To raise anti gather sufficient food to keep a number of cows, sheep or horses, through four or six months of winter, require no small amount of labor and money, and our farmers have to make close calculations in this matter, or find the balance on the wrong side of the ledger. When the country was new and the land rich enough to produce bountiful without the application of ma nures, the kinds of food costing the least labor wert preferred ; consequent ly good hay and grain answered every purpose, practising anything else was seldom thought of by the well-to-do j farmer. But of li.te years, hay, straw, and oats,have become cash articles, even far back in the country, and hundreds of miles from our larger cities, and this change of circumstances n Rurally leads the farmer to count more closely the cost of keeping his stock." If a cow will consume two tons of hay during the winter and this is worth twenty dollars per ton, it does not require much figuring t> arrive at a definite conclu sion in regard to what may be expected in the way of profits. Of course it would not be economy for the farmer to sell all his richest and best fodder, and then endeavor to keep his stock through winter od the poorest. Still,by tne application of an increas ed amount of labor in preparing a sec ond-rate article, its value for food may frequently be largely iocrea ed. It is here that economy may be practised, and it is, to a considerable extent by our most thorough and thriving farmers.— Hay at twenty to thirty dollars per ton is very dear food, but it is so convens lent for handling or feeding out that the owners of stock dislike to dispense it, even it does cost more than they b- 1 said'X a^ to P a y- The same may ~ * '-its, but convenience goes a great way in J , . ° • i. siting a demand, espec ially with those w. ° t ’ K. , . J . • . are not compelled to practice strict r But farmers who resm* ne ar Pri markets may turn many a penny to tiu? profit side of their farm accounts, by disposing of their most saleable and reliable handled produce, and then using those of an opposite character for their own stock. The coarser kinds of forage plants will answer as well as the finer if artificially prepared, by cutting up and steaming, adding meal, shorts or bran, and giving roots at the same time. Hungarian grass, grass, millet, corn sta’ks, and strajv become first-rate food for stock when properly prepared by cooking or steaming We know that there is much prejudice existing among farmers in regarnd to grinding, cutting, and steaming food for their stock, but we believe it is mainly in consequence of the extra labor required, and not from any reason to apprehend any inju ry to the animal. Coarse food made palatable and easy to digest by such process as we have named is not likely to be injurious, even if it is in a slightly unnatural condition. The experiments of our most scientific agriculturists show that it is economy to make the animals a s digesti ble as possible, without destroying its nutritive proprieties, and farming is carried to its greatest perfection, and is most profitable, when these processes are most in vogue. Our farmers must learn to practise economy by saving, not wasting, the eoarser kinds of farm produce which have to a great extent been considered of little or no value. More root crops slnuld be grown, and the straw stack utilized instead £of being left to rot down for manure, as is still done over a large extent of country. Let the steam boiler be set up anti be more ex tensively used for preparing food for stock, and better results will surely fol low, especially in the older States, where all kinds of farm produce command good prices. Few farmers seem to know how little food keep an animal healthy and in good flesh, if that little is putin the condition to he all appropriated to the animal’s use, and not pass off undigested —New York Weekly Sun. Relative Value of Ci’ii and llogs. Farmers may see, from the following calculation, whether they had better sell corn or feed it to pigs: From carefully conducted epxeriments by. different persons, it has been ascer tained that one bushel of corn will make a little over Ijo£ pouns of pork, gross.- Taking the result as a basis, the follow ing deductions are-made : W hen corn costs 12J cents per bush el* pork costs 11 por pound. When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 25 cents p'fer bushel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. When corn costs 33 cents per bushel, pork costs 4 cents per pound. When corn costs do cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents por pound. The following statements show what the lurmer realizes on his corn when in the form of pork When pork sells for 3 cents per pouud, ic brings 25 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 3 cents “per pound, it brings 25 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 4 cents per pound, it brings 33 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sell for 5 cents per pound, u brings 45 cents per bushel in corn —j Exchange. ('(Urinal. AN ADDRESS TO THE SICK. Do you want to purify the system? Do you want to get ri 1 of Biliousness?
