taste to handy words with w garrulous old con-
temporary on the Bay but some remarks in its issue
of yesterday, in reference to this Journal demand
passing reference at our hands.
Quibbing cannot alter the fact that the first teie
gram given to the Charleston public, on Saturday
announcing the acqulttal of the President on tne
eleventh article was that bulletned by The NEWS
at the corner of Hayne and Meeting streets. As 10

President had been convicted las we were assured oy

Courier itself alleges, 1t unusually unnteligi-

Our peevish neighbor insinuates that our special
teleerams were "concocted" in our Office It can

claim having earned the hurel with which our
venerable contemporary would crown us. If there
be one quality in which the Courier can claim an
iudisputsble pre-eminence among newspapers, 1t is
in the capacity for abounding, indiscrininste and
inexhaustible praise, which It diplaysin treating all

Raising Calves.

THKRE Is no part Of the farm stock more
liable to be neglected in fall than the calves
which have been raised during the sum
mer. They are often left out late In the
season, without shelter 20 pick at the
frozen grass, and by the time cold weather
sets In, are reduced In flesh and cannot be
wintered without extra nursing, and even
then one or more are often lost before the
time Of turning 10 grass.
Calves should enter upon cold weather
In good condition and with vigorous
health. Shelter and an abundance of nu.
tritious food should be provided so soon
as grass becomes frost bitten and poor, and
sleet and rain begin TO be frequent. They
demand the finest and best hay grown on
the farm, and should have In addition a
little oil meal, bran or oats. Roots will
be found an excellent food for calves dur
ing the winter, In addition TO the oil meal
or bran above mentioned. Some prefer

Hard Milking Cows.

In almost all herds Of cows will be
found some animals whose milk is drawn
with great and painful expenditure OF
muscle when no disposition TO hold up Is
manifest. The cause ls generally found In
r detective formation of the teats, the
milk ducts being obstructed OF contracted.
A correspondent Of the Neto EngIdnd
Homestead states that he had q valuable
young COW that MIXED so hard from
hind teats as 10 make the operation slow
and very fatiguing 10 the milker. He
adds "By the aid of probe ascertained
that the obstruction was at the lower end
of the teat / therefore thought little
surgical skill might remove the evil L
took very narrow. bladed knife, gave 1t .
keen edge, took the teat In my left hand,
inserted the point very gently into the
milk passage, and then, without fear or
trembling, gave q sudden thrust OF the
knife In the right direction, and the cure
was effected. The COW started little and
then stood still. A few drops OF blood
followed the cut only. then operated
on the other teat with the same result.
Another young COW that came of the
aforementioned had lost one-quarter OF
her bag, and MIXED so hard from one teat
that the stream of milk wRs no larger than
a small knitting. needle. With the same
success l operated upon that. They
MIXED afterwards as easily as any one
could desire, and no leaking of the milk
followed"

Power OF a Growing Tree.

Walton Hall, England, had at one time
its own corn mill, and when that incon-
venient necessity no longer existed, the
mill stone was laid by in an orchard and
forgotten. The diameter of this circular
stone measured five feet and half, while
its depth averaged seven inches through
ont; its center hole had a diameter of
eleven inches. By mere accident, some
bird or squirrel had dropped the fruit of
the filbert tree through the hole on the
earth, and in 1912 the Seeding was seen
rising up through that unwonted channel,
As its trunk gradually grew through this
aperture and increased, its power to raise
the ponderous mass of stone was specu-
lated on by many. Would the filbert tree
die in the attempti Would it burst the
milestone? or would it lift it up9 In the
end, the little filbert tree lifted the mill
stone, and in 1868 wore it like a crinoline
about its trunk and Mr. Waterton used to
sit upon it under the branching shade

A Curiosity.

One of the curiosities In Chicago is
huge cannon ball weighing 1875 lbs, be-
longing to the big gun at Fortress Monroe,
the largest ever used in this country, If
not in the world. 1t is easy to imagine
that the sides of any vessel, either of wood
or iron, would present weak barrier to
such a ball sped with the explosive force
of nearly half barrel of powder. AS
those visiting Chicago may wish to see
this s0uUeRir of the late war, will tell
them where to find it. 1t lies on the side
walk next to the Chicago postoffice, in
front Of the Office of THE "LITTLE Cor
PoRAL," which-as its name indicates-is
the Napoleon of juvenile papers, having
In three years reached larger circulation
than any juvenile magazine in the world
1t is purely original, and its able corps of
writers have given it so high literary
and moral character, and made it so at.
tractive, that it is everywhere eagerly
sought for. Though enlarged and greatly
improved, 1t is still kept at the old price of
one dollar a gear The publisher, Alfred
L Sewell, will send the November and
December numbers free to all who will
subscribe for 1869 during these months.
He will send a sample copy for ten cents
and free to all who will try to raise club.
Large premiums are given for clubs. For
beauty, excellence and cheapness, it is the
King of Juvenile Magazines, and should
be in every American household. The
West may well be proud of it and of its
UNPARALLELED success.

To Make Sausage.

A GOOD sausage grinder Is almost as es.
sential 10 well.ordered kitchen a.
coffee mill. The proportion Of fat meat
10 lean will depend somewhat on the taste
of different people, but there should In all
cases be sufficient amount OF fat In them
to supply what Is needed In cooking. II
the pork you design for sausage contains
too little lean, you can supply the def
cheney by adding beef, which is less ex-
pensive, and which forms with the pork o
mixture which is preferred by many to
pork alone.
The most difficult part of sausage max
ing Ia the seasoning. Many housewives
have no rule about II, but add some salt,
and pepper, and sage; cook sample ;
find II is not seasoned highly enough, and
try 1t over again finally, from too little
seasoning, the maker manages TO get in
too much, for having tasted for some time
the substances used, their flavor Is not 80
distInct az OF first An excellent proper
lion for the seasoning Is to add to one hun
dred pounds of chopped meat, two and a

Cabinet Organs.

Organ Company, now the largest manu-
facturers Of instruments OF this class In

energetic and persevering pursuit OF right

Gle must never be sacrificed to economy

This Company have expended an inn

Late Autumn Work.

THE vegetable garden should be put in
perfect order for next springs operations.
Clear away the rubbish, throw the soil, If
heavy and rich, into ridges, secure
thorough drainage, and make a large and
compost heap for the future. There is no
better fertilizer for the garden than sod
piled and mixed With woods mold, barn

and permitted to decay until all seeds Of
weeds are destroyed. Light garden soil
NAV be benefited by an admixture of clay,
but heavy soils, which are of more fre-
quent occurrence, may be greatly i'm
proved by the addition Of pure sand or a
light loan. EARLY vegetables are a great
desideratum, and these may be grown on
