Firm Notes.
!nth* Short -horn herd of Mr.Whitman
of Fitahbturg, Mass., one of the cows gave
in one month 1200 pounds of milk, and
in one year, icing in ilk 11 months,
9,200 unds; and one o the calves fed
on cooked feod,�in part, eighed, dressed
at thirteen months, 547 pounds. which
indicates that such food kes both flesh
and milk in abundance.
—Within a few years there will be a
great deal of live stock trent to England,
and it is presumed the hornless cattle will
be much handier to mov about•in cars
or ships ; but so long as horns are toler-
ated the Short -horns an Herefords will
stand first fo' beef. If gentlemen who
are rich enough to give gentlemen who
to
$10,000 etch for. cows w idgo into rale-
ing meat for, exportati n, it would do
more good to the countr and to them-
selves.
—The following notes of a remarkable
old oak tree ae Ludlow, ngland, are ex-
tracted from a magazine about 100 years
old, and reprinted late in Elzowe's
Shrewsbury Journal : " n oak tree was
felled, Sept. 20, 1767, at Ludlow
Shropshire, the produce of which wa 27.
tons of timber; (of 40 cubic feet each,) 43
cords of wood, 200 park pales, and five
Cords of braekots. A bough broke off be-
ad
tree was cut dow t, which weigh-
ed 7t tons, ant three meld were em lcyed
a month in stacking it. The whole tree
was valued at $700."
—A Western farmer writes to the
C'ou'ntry Gentleman : " There is possibly
no animal upon earth t which feeding
;potatoes would be injurious if properly
'fed. Here in the West potatoes are so
- cheap (25c a bushel)_ that many of our
people are feeding them in `various forms
and quantities to stock Of all kinds. 'I
feed them largely to my fowls, and when-
ever my cows, or horses can get a chance
they steal all they can.The Irish meth-
•od of boiling until nearly thoroughly
cooked, with a little salt, is, no doubt,
(with me,) the best plan for stock, having
all,the benefits (more phosphorus) of the
thoroughly cooked, and they do not clog
or cloy the animal, I am much in favor
of a couple of quarts being fed to korses,
properly cut, unwashed, and salted a
little, twice or thereabouts each week.
—Many horses are fond of beer, and to
a tired horse a bottle of peer in his gruel
is a great restorative. Int often makes a
horse with no' appetite eat freely. There
can be no doubt that washing horses un-
der proper care is an excellent thing but
the good done by it is often destroyed by
carelessness' in drying afterward. If a
_horse is allowed to get chill after wash-
ing, he is certain to be inured, and there-
fore the greatest care is necessary. The
legs should be bandaged safer up as,pos-
sible, and the ears rubb d perfectly dry.
If the horse is clipped singed this is
more easily done, but, of course, until
the process of drying completed; the
horse is in more danger- catching cold,
and not a few old hands attribute mud
fever to this source. Dry 'em, sir ;
dry 'em and ,rub 'em if you want good
legs."
—The discouraged state in which large
numbers of our farmers live is not :favor-
able to health or happiness ;- neither is it
favorable to success in any direction,
Winter in the country is really quite a
severe ordeal to pass through ; but it can
be made a time for milid .improvement,
and also a time of preparation for the ac-
tive labors of the sumntler, • Every ,gelid
and useful book a fa r reads is an ac-
quisition, the value of hich cannot ibe
stated in dollars and nts. Winter is
• the time to improve a intellect, the
time to lay up those stores of knowledge
which will serve in olda e, when the eyes
are dim and the hearing impaired, as food
for thought and meditation. In the al-
tered condition of things which prevails
., in this age,farmers must seek new mod
of occupation in winter, and everyone
who seeks is quite sure to find.
_ —" F. G." writes to the Country G -
tlernata respecting the beat treatment of
cattle : " We must separate the herd.
Not that each cow is to:have a place by
herself, as where a sing le one is kept.
But the principle must be reached. It is
the unruly members that cause the mis-
chief in a herd. They' :hook and drive.
and keepin fear the more peaceable mem-
bers, tieing themselves ofd a bull -like -make
poor milk -producers ; for it is, I believe,
a 'commonly understood. thing that the
father the female is removed the ,male in
the characteristics which sex develops
the better. The restive nature and thick
neck should be avoided, and quiet and
reduced bulkoccupy their -place. The
vicious animals being moved a good start
will have been made. If any of these are
worth keepin; , keep them separsttte, or
else dispose of them. Divide the reit Of
the herd, and: let each division ~lave a
small- number of animals, with plenty of
room so that there is 130 crowding, or get-
ting in the way of each other, or fear, but
a .chance for a social feeling to develop,
which will soon exhibit itself, to be far-
ther encourageld by the kind attentions of
the keeper or the ►nembers of the family."

A Practical Use of Dogs.

Imo
It is a fact perhaps not generally known
that there is a firm doing business in San
Frandisco who purchase the thousands of
dogs slaughtered by the pound master of
that city, or that may have been other-
wise killed, for which they pay forty
cents each. The.carcasses are conveyed
to their manufactory .at South San Fran-
cisco, where the skins are removed and
sold to the tanneries, the hair taken off
and resold tooplasterers, the hide tanned,
made into gloves and sold in the market.
The denuded. carcass is then thrown into
a huge caldron and boiled until the bones
are easily separated from the flesh, when
they are removed and sold to the sugar
refineries, where they are ground to afine
powder and used to clarify sugar; The
oil that rises to the surface of the boiling
mass is skimmed off and rmanufactnred
into cod liver oil, and the remainder is
used for the purpose of fattening hogs.
Cattle -Feeding in Scotland:
The following is Mr. Anderson's sys-
tem of feeding : The commercial cattle
go to grass about the 10th of May. A
eavy stocking is at first put on the acre-
age, and the animals are shifted about
every fortnight, to fresh and sweet grass.
The best animals—those intended for the
London Christmas market—are taken in
about the first week of August, and get
cut grass in the byres. A portion of the
new grass eaten early in the season is
saved in June and July and cut in Aug-
ust for the oxen. Abort a fortnigt
after housing the animals get tares mixed
with oats and peas well ripened and pod-
ded. In the second week of September
they get turnips, but sparingly for about
ten days. When on full turnip* each
bullock gets about -150 pounds daily,
supplied at three different times. Each
cattleman attends to 25 cattle, and pulls
