Sir:-Considering good hand writing to be not
only an accomplishment, but a means Of success TO
every man engaged in business, greatly applaud
your mertorious exertions to improve the chiro-
graphy OF the age. A gentleman or a lady either,
who writes badly, never writes willingly; and con.
sequenty often fail to write when they should; and
when they do write, il is done at the last moment
with haste and impotence, and consequently with
faults Of all kinds, often committing and iniuring
both the writer and the eauie which be advocates
Wishing you every success in your audable un-
dertakings, Iremauyou respectfully,
THOMAS II. BENTON.

So accurate is his system and so uniform its
success, that after witnessing its effects on
eral hundred pupils in this place, the lamented
Alfred Hume observe, 81 consider it but justice
to say. that | believe it not only the best sys-

Such Mr.. d. believes will be the opinion of
all who test its merits, and an experience of

the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. D. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of his
system, or his skill in teaching it.

VIM. G. Mitchell, Of Switzerland

Ohio Cultivator:
/ have had no scales within
reach to weigh live stock before
feeding and after feeding corn or
corn and cob meal; my whole con-
clusion has to be founded on the
judgement Of myself and others.
Now ] will give you the result Of
my experience. Two bushels Of
corn ground with cob, fed to a
horse, will keep him looking as
well, and enable him to perform
as much labor as if fed on three
bushels Of corn in the ear in the
same length Of time. / find to
feed two beef cattle Of equal d.
mentions the same lenght of
time, that eight bushels ofground
corn and cobr will produce as
much flesh on one, as eleven
bushels of corn in the ear will on
the other. In regard to mich
COWS, / End half the corn ground
with the cob, will produce as much
milk in a week, as the whole
amountin the ear. find in win
tering calves, about half the
amount Of corn ground with the
cob, will keep them growing aud
looking as we'll as the whole
amount fed in the ear: the same
to stock cattle of any age will
produce the same profit, if very
old, the profit is greater.
In regard to feeding sheep,
about half the corn ground with
the cob, will keep them looking
as we'll or fatten them as fast, as
the whole amount fed in the ear
or shelled. In regard to hogs,
there is about the gain Of one
bushel in five, by grinding in the
cob, and wetting the meal, and
feed it in good troughs. In fat
ting hogs after they are about
half fat, there is very little gain
ed by feeding the cob, though i
the corn is ground, l have ascer.
tanned that six bushels and q hall
will produce as much pork as eight
bushels fed in the ear.
/ find grinding corn very fine il
not good, as it produces looseness
in animals, and passes off before
the nutriment is all extracted
but when 1t IS ground with the
cob, the case is very different
/ find that the cob will not digest
: it will therefore retain the mea
