Feeding and Care of Stock. BY CASSH.S M. CLAY. I lay down tbe rule that grass needs weeding as much as corn. When pastures are used for winter and summer grazing they should never be eaten too closelj; grass requires time to mature as well as wheat; and when blue-grass la the pasture, the stock had best bo stabled aud fed till the grass begins to mature its seed; thus the largest yit-ld w.ll he secured lor thHt year. It is a bad way to graza closely at any time. Where tbe grass is short the sun strikes at once the roots, and growth cea9es, and light showers are lost; whilst the long grjiss accumulates moisture and nutritious elements from tbe air, and destroys mosse.", which at times come to be very Injurious., Toe sheep distribute the manure over the soil, and it enta-satonie into vegetable growth. Horses aud cattle deposit it in large quantities, which are lost by the sun'<_ rays. It ia my habit to pass over the gr«8B-lands lu early spring, and with h*y forks scatter them by a blow, or lilting these aocumulatlous spread them that they may enter at once iuto the roots of the grass, belore the coming of the hot sun of spring. HAY CROP. Next to grass, hay is the best product for stock. Here, blue-grass makes fine hay, though not so productive in quantity as clover or timothy. These are the only grasses I have used for hay, and know nothing of the value of others, believing them the best in the world for our locality. When gra»s is cut, a lew hours sun is enough; when the blades or stems are crisp enough to allow the air to enter the hay- O'XJk, the hay has been sunned enough. Nor should it receive either dew or rain, as both are very inj urious. My rule is to cut in the morning, and put in windrows, and cock all cut the same day. The cocks should be made conveniently large, and dressed down with the loik, tbe man standing with his face to the cock, with the prongs of the lork striking ofl the loose hay freely, and putting it on top, till the water will shed off as Irom a well made hay-stack; then turning tbe fork with the handle down, tuck it under with force. These cooks will stand any rain, aud in a few days will be cured, and ready for the stack, rick, or barn, the best deposits being in the order here named. In this climate clover should never be put into cock, or stack, or rick, but alter a few hours sun, spread undercover, and shade-dried, as it will not turn the water ofl. All GRASSES 1-11 OULD BE CUT a3 soon as the seed begins to form, and never left for the seed to mature. When tbe seed are mature, tho starch and sugar are turned into woody fiber, and the hay lost. The finest hay I ever saw was thus made near St. Petersburg, Russia; it maintains ita perfectly green color, and the Finland ponies used in the droskies, are led oa it only, and in tho intensely cold winters, keep fat. Those who iESist on cutting bay with ripe seed oh it, ought to vary the diet with piuo brush, aud split clapboards. WATER. Water should be, for all stock—even for hogs, pure, plentiful, and easy of access. Sheep will go iu damp weather, and on green food many days, apparently without need of water. But they should always have accass to It at will. Cattle especially require plenty of water, and at frequent intervals throughout the pastures. I venture to say that in a pasture of one hundred acres,with water only on one extreme of it, cattle would fail to put on one-half as much f<tt as If there were three watering places, well apart. The reason is obvious, when the bullock, already full, lies down in the shade in tbe far end of the pasture, he will be very loth to walk at all after tbe water; and the distance in the mid-day, when it is hot, is a great draft upon his improvement. Stock, especially when fattening, should be allowed perfect repose. Dogs,strangen-, gun-shots, or unusual oVjects, frighten them, and when once much excited, they run, aud sometimes for months will not fatten. Of all the wild animals in the forest, as I have seen in Texas, when cattle have gone wild they are the most shy, running at the crack of a stick under loot for miles, w.ithout waiting to see the hunter. SALT. It is my habit, through life, to keep salt in water-tight troughs, mixed with wood- ashes always, for the uso of all animals. Tho ashes are gooJ of themselves, and prevent the stock from eating too much salt at once. Salt given at long intervals is eateu too greedily by stock, and often thus purges them, whilst taken each day, as it will be, prevents purging. I never in a lifetime had hog cholera, which is vermin outside, and worms inside generally; as salt is a remedy for both. All animals Beeu. to desire salt, and even wild pigeons are thus decoyed and trapped. I once, however, bought hogs having the choltr.-, and lost one-half, the others survived without any other remedy. Hogs should have green food as well as other stock, and when fed on Indian corn should be well supplied with pumpkins, turnips, or apples, etc., which are both nutritious and healthy. I consider tbat pumpkins freely fed with corn are worth one- third of the corn, thus saved. I have abandoned feeding hogs in close pens, but leave them ia the pasture, and ieed there. They fatten as well, and have more lean meat, and are more healthy. When fed in P'-ns they should have coal to eat. They thils get grass to oat, worms and nuts, etc., and distribate the manure where it is wanted without further labor. If tho hogs are penned, they should be sheltered on Mooring?, which cau be readily cleaned and tbe manure saved, and carted away, SHEDS. It is now becoming more necessary oven in our climate, on account of the increase of cold winds aud rains, as the forests are cleared up, to have stock sheddod or stabled. Wbere stock are graz.d through the winter,! like sheds, with the north and west west boarded up, and the east and ,soutb open for sneb sunshine as winter allows, with liberty to go to pasture and water at will. These boarded Bides Bhould be supplied with racks filled with sweet hay lor the long oold nights, or rainy weather. The syttem of stabling aud feeding in England and the Northern States is better understood there than here, and your readeis must look north for such structures. Our stock is now equal to that of any part of the world; there is a great future before us; lat deb one strive to start with the best, aud advance to the foremost rank. White Hall, Ky.,.Dec, 1880. » SS, S Feeding Flesh to Hoga. (JMltora Indiana Fornsen I see that hog cholera is still prevailing in certain sections of the State, I will there- tore give you my experience which might be of some benefit to your numerous, subscribers. In 1876 the disease broke out amor/g my hogs, which caused me to loose agreat many jjnally 1 took twoof tb a»-«nere shadows, put them in a close pen ^Commenced treating them, but they refused to eat. Consequently I could give thorn no medicine, then I considered that I Was at the end ot my row. But being out bunting one day, I killed several rabbits and passing by the pig pen it occurred to me that hogs were toiid ol fresh meat. < S» I stripped the skin from one of them i and threw it in the pen.' They went for that rabbit. I gave them moro rabbits and in a few days got them on their feet again, and all got well. Since then I have discovered that chickens, or fresh beef would answer the same purpose. Tnis fall I have bad several that have been attacked with disease, but havo lost none where they luve been properly attended to.and I believe that every farmer might save his hogs by_ putting them up when first attacked, and by attending to their diet for a few days, commencing on tho rabbits first, if plentilul, if not use the chickens or fresh beef.

In a business note to us they say "We have numerous inquiries for stock of various kinds, some of which come Irom Canada, and all say tbey see our advertisement in the Indiana Farmer. We have made several sales of fine stock lately." Stock Sales. Editors Indiana Parmer: My Bheep sale as advertised in your paper had a fair attendance, with nearly all present bidders, and made up ofour most substantial stock men and farmers.

Contracted Foot. Editors Indiana Farmen 1 have a mare that was taken lame last spring iu her lore foot. Some of the time it would not be noticed only on hard roads. Shoeing not seeming to make much difference with lameness. Blacksmith said it was thrush; have tried salt-water,but without any material improvement. Frog is tender and partly gone. M. C. Your marb's foot is contracted, else the thrush would be well by this time. Have your shoer to pare the sole out thin until he can spring the sole with the thumb; then make a shoe like my patent Bhoe; raise a clip on each heel with a set hau - mer, about one- quarter inch high. Fit tho clips inside the wall closely; when the shoe is on spread the heel one fourth of an inch, with a pair of heavy tongs. Repeat every two weeks; drop muriatic acid on the frog. The tenth session of State GraDge, held in thia city last -week, was the most orderly and business-like in ita deliberations of any we have attended. The delegates were a fine looking body of men and women, who seemed to have an earnest purpose in mind, and were not here merely to see tho city and have a good time. Several of their resolutions as reported in this and the next number of the Fakmer, will have the approbation of a large proportion of our readers: It Pays. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have sold all the cows I advertised in the Farmer, aud you will please stop the advertisement, as I am still getting letters and orders nearly every day for some. T. J.

Corn 50c per bushel. Very little wheat raised here for sale; winter, 75 cents per bushel now. Our climate is healthy and generally delightful. The health of northern emigrants good. Country filling up fast. Land in good demand and prices increasing. Everybody doing well. L. J. R. About Oheap Papers. Editors Indiana Farmer: Being a farmer in only moderate circumstances, two years ago I quit taking the Indiana Farmer because I could get another paper for a little less money. I discovered in a few months that I had made a great mistake, but thought I would go on to the end of the year anyhow with the cheap paper. Before the first of October of that year I found that my cheap paper bad Jefc me in the dark in the prices of produce, so that I had lost over fifty dollars on my wheat, and nearly that amouut on my other surplus products, and then I sent in my subscription again to the Indiana Farmer, and expect to remain a life subscribtr. I have never missed or lost when relying on your advice and market reports. Then there are good things in the Farmer besides every week that I never paw in other papers, and for one I think it would be cheap to me if I had to pay five times the pri sent sub-cription price. I can testify from a hundred dollars worth of experience, that 25 or 50 cents, or even more, is nothing to stand on when subscribing for a good paper. And for one I can tectify that cheap papera are frauds. Very truly your*-, Itichland Co., 111. A. C. Jonbs, V ! \ m ___VYA_Vl--__ftt>iV.,l_LUIV^ **5_S^S£_WtTME;-BIBa3TJ_IJ .:.;-^'.^tjv;.^_.v
