Effects of Good Feed ON MiIch Cows.

Effects OF Good Feed ON MiIch Cows.
The following hints from Harris "Walks
and Talks" will be found valuable to those
charged with the care Of mich cows:
Our cows give fully one-third more but
ter this year than last, due solely to good
feeding and warm quarters in the winter.
They were COWS | bought with the farm
They looked we'll but proved to be poor
mixers. They had been suffered to GO dry
about the first of November, under the inn
preston that Milking them in the winter
would seriously injure them the coming
summer. And have no doubt that there
is considerable truth in this idea provided
the COWS in the winter have nothing but
cornstalks and straw and are not stabbed.
But if they are not fed literally, they NAY
be MIXED, not only without injury, but
with positive advantage. It favors the
habit of secretiDg milk.
Till within six weeks or two months Of
calving, a good COW, with plenty of rich
food can give four or FIVE quarts Of milk
per day, and will still be able TO secure
milk enough for the calf. She will eat and
assimilate more food, and will get the habit
of seereting more milk. believe there is
no better way of restoring the milking
qualities of COWS that have degenerated
from poor management i give my COWS
three quarts each of corn-meal per day, and
an abundant supply of corn-stalks and
straw. Instead of letting than 60 dry in
November, | kept them stabbed in cold
weather, and they gave more milk, or
rather more butter after we commenced 10
feed grain in November and December,
than they did in August and September. !
MIXED some Of them until within six
weeks of calving. This is perhaps too
much-ten weeks would be better The
COWS, after We stopped milking, Aeshed up
rapidly, and many were the predictions
that the corn-meal would spoil them for
milk. But it did not They gave more
milk than ever before, and it certainly is
very much richer. The prospects now are
that for the year commencing the LIST of
last November till the first of next Novem-
Der, they will give as much again butter a.
they ever gave in year before. So much
for good feeding in winter.
We weigh every pound of butter made,
and feel confident that this opinion will
prove correc.. Ihave not yet fed meal this
summer, but shall do it at the moment
there is any indications Of a falling off in
butter. In fact | should feed meal now if l
had my buildings conveniently arranged
for the purpose. have not the slightest
doubt that 1t would pay to give each COW
two quarts Of corn and pea meal day. If
twenty bushels Of corn year will double,
or even add one-third to the the amount Of
butter and cheese made by COW, it is easy
10 figure whether it is profitable or not. l
do not say they will not eat as mnch grass
and fodder as if they were not fed meal.
The more food they will eat the better, pro-
Sided it is turned into butter and cheese.

| have no hesitaney in affirming that full
three-fourths of the horses which show
marks Of unsoundness were rendered so by
hard driving.
Another cause of unsoundness is expo
sing colts, during the first and second win
tiers, to the pinching cold and pelting
storms, without any protection butheaven's
broad canopy for a covering, and the cold
and frozen ground, or pile Of snow, dor a
bed, with not half enough to eat. 1t is
truly surprising that colts live at all under
such circumstances. But multitudes Of
men are unwise enough to think that such
treatment "makes them tough y 1t does,
indeed, give them an uneommonly thick,
tough skin, but a delicate and tender con-
stitution. None but the barbarous will
countenance such barbarism.
Another cause Of unsoundness is too oloas
confinement in foul and ill-yentilated sta
bles, and feeding too high, with but little
or no exercise, for several successive days.
Another cause is the shameful, cruel and
unwise treatment which young horses re-
ceive when they are being broken,
Who has not seen colts, only three years
old, hitched before cart, or pillow, or
harrow, or a heavy draft Of some kind,
alone, and dashed, and beaten, and starved,
and run up hill, ETC., until they appeared
like an old broked down stager? 1t is true
that horses some times inherit unsoundness.
Yet, as general rule, it can be traced di
rectly to improper management. Mode
rate driving every day, with proper care
in feeding, watering, and protection from
cold storms of winter, would prolOng the
lives of good horses to such degree that
they would finally die with old age.
There are numerous instances of the |
great longevity of horses that have been
always treated properly by careful man
ayers. There are scores of excellent young
horses now in the State of New York that |
were got by the noble horse Henry Clay 4
when he was thirty-fvs years old

Tennessee Apples

=
The Chattanooga Union Of the I'd instant
Gays: -
We were shown yesterday q couple Of
as fine apples, raised in Tennessee, as ever
graced the tables Of any genealogical fair
IN New York or Ohio. They we're brought
TO this city by the Hon. VIM. B. Campbell,
who passed through en- route 10 Washington
on Thursday. One Of the apples was
raised in Grundy county, said TO be the
poorest county for fruit or grain in the
State. The other grew on Mr.. CampbelPs
own place, and was raised from a Seeding.
1t measured thirteen inches in circumfer-
ence, and looked much like a Baldwin,
having the smooth touch of that variety.
1t was Of a dark red color, with few light
streaks through its coat, and altogether was
a magnificent specimen"
The mountain region of Tennessee is
peculiarly adapted to the growth ofthefnest
varieties Of the apple, and it is remarkable
that greater amount Of this fruit is not
produced in this State. Large shipments
Of apples are made to Nashville from St.
Louis and Cincinnati every season, and
sold here at a handsome profit. This de-
mand ought to be supplied by the citizens
Of our own State, and more than this can
be done if attention be paid to the cultiva-
ton of the fruit. As a general thing, our
farmers pay more attention to the peach,
which is a more profitable crop when it
"hits," but it fails on an average three
years out Of Eve, while it is a rare thing
for the apple crop to fail entirely. The
apple is therefore the best paying crop.
But the peach need not be neglected. The
more fruit our farmers produce the more
money will they make, for they will always
find a ready market for good apples.

The Quality Of Eggs and the Rearing
of Chickens, &. --r O.. ... II.

OF NhAehehbs
Few people ever think there is any diff
ference in the quality of the eggs they eat.
Yet there is quite as marked difference
as there is in the flesh of the fowls, Fowls
that are fed on the finer kinds Of cereal
grain furnish much better eggs than those
that subsist on grass and oats and buck
wheat Wheat, or wheaton dough or bread
always makes the richest eggs. G. y. Be
ment writes on this subject: Though most
farmers keep fowls and raise their own
eggs, there are many who have not learned
the difference there is in the richness and
favor Of eggs produced by well fed hens,
and those from birds that have been half
starved through our winters. There win
be some difference in the size, but far more
in the quality. The yolk of one would be
large, fine col1red and of good consistence,
and the albumen or white, clear and pure,
while the contents of the other will be
watery and meagre, as though there
were not vitality or substance enough in
the parent fowl to properly carry out and
complete the work nature had slletched.
In order, therefore, to have good eggs, the
fowls should be well fed and provided with
an abundance Of fine gravel, that they may
be able to grind and prepare their food for
digestion .......
In regard to raising chickens Mr.. Be
ment says: at IS fixed fact that most old
women who live in cottages, know better
how to rear chickens than any other per-
sons; they are more successful, and this
may be traced 70 the fact that they keep
but few fowls, and these fowls are allowed
to run freely in the house, to roll in the
ashes, to approach the fire. and to pick up
any crumbs or eatable morsels they may
find on the ground, and are nursed with the
greatest care ana indulgence. BY warmth
and judicious feeding hen may be made
TO lay as many eggs in two years as she
would under ordinary circumstances in
three; and every one knows, or ought to
know, that q fowl fatted at two years old
is much more tender and palatable than
one that is older"

ReIease of RanhaeI Semmes.

Raphael Semmes, late of the rebel
navy, was yesterday unconditionslly
released by Secretary Welles, under
orders from President johnson. A fact
or two about the Semmes case seems
not to be understood. When the Navy
Department first heard Of his escape,
at the time he surrendered his vessel
to Winslow, it submitted its lawfulness
to board Of officers composed of Ad"
mirals Shubrick and Davis and Capt
EmEops, who unhesitatingly pronoun
ced 1t violation Of the rules and usa-
ges of war. Our government then no
titled the rebel authorities st hich-
mond, through General Butler, that
Semmes had violated the terms of his
surrender by escaping as he did; that
he was rightfully our prisoner of war,
and that we would so consider him, no
matter what action was taken by the
confedersSy. In the face Of this he
was placed in command of the james
riyef fleet, and finally captured and pa
roled Eith the rebel infantry. Army
and navy otRcers quite generally agree
that hsd Semmes been tried by q mill
tary court martial be would oerssinly
have been hung. His unconditional
release by order Of the President yes
terday, is understood to have been in
consequence Of the lstter's determine
ton that no mere military eommis-
sions shall be convened in doubtful
cases. and that even such offenders az
JEFF Davis shall be tried BY civil courts,
