On the whole, however, the gravitation Of public
sentiment is in the right direction, though perhaps,
not quite 20 positive rapid could be desired or

reflect the better they act. The tone, temper and
action Of Norfolk to-day ia Immensely letter than
that of Baltimore one year ago; ray, six months

AGRICULTURAL.


Visiting large dairy aud stock rancho 10
Marin county lately, says the editor Of the Gal
;6orr;a Farmer, we were exceedingly grati6ed
70 listen 10 the prsctic.l remarks Of the propri.
etor upon the utility and value OF kindness TO
cattle and having often urged this matter In
our columns, we take this opportunity to call
the attention Of all dairymen aud stock owners,
TO the remarks OF this humane man:
"In the first place, says he, 81 never allow
any man In my employ to whip, beat, kick or
abuse. any animal on my farm as IL is inhu.
man to beat or matreat dumb beast, will
not allow IL on principle. And again, weh
everybody would act on the same principle, and
those who have no humanity, II they would
look at the cost OF beating cows, they would
deslst. For example," said hc, "let a coarse,
rough man 90 among thirty or forty COWS Mt
milking time, and begin to speak loud aud harsh
TO tho COW he Ia to milk or, as such man will
often do, thump or kick the COW, or strike her
with the stool, as uufeeling meu oftcn do, and
that COW, aud every COW within his Influence,
will hold up her milk-some more, some leso.
This IL an established fact; and every such man
among ba nd Of cows will thus take away from
the product of tho dairy from three TO hve gal
Ions Of milk daily, In a band of forty COVE A.
Il is customary for one man to milk twelve or
fifteen cows as his portion, these COWS will he
scattered over the yard or in different stalls
and AZ he will have to pass among nearly the
whole band, they will feel and fear his infin'
ence, and am confident man of this charac
ter will always lose his employer more than his
wages. with this view of the case, never
will keep n man on my premises who il of this
character"
We now plead with all dairymen, and NIX
them to review these facts, give US their opin-
iops and copy the example OF this humane and
wise man, and whose words are here quoted,
and they will fiud themselves the gamers largely
by such decisive action. II our dairymcn ard
stock rsisers would discharge all rrrn who ave
harsh aud cruel TO their stock, they would have
better stock, more butter, and be In better
condition every way. =.

FEEDING tloIsEs.-A correspondent OF the
RHral Register gives his experience in feeding
horses He SAYS.
"The same quantity OF oats given TO horse
produces different ELECTS, according 10 the time
they are administered. There is decidedly a
great advantage in giving horses water before
corn, and an injury in giving water after corp.
There is u bad habit prevalent; namely, that of
giving corn and hay on their return to the sta"
BILE after hard work. Being very hungry, they
dovour it eagerly and do not masticstc; the
consequence is, it is not SO well digested
When horse returns from work pcrspiring and
out OF breath. he should he allowed to rest tor
a time, then give little hay, half hour afJer-
ward water, then oats. BY this plan water may
be given without risk OF cold. This cores
pondent states that he has made many expert
ments with his own horses, aud the foregoing
are conclusions based on his experience"
