FatteniMg Farrow Cows.

TINS is often attended with great and
unnecessary expense OF feed, simply be-
cause the proprietor does not understand
what kind of management such animals
require, in order to tatten well and in the
shortest possible period of time. Young
tarmers-and sometimes old ones, also
appear to be in doubt whether q farroW
cow will or will not fatten as well while
she gives milk, and many very intelligent
men have continued to milk farrow COW
until she was almost ready for the butcher,
and have battered themselves that the
cow was Just as fat as she would have
been had she not been milked. But no
theory can be more absurd.
No COW, or female of any kind of ami
NAL, can grow fat, or fleshy, while giving
milk, one.half as fast as If they were not
milked When there is good flow of
milk, little or no fat is seoreted. And
whyS Simply because all the nutriment
in the food which they consume, which
would form fat or flesh, goes into the milk
pail Therefore, the sooner we discontinue
TO milk farrow COW, when we have con-
cluded to fatten her, the sooner she will
be ready for the shambles, and the greater
will be the amount of tallow and fesh in
her carcass
These suggestions apply more particu-
larly 70 spring and summer If q farroW
cow is in tolerable good condition, in the
winter, and the calculation is to make
beef OF her the next summer, or the next
autumn, she may be milked All'Winter, pro.
vided she be well fed. But she should be
f" dried oil before she is turned to grass.
Then by allowing such cows 70 feed on
good grass during the summer, they will
make taif beef early in autumn by feeding
them only few bushels of meal But II

Let farmers remember that II they gain

time to discontinue milking depends very

Conclusive Evidence In favor of HOsfet-
ter'S Stomach Bitters.

W, H. REESE, a leading druggist in Monticello,
Ill, in letter of june 9, 1868, writes to this eff
feet - Having sold Hostetter's Bitters for the
past four years, cannot but speak OF the article
ss being the best tonic and dlpetiSer extant Dur
ing the ague season of 1866, l could not keep a
sufficient stock on hand to supply my customers
In fact your Bltters was as staple as QliRiRe,
learn that physicians prescribe II ali over the
western country. Indeed, great many families
htnk ney are not safe without your invaluable
tonic.n
j. X. WITHERsPooN Esq, magistrate of Ker-
shaw county, sc, states under date April 3D. 1868
that he has used the Bitters constantly in his own
family for the previous two years. He first tried
the preparation when suffering from exhaustion
produced by severe attack Of fever. Before the
first bottle was finished he experienced a remark
able change for the better. He had tried brandy
at the outset, but found that did him more harm
than good. In one month from the time he com
menced using the Bitters his health, strength and
appetite were restored. He had recommended
the article to others in like circumstances and
never known II to fail, and had found it perfect
SPECIFIC for chills and lever. ...
MIR. SAMUEL YOUNG, of Clarion, Pa, under
date April d, 1865, certfes that he was complete
ly cured of " enc fthe most distressing attacks
OF dyspepsia that ever afflicted any mortal" by
three bottles of the Bitters, after "varous other
remedies had proved powerless." Restored to
perfect health, he thanks " that excellent prepa-
ration for the result"
DR., G. M. SPENCER. of Brush Creek, Perry Co.
Ala, writing thence Feb 8, 1868, says ~ have
used your stomach Bitters for several years in
my practice, and fiud them superior to most of

the proper quantity, retaining the other
portion. Then he gives them the milk
TO drink, and waits until they begin 70
lick the pail, when he has no trouble In
obtaining the remainder. He has tried
meal, salt and various things, but found
nothing TO produce such an effect as sour
milk.
We cannot but believe from our expert.
ence with COWS that both these gentlemen
are in fault as to the theory Of messing
while milking. Many cows that are in the
habit OF receiving messes will hold up
their milk when 1t is not furnished A
lew years ago while travelling in illinois
we visited the milking yard of a gentle
man who had recently moved into that
State and started dairy, and from not
more than one.half the twenty-five COWS
could he get full mess at milking, The
cows had been picked up one in a place,
the most of them purchased from Hoosiers
who kept but one or two, and practiced
messing whilst milking. BY no means
save giving each COW her wonted mess,
could milk be obtained, and for this reason
after few weeks trial he gave up the busi.
ness and sold his cows. SO far as our
own experience Of about twenty years goes
we have met with like results. ...T D..
Where a single COW is kept, messing at
milking may be got along with without
much trouble, as sufficient feed for one is
easily obtained, but in large dairy we
should seriously question the propriety of
such an arrangement Our mode was al
ways 10 mess or give grain after milking,
Keeping 1t out Of sight until after the milk
was obtained, and If by any excitement
they held II up, the fluid was retained as
q punishment for the act.
An animal can be very easily taught TO
understand your wishes, and by adopting
q regular system of management they will
fall in with the arrangement and be as
prompt in the fulfllment of their part as
the superior party.
The question has been considerably dis
cussed whether animals reason from cause
to effect, but be that as it may, theyhave in
stinct enough to realize that certain things
follow the performance of others, or, for
instance, they will come to the. yard
promptly at certain hour each day when
they are accustomed to receive mess, and
this same instinct or exercise of reason,
will cause them TO understand that the
mess cannot be obtained until they have
yielded to the mixer.
The great advantage of messing after
milking is this; If circumstances are such
that the feed cannot be given on certain
occasions, no trouble arises from it, while
on the other hand there will very likely
be a scanty yield of milk.-Americdn

Frank Blalr's After Dinner Speech al
Long Branch. -.

A New York dispatch of the 9th gives
the following particulars Of Frank BIair's
fdsoo at Long Branch
During the banquet of the Army of the
Gulf, last night, when called on he braced
himself against the table, and began his
harangue with closed eyes He said that
not one word had been spoken about those
who were once, and are, our brothers. He
would say one word for the people who
had been our enemies. He knew that
when he spoke Of them before soldiers, he
spoke TO magnSnimous and generous
court that those against whom we con-
tended, those whom we asporsed as rebels
and traitors, and over whom we had
tIiumphed, were great and generous poo
pie, and well worthy OF our best steel.
Turning 70 Admiral Farragut, who polite
ly bowed acquiesonce, Gen. Blair con-
tinued "We have heard the praises of
Farragut, Sheridan and others to night,
We will yet hear of Lee pronounced In a
louder tone and exulting man
nerl and of Stonewall Jackson The
General articulated the name of
this distinguished rebel with his
voice pitched at its highest key. Kisses !;
cries Of Order" " Traitor" dSit down."
Sit down." Put him out" "Shame."l
Gen. Blair was not discouraged, but
said, in naughty manner: "Does any
body dissentf Is there any dissent ?"
Yes, sir, there is." "I do, sir; I do.
My name is Maj. Robert A. Hsggerty,
sir" lSensation. A pause followed. which
was almost immediately broken by cries
of Don't hear him." "Shut up" &c. .r.
Gen. Blair--"I do not ask TO be heard
do not beg for hearing; l never have,
and never WILL"
After the widest confusion and excite
ment had lasted about ten minutes, Admi-
raj Farragut who had been doing his ut
most to restore harmony, finally secured
attention, and good-naturedly said that, as
the meeting had asked Mr. b. to speak,
they ought to hear him patiently.
Capt Montgomery, Of the navy, said
Mr.. Chairman, call Mr. Blair to order.
There is an article in our bylaws which
forbids any political discussions or ha.
rangues at any Of our meetings. ! call
upon the CHAIR TO enforce that rule"

A copy WAS shown him, he read the
clause alluded to by Capt. Montgomery,
and then addressed Mr.. Blair: "Yes,
Mr.. Blair, l call you to order, because our
bylaws do not permit any political speech
es at any OF our meetings. Intentionally
or otherwise, you have introduced poll
tics"
Blair, with an idiotic chuckle, resumed
his seat.
In answer to the remark of reporter,
that his remarks startled and displeased
the assemblage, he replied ayes, d-nit
knew could fetch them, and did it."
He winked very significantly, as he con-
cluded this sentence.
This morning, the feeling against Mr..
Blair Is very bitter. The majority of the
officers of the army and navy of the Gulf
say they have been. insulted. Many wild
rumors are atioat ....
