March 8 49 Massey’s Improved Cotton dins. THE subscriber is nownrepared to manufacture a su perior article of COTTON GINS, having procu red materials of the best quality and being supplied with the best of workmen. Besides he is now making con siderable addition to his machinery, which will enable him to furnish as good gins, and on ns reasonable terms, ns any factory in the State. The subscriber has the exclusive right of Simpson’’ Patent, (for applying metalic rubber to drums, pullies 4c.) for some fifty of the best cotton growing countie’ in the State ; which he intends applying to his gins when required. And it is certainly of great advant age to the cotton gin, for it not only requires one third tmn power to propel it, where the metalic rubber is ap plied, but the gin. running geer, and every thing con nected with it, will last ns much longer in proportion. I believe there is no one of common sense but will ad mit, that the lighter machinery of any kind can run, the longer it will last. It appears that a grent many persons prefer what is called a water box, to all such I would say, that it is not worth one cent for the pmpose recommended—that is to prevent the gin from taking fire, for this simple rea son, n gin never takes fire from the box. but invariably from the brush inside the gin, (when it takes fire at all.) But as every man has his own notions, I will furnish a box of my own invention (to all who may require it,) equal to the patent water box.

TLEA*AN I’ KAu June 21 12 It FOOD FOR HORSES. KIND OF FOOD. In this country horses tire fed upon oats, liny. and roots. Many people talk as if they eould he fed on nothing else. But in other parti of the world, where the productions of the soil tire different, the food of the horse is different. “In some sterile countries they j are forced to subsist on dried fish, and even on vegetable mould; in Arabia, on milk, flesh- I ball*, eggs, broth, &c. In India, horses are i variously fed. The native grasses are judged , very nutritious. Few, perhaps no oats are grown ; barley is rare, and not commonly given to horses. In Bengal, a vetch, some thing like the tare is used. On the western side ol India, a sort of pigeon pea, called grant, (ciccr arietinum.) forms the ordinary food, : with grass while in season, mid hay all the i year round. Indian corn or rice is seldom given. In the West Indies, maize, Guinea t orn, sugar-cane tops, and sometimes molas ses, arc given. In the Mahratta conntry. salt, pepper, and other spices are made into balls with Hour and butter, and these nrc supposed to produce animation, and to line the coat. Broth made from sheep’s head is sometimes given, in France, Spain and Italy, besides the grasses, the leaves oflimes, vines, the tops ol acacia, and the seeds of the curub-tnje, are I given to horses.” j The articles upon which horses are fed in this country are usually arranged in three I classes. That which possesses the least nu triment in proportion to its bulk, is termed fod der, and consists of grass, hay and straw ; that which possesses the most nutriment in proportion to its bulk, is termed grain. This word is often used as if it belonged exclu sively to oats ; hut it is a general name for all the kinds of grain and pulse upon which hor ses are fed. 111 this work it is ued only in its general sense. Roots, such ns carrots, j turnips and potatoes, (orm the third kind of I bod. In relation to their bulk, they have less i nutriment than grain, and more titan fodder. GREEN HERBAGE. There are several kinds of green food, but the individual properties of each are so little \ known, that much cannot be said about them. Grass is the natural food of horses. It is provided for him without the interference of art. It is composed of a great number of plants, differing much or little from each oth er in structure, composition and duration. Some of the natural grasses are to the horse mere weeds, destitute of nutriment, thougli not positively injurious. Several are rejecleil, or eaten only when there is nothing else to eat und none are sufficiently rich to maintain tiie horse in condition for constant work, even though the work be moderate. At a gentle pace he may travel a few miles to-day, hut he is unfit for a journey to-morrow. By rutting the grass and bringing it to the slable,’the horse may be saved the labor of collecting it; but still he can render very little service. Grass, however, or green herbage of some kind, is given to almost all horses during a part of the year. The young animals, irom the time they are weaned till they are fit lor work, receive grass as long as it can be had. Hunting and racing colts excepted, they receive little else. It is commonly believed that grass has some ; renovating and puryfying properties, not pos sessed by hay nor by grain. It is true that all the kinds of green herbarge, including clo ver, saintform, lucerne, tares and rye-grass, produce a change upon the horse. But wheth er the change be for better or for worse, is another question. For the first two or three s days, green food relaxes the bowels and in j creases the secretion of urine and of perspira tion. Very often it produces an eruption on the skin, particularly when given along with tt large allowance of grain. When the horse j is permitted to eat what he pleases, the belly becomes large. These effects may be term jed immediate. They are most apparent at the commencement, hut are visible so long its the horse receives any considerable quantity of grass. Green litod produces other effects I not so easily traced. Wounds heal more kindly, inflammatory diseases are not so filial, and chronic diseases frequently abate, or they entirely disappear, under the use of grass. Tiie horse, however, is always soft, when fed much on green food. He sweats a great deal, and is soon exhausted by his work. Ctorer. Rye-grass. Tars,*. Lucern Saint foitl and the Oat-Plant, are till used as green 1 food. So far as the horse is concerned, one ! seems to be as good as any of the others. They appear to produce the “same effects as • grass. Amid such variety we might expect to find seme difference; but I have not been able to perceive any. Some horses, indeed. ■ like one article better than another, but this seems to he mere taste, tor no one of them ap js'itrs to be generally preferred nor rejected. There are various opinions, however, as to the comparative value of these articles. Some affirm that clover is less nutritious than rye grass. some thill lares are poor watery feed ing, and others that lucerne and saintloin are the best of the whole lot. But opinion on the subject seems to he quite vague. Whatever one affirms, another will be found to deny. In Scotland, lucerne and saintloin are very little used : hut clover, rye-grass and tares are given each in their season, as ifone were equal to another. Beans, wheat, rye and oats, the whole plant are sometimes, but very seldom, and never regularly used us Ibod lor horses. Cabbage, and some other green articles, are eaten, but they deserve no particular notice. Several, which form the ordinary green lihkl for horses in other countries, are not grown here.

II AY. In Scotland moat oft he hay used for horses is composed of rye-grass or rye grass and clo ver. The natural hay which is not very much used lure, coutniua several plant*. Much of the hay in Scotland 1* had. A g's*l deal is grown on poor land and tills ia soft dwarfish, nml des titute of nutriment. But hay in general is not well made. In the south it i* cured with nure nkill, and preserved with more care. he bust we have in the west of Scotland is procured from Stirlingshire, and is composed ol rye-grass and a little clover. In Rngland clover-hay stands in high re pute for hard-working draught hprses. In the market it brings 20 per cent, more than mea j!r,w ( ? r rye-grass hay. Hard upland meadow 1 hay is preferred for hunter* and racers, be | cause, I suppose, they are apt to eat too j much of the clover. In Scotland ryc j grass, or a mixture nt rye-gross and clover, is considered the best, for all horses. Here we have almost no good meadow hay, and most ol that made from the ..utural grasses is hard ly worth preserving. (food /lay is about a year old. long and large, hard, tough; its color inclining to green, rather than to white ; it has a sweet taste and pleasant smell ; the seed is abundant ; inl’u *ed in hot water, it produces a rich, dark-col ored-tea. The less dust it has about it the better ; but, from the soil, und the way in which hay is math 1 here, it it is seldom free Irom dust. In damp weather hay absorbs much moisture, and weighs a good deal the heavier. .Yetr Hay is purgative and debilitating. It seems to be difficult of digestion. [American hay is drier and better cured than English, and we believe that it contains more saccha rine matter; these observations, therefore, can hardly apply to it.J The horse loud of it, and will eat a large quantity, much of which passes through him little altered by the digestive process, and probuhly retaining a good deal of nutriment. On the other hand hay which is very old is dry, tasteless and brittle. The horse rejects much, and eats lit tle. Old hay is much recommended ; but by old I suppose is meant not new. In tiie south perhaps, stacked hay does not so soon degen erate as in the north, where it is certainly old enough in one year. Heated Hay. sometimes termed mowbumt. ;is that which has undergone too much fer mentation. In curing hay it is thrown in a heap to sweat, that is, till a slight degree of 1 fermentation takes place which is arrested by exposing the hay to the air. This, it appears is necessary for its preservation in the stack. But sometimes the process is carried too far, or, more frequently, it is re-excited, after the hay is stored past. Hay that has been thus injured is not all alike. Some of it acquires a very sweet sugary taste ; and this portion is eaten ; some ol it is changed in color to a dark brown, and has its texture altered ; it is short, brittle as rotten wood, and lias a disa greeable taste ; this portion seems to be re jected ; another portion of the same stack is mouldy, stinking quite rotten, and no horse will eat this. All kinds of hay, however good originally, may sutler this injury. When the 1 damage has been slight, most horses will eat portions oi the hay very greedily ; they seem to be fond ol it lor the first week, but subse quently it is rejected in disgust Upon the 1 whole, I believe it is the most unprofitable fodder that horses can receive. When very , bad it is dear, though obtained in a gift, for it often does much mischief; particularly to horses of fast work. Much is wasted, and that which is eaten does little good. It is almost as poisonous as it is nutritious. Slow i draught horses may not. indeed he greatly in jured by it. But good wheat-straw may be fietter. To last, hard-working horses, such as those employed in mails, it is a strong uiuret- ! ic ; and its diuretic power does not diminish by use. Hay tbnns an important part of the horse’s food, particularly of those horses that receive no roots or boiled meat. Bad hay will change the horse’s appearance and con j dition in two days, when he has an unlimited ’ quantity of corn. By bad hay I mean that I which is unwholesome. It may be jioor, hav | tog little nutriment, hut sweet and digestible i without being pernicious. But good straw is lietter than unwholesome hay liir all kinds of 1 horses. The kidneys are excited to extraor | dinary activity. The urine, which, in this ; disease, is always perfectly transparent is ; discharged very frequently and in copious profusion. The horse soon becomes hidebound emaciated, and feeble. His thirst is exces s,ve. H e never refuses water, and he drinks it as it he never wuuld give over. The dis | ease does not produce death, but it renders the horse useless, and ruins the constitution. I Should he catch cold, or take the iufiuenzu. which prevailed so much in Glasgow during the winter ol 1830 glanders is seldom iar off* | One ton of good hay will, unless the men be excessively careless, go as liir as two tons of that which is had. To slow-work horses, mowburnt hay may be given with less detri ment, but it is less unprofitable when consu med by cattle. Musty flay is known by its bad color, its un pleasant smell, and bitter taste. It is soft, and coated with fungi. Like ull oilier hay, its smell is most distinct when slightly damped by breathing upon it. Old luty is often mus ty. without having been heated. None but a hungry horse wilT eat it. and when eaten in I considerable quantity it is said to lie •• bad lor ! the wind.” In truth it is bad for every part !of the body, lu some places they sprinkle this musty liny with a solution ol salt, which induces the horse to eat it ; but even thus it answers better lor bedding than for feeding, and to that purpose the Imrse applies the most ’ of it. Weather-beaten Hay. is that which lias lain in the sward exposed to the rain and the sun. It is musty, full of dust, sapless, bleached or blackened, and destitute of seed. Such. also, is the state of that which has stood too long uncut. All hay slinuid be cut a lew days be fore the seed is quite ripe. After it has lost most of its seed and its juices, little is left to afford nutriment. Salteil Hay. tlmt is. hay with which salt lias been mingled at the time oi stacking it. is not much used in Scotland. It is not to be had. I can tell nothing about it. Horses are said to prefer it to liny other. But the prin cipal motive for salting hay is to preserve it wla n the weather requires tlmt it Is’ slacken before It is sufficiently dry. Salt prevents or checks fermentation. It darkens the color ol the Imy und makes it weigh heavier, lor salt attracts moisture. Salt. 1 think should not be forced on the horse. It may excite too much thirst. Given apart Irom the food, he may take all that is good forhui). Damaged Imy i- often sprinkled with salt water, which seems to reader it less disgusting, und may possibly correct its bad properties. It should be wetted as wanted, tor it soon becomes sodden ami rotten. Wo Daily quantity of Hay allowed to each horse must vary with the quality and the work. If the grain be limited, tiie tinrsc will eat a greater weight of poor bay than of that winch is more nutritious. If it la 1 damaged in consumes more than it it were sound, for be rejects some, |k riiaps a ball! and tlmt which be eats does not furnish so much nutriment. When the work i first the horse must not have mi much as to give him a large hellv. F.iglit pounds ol good liny is about the usual allowance to fast-working Imrse*, who may re ceive Irom twelve to lifteenor eighteen pounds of gram. Large draught horses will consume from twenty to thirty pounds but the quanti ty j.. seldom limited liir these. Much, how ever depends upon the allowance ol grain. A German agriculturalist, calculates that eight |sumds ol meadow bay. or seven of that made from clover, tares, of saintloin, afford as much nourishment us three |sninds ut’ oats. t)l the bay raised oil |mor soils, nine pounds may la: required. * Tb*’ inffueiu* t menu wns not nt sll similar to silis rsse winch weal muter ihc same twine st the ssiai tans in t&atgisnd Wc lent almost nine of its- Kog . hsh t ifWn/rt till the lasi week of Msv, |R37. lu ills month ol Jane it wsvtrti prevalent A horse can live on bay and water, and when thrown off work for a considerable peri od, be often receives nothing else.

A little grain, some roots, or a bran-mash, thougli giv en only once in two days, will help to keep bint in flesh. 1 have heard of the horse being kept almost entirely on bay, receiving grain only when he wax to be u-ed. 1 would re commend the owner to confine himself to bread and water for a week or two. and then try what work a beef-stake will enable him to do. There is a material difference between eating to live and eating to work. The tom ach and bowels will hardly hold sufficient hay to keep even an idle horse alive. The only preparation which liny receives before it is given, is that of cutting it into chuff into short pieces. When given uncut, the groom does, or should, shake out the dust be fore he puts it in the rack. | Hay 7h;a —An infusion of hay made by pour ing boiling water upon it. and covering it tip till cool, has been recommended ns an excef ’ lent nutritious drink for sick horses, arid also for those in health. It might perhaps be a very good substitute for gruel ; possibly a quart or two of tea might not be a bad tiling lor a racer, given between heats, and to ward the end of the day. when the horse is beginning to get exhausted Irani lasting, i but it has not been tried. Hay-Seed. —lu Scotland, and wherever the ; hay is made chiefly from rye-grass the seed is , often made use of in feeding. It is sometimes | mixed with the oats to prevent the horse from j swallowing them whole, but most generally it is given along with the boiled Ibod. either to j divide it or to soak up the liquor. It contains more nutriment than the hay itself, but proba bly not a great deal, unless the hay has stood too long uncut. Some people say that hay seed is bad for the wind, but 1 have never been able to trace any evil to its use. There is always much dust mingled with it. and this should always be removed by washing. Some times the seed is boiled, and sometimes mere ly added to the boiled food while it is hot. I do not know that boiling improves it. but it is much better liked after boiling or masking titan in its raw state. STRAW. There ore five kinds of straw used ns fod der. Straw however, is little used here. In many parts ol Europe, wheat..hurley, or rye straw forms the whole of greater part of tiie dried herbage, hay being ulmost unknown, lit some ot the towns, wheat and oat straw arc occasionally given to cart-boise*. and in some cases to coaching horses. In the country both white and black straw are in common use as winter fodder for the farm-horses. It is very probable that wheat straw, and per haps some ot tiie others, may soon be used more extensively than they “are at present. Good straw is certainly better than bnd hay, anil possibly by increasing the allowance ol grain, and cutting the straw, Imy might be al almost entirely dispensed with. Though con taining mucli less nutriment, it still contains some, and it serves quite us well as Imy to divide the grain and give it a whole some size. It must be understood that food ought to possess bulk proportioned in some degree to the capacity ot the digestive organs. Nutriment can be given in a very concentra ted state, yet it is not proper to condense it beyond a certain point. Grain alone will give all tiie nourishment which any horse can need, but he must also have todder to give bulk to the grain, though it need not of necessity yield much nutriment. Straw, therefore, may often be used where hay is used. But when horse's are living chiefly on bay, as many farm-horses do, during part of the winter, it must not be supposed that an equal quantity, or indeed any quan'ity of straw, will supply the place of “that hay. The stom ach and bowels will hardly huld bay enough to nourish even an idle horse, and “as straw yields less nutriment in proportion to its bulk, enough cannot he eaten to furnish the nutri ment required. The deficiency must be made up by roots or gram When much straw is used, part or the whole ought to be cut into chaff. It is labo rious work to masticate it all. and in time it will tell upon the teeth, which in old iiorses are often worn to the gums, even by hay and grain. Darn-Chaff. —The shell which is separated from wheat and oats in thrashing is often given to farm-horses. It seems to be very jioor stuff. It looks as if it contained no nutri ment, yet it limy serve to dn ide the grain, to make the horse masticate it and to prevent him from swallowing it too hurriedly. In this way it may so liir supply the place of cut fod der. lkit the burn cimtl is usually mingled with the boiled food, und if the article ho very soft, the chaff may give them consistence, but it does little more. The coving chaff of beans is said to form a very good manger ibod. ROOTS. Potatoes, carrots and turnips are the roots chiefly used liir feeding horses. Parsnips, su gar Iwet. mangel-wurzel and yams, are occa sionally employed. rOTATOEH Are given both raw and boiled ; in citiier state they are mueh relished by all horses as a change from other food. They are rather laxative than otherwise, especially when given uncooked. Given raw and in consider able quantity to a horse not accustomed to them, they are almost sure to produce indiges tion and colic ; when boiled or steamed they are less apt to ferment in tiie stomach. For horses that do slow and perhaps not very hard or long continued work potatoes may. ia h great measure, or entirely, supercede grain. They are little used for last-work horses yet they may be given, und sometimes tliev are given without any harm. On many larms they form, along with draw fodder, the whole of the horse’s winq r likml. In Essex, Ihrra liorses have been kept throughout the winter entirely upon steamed potatoes. Each horse got fifty pounds |ier day, nml did the ordinary work of the liirin with the greatest raw. Some salt was mixed with them, and occa sionally u little sulphur, which ia quite auper flou*. According to Professor Low. fifteen pounds of raw potatoes yield as much nutriment us four atui a half pounds of oats. You Timer says, tlmt three bushels are equal to 11:2 pounds of bay. Curwen who tried |sitatoes very extensively in feeding horses, says that an acre goes ns far os lour acres of bay.

Tim Xcxnia Torch Light publishes a let ter from a returned volunteer who belonged to the St. Louis Legion, from which we extract the following anecdote : The Locos claim that their defeat in Ohio arose in part from the fact that the volun teers were mostly democrats. We are great ly mistaken if they hail not more to fear from their absence. The sovereign cure for loco focoism now known, is a peep the Mexi can war— the elephant, as tile volunteers call it. ‘•One night during the four days’ rain, i was standing sentinel hall leg deep in the water It was a night not easily forgotten— such sheets of vivid lightning, such bursts of loud thunder, such roaring groans of wind and rain, I never before experienced.
