CLOVER HAY TOR HORSES.
Dr. McClure is one of tlie leading veteri
nary surgeons of Philadelphia, and, we may
add, of the I nited St ites. His opinion,
therefore, on any matter conneeted with the
food and health of the horse can he quoted
with confidence. In a recent article in the
( 'iriturixt he advocates the feeding of clover
hay to horses, and thinks it would prevent
a disease now prevailing among the horses
of this city, during which they will not eat
timothy hay ; so little of it being brought
to market. He then proceeds to say :
Why is this the case ? Simply because it
is a prejudice existing among all classes of
horsemen and from tin in communicated to
the owners of horses, against feeding this
kind of hay. First, because it is said that
clover hay produces heaves, and secondly,
because it is said that it is not respectable
to be seen feeding with clover hay, as it
looks parsimonious. These opinions con
cerning this article are so widely and firmly
fixed in the mind of almost every groom and
stableman, as well as horse owner in Phila
delphia, that i believe it has been the eause
why most farmers are not found giving to
clover cultivation the extent it ought to
have, or as its superiority as an article of
provender demands. Lot us now examine
in brief the objections that are laid against
it. It is said that it will produce heaves in
horses. J lie idea is as false as ii is prepos
terous. If broken wind is produced by an
article of food, it certainly is not from tin
food, but from the quantity given. In like
manner heaves may be caused by a too
great a quantity of water, oats, "or any
kind ot bay whatever, given at an improper
times, as when the animal has a journey to
perform. In a word, it is the person's fault
in giving too much food at an improper
time, and not the character of the food that
thus produces heaves in the horse. The
man who, when fc-eding a horse, would till
its manger with oats and corn would not
lie considered a very lit man to feed and
care tor horses, neither is that man who
wonbl till a large rack full of clover hay ;
as the animal will not stop eating until it
has hurt itself, as every horse is fond*of it,
and, as before stated, siek horses will eat
it when they will not eat anything else.—
W itliout another word the argument is com
plete.
For argument's sake let us see what there
is in the other objections of clover bay. It
savors of meanness. Does this opinion
arise from the idea that the queenly cow
eats and feeds upon it in all our large
cities? How much inferior is she to the
horse, and which adds most to our domestic
happiness as well as health? Is it mean
to purchase for horse feed hay which is su
perior to any other, and sold forty cents to
a halt a dollar less than the best kinds re
ported in the market? Or, is it a gener
osity in the deportment or character of any
man to feed his horses upo 1 that which the
animals do not seem to relish, trample a
large portion of it under their feet, to bo
carried thence to the dung hill, when an
other article, superior to ii in point of nu
triment, and costing from forty to fifty pol
ecat. h-ss. may be obtained ?
'1 iie whole may be summed up in a few
words, as follows :
t.'ood clover bay contains forty-live per
cent, more fattening matter than timothy
hay, and about forty per cent, more than
English rye-grass hay : about ten percent,
b-ss than dried liiniiis or vciches, which are
extensively used in Kuropc for the feeding
ol both horses and cattle, and which ar;
second only t• > the TrifnUinn h or
J/.-,,'0 clover, so named from a district in
Sweden called Alsike. Alsike clover con
tains the properties of both the red and
white clover, and was first introduced nto
'' real Dritain iilmui 1 s.j-l. This variety of
clover had for the last few years t ngaged
the attention of agriculturists in Scotland
and various parts of England to a great ex
tent. Its reputation is now as firmly es
tablished that more of it has been sown
the last year than ever before. It i.- said
by many agriculturists that animals will
have any other grass or clover to feed on
the Alsike, and they say further that the
more it becomes known the greater will be
its cultivation.
He may add to the foregoing that thirty
years ago farmers never raised timothy for
their own use, and upon many farms even
within reach ol the Philadelphia market
not a pound of timothy hay was produced,
banners led clover exclusively to their
horses with cut straw and shipstuff, and
moderately with whole corn These horses
were put to all kinds of work, were ridden
and driven at all times; and we venture to
say, backed by our recollections, that the
horse at that period was not subjected to
one-hall the disease that it is now. The
truth is we will have to go back to clover,
probably of the new variety named, to a
considerable extent.—f Gcrmanfotrn 77e

MIXED FEED FOR SHEEP.
In making up mixed food for sheep, com
posed of the different products which arc
found most available and economical, cure
should be taken to keep the proportion of
nutriment to bulk such that a proper supplv
ol the former can be taken into the stom
ach without oppressing the organ. It has
been seen that three and one-third percent,
ol the live weight per dietn in hay ab >ut
meets the demands of the animal economy;
and it probably also about liils the stomach
to a comfortable state of
a sheep weighing ninety pounds received
half its nutriment in bay and half in the
better kinds of straw (which contain half
as much nutriment as hay), it would be re
quired to consume one and one-half pounds
of bay and three pounds of straw daily
an aggregate of four and one-half pounds,
which, 1 think, could not be daily taken in
to and digested in the stomach of a sliei p
ol that size, i'herefore, to put sheep on
half straw feed, it is necessary that some
other portion of their feed in* more concen
trated. or more nutritious in proportion to
bulk than hay—as, for example, grain or
roots—or else tliey will not get their pro
per supply of nutriment.
My own course when feeding straw lias
been to give a feed ot bay at morning and
evening (intended to average about a
pound per bead each time), all the straw!
the sheep will eat, and about a pound of cut
turnips each at noon- the latter hein- a
little increased if the hay and straw are not
of prime quality. Hut i do not often -ive
over two bushels, or one hundred and twen
ty pounds of turnips, to a hundred. Hay
here does not average eight dollars a ton ;
and though I regard feeding turnips as eco
nomical, mv major object in growing and
feeding them is to promote the health and
thrift of my breeding ewes, and the growth
of my lambs.
Sun excellent sheep fanners, on grain 1
and clover-seed farms lying a few miles
north of me—where a contiguous city mar
ket raise the average price of hay about.
fifty per cent, higher than here—give their
store sheep no hay until March, feeding
them in lieu of it, bright good straw in
abundance, clover chaff, and a daily feed of
Indian corn, ranging fromoni and a half to
two gills per head, according to their size
! and other circumstances. The straw and
grain chaff are generally fed fresh from the
i thrashing floor half a dozen times a day,
and the sheep are not required to eat it at
all close. After the first of March a full
' supply of bright clover hay is given and
' the grain feed taken off. The sheep, as I
have had repeated occasion to observe,
wintered well, and the breeding ewes raise
good lambs.
I do not believe tuht breeding ewes or
lambs could properly be fed enough straw
and turnips—particularly if the straw was
dry and ripe—to obtain the equivalent of a
full supply' of bay. If turnips are fed in
excess they render the evacuation too thin
and active for severely cold weather. Hut
a pound a head giving to a straw-fed sheep,
with a little diminution of the corn other
wise requisite, would, 1 think, constitute a
better and a cheaper feed than either corn
and straw.
The comparative nutriment of the diff
erent kinds of straw lias been given in the
table of nutritive equivalents. Oat and bar
h-y straw cut quite green and cured bright
are highly relished by sheep. I had rather
have them (particularly if thrashed with a
Hail so that a few sma'll green kernels re
main in the ends of the heads) than hay in
the situation in which it is frequently cured
for use. Wheat straw ranks next among
the common varieties of straw. Sheep do
not relish it, and will not cat it very well if
they got any hay. But when confined to it
and grain they learn to eat it and thrive on
it. I hey must not, however, be compelled
to eat it as close as oat and barley straw.
Ilipe rye straw, unless cut line and mixed
with meal, is a dry, harsh, unprofitable and
wholly unacceptable food for sheep. All
straws are efiten much better ly them when
fn-sli thrashed and fed frequently in small
quantities.
Cornstalks are contained in neither of the
preceding tables of nutrition. When cut
and cured bright, before frost, no feed is
better relished by sheep than the leaves
and some finer portions f the stalks ; and
they thrive admirably on them.
i'ea-liaulin, if cut and cured green, is
highly valuable and is highly relished by
sheep ; but when not harvested until dried
up and dead, according to the more com
mon mode, it is utterly worthless for them.
In seasons of great scarcity of hay and
straw, sheep have been repeatedly and suc
cessfully wintered by feeding them almost
exclusively on grain. Such a '• hay-famine"
occurred in the best sheep region of Ver
mont in the winter of 18H0-61, occasioned
by a severe drought the preceding summer.
Flock-masters who were determined to keep
well at all hazards, fed their sheep a pound
(or quart) of oats per bead, with sncli quan
tities of liav, straw, etc., as tiiey could ob
tain. In better Indian corn growing re- i
gions a pound of corn a day is given under
like circumstances.—f I'amlair* I'rcu lical

HUSKS VERSUS FEATHERS.
A visitor is a little curious to know what
those women and girls in short frocks and
pants are going to do, who are this moment
seen crossing the lawn in single, double,
and treble tile, in quite unmilitarv order,
towards the Now Barn, with clean white
pillow-cases in hand ? Well, friend, I will
tell you all about it : for we are disposed to
enlighten you all we can, respecting the
mysteries of Community life—but which
are no mysteries to right reason and good
common sense. Those women, then, are
bound for the barn to husk corn—not for
the corn's sake, nor the farmer's sake, but
for ihe sake of obtaining the clean inside
husks on the ears of corn to put in beds—
that is all.
I'eader, did you oversleep on a husk bed?
No ! Then let me say to you confidentially,
that a husk bed is, according to my experi
ence and judgment for many years, just the
nicest and cleanest thing in the world to
sleep upon. For my own use, 1 put the
husks into two ticks, the upper one not
quite as full as the lower one, making it
much easier to adjust or even up when the
bed is made. The under tick can be filled
quite full, making it elastic, requiring no
daily adjustment, but will remain for months
as even as a hair mattress. Once, and 1
sometimes twice a year, I have taken them I
out and emptied from the ticks upon a clean
grass-plot, where they are raked open and
stirred up. shaking the line dust from tliein
that naturally accumulates from the friction
they undergo in daily use. A sprinkling of
water upon them while thus spread out will
cause them to curl, making them almost as
light as leathers. 1 Ijey should be shaken
up several limes a day, that the action of
the sun and air may thoroughly penetrate
them. If allowed to remain out of doors
over night, a heavy dew answers all the
purposes of watering them. When thorough
ly dried and aired, return them to the ticks
—which von have probably washed—and
you have a bed as good as new once in six
months or a year, as sweet as new-mown
grass, as comfortable as any feather bed.
and decidedly more agreeable to those who
appreciate good air in a sleeping room. In
making up the bed, a thick comfortable, or
something equivalent, should be placed
over the bed before the sheets arc put on,
for the benefit of those whose skin is tender
from ill health or other causes. The husks
should be entirely free from bard substan
ces Husk beds, thus managed, will last
for years, by occasionally adding a few
pounds to keep the quantity good.
I have used nearly all kinds of materials
that have been proposed as substitutes for
leathers, and must render my verdict in fa
vor of busks. The cost of good clean husks i
is about one-eighth of the cost of feathers ;
and as to sweetness and health fulness there
is no comparison. The animal odor attached
to feathers is very offensive indeed to manv.
I lie raising of geese, too, is very trouble
some business, to say nothing ot the ex- i
pense and uncleanly habits of the hissing,
mischievous biped.--. (nhi (Jomm miilij

IHK IMPORTANT K OF (JRAVKI, STONKS FOR
F< >\ri„ —Reader, did you ever dissect the '
gizzard of a hen, turkey, g >ose, or duck ? j
The gizzard and gravel stones in it, serve '
the purpose of teeth, in reducing the food
to small particles, in order to faeiliate di
gestion. The feed is swallowed in chunks,
or the grain is received into the crop un-)
broken. Here all such substances are soft
ened, and passed, little at a tim , through J
the gizzard, which is surrounded by strong)
muscles, and when food is passed through j
it, it dilates .and contracts similar to the j
motion of a bellows, and the food, kernels ;
of grain, coining in contact with the gravel i
stones, is separated and torn to pieces.— !
Alter the process is completed, the food is
digested, these little mill-stones, as it
were, do not remain long in the gizzard ;
they are carried out with the food, and a
new set is brought along, from the crop, to
be thus ground. Now, if fowls are confined
as they often are, where they cannot have
access to all the sharp gravel they need,
their digestion must be imperfect, and they
cannot do well, especially if fed on whole
grain. Fowels need sharp gravel stones
within their reach to swallow every day,
and il they do not have a range, gravel
should be kept by them, in their miclosurcs.
