The RIGHT WAY.-The farmers in and
about Springfield, have very pleasant and
profitable way of spending one of the long
winter evenings of each week, by the arrange
ment of series of social meetings at each
others houses, where all matters relating to
agriculture and horticulture are the subjects
of discussion.
AT the last of these meetings Mr.. George
Hull of West Springfield being present, and
the owner of five very profitable COWS, he was
requested to give his experience in feeding.
Mr.. Hull buys all his COWS eat, and sells their
milk. He has tried the various kinds of food
usually fed to 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 change. The meal is always scalded, as
it goes much further 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 filled up with cold water,
and it is ready for use. Three pailsfull of the
mixture are given to each animal every night
and morning, and as the managers are water
tight, he turns it into the manager 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 bushel
boiled is worth for milk one and a half bushels
raw. This he considers healthy and cheap
food for cows

TO ADvERTIsERs.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE IN SPAIN.

The message of President Buchanan, in
which he unfolded his policy in regard to the
purchase of the island of Cuba, and its annexs-
ton to the United States, was very fully and
ably discussed in the 'Cortes" of Spain, on the
3lst ult Senior Ulloa, Director General of
the colonies, opened the debate by reading
some extracts from the message of the Presi-
dent, and we are no less pleased than surprised
to find that the Senior has sojust and discrimi-
mating Judgment, as regards Mr.. Buchanans
position and influence, and of the real wishes
and sentiments of the people of the United
States.
After spurning the offered bride in tempar
ate, but none the less forcible language, Ulloa
proceeds to say, 'that he does not think that
the eagerness of the President ard the party
which he represents, for the acquisition of
Cuba, includes the majority of the people of
the United States, whose good sense and pru-
dence are known to ALL
In the above, Ulloa shows himself to be
man of sense and information, and his remarks
have done more to place the gasconade of Mr.
Buchanan, concerning the acquisition of Cuba
in its true light before his countrymen, than
whole hours or columns Of belligerant buster
could have done. The Minister of State, Gale
dron Callantes, followed Ulloa in the debate
and his remarks were in similar strain. Ex-
pressing, in the most decided terms, the oppo-
sition of Her Majesty's government to the ces-
sion of a single inch of the territory of
Spain, Callantes yet refrains from retorting
upon the President of the United States in
such coarse and insolent terms as form the
chief staple of Mr Buchanans message, so far
as relates to Cuban affairs; and, in this, the
Spaniards have achieved great advantage, so
far as the sympathies and good wishes of that
portion of the world, who think, is concerned.
By the side of the courteous, digniied, and
high-toned discussion of the matter of Cuban
sale and purchase, by the high officers of the
Spanish Government the rough and bun
Cling suggestions and purposes of Mr.. Buchan-
an appear in most unenviable light-one
that is little calculated to make his country or
his party feel proud of the head of the "model
republic"

CoMrrssArrD OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES tel

COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION.-The tele-
graphic reports of the annual meeting of Mr..
Elihu Burritts Compensated Emancipation
Society are quite meager, but they are suffi-
GENTLY comprehensive to show the utter alb
surdity of abolshing chattel slavery by any
such plan as that which the learned blacksmith
proposes. Mr.. Burritt's proposition to pay
$3.50 per head for all the slaves in the United
States, in forty years, and to commence the
work of raising funds to that end, seemed to
remind the audience of Dame Partington's
efforts, at an early period of her life, to resist
the flow of the Atlantic tide with her mop and
pail Mr.. John G. Underwood, of Virginia,
who was present at the meeting, while an
nouncing himself as an abolitionist, and hon
oring the benevolent purposes of the move
ment, stated his objections in a clear and lucid
manner, not the least of which was, that, in
his intercourse with the shareholders of Vir-
ginia, he had never found man to speak favor
ably of the plan; and how could they, when
the market price of slaves at the present time
was eight hundred to fifteen hundred dollars,
be made to comprehend that it would be worth
their while to receive fraction of those sums
in forty yearsq
At the adjourned meeting, only about dozen
persons were present

"AULD LANG SYNE."-At the Burns festi-
val in Albany, on the 25th, Mr.. L. V. Pruyin of
that city, exhibited the autograph copy of
Aud Lang Syne, of which he had recently be-
came the possessor, through friend in Lon
don, Mr.. Henry Stevens. In relation to this
precious document, Mr.. Stevens writes to his
friend Pruyin under date of London, Jan. 7th,
1869, as follows:
"The annexed fragment" containing Aud
Lang Syne is part of letter to Mrs. Dunlop,
and is beyond all question in the autograph of
Burns. have placed beside it a characters
tic letter of the poet, dated Feb, 1888, bearing
his signature, and addressed to John Richmond.
This autograph of Aud Lang Syne was for
many years in the possession Of my late friend
William Pickering, the Publisher, and after his
death, it fell, under Sotheby's hammer in 1855,
to me, at a price which / dare not name, but
which would have gladdened the hearts of the
poet and his poor Jean had they an time reaped
the benefit. "For AMERICA" were the only
words fthe auctioneer that accompanied the
fall of the hammer and as pocketed the pre-
cious relic. "For America /" was many times re-
peated by the poets and scholars present, who
had assembled to witness the sale, with tone
of reluctance at the idea of its leaving the
country, that told more of the value of the relic
than the gold that paid for it."
