FARM AND GARDEN.


From the Rural New Yorker.
This subject has been discussed at the
meetings of farmers, at State fairs and
clubs, and generally determined to be of
such paramount Importance to the dairy
man that he could not afford to depend up
on purchasing his young cows in the mar
ket. As it costs no more TO keep good
than poor COW, and the product is usual
ly double, too careful attention cannot be
given TO this matter And in reference TO
economy, it may confidently be said, that
If a farmer cannot afford 90 raise heifers,
which become COWS at two years old, then
he cannot afford 10 raise any ordinary
farm stock whatever; for young two
years.old COW is worth more than a steer Of
the same age, and worth more than any ami
NAL or animals that can be raised for the
same money The real question is not
whether you can buy a young COW
for less money than you can raise
her, but whether yon can buy yfrst-rate
animal cheaper than you can raise her. As
heifers are ordinarily raised, they have
not vitality and maturity enough to be-
come COWS when two years old. But under
the hand Of an intelligent and careful
farmer she is rounded ont into full and
beautiful proportions, and becomes profit
able mixer, even the first season. When
only the best mixers are bred from, with
a bull also from the best milking family,
the result Is very certain TO be satisfactory.
And heifer calf from poor or ordinary
mixer should not be raised, unless the bull
has a remarkable milking pedigree. These
things can all be cared for when the dairy
man raises his own cows. But our chief
object was to call attention Of farmers to

informed that, in one of the cafes here in
Rome, an Engisarnan was traducing the
character of President Lincoln, calling
him baboon. 1t being place OF public
resort Mr.. Rogers felt shat he had right
to be heard on that question; therefore.
rising from his seat and standing before
the fellow, doubling up his fist, he said:
81 am an American sir; Mr.. Lincoln ia
President Of the United States; and if you
repeat those words I will known your
teeth down your throat"
Mr.. Rogers is tab, Stout, ,ssrobust, resol
ute, with energy apd will visib in his
countenance. The Englishman hung his
head, stammered al apology, and was
careful to utter no more offensive words
In the hearing of so resolute Yankee.
Not long since an English woman, wish
an eyeglass in hand, was gazing at The
statues in this studio, and stopped to az
1nire that entitled 1.-The Sentinel'-a sol-
dier OF the Union, with his musket.
"Who is .that?" she asked.
'That is an American so ldier-a sent

''Is it hat great General Stonevals

"No, Madame; it is the man who sbot

FOX AND WISCONSIN RIVERS

The report of Major Suter, Captain Of
Engineer Corps for the survey of West
ern rivers, gives a complete account Of
the Fox and Wisconsin, from which we
gather the following items, which will be
of interest to our readers
On the Wisconsin no Improvements
has been made except three railroad and
three wagon bridges have been thrown
across it. In its low stage there is onlY
a depth OF four feet over the bar at the
moutll-the bars above give three to four
feet. Major Suter thinks by erecting
brush or wing dams, SO as to contract
the width of the river, depth of six fe6s
might be secured at low water-s15 ,000
is the estimated cost of a satisfactory sur
vey. General Warren, also in govern
ment employ, thinks depth OF three feet
is all that can be relied on. Distance
from Portage City to the mouth of the
Wisconsin river, 1l2 miles--descent $50
feet
From Green Bay to the Mississippi
river the distance is 274 miles.
The docks on the Fox are designed
for a draught of four feet, and he thinks
no alteration should be made until the
Wisconsin is fully surveyed
For the through traffic, he thinks il
best to adapt he improved co1nnlnrecting
channel to the size Of the grain barges Of
the Mississippi.
AS most of the time the depth of the
upper and lower Fox rivers may be i'm
proved TO reach the de pth of six feet,
Major Suter advises the increase Of the
length Of locks from 100 to 22O feet, tbe
present width to remain as now.
With such improvements he thinG5
small gunboats might pass from the lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico, by taking tee ad-
vantage of the high stages in. thes Wis.
consln. He says the Improvements on
the lower Fox need considerable repairs
to secure the full benefit even at the
present capacity.
Distance from the outlet of Lake Win
nebago to Green Bay 81 IL miles, des
cent ITO feet.
Dubuque, Iowa. is also to have bridge
across the Mississippi river, and COM
pany has been organized to build it.

GOSSIP OF THE STUDIos.-Years ae

GOSSIP OF THE STUDIOS. Years ago
i know not how long-there was a
young man away up in the woods of
Michigan, who took it into his Head he
ought to be an artist, and, following the
bent of his genius, came to Rome The
result is, that you may see his genius in
the great bronze doors of the capitol at
Washington, worthy to rank with those
Of the baptistry Of the great Florence
Cathedral, one by Ghberti, and the other
by Persano, which Michael Angelo de-
clared were worthy to be the Gates of
Paradise.
In the University Of Michigan, at Ann
Arbor, stands his Nydia the blind girl of
Pomperi, fleeing to escape the impending
destruction of the city-one of the most
beautiful conceptions Of modern art He
has a large humber of commissions for
"Nydia," Isaac" and others of his well
known works. His figure Of Ruth CLEAN
ing is beautiful figure. so winning that,
if Ruth herself was half so beautiful, no
wonder Boaz singled her out from all the
other cleaners of the wheat-feld
Mr. Rogers is Of the opinion that hence
forth there will be fewer lCupids, Pucks,
V-nuses, and subjects from mythology
than there has been; that the public taste
is satisfied; that the B bic, instead Of
heathish mythology, will henceforth be

ALEssoN IN ITSELF SUBLIME.

4 lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth ems rining,
Is this: II take no note of time,
Save when the siih is shining"
These motto words q dial bore.
And wisdom never breaches
To human hearts better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
AS life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is no grove on earths broad chart
But has some bird to cheer it;
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although we may not hear it;
And if to-day the heavy wing
Of sorrow is expressing,
Perchance to-morrow'S 5 sun will bring
The weary heart blessing;
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely;
Then let's forget its toll and care,
Aud note its bright hours only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
We take the cup Of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we should teach our hearts to deem
It's sweetest drops the strongest
And pleasant hours should ever seem
TO linger round us longest.
AS life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hour only.
The darkest shadows of the night
Are just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All bodeless phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
OfTime's fast ebbing river.
Let's puck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the gracious Giver,
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.

FROM WATERToW:N TO KANSAS.
EMPoRIA, LYON Co. KAN,
APRIL 14th, 1867.
Correspondence Of the Republica

On April 8th, we started from Water
town on the afternoon train, and after a
pleasant ride of eight hours arrived in
Chicago at 8 o'clock P. NJ. The omni-
bus was at the depot in waiting, and We
were soon rattling over the paved streets
of the Metropolis of the West. We were
at the Union Depot an hour before the
train was to start, which gave us time to
get cup of good coffee, which we found
at the eating stand in the depot. At ten
o clock we took our seat in one of the cars
of the Illinois Central for St. Louis On
this road we were not crowded, the Con-
ductor was gentleman, and the road be-
Ing smooth, we enjoyed a good nights
rest, which is an uncommon thing for
US when on the cars. Daylight found us
rolling on at rapid rate through beau
tiful prairie country, with here and there
grove of timber. Through villages,
past farm houses, thence into the open
prairie rushed our iron horse, regardless
of the beauties of nature with which we
are surrounded At 10 A. NJ. we ar
rived at 0din, 244 miles from Chicago,
and 65 miles from St. Louis ; there we
changed cars, taking the train west on
the Ohio & Mississippi R. r. to St. Louis
The portion Of this road over which we
passed, runs through very good country
for farm and stock raising. The coal
mines along the route are doing good
business. We saw several places where
they were mining coal Of an excellent
quality.
The omnibus agent came through the
train bef re arrived at St. Louis and gave
us tickets to pass ourselves and baggage
to the Union Pacific Railroad depot
When we got off the cars, we found orn-
nibuses to carry passengers 10 any portion
of the city We stepped into No. and
were soon on the ferryboat. The passen-
E RS kept their seats, SO that we crossed
the Mississippi river in an omnibus. Ar
riving on the St. Louis side, the several
omnibuses were driven off, and we found
ourselves jolting over the rough paved
streets, stopping suddenly to avoid coll
lision. than on at the crack of the whip,
through narrow, uneven and Irregular
streets, where all was hustle and business ;
hack, carts, drays and omnibuses rushing
in all directions. We passed the market,
where we saw fresh garden vegetables Of
all kinds, apples, coaconuts, bananas, or
anges and lemons, and many other things
to tempt the epicure and lover of ood
things. Arriving at tie Z. P r. R de-
pot, we saw large crowd of people
waiting, and found that we had nearly wo
hours to spare, as the train would not start
until + P: NJ. We purchased 6tr ticket

We urged him to hitch on and help us
up to the post Office, which he did. The
post master consented to let the boy help
us across the fat We crossed the Wa
karusa river, but on the flats we found
that our team of four horses could not
take us through. At which Hoosier of
our company remarked, "these ere Kan
sas horses are the sorryest horses [ ever
saw" He "reckoned we should have a
right hard time getting through" While
lifting. whipping, editing and slash1ng to
no affect, man came along and hitched
his team on and helped us across the fat
about forty rods distance. The driver
asked the Quaker what was to pay, he re-
piled, Il have helped thee out friend, do
thou likewise to thy fellow man" We
all thanked him and got into the coach,
rode about mile when our team stopped.
We5umped Out and pried with rails, but
all to no effect except to weary ourselves.
The horses would not make an effort.
The driver then left US and went ahead in
search of a team, He returned in about
half an hour with team and it's owner,
who hitched on, saying he would take us
to Clinton, two miles, for two dollars,
which the driver agreed to pay We
were at q. about sunset there we waited
to have the mail changed, which was done
while our driver was hitching his team to
the coach.
He said it was yet three miles to the
station where we would change teams.
He thought if we would walk he could
get hrongh, and as we were anxious to get
to the station we told him we would do
anything to help along. We started-so
did the coach, but it stopped in mud
hole about twenty rods from the post Of
fi'e. The driver tried in vain to make
the team draw, and finally went and hirel
the fifth team to take us through to
smiths Station, paying the man two dol
lars for his services. At5mith's we took
supper at 8 o'clock, having been seven
hours going twelve miles. We got a
fresh tenn there and started for the next
station at Ridge vile, fifteen miles distant;
We looked ahead for a tedious night. One
of our passengers remarked that he had
paid ten cents mile to be taken through,
and he for one should stick to the coach
till the last horse fell [ will tell how
we succeeded in getting through to En-
poria in my next letter.
