weather is soft, the borders afford ample room for 

 the cattle. In this way, the urine is saved, and 

 the waste incident to rains, &c. is prevented. — 

 The cattle should he kept constantly yarded in 



brushes the part which gives the most pleasure. 

 The ox shows his gratitude by wagging his tail ; 

 the feeder in return ealls him by name and ingra- 

 tiates himself with him. Thus not only an intima- 

 cy, but a mutual affection is formed, wliich at 

 once gives attention to the keeper and docility to 

 the 0.1, and renders the labour of both pleasant. 

 Their labour and their fodder ought to be pro 



.vinter, except when let out to water, and ^be 

 yard frequently replenished with dry litter. Upon 

 this plan, from ten to twelve loads of unfermented 



manure may be obtained every spring for each ,.,.,, j , • 

 animal and if the stable manure is spread over portioned that their health and their spirits may

 od and the quantity propovtionably increased.— ' sleek ; their hides loose and silky; the flank should 

 \ny excess of liquid that may remain after the fill the hand ; and the shoulder handle mellow.— 

 dung is removed in the spring, can bo profitably If they be over-worked, or under fed, sluggish- 

 applied to grass, grain, or garden crops. It is ness and disease will inevitably follow. A work- 

 used extensively in Flanders, and in other parts ing ox ought always to be beer, that in case of ac-

 il would be an important addition, to the above ble." ■

as above, and so located as to receive not only he ^^^ .^^ ^^j ^ unground pepper, 



wash of the yard, but the hqu.d manure from the ^,^^.g^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^ of bread, and work all 



stable. This should be sufficiently large to drain 

 off and contain most of the superabundant mois- 

 ture from the manure in the yard ; which, if too 

 wet, will give out unhealthy exhalations, besides 

 being of less value as food for plants. The re- 

 servoir should have a movable top or cover with 

 grating or small holes, which will admit the liquid 



together ; roll it into cakes, and when throughly 

 dried it is excellent. The Russians add bits of 

 bacon, and tie it up in bladders or pots. It needs 

 no cooking, and is thought to be superior to com- 

 mon potted beef or Bologna sausages. 



Congress have made grants of land to certain 

 but exclude the solid part of the manure ; and the emigrants from France, for the culture of the vine 

 former should be pumped out or otherwise taken \ and olive 

 and applied as above directed. [See N. E. Far- 

 mer, Vol. V. page 161, 162.]
