Fattening Animals for Market.
—ln another portion of the Journal we
have given figures showing the shipment
of cattle to Chicago, and in connection
therewith we wish to say a word oirthe
fattening of animals intended for mar
ket. It is undoubtedly the fact that
large amounts of money are lost each
year from allowing animals to depend
upon the grass too long before they are
put regularly on corn. Then perhaps
with a view of hastening the fattening,
or perhaps to make up for the flesh
lost by being kept' on too short or par
tially dry pasture, the animal is fed all
it can consume of corn, and instead of
gaining in flesh continues for a time
actually to shrink in weight. For the
reason that the animal cannot at
once assimilate this concentrated
food when fresh from the grass.
Their systems must lie brought to the
changed conditions gradually. Hence
the economy of feeding corn early and
in small quantities each day, increas
ing this feed gradually until the ani
mal can properly digest a full feed.
Over-feeding costs the feeder as
much as the profits come to, and hence
the large number of farmers who will
seriously assert that there is no profit
in feeding, and who go on from year
to year raising grain and selling it for
other men to make money out of by
feeding to stock. If there were no
money in feeding cattle those who
make a business of buying droves and
buying corn to fatten them would soon
find it out.
There is no doubt that the real
science in feeding any kind of stock is
in never allowing them to get thin
from the time they are born until they
are fit for the butcher. Very many
of our breeders and feeders understand
this, and very many practical feeders
hold, and that with truth, that feeding
with grain should be continued during
the summer and while the animal is on
grass. There is no doubt but the
allowance of a liberal quantity of
ground feed during the summer in
connection with grass is the wisest
economy when the animal is to be
turned off the succeeding w inter or
spring.
Those who wait until cold weather
sets in before giving their fattening
animals what grain they will eat clean
and digest, necessarily have to feed
enough more to compensate for the
waste in keeping up the animal heat;
for a certain portion of the food con
sumed is burned to keep up this supply
of animal heat—much more in winter
than in summer, and more in the case
of a lean animal than a fat one. So
an animal having grain in summer,
when the waste is relatively small, is
more quickly and economically finished
in winter than one not so fed ; and for
the reasons, first, the animal is fatter
to begin with, and second, it has more
fat with which to resist the influences
of cold.
Flie ordinary farmer can not too
soon begin to take lessons from our
best stock-men, w hen once they get an
animal into their possession never
thereafter let it fail in flesh, but keep it
steadily improving until it is fit for the
shambles.
An important consideration in the
winter feeding of stock, whether fat
tening or store animals, is providing
absolutely dry quarters, and as warm
as circumstances will admit, whether in
stables or sheds. While stables are
preferable on many accounts, warm,
drv, well littered sheds are preferable
for other reasons, especially when cat
tle are fed stock-corn, with hogs fol
lowing as gleaners—a most economical
plan in southern lowa and central
Illinois and Indiana, where the win
ters are comparatively mild.
Another important point and one
indispensible, is that plenty ‘of pure
water should always be on hand.
Forcing stock to take water at long in
tervals through holes in the ice of
some pond never made fat stock, or
put money in the pocket of the owner.
It is one of the most vicious practices
the feeder can adopt, and costly to the
packet. Vicious, because brutal to
the dock. The other reason we have
heretofore given. If running water is
not always near it should lie pumped
from wells into troughs w r here it may
be accessible. A better plan and easily
accomplished would be to force it di
rectly into* the stables or shed yards.
This is perfectly feasible in these days
of windmills and steampporer,w r er, and
cattle need never become feverish from
thirst, nor get the ague from over-drink
ing ice cold water. They fatten kindly
and easily. Where fat cattle are
made are rich farmers. A stock
country is always a rich country. —

The Grange in England.— At
the annual social science congress of
Great Britain, the earl of Roseberry,
president of the association, after
speaking of the various unions to be
found in the United States, such as
ilie Sons of Toil, the Brethren of
Labor, the Sovereigns of Industry,
continued thus: “But incomparably
above these towers the gigantic asso
ciation of Patrons of Husbandry,
commonly called the Grange ; a great
agricultural co-operative, independent
union. Its progress has been amazing.
Its first grange, or lodge, w T as formed
in the last month of 1867; there are
at this moment 20,500, with 1,311,226
members. At the end of the year it
is certain that they will have 30,000,
with 2,000,000 members. The order
i- practically identified with the agri
cultural population of twenty-six states,
and with two-thirds of the farmers in
t n others. In Missouri alone there
are said to lie 2,150 granges; they are
making way in Canada. Pennsylva
nia began the year with sixty lodges,
and at this moment she has 500.
V* by this enormous increase? The
answer is simple, for it is alleged that
membership adds not less than fifty
1” 1 1 en *; h> the income of the gran
gu>. The California grangers have
tlmir own fleet, and ship their corn
I hl< “ <, , t wwY IKM>I, l >y wWe.h they
saved $2,000,000 in freights in the
year 1873. Their vessels brino- as
return cargoes, tea, sugar, coflee? silk
and other commodities, which are re
tailed to members at cost price; and a
system is 1 icing organized by which
their ships return with loads of every
foreign article which they may need.
They are thus an independent mer
cantile nation. But they are more.
They have a social, religious and po
litical as well as co-operative aspect.
They have a secret password, renewed
annually. Grange banks, grange plow r
manufactories, grange grocery storas,
besides grange poems, grange burial
services. They declare that they are
going to labor for the good of man
kind, of which they intend to raise the
standard. They mean to secure obe
dience to the laws and general brother
hood ; and on the other hand, to sup
press fashion, bribery and selfish am
bition. Their very success has made
them run into extravagances, but that
success is a social symptom we cannot
afford to disregard.”
The Farm Laborer and Grange.
—lt is a mistaken idea that the only
person eligible to membership in the
grange is the farmer who both owns
and tills his land. The man who
makes agriculture his business, though
he doas not own a single rood of earth,
is just as eligible as the man who owns
a thousand acres. The constitution
says that an applicant for membership
must be “engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and have no interest in con
flict with our purposes.” The consti
tution does not say that he must own
the land he tills; he must be engaged
in agricultural pursuits. The employe
on the farm, known as the “hired
man,” is entitled to membership as far
as agriculture is concerned; and if he
toils upon the farm all the time, how
can he have an interest in conflict with
our purposes ? Of course the employe
ought to be a man of good habits, and
one that can be trusted. AVith these
qualifications, God forbid that any
thing like caste or strata in society
shall keep him out. The writer of
this well knows the honest laborer on
the farm—patrons, do not ignore him.
We are sure you will not —we are
sure you have not; for the trusty man
at your plow or with your stock is a
farmer’s friend indeed; and with your
selves make up the bone and sinew of
the class of which the order, to be
permanent, must be composed. Farm
owners, if you find your help compe
tent, upright, useful and to be trusted,
encourage them—whether male or
female —to enter the grange. Once
there, their interests are your interests;
what they save helps you, what they
learn is for your benefit as well as
their own. Further, the ties of the
grange will make them more compe
tent, upright and useful, if possible,
than they were betore, and besides
they will be more likely to stand by you,
and remain with you, than were you
to make them feel as though they were
but little better than your cattle. May
God bless the faithful farm laborer,
say we ; we know Allah will help the
farm owner who treats his help with
the consideration that one ought to
treat every person who has a living
sold. — Farm er’s Friend.
The Alabama grange has appointed
a committee to visit the farm of each
member of that state grange, and to
report in writing the state of the grow
ing crops; condition of farm and
fences; quantity and condition of
stock ; method of cultivation ; rotation
of crops; kinds of crops raised and
the varieties of each; varieties of fruits
raised, and the general condition of
farm buildings. These reports are not
for publication, unless the owner de
sires, but are to form the subject of
discussion at future meetings. Such
grange work. cannot but be profitable
to the community in w hich it is situ
ated, and could be imitated by other
granges with benefit.
The Cause of Smut in Wheat.
This is the season for sowing wheat
in the south, and every one who at
tempts to raise a bushel of this grain
should know how to prevent the growth
of smut, which is a foul and blighting
parasite. We regret to see a mistake
made by Mr. Lynch Turner, chairman
of a committee of the Pulaski grange
in this state, appointed to examine
into the cause of smut in wheat, having
a wide circulation in agricultural papers
as a matter of fact to be relied on by
farmers. The report of this committee
was first published in the Rural Sun,
with editorial indorsement. The mate
rial part of the report is copied into the
Rural New Yorker which says: “This
is an important subject, and one which
granges, farm clubs and individual
farmers throughout the country should
investigate. This association of farm
ers recently becoming so popular and
successful, inaugurates anew era in
the progress of American agriculture,”
etc.
The error into which a half dozen
agricultural papers have been led, and
the Pulaski grange committee in the
first start of this nominal investigation,
has its origin in the tact that aH these
intelligent and respectable writers for
the press entirely overlook the careful
observations and studies of men of
science, aided by microscopes applied
to the investigation of parasites on
wheat during the last two hundred
years. This is one among a thousand
cases where book knowledge has great
value to the farmer to prevent serious
mistakes. Not to do Mr. Turner a
seeming injustice, we copy from his
published report as follows:
“This is a small, brownish hug,
about the size of a buffalo gnat, which
makes its appearance soon after harvest
times, and deposits its eggs in the cleft
of the wheat grain. These eggs are,
of course, sown with wheat in the fall,
and when germination takes place
these eggs are, of course, sown with
the wheat in the fall, and when germ
ination takes place these eggs are en
veloped in the plume and carried
upward in the ftituro growth of the
stem until, perhaps, the latter part of
May, when those conditions favorable
to insect life obtain, and the larva* arc
hatched, aud may lie found in one or
more of the lower joints of the stem—
rarely above the second from the top.
At harvest time, they may be seen
with the naked eye.”
No one has shown that the eggs of
insects circulate in the microscopic sap
vessels of wheat and other plants, nor
through the smaller pores in the cells
of plants. Animals and plants live on
wheat simultaneously ; but a smut-bug
no more produces smut than children
that eat wheat wheat bread. All see
the absurdity of saying that the life in
a horse can produce the life in an ear
of corn, making an animal the father
and mother of a well-known grain.
But the black mass of smut that often
grows on the seeds and stalks of corn,
and in the seeds of wheat, oats and
barley, is as much a plant as any cereal
can be* and like cereals has germs de
rived from parents, which reappear in
offspring, descending like the vitality
in man himself from one generation to
another. Two species of smut-fungi
are propagated by slovenly farmers in
the seeds of wheat —one, the uredo
sejetum and the other uredo feetida. The
spores of these parasites arc killed by
washing seed wheat in strong brine,
and letting it lie in brine an hour.
Should it remain in brine too long it
w ill destroy the life of the wheat and
render the seed valueless. Nothing is
easier than to infect clean wheat with
smut, and raise infected plants, with
no bugs or other insects near the
plants. Thousands of experiments of
this kind have been tried. In 1846
Gen. Harmond, a distinguished red
wheat grower in the town of Wheat
land, New’ York, showed the writer a
head of smut wheat with small live
bugs in the seeds, like bugs in English
peas. He claimed that the bugs
caused the smut. We made a plenty
of smut with the bugs left out from his
seed. Take a sack in which smutty
wheat has been handled, and put into
it a quart of as pure wheat, washed in
Milestone, cliamberlie, or whatever
else you please, that does not kill the
germs in the grain, having the salts to
kill the smut, washed off, and the sec
ond infection from the sack will be
perfect, and the harvest a crop of smut
as w ell as one of wheat, when the
quart of seed has been sown in the
usual way. Nothing is easier than to
raise a crop of cockle, a chrop of cheat
and a crop of smut by planting the
seed. The parasites known by the
names of rust and mildew are not so
easily prevented; they are, however,
blights that belong to the same class of
enemies. Draining swamps and clean
culture tend to dry the atmosphere
and keep at a distance those micro
scopic cells and germs that produce
malarial diseases in man and his do
mestic animals, and very similar mai
adies in all plants whose seeds and
fruits form human flood, and that of
cattle.
Potatoes for Horses.
Nearly every winter, when I have
my horses up in stable, I think I will
call the attention of your readers to
the practice of feeding potatoes to their
horses. I once came near losing a
very valuable horse from feeding him
dry bay and oats with nothing loosen
ing. 1 have never believed in dosing
a horse with medicine, but something is
actually necessary to keep a horse in
the right condition. Many use pow
ders, but potatoes are better, and safer,
and cheaper, if fed judiciously. If
those who are not in the habit of feed
ing potatoes to horses will try them,
they will be astonished at the result.
I have known a horse changed from a
lazy, dumpish one to a quick, active,
headstrong animal, in five days, by
simply adding two quarts of potatoes
to his feed daily. If very much clear
corn-meal is fed, they do not need so
many potatoes, Too many potatoes
are weakening, and so are too many
apples. When I was a lad, I was
away from home at school one winter,
and had the care of one horse, one yoke
of oxen, and one cow, every one of
which I had to card or curry every
day. The horse had three pails of
water, four quarts of oats, two quarts
of corn extra every day he worked,
with what hay he w r anted, and a
stronger and more active horse of his
inches I have never yet seen. — Cor.

Giving Their Hair a Rest. — The
hair is to be worn down, after the
manner of the “ Pre-Raphaelite ladies,”
as they are called in London. They
originated the fashion of loose hair,
and the mode has yielded, settling
lower and lower till to mass your hair
in a ribbon upon the nape of the neck,
after the whole length has been plaited
and then loosened out into the ripples
produced by its confinement in close
strands all night, is to argue yourself
not acquainted with the London haute
mode. The front locks are short, and
either lie down in a “ forehead fringe ”
or are “frizzed” and hang over the
eyes. The only departure from the
pendent frizzes or rippled hair is the
style which bears the unpoetic name of
“door-knob.” This is purely and sim
ply the hair of the weaver, without any
addition to its luxuriance or want of
luxuriance; a plaited knob midway
between the top of the head and the
nape of the neck. The belles of the
day tell us that the hair is taking a
rest.” The style will last a while, they
say, long enough to improve their
tresses.

and its~Associates.
Changes as Seen and Felt as they Daily Occur
after Using a few Doses of
DR.’RADW AY’S
Sarsaparillian
Resolvent.
THE GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER’
1. Good spirits, disappearance of weakness, lan
guor, melancholy; increase and hardness of flesh and
muscles, etc.
2. Strength increases, appetite improves, relish for
food, no more sour eructations or waterbrash, good
digestion, calm and undisturbed sleep, awaken fresh
and vigorous.
3. Disappearance of spots, blotches, pimples; the
skin looks clear and healthy, the urine changed from
its turbid and cloudy appearance to a clear sherry or
anther color; water passes freely from the bladder
through the urethra without pain or scalding; little
or no sediment; no pain or weakness.
t. Marked diminution of quantity or frequency of
involuntary weakening discharges (if afflicted that
way),o4th certainty of permanent cure. Increased
strength exhibited in the secreting glands, and func
tional harmony restored to the several organs.
5. Yellow tinge on the white of the eyes, and the
swarthy, saffron appearance of the skin changed to a
clear, lively, and healthy color.
<>. Those suffering from weak or ulcerated lungs or
tubercles will realize great benefit in expectorating
freely the tough phlegm or mucus from the lungs,
air cells, bronchi or windpipe, throat or head; di
minishing of the frequency of cough; general in
crease of strength throughout the system ; stoppage
of night sweats and pains and feeling of weakness
around the ankles, legs, shoulders, etc.; cessation of
cold and chills, sense of suffocation; hard breathing
and paroxysms of cough on lying down or arising in
the morning. All these distressing symptoms gradu
ally and surely disappear.
7. As day after day the SABSAPARILLIAN is
taken, new signs of returning health will appear; as
the blood improves in strength and purity, disease
will diminish, and all foreign and impure deposits,
nodes, tumors, cancers, hard lumps, etc., be resolved
away and the unsound made sound and healthy ; ul
cers. fever sores, syphiltic sores, chronic skin diseases
gradually disappear.
8. In cases vliere the system has been salivated,and
Mercury,Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate (the prin
cipal constituent in the advertised Sarsaparillas, as
sociated in some cases with Hyd. of Potassa) have
accumulated and become deposited in the bones,
joints, etc., causing caries of the hones, rickets, spinal
curvatures, contortions, white swellings, vericose
veins, etc., the S ARM A PARILLIA N will resolve
a way these deposits and exterminate the virus of the
disease from the system.
9. If those who are taking these medicines for the
cure of Chronic, Scrofulous or Syphilitic diseases,
however hlow may be the cure, “ feel better,” and
find their general health improving, their flesh and
weight increasing or even keeping its own, it is a sure
sign that the cure is progressing. In these diseases
the patient either gets better or virus of
the disease is not inactive ; if not arrested and driven
from the blood, it will spread and continue to under
mine the constitution. As soon as the SABXAPA
HI 1.1,1 AX makes the patient “feel better,” every
hour you will grow better and increase in health,
strength and flesh.
The great power of this remedy is in diseases that
threaten death—as in Consumption of the Lungs and
Tuberculous Phthisis, Scrofula, Syphiloid Diseases,
Wasting, Degeneration and Ulceration of the Kid
neys, Diabetes, Stoppage of Water (instantaneous
relief afforded where catheters have to be used, thus
doing away with tiie painful operation of using these
instruments), dissolving stone in the bladder, and in
all cases of Inflammation of the Bladder and Kid
neys, in Chronic cases of Leucorrhea Uterine
diseases.
In tumors, nodes, hard lumps and syphiloid plcers ;
in dropsy ; in venerial sore throat, ulcers, and in tu
bercles of the lungs ; in gout, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
rickets; in mercurial deposits—it is in these terrible
forms of disease, where the human body lias become
a complete wreck, and where every hour in existence
is torture, wherein this great remedy challenges the
astonishment and admiration of the sick. It is in
such cases, where all the pleasures of existence ap
pear cut off from the unfortunate, and by its wonder
ful, almost supernatural, agency, it restores the hope
less to anew life and new existence where this great
remedy stands alone in its might anil power.
In the ordinary skin diseases that every one is more
or less troubled with, a few doses will in most cases,
and a few bottles in the more aggravated form, work
a permanent cure.
Those afflicted with chronic diseases should pur
chase a package containing one dozen bottles. Price
$lO per dozen, or $5 per half dozen bottles, or $1 per
bottle. Sold by druggists.
