Advantage of Crushing Oats.

The London omnibus company have late.
ly made a report IN feeding horses, which
d~iscloses so re interesting information, not
only to farmers, but to every owner of a
horse. AS a great number of horses are
now used in the army for cavalry, artillery
and draft purposes, the facts stated are of
great value at the present time. The Lon
don company use no less than 5000 hor-
ses, 5000 of this number had for their feed
bruised oats and cut hay and straw; and
the other 5000 got whole oats and hay
The allowance, accorded the first was
bruised oats, l6 lbs, cut hay, y lbs, cut
straw, % lbs. The allowance accorded to
the second-unbruised oats, uncut hay and
straw, amounted to 80 lbs. The horse
which had bruised oats, with cut hay and
straw, and consumed 26 lbs. per day, could
do the same work as well, and was kept in
as good a condition as the horse which re-
ceived 80 lbs. Per day. Here was a gain
ing of 6 lbs. per day on the feeding of each
horse receiving bruised oats, cut hay and
cut straw. The advantage of bruised oats
and cut hay over unbruised oats and uncut
hay is estimated at five cents per day on
each horse, amounting to upwards of $500
per day for the company's 5000 horses.

Wool Growing.


The Secretary of the Vermont State Ag-
ricultural Society, Daniel Needham, in his
annual Report, has the following remarks
upon the important subject of wool grow
ing:
The price of wool for the next few
years, reasoning from analogy, must be
high. The cotton crop will not be planted
extensively at the South as it has been in
years past; and if the blockade is not rails
ed by the first of April next, in many States
it will not be planted at all. Should the
rebellion not be suppressed within another
year, as very likely it may not be, very lit
tie of the cotton crop of 1861 will find its
way to market for the next eighteen months;
and when We consider that the people must
be clothed, hat the use of wooden fabrics
during the present high price of cotton
goods, is much more economical; ;hat the
million of men in the field wear and des-
troy, in weight. a third more of clothing
than in the peaceful avOcations of life; that
at the South nearly all the carpets have
been cut up into blankets, and that very
little of the worn out stock will be suppl
ed until peace is restored-from the fact
that the South has not even the raw mate
rial to replenish with-the whole seeding
States not producing as much wool as the
State of Ohio alone; it can be seen, that
not only during the war, but at its close,
when the million of men in the army re-
turn to their former emplOyments, discard
their military clothing, and dress as they
were wont, in broadcloth and doeskins, the
price of wool must continue above the aver
age price for the last five years. In time
of war the quality of wool is matter of no
small consequence. Vermont has limited
herself to the production of the finest woods.
But the wool most in demand now, and
bringing the highest price, is a coarser
grade. The query may well be made,
whether it will not be equally profitable
for us to tuin our attention to the produc-
ton of a somewhat coarser staple, and at
the same time furnish richer and higher
priced mutton for the market"

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
By Mss ALICE CARY.

When first the skies grow warm and bright
And fash with gold the hours,
Ard in her pale, faint robes, the Spring
Is calling up the flowers;
When children with u~nslippered feet,
Go forth with hearts of glee
To the straight and even burrows
Where the yellow corn must be;
What beautiful embodiment
OF ease devoid Of pride,
Is the good old-fashioned homestead,
With doors still open wide.
But when the happiest time is come.
That to the year belongs.
OF uplands bright with harvest gold,
And meadows full of songs;
When fields Of yet unripened corn.
And daily garnered stores.
Remind the thrifty husbandman
Of ample threshing floors
How pleasant. from the din and dust
Of the ~thoroughfare aloof,
Seems the old-faShiOned homestead,
With steep and messy roof.
When homethe woodman plods, with axe
Upon his shoulder swung,
And in the knotted-apple-tree
Are scyths and sickle hung;
And when light the swallows twitter
Meath the rafters of the shed,
And the table on the ivied porch
With decent care is spread
Then hearts are lighter and freer
Than beat in the populous town,
In the old-fashioned homestead.
With gables sharp and brown.
When the flowers of summer perish
In the cold and bitter rain,
And little birds with weary wings
Have gone across the main;
When curls the blue smoke upward
Towards the blue sky,
And cold along the naked hills,
And white the snow-drifts lie
In legends of love and glory,
They forgot the cloud and storm,
In the old-fashiOned homestead,
With hearth-stone large and warm.

i < ract from the Report of Quarsermas
ter General z. G. Hale, to Governor
Curtin:

AT the commencement Of the war it was
found Impossible to procure supplies equal to
the army standard, and before the proper
clothing could be obtained, the wool had to
be dyed and carried through all the process
of manufacture
1t has been my policy, for the encourage
ment Ut our own manufactures. and that the
money raised on the credit Of the State might
be spent among our own people, to procure
everything IN Pennsylvania, where it was
possible to do so. 1t affords me great pleas
ure to say that the productions of our looms
and workshops have been worthy of the high
est praise, so that the clothing and equipage
OF the soldiers of Pennsylvania are found in
all respects equal, and in many superior, to
those from any other State. Our shoes are
sewed, of the best material, and of home
make Our stockings have been knit by our
noble and patriotic. women, many of them
the mothers, wives and sisters of our braYe
soldiers, while the greater part Of the blan
kets manufactured at our country factories
are superior to any army blankets in the ser
vice. r .....- .... ..........
AT one time it was found mpossible to pro-
cure blankets for the recruits in camp, and an
appeal was made to the women of the State
to contribute to their relief This appeal was
nobly responded to by the ladies of Lewis
burg, harrisburg, and other places. Happily,
| the dlfIeulty was soon overcome, and we
were able to meet every demand for this ar
ticle, SO necessary to the soldiers comfort,
promptly and satisfactorily. eel. g..
In answer to circular addressed to the
women of Pennsylvania, numerous knitting
associations have been organized, and boun-
tiful supply OF the best home made knit
stockings have been sent to the military store.
From the knitting association of Washington
county alone, we have already received l,600
pairs. | regret that the price allowed by the
United States has not been more than sufhs
cient to pay for the yarn, bat the warm
hearta and busy fingers of those interested
IN this good work have not slaekened, and
the fruits of their labors have been contribu-
ted by them to relieve the families of absent
| soldiers. .--.. ..-t...,s s---
Where blankets, stockings, and hospital
supplies have been sent to US as donations,
they have been duly acknowledged through

-Ne'o Idea Of Job.-Riding one day on
the outside of a stage coach. in the interior
of Minnesota, last summer, the driver. a
funny fellow, told me the following story:
Bill, one Of the drivers on our line, vas
coming out Of Rochester one morning, early
this spring. The weather was cold and fros-
ty, the roads were bad, and the horses
would not work well together. On the.
seat besides him was clerical gentleman,
Now, Bill swore sometimcs, and suffered
as we'll; when anything went wrong, as did
the horses this morning, Bill would haul
them up and give them crack with'his
whip, saying:
'G.g-git up, d d d-n you =
The clerical gentleman requested him
not to swear; to be patient. But Bill
would swesr. The clergyman, after a repe4
ttion of Bills profanity, again appealed to
him.
BE pstiens, be patient; Job was man
Of patience -. -, .-.-- s
Bill cooked an eye at the Clergyman, and
said:

This species Inhabits America from New
England to Carthagena. In the southern
States they are the most numerous. They
love to reside in the vicinity Of fields of
corn, a grain that constitutes their chief
and iayorite food The seeds of apples,
cherries, and many other sorts uf fruit, are
eaten by them; and they are accused of
destroying bees. They build their nests
IN holly, cedar, or laurel bush 1t is
constructed Of twigs and weeds They
are hardy birds, easily kept, sing six or
eight moatils i'll the year, and are most
lively in wet weather. They are known
by the names of red bird, Virginia red
