Uuslc com—see that the stalks are 
well secured from wet—apply salt, 
in stacking them. Dig potatoes— 
and to prevent their rotting, let 
them be dry, clean, and kept in a 
cool place. Gather winter apples— 
let them all be carefully hand-pick¬ 
ed, using light and convenient lad¬ 
ders, and avoid bruising the tree.

COOKING FOOD 
In fattening swine, a great advantage has resulted in 
giving them cooked food. Some of the best and most 
accurate farmers of our acquaintance, have found that 
corn ground and cooked is so much 
better digested and assimilated by 
their hogs, that one bushel of cooked 
corn is worth as much as two and a 
half bushels fed unground or in the 
ear. The trouble and expense of 
cooking cannot be equal to one half 
of this waste; every farmer, there¬ 
fore, who feeds out 500 bushels of corn 
in the ear, actually throws away about 200 bushels, 
which may be equal to the whole amount of what would 
otherwise be his clear profits in pork making. 
One of the best things in the world for cooking food, 
is Mott’s Agricultural Furnace, represented in the an¬ 
nexed wood cut. It is wholly of cast iron, the stove 
and boiler being connected together, and the whole be¬ 
ing quite portable. The fire passes up around the boiler, 
through a thin space surrounding its entire outer sur¬ 
face ; and a very small quantity of wood will heat a 
large body of water. A man may easily carry in his 
arms enough wood to boil two barrels of water. We 
have found it to need only a third of the fuel formerly 
required for a kettle set in a common brick u arch.” 
The same advantages do not pertain to cooking for 
cattle, except to soften and improve some hard kinds

of food. One of the best farmers in the country pur¬ 
sues the following practice: The chaff is stowed away 
in bins, to be mixed in winter with cut straw and corn¬ 
stalks, This mixture is placed in 
large barrels in the barn cellar, and 
hot water, from one of Mott’s Fur¬ 
naces, poured in to moisten the 
whole. The barrels are instantly 
covered, and in a few hours the chaff 
and cut feed are well cooked, and are 
eaten with great avidity by the cattle 
before it is yet cold. 
A great advantage resulting from this mode of feeding 
is, that the manure from the stalks and coarse feed is 
always short, and quickly intermixes and is decomposed. 
Feeding Cattle in Winter. —The American Far 
mer says, “ A neighbor of ours had an oblong tight 
box made, with a top—he filled this box with cut stalks, 
poured over them a pot of boiling water, shut down the 
lid and put a weight upon it, and thus cooked them 
with the steam. By the time the water became milk 
warm, the stalks were sufficiently cooked. For his 
milch cows, he had bran or mill feed mixed; and they 
were always in a thriving condition.” 
If you would have your business done, go; if not, send.
