M1LLEr.-We hear some of our fellow
townsmen continually complaining of the
cost of keeping cows As an invaluable
summer grass, we can commend to them
planting a few rows Of millet. We have
five rows, about twenty five yards each in
length, planted in March, from which, for
two or three weeks, we have been feeding
COW and calf-giving to each as much as
they could consume.
BY keeping it we'll cut down, thus preven'
ting it from going to seed, we expect it to
last until fall; when a small piece planted
in rutabagas and silecian beets, will supply
them until the early part of spring; and if
a little rye be sown in the fall, to come in
when the latter are exhausted, a COW may
be fed the whole year round at little or no
cost. By adopting this plan we think COW
may be kept up aud fed, at very little cost,
when the great saving OF. manure is taken
into consideration, be always in better con.
dition and give better favored milk.-Winns-
boro Register.

Corn CoBs.-Permit US to advise you not
to sell your corn on the cob, but have it
sheIled, and keep the cobs for your cattle.
By crushing and steaming the cobs, when
mixed with cut straw or hay, they make an
admirable mess for dry.cattle, and if a quart
of meal be added to each mess given, and
made into slop, milch COW will thrive well
aud contribute generously to the pail.

BATTLE AMONG BEEs.-Terrible Slaugh.
ter of the Inuaders.-The Toledo (Ohio)
Republican relates the following as having
occurred, a few days ago, in that county:
A new swarm of bees came out Of their
paternal hive and gathered around their
young queen, in the warm, sunlit atmos-
phere. But, instead of going to some neigh.
boring tree or shrub, and forming hanging
cluster, as has invariably been the rule with
all predecessors with whom we have ever
been acquainted, they settled on hive and
began murderous attack upon the peacea.
BILE inmates
The unsuspecting workers were taken by
surprise, and many of them were killed by
the invaders before they became fully arous:
ed, when the conflict became quite obstinate.
The fact that most of the working bees OF
the hive were out gathering honey gave the
new swarm all the advantage, and, though
the battle lasted all day, they finally triumph:
ed. Thousands of dead bodies were drag.
ged to the entrance and thrown on the
ground each hour.

How TO HAVE Coop CoFFEE.-Due re.
gard being paid to the quality of coffee,
Old Government Java being the best to be
done, is to pick it over, carefully; after
which, it should be washed and dried. Then
roast it-being careful that the kernels are
equally browned-to deep chesnut color,
and not burned, as that destroys the life of
coffee, giving it bitter and disagreeable
taste. Grind it, not too fine; then break an
egg into it, and stir it till tho particles ad.
here, then turn into the pot boiling water,
and let it boil five or ten minutes. After
taking it from the stove. turn into it few
spooniuls of cold water, to settle it. This,
with sugar and sweet cream, has no bad
taste in it.

SOW. MILLET.
Do YOU want to know whya Because it
Yields more food for man and beast, than
any other cultivated grain. Cut for hay,
the crop is large and of excellent quality,
and, it is said, imparts vigor or an elastici.
ty to working cattle that is acquired from no
other food. Stock, too, are very fond Of
millet hay. If allowed to ripen, its seed is
an excellent grain for animals, possessing as
much nutrimeut as Indian corn but not its
fattening property. In Europe it is often
ground for bread, and, where people are
accustomed to its use, they are fond of mil
let bread.
In this latitude, as we learn from good au-
thority, the time for sowing millet is from
the first of May to the middle of June, when
it will be ready to harvest in July or Au-
gust, leaving the ground in the best possible
condition for a crop of winter grain. A
rich, light soil is best, and it should be deep
and finely prepared as for wheat. If grown
for hay, from 80 to DO quarts of seed should
be sown to the acre. 1t should be cut
while the seed is in the milky state, and as
soon as it is we'll wilted it should be put up
and cured in cocks, as recommended for
hay. If the weather is fine, it will be sufti.
cientiy made in three or four days, when
the cocks should be turned and opened a
few hours before it is hauled in. When
sown for the grain, from l6 to 20 quarts OF
seed are required to the acre, and if put in
with good seed drill, the crop OF seed
would be much improved.
No attempt should ever be made to secure
both seed and hay from the same field
Plant one field for seed. and one for hay.
A good crop will yield five tons of hay.
For seed, the upper parts of the heads
must be ripe before it is cut.
There is one advantage in growing n'illet
that ought to commend it to all farmers. 1t
flourishes we'll in all seasons.
Farmers who once commence the cultiva.
ton of millet seldom ever abandon it.
Will somebody this year try crop OF
millet?-Exchange.

INCREASING THE SIZE OF FLowERs.-A
horticulturist of the suburbs of Versailles,
in studying the physiology Of the vegetable
kingdom, conceived the idea that the small.
ness of certain plapts-the violet, for exam
ple-was owing to the atmospheric pressure
too great for the delicate organs. Having
fixed this idea in his mind, the florist con.
ceved the idea of putting his theory into
practice. Providing himself with small
balloon, rendered sufficiently tight to pre-.
vent the escape Of any gas, he launched it
into the air, after having attached to it a
silken cord twelve hundred metres long,
Instead of car, the balloon sustained a
Aowerpot of Parma violets. His expert.
ment has been going on about two months
with the most wonderful results, in the shape
of violets large as Bengal roses. 1t is ex-
pected that the above experiment may be
turned to some account.
