gtpintltural. Feeding Horses. Tiiere bus never been discovered any hor ses, for elegance of form and power of en durance,superior,or even equal to the steeds of Arabia. Probably most persons suppose that this superiority is entirely due to a dif ference in breed ; but as there is no reason to believe that at the creation any horse was made better than his fellow, it must be concluded that the reason why many horses, and particularly American ones, are not so well suited to their places as the Arabian, is because their original qualities have be come deteriorated, either by bad usage, wrong feeding, ignorance in breeding, or all combined : and 1 think the right feed ing of a horse is as requisite a condition to health and strength as any other. Dr. Smith, in his "Pilgrimage to Pales tine," says that the Arab's usual method of feeding their horses is as follows : I our or five quarts of fine pounded or cut straw, in which from two to four quarts of large horse beans are mixed, are given regularly night and morning. While shedding their coat in spring, all that can be spared are allowed to range the mountains for fresh feed, about four weeks, when their regular diet is resumed. Upon this feed the Ara bian and Turkish horses travel over the roughest routes from ten to fifteen hours in a day, for weeks in succession, without ex hibiting fatigue To compare this method of feeding with the old-fashioned American j way, is but to discern the excellence of the I former and the badness of the latter. Here ; many farmers,if they intend to keep a horse ! well, as they term it, stuff him with hay at j any and every time they approach the sta- i ble. Horses need some time for digestion as well as men, and when kept continually distended, they often become "pot-bellied," ; and besides it costs far more to keep them ! than necessary, and renders them less use- j ful than they would otherwise be. Lately, however, there has been quite an improve- j inent made in feeding horses. I allude to the plan of chopping the fodder and mixing it with meal and water ; this lessens the cost, and, perhaps,improves the horse ; still this is open for objections, the principal of which is the practice of wetting the feed. I \o animal ever needs to wash down its feed ; such treatment weakens the diges live powers, and generally, in time, acts like physic, and thereby lessens their strength. To feed a horse, or indeed any animal, correctly, requires considerable j knowledge of its nature and constitution. I A horse needs very nutritive feed,also some- | thing to keep up the distention of the stoni- j aeh ; for these purposes, meal or beans, j mixed with a few quarts of fine ehopped timothy hay, can be nsfcd, and fed regular ly twice or thrice a day ; the feed should , not be wet much, only just moistened.— ] Again, a horse should be allowed to drink at stated times. There is more in regular- , ity in tending a horse, than many persons > have dreamed. Most men permit their hor-' sea to drink at every opportunity ; but it ! is hazardous for horses to Jrink much cold j water when they are warm and perspiring, : as I have known them to die from drinking ' when heated. I do not see why the same plan of feed- i ing horses could not more generally be ad- j opted with proportional advantages,if feed ing cattle ; but perhaps there is in the j minds of many farmers, the objection that j such a manner of feeding would necessiate more work and time, so as to counterbal ance all profit derived from its adoption, j There is, indeed, soundness in this object- j ion, and I can hope for its removal only as i the era of machinery advances. In En-' gland, many farmers have no such hinder ance, as they employ steam engines on j large farms—and would it not be more ad- j vantageous for American farmers to use j steam more than they do ? They could j then with case cut the fodder, turnips and i other roots ; thrash their grain ; unload j their hay by the aid of the horse-pitehfork ; irrigate their land, and employ it in many | other ways.—Ex Liming and Salting Hay. A correspondent of the Western Rural I communicates to that paper his experience in reference to liming hay for the purpose of absorbing moisture, and preventing the hay from becoming musty. He says : "My hay was rather moist when I put it in the mow. I salted it,as I always do,and limed it with air-slacked lime, putting on two or three quarts to the ton,at intervals,as when j salting hay." The hay. when fed out in ! winter, he states, had no must about it,and ! was, in quality, equal to any that had been j put up. The kind was, in part, a mixture j of timothy and red-top,and one lot was made- j up of timothy and clover. We have had no experience in liming hay j for the purpose above indicated, and, there-1 fore, cannot say that any had result would j flow from feeding hay treated in this way ; but we should not care to use any great | quantity of such kind of hay for stock,even though the lime had all the virtues claimed for preventing must, &c. As to salting hay in the mow, we have become well satisfied, . for repeated trials, that it is a very bad j practice. Salted hay injures stock by com pelling the animal, at times, to take more ■ salt in the system than is needed, thereby deranging the health, and sometimes pro ducing serious losses. We have seen cows fed on hay salted in the mow, and appar ently of good quality, which produced very bad results, running the stock down thin and poor, and necessitating an entire abau donment of its use. A very small quantity of salt or of lime used occasionally on hay might not produce any injurious effect on stock ; but the trouble is, when the prac tice becomes established, it is apt to be used frequently, and in such quantities as to prove injurious. To make good hay, proper attention as to cutting and drying must be observed, and the application oj no substance in the mow can be used as a substitute for certain operations in the field. A good hay tedder in the meadow is the best means of getting rid of moisture,and in pro viding against musty hay. Recommendations for curing hay in the mow by the use of salt, lime, etc., are of very doubtful consistency, and lor the most part do more hurt thau good, since many persons will store their hay in a half-cured condition, depending on the salt or lime, to do what can only properly be done by well directed labor in the field. The making of good hay is an art very imperfectly prac ticed, as the condition of stock in spring of ten bears witness. There are many old far mers who seem to have very poor notions in reference to cutting, curing and storing hay,in order to to secure it in the best man ner, and so that it will contain the mostuu trimeut. Immense sums are annually lost to the country by carelessness and inatten tion in properly securing the hay crop. A good deal of hay stored,is little better than straw, and not from any fault of weather, but because improperly or left standing un til the stems had become too far changed into woody fiber. There are seasons and Hums when it is very difficult to cure grass properly, bat <ven ill bad weather the ju dicious management of the spreader and haycap is to be preferred to curing in tbc mow with salt Arid it is a question whetli- er lime might not also prove injurious to stock when used in sufficient quantities to be serviceable in curing hay in the mow. If any of our readers have had any exper ience in the way suggested, we should be glad to hear from them on the subject.— Utica Herald. How Farmers can keep their Farms Productive. This subject is one of special interest, and deserves the attention of every agricultur ist. By w! at method is the richness of the soil to be preserved and continued in a pro ductive state ? This question is based on the following assumptions, viz.: that the amount of produce depends on the quantity of manure supplied as food for plants, of whatever kind they may be. Although na ture has furnished man with a soil of vir gin richness and fertility, it cannot contin ue so while we draw from it yearly, and continually, our vast resources of food and clothing. The soil must be renovated, or it will cease to yield her increase for the supply of our wants. The farmers of the Southern States, by neglecting to renew their exhausted lands, have become poor, and in many instances have abandoned them, as worn out and worthless. Where as, had they, from time to time, renewed the fertility of their lands with sutiuble manure, there would not now be seen those vast, deserted and worn out plantations that exist in that section of the Union. If we do not renew the fertility of our soil, it will cease to recompense us for our toil.— We must expend money and labor upon it, in order to provide for our wants,and those of our families. In order to develope the resources that nature has imparted to the soil, it must be well tilled. Suppose a man should take a quantity of new land for the purpose of gaining a live lihood,and should yearly plant it with corn, or sow it with wheat ; if he should neglect to renew it, in a few years it w .uld degen erate, and his crops would grow scanty and soon fail altogether. Now, what is necessary to keep his land in good condi tion is thorough cultivation, by draining (if it be wet,) and by careful and judicious manuring ; deep plowing, also, and har rowing are necessary to pulverize the soil and give free passage for the roots of plants to descend. By thus conducting his farm, the owner may, for an indefinite time, reap a sure and plentiful reward, for his labor, and at the same time keep his lands in prime condition. It is not judicious management of a farm j to plant or sow one kind of grain from year j to year, as this will soon exhaust the soil, I unless highly manured. A rotation of crops ! is indispensable also to prevent the land from degenerating. As to the kind of fer tilizers to be used, almost every farmer knows, or ought to know, what kinds are best adapted to his lands. Barn-yard, sta ble and bog manure, ashes, lime,guano,and all kinds of vegetation in a state of decay, are useful as manures, and should be care fully preserved for use. Washing Horses Feet and Legs- In the Rural American of April 15th, I j noticed an article on the above subject, ; which it contains some valuable bints to j owners ol horses, 1 beg leave to differ in : the main or essential part ol the theory ud-1 vanced. He says : "A good plan is to rub the mud off the horse as clean as possible with dry straw,and the next morning wash his legs as clean as soap and water will do i it. Now the idea is, mud should never re-! main on horses' legs during the night to be ! washed off in the morning, and the horse j driven immediately into the mud again, as ' would sureiy be the case if washed in the i morning. It would be far better to rub the J mud off in the morning than to wet the legs with water. The correct method is, to | thoroughly cleanse and wash every particle of mud from their feet and lower part of their legs, with warm soap sads, and then cover them by winding small woolen blank ets kept for the purpose, to remain on uutil perfectly dry, and no longer ; this should he done immediately on putting them in the stable. The mud on the other portions ol their body should be allowed to dry, and then be cleaned with card and brush. In this connection allow me to answer i an inquiry that appeared some time since ; in the Rural, viz : llow to cure scratches ? : I have seen numerous applications recom j mended, and tried many of thein, and have i found the only sure method to treat them, | is to cleanse the blood and system thorough ! ly, keep the feet as clean as possible, and j use some application which will both kill | the scratches and heal the feet ; the only j thing I have ever tried is one part tincture | of myrrh, and two parts sweet oil, well mix !ed every time before using. For cleansing | the blood, use a strong decoction of the j barks of white ash, fagalder, poplar, black j cherry and butternut, the roots of burdock, | dandelion and sarsaparilla, about equal ! parts, to be given by mixing with ground feed ; this will prove beneficial also to hor ses that arc not troubled with this com plaint. DICK REAPER. Avoca, X. Y., 1866. MANAGEMENT OF ROSES. —Roses may be propogated from cuttings as soon as their first bloom is over, and by budding at any time when the buds and bark are in proper condition. Remove decayed flowers and seed vessels from your rose-bushes,and they will bloom the more freely. Treat them to a dose of soapsuds occasionally from the laundry. Suffer no seed vessels to ripen upon any lloweriug plant, unless you wish to preserve it for any future sowing. Plants of which the strength is drawn to mature the seed vessels give a comparatively mea gre show of bloom.— Southern Cultivator. FEED LABORERS WELL. —We always found that it was infinitely better policy to set a good table and feed laborers well, than to ever give them a short meal, or try to get them to labor an unreasonable number of hours in a day. A good farmer will not seek to get extra work out of his laborers by turning day into twilight or night. La borers regard this practice as an imposition, and will become morose and discontented at the exaction. Besides, exhausted na ture requires a suitable time to recruit its energies, and should have it. MANAGEMENT OK BITTER.— Great care is re quired in salting or seasoning, whether for a distant or a home market. Over salted butter is not only less palatable to the taste but less healthful than fresh sweet butter. The same care is needed as to the box in which it is to be packed, whether it be a firkin in which it is to remain till used, or only in the box to take to market as fresh urup butter. The best and richest flavor ed article will be spoiled by sending it to the exhibition or to market in new and im proper boxes.— Maxmchusd.Lt Plouyhman. SWEET PICKLES. —Ripe cucumbers are very nice pickled in this way : Takeoff the skin, cut in slices after removing the seeds ; let them stand in salt water over night. Take two quarts good vinegar and two pounds brown sugar, scald well and then p-.iur over your cucumbers : repeat this every morn ing for a week and you will have a pickle that even poor teeth can masticate.

D., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County that he is permanently located in Waverly, N.Y., where he has been in the practice of his profession for the past four years. He would say that from his long and suc cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with all the different styles of work done in any and all Den tal establishments in city or country, and is better pre pared than any other Dental operator 111 the vicinity to do work the best adapted to the many and different cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist, as he understands the art of making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities lor doing the same. To those requiring under sets ot teeth lie would call attention to his new kind of work which consists ot porcelain for both plate and teeth, an J iorming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more natural in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need of the same arc invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and olten t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and ••Nitrous oxide'' administered with perfect safety, as over lour hundred patients within the last four years can testify. I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th of every month, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc cupied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff.)
