full preparations made for doing a large

Messrs. Potter and Lynn are finishing the

largely much wanted article. Que Of
the cotton oil mills in the Navy Yard is
doubling its capacity; it had fonr presses
at work, in week or two it will have
eight. The other mill in the same neigh
borhood has six presses. The Memphis
cotton factory, Of Messrs. John Page &
Co., Of which we spoke at length at the
time il was in course OF renovation, is now
fully at work, and the spirited proprietors
are now manufacturing osnaburgs, WOODEN

WAR BONDS AND CoUPoNs.-The
Treasurer mas commenced paying the
semi annual Interest on war bonds A
practice has grown up, in various parts of
the State, of cutting off the coupons aud
using them as currency. These detach.
ed coupons will not be paid by the Trea-
surer until the bond from which they are
curis shown to him to be yet outstanding,
or until it Is paid into the Treasury and
the Endorsement thereon shall show that
it was not redeemed before the coup q
fell due. The better way is to present
The bond to the Treasurer and let him cut
off the coupon.
1t is very evident that there is no means
of his knowing whether the bond has not
been paid to sheriff ,collecor, bond agent,
or other officer authorized to receive them.
In that case, the interest ceases, the moment
the bond is paid to the officer aud rhe de.
tached coupons become worthless after the
bond is surrendered. Suppose, for 10.
stance, a man cuts the coupon from bond,
which coupon is payable on the FIRST Of
..Iy, 1862, aud to morrow pays the bond
10 70 collector or land agent. The bond
OF P.Jpal, being paid, it follows that the
'".sses'' coupon ceases to be of value.

How to Increase the Value of a Cow.


Every one who owns COW can see
at glance that it would he profitable
to increase the value Of her, but every
one cannot tell how TO do it, We can,
and we think that we can make it equal
ly palpabIe to our readers. If COW
is kept for butter, it would certainly
add TO her value 1T the butter making
properties of her milk should be in
creased. In summer or i'll winter this
can he improved in just as the yield of
cultivated crop can be improved by
what is fed to each, and it is simply a
question of will itpay, in maHuring the
one or feeding the other. Indian corn
will add to the quantity and quality of
the butter to a very sensible degree,
and it is simply question of easy sol,i-
ton, by easy experiment, whether it
will add to the profit of the butter
maker to buy corn at one or two cents
a pound, and convert a portion of it
into butter at twenty-five cents a pound,
or whatever the market price of corn
and butter may be, and portion of it
into fat, aud another portion of it into
manure, for that is the result of the
chemical change produced in the labo
ratory &C. the cows stomach. The
same result viii follow any other kind
of feeding. Good pasture will produce
an abundance of milk, often ms much
as the cows can carry but does it fol
that even then it will not be profitable
to feed her with some mere oleaginous
food to increase the quality of butter
just as it sometimes proves profitable to
feed bees 10 enable them to store more
honey? 1t certainly does appear to
to me that the value of q COW, upon or
binary winter food, may be almost
doubled by making that food suitable
for the purpose Of increasing the qnaIi
ty of milk, if ti!at is the purpose for
which the COW is kept. Farmers gen.
orally understand that they can convert
corn into beef, pork and lard, and some
of them know exactly atwhat price per
bushel it will pay TO convert corn or
any other kind of grain into the dairy
products. Is the whole business a hap
hazard one? We fear so. Some per-
sons know that they increase the sale
able value of butter, by adding the col
oring matter of carrots to 1t. Does
any one know the value of bushel of
carrots fed TO n COW to increase her
value as a producing laboratory !?
Experimental proof upon this point
would be far more worthy of agricul-
tural prizes than it is to see who can
show the largest sized roots tor by n
carefully conducted experiment we
should be able TO increase the value of
cow almost at pleasure.-Rural
Register.
