How TO MAKE DAIRY FARMING PAY
From an article on this subject in the Ameri-
can Stock Journal We select the following
paragraphs For the last dozen years there
has been, perhaps, no branch Of industry that
has uniformly yielded to the husbandmcn
better or surer profits than a judiciouslY man.
aged dairy. Nothing produced upon the
farms of this country meets with more ready
sale, than milk, butter and cheese, especially
when pure, of good quality, and we'll put up.
Calves and pork, incidental to a well con-
dncted dairy, also sell readily for cash and
remunerative prices. To make the most that
can be made out of dairy, great care,
coupled with good degree of knowledge and
skill, is required. Cows should be kept in
perfectly healthy condition, and fed upon the
kind Of food adapted to the production OF the
largest quantities of milk and butter
Another important thing is, that cows should
have good dry yards. with comfortable sheds
in W inter, and always plenty of pnrest water.
When all Of these conditions are complied
with, dairy farming cannot but be remuner-
alive. Then again, when butter and cheese
is made for the market, it must be well and
neatly put up, in order to bring the high
price. 1t costs no more to make hundred
pounds of butter Of the finest quality than it
does to produce very inferior article, while
there is from fifty to a hundred per cent diff
ference in their value when brought to mar
ket. The best articles always meets with a
ready sale, and reflects credit upon the make
and vender, while the other is drug at any
price, and may well occasion blnsh of shame
upon the face Of him who makes or sells it.

LIME AND SALT COaP0sT.-The mixing of
lime and salt is simple proccss-tlle princi-
pal conditions to observe are not to use salt
in such a quantity as to render tho manure
injurious to the crop to which it is to be
applied. Having determined on the quantity
of lime to be applied per acre, calculate the
quantity OF salt necessary to add to the lime,
which should not exceed four hundred weight
to the acre. The salt may be dissolved in
water before being mixed with the lmo-the
compost turned over once or twice, and, if
convenient, earth or peat added. The action
of the lime and salt is to bring the salt in a
caustc state, and the lime is converted into
the chloride of calcium. The compost is a
valuable dressing for wheat, oats, clover, &C.,
aud when intended for these crops, the com
post should be formed two or three months
before the period of application. The action
of the compost is not understood to be power
full in destroying insect life. When applied
for this purpose it should be spread on the
soil in the beginning of Autumn, and mixed
with the soil by the use of the grubber, &C.
We may mention that any kind of inferior
salt, which can be obtained cheap may be
used for forming the compost. A better sub
stance for destroying insects is gas limc.-
The quantity of gas lime to apply varies with
the texture of the soil; but four tons an acre
is generally sufficient. This should be APP
plied. hot from the gas works and spread even
ly over the surface. If applied during the
Winter to grass lands the improved verdure
Of The field will generally show within a few
weeks the effect of the top-dressing. If you
apply it to land intended for turnip, it should
be applied Immediately upon the removal of
the cereal crop, and grnbbcrs aud harrows
used to incorporate it with the soil.

A Hut or Tuo.-To keep ice from windows
take an ordinary pant-brush or spong., and
rub over the glass once or twice day little
alcohol, and it will keep the glass as free
from ice as in the middle of Summer and it
will also give as good polish as eau be got
in any other way.
Isinglass is a most delicate starch for mus
lin. When boiling common starch, sprinkle
in little fine salt; it will prevent it sticking.
For fruit and wine stains, mix two tea

sigeI Resigns.

New York, Sept. 30t-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune says
Sigel has asked to be relieved from has
command. His letter to the President give
the following reasons for the course he
has found necessary to pursue:
lst Because he was placed under a
junior officer without the knowledge of
the President, although the President
has power alone to place junior over a
senior of the same grade.
I'd. Because his command has grad
ually been reduced, first by the removal
of two divisions, Cox's and Cook s, then
bytwoss brigades, Pats and Milroy's.
Sd. Because none of the regiments
raised expressly for him, except one,
have been assigned to him, nor have
others been given him in their places.
4th Because of the grossly abusive
manner in which Halleck treated him
personally and officially.
9Th Because his little comand has
been placed in peculiarly exposed po-
sition in order to perform tasks that are
impracticable.
9th His impossibility to procure hor-
ses or equipments for his artillery and
cavalry and hence these arms are COM
paratively useless to him.
It'll. Because all his requests or requi-
sitions are refused on account of which
his troops are discouraged and compare
lively inefficient Many of them have
not been paid for six months.
9Th, Because he cannot expect fair
treatment, and because his troops, for
whom he is doubly concerned, is made
the innocent sufferers on his account.
He is persuaded they would fare better
under another commander.
Several Western Governors are urg-
ing the appointments of Hooker to the
command of the Union armies in the
Mississippi Valley.
Judge Lane of northern Alabama is
here. He urges, as do al men who live
in that section of country, the Importance
of taking possession of East Tennessee,
and holding it against all rebel corners.
He says if our line extended along the
whole southern border of Tennessee, the
rebel army of the West would be entirely
unable to support itself Speaking from
a thorough knowledge of the country
south of that line, he says it is incapable
of producing the supplies. He considers
the recent movements northward of the
rebel army to be in the main foraging ex-
petitions in search of bread

thority that Cassius NJ Clay win, after

From the Army OF the Potomac.

BALTIMORE, Sept 29.-The following
is from the American letter dated camp
9th New York Zouayes, near Sharps-
burg, to-day. I@ -s
McClellan's headquarters were remov-
ed yesterday to point three miles near
er Harper's Ferry. This movement may
mean something or it may be for con-
venience. 1t is regarded here with some
interest. ~
Harper's Ferry is now held in large
force by our troops, aud is evidently re-
garded an important position. All indi-
cations here bespeak renewed activity on
the part of the army
Rebel accounts of the late battle Gre
, ates some disgust but more amusement
among the officers and soldiers at Viii
Transport
There are no active operations on
either side. The rebels continue their
pickets on the Virginia side of the river.
Our troops do the same thing en- this
side. As general thing there is no fir
ing between pickets GU either side.
The statement gains in credibility from
, rumors which have for some time pre-
vailed of Mr.. Cameron expected return
on visit.
The Times correspondent asserts that
the CONSUMPTION act is being actively and
most vigorously enforced in that portion
of Eastern Virginia now occupied by the
rebel troops Every white male person
! between Is and 60 years are being press
ed into the rebel service. The rebels
have also impressed all the negroes into
their service as teamsters and laborers
in the @. NJ. Department.
The statement going the rounds Of the
! Press to the effect that previous to his
leaving Washington for Frederick, Nc
] Clellan advised the abandonment of Har
pers Ferry as an untenable position, i:
unfounded. Gen. Harvey had an inter
view to-day with the Secretary of War
but the object and results have not trans
pired. STA H7 1

HEADQUARTERS 9TH DIVISION,

Brig. Gen. Hrlburt, Commanding 4th
Digision, army Of Tennessee: -,
DEAR Sir: Permit me through you to
convey to the officers and men of your
division, an expression of my deep regret
that the necessities of the public service
should at this time separate our com
mands. Our divisions were the first to
disembark at Pittsburg Landing in the
early part of March, and through storm
and sunshine. adverse and prosperous
times, we have been side by side. Not
only have social ties arisen between us,
but the habit of acting together has made
us as one command, and feel at parting
with you as though my own division was
divided / need not express to you the
assurance of my high personal and Off
cial respect, for | hope have evinced il
on many and all occasions. For Gen
erals Lauman and Veach Unjust say that
no officers could have been more Jealous
close and attentive to the important du
ties than they have ever been. lcannotre-
cali an instance of their having been
away from their posts for even an hour
To them | predict an honorable and
brilliant future. Indeed, with very few
exceptions, your division is composed Of
class of steady, good men, who by Their
behavior in camp, on guard, on the march
and in battle, reflect honor and credit on
themselves and their country
Be pleased to convey to all my hearty
thanks, and assure them that l will hail
the change in events that will bring us
again together.
With sentiment of high respect, your
friend and servant, ta

Rumored Attack on Fort Morgan.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-Rumors are
in circulation to the effect that the I'm
ion fleet has commenced an attack on
Fort Morgan, below Mobile
The statement to the effect that the pa
rolled Union prisoners from Harper's
Ferry are to be sent to act with Pope in
the suppression of the difficulties with
the Indians, is confirmed. The Mary
land home brigade, which was at the
Ferry when surrendered, will not, how
ever, go out on this expedition, as they
complain that the field of duty is too far
distant They have been transferred to
Annapolis.
The corps of Sigel has been largely re-
enforced within the last fortnight, and it
is whispered that he is on tue track of
the enemy, not far from Warrenton.
