FODDER FOR Mich Cows.-fn Decom-
be COWS that arc in milk should not be fed
with poor hay, it is better to reserve Lat
till the coolest Of the weather, and feed
them now on something that is more succu-
lent. Husks that have been seasnnably Sc
ured are Letter fodder, nj this season, than
merchantable hay; and they give better
taste 10 the milk.
Cows that arc TO give milk through tho
winter must have potatoes or some kind of
roots. A ltitle meal and water win also
be found useful, but il is not advisable TO
feed cows high with any kind Of graln.--.
We have not yet made experiments enough
to determine how much grain a COW will
bear without injury. We are told that the
celebrate Oaks cows eat half peck Of
meal per day, but after couple of years
Of such high feeding she fell off and be-
came worthless for milk.
Cora tops should be used in the fore
par, Of winter. as they are worth more
than in the spring Your fiat iurn'ps also
should be used now, while hey are worth
something. You will not want these to in
crease the quantity Of milk in milk cow.
for she will need something 10 strengthen
her and to improve the quality rather
than to increase the quantity of Ter milk.

PRAIRIE AND MOUNTAIN LIFE.

OREGoN EMrGRANTs.-D our de.
tention among the settlements, before start
ing out, constant source Of interest to us
was the gathering Of people bound to Ore
gon. One Sunday morning, about the usu-
al church hour in larger place, five or
six wagons passed through the town of
Westport, and one old man with silver
hair, was with the party. Women and
children were walking; fathers and bro.
theirs were driving loose cattle o. manag-
ing heavy teams; and keen eyed young
sters with their chins yet smooth, and RI
files on their shoulders, kept in advance of
the wagons with long strides, looking as if
they were already watching around the
corners for game. There was one striking
feature about this party which leads us to
name it more particularly. Though trav.
cling on the Sabbath, and through the lit
tie town that was all quiet and resting from
business in reverence Of the day, there was
that IN the appearance of the people that
proclamation. They were all clean and ev.
identity apparalled in their best Sunday
gear. Their countenances were sedate.
and the women wore the mild composure
of visage-so pleasantly resigned-so elo-
quent of calm spirit-so read 10 kindIe up
into smiles-that is seen more often among
church goers, perhaps, than in ballroom
or boudoir. Some Of the women carried
books, and the pre;tiest girl held hers open
before her, as she stepped little coquet-
tishly through the dust of the road. Whe-
Their she was reading, or trying, or .preten-l
ling to read, it was hard TO tell, but the
action had a naire effect, and as she pass
ed, she was. no doubt, much astonished at
strange young gentleman, who audibIy
addressed her with
"Nyml ia, in thy prisons, be all my sins remem-
beredl''

turous travellers crossed our notice at indie

about the 1st Of June. The Oregonan.1
were assembled here TO the number Of six
or eight hundred; and when we passed
their encampment, their were engaged 10
the business Of eleciing officers to regulate

curious and unacouniatle spectacle to US.

The PRAYER OF MlsER.-Among
many curious papers found after the de-
cease Of Jnhn Ward member of the
British Parliament for Hackney, there
was one 10 his own handw riting, Of which
the following is copy. It is an admira-
bic satire, aud we commend il to certain
persons who must be nameless:
'Oh Lord, thou knowes, tina, have nine
houses in the city OF London. and likewise
that have purchased an estate in fee
simple in the county Of Essex; bcscech
thee TO preserve the counties of Middle
sex and Essex from fire and earthquakes:
and as have mortgage in Hertfordshire.
beg of thee likewise 10 have an eve Of
compassion on that county; and as for the
ether counties thou mays't deal as YOU
please. Oh Lord. enable the banks to
answer all their bills, and made all nv
d'b,ors good men. Give a prosperous
voyage and return TO the Mermaid sloop.

More Protection Needed. We fns HE
following, under the Commercial head OF
the Rochester Democra, OF Monday:
"a large proportion of the loose capital
on deposit in the Boston Banks, is derived
from the Fat dividends declared by their
cotton factories, insurance companies and
other corporations, within three or four
months. For instance, the Merrimack
company made dividend Of ten per cent
for six months, on its great capital o.
$1,000, 000-and other Lowell companies
either have made, or soon will make divi-
dends of five or six per cent for the same
time. Then il we estimate The amount of
money paid out by insurance companies in
their receut semi-annual dividends of five
to twenty per cent, we have in all very
large aggregate.
All the usual channels Of investment are
full TO overlooking, and the distate Of our
capitalists to mortgages, the result is an
overflow of deposits in banks. The Bos.
ton Bank, in its last return, lad over a
million OF deposits against six hundred
thousand capital. OF course the earnings
of seven per cent. dividends and a surplus
beside, by this institution, and ,me two or
three others, equally fa"ored, is easily ac-
counted for"
Thus il appears that while the wages of
the laborer are not increased, but have in
many instances been reduced by these cor.
porations since the tariff laws went into on
Grafton, the Boston Banks are OVERLOOKING
with" the fat dividends " which the favor
ed men Of capital have been enabled 10 de
clare under the auspices Of protective laws
The truth then, Of the position that these
laws inure to the benefit Of capital invested
IN those branches of business upon which
they operate. and not to the general good.
is here fully shown by the supporters Of
the unjust and unequal system. During
the past year, there have been frequent re-
duc,ion Of the wages of the laborers a,
Lowell, and yet the Merrimack company
d" has made a dividend Of ten per cent. for
six months. upon its great capital of
ST 200, 900. THAT is the stockholders in
this company have divided among them
selves ,000-being the nett profits O
their operations for one half Of year.
The political advocates Of a tariff appeal tc
the mechanics. laborers and agriculturist,
to support their favorite measure. They
urge upon these classes, that tariff laws
will cause an advancement in their wages
and an increase in their profits. But here
we have something that is tangible upon
this point. We find manufacturing CAPT
talists making large and Unprecedented div
fidends in their business, aided by partia
laws, in city where the wages of the op
eratives ia the factories have been reduce
