How 70 Inoraass the Value OF Cow.

Every one who owns COW can see at
glance that it would be profitable to in
crease the value Of her, but every one can
not tell how to do it. We can, and we
think that We can make it equally palpa-
BILE to our readers. If COW is kept for
butter, it would certainly add to her value
il the butter making properties Of her milk
should be improved. In summer Or winter
this can be imPr owed just as the yield Of a
cultivated crop can be improved BY what
is fed to each and it is simply a question
Of will il pay, in manuring the one or
feeding the other. Indian corn will add to
the quantity and quality Of the butter to
very sensible degree. and it is simply
question of easy solution, BY experiment,
whether it will add TO the profit Of the but-
ter-mager to bug corn at one or two cents
apound, ard convert 3 portion Of it into
butter at twenty-five cents o pound, Or
whatever the market price eff corn and
butter may be, and another portion Of it
into fat, and another portion Of it into ma
nure, for that is the natural result Of the
chemical change produced in the laborato-
~ of the csw'8 stomach. The same result
will follow any ether kind of feeding. Coed
pastures will produce an abundance Of
milk, often as much as the COW can carry !;
but does it follow even then it will not be
profitable to feed her with some more ole
aginous faod to increase the quantity Of
butter Just as it sometimes proves Profta-
bic 10 feed bees to enable them to gtore
more honey. It certainly does appear to
as that the value of COW, feeding upon
ordinary winter food, may be made almost
double by making that food suitable for
the purpose Of increasing the quantity of
milk, if that is the purpose for which the
COW is kept, Farmers generally understand
that they can convert corn into beef, pork
and lard, and some Of them know exactly
ct what price per bushel it viii pay TO con-
vert it into these substances but does any
one know at what rate it will pay to con-
vert corn or any other kind of greia into
butter, or any other kind of feed into the
dairy products? Is the whole business a
bap-hazard one? We fear 50. Some
persons know that they can increase the
saleabls value Of butter by adding tie col
oring matter Of carrots to it. Does any
person know the value of bushel of car
rots fed 10 COW to increase hervalus as
butter-prOducing laboratory? Experiment
tai proof upon this point would be far more
worthy Of agricultural prizes than it is to
see who can show the largest sized roots :;
for by a few carefully conducted expert
ments we should be able to increase the
value Of a COW almost at pleasure,-R:yaI

The Decay OF American Orchards.

DR.. John A, Wardsr, the eminent Ohio
Pomalogist, writing in a late number Of
The Cincinatus upon the decadence of or
chards in this country, gives the prominent
causes of failure in the following:
"SUMIARY.-In this essay, have pass
ed in rapid reyisw, with some occasional
amplifcations. the chief cause of the pre-
mature decay Of apple orchards, which
may be attributed to the want Of proper
selection and preparation Of the soil to
neglect of cultivation to exhaustion Of tho
soil to want of manures judiciously ap-
piled. under the guidance of analyses that

sudden alterations to excessive humidity;

ly, 10 bad and injudicious pruning.
with all these evils, to which our or
chards are SO generally subjected, it is net
surprising that we should often find them
in state of premature decay, nor that We
should hear complaints of their being no

wall, with towers at short intervals; outside
OF this wall 10 decp ditch, aud beyond this

itself. The capital Of China consists, in
fact, OF two cities, tho North. or Imperial
City, and tho South City. Tho former is
called the City of Tartars; the latter, tho
City OF the Chinese. They nro separated
by turretcd wall, and communicate only
by three gates, of which the middle one is
reserved exclusively for the Emperor. The
Tartar City contains tho palace of the

buildings of every size and shape, pavilions.
