Col. E. n. Pennebaker for Comptroller

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Oct. 2, IS69.-Our Legis>
lature will convene on Monday next to
consider our great necessities. The re-
storation of suffrage is an accomplished
fact, and has already begun to heal dis
sension and to bring about social and POI
litical amity. The Legislature will have
to devise some means to build up the
credit of the State, and to secure compe-
tent and faithful administration of our
finances. The selection of able fiscal
officers is a matter of the highest mos
ment, and to this matter the attention Of
our honorable Legislature is respectfully
called. We present Col. Z. Il. PenneS
baker as an eminently proper person for
Comptroller of the Treasury. We do so
with confidence, in behalf Of all who
know him and are interested in faithful
administration Of our finances. Col. P.'s
skill and fitness are unquestionable. He
has hid practical experience in all the
more important branches of business. As
a banker and accountant, he has become
thorough in the business which belongs
to the office Of Comptroller, and can bring
to the discharge of its duties practical
readiness and familiarity Of detail not
generally found in public officers. Col.
P. is conspicuous for his integrity, and
has always displayed those qualities
which make men honorable and trust
worthy. Give US Col. p. for Comptroller
and we will witness as great change for
good as can possibly be accomplished by
| one man. TENNESSEE SIZES.

Straw for Horses.
CLARksvrLLE, Ga.

The value of straw as a feeding
substance was never better proved
than by the following fact: A firm
having large number of heavy wag-
on horses, had frequent occasion for
the veterinary surgeon, until they
we're recommended to mix a certain
portion of fine cut straw with the
clover hay. This has been practlced
row for some years, and their bill for
horse .dcctoring is at minimum
The partner of the firm who told me
this, said how advantageous it was
not to be deprived, as they formerly
were, of the use of several horses
to say nothing Of the saving in ex-
pense and loss. The fact is, the
food was too rich or too mucilagi-
nous, for have often been told that
fine cut hay, unmixed with straw
chaf, balls in the stomach, and thus
is, suppose, deprived of the action
of the gastric juices. We know that
too succulent or rich grasses are IN
furious, and no doubt straw chaff
mixed with it acts mechanically, if
not chemically, with advantage. II
would be well for our agricultural
friends to know that for several
thousand horses belonging to the
London General Omnibus Company,
the food is passed through the chaff
cutter with, 1 believe, certain pro.
portion of straw. While spring gra-
zing our bullocks on tares, we NIX
straw with them in their early growth
but as they advance to Towering and
podding, this is not required, be
cause there is much wheat and oats
grown with this, which gets inter
mixed on passing through the chat
machine.

lFrom Che Germantown Ielegrapn'I 's
mast rood to Make Hens Lay

0oot oSo
MaxoR FaEAs: If you think the
following experiment will interest,"
the readers OF your truly valuable
naper. you are at liberty to use all or
any a portion of it it is the result OF
one seasons experience only, but we
have no doub. whstever OF tne em-
ciancv of the food used. 1t Is our
cnsten here in Georgia to feed our
noultrv on corn, as it is more album
dant than any other species of grain.
Last winter procured two barrels
of bone meal, intending to use It fer
irish potatoes and other garden
crops; my wife, however, appropri-
ated seme of it to manuring her roses
in the flower garden, by simply
strewing it on the surface of the
ground around the bushes. The
fowls having free access to the gar
den. were discovered eating the m cal
very eagerly Thinking it might be
of service to them We gave them
some for several weeks, and assure
YOU it was but short time before
the eggs began to come in such num-
bers as we had never before knewn!
If a nest was broken up to prevent a
hen from Matching, it was but a few
days until she was laying again, and
thus it continues until the present
time.
One hen has taken possession OF a
barrel which has some of the bone
meal in it; whether she intends to lay
the barrel full or not time will deter
mine.
NV wife thinks corn and bone-meal
great institutions fer her poultry
yard and very extraordinary in its eff
feet: but as the hens have an unusual
amount of cackling to do. fears they
may bring on bronchitis! This ma
nuriug of hens to make them lay we
think il is original, but we have no
idea of taking out patent for it, and
hence leave the discovery open to
the use of all who may choose to try
it.
Yours respectfully,
