Interesting 10 Dairy men and PeO-
pie who Keep "A Cow.

A correspondent of the Journal of the
Farm, whose reliability and experience
is endorsed by the editor, in an article on
cotton seed and its uses, says:
There is a cake Something like lin
seed) which is ground, and called cotton
seed meal. This will soon be in general
use by all good dairymen, and, to illus
trate this, L will give the result of one ex-
pertinent by large dairyman in Mary
land, who sells all his products (milk) in
the city of Baltimore.
He had two COWS coming in at the
same time when he commenced his ex-
pertinent. These cows were not giving
nine quarts per day. One he continued
to feed as he did his other cows, but for
the other he added to peck of ordinary
mill feed, one pint of cotton seed meal,
and fed two quarts of the mixture twice a
day. The result was, that on the third
day the milk had increased to eleven
quarts per day, and continued to increase
until the seventh day, when the yield was
seventeen quarts. AT this quantity it
continued as long as his meal lasted, and
not being able to procure more, the yield
(under the ordinary feeding) went back to
nine quarts per day. The milk from the
cotton seed feed was much richer in taste
and color than the other. This expert
ment was made last winter. This season
he will feed all his cows with it.

A German paper has made the follow
ing calculation A train composed of all
the locomotives and railway carriages in
Europe would reach from st. Petersburg
to Paris and would contain 400, 900 pas
senger carriages and 5000, 800 luggage
vans. The railways of Europe are car
ried over 81, 900 large and small bridges
and 90 through thirty-four miles of tun-
mel; $50, 900, 900 cwt. of iron has been
used for the rails, and 100000 cwt.
of coal is required yearly to feed the
engines. The network of European rail-
way includes all States except Greece,
Lippe-Detmold, Waldeck, and a few 9TH
er small German States. 1t represents
7O,71S miles; 10000 locomotives are
EMPLOYED on it; the distance these rush
over in a year is 1900, 600 miles. If to
this be added the distance passed over by
passenger carriages and luggage vans, we
get to 100, 900, 900 miles.

Taking Cold.

What is the best mode of protecting the
throat frr.m colds where person is very
susceptible to themY The common way
of protecting the throat is to bundle and
wrap it up closely. thus overheating and
rendering it tender and sensitive and
more liable to colds and inflammation
than before. Especially is this the case
with children. and when in addition to
the muffiing of the throat the extremities
are insuf6cIently clad, as is often the
case, the best possible conditions are pre-
scented for the production of sore threats,
coughs, Group, and all sorts of throat and
lung affections. 1t is wrong to exclude
cold air from the neck, and if it is over
heated portion of the time when it is
exposed some form of disarrangement of
the throat will be apt to occur The rule
in regard to clothing the neck should be
to keep it as cool as comfort will allow
In doing so you will suffer much less
from throat ailments than if you are al
ways fearful of having little cold air
come in contact with the neck. Any one
who has been accustomed to have his
throat muffied should be careful to leave
off gradually and not all at once.

The Spring River Fountain, Mt. Yer
non, Mo-, of Dec. 9Th, has the following
Farmers coming from Northern and
Eastern States into this part of Missouri,
frequently ask why it is that the stalks OF
corn, on the bottom lands especially, at
tain such great size and height and lack
50 much in the earring. Is it because the
elements necessary for the formation OF
the grain does not exist in the soil to an
extent equal to that which makes the
stalkP or is it because the season at
which the gram is formed is unfavorable
to its proper development? or is it attrib-
utable TO some other cause-and can we
by proper culture make amends for this
very material deficiency? These are
questions which should be understood,
and the deficiency amended if within our
power to do so. Various theories are
entertained by different farmers, but we
have heard of no actual demonstration Of
any Of them.
1t has been found by many of our
bottom farmers that unless they get their
corn in sufficiently early to have 1t silk be-
fore the usual dry spell they will not
make q crop. To enable them to secure
this essential condition, they pillow in the
fall and early winter for their crop, so as
to be able to plant at the earliest possible
time and make their crop before the hot
dry spell-and they are generally success
full
A few have tried draining the bottoms
and with equally successful results. BY
draining, the water is promptly removed
and the ground becomes in condition to
work much earlier than by waiting to
have the ground dried by evaporation, and
the crop is gotten in in good time and in
good order. The ground is almost always
in order to work during the growing sea-
son--it is thus carried right along without
any stunt or check until the berry is
made, and that is designed to be before
the ordinary dry term.
There is still another point generally
but too little attended to, namely, the
selection of seed. The same seed used
without any intelligent selection, has a
tendency to deteriorate. 1t is important
to change the seed frequently. Take
seed raised on the thin uplands with
their tendency to firm grain and stocky
fodder or stalk and plant in the bottoms,
and the reverse. Much can be done by
passing through the field and selecting
the seed on the ground, choosing the
large ears, plump grains and small stalks.
This course pursued for few years will
tend to the diminution of the stalk and
development of the ear.-Colman's Rural
World.

Domestic Recipes.

To keep Knives from Rusting. An ex-
cellent way to keep knives from rusting
is to scour them on board, crosswise with
some dry brick, after having wiped them
perfectly dry, and put them away without

to have them look new and nice, wash
them with soft flannel and lukewarm wa

them to look extra nice, after they are
wiped, drop few spoonfuls of milk over
them, and rub them with dry cloth.
Water Cake.-One teacup of sugar /;
two eggs; half cup of butter; one
teacup of water; two cups of flour tea
spoonful Of soda; beat the butter and eggs
to cream, then add the other ingredients !;
stir well, and bake quick flavor with nut

of gum shellac, broken up in small pieces,
in quart bottle or jug; cover it with al
cohol, cork it tight, and put it on a shelf
IN a warm place, shake it several times a
day, then add piece of camphor as large
as hens egg, shake it we'll, and in a few
hours shake it again, and add one ounce
of lampblack. If the alcohol is good, il
will all be dissolved in three days; then
shake and use. If it gets too thick, add
alcohol, pour out two or three teaspoon
fuls in saucer, and apply it with small
paint brush. If the materials are all
good, it will dry in about FIVE minutes.
and will be removed only by wearing it
of, giving a gloss equal to patent leather.
The advantage of this preparation over
others is. it does not strike into the leath-
er and make it hard, but remains on the
surface, and yet excludes the water al
most perfectly. The same preparation
il admirable for harness, and does not
soil when touched, as lampblack prepara-
tons do.

Trust in me, Lily bud; tell me thy dreaming,
Open thy heart to thy mother, aud speak
Now the quick teardrops fall faster and

Has my queen found her king? has her
heart found its master?

Well, be it 20, love; It's Natures decreeing;
Think not that she who held thee TO her
From the all-blesAed hour of thy earliest

'Tis the last day of the quick dying year ;
Gold the horizon, unerring the omen;
Morn shall dawn smiling, unclouded and

When spring brings her green, with her
Aower-buds blended,
In turn they will build meath the ivy

without making a large hole in the
ground
1--WE have heard of two methods eff
getting rid of stumps, which, as they APP
pear feasible and inexpensive, we hope
some reader viii try and report upon.
Bore with a two inch auger 20 the heart

with sulphuric acid, or with crude oil of

comes the destructive agent within few
months; in the latter, when the stump
becomes saturated with the oil n is fred,
and will then burn out to the last particle

I bought one ton of Charleston super
phosphate of Lime; ! then spread 300
bounds of cotton seed, well wet, on hard
dirt. i'm an old house under cover then
spread 300 pounds of the phosphate on
it, then 300 pounds of well-rotted stable
manure, and continued this process until
| had formed compost of 5000 pounds.
Early in January, 1870, / broke up IL
acres of sandy soil fully 6 inches deep,
with two horse Brinley pillow; in March
| laid off one and half acres Of the land
with long shovel pillow, A ] inches wide,
running twice in same furrow. The bal
ance of the IL acres four feet wide, then
applied to the one and half acres 1900
pounds of the manure, 500 pounds per
acre to the balance of the eleven acres;
then run in each furrow a bull-tongue,
mixing manure and soil, and breaking the
ground ten inches deep in the furrow. L
then listed on the manure with a two

with long shovel, forming rather Nat

run over the crop with Dickson sweep,
and used no other pillow in its cultivation
during the whole season that Plow |
found kept down the grass and weeds
and kept the soil very loose and mel
low. The process was repeated half
dozen times. Now for yield-of the
one and half acres | gathered two
bales weighing SIT pounds each, and
on balance of the land | gathered Z
bales of cotton, weighing about the
same, SIT pounds. One hundred acres
of same kind of land, scratched over in
cotton per acre. The Dickson
seed would have made two bags per
acre, but for the boil worm and rot, as
the seed was large and finely formed.

The business of agriculture should be
an industry and not a speculation
The insane pursuit OF specialities has
long been a curse to American agricul-
ture. A whole community runs wild
upon hops when selling at fifty
cents pound, and in two
years they were hardly worth the price
of picking, and extravaganza begotten
of high expectations is forthwith fol-
lowed by bankruptcy. Wheat brings
81 per bushel, and whole States become
wheat fields, while every other interest
languishes, until the bread crop be-
comes so abundant as to be fed to
swine in preference to shipment for hui
man food The sheep, with wool at 81
Il pound, holds high place in public es-
TEEN, but is kicked from the pasture
by every Randolph of the farm at the
first indication of heavy decline in the
value of its fleece. In your section,
cotton, a great boon to your agriculture
as a constituent in your aggregate of
production, may become an unmitigated
evil if left to usurp the place of all
other crops. The crop of last year pro-
duced 800, 600, 900, more than fifty per
cent. larger than ten years ago. Three
millions Of bales may command profit
of $40 per bale, while 5000, 600 may
not bring a dollar above their cost
But present profit is not the main con-
sideration. The increase in value and
enlargement of the productive capacity
of the soil, by judicious rotation, in
Guiding the restorative influences of
green cropping and cattle feeding, is an
increase of capital, a source of annual in
come, and an addition to the inheritance
of ones children. 1t not only insures a
profit from cotton culture, but enables
the planter to pocket the entire proceeds
of its sale, other products feeding man
and beast.-Hon. II. Capron, at Georgia
Fair

WHY is it that so many children die under

portion of children die under that age, has
long been q subject of remark. and without s.

Also, it is known that worms exist in the hui
