The Huron Expositor, 1876-01-14, Page 141,41 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. in t gin son' o'cl veli fur the 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.
