COOKING Corn MEAL AND CoRN FOR
Hoes. No safer position we think can be as
sumed, in the economy Of stock Needing, than
that quantity as well as nutriment is essential
to their preservation in perfectly healthy con-
dition. II we admit the correctness OF this po-
sidon, and few facts are more clearly obvious,
then it results as an inevitable inference that
meal, and not only meal but corn, should be
cooked before being fed. Corn, by being boiled
or steamed is increased in bulk nearly two hun
bred per cent, while meal is increased, by the
same process, more than three hundred and hfty
per cant. To place this subject in position
more easily comprehensive, one bushel of corn,
after being steamed or boiled, will measure three
bushels To cook bushel Of meal, five bushels
OF water are required, that every pound of
meal will give very nearly four and half lbs.
of mush with a volume correspondingly increased.

The RanCherOS,

1t will have been observed, in the several
statements that have from time to time been put
forth, relative to tue material of the Mexican
armies, and more particularly the one which the
American troops recently encountered, that men
ton is made of description of troops called
RncheroS. This is an appellation derived
from their occupation and mode of life, and is
on the pampas of South America, Half Indl-
an and half Spanish in their extraction, gaunt,
shriyclled though muscular in their frames, and
dark and swarthy visaged as they are, these
men are the Arabs Of the American continent.
Living half the time in the saddle, (for they are
unriyalled horsemon, with lasso in hand, they
traverse those vast plains in search of the buff
falo and wild horse, who roam them in countless
herds. The killing Of these animals, and, the
preparation and sale of their hides, is their sole
means of livelihood, other than occasionally
lending helping hand to some of the partisans
la the civil wars that are continually being wa
ged around. Their costume generally consists
of a pair of tough hide leggns, with sandals OF
the same material, bound together with leathern
thongs, over which is blanket with hole in
the centre, large enough to allow the head to be
thrust out, and which falls not ungracefulIy over
their shoulders, leaving ample room for the play
Of their arms. Add TO this broad straw SOM
brerO, and the lasso hanging ready for use in his
girde, and you have the KanchcrO as he appears
in the time of peace, or in the pursuit of his
occupation. JON to this long lance, with a
sharp spear head ornamented with a strip of red
bunting, on horse as savage and unmanageabe
as himself, and his belt plentfully supplied with
pistols and knives, and you have the RanchcrO
as member of troop of banditti, or as a SOL
der in body of cavalry.
CowardIy as they generally are in the open
field, yet in conflict among the chaparrals OF
Mexico, in an ambuscade, they are indeed for
midable enemy. Their power of enduring ia
tigue is almost inexhaustible, and scanty me al
per diem of jerked beef and paintain suflices
them during months
Such are the RdncherOs; and, under disci-
plned control, they would be rendered the best
light troops in the world. These are the men
who comprise the great body of the Mexican
cavalry and they are to the armies of that nation
what the Cossacks are to the Russians-ever on
the alert, never to be surprised, and untring in
pursuit of the foe, when plumber, no matter how
trillng, is to be obtained.

was not given. Woman's ready wit saved him.

The maniac was disarmed and burst into
laugh. For some days he was sober 1t was
in one of these seasons of mania, confined in
his plank cage, that he uttered the cries with
which began my tale. o, they ring in my
ears now! Such unearthly sounds | never
heard, save perhaps a like scene in hospital.
Redeemed from his last Imprisonment, he
took bottle, walked some ten miles, filled it
with brandy, and came home sober. His family
trembled at what might follow; but the bottle
was placed on the window sill and there remain
ed, days, weeks months and years untouched
He never tasted alcohol again. Some change
had come over his spirit. No longer protane or
passionate, or wild, he seemed to be melancholy.
Perfectly harmless, every one pitied and was
kind to him. He would enter the houses of his
neighbors, sit silent for hours, hardly replying
simple yes or no to their questions, and then
walk away Sometimes for days he was absent
from home entirely.
His once clear intellect seemed paralyzed.-
If he had thoughts, none knew them; none could
draw him into conversation.
Though still young his head was white, his
frame bent, his steps feeble. Most of the time
he walked about the town and those adjoining it.,
traversing every bye road even, both in the heats
Of summer, and the severest cold Of winter
If he had any object, none could learn it, for he
was silent.
| One summer, he took a fancy to collect all
the thistle down, in every part of the country for
fifteen miles around to make bed. This was
the first thing like employment in which he en-
gaged-the first indication of returning reason.
Gradually in the course of years, the employ
mens of the farm were resumed and he be-
came more social; kind he never ceased to be,
save in his hours of mania,
After the lapse Of fifteen years, he is indeed
restored to society, useful loved, and respected
But where is the promise of his YOUTH Where
the wasted years! Where the blighted afIec-
lions of early life! Where the hopes of his
manhood! PrematureIy old, life over almost
before he entered on it, he cannot again reach
the stations of honor and usefulness once so ca
silly grasped.
Jane is still unmarried She will die So
Her life, doubtless, had its trials the heart
