Sailing Mich Cows,

William Egger, Swiss dairyman of
experience. states the method practiced
in Switzerland by the best stock keepers
in sailing stock. He says cows should
be sailed early every morning, and if they
are fed in the sable the salt should be Civ
en- before foddering. Sailing in this way
improves their appetite they drink with
more regularity, are kept in better health,
and give more milk than when sailed in
the usual way as practiced by dairymen
in America. He thinks it very injurious
to salt mich cows only once or twice
week, as they viii lick too much for the
day. To have stock to do well, they
must be fed with regularity, every day
alike, and never give too much of any one
thing at one time.
He says, throwing little salt before
the cows in the morning, is mnch better
than allowing them to have free access to
it during the day or at all times, as they
chose to take it because, as it not taken
with regularity, they will not drink with
regularity, which has very important in
fuence in lessening the average yield of
milk. Cows. he says, should never be
salsed after taking water, and then have
no chance to drink for hours, as the irri-
tation, on account cf thirst will of itself,
depreciate the quality of milk and lessen
the quantity. These facts he says he
learned from one of the best stock keepers
in Switzerland, and has found, by repeat
ed experiments in his own practice, to be
adopted by dairymen in sailing cows, in
order to get the most milk, and, at the
same time, keep them in good health.

TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.

The following excellent extract is from
a speech delivered by the Hon. Pierre
Soule on the bill authorizing women to
| act as sole traders -
s'When reject on the conduct of
many married men in California-ther
faitnlessness to every VOW which they
made at the altar-how completely they
| fail in the performance of their duties
how virtuous and industrious, faithful and
patient women are imposed upon by
worthless brutes of husbands, as great
| tyrants at home, as drunkards and debauch-
ed abroad, my respect for the sex prompts
me to do all within my power to protect
her rights and secure her happiness.
II love woman I have loved her all
my life, through boyhood, youth, man
hood, and mature years. expect to
love her all my life, and dying, to be
found faithful to the same high and inspir-
ing sentiments. For amid all the varied
scenes, temptations, struggles and hopes
of existence, one star brighter than all
others has, lighted and guided me onward
If ever | had any high and noble
ambition the exciting energy has been in
the approving smile coming from the eye
of WOMAN. md l judge her affection is
this upon others.
"Geltle in her affection, yet mighty
through her influence, her medium of rule
is as powerful as the ballot box, and she
only needs the protection of law against
those who have no law in their habits and
propensities. She has ruled me from my
boyhood with the soft and winning inhu-
ence of her virtue, not her beauty. re-
member my first love my baby affections
atsfour years of age. [ have been in love
nearly every month of my life since save
the dark and rayless days and years
which succeeded the desolate heart and
made the heart too desolate. And never,
sir, while [ remember my mother, long
since in her gravel remember the nigh t
she died-never, while [ recollect my
sister and the abuse that might have been
theirs never WI lis hold In my memory
one other-and her memory is all that is
left of me-shall refuse to give lay
vioce and influence and vote in favor Of
measures necessary to protect and cherish
the fairer and better portion OF creation,
against the passion, neglect and abuse of
my sex, I hope the bill may pass"

when Ought Lime TO be Applied

Upon this question there seems to be
wide difference of opinion even among our
practical men. In answering the above
question there are several important items
in the action Of lime which we should keep
in view. Lime will hasten the decompo-
sition Of inert inorganic matter. This
fact should lead us to suppose that it.
should be applied to the sod before it is
turned under for corn, for at no other
time does the soil contain so much organ-
ic material which must be decomposed be-
fore it can benefit our crops. I know
that various learned authorities may
and have been quoted to prove that lime
does not hasten the decay of vegetable
matter. Morton, in his work on Soils,
uses the following language writers
on agriculture have stated that lime has
tens the decay of vegetable matter
whereas the fact is, that it retards the
process of the decomposition of vegetable
matter" If lime is mixed with strong
dry straw, it will preserve it for many an
indefinite length of time but when the
same straw is mixed with earth and por-
ton of lime Incorporated with the pile, it
will increase the rapidity Of the compost
ton.
Another important item to remember is,
that lime drives off ammonia from partial
ly decayed and fermenting manures.-
From this it would seem that lime should
be applied only several years after or be-
fore an application of manure.
1t is true that fresh lime may be used
with advantage in compost heap with
fresh manure. provided enough earth is
added to absorb the ammonia so liberia
ted. 70 convince any one that lime will
expel ammonia, and it will soon be evil
dent enough to convince even the most
dubious.
Another very evident point is. that
lime requires some time to act, and Of
course it should be applied some time be-
fore it is expected to act on the crop.
The time which must elapse before this
action begins seems to vary much with the
lime from different quarries from some
it seems to act almost as quickly as ma
nure, and from others It requires several
months before its action can be seen.
After several years experience and ex-
pertinent, am satisfied that the best time
for me to apply lime is, on the sod the
fall before poughing for the corn crop in

ENGLISH LANGUAGE FOR TELEGRApHING =
There is no other spoken language SO cheap

countries. The same amount of lnforma-
ton can be transmitted in fewer English
words than French, German, Italian, or
any other European language. In Ger
many, and Holland especially, it is coming
to be common thing to see kilograms in
English, to save expense and insure pre-
