MAKE WAY FOR THE FIsH.-The Wing, IN
one of its recent pleasant articles on sporting
spoke of the great deprivation OF the popua-
ton lying on the rivers by the stopping OF hsh
by the, dams on those streams. La early days
they were blessed with an abundance OF fish,
including shad and rock, which assembled the
streams in spring to spawn and refresh them
selves 10 the limpid running waters alter many
months of hayward and perilous existence
in the salt seas The dams multiplied and
limited the extent of their inland journey by
degrees, until now there is but little chance tor
them above tide water. This is great atfilc-
ton to the fish, and hardly less so to the up
per river" people, who hold these visitors from
the sea In great esteem.
Indeed, the right of way to these fish is a
sort of political right, and as the people are
equally interested with the fish in its being Sc
cured to them, their claims assume dignity
and force that can hardly be resisted
The question is. how shall the way be opened
10 the fish? The Wing called attention to the
''fsh-ladders" used in England and some parts
of Europe to enable the "fnney tribe" to as
cend the dams The exact mode of construc-
lion of these appliances it did not understand,
but suggested that it could be readily ascer-
tanned. TIE attention OF the conSlderate
President OF the James River and Kanawha
Company was thus called TO this interesting
subject, and we are gratifed 20 see that he has
set on foot an inquiry on the subject, IN order
10 sec what can be done to give the fish tree
passage towards the head waters. -Rach. DlS.

- SELEcrING Cows.-One of the most difficult
things for person to do in selecting cow Is
to tell whether he has found good one ooine
one in Vermont, who has had much experience
in this business, offers the following excellent laea
on the subject. They are we'll worthy OF a
careful consideration; -,
z 7.'First. I get broadside view OF the animal
MT The distance of about two rods, as have
not;ced for wears that there was great SINH
+ larity-in the general proportions OF all first
class mixers. being very small In glrth just
. back Of their forward legs, as compared with
p The girtf Just forward of their hips. l never
knew first3rate mixer, of any breed, not thus
proportioned; SO that if this form is wanting in
an animal recommended to me, L do not care
ltoleok at her more, unless L want breeder
Tor some other purpose than the dairy. For
breeding oxen should want cow OF reverse
proportions. I. e., larger girth forward.
| next feel the sizs. OF the milk veins, and
trace them to their entrance into the chest,
which, 10 superior COWS, are large, admitting
the ball of the largo finger; If divided or sub
divided, as is sometimes the case, judge OF
the size of each ori6ee, as Fcare less for the
vein itself than the ori6ce. Next | examine,
by sight aud touch, the udder or bag, which
must be capaeious in order to hold much milk
with teats wide apart and free from large seed
warts, or sores OF any kind. then inquire
how long she goes dry before calving, as
don't want family cow to give milk less than
iorty-six weeks out Of every ffty-two; also, as
to the quality of milk; and to close, L milk her
