CUTTING FoDDER.-The editor of tt
New England Farmer says:

CUTTING FoDDER.-The editor OF the
New England Farmer says:
Our own practice in preparing feed for
thirty head of stock-one half being
horses-is to cut all the fodder, straw,
meadow hay, if we have any, corn stalks,
and best hay. This is cut by horse
power standing in the barn floor. This
occupies from one to two hours twice q
week, to cut enough for the thirty head Of
stock.
A portion of this mass, enough for feed
ing twenty-four hours, is spread upon the
barn floor, sprinkled with water, a very
little salt, and strewed with such grain as
is used this is principally shorts. Layer
after layer is laid on in this way, until a
sufficient amount is collected to last
twenty-four hours. The heap stands
twelve hours is then thoroughly turned
over, and remains twelve hours
more, when it is ready to be fed out. II
the barn in which the heap is made up is
moderately warm one, all the fodder will
by this time be impregnated with the
taste of the grain and the aroma of the
good hay. 1t will also be softened, SO as
to be easily masticated by the animals
and they will eat the whole with great
relish. Or, if any be left, it will be only
the Joints of corn stalks which are moi
softened, or some coarse plants of woody
fibre. A heap thus prepared should al
ways be kept on hand, so that each heap
may stand at least twenty-four hours.

KINDNESS CURED A Vicious HORSE.
"A horse in birmingham, formerly
driven in a meat cart, was bought by his
present owner at very low price, because
vicious. He would bite, rear, kick, run
away-was utterly uncontrollably. Soon
after changing masters, the people who
had called the purchase foolish one, were
surprised at the difference in the horses
conduct. He would go fast or slow as
desired stop instantly at whoa. follow
his call, and rub his head on his shoulder.
What had made the change? Not force
the poor horse had been beaten, kicked
and starved before, and growing more and
more stubborn. No; bur he was well fed,
well watered not overdriven or overload
ed; never whipped, kicked or scolded.
Kind words were given him, and now and
then an apple or lump of sugar. No
gentler, safer, more faithful horse went
on the road But Indian fashion, he forgot
neither benefit or injury. Occasionally,
when in harness, he saw his former master.
Then, invariably, all the fire of his nature
was aroused. His eye rolled, he champed
his bit, and showed an intense deisre to
get hold Of his former enemy. Only the
voice and caressing hand of his kind
owner could quiet him. What power is
kindness-the power that even the AL
mighty loves best to use Mrs. s. 0.

Six Hundred Million Dollars.

This is the estimate made by the Gov
ernnent of the amount spent by the peo-
pie of the United States for liquor during
the past year. II is difficult to compre-
bend SO great "a sum it exceeds by far all
we export from our country, greater than
the total of our imports. Double the value
of our entire cotton crop; and all the gold
we find in California and in the Territories
add up only about ono-tenth of this sum.
We are DESTROYS of ascertaining the
value received for this great expenditure.
and so append few questions, hoping that
some one versed in statistics may fill up
the blanks:
l. Standing army constantly engaged in
the manufacture of this liquor?
q. Number engaged in selling {?
8. Number slain during the past year by
its use ?
4. Number rendered incompetent for

WE find the following spicy letter in the
Boston Transcript, by some very old
gentlemen who has been here to see us.
His criticisms are pointed and free but not
ill-natured. The historical allusion to forty
years ago is interesting:
RICHMOND, VA, Dec. 7, 1871.
10 the Editor Of the Transcript:
Just forty years ago was in this city.
1t was soon after the ''Nat Turner affair."
when a poor, solitary negro travelled sixty
miles through the land, setting at liberty all
the plantation-hands on his way, and kill
ing their ssowners, - men and women. Old
Virginia was prodigiously alarmed, and
after debating the matter six weeks, came
within about dozen votes of freeing all the
slaves in the State. 8}ta
Gen. BrOdnax, chairman of joint spe-
cial committee, to which was committed a
resolution offered by Thomas Jefferson
Randolph "a grandson of Jefferson) freeing
the slaves, invited me to attend the sittings
of the committee of twenty-onc members.
Never shall Iforget the solemnity Of that
body. Conversation was carried on III a
tone not much above whisper, and file
of Garrison's Liberator was passed round a
table in perfect silence. ss
How is it to-day? Ihaye, this morning,
been into two legislative halls. The door
keeper of the Senate is colored man, and
two of that body are black. How strange
it is that slayeholding, aristocratic Vif-
ginia, should be the second State to admit
her colored men into, its Legislative halls !!
in Connecticut they are just allowed To
vote.
The members of the Senate and of the
House of Delegates are very ordinary look
ing men. The giants, are nearly all dead.
looked in vain for such men as occupied
the seats in 1881. The Marshalls, the
Brodnaxes, the Randolphs, the Bollings,
the Faulkners, the McDowells, are not
there. %
| find the people of Virginia but little
changed since | was here year ago. Every
newspaper take up abuses the North; and
do not perceive that there is much, if
any, difference, in that respect, between
this State and North Carolina.
The Governor, in his message to-day,
says "the great need of Virginia to-day, is
capital and population" How can he ex-
pect either, until manners and language
are changed s A
For several days this week the thermom-
eter has been down to 10 degrees. Now it
stands at As degrees and nothing can be
finer than walk in the sun.
Richmond is beautiful city. The streets
are wide and well paved, and hundreds Of
houses have attached to them spacious gar
dens, filled with ornamental and fruit trees.
The situation of Richmond is very fine (;
