Grinding Feel
Experimental farmers' have long ur

of chopping or grinding hay, as well as
other feed, for cattlo and horses. The
lazy drones have had a hearty laugh

Now a cow wants one-thirtieth of her

How to lUtse Colts. A good colt
I say good, becauso ft Poor colt in not
worth raising should to weaned when
four or six months old ; bo put io a
warm stable, eight or ten feet square,
well ventilated, with a plunk floor, and
be kept clean , have the bct ot t ay and
water, and about a pint of oats two or
three times iTTt;y. l'ut a coat of com
mon saw-dust, two inches thick, all
over tho floor, and all that gets wet re
movo at least thrco times a week, and
add moro saw -dust in its placo. In this
way tho colt will havo no lico. Keep a
good look-out, and if his feet grow un
even pare them, that, ho may stand
square on them. I have seen not a few
coltstwo, three, or four years old
whose feet and ankles wero much out of
shape in consequer.co of their feet
breaking ofT ou one side, or wearing ofl
which might havo been prevented by
paring their feet occasionally. If con
venient, let him run out in n wann yard
or shed in tho day-timo, afUr ho lias

1 have learned by experience, that
saw dust is the thing fur horses to btand
on. I bad rather they would stand on
tho clean floor than stand on their ma
nure. I think the best tiling to euro a
horse that is Sundered is to let hii.i
stand on SrtW-d'i. ; a anyxate, 1 have

Windfall. Tho origin of this term
is said to be tho following : Somo of the
nobility of England, by tho tenure of
their estates, wero forbidden fulling any
of tho trees upon them, tho timber being
reserved ror the nse 01 the rot-al navy.
Such trees as fell without cutting, were
tho property ot tho occupant; a tornado
thereforo, was quite a joyful event to
thoso who had occupancy of extensive
forests, und tho windfall was sometimes
of very great value.

In looking over your paepr I observe the

to vour readers trie propriety of kiln
drying their wet corn, and then using
it for feed. XJuuedone so at my Cherry

work well. .Some may complain that
they havo no facilities for so doing; nei
ther had I, but I mado up a largo fire in

tho firo out. and threw in six or soven
bushels of shelled corn at a timo. This

ed in this manner will save much feed to
