The Huron Expositor, 1876-01-28, Page 6T Farni Notes. In the eleven months ended the .30th ult., the value of eggs imported into Eng- land amounted to £2,426,806,agaiest E2,- 288,436 last year. During 1875 there were received iu { New York city, from May 1 to pee, 1, butter, 688,446 packages ; cheese, 1,765,- 125 boxes ;; eggs, 250,330 packager. -.-During the first two weeks of Janu- ary, all through New York State farmers have beenplowing up their fields, the ground being entirely free from frost, which is something extraordinary at this season of the year. —A farmer having tried cabbages as food for cows in milk two years, iz of the opinion that more fodder can he grown on an acre than of any other. They also. will force Cows to give more milk k over all othet. food. They require no machine to cut them. No bad taste to the milk was discovered. They are easily -grown. He prefers - them to, any other variety of roots. —In a recent test made by Mr. L. Hardin, of Louisville, Ky., at a dairy in Chautauqua County, .N. �Y.,: to which he went for the express purpose, the differ- ence in the amount of butter made from the same quantity of milk set in deep and shallow pans was as follows, viz. : One pound of butter was made from 21.53 pounds set in shallow pans, and one pound was made from 21.51 pounds set in deep cans; 185 a unds of milk taken. from. 15 cows at t e evening's milking were used. The • • vantage, equal to two pounds only in ove 2,000 was on the side of the deep cans. —"No smoking" ought to be posted in. every barn. There; is not much differ- ence between havin a horse thief around the stables and a m : n cleaning off horses with a pipe or ciga , in his mouth and there is no hired m : n much meaner than the one who, when his ` employer comes around, slips his pi e into his pocket or holds his hand over it. All such fellows should be paid off d 'started off. • As for the proprietor h elf going into the barn with a pipe in his -mouth, no com- plaint .can be made ; but if his .establish ment burns up, nob dy should cry unless it be his wife and_ c ildren. • Lightning, incendiaries, and sp ntaneous combustion combined do not ca se as many barns to be burned as the pip , and generally, at least one good horsegoes too. —Glanders first a pears as a discharge from the nostril, gen rally one only, of a • thin, transparent lig id. of an verschar- acter • and without smell. :The lining membrane of the nostril in not red," bu t of a deli livid or purple color. The dis- ease is distinguished by these symptoms from any other in which there is a dis- charge from the nose. This stage may last for .a few weeks, or for a year, bu. t it commences soon after inoculation from a diseased animal. Afterward ulcers form on the lining membrane of the nose, the dis- charge is thick and yellow; the glands un- der the jaw swell, become hard, and ap- pear as if fixed to the bone, the horse'scoat stares, he weakens rapidly, sores appear on his body, and he dies, thoroughly ematicated. In the first stage the horse may work for many months without dis- tress. It is belieded by some veterinary surgeons that at this stage the disease is curable by the use of sulphite (not sul- phate) of soda, in half ounce or ounce doses given twice every day. A promi- nent European surgeon states that he has - cured seventy cases of glanders by this treatment. —The Vermont Farmer thinks farmers should be educated. But it says : "What should they study in addition to the pri- mary branches ? We answer, they should study mathematics till they are able to make out notes, cast interest, and under- stand all the forms of common business, and till they can survey their own farms, or know the work is done correctly by others.. They should study natural phil- osophy and chemistry, that they may un- derstand the operations going on around them in nature, and apply its laws in the cultivation of the soil. They should study commercial law that they may un derstand when contracts are binding. farmers' I inte'est, else men woul , not They should study political economy, or able to sta i it.
