SouAsHEs n Cows.-At a mating of
the State Agricultural SO ciety. Judge Os-
born was called upon to M Ike some remarks
upon the effect of BostC m snuashes ON the
milk of cows, and said ir reply That he had
been trying the expe riment whether the
farmer could not use u ie sauashcs he was
In the habit OF taking to market. For this
purpose he had red ule best kind Of garden
produce to his cattle feeding them with
cabbage until JN luary, and then with
squashes. lie plaf tied corn four feet apart.
and every fourth hill was planted with
squashes alone, y order that the squash
might have fO benefit ofthe sun. There
Is as much IN squash of the size ola mans
hat, as In a pumpkin five times as large.
Since he had fed the marrow squashes to
his cattle, he had noticed the excellence of
the milk. and that without any bad taste.
This squash natures In January, when the
strong squashy taste disappears. They
should be kept out just ahead Of the frost,
and by care will last till March. There are
spots upon them, but not enough to cause
serious injury. His object was to know
whether a farmer who had a milch cow
could get a good return i'm butter for his
farm labor. Thought that seven quarts of
milk would make a pound of butter. Ifhe
can produce in winter time a good article
Of butter, free from the usual bitter taste.
keep the COW In good health, and get a
proper return for his labor. this is what the
farmer needs. 1t gives 30 pounds a day to
the COW, and this IS liberal feed. Proba-
bly, the squashes could be raised rs well
separately rs with the corn.
CATTLE n SHEEP AS GRAzHRs-In dis
cussing a recent paper by MIR. Hope on
Cattle Feeding, the London Economist re-
marksi
The following indicates a disadvantage
in grazing sheep as compared with cattle ::
AS u rule. animals generally eat In proper
ton to weight, but this is modihed by
their age and condition. 1t has even been
found that if ten sheep Weigh the same as
an OK they will consume daily the same
quantities of turnips; though it Is curious
that IA peice of grass that will maintain AN
OK grazing will not keep more than six
sheep That sheep kept In greater num-
bers on meadows will soon diminish the
quantity of grass produced, is a fact which
we nave again and again verified. And
many years ago, when going ovei his farm
with the late Mr., Henry Overnan, he re-
ferred to a diminution In the produce OF
his meadows, which he said had been over
sheeped.' In Hertfordshire, on the strong
loans, we always found the hay crops to
be disappointing wherever sheep were
much fed on the meadows. Cattle for
meadows, and sheep for arabic lands aud
upland pastures, seems to be, in II general
way the practical rule for stock farming"

The Horrors OF the Nurem-

Carleton writes 10 the Boston Journal
from luxembourg, bavaria:
"Come with me TO this old town, enter
some of these editiccs and look upon the
administration of government as it was in
the lj'h and 11th centuries. We enter
one OF the towers Of the castle, descend
iigc steps and find ourselves in museum.
where are preserved the books of records
giving us history of the past and not
only books, but implements and imstru-
mentS, which show more clearly than
written words the ADMINISTRATION of those
days, with which the government of the
United States is now compared. Here is

TnE MYSTERY OF CnoLEIA.-The
present manifestations of cholera in this
country do not tend to lessen the absolute
mystery of the disease. Its grim secret
seems past finding out. 1t is raging in
central Kansas and some parts Of the
Indian territory with the same virulence
that attends its attacks in large and neg
lected cities. One would think that the
primitive freshness of the earth and
sweetness OF the air on the plains would
expeLthc epidemic, or at least lessen its
dcadliness. Out there no sewers or foul
streets and slums breed con;ag.on no
vaults spread miasma TO bona boiling
vats poison the air; no tenement houses
nourish the pestilence. The frontielsman
breathes the pure atmosphere, eats cou.se
Wholesome food, and takes abundant
physical exercise. The conditions of his
daily life, according to popular theories,
ought to render him proof against cholera.
