From the Farmer's Horticultural Gazette, There are certain principles which apply to the ftwflillg, of all animals, which we will briefly notice: 1. The breed is of great importance. A well bred animal not only affords less waste, but has the meat in the ri''!:t places, the ! fibre is tender and juicy and the fat is put on just where it is wanted. Coinptire the hind-leg of a full blooded Durham ox, and a common one. The bone at the base of the tail extends n.ueh farther in the former, affording more room for flesh, aud the thigh swells out, of convex or circular shape; while in the common ox it falls in. dishing I mid hollow. Now the round is the most ! valuable cut, and is only found in perfee- ! tion in high-bred stock. The same is the j ease over the whole body. Bo well do j Easti rn butchers understand this that their prices arc regulated by the breed, even ; v. hire two Huimals are equally fat. They ; know that in a Durham or Hereford u, not only will there be Incs offal in proportion to j weight, but the greatest quantity of meat will be where it brings the highest price 1 when retailed, sod will be of a richer Savor j and more tender fibre. The same is the case with hogs, A large bog may chance to make more meat on a given quantity of ftKr tillin a M1IUH om,, but the meat of the first )(r. Bfmne tast(.1( SS eompared M h fcTw aml , , . . . tenderness greatlv regulate prices, t onse- I V"? moderate ?led, sbort-leggfcd, SmaU I headed hogs, always in the long run, beat ; i i i r . w . ! i:r-re nreii s mil m I ivoi. i l ore rni'r ,,,. tailor. This one fact i at present, ! MVJnttmiivIni ttwi T'' ii tr '. km il lit slwin. m . . , B , i , e n i Be aristoeraev always paiu uignivT wwii ' Welch and Scotch mutton; but the great consumers, the mechanics, preferred large j tmi joints. The taste is now chanced. In i Manchester and other such cities, these! , joiuts bave become unsaleable; and 1 ftU, he efforts of the breeder are now turned toward8 m.tls innmrillt? (,I!rIv, with com- I Vlt,u, t-t 'A,.,.(,:,inf, to u ! !. f. . T . , : . , , writers, the large Leicester and Uotswoias e going quite out of fashion. When we , B e 1 ' give three Uwnsand dollars for a Durham ; bull it is not that his progeny are "intriu i sically " more valuable to that amount, but . the increased value and the fashion together i . sicaiiv more vaiuaoie to inai nniuuiii, our . . . , Biae ap the difference And it is thus that while Dnrhams aud Herefords are preferred fo "hqw and packing, Devons are high in "v. - i - , j...,.!.,. stock: and the proportionate waste is said to be h ss than in any other breed. Thus in the London market, the Kyloes. and then the Devons, (the former even smaller than the hitter,) brings the highest price, because preferred by the aristocracy. So in Dublin, spayed heifers are sought for. ut the breed also regulates the profit. There is nothing more certain than that one kind of animal will fatten to a given point on much less food than another; and as fattening our stock is only another mode of selling our grain and grass, those animals are to be preferred which come to maturity soonest, and fatten on the least food. The differ ence in hogs is very great and important. While some breeds must be fed for two or three winters, others are full grown and fattened ut ten months old; and the differ ence in profits is enormous. We cannot ! go into particulars, but the following rules inny be considered as applying to all. An .........i ,miv be exweetod to fatten easily wlu.n Jt ,1HJ fine nul fnu, soft ttW M mr the head imd , , , , , , , . lejrs short, the "barrel lare, but chest to d lungs snu.ll ; and when it is auk, sleepy , ns.v iu temper. An unquiet, restless, quiektempered animal is generally a bud i teeder, :ind unprofitable. J. Much depends in fattening on outward and inetdianieal nianageiiient. Fat scarbon, or t,u' 0,,,,, whkh "fP1 thc with I' It we are exposed to cold, it is burnt " r lungs as fast as it is deposited by the blood; but if we are kept warm by shelter or clothimr, it is deposited through out the body, as a supply on hand when needed. Warm stables and pens tire a great assist;: nee in fattening, and should never i be neglected. So, also, quiet and peaceful -uess are important. Every excited action consumes some part of the body which has to In-sup; lied by the food, and detracts from the fat, In the climate of Michigan, warm stables, regular feeding at fixed hours, and kind treatment, with perfect clcanliucs? i save nianv a bushel of Animals ,- i i i i,-d t brregoUr bnea are always uneasv ; and fretting. I 9 (:,.,alid .d eookod fo.,d f:.ttP,. ,,!, 3. (Jround and cooked food fatteu much ! more profitably than raw food. Mr. Elh- Thus, an ox fed entirely on corn and hnv 1 ... . r will not fatten ns tast or as well ns al ',ns Wtei pumpkins, ground oats or ; buck-wheat, Arc., fed to it at regular period; The latter may contain intrinsically les; nourishing matter than the corn, but the j change produces some unknown eilect on I the stomach and system, that adds to the capability of depositing fat. The best feeders change the food very frequently, ; ami aa tnat tney make a IMMN pronr :y SO doing. Salt should be ri eu with every ;' meal to cattle snv an nunc a dav. it i preserves the appetite and prevents torpor ot the liver, to which ull fattening animals are subject. This torpor, or diiease, is, to a certain extent, conducive tq fat; but carried too far the animal sinks under it 5. In cattle the skin .should be particularly attended to. A fat animal is in an unnatural state, and consequently easily subject to disease. Taking n exercise, it has not its usual power of throwing off poison? out of the rstem : and if the skin is foul, the i whole labor is thrown on the kiduevs. It h f"d v experience that oxen, regularly curried and cleaned daily, fatten better and faster than when left to themselves; aud if the legs are pasti d w ith dung, as is too often (he case, it seriously injures the animal. (i. Too much rich food is injurious, The stomach can only assimilate a certain quan titv at once. Thus an ox will prosper better on thirty pounds of corn aud thirty pounds of cob ground together daily, than on forty pounds of ground corn. These mixtures tire also valuable and saving of cost for hogs when first put in the pen. If an animal loses its appetite, the food should at once be changed, and, if possible, roots, pumpkins, or steamed hay may be given. 7. Oxen will fatten better if the hay or stalks are cot for tliein, but care must be taken not to cut too short. An inch in length is about the right size for oxen, half or three-quarters of an inch for horses. S. L. DoWELL. 01 Geortrta. R. A. Rooms, of Alabama. W. D. D.JWELL oi Florida.
