The President Of the United States an.
nounces, "with profound sorrow" the death
of Lieut.. Gen. WINFIELD Scorr. He died
at West Point N. Y, on the Goth ult, with
out any apparent cause, if we may except. old
age.
81 The reputation of Gen. ScorT, as a militia
ry man, up to 1860, was part and parcel of
the history of the whole country, acquicsccd
in by all. But his action, in reference to the
late war, has not left many in the South to
regret his death or revere his memory.

FArTRNINa CALvEs.--A sensible practical
farmer told US the other day that he had no.
ticed that calves would thrive better on milk
that was not rich in butter, than on what was
commonly called very rich milk. That is a
fact in accordance with what we recently sta
ted, that the nutritive elements of milk reside
chiefly 10 the caseine. Ifyou have a COW that
gives particularly rich milk and one that gives
a quality poorer in butter, it is better. in eve
ry way, to feed the calf on the milk Of the
latter. The calf will thrive better and you
will get more butter. from the milk Of the
frat cow.--Ploughman
