Fattening Cattle on Grass.

LOO many OF our iarmerS beeW u oe
of the opinion that if they buy their cat.
tie and turn them ort 20 grass, that moth
ing need be done until they are fat, and
that the great point is to have as many
as they can possibly keep.
This branch Of farming. like all 9th.
erS, needs experisnce, and will pay for
more attention than it generally receives.
In most cases, as soon as the cattle is
turned out in the spring. they are al.
lowed to have the whole range of oil the
pasture field at their will. This is q
mistake they should not be allowed to
roam about in this manner. but should
be controlled. They should be changed
from field to field every two or three
days.
Cattle, like all other animals, like =
change of food nor is this the only ad-
vantage by con6ning them to one field.
or portion Of ground. they will cut down
the grass before it becomes too rank. and
that in the other fields may be growing.
and when they are ready to go into an
other field the grass of the one they
leave may 60 on growing. aud thus the
grass will always be young and tender.
They should have a change Of pasture
every three or four days. and he changed
not only from field to field, but from up
land to meadow and from meadow to up
land.
1t is q great mistake to have too many
cattle. Remember that ten we'll fstten-
ed are as good, and will bring as tiiuoh
as fifteen or twenty only half fat.
Shade and salt are of great import.
ance; the latter should be supplied al
least once a week. The best way which
7 can find is to mix it with bran, say
one quart of salt to half peck Of bran
and place it on the ground in small
piles.
If tho cattle are not fat when the FIRST
heavy frost comes, they should have
something more than grass, for that as
soon as frosted loses great portion of
its powers of fattening pumpkins raised
among the corn. nubbing. or small pota-
toes, Gin small quantities will answer
the purpose.
generally feed from ton to fifteen
head every summer, and always make il
rule to keep ten bushels Of corn and
Eve of cats, to feed (grornd and placed
On the grcurd in the fall) after tho frs'
heavy frost.
In conclusion, there is more depends
upon the care taken Of fattening steel
than many suppose. They should b.
kept quiet and free from excitement o.
all kinds.

Dlsmounting from their own horses, they
selected forty three of the best horses in

the Potomac, leaving the afflicted friends
to find their way with the corpse to the

How to Burn Coal.

At this season, when this important ar
ticle of housekeeping is SO costly, it
would be we'll to practice The closest e.
economy in its use. This is not, by any
means done; coal is either wasted in con-
sumption or else thrown out in the ash
es. Nearly all. or at any rate, the
greater part Of our ranges and stoves
have four doors, two large ones opening
on the CRATE, and two smaller ones
for les,ening :he draft and putting in
the fuel now. when the fire is started
in the, morning, it should be built only
in one end of the CRATE, the other being
full of coal; by this mea MS the amount of
wood required (Which has also increased
in prics) is much reduced, and the coal
ignitos moro quickly. the fire soon
spreading to the green fuel first applied.
When the stove is not in use for any
special purpose. such as baking or roast
ing, rake the fire clean and fill the crate
as full as it will hold, then close up the
draft openings, even all. and throw the
small doors wide open, the fuel is then
slowly roasted away to ashes and good.
clear fire at all times obtained. By far
too much fuel is thrown away in the ash
es; buy patent sitter and screen them,
picking out all the refuse, white cinders.
&C., and you will be astonished at the
result. fully one third Of the ashes may
bo rescued from the pile and re-consum-
ed. These hints should not be neglect
ed, we have tried them and know their
valuo.-!Scientifc american.

Cotton In the Free states.

Gen. Banks has called the attention Of
Government to the merits Of Southern Hi
nois as cotton field. 1t appears that the
entire country south Of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad is adapted to the cultiva-
ton OF the FIBER; and that formerly nearly
the whole population was engaged in its
production. Old cotton gins and presses
still exist on the older plantations. The
area thus awaited is said to be 100000 of
acres. The cotton is represented to be
similar in kind and staple to that grown in
Tennessee. The subject has been taken up
with much animation by Mr.. Seward, and
other members Of the Cabinet, and it is
understood that abundant supplies OF cotton
seed will be sent from the Patent Office. in
order to enable the farmers to re establish
the cultivation. At the present prices of
the raw material, the experiment will be
highly profitable:

unparalleled success hundreds annually having
than fully ACKNOWLEDGED their indebtedness to
him for the health they now enjoy and, in some
instances, even their lives; to whom he will re.

cessltv of calling early, as there is yet hope
left to the Care-worn and diseased.

Inc remedies he uses are not those powerful
drugs that nauseate by offending the stomach
enteebilns digestion, and, at the same time, sap
ping and undermining the constitution For the
lungs and throat, he uses Balsamic Etheriel pre-
parations, by Inhalation. It's advent into the
arena of medicine has been heralded by the
better Journals of both the old and new world
as one Of the greatest discoveries of science over
disease. For all other diseases, he uses medi
cine of vegetable origin. 1t is by the means
OF these GREAT REMEDIES this practice has been
rendered SO famous throughout Europe and the
Eastern States. 1t is the magic power of these
simple yet effective medicines that startles the
