Feeding Grain to Stock Profitably. There is a class of farmers, and perhaps some among them read the American Agri culturist, who still question whether it will: pay to feed animals the grain which they themselves raise. They have not satisfied j themselves by their own experience in ma-1 king beef, mutton, or pork. If grain be properly fed to animals of a good breed, iliere is no doubt about its being usually a paying operation ; but fed out unground and irregularly, if the animals are ever so ! good, it seldom pays. There is a difference ; also, in the manner of computing the gains i which usually accrue from the grain con sumed by animals. A good portion of the j profits of converting grain into meat of any kind, cannot be realized by the sale of j the meat ; for many times an animal will not sell for as much money as the grain and hay it has consumed while fatenning. In view ot this fact alone, feeding grain ap pears to be a poor practice. Nevertheless, multitudes of the best farmers of ourcoun- ; try sell but little grain, others sell none at alt, while many purchase much more than they raise on their own land, and feed it j all to stock of some kind, and yet derive a paying profit from the business. Others attempt it and fail because they feed poor stock, not well purchased nor selected, or because they do not feed with proper sys tem, nor preserve with sufficient care the solid and liquid manure of the fattening an imals. In fact, it is in the manure alone that the greater part of the profit of fatten ing beef, sheep and swine consists, to most ; of farmers of the United States, and the rest of the civilized world. The more man ure, nd the better saved, the greater the profit, even iu Illinois. The way to begin is,to get good animals and to put them in fair order on grass.— Meat can be made on grass in warm weath er more economically than on any other feed. Those persons who attempt to make beef of poor cows and bullocks, or mutton of poor sheep, by feeding hay and grain, without commencing on grass, will never make out i well. When one intends to prepare a lot of bul locks or sheep for marketing in the spring, lie should commence feeding a small quan tity of grain per head as soon as grass be gins to fail, for in passing from grass to hay they should not be allowed to lose any of the flesh or fat that lias accumulated du ring the grazing season. If by irregular ity of feeding, or by exposure to storms, or by short allowances of feed, an animal is required to use up a pound of fat to maintain the heat and to supply tlie natur al wastes of the body, it will take several days to replace the small amount that has 11 (!-n lust by this bad management. Every animal should be fed enough to keep im proving a little even/ dag. Some bullocks require more meal than others, and the same is true of sheep. A dry cow, or a bullock three or four years old, designed for beef next May or June, should receive! not less than two quarts of Indian corn meal, or its equivalent in some other grain, during the month of December and Janua ry After this,the quantity may be increas ed at pleasure, and should always be in civased from month to month, according to the feeding capacity of the animal, the cal culation being to finish off the fattening with ten to twenty days grazing, without reducing the quantity of grain. In addi ti in to this amount of meal, tlie-y should iuive a foddering- of hay, once daily, and Hi' cornstalks, and a few hours daily in a yard with access to good straw. If a far mer has a power cutter, it is far more econ omical to chaff the hay, straw and ceirn talks, wet it, and mingle the meal with it. U >d prepared in this maimer, is better for sheep as well as neat cattle and horses.— Tiie use of oil-meal for beef animals must b regiilat. d on the same principles, as a substitute ibr part of lhe| meal. Wethers ami dry ewes should receive nearly or quite a. potiml of Indian corn or corn meal per il- ad daily, or what is better, half u pound ot oil meal and half a pound of corn or of barley meal mixed. It is folly to attempt t • make meat in cold weather, without com plete protection from cold and wet. Rules for Management of Cows Never buy of a dairyman, for it he is a good manager he will sell only his poor animals. To determine which cows are best for k< eping,try their milk separately and weigh the butter, for sometimes a cow may give much milk and and a little butter, and rice rcrea. Cows should run dry six weeks before calving—if milked closely toward calving, the calves will be poorer. A cow nearly come in, should not drink odd water-in cold weather, but moderately warm slop. Calves intended for raising, siionid be taken from the cow within a few days, and they will be less liable to suck when old. Feed them first with uew milk for a time, then skim milk, then sour milk, taking care that all changes are gradual, by adding only a portion first : add gradu ally a little meal. Calves well fed and taken care of, with a quart or two of meal daily in winter,will be d üble the size at two years, they would have attained by common treatment. Heifers thus treated may come in at two years old,and will be better ilian neglected animals at three, and one year of feeding saved. Hearty eaters are desirable for cows, and they may usually be selected while calves. A dainty calf will be a dainty cow. Heifers should become accustomed to be lively handled before calving and drawing tiie teats. They will then not be difficult to milk Begin gradually, and never star tle them. In milking cows, divide the time as near ly as practicable between morning and evt ning, especially at time of early grass, that the mlder may not suffer. Persons who milk should keep the nails cut short ; animals are sometimes hurt with sharp nails,and unjustly charged with rest lessness. (lid cows should be fatted at fifteen years. Ihe dairyman, therefore, who has fifteen cows, should raise a heifer calf everv year ?< supply the vacancy ; i! the herd is*thirty cows, he should raise two calves, Ac. Heifers dried up too early after calving, will always run dry about the same time it> alter years; therefore, be careful to milk ch'sely the first year, until about six weeks before calving. Spring cows should come in while they are yet fed on hay, and before they are turned t-o grass, which will be more likely to prevent caked bag and milk fever. An nnn! Register. 'kn. Tj 1( . - • - -.* A \e> v< • u,*y ta i iir-d in this *'■ '! a- o.av t it- riitx'A I Top-dressing Meadows in Winter- A thin dressing of clay put upon ;i mead ow, where the soil is sandy, or a sandy loam, or for the most part muck, and net in a very good state of fertility, will some times increase the growth of grass so large-, ly, that a meadow hardly worth mowing will'yield three tons of excellent hay per acre. Sometimes when grading has been j done, or a new fence is built, the earth is ! scattered in depressions on the sward near j by, and the result almost always in a large i increase in the growth of the grass. We ; have frequently observed bunches, and small patches of tall, heavy grass of a lux uriant growth, near stakes and posts, that had recently been set, a small quantity o! the earth having been scattered, when the workman was digging the holes, taking the hint from these, it is easy to see how teams and laborers may be employed prof itably, when there is snow on the gronnd, ' or it is too cold to ejigage in labor that re quires warm weather. If a man lias a sail- j dy meadow yielding but a small burden of grass, it will pay well to haul clay, or al most any kind of earth half a mile to top dress such ground. \Y hen the sleighing is good; a team will haul two tons at one load with ease. If the soil b -of a peaty char acter, two tons of cold stiff clay spread in the winter over an acre of four square rods, will usually produce a maximum result. — Should the clay be plowed, or spread up in large clods, let them be spread on the snow iir ground, and the frost and rain will reduce them to a Gue and mellow condition before the growing season commences, so that a little labor with a shovel will cover the entire surface with an excellent top dressing, the good effect of which will be perceived for several years, in the larger quantity of grass and hay, and in the bet ter quality. An active man with a good team will haul, on an average, one ton of earth an hour half a mile, when the traveling is such that the team may haul two tons per load. And if half a ton be spread on each square rod, it will require eighty tons to top-dress an acre. The expense of the teams for hauling need not be computed, because they must be kept in winter, whether they work or not, and it will be better for them to labor than to remain idle Then allow ing a man one dollar per day, it he hauls only four loads per day, making eight tons, it will cost ten dollars to top-dress one acre. The grass produced by -ucli a dress ing over and above what WQuld have grown in a single season, will ordinarily more than pay all this expense. But, in the win ter, when farmers have little to do besides their daily chores, they can work a few hours every day at top-dressing in this manner, and it will cost them even less than we have reckoned, as it will be better for both men and teams to labor moderately, than to remain idle. When there is a pre ponderance of clay in the soil, sand, or san dy loam, or muck may be hauled instead of clay. The frosts and rains will almost surely reduce it Gue before the growing season commences, and it will answer the double purpose of a mulch and fertilizer. When the snow is off the groundTm a mild day, the lumps, if there are many, may be broken up and spread by a harrow turned upon its back. Breeding Sheep- At the State Fair in Vermont, at a dis cussion on sheep, Mr. L. C. Mead, of Corn wall, said : If a man is ever successful in the breed ing of sheep lie must be possessed of natu ral qualifications, such as all men must have in order to succeed in any business, or enough of those qualifications so that with culture and attention he may acquire a knowledge of the principles of sheep breeding. The sheep breeder must com mence with sheep that are pure blood ed, of whatever class he may see fit to choose. He must keep in mind a fixed idea of the style of sheep he desires to breed, and pursue that idea constantly. He must use stock bucks that possess the greatest number of points tending to that idea. In selecting for selling lie must never seli the best. He needs to have not so large a flock but he can know his sheep as a father knows his children, and can keep them in control, and yet enough to avail himself of those advantages which may be gained by the possession of a good number. In coup ling it is not well to breed to closely "in and in," neither so far away as to introduce a different strain of blood. Every one lias his fancies. For himself lie would choose neither extreme of coarse or fine, but a style of medium quality. GIT STRAW USED FOK FEED.— After the straw is cut, wtiter must be poured on it, and the whole quantity thoroughly wit. li' water remains at the bottom of the trough or ves sel, it must be scooped out before the tneal is mixed in. If dry meal is poured on the straw thoroughly wet, ; small quantity will adhere to every piece of straw ; but if the meal is mingled with the sfaw before the water is poured in, much of it will have no meal on it. Cattle and horses will eat this compound much better, if such a thor ough and even mixture is made. The food is found to be much better than mere hay for horses that are in any degr e affected with the heaves. HIGH PRICES OK AYRSHIRE AND JERSEY COWS —At a sale of Ayrshire and Jersey stock, at the farm of John Giles, South Wood stock, Conn , Oct. 18th, the two best Ayr shore cows sold, otte for S4OO, and the oth er for $405. Calves one year old, of both breeds, sold at from $75 to 8100. MrLCHixG YOUNG FRUIT TREES. —It is a good plan to mulch fruit trees in winter, where the ground is not covered with snow. Spread barnyard litter around them six or eight incherdeep. If apple trees are bank ed up with earth, about a foot high around the trunks, as steep as possible, mice will seldom gnaw the bark in winter. MANURE PITS. —Prof. Voelcker recom mends that "the sides and bottoms of ma nure pits should be rendered impenetrable to water, either by clay puddling or hy draulic cement ; that the bottom of the manure pit should be in a slightly inclined position, so as to carry the liquid manure and drainings into a manure tank, which should be close by. The tank should be provided with a pump, so as to return the liquid matter to the heap in dry weather. The heap should likewise be well trodden." FEEDING POULTRY IN WINTER. —Hens re quire in winter, to make them lay eggs, something to form the shells, as lime, old plaster, pounded oyster shells, or even coal ashes will be beneficial to some extent. — Tltey also require fresh meat two or three times a week, in order to produce the great est number of eggs, of which they are ca pable in cold weather. Any refuse meat front the kitchen will do as well as the best. Boiled potatoes, mixed with pepper, and fed warm, are excellent food, as a change.
