BONES AID ASHES.

Bones and ashes pass through the
housekeepers hands every day. Wood
is still the cheap fuel in farm houses,
and the value of the ashes is pretty well
understood. They are priced for the
lie they yield, and if there is a surplus
from the soap-making they help the
kitchen garden at the back door. The
bones are generally thrown to the dog
and lost Now. if the careful house
wife would save the bones as regularly
as the ashes, she would practice wiser
economy, and help her kitchen garden
twice as fast. Bones are worth twice
as much as ashes for manure, if Dissolved
and the ashes will reduce them. Put
both into barrel In the cellar, if you
please, and after mixing them half and
half, keep them constantly moist with
soap-suds, the hotter the better. The
suds should not be poured or in such
quantities as to leach the ashes. In a
few months the tones will be disintegrat-
ed, and the whole mass may then be
mixed, and will make an excellent fer
tilizer for the flower border or the kitch-
en- garden.

SPRING CARE OF COWS.


Dairymen during the past few years
have very generally adopted the plan Of
having cows come in early in the spring
and there is wisdom in so doing. for a
greater product of milk is obtain
ed and the health of the COW better
preserved. Farmers have learned that
by this means, milk fever may be avoid
ed, and that garget. caked udder, etc.
which very naturally detract from the
! prospective profits on the dairy, may be
averted They understand that when a
COW comes in during the spring, while
kept under dry feed, there is but little
| danger from disease, and that when this
event takes place after the animal has
been turned to grass, and the weather
| has become hot, the case becomes haz-
ardous. Cows that come In this season
Of the year, need special care, however
or they will not yield throu.s b the season
the expected profit. Food amounting
| In nutritive qualities to an equivalent Of
the milk secreted must be given, or there
will be draft upon the system reducing
flesh and strength, and so checking the
general vigO. and animation of the
constitution. that full recovery viii
not be made during the entire season.
Cornmeal and corn in the ear is fed a |
great deal by dairymen in the spring, |
and it is one of the best grain feeds that
can be given to make flesh and fat, but |
one of the poorest as direct milk pro-
Queer. OF course, COW in a good |
condition will secrcet more milk than a |
poor one, and so far as this goes, bran.
mill stuff or middlings, cotton seed cake, |
meal and oatmeal are good milk, produc
ers, but COW fed upon these will not in |
crease in flesh as rapidly as if fed upon
corn.
Wheat bran, which is one of the very |
best feeds for milk producing, will not |
fatten steer. Dat or cornmeal mixed |
with bran and middlings fed together are
profitable. one to keep up the strength |
of the system. and the other to produce
milk.
Farmers who have roots to feet at |
this time, are wise and fortunate; roots |
are good regulators, and put the animal
In the right condition while upon hay, |
to change to pasture feed.
We regret that farmers do not more |
generally appreciate the value Of roots
for stock feed, and give their cultiya
ton more attention.-Nhio Farmer.

SEED CORN,


Corn intended for planting should be
most carefully examined and tested be-
fore the time Of using comes. There is
probably no grain grown In the west
upon the seed of which so little atten-
ton is bestowed saved IN most cases, at
the same time the crop SIS harvested, and
thrown into a pile in the loft Of tile sta
bic, where it receives the dampness colr
stantly ascending from the animgls kept
below. or else put into a box or barrel
and left in any place, where it will be
out of the way, and in many cases not
selected at all, except from the crib
when the time for using comes, and then
planted without testing in the least
butts and tippS all shelled and planted
alike-and in these days it is generally
done with corn planter, the best of
which i often miss if not very care
fully watched, we see no reason to Won
der why it is that so many fields yield
but from twenty to thirty bushels of
nubbins, and soft corn at that. We
would not plant more than one-half of
each ear, that half of course to be taken
from the center of the ear. and the ut
termost care should be taken to have
that come from ears that will grow
when planted then if a full quantity Of
seed is put in and the plants cared Tor af-
forwards, a crop will be obtained that ii
will be some satisfaction to gather, and
from which it will not be difficult to save
good seed for the next seasons use.

Virginia Gases in the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the United States on
the 9th inst, rendered two important decis-
ions. The first settles the question of the va
lldlty Of the cession of the counties of Jeffer-
son and Berkey, Virginia, to West Virginia,
In favor Of the latter, on the ground that the
question vas decided by the election of the
people of those counties on the subject, the al
legation of fraud being not sustained. The
second was in the case of McVeigh, citizen
OF Richmond, Va, against whom proceeding
was instituted by the United States Circuit
Court for Virginia to con6scate his property In
Alexandria. He appeared in that court by
counsel, but the judge struck out his claim and
answer, on the ground that he was rebel and
had no standing in court The Supreme Court
gives very decided repulse to this kind Of
justice, holding that the liability to be sued
carries with it the right Of defense, and 'that
different result would be a blot on the juris-
prudence and civilization of the country -
The case, therefore, was remanded, with in
structions to the court below to proceed in it in
conformity with law The court made SINH
lar decision In the case of Alex Y. P. Garnett,
of the District of Columbia, the questions in
volved being precisely the same as presented
in the case of McVeigh.

France.

There is no apparent change in the situation
Of affairs at Paris, with the exception that
there is another alarm of imminent hostilities
between the government troops and the insur-
gents, who are posted On the heights of Mont
martre. There is evidently much discomfort in
Paris, and great diversity of political opin-
IONS IL is stated that Ducrot, Chanzy and
Faidherbe are working for the empire, and that
Bonapartist meetings are numerous in the
provinces.
The war indemnity assessed upon the city of
Paris, amounting to $40,000,000, has been
paid. The entire sum vas conveyed to the
German headquarters at Versailles on Febru-
airy 18th, and was composed half of drafts
upon Berlin and the other half in notes of the
Bank Of France, inclosed in two sealed iron
chests,

Election Day.


The vote of this county on the question of
Railroad subscription will be taken again on
next Saturday, the 18th inst. The arguments
in favor of it have been fully and strongly pre-
sented through the columns of the press of
this place, and the voters ought to be prepared
to vote Understandings upon it. We suppose
that many who appreciate the importance of
the construction Of these roads will vote against
the subscription under the confident expecta-
ton that they will be built even though the
subscription of this county be defeated. This
is dangerous experiment, and such hopes
may prove delusive.
As we have endeavored, on former occasions,
to demonstrate, nothing can be lost by the sub.
scription, as it will be made, if made at all
upon the condition that the money subscribed
be expended within the county, and this sub.
scription would ensure the expenditure within
the county, in the construction of these roads
of more than million of dollars. On the con.
trary, if the subscription be defeated, these
roads may never be built at all, and the golden
opportunity that was presented will be lost
and, it may be, forever. Those who decline to
avail themselves of it may have cause to regret
it as long as they live They should consider
well before casting their vote.
Of one thing we are confident, and that is,
that those who will vote for the county sub
scription will NEVER HAVE CAUSE TO
REGRET IL.
2 On the contrary, those who will vote against
it, may haze serious cause to regret 1t.
