WINTERING STOCK.


Much of the profits of rearing cattle de- p
pends upon the manner of keeping them
through winter. If they arc suffered to
lose flesh during the cold season, and
turnout to pasture "spring poor, " it takes
long time to regain what they have
lost. With the best quality of early cut
and well made English hay, with regular
and judicious feeding, and comfortable
quarters, stock of cattle from the old
est to the youngest, may be made to
thrive all winter to gain size and flesh;
with a small allowance of meal, potatoes
turnips or other roots, they would do
still better. = .sa
Our horses, and cattle, and sheep,
were originally constituted to subsist the
year round on green succulent food -.5',
By domestication, they have been
gradually introduced from warm, toG
cold climate of the north, where, as with
US, they generally have to be fed on dry
forage for six months or more, every
year. This in some degree, has placed
them in an unnatural condition, and il
is strong argument in favor of q more
extensive root culture among US, for feed
ing purposes. z--o I'd.
Most farmers have more or less coarse
fodder, such as poor hay, corn fodder
straw DC. And m&uy commence feeding
their cattle exclusively on these the first
part of the winter, or till it il used up.

ally-but fed entirely on such fodder,
the first half of the winter, they lose
flesh, and will be apt to come out in the
spring in poor condition, in spite of En-
glish hay. -..,t
Corn fodder is as nutritious as COM
mon stack hay when fed in connection
with it, but to compel cattle to live on
such fare for weeks together, is, as some
one said, absolutely cruel, as it makes
their teeth sore when fed for a length of
time" A better way is to give cattle
one fodder of corn butts, and that at the
last feeding at night, and if they have 9
pretty stout allowance given them, they
will eat it nearly clean before morning

Cattle, to do well, must have drink as

grain quite whole. Be very careful to
keep sufficient water in the kettle to pre-
vent the mass from sticking, or it will
burn. When done, all the water will

Mr.. NJ. KELLY stated at the Pomologi-

the vicinity Of Cincinnati had tried the
following recipe for preventing the des-

great success. 1t is also an effectual
remedy for mildew on grapes 4

WINTER GRAPEs.-The editor of the
Prairie Farmer says that he actually
partook, on the 14th of last June, of
grapes which had been packed away

being put in the bottom of the box, then
a layer of grapes placed SO as not to

Morn eaEleth fondly to fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows, rich with clover dew;
She cals-but he still thinks Of naught save playing,
And so she smiles and waves him an adieu!
Whilst he, still merry with his fowery store,
Deems not that morn. sweet morn, returns no more.
Nocx e0zeth-but the boy to manhood growing,
Heeds not the tine-he sees but one sweet FORM
One young fair face from bower Of jasmine glowing
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.

And man forgets that noon returns no more

By which a gray-haired nan is sadly dreaming
OF pleasures gone all lfe's pleasures go.
Night calls him to her, and he leaves his door,
Silent and dark-and he returns no more

THE PEOPLES ADVENT.
BY GERALD MASSEY.

'Tis coming up the steep Of Time,
And this old world is growing brighter
We may not see its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart throb lighter,
We may be sleeping in the ground,
When it avakes the world in wonder;
Bat we have felt it gathering round
And heard its voice Of living thunder.
'Tis coming yes, 'tis coming!
'Tis coming now, the glorious time,
Forstold by seers, and song in story
For which, when thinking vas crime,
Souls lesped to heaven from scaffOlds CORY
They passed, nor see the work they wrought,
Now the crowned hopes of centuries blossom
But the live lightning Of their thought,
And daring deeds, doth pulse Earth's bosom.
'TiI coming yes, It's coming
creeds, Empires, Systems, rot with age,
But the great Peoples ever youthful
And it shall write the Futures page,
To our humanity more truthful
The gn2rliest heart has tender chords.

And time comes when brain scorpion words
We shall not speak to sting each other.
'Tis coming yes, It's coming!
Out Of the light, We priests, nor fling
Your dark, cold shadows on US longer
Aside thou wcrld-wi curse, called King
The Peoples step is quicker, stronger:
There's Diviaity within
That makes men great, whene'erth they win it;
Tod WOrkS Win All VINO Oare 70
And the time cometh to reveal it.
'Tis coming yes, tits coming!
Freedom the tyrants kin thy braves
Yet in our memories live the sleepers,
Though murdered millions feed the graves,
Dug by Deaths fierce, red-handed reapers
The world shall not forever bow
To things which mock Gods own endeavor 5
It's nearer than they wOt Of now,
When flowers shall wreathe the sword forever.

Only Twenty Dnysi

But twenty working days remain to prepare
for the election in Virginia. We cannot, there
fore, too earnestly exhort our friends in that
State to DO up and doing to perfect their Or
ganization--to canvass every election district
Thoroughbred to adopt the most effectual
means to secure the attendance at the polls Of
every voter, however aged or infirm.
The Virginia election is attracting the atten-
ton of the whole nation. Upon It's result, mo-
mentous consequences depend. If Virginia
shall, on the Gath Of May, declare for the Anne
rican party, the ascendency Of that party in
the South is thenceforth established. With
Virginia gallantly leading the van, North Car
DINA, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, and Kentucky, will inevitably plant
themselves upon the American platform.
Not for Virginia alone, therefore, is the great
battle Of the oath of May to be fought, but for
all her sister States, from the Roanoke to the
Colorado. Throughout that vast extent Of
territory, along the shores of the Atlantic and
the Gulf Of Mexico, on the eastern and western
slopes of the Alleghanies, and in the valleys Of
the Mississippi, the voice which Virginia is to
send forth on that day, is listened for with an
intenseness of anxiety altogether unprecedent-
ed. As in the days Of Seventy-six, the-eyes
of the whole South were directed to Virginia, to
see what side Of the contest she would espouse,
80 now, in the present revolution, the Old Do
minion is again the object Of the deepest solicit
tude.
Let, then, Virginians do their duty. A
heavy responsibility rests upon them. If they
fail, the disastrous consequences to the Ameri-
can party and the country, can hardly be pre-
dicted.
If they triumph, the question Of American
ascendency is settled at once, and the way
open to the Presidency for whomever the Ameri-
can party may nominate.

The Portsmouth Globe.

We understand that this tri-weekly sheet
which went out of existence sometime ago, has
been resuscitated by the contributions of Office
holders and the various party cliques in the re-
gion of Portsmouth, Virginia We had occa-
sion to notice it few days ago in an article, to
which it takes exception, and it seems to have
been wounded and panied because we charac-
terised its party as an abolition favoring par
ty." Our authority for this allusion may be
found in that paper Of 81st March last. In its
issue Of that date it parades before its readers
communication purporting to be from cor
respondent who gave his reasons for withdraw
ing from the " American party" Among the
reasons assigned was the following, to wit:
The tendency Of the new party is to create a
difference between the laboring and produ-
cling classes, and the capitalists and particularly
at the South to keep up the supply Of slape-la5or
to the detriment Of white, and thereby cheaper
the value Of the latter, and instead of improving
the condition Of the white laboring and mechanical
classes will ultimately tend to their decadence and
injury. This may not appear so clear to all, but
have only TO refer to the principles which regulate
supply and demand, a. guide and the results of
foreign labor being introduced into our northern
working classes are there to what they are In the
South"
Such language we characterized as abolition
avoring' doctrine. The Globe endorsed the
views of its correspondent. 1t said:
To say that 1t is logical, perspicuous, and
argumentative, would be saying too little
that "if is the clear and expressive language
Of ons who cannot find it consistent with con-
science and judgment to believe 1t is right to
remain in any such order"-thdt at is calm
and dispassionate throughout, tempered with
lucid reasoning and logical and impressive ar
gumentation." Now, we shall not discuss this
doctrine thus published approvingly by the
Globe, because we discuss nothing which in
wolves the merits or dement's Of slavery; but
we may be allowed to say, that the doctrine
above promulgated is the same doctrine taught
by Seward, Greeley, and Faulkner. The pub
lie may judge whether our charges were "base
charges"
IL we have offended the sensitiveness Of the
Globe, by charging upon il, that it is an "abo-
lition favoring" sheet we hope the above quo
tations from its columns will operate. as &C.

ternity Of our article, SAVIOR more of imperti-
