10 ADMINISTRATORS.

The law .of Tennessee requires Adrninis-
traitors to publish insolveut notices in a
newspaper A written notice carries out
neither the spirit or letter of lss9, but does
no injustice to all interested parties AMI lays
the Administrator liable for damages to all
who are losers by his nOn.eonformity with
the law. We quote from the code Of Ten
nessee, section 800:
The Clerk (of the County Court - <
shall make an order upon. the executor or
administrator, TO give notice by advertise
ment in some newspaper published within
the State, and also at the court house door Of
the county, for ali persons having claims
against said estate to appear and file the
same authenticated ia the manner pre-
scribed by law, on or against day to be
fixed in such notice, which shall not be less
than three nor more than six months after
the date of notice; and any claim not iled
on or before the day fixed, or before an aP-
preparation of the funds Of the State is
made shall be forever barred both N law
and equity.

Converting Hay and Grain into Milk


The COW Is a machine by which the farmer
converts his hay and grain into butter and
cheese. This he does daily. " hat he feeds
IN the morning returns IN milk in the even
ing Thus daily he is converting his hay,
straw, grain, roots, etc, into milk. Now,
the more that he can convert In this wav.
/ through each COW. the better, as hed0es It
without Increasing the number of his ma
chimes, the cows: IN other words such cows
as consume largely, aud digest well what
they consume, devoting It SO milk instead of
fat are what we call good COWS.
How, then, shall we manage ia increase
the consumption? There is, luckily. a wav.
We do 1t in two ways by good treatment
OF our machines, the cows, giving them good
shelter and timely shelter, and dealing with
them gently; secondly, by selecting the best
food That Is TIE best food which thew.
first, most readily eat; second, most easily
digest third, which keeps the system in the
best condition. The one product that does
this most successfully, IS hay, cut green and
Weit cured Tor winter; and grass, tender
and fresh, Tor summer. Clover Is included
here. But hay Is bulky Bran, oil-cake,
and other concentrated food may be added.
This we deem sufficient This has given
the best results. Now ali this is very plain,
and there Is nothing new abont it And
yet It IS not practiced Our cows are not
well treated, fed regularly, and with pure,
yOung grass, and tender timothy hay. Fresa
water IS not always handy; cattle mast 90
into the cold, and often travel far to get it.
Clean, warm stables are not common; gentle
treatment Is less practiced than should be.
Give us a good machine, docile, hearty.
and disposed to make butter rather than lav
on fat: let US have warm shelter. and water
at hand, early cut timothy or clover hav.
quite tender hardly in blossom, and we win
show you an abundance of milk and butter
that will surprise you. You viii learn how
much there is in these few items alone IL
is because 50 little good hay is fed-hay
grown on dry or welldrained soil, pure.
without weeds or dust, and unbleaehed, and
pasture grown on the same choice soil, that
we see such poor results
If the COW is very hardy and heaIthy-a
strong machiRe-add concentrated food,
grain; but let it not be buekwheat or peas.
as these will affect unfavorably the flavor of
the butter No new-langled theory viii Get
up a revolution in butter making, but thor
ough carrying out Of the old principle, so
far as known in It's best aspects, must be the
reliance. That gives. US the great Yields we
read Of, and the equally great that we do not
read Of that are much more numerous.-

Nothing which the farmer produces IS Of

prices which lie receives therefor are in the
main remunerstive the labor incurred is
light ard agreeable and can be pefsarmed
by the junior members Of his family. The
poultry yard produces food which is highly
palatable and nutrious at all seasons, and ia
this respect is hardly equaled by any other
department Of the farm. Is it not worth
