Food for Cows.

At late meeting of the New York
Farmers Club, a correspondent as ked
concerning cobs, and whether they are
valuable. Mr.. Carpenter answered yes /;
but they must be cooked DIR. Sylvester
remarked that years ago he tested varl
Gus sorts of food, and proved that cobs,
ground fine with corn, are worth, say
fifteen per cent He also remarked that
other experiments convinced him that
he secured the best milk and most cream
by feeding each animal pure corn meal
at the rate of four quarts a day. For
milk that sold well, he preferred corn
aud cobs ground, and for producing the
greatest quantity, without regard to
quality, he preferred buckwheat. Prof:
Nash said-''The value of cobs must, [
think, depend on how the animal is kept
Two things are requisite: food not only
rich, but of sufficient bulk to produce
proper distention of the stomach. II
You are feeding with something bulky
in itself, probably cobs are Of little help,
but if the food is in condensed form, the
case is quite different.

The Old Dominion, which near nine
years ago went in pursuit IF strange gods,
has, after much suffering for waywardness,
been restored to her place in the Union.
The President, on the 10Th. signed the
admission bill, and in few days her Sen
ators and Representatives will take their
seats lii Congress. 1t is a satisfaction,
that the agony of debate over her case
which afflicted Congress almost from the
opening of the present session is over,
and it Is further satisfactian to know
that there was rejoicing in Richmond
over the readmission; aud we hold it good
omen that the same guns that announced
the entrance Of the Federal army into
that city in 1865 spoke the Joy of the
people over the full restoration of the
commonwealth to her place among the
states. Most earnestly do we hope that
from this time the Virginians may date
new era of peace and prosperity and
devotion to the Union; and if the peo-
pie but do their duty, this hope will be
realized. Free, restored Virginia needs
only enterprise, industry and good faith
on the part Of her people to insure her a
career tar more prosperous and illustrlous
than that which preceded her apostacy.
Slavery proved a greater curse to her
than to her sisters farther south; but
with that removed and her broad acres
and beautiful rivers thrown open to free
lab.r and free commerce, Sic shall realize
the renewal of youth, and none viii re-
joice more heartily over such a consum-
nation than those northern'people whom
she has always considered her enemies
there are many pleasant associations
connected with he name which all
her shining has not suf1iced to destroy.
All hail, restored Virginia ! Wisconsin,.

Tax on Farmers Crops.

The Missouri Republican says on this
subject:
"One of the most absurd facts that
have lately been announced at Washing
ton, i the decision Of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Delano, that farmers who
take their crops to market, and sell them
at retail. are brokers. and must be made
TO pay a brokers tax of ten dollars.
Such an extraordinary decision, coming
at time when farm products, no matter
how sold is barely paying the cost Of
raising it, will not exalt farmers ssti
mate of the present tax laws nor of the
party that made them The ruling
beers particularly on small farmers and
gardeners, for they are the only ones who
sell their products by retail in markets !;
and to charge every one of this class ten
dollars for the privilege of selling his
watermelons, potatoes, and cabbages is a
phase of liberty SO strange and unique as
to deserve the earnest attention of all
whom it may concern.

General Principles of Farming.

General Principles Of Farming.
Whatever may be the nature Of the
soil and situation of the farm, remem-
Der there is no land so good but it may
be exhausted and ruined by poor culture
and there is no land so poor and barren
but it can be rendered fertile, producing
good paying crops.
The true system of farming consists IN
suffering no crop to grow upon your farm
that will so far exhaust the soil as to les
sen the productiveness OF the succeeding
crop, whatever profit such a crop may
bring.
To avoid this, suffer no one crop to
grow two years successfully upon the
same piece of ground, excepting clover
or grass, without the fertlilzlng aid Ct
rich manures to support the strength OF
the soil. and even then, a change OF crops
generally does best.
Every plant derives from the earth tor
its growth such properties as are peculiar
to itself; this plant, when followed sue
cessively for two or more years upon the
same ground will exhaust the soil OF
these properties peculiar to itself, without
.essening its powers TO produce some
other plants. This fact is more striking
or applicable with some plants than
Others fer instance, fax should not be
repeated oftener than once in five years.
To avoid this evil, arrange your farm into
such divisions as will enable you tc I'M
prove "a the varieties of crops your land
may require, in such regular succession
as to form a routine Of 5, 6 or years,
according to the mature, quality and stu
alton of your farm.
If farmers of the northwest were to
follow the preceding principles, what
would be the result? Instead of running
over the entire farm, harvesting to 10
bushels Of wheat per acre, only one-hait
would be under cultivation, and that
would be rich and fertile enough to pro-
duce 20 to 25 bushels. Look st the say
ing of seed and labor!
Instead of all wheat. the farm would
prsduce a variety. Here is where many
fan am more confident every year,
that judicious rotation, using clover as
renovator, by blowing under, IS our
only salvation. \ word to the wise is
sufficient. ". IL. MORRISON.

Cut Feed for Horses.

An acurate farmer has furnished the
Country Gentleman statement of his
experiments with feeding cut feed and
meal TO his horses, accompanied with
weighing and measuring. He cut oat
straw about an inch long with rawbide
cylinder machine, and this chopped straw
is then treated with corn meal and bran
mixed in about equal quantities as to
weight, so that each horse has about a
bashel Of cut feed, and three quarts Of
the meal and bran, twice each day
Sometimes hay is cut instead Of oat
straw, or both are mixed. 1t is found
that 200 pounds per week of this mix
ture Of corn meal and bran, added to the
cut feed will keep pair of working
horses in the best condition. This he Is
sati-fied is less than two-thirds the cost
of keeping them on uncut dry hay and
whole grain. The corn meal alone is not
so good for horses when mixed with
bran. An excellent food is made of
ground oats. The fodder is cut by horse
power on the stormy or spare days ard
stored in large bins, so as to furnish al
ways q surplus on hand

IT S. Clough states that he once
brined and thus thoroughly c'eansed seed
wheat for thirty acres. He took the
small and inferior grain thus distracted
and washed again. From this he sowed
very few bushels, the result from which
was inferior wheat in both quantity and
quality; all the remainder was fine, free
from oats and smut, and produced a
large yield. He then came to the con-
clnsion that 'As We sow, so shall We
reap" and if anybody persists in sowing
smut, and dirt. instead of good, sound.
plump grain, he may expect to reap &C
cordingly.

A Highland county correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette vouches for
the following as the best feed to make
the biggest hog cut Of a pig in twelve
months. Take two parts barley, two of
corn, and one of oats. Grind them to-
gether; then cook and feed cold. This
way of feeding is the cheapest way to
make hogs keep fat from the time they
are pigs, Take any pig of a good i'm
proved breed, and it can be made, in this
manner. TO gain one pound per day until
q year old.

The following method of grating or

formed at any season. Remove a small

A WORD TO WOMEN.

The following is clipped from the
Laws of Life: Very few ladies know
how to appreciate an easy, healthfui
dress. They think their dresses are
loose, when a man or boy put into one
as tight would gasp for breath, and feel
incapable OF putting forth any effort ex
cept to break the bands. Ladies are SO
accustomed to the tight fits OF dressmak-
ers, that they fall all to pisces when
relieved of them. They associate the
loose dress with the bed or lounge. 70
be up, they must stayed be up, and to re-
commend comfortable dress to them is
not to meet a conscious want OF theirs 1t
is great pity none the less. Ii they
could once know what a luxury it is to
breathe deep and full at each respiration,
to feel the refroshment which the sys-
tenn takes on by having the blood emily
ened and sent bounding through tho
arteries and veins, to have the aids to
digestion which such process gives to
have their own strong elastic muscles
keep every organ in place and themsel-
yes erect; If they could for a good while
know this blessed luxury, und then be
sent back into the old. stiff, straight
jackets, they would fume, and fret and
rave IN very desperation IT they could
not get rid Of them. AS it is, they pre-
fer to languish and suffer dreadfuily,
and die young, and leave ali of their
friends, and their husbands and their
little children, and | do not see any
other way but to let them be sick and
die till they are satisfied. If only the
the sinner was the sufferer, it would not
be SO worth while to make great ado
about it, but the blighting of future in
nocent lives which must follow, renders
the false habits Of our women in the
highest degree criminal"
