First, and . nearly twenty years ago, l
the mowing of pass for hay before
it is seeded. _
2. Root eilture for food for cattle
and sheep.
8. Some permanent gratis, never
under any circumstances to beplowed.
4. - Breeding mutton sheep` : -. and
Managing, them so a 8 , yo bring in an
anntia.. income from mutton- and
wool at the same time -by' growing
'great quatities of riots, increasing
the manure so much- as to grow a
great deal mere. grain, and more of
every variety of farm produce.
5. By growing mangolds and car
rota, and feeding milch cows. with
these roots, and with bright and fine
flavored hay, mannadturing the fin-1
est - quality of butter in' the winter.
0. 'Breeding powerful, highly-bred
horses, to be -sold to carry heavy
gentlemen in England in the nation
al sp6rt4 fodiunting—being a style
of horseanding 'the readiest
sale at a very high price.
7„, For_ more than
_fifteen years, the
getting rid of those " - Useless append
ages nail very dangerous weapons
—horns on.the heads of the bovine
race. r
S. The confining of logs instead
of ranging• about,' injuring -crops,
grass, gardens and poultr,y, arid the
contrary With fowls.
Many- other changes, 'etc., have
been recommeaded, and, •as I have
lived to see the best and must intelli
gent of our agriculturists anxious to
adopt some of these changes,. I hope
to see the rising generation enter ,
fully into. mixed , stock farming, and
going on upon the high feeding of
theland as well as the fattening of
&title and sheep.
'High fanning sounds high, but it ,
does not mean expensive and reck
less feeding or manuring:- ?:: - Vliose
who are called high farmers in Eng
land-see their way elearer'than the
Norking farmer •who does not occupy
W fourth of the land. I assure timid
agriculturists that they:
apply manure so that it wilt stell - on
the crops which will be eaten by the
live stibch torthe farm, and any clear
headed man can see how• a double
advantage is gained from thn combi
nation of highly feeding bOt Otock.
and sell.
Hornless, cattle are the more need.:
, .
ed. cat .account of the . exportation
alive 'which \ causes the absence of
horns.to be sb,veryklesitable. They
took the priies,at Paris. over evety
other 4? . .reed, and have; .singe =proved .
superior so that fashionf-lind preju
dice will have to give way. When
the ininaaement of mutton sheep -is
such as to bring shear hits and draft;
ewes whiCh hive bred only twice to
be worth about $l2 to 15 each, bare '
shorn, and havingfleeces worth about
$4 each, who will warit.tb go hack to
miserable lambs at $3 each, and old.<
