Gimme of Pasture for Cattle.

This is a subject of controversy. Some
contend that il is better for stock to have fire.
quent change from stale to fresh feed during
the grazing season. It's utility will depend
somewhat upon the varieties Of grass which
the pastures contain, and The convenience of
the proprietor Small fields are more expen-
siye in fences than larger ones because there
are more Of them to keep in repair That
item, therefore, is an inconvenience. A sud-
den change Of diet with cattle, always, to
some extent, damages their stomaohs aud bow
els Taken from shorter and drier grass, and
put on to flush heritage. is apt to sour them.
and while under such operation the iattenng
beast loses flesh, or at least does not gain it,
and the COW loses in her usual flow of milk.
This we have known from repeated trials.
Not that cattle should not be changed FROM
poor feed to better, but whether in the small
fields which are to keep them through the
grazing season, and with an abundance Of feed
it is not better to let them range over all of
them at will, aud enjoy the whole oft as they
choose
We incline to the latter. Cattle are quite
local in their attachments. They best like
places to which they are accustomed They
also like o variety in their food Large fields

Henry Noble, Of Pittslield Mass, an ex.
tensiye dairyman, says according to his expe-
rience, the best food for cows is rye, corn and
oats, ground together in equal parts and fed
mixed with cut hay, moistened very much in
the same manner in which feed for horses is
generally prepared, and given at the rate Of
four quarts day to each animal. This diet
produces good quantity of rich quality OF
milk, while the COW is constantly improving
in flesh and strength, and therefore becoming
more valuable Cows fed upon oil cake and
bran will give great quantity of milk of in.
ierior quality, at the expense OF poor and
weak animal, which is constantly depreciating
in value.

WHITE ANTS. IA wood boring species of
ant, which has long been on the Islands, but
not attracted particular attention, is getting
rather destructive of late. The furniture
men have had occasion to notice the ant
from articles brought to them for repairs, as
both hard and soft wood alike are attacked
by them. Sofas, bureaus, picture frames,
and other furniture has been eaten by them,
so that nothing but q thin shell remained of
the parts. So also timbers in houses, fences,
and even growing trees, show marks of these
voracious ants, to those who have paid any
attention to the matter The males are red
and winged, and at this season of the year
fly into the house in swarms, attracted by
the lamps. Mr.. c. E. Williams believes them
TO be the same ant which is SO destructive to
timber in Australia, and that they have come
hither in the Sydney lumber and houses i'm
ported from there fifteen years ago. Our
common black ant is an enemy to the white
ants and speedily clean them out.

Rex VS.. Mary Kokai, accused of the muir
der of Kokai, Chinaman, by poison, at Ko-
loa, on the 18th of October, 1867. The trial
was commenced on Monday, 10th inst, and
would probably take up the whole week
The poison (arsenic,) was put into a bowl Of
rice, which was eaten about Q O'Clock, and
the party died between and 2 O'Clock of The
same day. There are great many witnesses,
and the evidence is entirely circumstantial
1t appears that about ten days before Kokai
died, Alona, another Chinaman, bought ar
senic of DR.. Smith; that about week before
he died, Alona was seen giving Mary bottle
containing white powder, like pia, and that
Alona was not present when the arsenic was
given.

FIRE AT KALIHI.-On Monday night last,
the house of Pohaku, the native missionary
preacher at Kalihi was destroyed by fire.
The alarm was given at IL o'clock and the
neighbors aroused, but no means were at
hand to save the premises. The house was
small frame one, bought some months since
by his congregation, and moved near the
church for his residence. He is blind man,
and was sleeping alone in the house at the
time it caught fire. he was aroused from
sleep by feeling of heat, and went outside
on the verandah with his mat and pillows,
but finding il warm there, finally went over
to the church, about forty feet distant, to
finish his nights rest. By this time, the
cause Of his uneasiness became apparent by
the bursting out of the flames, and had the
house been thatch one, We believe the blind
preacher would have persisted, ere he could
have been aroused in time to escape The
church was in great danger of catching fire,
but was saved.

NATURALIzArIoN.-The progress ofthe re-
cognition of the American doctrine in Eu-
rope is favorable. Secretary Seward and Min
lister Bancroft are quietly obtaining treaty
affer treaty from European Governments,
guaranteeing equal immunities abroad for
American citizens of foreign birth. 1t will
soon be the law Of all Germany that no native
Of German State who has become bona
fde American citizen shall be held TO mill
tary service under the old allegiance. There
has been less trouble on this score. latterly,
with other European Powers, but all will
gradually concede the same point The
English Ministry, who were thought the most
likely to resist, are reported to view the ap-
peal of our Government favorably, and we
may confidently anticipate that Minister
johnson will be able to effect a satisfactory
agreement on the subject

THE RETURN FROM THE DERBy.-The most
extraordinary scene probably ever witnessed
on Derby night took place on that portion
of the road lying between Chaplain Common
and the Elephant and Castle. Owing to the
large number of vehicles of every description
that went down to EPSON in the morning it
was anticipated that considerable confusion
would occur after dusk in evening on that
part of the road near to London; and to
provide for the contingency strong body
of the l., 2 and V divisions of police, both
horse and foot, were placed along the road
between the above-named points. From
seven to eight o'clock continuous double
line of vehicles came streaming into town
and were kept in tOlerably good order by the
police, moving on slowly but steadily At
about eight O'Clock, however, when the traf-
fic began to grow very thick, the leading
horses in four-horse van, when near the
Horns at Kensington, fell down, completely
blocking up and stopping the traffic for about
ten minutes before they could be got upon
their legs. This ten minutes did all the mis-
chief The drivers of some of the carriages
behind impatient TO get on, broke the line
which had hitherto been well kept. The
example was speedily followed by others,
and in few minutes, for the last two miles
along the road, all was confusion and uproar.
In every direction might be heard the crash
ing in of tailboards and panels; wheels got
locked tOgeiner, anu lot nearly ana nOuT
vans, omnibuses, barouches, brOughams,
cabs, wagonettes, carts of all descriptions,
costermOngers, donkey barrows, ETC., were
mixed up together in one apparently inextri-
cable mass. Good humor, however, prevail
ed in all quarters. Many of the occupants of
the vehicles, especially those outside the
vans and omnibuses, seemed to enjoy the
scene, and beguiled the time by singing some
of the popular airs of the day, and unmerci-
fully chaffiing those who showed any disposi-
ton to grumble at the state of affairs. To
add to the excitement and confusion of the
scene, the crowds of spectators assembled
along the road to witness the return home,
always very large, was, on this occasion, ow-
ing probably to the fitness of the evening,
nearly double the usual number and it was
extraordinary that no serious accident hap
pened. During the time the block took
place, bands of roughs and idle boys amused
themselves by pelting the more respectable
occupants of the vehicles with small paper
bags of flour, evidently made up aud sold
for the purpose. This gave rise to several
fights, during the continuance of which the
light fingered gentry were plying q good
trade. By dint of great exertion on the part
of the police, after nearly an hours delay,
they got the vehicles again in motion, and
they slowly pursued their way toward the
Elephant" AS late as eleven O'Clock, one
unbroken line of vehicles was still pouring
into town, and it was evident it would be
long after midnight before the traffic would
cease.
