AGRICULTURAL. From the Southern Hujiner. TREATMENT OF CATTLohN THE WINTER. X* Permit me through the medium of your paper, to throw out a few hints in to the treatment of cattle during the winter season. As that season is now rapidly ap proaching, some advice on this subject may not be amiss to the farming portion of your readers. The first thing to be observed, is to lay \ up sufficient provender, and of the right ! kind, early in the season. The next, to provide suitable shelter for j them during the cold rainy spells which oftentimes last lor weeks at a time, and to locate them in a favorable position in regard to north winds, and location of ground. Thirdly and lastly, the attention they require during the winter months, under which is included feeding and housing, cur rying being out of the question where a large stock is kept on hand, and, indeed, if they are well fed and sheltered, no at tention need be paid to this. In regard to’ the quality and quantity of food little need be said, as the experience of every one will tell them it should be good, of sufficient quantity, and of a variety, as cattle are known to prefer a change in their diet as well as man. In making shelters, I would recommend the facing to be south-easterly, the roof sloping north-westerly, and the ends and northern tvall to be closed tight. This ; will not only secure them the benefit of the sun’s rays ofa cold clear morning, but, also protect them from the wintry blasts which are so injurious to their appearance. The rack from which they are fed, should be continuous, and placed against the northern wall, with a trough immediately under it, to catch what might otherwise be wasted, j This shelter 1 would have placed on slop ing ground, facing south-easterly, and j above there should be a ditch cut of suffi ■cieritsize to carry off the rain-water which falls from the roof. Atone end of this shelter, the barn and cutting-room should be placed, built as the fancy of the farmer may suit, and a covered way extending from the barn the whole length of the shelter, will facilitate the fod dering of the cattle. This should be in the loft of the shelter. I think by such an arrangement, and by feeding at the proper time, and in suffici ent quantity, a farmer may not only pre serve all His cattle through the winter, but turn them forth in the spring in good order. Instead of the frames that now go out at the conclusion of winter, We would see plump animals fit to be killed for the table, in stead of not being suitable for turkey-buz zards. If these remarks coincide with your opinions, and you think them worthy a place in your paper, you’ may give them to your readers, and oblige yours, FORESIGHT. CHERRIES PRESERVED FORTY YEARS. In 1776, an apothecary being desirous of keeping some sour cherries for some time without spoiling, put such as were properly ripe into a glass jug, with a very wide mouth to it. Between each cherry he placed as many vine-leaves as were necessary to keep them asunder, and closing the top of the vessel with a cover ofthe like material as the vessel itself, and filling up the cre vices with soft wax, to prevent the admis sion of air, he placed the jug in a well, sus pended by a This cord, however, broke, and the ’tassel fell to the bottom, where it was at lenglhsforgotten. In 1816, some workmen who were re pairing this well, met with iftfloating on the surface of the water, and carried it to the apothecary by whom it had been suspend ed there forty years before ; he recollected it—opened it—and found the cherries quite entire ; preserved, indeed, from rottenness, but without their natural flavor. DISEASES OF HORSES. Colt Distemper. —This disease is cau sed frequently by neglecting to stable the animal, exposure to cold, rain, &c. The consequence is a violent cold, with high fe vers, and a collection between the jaws or enlarged glands. Treatment. —Take blood freely when the disease is fairly developed ; feed high on mashes or scalded oats mixed with meal. Repeat the bleeding twice a week ; and if the swelling increases, take ten to fifteen ears of corn and boil it six or eight hours, then put it into a small blanket doubled, and swing it under the head four or five hours at a time. Repeat it three or four times; then lance it, and the cold is cured. Many persons force the colt to rurfamd jump while running at the nose, which I consider a bad practice. Suppose a man extremely ill was made to get out of bed, and run or jump, the result would be death inevitable ; just so with a horse when ex hausted and enfeebled by sickness. Founder.— This disease is also fre quently caused by irregular feeding. Treatment. —The animal should be bled freely ; salted, and kept from water. Make a very strong tea of sassafras roots, and let it drink a quantity three or four times a day. Dissolve three or four ounces of assafoetida in a quart of water, and drench him—if he will not swallow, put some into his nostrils, and he will be obli ged to swallow, though it will not hurt him. This I consider a certain cure. Thumps.—Thumps are caused by over heating, and fast riding or driving. Treatment. —Take one pint of brandy or good whiskey, beat up a quarterof a pound of blapk pepper, mix it, and drench him. Or, take a dozen eggs, hold up his head, break them, and put them down his throat —shell and all—and he will recover im mediately. NEWS AND GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1840.
