Teams will per- , form more labor on the same feed in a given time by giving them water every two or three hours, The water should stand in,* sun, if practicable. It should not be cold on any account. ---Orchard grass is said to be the hest pasture grown, and it is nearly equal to `'timothy for hay, if cut early, just as is begins to: blossom. . It comes- forward om two to three weeks earlier than all ther grasses usually grown, among us, with the exception pf clover, and it re- ainti green latest oft all in autumn. It 'yes the largest anioutit of forage per nnum and best endures a drouth. It an be grown en any land, but; the soil ught to be pretty rieh or else well ma- ured to obtain a good crop. The ground. use be well cleared of weeds, deeply lowed, and finely pulverized by the. har ow; before sowiug the seed, Then ow as early in the spring as pob- sible sow at the rate of 2.. to 3 bushels per acre, brush in, and roll. It may do to sow orchard grass in ',Se ternber, or as late as October in a mild climate, but early spring is the best•time. -Many of the most influential dairy- hien of the United States have been Making -zealous- efforts to teach the masses of farmers that certain breeds of cattle are better adapted to one purpose than another, The siuccessfut dairyman is aiming to develop a breed of cows which will excel in their milking charac- teristics, while the grazier desires cattle that willield more meat than milk and. butter. For milk the Ayrshire breedie selected by a large proportion of dairy- men as the.most profitable, • ' —A Middlesex Granger tells of a good oke played on two farmers bt about ) year, about -Remove all t end. .If sue foregoing m will be rooted b may be trans' 1 If placed in xi eral inches gi Some will gro to remove the mutilating th one side and water with a County, They were in doh joining the order, and concluded that they would have their wives join first and report.

The land wadrained marsh, plowed in drills 25 into es apart, and fertilized with 20 tone of ;ime manure, 336 pounds of ground bo e, and 168 pounds of guano per acre; We find the followingunder the he ding of "House Plants" in a popular an excellent family magazine : "Ladies whll` find their efforts to raise house pia nts frustrated by worms may be able to in success by boiling the earth be. for: `setting the plants. Use little water, and allow it to simmer away after a few } minutes of hard boil. Feeding Out Fodder. It has been asserted by some farmers who have been accustomed to fatten ` mea cattle that the practice of feeding mea separately from hay, "cornstalks and straw is just as satisfactory as to mingle the meal with cut fodder before feeding the stock. But numeroais ex- periments conducted with care by intel- ligent farmers assure us that it will bemoreconomical every wag to cut fod- der, wet it, and mingle the meal with it prior to feeding the mass to animals of any sort. The advantage will be more apps rent when similar feed is given to horses and mules. If the feed can be steepled, the advantage will be still greater. In addition to our own experi.° once in regard to this subject some recent experiments are herewith reported by The Live Stock .Journal ; " During the last tten years I have made the following tests Fed a cow that had not eaten thing for sixteen hours, four qu fine corn meal,- and killed her in fif after it was eaten, and . none of this meal in the first atom but al` in the fourth. Fed a steer, der the sande conditions, four guar shelled corn, and 'found it all in fourth stomach. Again, fed a t Year-old heifer four quarts of he oats, killed her immediately, and f' the oats nearly all in the fourth atom Made the same test upon a cow soft corn in the ear, and found se eighths ,in the fourth stomach and balance in the first. Fed four qua fine corn meal, mixed with' six quart cut hay, to a steer, killed) in half hour, and found all in the first stoma Fed under same circumstances, quarts of coarse bran, and found in of it in the first stomach. Fed shel corn, mixed with twice, its bulk of hay, and found nearly all the corn the rumen or paunch. Fed a se months' calf'two quarts of shelled co killed it; aria found abouteone-half in first stomach." - In orclee to understand more fully -the _ reason why meal should be mingled with cut fodder before the cattle are fed, those who feed cattle should he made familiar with the physiological 'constitution of the - animal we propose to feed; Rurninents, such :tis neat cattle and sheep, have a compound stomach, .diti'ided into four compartments, each one intended by nature for a special purpose. "When grass, hay,. or other coarse food, is eaten by cattle, it passes, after slight mastica- tion, down the esophagus into the rumen, or first stomach. Here it lies and mac- erates in mucus, for a time, constant in rimotioim': by the contracting and expaucl- ing' peristaltic action of the coats of the stomach, which softens and prepares it for remastication and the further work of digestion, From " thence the food 'lasses into the second stomach, or reti- culum, where it is formed into balls or cutis, whence, by spasmodic action, the balls Bass up the gullet into the mouth for rema.stication. .. fter• being properly.: rnar;tieated the cuds are swallowed, .and. pave along the esoplragean canal bo the , third stomach.; or maniplus, where the f0orl undee oes an important change by being triturated between the manifolds, grinding clown the vegetable fibre and preparing it for the fourth or true digest- ing st(,rnacli. All these stomachs are certainly important in the digestive pro- cress of the ruminant. I'oocl should, therefore, be given in such form that it may be directed to the- first _ stornach, so that it may have the benefit of " remasticati.orn. But nature, has Provided that only I'se herbaceous food, and fine food mixed `with this, shall go to the first stomach; for when grain, whole or ground, is given alone, it got i `to the fourth stomach with - .out the preliminary preparation of trhe. other -etouisachs, By this means the fourth store h will be so -greatly over- ' taxed that i will not be able to perforin its fUfetions ; and, besides endangering the heal h' of eentage o food. cattle at she W Indian c,rh; t gtiently. a I� _Vere apparent] who -per cent. of tl f this co ach, 'been ec�, it coul animal in frequentl gest corn This de .coarserbul stomach, a the 'more whole or. combined carried alo stomach.. feeder wh animals or using grain th nimal, a large per 11 wasted, Where ilit ar fed untifully on tai t roppin s are fro - 't kerne s of corn, e and probably ot. =n e nutriment ext act=d, li�d gee;'to the firs s em - re ti a : t- he i$ often d there and rem pot possibly have passed auch n entire state.
