[ have known tarIaerS to make forty and
fifty wagon loads of valuable manure, in
the course Of one winter, simply by clear
ling out their stock shelters and mixing
with the mannrc plenty of pine leaves,
straw and other vegetable matter. IN
dependent of the manure, let us consider
how much better they look; how much
better is the condition of the animals
when compared with those cattle which
have only the lee side of a rail fence for
t%protection! And, again, the COW which
is properly cared for, instead of being
feeble. and emaciated, is vigorous and
healthy, and will survive the dangers of
parturition with greater safety, and will
give more milk, and that of a better
quality, if she is properly sheltered dur
lug the winter months.
1t is we'll known that the milk from
cows exposed.to the inclcment weather
during tie Water months is thin, blue
and wattery, and produces little or no
cream. The cause adduccd is, that the
COW requires all the fat OF oily particles
contained in the food, to supply oxygen
to keep up the natural animal telnpera-
ture, and Of course cannot spare any or
a very small portion of those greasy
particles SO very requisite to the pro-
ductionofrich high-colored milk. Surely
good milk is a luxury during winter
months, and cannot-every farmer have
it by proper attention to his COWS during
this season?
Many of our cattle die in the spring
when the grass begins to grow-to use
a common expression, Give all the win
ter and die in the spring. The cause
lies in the bad treatment during the past
winter. The system being in a state of
great emaciation, and, consequently, not.
in a condition to receive food of a high
and feshy character, as the young grass,
which cause scours, and too often the
death of valuable animals, or what would
be if properly cared for. Salt is a good
preventive in all cases of this kind, when
given in season.
Sheep should have shelters from the
rain and cold storms, for none of our do
nestle animals are more sensitive of the
cold than sheep and more especially
should they be protected against dogs
a good rifle in the hands of an unerring
marksrnan is the best antidote for this
universal pest. The thick woody jacket
of the sheep may afford some protection
and they may still look we'll in the far
mer's eye; but there is nothing more
certain than that his sheep are losing
stamina when exposed. The farmer will
find it much to his advantage to provide
suitable pastures Of cloyerfor his sheep,
as it can be done at a little expense
The white clover does we'll onlight land;
excellently on land having a clay sub
soil, and when C well sown, will last
for several years.
Waving all consideration, the farmer
should, for humanity's sake, pay more
attention to his stock. ! do not mean.
to say that all are entity, but there are
too many who are guilty to a most un-
pardonable degree.

Naive present an extract of Mr.. Ry-

publication meeting lately, at Indianap-
oils, which expresses the sentiments en-
t~ertained by the Douglas Democrats for
the Lecomptomtes and the terms on
which they, the Douglas Democrats,
will have anything to do with them
Which terms are, frst-an unqualified
endorsement Of popular sovereignty ;
second-an unqualified condemnation of
Bright and Fitch; and lastly-a com
plete and final reputation Of this in
iquitous pro-slavery administration:
Mr.. Ryan then addressed tile meeting.
lie did not intend To make a political
speech, nor, on the other hand, did he
intend to take back anything he had
eve said, since the eighth Of January
last. On the contrary, he felt a little
sitter in the back toward these Lecomp-
ton men than he ever did before, and
only on one condition would he have
anything to do with them; and that con-
dition was, that the Democratic members
of the Legislature should meet in caucus
and unite upon these three points-first,
an unqualified endorsement OF popular
sovereignty ; secondly an unqualified
condemnation of Bright and Fitch; and
lastly, a complete and final population
ct this ubiquitous. prerslaEery admins
tration- If the Leeompton men would
accede to these propositions, the Douglas
men would be justified ID showing them
some little favor; but if not, they must

our Government declines the solicited
interference in this matter:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, Nov. 81, 1853.
To Mr.. A. Hart, President of the Congregation
"Mickve Israel, Z Cherry street, Philadelphia.
Sri have received and submitted
to the President your letter Of the 10Th
inst, respecting the alleged forcible abb
duction from his parents of a Jewish
child, by the public authorities at Bo-
logna, in the papal dominions, and ask
ing some expression of condemnation
on the part Of this Government.
This occurrence took place within the
territories Of an independent power, and
without affecting the rights of any Amer
lean citizen. t is the settled policy Of
the United States toabstain from all in
reference in the internal concerns of
other countries.
Certainly there IS smoothing in the Cir
cumstances Of this case, as they are re-
ported, which would impose this reserve
upon the Government. But it is deemed
proper to adhere to the established prin-
ciple which has heretofore regulated its
conduct in its intercourse with other
nations.
