Unsound Hores and Hard Driving.
In this agt: of steamboats, railroads
and electricity, vvheu people, in their
frantic madness,must be whirled with
the speed of the swiftest rail-car up
the mountain, or down the precpice, a
perfectly sound horse is an animal of
rare occurrence. Horses cannot keep
pace with a steam-car ; but men are
impatient to travel at such a speed
ttiat horses are urged beyoud what
they are able to endure. Consequent
ly, their wind fails ; their lungs are
injured, and they fall an easy prev to
the many diseases which are most sure j
to follow. The farmer who has fat j
asid youug horses, which are calcula-1
ted for plowing and heavy work, sees |
the flee' carriage-hors pass him,when j
they are' both travelling on the same |
road, and lie "whips up," thinking "it j
will n >t hurt his l'at team to move a :
little faster." Not accustomed to such j
sp' td, nor calculated for it,their wind |
tails; their nostrils expand like the j
opening of a volcano ; their flanks j
heave e jticulsively ; they tremble and j
can scarcely get breathe. "Why," he i
•v !anus, "I did not drive fast !" Docs j
seen treatment injure a horse ? Let j
the ghosts of tlie departed horses,that |
have returned to their mother earth j
by b -iug over driven, answer this in- 1
t irogation ! Hard driving is one j
very fruitful cause of unsoundness.—
Indeed, I have no hesitancy in affirm
ing th it full three-fourths of the hor
ses which show marks of unsound
ness, were rendered s > by hard driv- \
ing.
Another cause of unsoundness is ex
posing colts, during the iir.st and sec
ond winters, to the pinching cold and I
pelting storms,without any protection i
iut heaven's broad canopy for a cov- I
criug an l the cold and frozen goouud,
or a pile of snow, for a bed, witti not
aif i nough to eat. It is truly sur
prising that colts live at all under such
t-lrcumsiauces. But multitudes of men
aie tin wise enough to think that such
treatment "makes them tough !" It
does, indeed,give them an uncommon
ly tlii. k,tough skiu, but a delicate and j
t -iidoi constitution. None but tin |
barbarous will countenance such bar- i
barisni.
Another cause rf unsoundness is too I
clot--.? confinement in foul and ill veu- j
lilatcd stables, and feeding too high, j
with but little or no exercise, for sev- i
crai successive days.
Another cause is the shameful, cru-:
< I and unwise treatment which young '
horses receive when they are being j
broken.
\\ ho has not seen colts, only three j
three years old, hitcued before a cart, |
or a plow, or harrow, or a heavy draft 1
<>f some kind, alone, and lashed, and j
beaten, and starved, and run up bill, j
etc , unti" they appeared like an old !
broken-down stager? It is true that
horses sometimes inherit unsoundness. I
Vet,as a general rule,it can be traced
directly to improper management. — ,
Moderate driving, every day, with :
proper care in feeding, watering, and ■
protection from old stoims of winter, !
would prolong the lives of good hor- j
sos to such a degree that they would j
(inally die with old age.
There are numerous instances of the
great longevity of horses that have !
been always treated properly by care- j
In! managers. There are scores of ex-!
cedent young horses now in the State
of New York that were got by the no ;
bio horse "Ileury (.'lav," when lie was
thirty five years old ! S Tv T.
TIIQ Quality of Eggs.
Few people ever think there is any
difference in the quality of the eggs j
they eat. Yet there ?s quite as mar
ked a difference as there is in the th sh
of the fowls. Fowls that are fed on
the fill' r kinds of cereal grain furnish
much better eggs than those that sub.
ist on grass and oats and buckwheat
\\ heat, or wheaten dough or bread
always make the richest eggs. (I. N-
Beiueiit writes on this subject:
"Though m st farmers keep fowls and
raise their own eggs, there are many
who have not learned the difference
there is in the richness and flavor o!
eggs produced by well fed hens and
those from birds that have been half
starved through our winters. There
will bo sumo difference in the size,but
far more in the quality. The volk of
on- would be large, fine colored and
of good consistence, and the albumen
or white,clear and pure,while the con
tents ot the other will be watery and
in agre, as though there were not vi
ta '• tv or substance enough in the pa
rent fowl to properly carry out and
complete the work nature had sketch
ed. Iu order, thoreforo, to have good
eggs,the fowls should be well fed and
provided with an abundance of fine
gravel,that they may be able to grind
and prepare their food for digestion."
In regard to raising chickens Mr.
Bernent says : "It is a fact that most
old women who live in cottages,know
la tter how to rear chickens than any
other persons ; they art? more success
ful,and tiiis may he traced to the fact
that they keep but few fowls,and these
I >\vi- are allowed to run freely in the
house,t 1 roll in the ashes,to approach
tin lire, and to pick up any crumbs or
eatable mors .'ls they may find on the
ground,and are nursed with the great
est care and indulgence. By wainith
and judicious feeding, a heu may be
made to lay as many eggs in two years
as she would under ordinary circum
stances in three ; and every one knos,
or ought to know,that a fowl fatted at
i wo years old is much more tender and
palatable, than one that is older."
Bots m Horses.
One of our most valuable horses died
a few nights since,by a sudden attack
of terrible distress in the stomach.—
The cans * of his death was supposed
tn he tie bots, and on jw.<t mortem ex
amination, these animals were found
in great numbers in his stomach. A
patch was cutout and exhibited at the
house,en which the ugly-looking crea- j
tnres swat med as thickly as tiny c aid j
lie together, each of them with bis tn- j
pering and hooked beak plunged in
the coat of the stomach. A place as
large as the palm of one's hand was
completely covered with th m, and by
the side of that was a patch nearly us
large from which the inside coating
<>! the stomach was entirely eaten j
away.
ilic victim in the present instance,
had been iu good health till within a :
few hours of his death. He had done
a rnth'-r hard but not unusual day's
work en a warm day, and thereupon
at night fell sick, allowed signs of ter-
rible distress iu the stomach, and died
before morning. Post mortem exami
nation showed that corrosions of the
coat of the stomach killed him, aud
greedy swarms of bots were close by
the corrosions, with their heads bur
rowed in the flesh.
On these facts our common sort of
observers raise the theory that the
bots, being always present more or
less, in horses, are usually content to
feed on the contents of the stomach,or
the mucus of its coatings, in a harm
less way ; but when, by overwork or
other causes, the horse is weakened
and incipient inflammation takes place
in the stomach, they fall to aud incon
tinently devour the very walls of the
house in which they dwell.
Whither this theory will stand proof
or not in respects to bots, I am satis
lied that it is substantially a true rep-
I resentatiou of the operations of many
■ other parasites. Their way is to re
; main harmless and unperceived in or
-1 dinary states of the health of their vie
| tims, and to seize the opportunity of
| some incidental weakness, to bore in-
I to the vitals and insure death.— One-
I din Circular.

A MODEL STERCORARY. —In his notes
i among farmers, S. E. Todd of the N.
| Y. Times , thus alludes to the manure
conveniences of Dr. F. A. llexaroer,
! New Castle, N. Y.:
"The floors of the stables are water
| tight, aud the surface decends a trifle,
so that all the liquid flows in gutters
into the manure pit directly iu rear of
the stalls. Small flap doors are pre
pared close to the floor, which provide
a convenient opening for throwing out
all the solid litter into the manure pit,
which is about 100 feet long, l feet
wide and 4 feet deep,substantially ee
j mented on the inside and bottom, so
j that no surplus water can enter or es
| cape. At one end of the pit stands the
j privy, which furnishes nvxch excellent
fertilizing material. The manure is
spread around evenly and covered
with muck, or rich, mellow soil. The
pit will contain about 200 loads ; and
on that small farm it is filled and emp
tied three or four times annually with
the choicest compost. With such a
pit no manure is wasted. As the liquid
\ from the stables is not always suffi
j cient to keep the manure, containing
| a large proportion ol nitrogenous mat
; ter, from becoming 'fire-fanged,' the
i leader from the eave-troughs is so ar
' ranged that auy desirable amount ot
! watt r can be turned into the manure
pit during the fall of rain. The pit is
| so arranged that a cart or wagon may
be driven along close by its side, from
I end to end, thus facilitating the great
; labor of forking and shoveling the
: compost."
FARM IMPROVEMENT. —In regard to
| improving the soil,it is said that those
I that claim to do so with clover and
plaster, neglect making and applying
j manures. They believe in gases.—
j But a good .arraer adopts no easy
philosophy ; he uses all available
means of improvement. All fertilizers
| should 1 e taken from cities. To do so
would make the vicinity of Lockport
| like a garden. Cities should have
plenty of room ; should have lots of
| good size, and thus have more Coun
try in the cities. People should go
away from the business centres and
get large building lots ; this would
make farmers on a small scale of all
j citizens.
Median cs should not show models
that work well in the air, but will not
stand the practical test. It is a bad
policy for farmers to buy poor, cheap
i t mis The saving of a few cents on
a bolt iu a reaper, may cost the far
mer S2O or 30 damage by failing in a
| hurrying time in harvest. Mechan
-1 ios should always have good materi
als, and make good work.— Major

How TO BUILD A CORN-HOUSE. —The
i evils attending the corn-house as usu
ally constructed, are—the amount of
rain and snow which drive in between
the vertical siding necessarily open
to admit air,and what is far worse,the
moulding of the corn next the floor
for the want of air. Having occa
, sion.a few years since,to build a corn
house, I adopted the following meth
od for avoiding these evils : First—
• the frame was thickly studded to re
ceive horizontal siding. Next, the
siding was clap-boards or common
■ house-siding, six inches wide,and lap
ped one inch and a half. To admit
air, put a thin board under the lap on
each stud. It may be front one-quar
ter to one-half an inch thick, and two
inches square. Or perhaps a better
form is six inches, or the width of a
siding in length and two inches wide,
slanting off the upper end with a draw
knife or shave. Strike a line on each
siding for the lap,and tack the blocks
on to the line and the stud above. A
little light snow will occasionally
drive through these crevices,but will
soon disappear without sensibly wet
ting the corn.
To prevent moulding in tbe'bottom
make a floor of boards three inches
wide,with spaces of an inch between.
The flooring should be over an inch
thick. This kind of flooring,of course,
is only for the bins. The joists or
sleepers should be near together to
support it. On each floor you can
make the bins as wide as you please.
fed"*Tli" Guthrie (Iowa) I'idette
gives some figures about a herd of
stock raised near Dale City. The
herd consists of seventy-two head of
two-year old steers, bought in that
country last winter, and herded out
on the prairie during the summer.-
One of them weighed 1,320 pounds,
another 1,280 pounds, another 1,250,
and four others averaged 1,227 lbs.
The average weight of the whole herd
was 1,020 pounds, and a full carload
of them will average over 1,200.
SHEER ESSENTIAL TO GOOD FARMING.—
One thing that struck me very forci
bly was that all farmers testified that
sheep-raising was absolutely indispen
sable to successful fanning ; that their
| manure was necessary to preserve the
I fertility of the soil ; and that without
them the whole Kingdom would in a
; few generations be reduced to barren
ness and sterlity. It is in this view
that 1 regard sheep-raising in this
country as more important to the ulti
mate and permanent prosperity of the
country, than on account of their pres
ent profits. Whatever else may hap
pen, we cannot permit this virgin soil
and these beautiful fields of ours to be
reduced to barrenness by the time they
pass into the hands of our children
and grand-children. Their fertility
must be preserved at all hazards,even
at the expense of present profit.
