The Huron Expositor, 1878-03-22, Page 6Inkat an 1giiah Farmer Says about SLheap Feedbag. I must -now Make a few remarks re- specOng feeding sheep in winter. Roots as a general rule should be cut into fin. ger slices for the flock and put into troughs. There is much less waste by thia system than when they are com- pelled to gnaw the roots, the shells of which are frequently trodden into the dirt instead, of devoured., For hoggets it i,s indispensaibly necessary that roots should be out and placed in troughs, aa they are shelling their teeth the first winter, and help he their dental organs affords them ability to thrive better. Some prefer pulping roots to any form, of cutting, but general experience scarce- ly endorses the practice, whieh, how- ever, may be particularly serviceable in exeeptional cases, when roots* are very scarce, and require; to be eked out spar- ingly- A little root pulp Will go a long evaymixedwith hay and straw -chaff and a =all quantity of oil cake.' - Sheep, like most other animals, pre- fer a mixed dietary to one kind, of food, and they thrive better and keep. more healthy when fed. on partly dry and partly succulent food. All dry fodder, I°t waver, suits the ovine system better than all succulenaprovided it be whole- some and palatable. Fed ou good hay, they absolutely requihe little else, only that, in many cases, would be too ex- pensive. On the chalk hills where the seinfoinhay can be grown cheaply, it may &Bawer to depend on it quite as Much, if not more, than oriturnips. The sainfoin plant, .on a suitable soil, will last eight or even a dozen years, and, if properly managed, will increase rather than diminish its yield of hay e and have noticed letters from chalk -land farmers affirming that thia is the cheap est winter sheep -feeding crop they can grow. Whether this is so or not, it is no doubt the healthiest,particularly for ewes in lamb. These should never be allowed too much succulent food,which has a,- tendency to make them throw their lambs. Not only. does abortion often ensue by ewes constantly feeding on turnips, but over -flooding the womb is said to be not unfrequently occasion- ed by theengenderment of too ranch water, a fruitful cause of ewes produc- ing dead lambs when they-, go to their proper time ere they yeari. Nor is it well to feed any kinds of sheep wholly on roots, particularly on • cold winter mornings, when the turnips given there are frozen. Common tur- nips have something like 95 per cent. of water in their composition, and man golds and Swedes have nearly- 90 per eent. Sheep fed wholly, or even chiefly on roots, almost invariably scour, and sometimes colds, chills, agues, colics and, other internal ailments are occa- sioned by the too laxative dietary. To those flocknaasters who have neither asinfoin fields or water mea,dews on which to depend for abandant stores of hay, the latter may be expensive fodder to get, but they may generally find a suitable substitute in good wholesome straw, and a little cotton cake, Sheep always do better on cabbages . than on roots, but these do not offer as winter food after Christmas. There is however, Mr. Robert Russel's thousand - headed kale, which remains in the land the entire winter, waiting to be eaten, and may be Consumed at any period frora October to March. Both kohl Thief and mangolda are much more ex- tensively used as winter food for sheep than they used to be, and the latter is found invaluable even on light land farms to have a- store of roots to fail back upon, in the spring. e Proper Care of Poultry. - • Perhaps fowlin the farmyard suffer more from the 'want of pure water in winter than from any other cause. In the summer they usually get plenty and do well enougb, but in our cold climate,* when springs and brooks are frozen solid when tanks and. swill pails are no long- er available, then their daily allowance is entirely cut off, and often for weeks and even months they do not get a drop of water. They eat snow when it is to be had, and they could do nothing worse, for this has the singular quality of making them poor, and they should never be allowed to eat it. If they are supplied with water they will not eat snow. Thi a treatment, with very little variation and a few exceptions is the * rule among ferniers. The result is that millions of fowls the annually of that scourge of poultry—the cholere. Years ago the cholera was dreaded as a most fearful plague among the hunaan family. Towns and cities wets devastated by -its ravages : bat of late years, by clean- ing out the cesspools of filth in the cities, and by the proper measures it has lost its terrors. Her lies the great remedy for chicken cholera—cleanliness and proper care. This will do more to rid the 'country of this plague than all the patent oostrums in existence.

' The Elizabethtown Hews, of Ken- tucky, tells us ,that• Mrs. Abbot, who reside i within a few miles of Pitt's Point, in this county, had a singular cir- cumstance happen to her- one day last week. She has been totally blind for about eight years, but for about ten minutes on the day in question, she re- covered her sight and was enabled dur- ing the brief period to see -everything about the house—something she had not been able to do for eight years be- fore. - The house had recently been newly papered and. paint- ed, and, when total blindness came over her again, she described ac- curately the various colors used in the papering and painting. Her son had marred' since she lost her sight, and she had never seen her daughter-in- law, but, in the period she was restored to sight, she saw her, and afterwards de- scribed het appearaope accurately. The momentary ecstacy occasioned by the miraculous restoration to sight was as suddenly dissipated ;by its equally in- stantaneous loss, and she is now as blind as ever. • Tongue s Nothing but the proboscis of an ele- phant compares in muscular flexibility with the tongue. A varies in length and Biz° in reptiles, birds and mammal* according to the peculitte organic cir- cumstances of each. A giraffe's tongue has the functions of Rogers. It is hook- ed over a high branch, its strength be- ing equal to breaking off large, strong branches of trees, from which 'tender leaves are then stripped. An itiat-bear's tongue is long end round like a whip- lash. The animal tears open dry, clay walls of ant -hills, thrusts in its tongue, which sweeps round the apartments, and by an adhesive saliva brings out a yard of ants at a swoop. The mechan- ism b Which it is protracted so fax is both complicated and beautiful. A dog's tongue in lapping water, takess form by a mere act of volition, that cannot be imitated by an ingenious meehauism. The human tongue in the articulation of language, surpasses in variety of mo- tions the 1.sildest imagination of a poet. Even in swallowing food its office is so extraerdinary that physiologists cannot explain the phenomena of deglutition without employing the aid of several sciences—h'.'8 Journal of Health. A Good. Word for the Crow., For thirty years we have eavocated the protection of the crow instead of having laws passed for its destruction. The only crime charged against it is that it will pull up corn. This is done to get at the soft grain clinging to the sprout; but even this can be prevented by soaking, say, a peck of corn until it becomes soft, and scattering it in anad- joining field.
