farmer's Department.
The Care of Stock in Winter.
"A righteous man regurdeth tliu life of his
beast ; but the tender mercies of the wicked
are crnel." Every farmer knows that the
health of his cattle next Spring will depend
much npon their management through the
Whiter. Their treatment for about six months
to come, shut up, and fed on dried food, is an
artificial one, and needs to be well conducted.
It is said that more than $600,000,000 are in
vested iu live stock in this eoun'ry ; is not
that investment worth looking after ? It is
held, too, that it casts about half the value of the
stock to Winter it ; heoce, there are some three
hundred millions of dollars to be fed ont, be
tween this mouth (December) and next May.
Now, if that sum can be reduced by good eco
nomy, would it not be a great benefit to the
fanning community ? We believe that some
of the money can be saved. llow saved?
1. By providing good shelter for stock.—
Every man knows that exposura to a cold
wind in Winter (even though he doea not ex
ercise much) gives him an enormous appetite.
The carbon in his system is expended iu keep
ing up his vital heat, and he needs a new and
large supply of food to restore the waste. So
with animals. If they are kept out of doors,
exposed to severe winds and frosts, they will
be compelled to eat much more to keep them
selves warm, they would if well housed in
sheds and stables. If they have only fodder
enough to keep up their animal heat, they will
decline in flesh, and of course in value. Far
mers not at all given to exaggeration, assure
us that they find it a loss of one third of their
fodder to try Winter their stock without ade
quate shelter.
2. Consider, too, the waste of food by its
being trampled into the wet gronnd, by irregu
lar feeding as to quantity and time, also the
effect of lying on cold, wet ground, with little
or no bedding, and other wasteful practices
which generally accompany the neglect of pro
viding shelter. Do not cows give more and
better milk ; do not horses and oxen work bet
ter ; do not sheep improve more in flesh and
wool ; and do not pigs fatten quicker, if kept
in comfortable quarters and well fed, thau if
treated with neglect? We have 6een horses
and cattle that bore, for several years, the
marks of bad treatment for a single Winter.
They were stinted in their growth.or they con
tracted diseases from which they never fully
recovered. " Penny wise and pound foolish,"
as Dr. Franklin would say.
Horses are not as apt to be neglected as
other stock ; but even they sometimes suffer
from being kept in too close and foul stables,
and in being irregularly blanketed and curri
ed. Their stalls should be cleaned twice every
day, and supplied with good dry litter at night.
Provision should bo made for letting in fresh
air on the least windy side of the barn, aud
the opening not very near to the horse-stalls.
The curry-comb should not be allowed to rnst
for want of nse, and this should be followed by
a good wisp of pea-straw and the brush. If
the horse is blanketed at all, it should be done
the Winter through, by no means neglecting
the times when he is heated after working.
Cows should have special care. Those
with calf should have no sort of harsh treat
ment from men, or dogs, or other cattle.—
Their food should be plentiful and nutritious.
Remember that their own future condition and
that of the coming calf depends on their man
agement at this critical time. By no means,
deny them the comfort of a Rtable by night.
Milch cows shonld have an abundance of food
and pure water—that from a running spring
being better than water from a well. They
should be fed and milked at regnlar hours.—
Roots should from a stated part of their fod
der, and if these give out, l hey should have
messes of shorts, meal and flax seed cake. If
their hides gpt au occasional carding, it will
do them no hurt.
Cattle and sberp should not be neglected,
either as to shelter or food, if jou would have
them return a profit.
THE BEST KIND OF HAY. —There is probably
as much difference in the nutritive properties
of the grasses, as there is in trains or fruits.—
Analysis shows this, and the instinct of [cattle
indicates quite as much. Analysis may not
nlways agree with instinct,but, iu the main,the
aniuial taste verities the decisions of the labor
atory. Thus, herd's grass stands among the
best varieties of grass according to the chem
ists, and cattle show a decided preference for
it, when it is put in competition with other
kinds.
Some farmers seed nil their land,both mead
ow and pasture, with herd's-grass. They say
that all cattle are not only more fond of it,but
they fatten more rapidly than upon any other
grass. In confirmation of this, the writer noti
ced this Fall, in turning in heifers to eat up
the after-feed upon a meadow seeded with sev
eral grasses, thut the herdV-grass patches were
the favorite feeding ground. Some of the
nocond growth of this grass had gone to seed,
and though past its prime, it was grazed more
closely than any other part of the field. As
the cattle have the grass and hay to eat, it is
but fair that their appetites should he suited
with the best.
VARIETY IN THE Foon OK ANIMALS. — No
man is contented with the same dish for din
ner every day, neither will he thrive as well for
confining himself to one article of diet, how
ever wholesome it may be. The Creator has
provided a constant variety of ripening fruits
and grain to correspond with man's desire for
change. Animals have the same want and to
some extent the same provision. The ox ranges
over the field to find out different varieties of
grass. Animals in the yard will nose over the
refuse heap to pick out iomething different
from their accustomed food. The pig turns
from his regular meal of corn, to root for nuts,
bulbs, and other tit-bits. These facts should be
kept in mind in the Winter care of stock. An
alternation of roots, cut feed, oil meal, etc.,
with au occasional treat of grain and shorts,
will please their palates, keep up appetite,pro
mote digestion and general thrift. Hogs us
well as other animals need such a change.—
The sweepings of the barn, which contains
clover heads, seeds, bits of hay and straw,etc.,
should be throwu into the pen where they will
be eagerly devonrcd, and will contribute not a
little to the health as well as the comfort of the
auimals.
Nothing is easier than for any man, even
cue of strong mind, to render himself insane
by forever dwelling upon one idea and disre
garding all the other multifarious duties which
God has required of hiin in this life.
Cheerfulness is perfectly consistent with
p.ety
