Good Horse PrOveRder.

A writer over the signature of W.
w. B., 10 the Rural New Yorker oil
The 2lst ult., recommends a mixture
Of oats, etc, for horses. We think
his plan for raising the two together
pretty good, and We therefore copy it:
Il had," says he, IA conversation
with man lately, who was an expe-
rienced farmer, having farmed both
in this State IN. Y and Ohio, and
his manner Of raising corn feed was
this: | take about Ia bushels of oats,
sand mix them with one bushel of
rye, and sow this amount to the acre.
The rye will support the oats in case
of a heavy growth, and prevent lodg-
ing. In this mannerI have raised
sixty-seven and even eighty bushels
per acre." The soil must have been
very strong to do that, but the
mixture is about the right proper
ton.

Art OF Milkjaa.

Theart Of milking we'll is not taught
in a hurry. 1t requires long prac-
tico to milk properly, and therefore
all the yooag people on farm ought
to be shown how the labor should be
done 1t is quite important that
this branch of the dairy should be
particularly attended to, for cool
mixer obtains at least quart
more from the same COW than poor
mixer.
The first lesson to be taught to
Young people is genileness and kind
ness to the cows. They never need
be treated harshly, in case the bus
mess is properly commenced. Cows
that have been caressed and uni FORM
Iy we'll treated, are fond Of having
the milk drawn from the udder at
the regular time Of milking, for it
gives them relief from the distension
Of the milk ducts.
Let Young people be put to milk
ing the farrow COWS first such as are
to be soon dried, and then the loss
from bad milking will be lessinjurious;
the hand should extend to the eX-
tremity of the teats, for the milk is
then drawn easier. They should DC
taught to milk as fast as possible.
More milk is obtained by a rapid
mixer than slow one. They should
therefore be taught to think OF
nothing else while milking, and
no conversation must be permitted
in the milk-yard. They should sit
up close to the COW and rest the left
arm gently against her shank. Then
ifsheraises her foot on account of pain
! occasioned by soreness of the teats,
the nearer the mixer sits to her,
and the harder he presses his left arm
against her leg, the less risk will he
run of being injured.
Cows may be taught to give down
their milk at once-and they may
be taught to held il long while, and
to be stripped Indefinitely. The
best wayis to milk quick. and not use
the cow to. a long stripping or an
after stripping.

The Democracy held caucus last Thursday,
for the purpose Of appointing d time for hold
ing their convention to nominate candidates
for the State Offices Sometime in Junc-per-
haps the first Monday-was selected. Thus
you see the Old Fogies are determined to make
one grand effort, which will all be in vain, and
no doubt will be the death struggle Of that
party. The new order of things is destined to
sweep all parties into non-existence, and re-
sistance is perfectly useless But the great po-
litical fabric reared by the democracy will re-
main sound and untouched, and the true De-
mocrats-those who love the principles Of
their party better than their party men-need
not be afraid that the result of their labors
will be wrecked in the great revolution which
is now working out. ''.'. -f 4'f4
The great political system which now main
tains in the country has been thoroughly tried,
and the fruit proves good. The intelligence
Of the people will not tear it away, but the
evils sought to be cured exist in the practices
and not the policy Of the democracy. Some
points new and interesting have been raised;
the moulding anew the naturalization laws
the prohibition Of the importation Of crimi-
nails into our country-the exclusion of for
eign paupers--and the total disunion of church
and State-these are to be acted upon, and
will be arranged when the new party assumes
the helm of State in conformity with the best
interests of our beloved country.
The wiseacres of the old Fogies--shutting
their eyes to the painful truth, they see all
about them-are working on, unconscious of
that mine which is now beneath their feet, and
which, in the next general election, will blow
them to the skies. Defeat inevitable and dis
astrous is to be their portion, and there is no
help for it. We love the tenents of the demo-
cratic faith, and will continue to adhere to
them in spite of any influence which may be
calculated to throw us off at a tangent, but we
cannot abide every hideous dogma the usurp-
ing leaders of the party may see fit to fix upon
Us Israel has gone astray after strange Gods,
and for his purifaction, has been given over for
a season to the enemy.
The interest Of our country we love much
better than that Of any party, and right Justify
do we intend to battle in this cause We are
already in the feld-our colors are flying; we
have but to chose our commanders and COM
mence the war in good earnest Let our
be onward, and our arms are d.
rected against all who oppose our creed.
