The Oat Crop.
. BY HENRY STEWAST,
It is related that an Englishman object-
ed to Scotland as a country where the men
were fed on oat -meal, which was food
only fit for horses. A Scotchman re-
plied with the remark, "But whtaur
will ye see sic men and sic horses,
mon?" He was right. The brawny
Clydesdale farmer and his Clydesdale
steed can rarely be matched and no-
where excelled and for ease of diges-
tion and its nutritive character no other
food will surpass oat -meal in its bone
and flesh making qualities. Oats is a
crop that delights in a "cool, moist
climate and a cool moist soil,
but it will grow any place where it can
have sufficient moisture in the soil and
is sown early enough to get well rooted
before the hot weather begins to scorch
the ground. Being a leafy plant, it
soon shades the soil and protects itfrom
the excessive heat of our summer
olimate. No other small grain better
repays for good and careful culture, and
none is more worthy of regard for home
consumption on the farm and in the
grain that should
homestead. It
is ad
be consumed en the farm, and not sold
from it ; and a goodly share of it should"
fid its way into the hands of the house-
keeper. The oatmeal barrel may well
deserye a place in the store -room by
the side of the flour barrel, and may
be drawn upon with advantage for
every, morning meal, and for occasional
lunches through the day. In the shape
of porridge it will both tempt and sat-
isfy the appetite of young and old,!and
in the crisp and sweet -flavored oat-
cake it will furnish an acceptable and
satisfying viand to fill rap gaps between
meals, which the farmer's boy and the
farmer himself so often fled to be too
long to pass without bridging over with-
out help. Oat -meal is in favor with
the medical profession. They know
how wholesome and nutritious it is,
and it is growing in favor with them.
We are only beginning to learn its
value, as well as that of its natural
accompaniment, milk. Porridge and
milk is a breakfast that never palls up-
on the appetite or fails to be enjoyed,
providing the meal is well cooked. And
there can scarcely be an improvement
found upon the old Scotch method.
Now let us consider the relative pro-
fit of oats as compared with wheat. If
we give this crop an equal chance with
the wheat, we have seen that eighty
bushels can be grown as easily
as twenty-five -bushels of wheat. At
the usual relative prices four pounds
of oats are worth three of wheat. This
would make twenty-five. bushels of
wheat equal in value to about sixty
bushels of oats. If the farmer, then,
can by good culture produce eighty
bushels of oats per acre, he is doing as
well as if he produced thirty-five bush-
els of wheat. These figures are not in-
tended as an inducement for farmers
to grow oats in place of wheat, but to
show the profit there may be in giving
a crop of oats as good culture as is
usually given to, wheat or corn, or the
most favored crbps.

Draught 4orse Breeding.
MR. EuTOB,-The following excellent.
article which is taken from the London
Live Stock Jourual is as applicable to
Can da as it is to England, and should
you ee fit to publish it, it will be of
inter st and benefit to your readers
exp ially those of them who are en-
gage in the breeding and rearing .of
hors s, and farmers generally are more
or les interested in this way now.—
READEB.
Daring the next six weeks the minds
of many farmers will be exercised as to
the choice they should,. make of a
draught stallion forthecoming Beason.
If not, then it ought to be, for there is
no better source of revenue to the far-
mer just now than the raising of good
draught horses. We say good, because
inferior animals will not sell well in any
market. In the north the breeding of
horses for draught purposes has. long
been studied, and, as is well known at
considerable profit.
Of the well recognized breeds, the
Clydesdale, the Shire or Draught horse
—it is a pity, for the sake of euphony,
the latter name was not adopted—and
the Suffolk, the former is held in pre-
ference by the foreigner,either of Ameri-
ca or Australia. He is not the favorite
by any mere accident, as the intro-
ductory history to the first volume of
the Clydesdale Stud -book shows, but
is the reward of perseverance in a right
direction. Fifty years ago he was not
such a big horse as he is now, his size
having been much increased by the in-
troduction of blood from the south, but
his ancient characteriatics—broad head,
full eye, flat bones,and. elastic yet strong.
pastern—have all been preserved. - It
has: been said by the Shire horse breed-
ers that he owes many of his best
qualities to the Shire horse. It has to
he kept in mind, however, that the
hitherto meritorious points of the Shire
upright shoulders and steep pasterns
-were the very reverse of those of the
Clydesdale, when a breeder did go south
from Scotland he always brought back
an animal stronger a little in bone, with
more hair about the leg possibly, but
in nearly all cases possessing sloped
pastern. Not infrequently the animals
brought back were crosses off a Clydes-
dale stallion sold into the Shires ; Scotch
breeders to this day following in the
wake of favorite animals which they
may have sold to go South.
It is difficult to write about the Shire
horses as a breed ; there are so=y many
different types, and all have their ad-
mirers. The nearest approach to the
Clydesdale in form is the Shire ,horse
of Worsley Hall, which, possessing
greater size and substance, lacks, how-
ever, in the northern • men's eyes, in
pastern, and which fault, together with
wide hock action, would get them
thrown in nearly every northern show
ring.
The street horse of Glasgow is, how-
ever, sometimes too faithfully copied as
a standard, as the roads are not so
steep in the southern towns, and the
ionrneys generally so long that no single
horse could well do the work. _ A pas-
tern sloped so much as that which the
streets of Glasgow demand,for instance,
is not so necessary in London, where
the gradients are not very steep. As to
the average Londcb horse, it is apparent
at a glance that he would be of no use
in the northern towns, his shoulder
and pasterns being too straight to let
him get away well going up hill. There
can be no doubt, therefore, that the
mechanism for draught purposes of the
Clydesdale is the more correct ; and the
Shire breeders seem to be of that opin-
ion themselves, as several of them,
writing on the subject lately, advocate
the sloped shoulder as against the steep
one, and greater elasticity of pastern.
In America the new Clydesdale
Horse Society have appointed a 'Com-
mittee to draw out a scale of points for
this noted breed of horses. It will be
interesting to see what they. will award
for certain of the points which are con-
sidered indispensable here, viz., healthy
sound feet, pasterns, and action, which
may not be necessary there. The
points will of course be those of any
good draught horse, with a percentage
thrown in for the , genuine character-
istics of the breed which are still appar-
ent in the old stocks. If the scale is
not rightly laid down, it will be unfor-
tunate, as breeders on this side respect
too much the .foreign buyer, and are
swayed by the reports of large prices
being given for particular stallions or
mares, forgetting that the best market
is after all the home one for animals
of medium price for street purposes.
It is, indeed, a little unfortunate
that the requirements of street con-
tractors are not studied a little more
to t
than is at present the case, farmers
either going by their own horse and
cart standards, or the wealthy foreign
or colonial merchant, who wants great
weight of bone in numerous oases, al-
together regardless of its quality. i The
frequent quotations in the stud columns
of the agricultural press have in numer-
ous cases another bad effect, viz., the
stimulation of the hopes of farmers who
do not possess the proper sort of brood
mares for raising big, strong,- and high
priced stallions, to put them to high
priced fashionable sires. The result in
many cases is naturally the very reverse
of what was expected. A small, com-
pact, cleverlittle mare is put to a great
big horse, instead of an average ',sized
one, and the produce is a leggy nondes-
cript. Thin -legged mares are put to
thick -legged stallions, and the happy
medium -is expected in the very first
cross, as if Nature is to -'be bribed to
go out of her coarse with . a big service
fee and a tip to the groom.
The size of the mares, the soil, also
the climate, should be considered in
selecting a stallion. If the mares are
small, and. well suited for farm work,
then the breeders should not try to
catch the city dealers all at once.
Small compact horses, are increasing in
demand- every day, and the market
will form quicker for the breeder of
such, and readier than he will form his
stock for the market. For most farm
purposes, too, the . dray -horse is too
heavy; and a medium-sized', agricul-
tural horse, suitable for 'chain' iwork
in streets, is a class which is bound to
be formed in time, so soon as the mania
for breeding heavy horses subsides'.

Household. Recipes.
—Mustard dressing for pickles; can
be prepared and pickles put into it, any
time of year. To one pint of vinegar
take six tablespoonfuls of mustard,
half an ounce of turmeric, one 'cupful of
sugar, hall a cupful of flour ; stir all to-
gether, heat and turn over the pickles.
—No .one knows until she has ;worn
one what a convenience a se wing apron
is. Cut a small round apron of calico
or any other material which yota choose,
make a deep pocket across the bottom,
in which you may carry work and into
which your scissors, thimble and thread
may slip when you are obliged to rise
and leave your sewing for a short .time.
The large pocket may be divided by
stitching it through the centre, and
smaller pockets may be added at the
top.
—It is considered "good form" to look
with contempt upon the dried atiople
pie, but it is possible to make pie of
dried apples which will be regarded as
a luxury by lovers of this form of food.
Soak the apples in .cold water all night,
having first looked them over carefully ;
in the morning look them over agaiia to
make sure that there are no bits of core
left on, rinse in several waters, then
cook slowly, when done, mash with a
potato masher, till the sauce is smooth,
and far removed from lumpiness, sweat -
en and spice to suit your taste. If you
have any boiled cid er, put in just
enough to moisten the apple, then
make a dust as rich as for mince pie,
bake till the top is slightly browned.
Apple sauce of dried apples once in a
long time will be well receeived ; if you
can, get some dried black raspberries
and cook with the apples to flavor
them. ..
A Cow's Stomach.
J. H. B. Alden, Iowa : The stomach
of a cow is composed of four comp(art-
r ents. The first is the rumen, or
paunch, which is used for tripe ;: the
second is the reticulum, or honey comb;
these two are connected and are really
one ; the third is the omasum, or mani-
folds, "maniplies or maniples ;" .this is
separted from the other two by the
esophagean canal ; the last is the ab-
omasum, or rennet, which is the rue
stomach. The cud comes from the
first stomach and goes into the t ird,
where it is ground between the folds
and macerated and softened, and in
this condition goes into the fourth cpm-
partment to be digested. When !the
animal is bloated from eating too much
green food, the trouble is in the paunch,
or first stomach. When .a cow eats a
quantity of dry meal and gorges herself,
the trouble is in the third stomach or
manifolds, which cannot act upon dry
food without abundant moisture; to
dilute the food. When a cow drinks
the water enters the first, second, and
third, stomachs at the same time, as
the entrance to all these is nearly at
the same point in the canal or termin-
ation of the gullet, and when she s al-
lows fine food, as dry meal or soft ash
or oily substance, the most of, it oes
to this third stomach. Nothing.' can
reach the fourth stomach withoutas-
sing through the third. In case of in-
digestion the - trouble is in the third
stomach, because the folded membranes
cannot act upon crude, hard, dry food,
and these leaves or folds are picked
with the dry masses, which cannot
pass further, and so cause irrita-
tion and inflammation,
