that will, Of necessity, occur under this
new amendment. The amendment
itself is sufficient to place the ballot in
the hands of the negroes throughout the
Government without the consent Of State
Conventions. We, therefore, think our
Constitutional Convention acted in haste
that was both foolish and disgracefal, by

party, when such degradation was
not asked for by the party itself.
Our enemies are made to laugh in their

Selecting Seed Corn.

Some farmers are exceedingly careless
about their corn for seed, selecting from the
crib in planting time, or depending upon a
more proyident neighbor for supply. This
is all wrong. A good selection cannot be
made in the first place, and running about
getting perhaps variety Of kinds, and some
not Of the best, is contrary TO all ideas Of in
provement. Generally, corn for seed is picked
off previous to harvesting the crop. In this
case, the earliest ears can be found, but not
so fair and good sample as at husking time,
provided this is done in season, and the corn
is nicely cured.
Corn thus saved should be braided by husks
into suitable traces, and hung up in cool
airy place to dry, and will most usually be
sure to terminate.
The seed corn can be much improved by a
judicious selection, and if farmer is not sat
isfod with the kind used, he can generally
find something more to his mind, by paying a
little attention to the matter
Earliness, with fair size Of ear, is desirable,
and by proper selection and cultivation, can
readily be obtained The specimens cxhib.
tied at our fairs are usually very fine, and
afford a ft opportunity to compare with our
own kinds, and if cxcelIing in any respect,
the fact can be ascertained, aud advantage
taken Of the same, for our benefit.

Saving Seed Corn.

An Illinois farmer and correspondent Of
the Country Gentleman tells that paper how
he shall save his seed corn, as follows As to
saving seed corn, intend to do it in the fol-
lowing manner, and recommend others to do
the like. In course of week or ten days
or as soon as the outer husks of corn ears
have attained pale straw color, | shall send
or 60 myself through the field and select the
largest and earliest ears in sufficient quantity
for seed for my own use next year. These
ears will be spread in the sun, say one or two
days, until the husks are toughened so they
will stick to the cob The corn will then ho
husked, taking care to leave enough of husks
on each ear TO handle and hang them up by.
The ears will then be tied together, two and
two, and strung over poles in dry and hot
loft or garnet, where they will remain until
the corn is thoroughly dry and the cob is
seasoned through, Then, in course of the
fall, the corn will be carried to the smoke
house and smoked as brown as a berry, and
there be suffered to stay until wanted in the
spring, and Of course getting second smok.

the temperature of the smoke house never

An Improvement in Setting MILK.

MeSSrs. Editors The present season
have adopted new plan Of setting milk for
butter, which think is a very great improve
ment on the old method, and one which,
think as it comes to be better known, will be
in general use. The method is this
Each milking is put into a single tin vat,
made of the heaviest cross tin. The watts
are 90 by 40 inches and II inches deep, with
J inch wire around the top, and handles
at each end. These watts set into water-tight
wooden boxes, with an inch space on the bot
tom and three inches on the sides for cold
water. use water from well at temper
ature of As degrees. If one has running
water it would save labor. Five watts are
necessary, and with this number milk can be
kept As hours and have one vat ahead ready
for use or 60 hours IL skinned Just before
using. The wooden boxes are of clear inch
pine, painted inside and out, the watts painted
on the outside. l am milking 90 cows and
heifers, and find that they seldom ill the watts
over eight inches deep; so / conclude that
watts the size Of mine would do for n 80 COW
dairy, as | have learned that cream will rise
as well when the milk is 10 to 10 inches deep,
If kept at the right temperature. My tin
watts cost "a so each, my wooden ones SO ;
total cost, including painting and metal
fawcets for drawing of the water, not quite $40,
Now for the advantages 1t is much ca
sier straining the milk is not over one-third
the labor to skim and wash the watts; the but
ter is Of better quality, Il have not seen a
white cup thus far y and when the mer-
curry is up among the ai'letieS, as it has been
for weeks together this season, more butter
can be made. On this point cannot yet
speak definitely, but if make as much as by
the old method | shall be nell satisfied II
pieaseS the pomea. There is not a stack of
80 to so rafting tin pans to be skinned,
washed, scalded, and aired, but single pan
which can SKINNED, emptied and ready for
use in 20 minutes.
In this neighborhood there are four dairy
men owning 100 COWS, using the vat, and
others will do so next season. There is no
patent-no farm rights to be paid for --and
all who choose can use them. s. W. in

Watering Cattle in Stables.

G. ii. Wood writes the following sensible
lettef on this subject to the Country Gentle
man;
/. l will admit that cattle confined in

pleasant, but not otherwise My cattle dc
not relish the idea of going out Of warm
stable to drink in a severe storm, and will
not do il unless they get more thirsty than
cattle should ever be allowed to get. In
most localities it is quite impossible to keep
water in severe cold weather above the ireez.
ing point. have had a good many years
experience in watering cattle with ice water,
and am thoroughly convinced that the practice
is not conducive to the comfort Of the ami
NAL or the profit Of the owner. Thousands Of
tons Of hay and grain are annually consumed
in the Northern States to raise the tempera-
ture of ice water to that Of the animal sys-
tenn. This food could be more proftably en-
ployed in producing growth and flesh.
have still another objection to the practice Of
watering in the yard Where many head

more extensive than usual, the msster ami.

comfort Of the smaller ones. And finally, |

should have drink after their last meal in the
evening. would rather 60 to bed any
night without my supper than without, wat

2. | object to your mode Of using tubs,
for these reasons The tubs and connecting
pipes are expensive, and liable to get out oil
order. They would be very much in the way
and unless fitted with close covers, be at all
times filled up with whatever the cattle were
fed on, thus deteriorating the quality of the
water, choking up the connecting pipes, and
making much labor to clean them out.

has been in practice the last winter, and has

With regard to the treatment Of the farm
stock Of New England | must express the
opinion that there has been very markeC
improvement within the last twenty or thirty
years. Henry Colman remarked. in 1874
that the treatment farm stock received as 0
general rule, would rot be an inapt subject Of
presentment by the grand jury And he was
right. | remember the time well when expo.
sure to cold and storm was thought to tougher
an animal.
Our climate is severe, and more or less ex.
posure to it on the part Of both man and
beast is inevitable. But still farmers now
see, more clearly than they used to do, that
kind treatment is the true policy that there
is no economy in exposure to cold; that. as Q
matter of dollars and cents, the rule Of hui
manity Is the only profitable one.
Our agricultural papers have no doubt
contributed largely to this improved condition
of things throughout the country, and they
ought to have a large share of the credit of it
Still there are individual eases Of cruelty
aud hardship, as | suppose there always vii
