Corn MEAL FOR MMoH Cows.-The
statement is often made through the
agricultural press that corn meal is
the best feed for cows as a milk pro-
ducer. Why this should be repeated
when the experience of almost every
farmer is to the contrary, we cannot
tell, unless it be for the reason that
corn meal is the best grain feed for
cows not giving milk. There is no
grain so good for keeping up animal
heat, and producing flesh and fat, and
it is used in winter by most dairymen
for this purpose, but as milk produ-
ces it is the poorest grain that can be
given. Oat meal and wheat bran are
far superior. These statements are
based upon actual experiment and the
experience of many farmers.-Ohio

There are many friends of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom;
But when the winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.

Friends of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship
Cling TO him who ciings TO you.

Deeds are great but words are few.

Ashes as Cattle Feed.

The Main Farmer says: One OF our
substantial subscribers in recent con-
versation, gave his experience in training
neat stock affected with the habit Of eaa-
ing wood, chewing bones, etc. His cattle
were one spring affected in this way they
became thin in flesh, refused to eat hay,
and presented sickly appearance. He
had an impression that their food lacked
the constituents for making bone but
his neighbors used bone meal without
noticing any good results whatever. Last
spring he put about four bushels of leach
ed ashes in his barnyard, and threw out
70 them about shovelful each day. They
all ate>as if with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture, he put one
peck of dry ashes pesslw week on the ground
in the pasture They ate~it all up, and
gnawed off the grass where it>sad been
lying. The cattle began to improve
gaining flesh and looking better than they
had for several years. He says this morbid
appetite was uunoticed years ago, from
the face that the land was new aud ashy
from the burning of the woods aud land
clearings. lie has another proof of the
value of ashes for stock from this incident
He had large tub full of leaohed ashes
which remained ip it some time. 1t was
Afterwards used as watering tub and
when the cattle drank from it they would
lick and gnaw the sides and bottom of the
tub, actually biting out pieces and eating
them, Lattcrly, he gives one quart of
ashes, mixed with the same quantity Of
salt to twelve head of cattle, about onco
a week, and finds it to agree with them
wonderfully.

AGRICULTURAL.
Alternate Moving and Grazing


| allude more particularly to land lying
In grass for many years, where variety
exists. A piece of the best hay | have
seen for many years, cut and being cut
last week, suggested my mentioning this
subject again. Mr.. Whimpy says that
he moved it the year before last, having
done SO some preceding years too, and
manUred it, as he does all his land, with
good stable dung brought from Baltimore,
as well as what he makes at home but
the grass, chiefly timothy and orchard
grass, was becoming thin in the bottom,
and last year (Spring of 1870 it looked
rather unpromisiug for hay, SO he rented
it to dairyman for the summer, and it
was well grazed, Mr. w. thinking to plow
up and seed down again. However, there
has been such an extraordinary mass Of
white clover and bottom grass of other
descriptions that it is a prodigiously heavy
crop, and the quality the very best, tax
ing two apd three days turning to cure,
being so young, thick and full of sap /; Ia
short it is like much of the best English
upland hay, and like that, leaves the
ground looking, after the grass is cut, as
if the roots were killed, the short stems
being yellow; but there is already dense
y thick aftermath two inches high on
the parts first cut. The owner has rent
ed more this season for grazing, and will
continue to do so, and it is probable that
he will harvest every year nearly as much
hay, and of much better quality, from
half the land, and pocket the rental of
the other moiety, besides using six times
the afterfeed, as moving so much earlier
as he is obliged to do lest the white clo-
yer and orchard grass should ripen, the
quantity to Craze is in fact much more
than is moved by those who NOW year
after year when their grass is ripe. Here
are two fallacies exposed which are very
serious to the country-that grazing iu-
| jgres an old moving, and that moving
early and eating the after grass does so
too.
| mentioned some years since the par
ticulars of a piece of land on the side of
the bottom part of one OF the New Hamp-
shire mountains, which, having been close
! ly graZed down for two successive sum-
mers with sheep, was supposed to be ruin
ed, and being unexpectedly brought to
the hammer through the owners death,
made several dollars per acre less than
had previously been paid for it, and af-
forwards proved to be the thiokest see
grass in the neighborhood, and continued
benefited by close grazing. | saw an in
stance given where moving had been
grazed because it was not worth moving
longer, the intention being to plow up
and plant corn the result in this case
was simiar-complete renovation and
the springing into existence Of new set
OF bottom grass which made it better than
it had ever been before Cor Country

1t will be seen from this table that the
State debt remained above forty millions
some years increasing and in others
decreasing slowl y-until 1856, when the
Democratic ascendancy began to be
shaken. The public works were sold in
1857, in 1858 the Republicans carried the
House, in 1859 they carried both House
and Senate, and in 1860 they elected the
Governor and majority in both houses.
During these ten years the ruling party
had the benefit of the revenue from the
State tax on real and personal estate, and
the tax on tonnage on the Pennsylvania
railroad The revenue from these two
sources, during the decade referred to,
was as follows

Where and What is Corea.

Corea is vast peninsula northeast of
China, from which it is separated by the
Yellow Sea. The population is estimated
at 100000. The country is divided
into eight provinces, and contains some
500 cities and towns. The government is
a despotism, and all the lands are held
from the sovereign, who claims one tenth
Of the agricultural produce as an annual
tribute. The area of the peninsula is
10 ,4l4 miles, exclusive of the numerous
islands which surround its southern
shores. It is land Of mountains, many
on the seaboard reaching an elevation of
from l 900 to 5000 feet. The chief river
is the Ya-lu-kiang, which partly forms
the boundary, but which is admitted by
all to belong to Corea. 1t is called the
Aye kiang by the Chinese. The naviga-
ton of the eastern branch of this stream
is interdicted by the Coreaus, and China
men found attempting to use it are put to
death. Sand banks are numerous on this
river, and there is a sand bar at each of
its mouths. But the Chinese declare that
navigation is comparatively easy, and that
large steamers could enter the eastern
branch. The western coast is dangerous,
owing partly to the strong tides among
the islands and rocks. On the eastern
coast, however, there is deep water, and
several excellent harhors, Of which
Chosan, on the south, and Broughton, On
the north, are best known.
The climate is magnificent, for Corea
possesses not only all the advantages OF
hill and dale, and river and sea, but ly-
ing in the very mouth Of the great Chi
nese channel, it receives the full force of
the southeast monsoon, with all Of its
fertilizing and genial influences. As a
consequence, many of its productions
reach maturity and perfection far sur
passing those of North China. The win
ter is much less severe, and the summer
lis far more enjoyable than on the main
land. The people clearly belong to the
same stock as the Mongols, Mauchus
japanese and Chinese. They are brave
and are true friends, but dangerous foes
Looked at from commercial point OF
view, the Coreans are undoubtedly pos
sessed Of considerable ingenuity, as evinc,
ed in their garments and manufactures
The cotton produced in Corea is fan
superior to that in any part of China il
is long in the staple and fine in quality
just like the best kinds of Carolina cotton
The Coreans are very fond Of foreigr
cotton cloth, and buy it largely from tht
Chinese at the gates They also smuggle
considerable quantities of it every year OIL
the coast. The country steems with
mineral wealth, and has vast undevelopec
resources of all kinds. The people pos
sess capacities OF no mean description
they are intelligent, acute and ingenious
China Injuries the trade Of the peniusul;
by pernicious regulations. There are
only three places where trade with tht
Chinese is allowed, and at these only fol
brief periods, at stated intervals. These
trading places are called gates the frs

And yet, with all this revenue, and
s300,0 900 additional paid in three install
ments, 1858, 1859 aud 1860, by Penn
sylvania railroad in redemption of its
bonds, given in purchase of the public
works, the public debt remained almost
unchanged for six years, and was fually
reduced in the following four years, but
trifc, as these figures show:

Or an average of about $3.50 900 year.
Shortly after the Republicans came full
ly into possession Of the State govern
nent in 1861, they were confronted with
the necessity of arming the troops of the
State called out to suppress the rebellion
and to put the State into a condition of
defense. Hence the negotiations of the
war loan of 1861. They therefore com
menced their decade with debt of over
forty millions, as follows
State debt December /,
1860 $37 800, 847 so
War loan of 1861 100000 90
Total S4l,469, S47 so
The tonnage tax was repealed in 1861,
and subsequently, in February, 1866, the
three mill tax on real estate was repealed,
so that these large sources Of revenue en-.
joyed by the Democrats were cut off from
their successors, the annual payment into
the Sinking Fund by the Pennsylvania
railroad being increased, by the repeal of
the tonnage tax, from 100000 to $780,
600 annually.
With the tonnage tax repealed since
1861, aad the three mill tax abolished
since 1865, the Republican administra-
tion of the State has still managed to
reduce the public debt more than one
fourth A statement published, officially,
by the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, shows the public debt, July l,

The Democrats had an almost unbrok en-

and the Republicans have been in power
most of the time from 1860 to 1S7I.-
The record made by these parties, within
those periods, in the management of the
finances of the State, is a fair test by
which to try them.
The State debt on the 1st of December,
1850, and on the same date of the ten
years following, is given in the following
table, compiled from the annual reports
of the Auditor General:
