in
spring, in our opinion, might be prevented by
a judicious use of roots and graiu in the win
ter.
Water should not be forgotten when pro
viding for stock. It is not enough, that there
is a brook in yonder hollow, near half a mile
from the barn, for cattle can liardlv afford to
go BO far in wet and muddy weather, and in
the deep snow of mid winter, tiicy will Buffer
for want of water before they will expose
themselves to the drifts and cold bleak winds
The water should be in the yfird, where it will
lie as warm as possible, and where cattle will
be protected from the cold wind while drink
ing. Every one Ims observed the shivering of
animals after drinking largely in mid-winter.
To prevent this they should have it not less
than twice a d iy. It is the practice of many
farmers to let sheep go without water, except
that obtained by eating snow, nil through the
winter. It is a great mistake. They will drink
three or four tinjss in a day when they can have
water without trouble.
Salt is important in the winter treatment of
all kinds of stock. A supply should be placed
where they can obtain it at any time. This
may le done by putting some lumps in a box
under a shed They will taste a little nearly
every day, never eating more than they ueed.
Wheu salted at long intervals, they eat too
much, producing bud consequences.
One great object with farmers in wintering
Htock should be to make as much manure as
possible, and save all that is made. For this
purpose, if not kept iu stables, the cattle should
be kept in yards All the manure dropped in
the snow path, when wandering after water,
or running at random over the fields, is nearly
a loss. Domestic animals are the farmers' ap
paratus by means of which his hay, grain, straw
roots, etc., are manufactured into flesh, muscle
and bone, as well as elaborated for manure
with which to feed the growing crop, and keep
the whole farm in the best condition. They
should claim a large share of the time and at
tention of every fanner, for those who give
such care reap a rich reward.— W r . f in Genes
see Farmer.
SITOEIN'O HORSES THAT OVERREACH.— " Why
not put the front shoes a little further forward,
and the hind shoes a little further backward?"
Plainly, because that will not increase the speed
of the fore-feet and retard that of the hinder,
which is just what you want to accomplish.—
But to do this, make the toe calks of the fore
feet very low, and set the shoe back as far as
possible, with high heel-calks. Then reverse
this method upon the hind-feet, and the click
ing and loosening of the shoe will cease. This
will also help the speed of the horse.

EMERY'S PATENT RAILROAD HORSE POWERS!
VST*' are manufacturing these justly celebrated End
\ V less Chain Powers, for one and two horses ; to
which we havi added such improvements as to make them
the bestndiess Chain Powers in the world. Our
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS
Are much improved over the Albany machines, and work
admirably. Our new
TIOGA POINT THRESHER AND CLEANER,
Just finished, will, we are confident, prove itself tebe the
BUST COMBISKP THKKSIIKR ASP WINNOWER in market.
It runs easily, is simple, strong, light and durable ; will
not carry over, nor waste grain ; and will thresh and
clean fit for ma-ket as much grain per day. with the same
power, as any Thresher with Separator will thresh.
It is admirably adapted for two and four horse powers.
Job threshers will find it to be just the machine they have
so long desired to find.
Our Horse Powers and Threshers are. to say the least,
equal to any made in the Union ; so that farmers >n Sou
thern New-York and Northern Pennsylvania, will find it
to their advantage to buy our Machines, on account of
savinc heavy expense in freights, as well as for their su
periority.
We invite the particular attention of Farmers and Deal
ers to our
TIOGA-POIXT FEED CUTTERS, GALE'S PATENT.
We can with confidence, recommend these Hay, Straw
and stalk Cutters on account of simplicity, durability,
strength, efficiency, ease of operation, rapid" cutting, Ac.
They do away with the very serious objections heretofore
urged by farmers and others, and justly too, against ail
patented feed cutters ; namely—that they are too com
plicated, too many small castings and traps, consequent
ly too liable to get out of repair ; that they have too
many wearing or friction places, therefore hard to operate.
Our Feed Cutters have two simple straight knives which
can easily l>e sharpened, or. if ever necessary, can be
made by any blacksmith. AH are warranted to give sat
isfaction. Ask your merchant to order one for you. and
send for our CATALOOI'R, which contains additional in
formation concerning all of the above mentioned machines
and many others of our manufacture and sale.
