sncli as roots or drank,* abundantly suffices for 

 keeping cattle in heart through the winter, provi- 

 ded they are sheltered from cold rains. Mr. Bake- 

 well kept his fine cattle on straw and turnips in 

 winter.' 'A drank for keeping cattle may be made 

 thus: roots, chaff, or cut straw and salt, boiled to- 

 gether with a good quantity of water; the roots 

 cut or mashed. The cattle drink the water, and 

 eat the rest. Drank {or fattening cattle thus: 

 roots, meal, Sax-seed, chaff, or cut straw and salt, 

 well boiled together in aplenty of water. If given 

 warm, not hoi, it is better.' The same author says, 

 ' Hay, meal, and linseed jelly, with drank, must be 

 excellent food in stall fattening. Linseed-jelly is 

 thus made : seven quarts of water to one of flax- 

 sr.il, steeped in a part of the water 48 hours; 

 then add the remaining water, cold, and boil it 

 gently two hours, stirring constantly to prevent 

 burning. It is cooled in tubs, and given mixed 

 with any meal, bran, or cut chad". Each bullock 

 (large) has two quarts of jelly a day ; equal to a 

 little more than one quart of seed in four days.' 



* The word drank is given us by Count Rumford, for distin- 

 guishing this composition from common water. 



Mistake relative to Toasts at the Brighton Show. 

 — In our last paper, (page 126) a material mistake 

 was made, as respects Mr. Welles' Toast, and 

 the occasion which introduced it. The. remarks 

 made by Mr. Welles' on the display of the large 

 apple raised by Gov. Lincoln, were in allusion to 

 the successful efforts of the Governor as a cultiva- 

 tor, and the toast itself, which followed his re- 

 marks was omitted. The toast was 



The President of the Worcester Agricultural So- 

 ciety. May he go forth to his agricultural pursuits, 

 though he may make it unsafe to pass through the 

 orchard. 



The well merited compliment, paid to the Ora- 

 tor of the day, was from another source.
