Feeding Whole Grain to Caltle.

1t is an expensive system of man
agemcnt to feed whole grain to any
kind of animals. All kinds Of cereal
grains arc provided with a tough hull
or skin, which the digestive powers OF
most animals will not dissolve con
k~equent'y, if the skin is not broken
before the grain enters the stomach,
the kernels will usually pass off with
the droppipgs, without atfording the
animal that sv allowed the grain any
more nourishment than fragments Of
wood of equal size.
Young horses having sound and
sharp teeth will sometimes crush every
kernel. But old horses with poor
teeth frequently swallow half their
mess of oats without breaking the
skin of the kernels.
When mills are at a distance, and
people will persist in feeding whole
grain, it will always be found more
advantageous to soak the grain at
least twenty.four hours before using
the same.

TO Make Cows Give MIX.

A writer, who says his cow gives
all the milk that is wanted in q family
of eight persons, and from which was
made two hundred and sixty pounds
OF butter this year, gives the follow
ing as his treatment. He says:
If you desire to get a large yield
of rich milk. give your COW, three
times a day, water slightly warm and
slightly sailed, in which bran has
been stirred at the rate of one quart
10 two gallons Of water. You will
find, il you have not tried this daily
practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent. moreimiik i'm
mediately under the effect of it, and
she will become so attached to the
diet as To refuse to drink clear water,
unless very thirsty F; tut this mess she
viii drink almost any time, and task
for more.' The amount of this drink
necessary is an ordinary water pailful
each time, morning, noon and night.
Four hundred pounds of butter are
often obtained from good stock, and
instances are mentioned where the
yield was even at a higher figure"

The Sugar Question.

Economists are discussing the matter as to
the necessity for increasing the amount OF
sugar manufactured in the United States
But few persons have an adequate idea of the
amount consumed annually, and of capital
drained from the country by foreign importa-
tions of this one family necessity. The great
range of climate in the United States unques-
tionably affords the requisite facilities for
producing at least suf1iciency for home con-
sumption, to say nothing ofexportation, The
country looks with much soicitude to the
manufacture of sugar from the beet this has
proved such decided success in France and
other foreign countries, that the hope of its
ultimate profitable introduction in this coun-
try is strongly entertained. correspondent
of the Prairie Farmer discourses on the sugar
question as follows:
1T is stated that forty pounds for each in
habltant of the country is now necessary to
supply our wants, or ], 10000 hogsheads OF
LUZ pounds each and Of this Louisiana
made for us not exceeding $4,000 hogSheads
OF cane sugar last year; the farmers all
through the land added goodly quantity of
maple sugar the sorgo men, alas did moth
Ing, and perhaps never will, though their svr-
up may yet be made more extensively than
ever and the Messrs. Gennert did something,
which hope will hereafter be multiplied a
thousand fold, in beet sugar, leaving the great
bulk of the supply to come from abroad. Now
al tnls sugar at fifteen or sixteen cents, is
worth thirty millions of dollars. Add to this
the money paid for syrup and we have good
~ sum. With whole continent, embracing
all zones from Alaska glaciers to the Florida
everglades, is it not shame that we are com
PEELED to import sugar? We can produce
supply. 4 believe either from cona ~ fro,,

both combined, with little Of the maple for

The New Revenue Law.

There is a probability of some change
in the Revenue laws 1t was thought at
one time the new tax bill would go over
to another session. but its friendsare press
ing it upon the attention of Congress, and
it is probable that it will within few
days become law of the land. The cry
on the part of some has been for cheap
whiskey," and if that class have not been
numerous, they have been clamorous and
exceedingly noisy.
By the provisions of the new tax bill
the entire import on whiskey by direct
and indirect taxes will amount to about y i
gallon It is thought by some that the
change in the rate of tax will increase the
| Government revenue, but we doubt II
facts yet to transpire, will demonstrate
the wisdom of those who entertain that
opinion. 1t is said that a Government
that cannot enforce its laws is beneath con
tempt, and there never has been good
reason, either moral or legal, why whiskey
tax should not have been, like other rev
enue laws, faithfully, firmly and fully en-
forced, and whiskey be made to pay its
legitimate tribute to the Government
There has been one puzzle connected with
this question more intricate than anything
| in Euc}id, and that relates to the general
current rates of Whiskey in the markets
That wIiskey should pay the retailer a
good profit when sold at one fifty per gal
while the Government excise alone is So
is amazing tomany.
| Mr.. Rollins, at the head of the Revenue
office, at Washington, is an able conscien
tious officer, and if all the other officers
connected with the revenue service were
as faithful, honest and proportionately
able, as Mr.. Rollins, the revenue service
would be administered without fear OF
hope of reward" and the collection of thu
whiskey, and other revenue taxes, would
be as sure and certain as any other human
event
1t is said it is only poor lawyer tina
comes into court with his pockets full 0
demurrers. The great tailor at the White
House has come into the revenue service
with his demurrers and Mr.. Rollins has
had the Presidents 'Jours" foisted upol
him in all the most important collection
districts in the United States

And does it not follow as logical conclu-
sion, that if Gen. Forest and other former
guerrilla chiefs, are recognized in full fell
lowship, and endorse such platforms and
as the Committee may adopt,
there will be a political oneness with
northern conservative" soldiers and sail
ors. Besides the conclusion will be legiti-
mate that those self styled conservatives y
have never been, far apart in sympathy
and feeling with our enemies during the
war Of the rebellion.
During the long struggle of our Union
armies toprevent the overthrow ofthe gov
ernment the union cause was continually
embarrassed by "fre in the rear" party
These conservative soldiers and sailors who
now propose holding National Conven-
tion, scent to fifty represent the same spirit
of hostility to the progress of liberal gov
eminent, and the establishment of our
political institutions on basis Of true
freedom and equality
