CARROTS FOR MILE COWS. WE cannot appreciate the value of the Carrot too highly as food for cows-indeed, we think it should be used for nothing else. How much valuable winter food for cows we could raise on half an acre of land, in carrotts, beets, &c., we are unable to judge, but hear what a correspondent of the Cul tivator says upon this subject: Messrs. Editors.-I have tried feeding carrots to milch cows, and will give you oce of my experiments. I have (April 15th,) seven cows in milk-one calved in June, the rest in September and October. I raised 80 bushels ruta bagas, and 400 bushels ol carrots, and fed them to my cows, commenc. ing the first of December. I gave them 21 bushels per day, at noon, the ruta bagas first, and when they were all fed out, the same quantity of -carrots. I found, when I had fed the latter few days, that my cows were each giving from two to three pints of milk riore per day, than when fed on ruta bagas. I was feeding my cows meanwhile, with cut hay, and two pounds oil-cake meal, and 2J pounds wheat screenings, grounds. The thought struck me that I should like to know the value of carrots for makine milk, so I selected the cow that calved lasi for the trial. I weighed the hay, meal and carrots, and I fed per day 27 pounds of hay 4J pounds of mixed meal, and 22 pounds o: carrots, and she gave 35 pounds of milk pei day. I then left off the carrots, and gavi the same amount of meal, and all the ha3 she would eat, which was 33 pounds pe day. After feeding so for a week, I found she gave 23 pounds of milk per day. I ther gave her the carrots as before, and in eigh or ten days she came up again to 35 pound. of milk per day. This shows that carrots are worth to me to feed to cows, 82 cents per 100 pounds Hay is worth $20 per ton in the barn, and at 3 cents per quart, or 1 cent per pounc for milk; 6 pounds less hay, and 12 poundi more milk, give 18 cents for 22 pounds o carrots. My carrots are all gone now, or would try one or two more cows. Nexl winter I hope to have another opportunitj for experiment. ABNER HAVEN. SAVE YOUR O1PSEDS. WE can hardly hope to induce many o our readers to give attention to this mos economical fertilizer. It seems to us tha the trouble and expense incurred in making a tank or sinking a barrel or hogshead, fo, the saving this valuable liquid, is trivial wher comnpared with the benefits arising from the use of soap suds upon our gardens alone Tho Scienty/ic American gives us the follow ing practical remarks upon this subject. We would do well to heed them: THE value of this liquid as a stimulant oi vegetation does not appear to be generally appreciated by our agriculturists many ol whom make no use of it. In a state of incipient putridity, soap suds is replete with the element of vegetables, in a state of ac. tual and complete solution; the only condi. tion, indeed, in which it is susceptible o1 absorption and assimilation by the roots 0a plants. Besides its value as a powerful stim. ulant, it possesses, also, very potent anthel. mintic properties, and when used in the irri. gation of garden and field crops-the best wvay, perhaps, in which it can be applied te vegetables-operates as a remedy againsi the ragages of bugs, worms, &c. Ever~ farmer should have a large tank or vat, capa ble of holding from three to four cart loads it should be constructed in some place eas~ of access, and to which, without difficulty the wash from the sink and laundry can be regularly conveyed. In this reservoir all the wash matter produced on the farm shoulc be thrown-bones, refuse, ashes, muck, turf rich soil, and chip manure from the wvood. shed; in short, every substance capable of absorbing the rich fertilizing liquid, anc retaining it for the benefit of the soil on wich it is to be applied. Nature has everywhere supplied in munificent abundance, the means of fertility, and we have only to appropriate and apply them judiciously, to secure the best and most flattering results. Some agri. cultural writers have estimated the value of a hogshead of suds, in a state of incipient putridity, to be very nearly equal to that o. a cord of prepared manure, but as this value depends entirely on the grease or fatty acids, and the soda or potash of which it is corn posed, non-nitrogenous materials, its virtues may be over-estimated. To IMITATE MAHoGANY.-Let the sur face be planed smooth, and rubbed with a solution of nitrous acid. Then apply, with a soft brush,, the following mixture: one ounce of dragon's blood, dissolved in about a pint of spirits of wine, and with the addi tion a third of an ounce of carbonate of soda, mixed and filtered. When the polish diminishes in brillaney, it may be restored by the use of a little cold-drawn linseed oil, dragons' blood, as most of our readers know, is a resin obtained by incision from certain tropical plants, and is sold at the druggists, to the varnishers and marbles stainers. The method is extensively adopted in France and might be well adopted in the United states, for the interior decorations to our dwellings.-Seientific American. AGRICULTURAL ANDMECHANICAL SCHooI.s -Agriculture has been introduced, as a subject of study in the public schools of New Hamshire. Books treating of the elements of that science have been ordered to be supplied the pupils. This is a good movement. The practical operations of the agriculturist will be all the more intelligently performed by understanding the scientific principles upon which they are based. A~roNG the many uses to which beet root can be applied, is that of making pasteboard. A manufactory has just been established at Lou..in, in, F.''r-. For the Farmers' Corner of the Advertiser. A LEAF FROM THE HISTORY OF FARMER TH RIF T Y. WHEN Farmer THRIFTY set out in life he had nothing, save a few acres of tolera ble land, a negro boy fifteen years of age, and his saddle horse. His father, a very worthy man, possessing a share of common sense considerably above mediocrity, en deavored to give his children as liberal an education as his circumstances would allow, together with a practical knowledge of bu. siness. An ardent desire for knowledge, together with a taste for reading, did more for our hero than a mere school education; and du ring the long cheerful winter evenings, and the leisure hours in the summer, book after book was devoured with the greatest avidity. Young Thrifty and Dolorous were neigh bors, and had equal advantages; but while the one was striving to lay up stores of mental and practical wealth, the other lay for hours on the banks of a stream waiting for a nibble, in a sort of dreamy trance, or dozed away the long hours which Providence has so kindly appropriated to the hoarding up of those treasures that no adversity can deprive us of-or, loitered about with a cigar or quid of tobacco in his mouth, by way of amusement. At twenty-one Thrifty married a neigh boring farmer's daughter, who loved him quite well enough to endure hardship and poverty with him, if need be, but neverthe less who possessed sufficient discernment to discover in him the germ which, once de veloped, would bloom with no ordinary beauty. On the fifty acre lot was built a snug little cottage, with four neat rooms, and a passage. It stood amid a cluster of water oaks, with a space at the back for a vegeta ble garden, and in a hollow at one side but a few paces from the neatly built gate, was a fine pure spring of water, rolling up through flint rocks, white as snow, while its accom panying rill murmured and bubbled onward through a thicket of willows to a neighboring stream on which stood a moss covered mill. By dint of hard work, a hopeful spirit and unwonted perseverance, a new-ground of a few acres was taken in, fences put in repair, a garden paled in and broke up, a spring house built below the flint rock fountain, and every thing else possible, conducive to the comfort of a small family. In the long win ter evenings when the toils of the day were over, the frugal but well-prepared repast finished, the table cleared and every thing put to rights, and Mary, seated with her I sewing at her nicely rubbed work-table, the book was brought with the mark in the place F at which it was left off the previous evening, and hour after hour passed profitably and pleasantly to each. Every thing prospered with farmer Thrif ty. His stock were well taken care of, con sequently looked well and repaid him for his pains. The neat little dairy which wvas built of logs with a dirt floor-for Trhrifty lived a distance from a saw muill-was neat ly sanded and the pine shelves as white as sand, soap and hard labour could get them. The wvater purled through a pebbled gutter down the centre, wvhere in warm weather the clean pans of rich milk were set. No onein the country had such delicious milk, cream and butter as Mrs. Thrifty. No one raised so much poultry or had such early vegetables. Neighbor Dolorous grumbled, and said it was willed so. That he was fated to be poor and Thrifty rich, and it was not worth while to strive against it. Thrifty thought a little energy and industry would change his neighbor's destiny, if he would put it into practice. If the seasons proved unfavorable, Thrifty worked the harder and hoped on. If a gleam of despondency ever shaded his brow the encouraging smiles and sympathies of his wife dispelled the gloom, and lie prayed to Heaven that he might be more thankful. Years went by-sons and daughters clus tered around the board-they wiere raised as their parents had been, with a firm re liance in Providence, and habits of thrift and- economy. William and Mary, the eld est Eon and daughter, healthy and beautiful children, soon began to assist father and mother ; there was no compulsion necessary; ; love was the watchword through the house hold, and through its heaven-born sway, each member was governed. A family of negroes had been purchased long ago by the surplus proceeds saved from the fruits of' their toil, wvhich had increased until a dozen in number-they were quite a little fortune. Several thousand dollars were invested in a safe institution to accumulate for the clii dren. Rooms had been added to the hnuse. It had been painted, and roses, jesamine and woodbine clambered lovingly over the porch and windows. The husband and father had in his leisure hours constructed a fanciful paling for the yard, and frames for the creepers in the part alloted for flowers. William loved to dig and prune, and the Iflower-garden was his peculiar care. Mary knit stockings for father and brothers, mind Ied the baby when its nurse wvas helping mother, kept little Annie out of mischief and accomplished quite as much as any little ten years old girl could. There were no Brus sels or other imported carpets on the floors of Spring Cottage, but in their place wvere those woven at home, filled wvith neatly joined woolen rags and yarn dyed in bright and substantial colors, which, though of homely pattern and appearance, still gaveo an air or neatness and comfort quite pleasant to see. The furniture wvas plain but nicely kept. Trhe curtains of plain coarse muslin, looped back with cords and tassels wrought by the house wife's skilful fingers, were white as a snowv drift, and were only rivalled by the luxurious beds and table linen in purity. Notwithstanding their less notable neigh bors, whether richer or poorer, laughed and sneered at the reading, the culture of flow ers and other recreations of the proprietors of SigCottage, it did'nt interfere. Far ..er.rtysu..sc..;bed Ishm-nily to neamnp. pers and other periodicals, and more tha that, had too high a sense of honor to fa indebted to those whose'efforts, mentally an physically, were tasked to cater to the it tellectual appetites. His success in IiJ did not deaden his sympathies towards h less fortunate fellow-beings ; but a ivillin hand was over extended towards the depet dant and needy. No object of charity evi passed his threshold unaided. The sic and afflicted were sure of hiskindness an assistance, and the week and erring of h pity and advise. The secret of Farmer Thrifty's success open to all, and though every man does n< succeed alike in lire, still there are none i our free and enlightened Republic, but I energy and industry, a determined will an thrifty habits, can live comfortably and it dependently. ROSE COTTAGE. TIIE HORSE. We continue this week, as promised i our last, the excellent lecture of Hon. ZI dock Pratt, on the Horse. His descriptio of the different breeds is very interestin Read the following extracts. I will now call your attention to differer varieties of horses in foreign countries, an in our own. The Egyptian horse is generally known b the name of the African barb. le exceec the Arabian in stature, and is principall remar'kable for the fulness and height of hi shoulders, and the drooping of his haunche Trhe most remarkable specimens of this trib are the celebrated " drinkers of the wind, They are wiry and fleshless, and shape something like the greyhound. It is relate of one of these horses, that he once pe formed a journey of sixty miles, in the ho test period of a burning African day, witi out the rider's drawing bridle, or allowin him to relax his speed a single instant, unt the journey was completed. The little Aft can kingdom of Donkala is celebrated for breed of horses of large size, which somn have considered as the handsomest in tE world. Every attempt to introduce thei into any other country has failed, howeve The celebrated Egyptian horses were al. ridden by the prophet Mahomet and his fo companions, on the night of their memor ble flight from Mecca, in the year 622, ar now known as the Hegira. The Arabian horses are small, only ave aging between thirteen and fourteen han< high, rather inclined to be lean, and in tra eling they rise higher from the ground the other blood horses, and gather more quickl They are generally of a dappled gray, i dark brown color, with a short black t and mane. They usually run wild, an even in that condition, they possess t greatest mildness and generosity of dispo tion. After they are domesticated, they a played with by the children, have the mo favored corner of the tent, and occupy deservedly high place in the affections the family. This affection seems to be r turned with more than, ordinary sagacit for it is authenticated that, the master bein in danger, the horse has put forth every pow to the utmost, and so strained his enduran that on reaching a place of safety he hi instantly yielded his life. They are usual captured by snares, hidden in the sand, L which the feet become entangled, and ti terrified animal, falling to the ground, is ma< an easy prey. T1heir amazing speed rende this the only method by which they can 1 taken. Tihe Persian horses resemble those Arabia in general appearance, though som what larger. TJhey are esteemed less high than the Arabian, though I think they ha some points of superiority. The horses of Tartary are exceeding swift, even outstripping the antelope ; thou1 here their resemblance to favorite bree ceases entirely. They are large and heaa headed, very low in the shoulder, awkward made, and very ill looking. When feedin one of their number is placed on an en nence as a sentinel, and on the approach danger ho starts off; the rest following Ii the wind. Tihe fabled flight of Mazepj lashed to the back of a w ild horse, is su posed to be among the wild herds of To tarv. In Turkey, horses are held in the highe esteem, which they well deserve,,being the most docile and affectionate dispositic They are the result of a cross between t African and Arabian, and are full of fire ai life3, with a light make, splendid head, at great powers of endurance. The tail of tl horse is considered an emblem of dignity Turkey, from the fact that a Turkish arm once lost its standard in battle, when ti leader, to inspire the drooping courage his men, cut off the tail of a horse, hoisti it on the end of a spear, and rallied his forc to victory. As a rnward he received mnilit ry promotion, the emblem of which was horse's tail. The rank of the owner known by the number of tails he is allowe the highest being three, and the officers a called " pachas of three tails." The genuine East Indian horse is of sm: value, owing to the unsuitable climate whii seems to be highly unlavorable to his it provement; and the pure native breed small, ugly and ill made, being equally de cient in form, spirit and endurance. I judicious and repeated crossings, and ti utmost care in obtaining health stock, species of horse has been introduced in the country, wvhich will compare favorab with any other. The greatest and mc continued pains are necessary, however, they will soon degenerate. The European horses will next engage oi attention. One of the most beautiful is tI Spanish, or Andalusian, which originatt from the Barbary horse, the only fault belr that the head is large in proportion to tI body ; the mane is thick, long and graceft the ears long, and the eyes very animate The Italian horses are very large and fine shaped; they were once highly esteeme but are nowv principally used for heavy ca airy. Danish and Swedish horses are stoe and wveil built, but slowv and inelegant. TI Dutch and Gernman horse is preferred thrc out Europe as a draught horse. The Ru: sian horse is large limbed and powerful, wil long stiff hair standing out from the bed; and is not very highly esteemed. The Frenc horses differ mu ch according to the portic of the country from whenice they come; ar the same may ho said of the English an American, to-which I shall now invite yet attention. I can find no mention made of horsesi England, prior to the Roman invasion b~ Julius Ceesar; and they are spoken of in h cmmentaries, in terms of high praise. 1 fact he esteemed them so highly, that 11 carried several specimens back to Remi where they and their progeny were in gren epute for many years. I think that the firn orses knowvn in England, were of a kin similar to the rough shelties of Scotlanc ad the mountain ponies of WVales and Cort wall, though they nnee of a larger, ize,,pr n bably owing to the more suitable climate of I England, and the better quality of the graz d ing 6elds. It is known that the little hardy, shaggy Scotch pony, -with poor fare and rigorous weather, will now increase much in e size and appearance under more favorable s circumstances. This original stock did not, however, produce the present race of horses in England, they having sprung from foreign horses, first introduced from Europe and Asia about the time of the crusade of King k Richard the Lion-Heated, and then by sev. d eral succeeding generations of English sov is ereigns. It is a matter of historical fact, that the is old Norman chivalry, after the conquest of England, always rode the horse, and never t the mare; and churchman, even of the high n est dignity, always rode the mare as a mark y of their humility. d The native English horses, even in the seventeenth century, were very small, though serviceable, and only commanding low prices. The best were only valued at about sixty shilings, or some fifteen dollars of our money.
