Copy Ola letter from the Rev. William N Sen
dree, Senior Bishop of the Me,hodis, Epis-
copal Church of the United States, To the
Rev. Thomas F. Sargent, NJ. D. President
Of the Missionary Society Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, within the bounds OF the
Philadelphia Conference.
Req. and Dear Sir,
Believing that could render more
effectual service by visiting the frontier
settlements in The West, especially the
Indian Mission, than could be done by
continuing my tour 10 the North, as was
contemplated, changed my plan accor
dinghy, aud as | had no one TO travel
with me, | reluctantly declifed visiting
the Philadelphia Conference, in orIer to
obtain the company OF Preachers going
aver he mountains.

horse; but Brother John Davenport, OF
Bonneville, a FREUD Of the Mission, and
DESTROYS that | should visit it, not only
loaned me a horse, bat left his business
look The expense of the journey on him
self, aud accompanied me there and
back TO New Lancaster, which took US
three weeks.
Oar Mission is established near Up
per Sandusky, in the WyaDdot Rcserya-
lion, containing l46,2l6 acres OF land,
being about l6 miles long by IL wide
which, with small reserve of l6 or
1900 acres adjoining, is all the soil this
unfortunate people claim of their former
large possessions. The Mission is about
65 or 70 miles, nearly due north, from
Columbus. the seat of government OF
the STATE. From Columbus to the old
boundary line, about half way, the coun-
try is handsomely improved. From
thence to the Wyandot Reserve line,
within 6 or miles of the mission, as
the lands have been but lately surveyed
and brought into market, the population
is thinly scattered, but said to be settling
very fast. The land is very fertile, some
tracts beautiful. In the route we passed
over the celebrated plans of Sandusky.
The weather was sultry was afllic,-
ed, and in consequence was very much
faligued. However, we arrived safe on
Saturday, the 2lst OF June, about 10
O'Clock IN the morning, and found the
Mission family and the School all in
good health.
In the afternoon we commenced visit
ing the schools, AID repeated the visits
as we were able, during our stay, which
was about FIVE days. In that time we
had sufficien, opportunities Of observing

Au&kCUAYU NAA.

To the Editor of the American Farmer.
SIR,
You gave a satisfactory proof of the
interest you take in the plantation OF
Forest Trees, by adding to my commu
nica,ion on that subject, some directions
ior@raising the oak; but Chestnut is
scarcely less valuable, and | apprehend,
we have in this part of the country, at
least, more lands laying waste, suitable
for this las, kind Of timber, than for oaks.
Permit me therefore, to call the at
ten,ion of gentlemen possessing old and
worn out tobacco Ids, or billy, washed
and barren old fields uni for any other
culture, to the chestnut, which may now
be gathered in abundance IN almost every
neighborhood. These may be planted
al any time between this and March or
April, either in the burr or without /;
and any quantity, no mater il but hun.
dred, TO some advantage, even without
great preparation. Let those who can
do no more, take strong hoe and loosen
the earth FIVE Or six inches dep and ten
or twelve wide, in different parts of such
Old fields. scattered promiseuously and
not in rows; cover the nut about four
inches, with the bcs, mould at hand, and
then few small branches of furze or
briers. 1t is supposed that if one cot Of
the hundred should succeed, the planler
will be amply rewarded for bis trouble,
whilst this kind Of timber is SO valuable
in making fences. II such experiments
should succeed in few instances only,
there will be encourap ement TO repeat
and extend the planting annually, so that
bv dasrees, MANY farmers short Of TIM
Der for rails now, may be abundoni!y
provided in toe course OF few years.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS w. GRIFFITH.

ON THE MANAGEMENT OF COWS.
By RUSSELL WOODWARD, Of Suffolk.
Having formerly kept large number
of cows, observed many amongst th.m
that dried up their milk so early in the
fall, that they were not prof able, while
others, with the same keeping, gave
Elilk in plenty until late in the season.
/ likewise have often heard my neigh.
bors observe, that some Of their COWS,
though very good IN The fore part OF the
season, dried up of their milk SO early
that they were Improbable, and they
should have TO put them off; | acc0r-
dinghy found it expedlent to fiasou, the
cause if possible: and ~nen l brought
to mind the ways that some Of my young
cows had been kept and MIXED, attn
buted the cause to the milking of them
the first season they gave milk; and by
many experiments since, have found
that young cows, the first year toey give
milk, may be made, with careful mix
ing and good keeping, to give milk al
most any length of time required, say
from the frs, of May to he first Of Fee
brnary following, and will give milk
late always afier, w.tn careful milking.
But if they are left to dry up oftheir milk
carly in the fall, they will be sure to dry
up their milk each proceeding year, il
they have calf near the same season OF
the yesr; and nothing but extraordinary
keeping will prevent it, and that bu, for
a short time. | have had them dried
up of their milk in August, and could
not by any means make them give milk
much past that time in any proceeding
year. In 1920, l had two heifers, which
had calves in April, and after getting
them gentle, set boy to milk then,
for the season, (Which is often done the
first season on account of their having
small teats J he was careless, and dried
them both off in August. Although |
felt satisfied should lose the greater
part of the profit Of them afterwards, YET
| took it upon me the following year to
milk them myself, and give them good
feed, but to no purpose. could moi
make them give milk much past the
same time they dried the year before. !
have two cows now that were MIXED
the first year they had calves, until near
the time of their calving again, and have
continued to give milk as late ever since
as we will milk them.
