than in winter. Our custom haa been to
fatten hogs on the green corn in the pasture, and at no time will they put en flesh
as fast. Those who have tried the same
way with cattle find that they make beef
cheaply and rapidly. Hay is saved, and
the green grass keeps the digestive organs
in good condidion. Of course, cattle so fatted must have their growth, or be in good
condition, so that they will only require
finish. Mr. Japan said: "Some six or eight
years ago, I fed during winter; began about
December 1. After following that plan, I
questioned whether it was profitable. I
then bought scales, and found after feeding
through the cold weather, that I had no
profits. Since then I feed on grass. Last
May I began feeding on grass, and estimated that I made money feeding, for the first
time. Winter feeding, as a rule, outdoor^
does not show a clean balance-sheet at 20
cents for corn." Several other stock-raisgrs
were present, and all of them declared jn
favor of summer aDd fall feeding. !<

Saved a Pino Jersey Cow.
Editors Indiana Farmer.
Some weeks ago you published in your
Veterinary Department a remedy for the
"English disease of 1840." We had a cow
sick that answered the symptoms therein de-
cribed. We used the remedies prescribed
and it cured her, thus saving for us a valuable Jersey cow.

CANADA AND STOCK EXPORTATION. J,
Canada is making the most it can out of
the restrictions of Great Britain on American cattle. The latter whilst decidedly in
favor of free trade tor her own production**,
finds a pretext for tariff on our cattle under
her vexatious restrictions. She discriminates in favor of her American Dominid-v
however, and the lattei accepts the sitm f
tion very complacently. The Rural New
Torker has the following strictures on Canada and her methods: Importations of cattle from Canada to Great Britain have 00K3,

the same ratio. We have entirely outstripped Great Britain in these regards. The

anxious that the embargo on our cattjy
should be removed, should be very ahxiotfj
to avoid any cause for the establishment
similar restrictions on its own trade. S'
licitude on this point is doubtless the chili
cause* of its absolute prohibition against the
importation of cattle from this' country^
England declares that, to guard her own,
herds against contagion trom ours, not on! j;
must no cattle be imported beyond the.
ports of debarkation directly from the
United States, but also that none shall be
introduced indirectly through Canada; and
that any attempt to do so will cause the enforcement of a like embargo on cattle from
that country.
our neighbors in placing upon cattle impor"
tations from this country restrictions as,
stringent as those they enforce against;
importations from other infected nations.'
But while they permit the introduction of
cattle fiom Great Britain, France and other]
countries whose herds are notoriously infected with pleuro-pneumonia and other
contagious diseases, after a ninety-day*^
quarantine, it seems unneighborly, nay, unjust that they should prohibit absolutely the
importation of cattle even from our Western States which have hitherto remained
wholly free from pleuro-pneumonia. If a
quarantine of ninety days is considered sufficient to guard their herds from contagion
through imported European animals, why
should uot a similar quarantine fee equally'
efficacious as regards animals from this
country? We do not pretend that our condition as friendly neighbors affords "any
claim for exceptional consideration, but
we do insist tbat it should not subject ua
to an exceptional hardship, and the attitude
of the Canadian Government towards ns in
this matter is so inconsistent with its conduct towards more distant nations that our

protest against a discrimination so injur-,

never yet had a convenient apd cheap
outlet for their products. Bates on the
railroads to San Francisco have been extortionate,- while that market alone has
been insufficient to consume more than

•the great eastern markets can be reached
by way of this new road, New Orleans

WHEN TO FEED FOB MABKET.
While the subject of cattle feeding was

the Iowa Alliance of Stock Raisers, a Mr.
Wilson said that feeding cattle is very sensibly changing from winter to summer and
fall feeding, lt has been proven that feeding in warm weather is  more profitable
What to Feed Horses.
* Every animal requires a certain volume
of food to maintain the natural distention*
of the stomach; that is to say, ooncentra-'
ted food alone could not sustain life. In1
Prussia rye straw is given to horses along
with oats. They do not eat the straw will"
ingly; so that when the "horses are prok
nounced unfit for service, and are bought
by farmers, they are often attacked by colics in receiving their new rations, because
the stomaoh and intestines have contracted'
by the barrack-rations, and time is necessary to enable tbem to return to their normal volume. Hay is of different qualities,
and the feed of oats ought to be proportionate to the quality of hay. The latter,"
if from marshy land, is not equal in point,
of nutrition to good oaten straw. Hay
from irrigated districts looks well, but it is
not very nutritive; the best comes from-a
calcareous soil of mixed grasses, mixed with,
aromptic plants. Rye straw is only good
for litter; wheaten straw is' relished by
horses in the night, and eaten at aU times.
Carrots are more refreshing than nourishing for horses; turnips are next to worth-"
less, but Jerusalem artichokes are good. In
Bavaria, post horses are fed on potatoes in
place of oats. If the former be mixed
with bran it is better. Bran fattens rather,
than imparts vigor, and that irom rye is
preferred in Germany to that from  wheat;

' My colt, six months old, had the skin
and flesh completely torn down over the
fetlock joint, commencing about three or
four inches above, on the main tendon. It
is a triangle with tbe point upwards; the
base reaches half way round on each side;
