Reduction of Postage.-We readily con

Rsductioa Of Postage.-We readily com.
ply with a request to give circula ton to the
following COMMUNICATION. The example
which has been set by the British Govern
mont, of reducing the postage on letters to
a very low rate, and thereby increasing the
utility Of the Post Office Department, is we'll
deserving of imitation in this country. The
rates of postage, especially on the most fire.
quentsd routes, where the number OF letters
is great, and the produce immense, are most
unrsasonably high. There is little doubt
that the rates might be much reduced, with,
out causing any reduction Of the amount OF
income. Ifsueh be tho fact, it calls most
emphatically on Congress to make the reduc,
ton, and taextend she Accommodation. II

ed bv taxation, direct and indirect, is want.
ed to carry on the Government. the Parlia-
ment has reduced the Postage all over the
kingdom, to one penny on every letter not
exceeding half an ounce in weight. The
Government has yielded to the wishes and
petitions Of the whole people, but not till it
was reasonably proved that the revenue
would b. as great with a low as with a high
rate of Postage. The a Of our people
for a cheap communication through the mails
are rs great as those OF the people OF Eng
land. Our condition, bwe :er, is different,
owing 10 the greater extent of our territory.
But If the English postage can safely be re
iuced to one penny, is itlot probable that
Ours can be reduced to two cents, five cents,
and ten cents, according to the distance
which the mail has to be c,rried. The ad-
vantage OF such reduction ar apparent to ev-
cry man, woman and child, who has inter-

SUGAR BEET FOR MICH COWS.

Antntelligent gentleman from the eastward,
assured US few days ago, that by giving
his COWS peck of sugar beet twice day,
cut up with their hay, he was enabled to
get lust as rich milk and butter during the
winter, as in summer, when the pasture
was at its best. Now as an acre of ground
vel manured, planted in this root, and
well attended, would yield beets enough to
keep ten cowS, from the lst Of November
till the 1st of May, should not every farmer
make his arrangements for planting beets
mex. spring. From our own experience,
we have no doubt, that this addition of beets
to the ordinary feed Of the cows, would
make weekly difference of2 lbs. each in
their product of butter. From the Is: Of
November to the lst OF May, there are 26
weeks. This number of weeks at 2 lbs.
additional butter, would give So lbs. for
each COW during The period named, or 500
lbs. for the 10 cows, and if we set down
the butter as being worth % cents per h.,
it will give US $3.50, as the value Of addi.
tional yield brough; by the feeding with The
product Of an acre in bcets. But this is
not all.-the proprietor Of The COWS, in the
spring, would have the qualification TO
know that he had treated his animals well,
and lIe satisfaction of seeing them in good
condlion.-Furmer 8. Gardener.

SILK CULTURE.

1t is surprising that more of our people
do not engage in the Silk Culture, and it
can only be accounted for on the ground
that they are already proftably engaged
in some other business, or else will not take
pains to inform themselves Of the simple
profitable manner in which this new busi-
ness may be conducted. We saw on We'd.
nesday, at the house of MIR. Jashua Toppan,
in Marlborough street several thousand
silk worms, who have been buslly employ
ed all this week in spinning their cccoons:
A considerable quantity ofthe silk, reeled
last season, was also shown US by the lady
of Mr.. Toppan, on which a premium was
obtained at the exhibition Of manufactures
last year, and it was truly beautiful article.
This silk was all the produce Of the white
mulberry, except small portion, which
was easily distinguished bya wire feeling
and which was the produce ofthc common
black mulberry. This last is no douO
quite as good for sewing silk as any other
but probably could not to so good ad'a''
tagc be applied to any other purpose
