AGRICULTURAL.

Domestic EconOmy.-Thc Value Of Cow.
If the views of people may be judged of
by their practices, there is numerous class
who make no proper estimate Of the value
of COW, compared with other means of
living; and a more numerous class who
have not learned the difference between
good cow and poor one, or between a su-
perior one and an ordinary one. For those
who hire their cows kept, it will cost little
or nothing more to keep one that will give
40 pounds Of milk day, during the best of
the season, than another that will give only
.e0pounds. Then, again, it is as important
to have reference to the quality Of the milk
as 10 the qaantity. And the cow that gives
the smallest quantity does not always give
the best quality.
Bat II was our design, on taking up the
pen at this time, 10 show poor men who
have not land Of their own, the economy of
keeping one or more cows, according to the
size Of their families. Good economy re-
qnires at least one good cow to every five
persons. And il would not be bad economy
for family Of only five persons to keeptwo,
one for summer, the other for winter. A
COW that comes in in November, is worth as
much as the one of equal quality that comes
in in March.
Now for the value of COW. As much
milk rs is needed for the use of the family
and this, In our view, is much more than is
commonly used-is worth, in these times,
Scents quart, the year through, better than
bread-stuffs and flesh meat-especially the
latter-are worth what they cost. Set it
down at cents. A good COW will give, on
an average, 8 quarts a day, through the year.
Some will gives quarts. Set il down at 6
quarts. Here then are the data, if the esti-
matesare not too high, and we think they
are not. Now multiply 365 days by 8, and
ifshows.the number Of quarts for the year
. pe slsO. This number multiplied by 3
shows the, worth Of the milk to be $3.50,
Subtract S25, Cor the cost of keeping. and
there remains $4o,7O. To those who cpt
hay for share, the cost of keeping Is NOT
more than, $40. From the S4o,7O make
every other possible subtraction the ca a.
will admit, and the money invested will re-
turn more than 100 per cent. interest.

To mock the woe Of Aries bleeding sons;
To freshly point the reeking dagger to my heart
That am doOm'd sIave

No more to feel thelrankling sting Of scorn,
And hide the past heath clods Of deep forgetful-

OF Enlightened years Of woe--in hollow tones
Reheane the ghosty tale, revive each livid stain,
And drag Il up, bleeding fresh with clotted gore,

KEEP YOUR HOES SHARP.-Verv like
ly your grandfather never heard of such
thing as grinding hoe; but no matter,
try it for yourself and see if a sharp hoe
does not work as much easier as a sharp
axe. You would think yourself poorly
provided for moving, without a rub stone
or rife; and file for sharpening hoe,
is as necessary in a field Of corn, as the
former implements are in a meadow

with hay, 5 bushels of Ruta Baga are
equal to bushel of meal ..'
A. What kind of stock is best and most
profitable to feed them to-
A. All kinds: horses and swine not
excepted. lfthey refuse them at first, let
them become hungry, and they will soon
eat them we'll. l have wintered swine on
them, in q, raw state They are worth
for them certainly as much as potatoes
and are most excellent for sheep.
What is the cost to raise them, per
bushel compared with potatoes2
A. Much less: as they yield much
more on a given quantity of land; their
seed and planting cost less their hoeing
more; and their leaves pay the harvesting.
Are they not more exhausting to the
land than potatoes, or most other crops!
A. They are: as much more weight
is taken from the soil than by most other
crops. l think no one ought to object to
having large crop, because it takes more
from the soil than an inferior one but it
should be known that Indian corn will not
grow well the next year after large crop

How TO CURE THE HARD TINES
We are extremely grati6ed to witness the
facility with which our people accommo-
date themselves to the times.
We have &c shoe shops in the village
of our residence in Bradford; they were
slowed full Of men and BOYS, and the
sound of the hammer was incessant last
winter, from daylight till ten at night
A few weeks since, the whole system of
shoe business was deranged; instead of
press for hands, there was little employ
ment and less pay. Our people walked
the streets, talked politics, and played ball
a few days, to prepare their limbs and
bodies for other operations, and then took
10 farming and gardening, with an indus
try truly amusing and praise-worthy.-
Lots of land are procured by almost every
mechanic who has a family, the door
yards and out-houses are searched for
manure, and every pleasant day, the fields
are all alive with cheerful laborers.
We ascertained few days since, that
one small farm of 18 or 90 acres, which
was let out this spring, had 10 occu pants
many other fields are let in pieces, and
we doubt not the next autumn will witness
the owners out of the reach of specula-
tors in grain and -four. Our other villa
ges are pursuing a similar course. It's
hard job to starve yankee, unless YOU
catch him unawares.- HooerhiU Gaz,
