PowSK OF ORDNANCE.
Each turet contains two guas, and from the ne.
Guitar facility which Il has for giving direction IN
the heaviest ordnance, no doubt arises the desire
to make these Of the hsaviest description. How
far other considerations should conir0l the char
acter Of the osdnance, is necessarily an uasetried
question
To strike an armosed ship II may be best 10 use
gun capable Of the greatest power; bat whether

and high velocity; whether Il shall be a l5-inch
gan, fred with thirty five Of forty pounds, or l3

pose will not vary to any impoTtant degree. But

be as rapid rs possible. Hence piece Of l6 600
lbs for 10 inch or IL Inch shot and she'll.
When number Of monitors brought 10
geher, il would be better also to have guns u like
kind In each susret, aud bringing Into action which
ever might be preferable
Each Of the monitors Of this squadron had Is
inch and a smaller gun, II inch inch rife, and
hence the rapidity of fire which was most desira-
bic was not attained. That this was due to the
cabre Of the gun, and not 10 Its being located In
tuIret may be shown by one notable instance.
November ., 1868, the MOntauck, Capt Davis,
was engaged In battering Sumter. In SO dOing, the
ll-inch gun fired t~eniy five shells successfully
In one hour, of which twenty one hit the wall OF
the fort aimed at--distance sixteen hundred yards
This is at the rate OF Que shell in "a minu.es,
which Is not only rapid, but also exceedingly ac-
curate practice.
There IL no reason why another II inch, If placed
in The adjoining carriage. instead Of the Is inch,
could not have been fred In the same time, at
which rate that monitor would have delivered an
ll-inch shell every 2 minutes.

vanced position towards Bermuda Hun
dreds was first known in Petersburg. A
general engagement. 1t appears, was expected
at that city on Tuesday. On every hand
he seemed to be pressing his forces, and ex-
tending his lines-his extreme right reach
log around to Brander's Bridge, north of the
city. Contrary TO this universal expectation,
however, ageueral engagement did not come
of, bat there was little or no picket firing
or skirmishlng. At an early hour 1t was as
certained that the enemy had Withdrawn his
advanced lines, aud retired several miles.
At late hour Tuesday evening our scouts
reported the enemy rapidly retiring on the
road to Bermuda Hundreds. On the east
bank Of the Appomattox, in Prince George
county, where the enemy advanced his negro
regiments from City Point Monday, he was
not to be found Tuesday, although move
ment was made TO ascertain his whereabouts,
which pushed its search nearly TO City Point.
The enemy left many valuable articles
on the ground abandoned TsesaAy II front

s. is that OF the churn, the cream, etc But the
FAC! is that in majority Of cages the milk con-
tlins little butter The good wife may be ever
so skllliul in her management, but II the butter
is not there no amount Of care and labor on her
part will produce it. If the butter does not

be well fed, and kept warm and comfortable,
aud there will be little trouble in churning
Butter, like fat, is derived from the food II
the fat contains fat--or carbonaceous substances,
like starch and sugar, they will produce las
-a0d as these are not all consumed to keep up
the animal heat Of the boiy, the COW, II liber-
ally supplied with it. will either increase IN
weight, or give milk rich in butter.
An English lady who has had much expert
ence in making butter, gives us the following
hints in regard TO her method Of procedure IN
winter -
"Where only a few COWS are giving milk,
skim the cream off every morning, and scald II
by putting it 10 tin immersed in boiling water,
and letting il remain till well heated II the
cows are eating turnips, this will tako away
their unpleasant flavor from the butter, After
scaIdng the cream, put it in a crook, and add to
it the cream each morning, (scaldiug as belore,)
till you have enough TO chnrn, say one week
If kept longer the cream is apt to become bitter
II is not ds,irable to skim the mix tor more
than two days. The cream should be kept II
moderately warm room, or at least where i
will OF freeze. When ready to ehurn scale
your churn, and pour in the cream while tn
churn is hot, and churn Immediately"

MORTALITY AMONG Army lloRsEs The re-
port OF DR.. Turner, late Chief Veterinary Sur
geon Of the Army, gives some interesting facts
in relation to the mortality among the horses OF
he army. In the Eastern department alone
the mortality Is three thousand per month, and
an equally large number is condemned. Theee
seventy-two thousand horses per year cost the
Government nine millions of dollars Add the
losses in other departments, and The number
killed in battle, and we have roms insight into
the vast expenditures involved in the present
struggle for our national existence
This gieat waste of horse life must surely be
felt in every section of our country where the
raising of horses lie made matter Of business,
and result in giving strong impulse to the
breeding of this kind OF farm stock. Wherever
farmers can raise colts, without actual lUss, at
present prices we Can safely advise them to raise
as many as they can, becaus prices must yet
be even higher than now, and the demand for
horses will continue to be large Tor years to
come.

subject becomes Necessary, and must DO inaugu

as far as it ought; but a much larger purpose
will be subsorved, if wo can prevent tbs fore's'
from being cut down faster than they can grow
up, and thereby tho fertility Of large section Of
country from being ruined.
In the meantime until coal depot c'n be es-
tsblishsd, housekeepes will buy as little wood "a
possible, instead Of examining their out-hol Sc;
with enough TO last one or two years as they have

are an eye sore in parlour, and replace them
with new CRATES or stoves Of lesser size, would
add very much to appearances as well as com
