Economy OF stock Feeding.

How to winter stock on short supply of for
gage, seems just now an important question. /
can tell how a very intimate friend of the Colo
Be4s did last winter and perhaps somebody may
be the better for it. -l..- ,t..
Ihls gentleman had pretty good pile of corn
stalks well saved, His stock consisted of COWS
and his team of horses but he had little straw
and less hay. He's great believer in the vir-
tines OF cornstalks, and thinks he knows, how to
feed them. The first thing he did was to buy
straw cutter, and get it home. Then he fixed
some tubs by saving good stout barrels in two
and made good warm stable for his cattle.
Ehe stalks We're all cut, and more or less straw
vas cut with them. Each COW was allowed all
she could eat three times day, and the mess,
night and morning. was fixed in this wise The
Inc cows az noon had feed of dry cut stalks
and straw, which they would eat pretty clean
except the coarser bits. At about three o'clock
these were gathered into the tubs, and enough
more added to make the evening meal. To this
Fas added two quarts of corn meal and two of
bran, and hot water turned on, as much as wo'd
well molsten the whole, and all well mixed The
morning meal was the same, being mixed over
night or early III the morning. In this way no
stalks were wasted, the cows gave good sup
ply of milk, and increased in condition. It was
some trouble, but the manure paid for that abun-
dainty. On Long Island where it is the Gus
tom for the farmers to sell their hay, they keep
their horses on cut stalks and ground feed, and
their teams look we'll
The Colonel's friend and | agree that we can
winter four times as much stock upon an acre of
corn and stalks as upon the hay from an acre.
and that there is no profit in growing hay for
stock upon land that will produce good corn
But the corn mast be ground. and the stalks cut,
and cooked with the meal. Rural Nero Yorker.

Slavery denominations.

The n. Y. Tribune of the 18th, gives the fol
lowing incident and vouches for its truthfulness:
III "A little less than year ago, an English gem
tleman and his family went to spend some
months in South Carolina for his health. On
their1eturn tOdlIel North in the Sprinp. thew
stopped OH their way at,the resided of a British

English gentleman 'Are such cases common?''
''Oh, yes, very common 3ssd 0ngs "a 3D..
The next day the wife of the English gentle
man was spending little time in the sitting@
room OF the wife of the landlord. W lille there a
young, good-lookIng muattO woman came in,

The landlord subsequently disclosed the fact
TINT this was his breeding woman, bought and
kept for the purpose and the one to whom ne al
iuded as having an "easy time" Her children
had different fathers chosen with reference to
their stock qualities by the owner of the girl
She had been made to produce child in almost
every year since she had been purchased; and
the landlord professed to be getting boys and
girls, by his judicious system of crossing equal to
any in the State, and which would bring him the
very highest prices. In what way the girl was
coerced into this diabolical arrangement, we have
seen by tie interview in the sittip groom q.
We do not attempt to highten this picture
We give the simple facts as related to us months
ago. by the gentleman in question, in the conf
denee ofprivate intercourse; and for this reason

tails We only vouch for the strict truth of the

Madison correspondence.

be -5ue % f.5uh.4 MADISON, Jan. II, 1860.
EDITORS TELEGRAPH--The Legislature has
gone to work III good earnest. Fifty Bills OF
more have already been introduced in the House
and probably about as many in the Senate -
Most of these are of no general interest A few
important ones however have been presented
Among them Senator Bennett of Rock brought
in abil essentially modifying the Assessment
law. Propositions have been made in the House
having the same object in view How this. the
most difficult of all Legislative subjects, will be
settled by this Legislature, no one can tell; but
it is certain the present law will be thoroughly
overhauled, and very materially changed
The assembly spent nearly all the session
yesterday, discussing resolution inviting the
resident Ccrgymen of Madison to open the NOR
ming SESSIONS with prayers. The objections of
members to employing Chaplins were as various
and frivolous as could well be imagined 1t is
mortitylng to see members of our Legislature
disgrace their constituents and the State, by
such absurd and ridiculous propositions and OBJ,
jections as were offered in the House daring
that discussion. The resolution was finally mas
,sed, after the House, by the time spent over the
matter had the discussion cost more than all the
appropriations to the clergyman officiating in
either House would amount TO during the zsess.

bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind ;

vorable one in the morning. The clouds again
