of these worthless creatures, who always
claimed that they had had nothing to cat in
three days. This was the stereotyped formu-

fights they had been in, and Of the wonderful
feats of valor they had performed.

Baynard TAYLOR in recent letter
from Germany makes some sugges-
tons that are worthy of attention.
He saws
The misfortune is, that agriculture
in all its branches, has in America
been followed, principally, by classes
representing two eNtremes--the old
fashioned farmer, conservative, un-
progressive, relying only on the few
modes of culture TO which he was ac-
customed as boy, and the rich
amateur who possesses.n no real knowl
edge, and feels no sincere, absorbing
interest in the life which he has adopt
ed as another form of luxury. The
intermediate class-those who bring
taste, intelligence. and enthusiasm to
the work, looking beyond immediate
profit ostentatious show--are still to
scantily represented. Here l find
men, developed by culture aud travel,
devoting their lives to what is really
the noblest human science, and the
results, under circumstances far less
favorable than surround us. are such
as to make me regret how far we are
in arrears.
One Of these men, three or four
years ago, persisted in introducing the
system of deep blowing. The farmers
Of the neighborhood predicted his

manifest, that they are, one by one.

manuring. and iudicious rotation Of
crops, these fields. which have been
cultivated for fifteen hundred. years,

system of shallow blowing (fou, inch

yet am convinced that their produc-
ton may be double. The value of the
solar aud atmospheric influences has
never yet been measured.
Our climate am satisfied, is better
than that of Germany, or even OF
Belgium. Whether the south of Eng

ter and its equable temperature.
though often so moist and untavorable
10 crops, is to be preferred to our dry,
clear air and more violent changes, is
question which admits of discussion.
Our harvests, on the whole. are more
certain. even leaving out of view our
more hasty and imperfect agricultural
system. In regard to the health and
yigor of the race, these depend rather
upon the habits of life than upon diff
ference of climate. The nearest ap-
proach 10 English stability aud order
is to be found among the Quaker
farmers of Pennsylvania, and there is
no class Of our people, l am sure.

provided with the good doings of this
life.
l don't mean to point moral or
adorn at all, wherever l can avoid it
least of all in these familiar letters
but think TX. Marvel and H. G. will
agree with me, that the most of us
country-people in America might be
better off than we are.

REMEDY FOR KICKING Cows
Cows. says a contemporary, seldom
kick without some good reason for it.
Teats are sometimes chapped or the
udder tender; harsh handling hurts
them, and they kick. Sometimes long.
sharp finger nails cut their teats, and
sometimes the mixer pulls the long
hairs; cut long finger nails close, battle
chapped teats with warm water, and
grease them with lard, and always treat
COW gently. She will never kick I'M
less something hurts her. or she fears
3 repetition of former hurts. When
handled gently cows like to be MIXED.
When treated otherwise, they will
kick aud hold up their milk. 1t is
quite as consistent to whip sick child
TO stop its crying, as to whip or kick
q COW, to prevent kicking while being
MIXED.
