Kitty is our eldest child,
Eight years old and rather Wild
Wild in manner, but in mind

With pure and strange delight.
For, indeed, 1t passes all
To have a sister no, go tall
As my doll and with blue eyes
And-l do declarc--it cries
Last night didn't see her. father.
Or, I'm sure, had much rather
Stay at home as still as a mouse,
Than played all day at grandma's house.
She is so pretty, aud 50 tiny
And what makes her face so shiny

LARGEST YIELD OF Corn OF REcoRD-
A correspondent writing from Nandenburg
county, Indiana. informs us that at the state
agricultural exhibition a silver pitcher was
awarded for the best five acres of corn. The
award was made upon the decision of three
disinterested men in each town, who examn-
ed the corn growing in the fields, and measure
one acre of each plot. They then made oath
to the yield of the single acre. and of the
whole five estimated from the acre actually
measured. The award made, under oath,
was for s57 ~ bushels of sheled corn on
five acres, or IA ID bushels to the acre.
If this has been excelled at any other time
or in any other place, we shall be glad to
hear it, Till we do, we shall put Wander
burg county, Indiana, at the head of the corn
column-unless we hear of some mistake in
the above report

How TO KEEP Cows.-George Hull of
West Springfield is the owner of FIVE very
profitable cows. Mr.. Hull buys all his COWS
eat and sells their milk He has tried the
various kinds of food usually fed mich COWS,
and concludes Indian meal to be the best and
cheapest. Each COW receives six to eight
quarts daily, according to her size, and about
ten pounds of cut hay. Stalks and boiled
roots are sometimes given for a change. The
meal is always scalded, as it goes much fur
Their than when raw. The meal is placed in
two barrels, and boiling water enough poured
on it to moisten the mass. Then the barrels
are filed mp with cold water, and it is ready
for use. Three pailfulls of the mixture are
given to each animal every night and morning,
and as the managers are wator-tght he turns
it into the manger upon his cut hay. The
cows get no other drink than this the winter
through. Boiled roots he thinks will not
make milk taste. and one bushcl boiled is
worth for milk one and half bushels raw.
This he considers healthy and cheap food
for his cows. The secret of making cows
milk free and holding out till near calv-
ing time lies mainly in these three directions.
viz: milking regular, feeding regular and
keeping them warm"
