The ENLISTED PRIsoNEBs.-We learn, on
the best authority, that the persons. who re-
Gently escaped from Montpelier Jail, did apply
to A. F. Nichols Esq. Of braintree to enlist !;
that they did sign the papers, as also did the
surgeon; and also that Hon. j. b. Hutchin-
son did administer the oath. But Mr.. H.
knew what he was about, as well as what
they were about. He did not sign the papers
as magistrate, believing that Maj. Austine
would not receive the men, and moreover feel
ing that the demands of the laws of the state
were in this case Of more Importance than re-
cruits who would probably be rejected. HAv-
ing cone so much, Mr.. Hutchinson telegraph
ed to the authorities here, and the men we're
re-arrested and returned to their old quarters,
which are much better than Libby prison !:
rooms clean and rations good.

Cows in milk require more food in proper
ton to their size and weight, than either oxen
or young cattle. Cows eat less, however,
thrive better, and give more milk, when
housed all the time, than when exposed to the
cold.
Feed your young colts and calves during
the first and second year, with peas and oats
ground together. lushel for bushel, with a
fourth of Indian meal To obtain size, you
must take advantage of the growing period
of an animals life.
Farmers who make the most rapid improve
ment in husbandrY are likely to be those
who read most on the subject of their voca-
ton For the man who reads little, no mat
ter whath vocation is, will be likely TO
think little, and act chiefly with reference to
tradition received from former generations,
or else in Imitation of what is going on about
him. There is always hope Of man who
loves reading, study and reflection.
Give your swine charcoal. Its nutritive
qualities are such, that they subsist on it for
weeks together without other food. Geese,
when confined so as to deprive them of mo-
ton, and fattened on three grains of corn
per day, and as much charcoal they can
devour, have become fat in eight days. Hogs
eat it voraciously after little time, and are
never sick while they have good supply.
DEPTH OF MILK--Col Pratt, of Pratts-
vile, N. Y. finds that the largest quantity
of cream rises, and consequently the largest
quantity of butter is made when the milk is
one and quarter inches in depth, in hot
weather, and an inch and a half in cool wealth
er, seven or eight quart pans thus containing
but uncomfortable quarts for the first named
depth and three quarts for the latter. The
temperature is kept as nearly as possible to
81 degrees. although in warm weather it may
run up to 65 degrees, and in extreme cases to
20 degrees.

made to give five acres per arnum Of timber

may be sure that it will pay we'll. As to
coal, our correspondent fails to notice one
advantage Of coal, and two objections to it.
The advantage is that wood-shed will be
saved and the objections are that coal makes
a house dusty, and the ashes are of little or
no value. We prefer FIRE Of wood at equal
