an
Wben n nimal moves certain
muscles are contracted. When the
motionB are very active end great force
is exerted, as wben ft draft animal
works, these contractions are severe
and extensive. One of the conditions
of animal life is, that wben the fibers
cf which every muscle consists are
contracted and the muscles set into
motion, a certain portion of the sub
stance of these libers and consequent
ly or the muscle, is wasted, or used
op, or disorganized; for all these
terms are equivalent ones in this
sense. A portion of the living tex
ture of the muscle dies, and is chang
ed into lifeless, dead, effete matter,
just as though so much of it had 'cn
consumed ia a fire or subjected t J the
. destructive action of corosive acids
.ivi;.a The ehatfired dead mat
ter undergoes a chemical conversiou
hv means of the blood which con-
etantlr circulates through the minute
omiiiiirr vessels which connect the
arteries with the Teins. The blood,
loaded with the products of this dead
matter, passes through the kidneys,
and there deposits a part of its load,
which appears as the ammonia or
urea of the urine. Another part is
deposited in the lungs and appears as
the carbonic acid and the water
Which are given off at every respira
tion. These matters deposited by
the blood are thrown off from the
pystcm, and the blood relieved from
them becomes again pare, passes
through the heart, from thence to
the arteries and takes up another
load, returning again by the veins.
This is the action which goes on in
cessantly in a living animal. As
life can not exist, without motion
to some extent, if it is only that mo
tion ueeded to breathe and kept the
heart ia action, there is always this
u'lste and buildin? up
going on. it ia wen Know mo ci j
person that the waste of the body
here described is made up by matter
derived from the food. Therefore,
life can not exist without food with
out a decrease of the substance of the
body, and this decrease of the sub
" eUnce is what we know as the wast
ing process of starvation, and that is
only possible to exist for a short peri
od. It is seen that ft certain supply
of food is reeded to maintain the
mere life of an animal. But when an
animal is obliged to exert its muscles
severely its living processes are
hastened. The waste is enormously
increased, in proportion to the enor
mous increase of muscular force ex
erted, to do the work over that ex
erted in simply breathing. The in
creased waste calls for increased
supply of blood to carry it off, and
increased supply of air to receive;
it from the blood and expel it
through the lungR, the increased se
cretion of urea from the kidneys be-
I . mi r .1 -
ing proportionate, mereiore me
circulation and breathing of a work
ing animal is quickened. The in
creased supply of nutriment to main
tain the animal in condition. There
fore it is that we need to feed our
working animals well with nutritions
and readily digested food, and Each
ft kind of food also as shall not inter
fere with the process of breathing or
add excessive weight to the stomach.
We need to preserve the exact bal
. tnee of nature. The feeder is skillful
in propotion to his success in main
taining this balance, and the whole
art of feeding etock of any kind, j
young and growing, mature and fat
tening, breeding and milking, and
working stock, Biroply consists in pro
viding exactly for this imperative
natural necessity the supply of this
waste of the system. As we know of
what elements this consists, we can
judge exactly of what elements the
food that is to restore it must con
sist. The waste is mainly carbonic
ncid, water and nitrogen. The food '
needed to Bupply the waste, then, i3
fuch as contains starch, sugar and
albumen the first and second sup
plying the carbon needed, and the
third the nitrogen. Grains contain
these substances ia the most concen
trated form and in . greatest propor
tionate quantity, roots and leaves of
plants being less rich in them.
Therefore the extra food for working
cattle ehould consist of those grains
which are richest in starch and alba
' men, and which are in plentiful sup
ply, and therefore cheap. Corn, oats,
Leans, peas, linseed, and some others
meet tbVneccssities of working ani
mals. To make the feed more readily
digestible, and to prevent more mus
rular exercise in eating and convert
ing them into nutriment than is nee
( ssary for this.useless exertion, as
has been explained, is a waste of
fod the food should be ground as
finely as possible. To prevent over
loading of the stomach, it should be
fed frequently and in small quantities
The quantity should be proportioned
to tbe muscular exertion required,
and should be increased or diminish
ed accordingly. It ehould also be re
membered that the waste is instantly
ccurrent upon exertion, while repair
is a more deliberate process. The
finding should therefore be begun a
few days previous to the beginning
of the labor. Eighteen pounds of
hay per day will keep a horse or an
ox in steady condition when it is not
at work; on being put to work we
may suppose the demand upon
the Fystem to be at once doubled.
Rvit thirty -six pounds of hay would
1c too Lulkj to" becontained in a
hors'a Rtomach and concentrated
food of equal value should be substi
tuted. ; 'Corn' and ;" oats' kjsscss
times as much flesh producing value
as the best lay, , We ehould, there
fore, add 12 pounds of corn or oat
meal per dav to a horse or ox in
addition to eighteen pounds of hay.
A quart of meal weighs 1 J pounds,
and eight quarts would therefore be !
a sufficient addition to T the standard
food of an animal when it ia put to
work. There will be an exception to
this rule, w hich must be met by a ju
dicioos discretion, but in general tbe!
result brought out by the forgoing
rational process accords exactly with
the practice of obwrvaot and careful !
feeders.
fru.t, ia my estimation. I use half ft
pound of sugar to a quart jar of fruit;
cherries, peaches, pears and raspber
ries will do with six ounces. Cook
quart jars twenty to thirty minutes,
according to hardness of fruit. Keep
watch of your cans while boiling,
and as fast as the fruit ia the can
lowers, 11 up with well ripened fruit;
next morniDg test your jars; and if
they do not hold, bdil them over

IrrORf Mr
The best way to give meal to cows
is either to mix it with some cut hay,
moistened so that the meal will ad
here to it, or to scald it anJ give it
in tbe shape of & thin gruel as a
drink. In the Crst place it is neces
sary to perfect digestion that the
saliva should be mixed with tbe food
and the food should be returned from
the first stomach to the mouth for a
second chewing or rumination. This
is only done when the food is bulky,
requiring considerable chewing. In
the second place the gullet, or pass
ago from the mouth to the Etomacb,
in ruminants, opens directly into the
third stomach, having intermediate
longitudinal openings closed by lips,
by which the food enters the" first
stomache. If the food is bulky and
solid, it separates the lips of these
openings and finds an entrance to
either or both the Erst and second
stomach. If otherwise, it passes over
the closed lins and entercs the third
Btomacb. In the first case, by a
periodic inverted action of the gullet
the food is thrown in small quantities
from the etomacbs to the mouth,
where it is reduced to ft soft semi
liquid condition, in which state it is
passed easily to the third for diges
tion. In tue second place it misses
this process, of rumination, and is
therefore not in a condition for per
fect dicesiion. and the meal is seen
to pass away in considerable quanti
tics unaltered.

A good many farmers are rushing
iuto tbe dairy business under the im
pression that, the prods arc large
and sure. Tbey figure only on tbe
profit side of the ledger, acd do not
take into account losses liable to oc
cur in tLe different departments. We
do not w ish to discourage anyone from
entering upon dairy farming, for wc
believe it will compare favorably in
its pruGts, when conducted, with oth
er branches of farming; but we baye
named some of the disadvantages in
one department that of live stock
in order that men may see their own
way more clearly and not get to high
notions of tne proiits to De rcauzea.
We advise every farmer who is Go
ing well and making a fair income
for his special kind of farming, to be
cautions abont changing it for some
other branch concerning which ho is
not familiar; for the chances are that
tbe business will not yield any more
profit, and perhaps not so much as
tbe one with which he is acquainted.
We believe the profits from dairying
are often over estimated; and while
its advantages to topic of discussion
and laudation, it is proper that some
of the advantages be made to appear,
and then the balance of the account
may be struck, and no one need be
led astray.
A Gypsy Divorce.

SHOE STORE.
The practice of seeding down mead
ows in connection with some kin1 of
grain, is less common among our
best farmers than formerly Many
of them have learned from experience
that the various species of our culti
vated grasses actualiv succeed better
when sown alone than with rye,
wneat, and similar coarse growing
kinds of gram, which are likely to
smother and retard the growth of the
delicate grasses sown therewith.
Bat when grass seed is sown in
spring, and upon rich soils, the
coarse growing weeds are likely to
bo more injurious than ordinary
kinds of grain, whereas, if sown in
fall, early enough to insure a good
start before cold weather, tbe weed
nuisance will be almost, if not entire
ly, obviated.
Wheat, rye, andjoat stubble may be
turned under immediately after har
vest, and allowed to remain for a few
weeks, or until' the first fall rains;
then harrowed and the grass seed
sown. If rye or wheat should ap
pear from the scattered grain left at
harvest time, cr the land is not in
first-rate tilth, cross ploughing may
be necessary before sowing. There
is nothing gained by sowing the grass
seed too early, but if heavy showers
should come in August, we prefer
this month to September in the more
Northern States. Usually the first
week in September is a safe time to
escape severe droughts, and insure a
full growth and a fair crop of hay tbe
ensuing season. If it is desirable to
add clover to timothy, the seed may
be sown early the following spring.
If any of our readers expect to seed
down any land next spring with the
hardy perennial grasses, we would
suggest that they try fall seeding to
a limited extent, and see which of tbe
two systems is the bert. We have
practised both, and aro decidedly in
favor of sowing grass seed alone, and
in the fall, instead of with grain and
in the spring. Weekly Sun.
A camp of gypsies is near Wash
ington, and a Jlepublieax reporter
has visited it and talked with Gitana,
a gypsy maiden. We quote :
"" We suppose you are human be
ings and have to get divorced ?"
"Sometimes; but its a dreadful
thing with us to get divorced. It
causes grief and mourning, and blood
has to be shed."
"Well pray tell us how you get
divorced ?"
' I know I am talking too much,"
and tbe Gitana trembled as she
spoke, but a half dozen bright silver
quarters, thrown into her lap, seemed
to give cer assurance, "i know i
am talking too much, but 1 H tell you.
It is this way: When a man and his
wife are to be separated, it is done
by the sacrifice of a horse."
"One is picked out which is entire
ly sound and free from a bruise, or
even a scratch, and he is led out to
the spot where the divorce is to take
place, and exactly at twelve o'clock.
The men cast lots for the one who
shall kill the horse, and, for this oc
casion he is the prie3t. The priest
takes a long pole in his hand and
walks around the horse several times,
and in a loud voice praises the good
qualities, and names all tbe persons
who have owned it."
The horse is then led into tbe tent
of the woman who ia to be divorced.
If he kicks round and jumps about,
the woman has been very bad ; if be
keeps quiet, she has not been so bad.
The priest then takes a large knife and
stabs the horse to the heart, and
when it is stretched out on the ground,
the husband takes his place on one
side of it, and the wife on the other.
They join hands across the horse,
and repeat some sentences in the gyp
sy language. Then they walk three
times around the horse in opporite
directions.
"The last time, when at the head
of the horse,v thev face each other
and speak, and do the same thing
at the tail. They again shake hands
and separate, one going north and
the other south. She never marries
again, and has to wear a mourning
veil, and big shoes on her feet fhe.
heart of the horse is then taken out,
roasted, sprinkled with brandv, and
eaten by. tbe husband and his friends.
The horse is then buried on tbe spot.
The husband can marry again."
Hauling- Hannre.
A correspondent of the Sural X:w
Yorker says: "I am always provoked
when I see one man loading a wagon,
hauling it a quarter cfa mile, un
loading it ana returning. 1 am
worse than that; I am mad when I
see any one hauling oat manure and
throwing it down in heaps. The
true way is to spread the manure
from the wagon and spread it evenly
over the ground. It is easier done
in that way for several reasons: 1.
The load is portable, and can be
moved forward to suit, enabling you
to vary the amount put on as circum
stances require. 2. There being a
good board bottom to shovel from is
much easier to handle it than when
lying on the ground. 3. From the
elevated position on the wagon it re
quires only about cne-half tie exer
tion to do the work that it docs from
the level of the ground. But the ad
vocates oi tne tieap theory will sry,
the manure wastes by being exposed
to the sua and air. I have very lit
tle faith in such theories. I "have
hauled manure and spread on land in
summer before the land was plowed,
and never in my life did I see the
same amount of manure produce Let
ter results.

A Monkey la Trouble.
Sam Wilcoxen, of Virginia City,
hasa small menagerie of monkeys,
badgers, foxes, cayotes and the like,
lie also has & largo Newfoundland
dog, on whose back he sometimes
E laces one of his pet monkey when
e is going for a walk about the
town, the monkey fastened to the
coiiar oi tne uog uy a string, as a
general thing the monkey enjoys his
ride, but wc saw him a day or two
since wben he would willingly have
trauca mni3cit ou lor some less pnvi-
legea specimen of nis species. His
canine steed, being allowed to roam
the streets at will, saw another dog
that he thought he could whip, and
forthwith went lor him like a hairy
nurricane. In a moment both do.
were on their hind leg3 and
ior eacu oiner use two sausa?o ma
chines. This made times very lively
ior tne mousey, as tue strange dog
evidently considered hira as part and
parcel of his antagonist Such wails
of despair as that monkey uttered,
and such hideous face3 as he made
we never heard or saw. Ho would
climb down the side of the dog he be
strode opposite to where the war
was going on, and thence peep over
occasionally, his jaws quivering, vis
age distorted, and his eyes starting
from their sockets with terror. As
the dogs were constantly changing
sides, it made times awfully lively
with the monkey. Wheu he jumped
to the ground the siring held him,
and he found hiniseif trampled under
the feet of both friend nn-.l foe, nnd
he was glad to get again upon tbe
back of bis sit ed and face tae battle.
Tbe poor monkey was in a worse
fix than tbe buy who stood ou the
burning deck, and had not the dogs
been separated be must have been
rendered a fit subject for the Stocton
Insane Asylum. As it was, ho did
not get over examining the end of his
tail for wounds for fuur hours after
tLe battle ; perhaps he had fears of
hydorpbobia.

A young lady, tho daughter of the

the young girl was in his amis. They

silence by saying:
" ell, you see what proof I have
given you of my aflectiouS: I hone
you will make me a good husband."
He was a surly fellow, and crufflv
answered: "Perhaps I may and per-
nap3 not." fctie niaile no reply, but
after a silence of some minutes she
suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, what
shall we do ? I have left my money
behind me in my room." "Then "
said he, "We must go back and fetch
it." they were soon at the house, the
ladder was again placed, the lady re
mounted, while the ill-natnred lover
waited below. But Bhe delayed to
come, and so he gently called : " "Are
you coming r - ween Ebe looked out
of the w indow and said : "Pcrbap3
I may, and perhaps not ;" and then

to depart alone.

TEia!" Our answer is, that they remove
tho cuuse of disease, and tho patient re
covers Lis health. They aro tho great
blood purifier and a lilc-givin principle,

of tho system. Never before in tho

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr
egar Bitters the most wonderful Ia
vigorant that ever sustained ta sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain lonj
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroved by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.

their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so aanng sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements cf the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. Ia their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon theso various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for "the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid rnatter with which tho
bowel3 are loaded, at tho samo time
stimulating tho secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of tho digestivo organ.?.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vlxegar
Bitters. No epidemic can tako hold
of a system thus fore-armed.

Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc.
Ia these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vinegar Bittehs have
shown their great curative powers ia tho
most obstinate- and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
tho Blood, Liver, Kidnovs and Bluider,
these Bitters have no eaual. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.

Scurfs, Discolorations cf tho Skin, Humors
and Diseases of tbe Skin of whatovcr name
or nature, aro bterally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short tiino by the use
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other "Norms,
larking in the system of so manj thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
thelmintics will free the system from worms
like tneso .tatters.
For Female Complaints, inyoun
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or tho turn of Wo, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Wood when
ever you find it3 impurities bursting through
the skin ia Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when yoa find it obstructed and
slni-gish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is
fcnl; your feelings will tell voa when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
