The Farmer on the Farm
The farmer in his daily avocation has as
much to think of, and to call fortli the full
exercise of every mental faculty, as is to
he found necessary in almost any other
business"and far more than the majority of
the common trades and professions of life.
Take htm in the general arrangement ot
his business as a planner, designer, or con
triver. In this department ho has t<> exer
cise much forethought and discretion. The
.arrangement of his business must be well
contrived, and clear and distinct through
nut, comprising in one view the past, the
present, and the future. The management
of the past month will require his present
careful attention, and it will require it
through the future. This he must provide
for, and he must plan and 1 ty out his work
accordingly, or liiß business operations will
soon be all crowded and in confusion. N one
of his crops nor any of his grass-fed ani
mals are independent of his aid ; all must
be diligently cared for, and looked after.
The crop when planted will require subse
quent culture. The stock when in the field
or fold yard will require constant attention,
change of feeding in the pasture, and of
keeping in the fold-yard. These, and mat
ters like these, require his unceasing and
intelligent attention, or his business, like
the business of other people who do not
bring a sufficient store of knowledge, tact,
and judgment to guide it, will soon be al
together irretrievable confusion, bringing
ruin and discredit upon himself, and sorrow
uid distress to his family and friends.
Take him as a breeder of stock. It may
appear to the uuitiated a very simple course
to breed animals for the supply of the farm
on which they are to be raised for sale or
fatted for the market ; but put him to the
task, and he will soon discover his error.
The breeding of cattle for instance : animals
bred from a good stock areof quick, expan
sive growth, will thrive and fatten rapidly,
and are very early brought to maturity ;
while to breed from a herd of common or
dinary unimproved stock, they will grow
slowly, they will never fatten, but remain
on hand for months or even years before
arriving at full maturity. Fanners in gen
eral know the difference of these kinds, and
avoid the worst sorts as they would a pest.
Great and universal attention is now giv
en to these points of profitable breeding,
and the existence of badly bred animals is
now the exception, while but a few years
back it was altogether tiie rule. It is per
fectly astonishing what a high state of im
provement has been attained by the breed
ers of short-homed cattle. \Vc see im
mense animals of this breed at two years
old ; and the Hereford are not far behind
them, while perhaps in the quality of their
.tlesh they exceed them. The rapidity of
the growth of short-horns and some other
cattle, their aptitude to fatten at an early
age, and the quantity of meat they yield at
this early age, are sufficient to place their
breeders in a high position as public bene
factors, and great contributors towards
promoting a nation's wealth. And this de
partment of cattle breeding is carried out
with consummate skill and judgment in very
many ways. It lias become quite a sci- j
ciicc. No novice would be able to estimate |
the product ol certain animals being put
together for breeding purposes. A breeder !
uf standing, however, would tell you at
once what would be the result. Hence the
judgment in selecting sires to dams, strain
of blood to strain of blood, etc. Then,
again, the breeding of cattle for particular
hx alities is attained with vast advantage.
The small and beautiful Devon for the hill
<>r mountain pastures, the Welsh arid Scotch
tor cold climates and mountainous heights, j
<>r the larger breeds for the fattening pas- !
lures, and the smaller breeds for the infe
rior pastures, all is the result of a wise and j
a ihoughtlul class of men, who have to ;
make the best produce from their holdings, '
in whatever district they are placed.
I o graze cattle properly of each kind j
,ig;e requires a very considerable knowl- !
''dge ot their habits and diseases, and the I
means ot prevention and recovery. "The '
eye of the master grazctli the ox," Verily, I
no novice need expect to prosper as a breed-;
ei ot grazier ol cattle. I again confidently '
repeat that the tanner has as great a scope !
lor knowledge, tact, and judgment in the !
management ot his business as any other 1
elass of the community, in whatever busi- !
ness the) maybe engaged in.— Farmer's \

Give your Horses Light and Air
Histuiy informs us that a curtain ciriper
••t lovcti <t favorite horse so much that lie
had a golden manger made for him. This
i \ii avagance appears uupardoiiable in the
estimation of many, now-a-days, and yet it
i> more pardonable than the opposite < x
irente—meanness in tin treatment <>f the
horse. In looking at the constructions of
a very large proportion of our horse-stables,
I am sometimes led to think that the object
ot the builder must have been to sec how
widely he could depart from every principle
ot humanity and expediency*—humuuitv in
compelling a patient and faithful animal
to remain penned up in a close, dark, and
til thy apartment—expediency in sacrificing
not only the comfort, but the health, and
consequently the usefullness and value of
the animal.
Light is indispensible to the plant and to
the man, is it less so to the horse ? If it
is, why ? When the tyrants of the old
countries sought to inflict their most tearful
punishments, next to death, confinement in
a d irk cell was considered the most severe.
1- it reasonable that the horsi. whose na
tive hotue is in the desert and wilderness,
wtu re there is nothing to obstruct the free
light of heaven, is it reasonable. I ask, that
he should not sutler from confinement iu
"ur generally dark and gloomv stables. Is
i: not a shame, in a land like ours, where
glass enough tor a moderate sized window
can he had for fifty cents, that a valuable
horse should be shut up day after day iu a
ilaik stall or stable? Let every horse
owner's heart, if he has one. answer !
Is toul air wholesome for plants '? Cer
tainly not. Is it wholesome for men *
Most emphatically, no ! If not wholesome
tor plants or men, can it be for horses ?
I lie answer is as emphatically, NO !
Why then are the majority of our stables
constructed without the slightest regard to
that most important feature, ventilation'?
In thousand of cases, an auintal. than which
none other loves the fresh air better, is
doomed to confinement for days and iiMits
at a time in a stable, the atmosphere of
which is so loitl, that a man would die in
it. How many of the diseases to which
our horses are subject, may he traced to
this unpardonable error. 1 say unpardon

A LOVER OF HORSES.
Disposing of Grain-
There are doubtless few questions which
have been more seriously considered by
by farmers than, will it pay best to sell
their grain or to dispose of it by feeding it
to stock ? Where a fanner can obtain
market price for his grain by feeding it, in
the increased value of the stock when sold,
or in the improved quantity and quality of
milk, it is decidedly the better plan to do
so, for not only is he saved the trouble and
expense of hauling it away, but the value
of the manure produced in much greater,
and this is a point that may well be con
sidered, in estimating the return of the
grain consumed.
There are many farmers who find it nec
essary to purchase a certain quantity of
patent manure every year, when by feeding
their grain this could either be dispensed
with or the quantity greatly lessened. But
the point to which 1 would particularly call
the attention of farmers is this : Meat of all
kinds is unusually high, as high as at any
time during the war. This is generally
supposed to be owing to the scarcity of
stock in the country, caused by the im
mense number of young animals killed dur
ing the war ; but whether owing to this
cause or the combinations of speculators, it
is undoubtedly a fact, nor does there ap
pear any prospect of the price falling.
In view of this fact, would it not be well
for farmers to consider the advisability of
feeding as much of their grain as possible,
especially as corn, &e., has fallen so great
ly in value. A miller accustomed to feed
ing a large number of hogs yearly, informed
me that when pork is fourteen dollars a cwt
it will pay to feed corn at a dollar a bushel;
but pork is now worth eighteen dollars a
hundred, and corn less than a dollar a
bushel. Consequently a large margin is
left fur profit.—.l. S. Near Mooreetoicn, N •!.
Pasturing Horses in Winter.
Every horse turned out for whiter graz
ing, should have a shed well protected from
the north, west, and east, aud well littered
with straw, to which he can resort when
ever he desires to rest, or protection from
the cold and wet If no shed be provided,
then the horse should be taken into the sta
ble every night. All horses are not bene
fitted by a run at winter pasture ; some, on
account of their thin skin aud delicate con
stitutions, rendering exposure to cold pro
ductive of coughs and other complaints ;
while others are provided with a long and
thick coat of hair, that protects them
against cold but not wet, and therefore are
not so readily affected by extreme changes
ol weather. Winter pasture is best for
horses where the legs are to be improved,
while spring or summer pasture is best for
the renovation of general health. The bar
renness of pasture in winter keeps the car
cass light, and the coolness of the atmos
phere fines and improves the legs. Horses
that have become "gannted" up, as the
phrase is, or that have little appetite, are
not benefitted by winter pasture, as the
grass at that season, although capable of
supporting life, has no laxative or medica
tive qualities to change the action of the
system. Such horses should be kept in
warm stables, and fed with roots and cut
feed. Others, again, that have become
stiffened in their joints, or subject to swol
len legs, are often times almost entirely re
covered by a winter's run at pasture, when
good sheds or stabling are provided for
them against the night air and storms.—
Md. Farmer.
MY METHOD OF FATTENING FORK. --In the
first plaee, I do not find it profitable to win
ter any but breeders. I give 'them plenty
of muck, which should he thrown into a
cellar under the horse stables, if possible,
fit any rate under cover, and where the
horse manure ntay be readily converted.
Figs to be latted early should come in
April, or perhaps March would be better,
were it not for the excessive cold weather
that we usually have during that month,
up here among the mountains. Be sure
and keep pigs enough, so that it will be
necessary to add a little scalded meal to
the skim milk anil other slops that naturally
go into the swill till), through the entire
season, and by the first >1 September in
crease the quantity of meal to about as
much ;ts they will eat : and be sure to scald
it all by stirring it up in boiling water,
adding a little salt each time. By this
method 1 have succeeded in making my
pigs weigh nearly 400 pounds for the last
2 years, at Kor i* months old. I don't boil
any potatoes toy fattening pigs, believing
that they may be sold or fed to stock more
profitably IF. ./. Simomls. >n _V F Far

DRAINING SWAMPS.— The editor of the Gen
esee Fanner lias a swamp that lie thought
was nearly a dead level, and was afraid it
could not be drained. He had it surveyed,
found a fall of no less than ten feet. A lit
tle exultant over the discovery, he says :
Now for a big ditch, and then for big
crops, and then for plenty of manure to en
rich the upland portion of the farnt. The
low land has been receiving matter from
the high ground, and now 1 hope for a
change to get it back again. This is the
cheapest way ot getting manure 'Can't
you draw the muck on your land Yes
but 1 prefer to get it in a more concentra
ted form. Grow big crops on your low
land, and these will make manure for your
high land and at considerable less expense.
There is nothing like plenty of alluvial
nteadow land to enrich a farm."
FOREST LEAVES — lf gathered iu the fall
and placed iu the yards, or mixed in heaps
with fermentable substances, forest leaves
will in a short time decay, and become ex
cellent manure. The leaves of all trees
contain phosphates and other vegetable nu
trition of a mineral character, as well as
the ingredients of humus. In order, how
ever, to facilitate the decomposition of the
fibrous substances of the leaf, it is well to
mix a liberal quantity of l ine or fishes with
the mass, and t> see that it is kept moist
until decomposition commences, unless the
putrescent ingredients of the heap are suf
ficient. to effect the object. Brakes, mosses,
small bushes, and, indeed, all succulent
and easily decomposable vegetable sub
stances, an- of value in composting. They
decay rapidly, and leave behind a resid
uum which is found to be singularlv salu
tary tn almost every description of crop.
THE <' ATTLE FI.AGUE IN ENGLAND.— I The cat
tle plague which has caused so much ex
citement in England, is still raging. It is a
rnosl fatal disease fur which no cure has as
yet been discovered. It has carried off
thousands of cattle, ar.d at the last accounts
the disease had broke out among the sheep
" in all its intensity and fatal virulence."
TWICE RMNED.- "I never was ruined but
twice," said a wit ; "once when I lost a
lawsuit, and once when 1 rjnieed one."
