Sometimes, however, farmers have kept too many animals on a given surface; and many cows have kept the grass from growing, and the usual flow of milk has di minished. Dairymen slide into this prac tice of over-stocking their pastures at a season of the year when grass grows freely. A cow consumes a certain amount of feed to sustain and to repair the waste of her body. If she can have more than enough for this purpose the surplus will be conver ted into milk Therefore, if feed is short, the flow of milk must inevitably diminish. Breeding is another cause .of diminution in the quantity of milk. Some cows, even when supplied with all the good grass tin y will consume, will fall oil" in milk within a few weeks after being got with calf ; and there is sometimes so much shrinkage in the amount of milk, that a cow might be dried off in a short time. Another common cause of failure in the flow of milk is, a want of an abundant supply of pure water. These are the chief difficulties that peo ple meet with, who keep few or many cows. To obviate the difficulty of short pasturage, a farmer will find it much more profitable to keep fewer cows and so have more and better grass, as two cows when kept on as much grass as they will eat, will yield more milk than three or four cows kept on the same feed, for they would find barely enough to support animal life. By over-stocking a pasture, most of the grass is used up to keep the animals alive, with out improving their condition, while a small er number would thrive well, and at the same time, give a good supply of milk.— Therefore, in order to obtain the greatest amount of butter or cheese from a given amount of pasture, the correct way to do it is to keep few cows and feed well. When grass fails, they should have at least one feeding daily of good hay, or green corn stalks, or a few quarts of meal or bran, made thin with water. It is quite import ant that the flow of milk be maintained ; because, if a cow be allowed to shrink in the quantity of milk, it is usually quite difficult, even by extra feeding, to bring it up again. Sometimes it can be done with out difficulty. But in most cases it is im practicable. \\ lienever it is knotvu that a cow shrinks in her milk after getting with calf, take means to prevent it each year until about three months after the time of turning cows to grass. The aim should be to have such cows come in just in time to recover from the debilitating effects of parturition by the time grass is large enough for grazing.— Then her iniik will be had at a season of the year when cows are usually most prof itable. But if they are allowed to breed early in the season, they are frequently ve ry unprofitable cows ; and improper man agement renders them still more so. Cows well fed and properly milked, can not be expected to yield a large supply, unless they have an abundance of good water several times a day. Once or twice is not sufficient. In hot weather they need it three times daily. They relish a pailful of good water as we do a cooling draught from the "old oaken bucket." And they must have it or they will not and can not yield an abundant supply of milk. Large cows that have access to pure water often drink from twenty to thirty gallons daily during the hot weather,and this water as sists greatly in keeping up the flow of milk. \\ itiiold a part of it and the supply dimin ishes. As soon ;ts cows have tilled them selves with grass they often desire to drink. They seldom take much water into an emp ty stomach. Consequently if they are re quired to drink at a pool of standing, dirty water, perhaps defiled by dung, they will drink no more than is absolutely necessary to sustain lit'.-. Such water is not refresh- ing to eows, or any other animals ; and no one need expect that milch cows will keep up the quantity of milk, so long as they are required to use such an unwholesome drink. RECREATION AND VISITING AMONG FAR MERS. This may seem to some a very unsuita ble topic for this busy time of the year.— On the contrary, it is specially seasonable. Mi st farmers make life too much drudgery for themselves and for their children. By working hard from morning until night, and from week to week, with no recreation, they become dull, and ao not accomplish as much as they would with a littletimely relaxa tion, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Nor do they enjoy life nearly so well. They doubtless say to their studs " I must work hard now, and lay up mon ey against a time of need, or against old age : then 1 will rest and enjoy myself"— They forget that they are arc meanwhile wearing out their faculties of enjoyment, and are acquiring habits which will unfit them for anything but an old age of contin ued toil. Let farmers bear in mind, too, the effect of such a life on their children.— As to the way in which farmers shall get recreation, we arc not disposed to be particular. Some will choose to get it in one way, and some in another. One very good method is to make up an occasional pic-nic. Fix on a pleasant afternoon, and take the whole family to some neighboring grove, where the children can romp, where the older folks can rest, and all have a good supper. If several families can unite, it will be all the better. Another way, is to make short visits to the neighbors. To do this, it will not be needful to consume a whole day ; this would be an unnecessary loss to you and a bore to your neighbor But seize on the broken, half-days, or even the hour or two after tea, and ride over to neighbor A's, or neighbor l)'s. lie will be glad to show you his stock and his crops, and liis orchard. You will learn something front him, and he from you. At any rate, you will get recreation, and will return to your home and your daily labor with new zest. CARE WITH STRAW AND FODDER. A great deal of discussion has occurred of late years as to the comparative value of straw, cornstalks, hay, Ac. The divers ity of views, which is obvious, is no doubt owing largely to the imperfect manner in which these different substances are cured and preserved. One farmer, for example, finds the use of straw of great value, keep ing his cattle and other domestic animals in excellent condition, with a very little grain or meal. Another denounces it as nearly worthless, as his bony cattle abund antly indicate. On further examination, we find that the first has taken much pains to secure his straw in the best order—the other has neglected it, allowed it to become wet, musty and unpalatable. The same result has taken place with clover hay— one man has it lresh, green and excellent ; with another it is black, tasteless, or re pulsive, having been washed by rains or become mouldy bv partial drying. The same difference exists with corn-fodder resulting in one instance from timely cutting, and securing in stiff, erect shocks —while in the other the stalks are cut out of season, badly put up, tipped over by winds or by their weight, and drenched, blackened and rotted by long rains. Who can expect his cattle to eat and thrive on this incipient manure? The season is now approaching when farmers should give especial attention to this subject. Those who are about to cut their wheat, should remember that if bar vested before the heads droop and become fully ripe, or while in the dough state, (the tips of the chaff being yet green,) the grain is better and even heavier —the straw, if well dried, is brighter and more valuable for feeding. Therefore, cut early, secure in good, well protected shocks, until fully dry, and place the straw when thrashed, either under a roof, or else in as well built stacks as are deemed requisite for hay. Hay should be well aud evently dried —not in lumps or buuclies, or in badly dried cocks, where it becomes yellow and sour. A good hay tedder, run by two horses, however valuable it may prove in expediting work, and saving labor in dodging stones, will doubtless be found still more valuable in consequence of the perfection of the hay it will enable the farmer to manufacture. SALT FOR CATTLE- In the communication on this subject from 11. P. B. on page 364 of the current volume of the CCUXTKY GENTLEMAN, he points out very clearly the necessity of furnishing salt to c ittle by showing that it forms a part of their composition and secretions.— lie has, however, in common with most writers on this subject, omitted to state the fact that all or nearly all vegetable food contains a portion of common salt. Timo thy hay lias, for example, according to some analyses, over five cent, of the ash in salt and allowing the ash to be ten per cent, of the dry hay, which is frequently the case, then every two hundred pounds of hay will contain one of salt, and the animal that consumes twenty-five pounds daily neces sarily swallows at the same time two oun ces of salt. At the same rate, a ton of hay will contain ten pounds of salt, which is about half as much as writers usually rec ommend to be applied to the hay by suc cessive sprinkling in the mow--and possi bly quite as much as animals should have. Other kinds of hay contain different quan tities —red clover, for instance, being usu ally found to yield about two-thirds as much as timothy—Kentucky blue grass considerably less, and it may be advisable to apply more salt artificially to the lat ter. It has been very common with chemical farmers to urge the artificial application in food or in manure of whatever analyses in dicated as needed by the animal or the growing plant. This has led to a great deal of error. For the food given the ani mal in one case may contain ten times its much of a certain ingredient as may he as similated, or the soil already possess ten times the amount of some other ingredient needed by the growing plant. An acquaintance who was a strict home opathist, declined taking any food that con tained the slightest quantity of soda or of salt—for the reason that these or other earthy or saline substauces would entirely counteract or spoil the effect of the minute doses of medicine. The error of this course was at once pointed out, by showing that every hundred pounds of wheat flour con tained among its component parts ten oun ces of potash, four ounces of soda, one ounce of lime, live ounces of magnesia, nineteen ounces of phosphoric acid, Ac., and every hundred pounds of Indian meal contained eight ounces of potash and soda, four ounces of magnesia, Ac. It may be true in ordinary experience that an addition of some of these ingredi ents would be better than the natural quan tity. Experiment alone can settle such points as this ; and if cattle are found to thrive better by adding salt to common bay, this result is sufficient and settles the question. All we desire is, that in theori zing merely in proof of the importance of any practice, all the facts developed by sci entific investigation should be brought to bear, and not a part only. J. BREAKING COLTS In the spring of the year, while the ground is soft and the temper sobered by low feed and a relaxing atmosphere, is the best time to commence handling colts. In the first place, the handling of colts should not be entrusted to reckless and foolish boys, who will g<> about it without sense or reason. The education of a colt | is like the education of a child, requiring just as much judgment, and more watchful ness, than when the colt or child come to a better understanding of themselves and those they have to deal with. The first operation is what is usually termed halter-breaking ; but all colts should be handled with the halter from the time they are able to run with the dam, and should need no " halter-breaking." When tliis is done, the first operation is to accus tom the colt to the bridle bit. This should be done with perfect gentleness and pro gressive application of the rein, so that the , colt will understand what is wanted, in stead of being astonished by applications which he cannot comprehend. To put a green colt into a bitting tackle, truss up his neck until his chin nearly touches his breast, and thus leave him for half a day to sulk in the barn-yard, is an infernal out rage that ought to be a penitentiary offence. •The pain thus thoughtlessly or purposely inflicted is excruciating and inexcusable. Along with the lessons of bridle wisdom, should come the first lesson in bareback riding, or riding upou a blanket and sur cingle ; from which proceed to gentle exer cise under the saddle. The next step is to put the colt in har ness, by the side of a steady and reliable horse. The harness should be put on for a while, several times, so he will become ac customed to it, before being called upon to draw in it. Breaking a colt, is a misnomer ; a colt should never be broken, but tamed and ed ucated. A colt that is broken has lost the best qualities of horse-hood. A colt that is thoroughly educated has arrived at the .perfection of his race.- -Ohio Farmer. A NEW VINE DISEASE.— Last season there appeared upon the vines around New \ ork a desease which has this season show ed itself still more generally. It seems to attack the Concord in preference to other varieties, and if not checked, threatens to be a serious matter to vinegrowers. It first shows itself by swellings on the fresh ly formed wood, and later appears as well defined blotches with a surface depressed somewhat below the general surface of the stem. The growth of the branch, thus af fected, is arrested and the fruit drops -- 1 his has been attributed to wounds made by the common June bug, but this can hardly be the case, as cultivators, who have carefully watched their vines, assure us that they are unable to discover that insects have any agency in the matter.
