Hay Uncut, Cut and Chaffed.

"How shall we feed our hay and straw"
is question of Importance to every farm
er who wishes to make the best of his re-
sources. IN. L. H." gives in a recent
number of the Ohio Farmer, some origin
al news upon this subject. He says:
1t is stated in some of the agricultural
papers that twenty-five pounds Of hay I'M
cut, nineteen cut in pieces an inch long, or
thirteen chaffed, are equal in value for
stock. If this statement is correct, farm
ers might make great saving by reducing
it to cut or chatfed condition. Of course,
it is not argued that its altered mechanical
condition makes it more nutritious, but
simply reduces it to a state from which the
animal can make available a larger por-
ton of the nutriment it contains. Food
reduced to high degree of fineness is more
thoroughly mixed with saliva in chewing
and in undergoing digestion the gastric
Juice comes in more immediate contact
with it, Under these conditions the food
is much better digested, and larger part
of its nutritive value appropriated to. the
wants of the system, than when it is taken
in an unreduced state.
Oats or corn fed whole often pass through
the stomach and bowels of animals half
digested, and no doubt the same is true of
hay. When horses are required to labor,
a peck of unground oats or corn, or ten
pounds of hay not very well masticated,
will not yield to their wants more than
two-thirds that amount finely ground.
This latter could be thoroughly digested
while the animal is at work if the former
did not. The saving of time to eat it
would also give them more rest, Animals
not required to labor, having sufficient
time to eat and digest their food, would get
more nourishment from the same amount
than those that are worked.
1t is not clear, however, that the increased
value is just that indicated at the head of
this article. We need quite accurate ex-
periments to determine this, 1t is only
clear that by reducing food to a fine condi-
ton by cutting, chatting and grinding
greatly increase its valus.

AN ADDRESS
To the Honorable Board OF Commissioners
of ImmIgration, State of Tennessee. Il

/ GENTLEMEN: The excitement, natural
Iy produced on the mind of every citizen
by the late election, both National and
State, having subsidized, and political is
sues for the present at rest, L deem it @
proper time for our people to turn their at
tention to their local affairs, to the advace-
ment of the prosperity and material adj
vancement and welfare of the State: You
will, therefore, pardon my liberty of adj
dressing few suggestions to your Honor
able body in regard to the all-absorbing
topic of Immigration.
1t is hardly necessary for me to point out
the advantages arising from the influx of
an industrious population, on large scale
but, to the enemies of this measure, L
would PROFOUND just one question: What
would be the result if all those residing
among us, who came from other States and
counties, were to leave the State? And,
again, if this number should be doubled
Much has been done in the way of
speaking and printing on this subject, but
desirable as it is to enlist the inestimable
aid of the public press, in its behalf, the
therefore, respectfully, propose to your
honorable body, the following feasible and
practical plan which, if either in whole or
part, it meets with your appreciation, you
may propose to our next Legislature to be
acted upon.
l. Let the State procure one-quarter or
One-half million acres of arabic land to be
set apart for the sole and exclusive purpose
of immigration, -., -..- d. ..
2. The acquisition of the land could be
easily obtained, partly from that owned by
Stoto (or1yy hxy q
friends of the cause, and by purchase on a
long credit. tsttfsf tsA'
3. The land should be in tracts of two to
three thousand acres, subdivided in Sec
tion5 of sixty acres, of which every
alternate section be donated to a bone tide
settler, under such conditions as the State
may prescribe; the other sections to be re-
tanned by the State.
4. Every male immigrant of the age of
twenty-one, and every widow with one or
more boys, should be entitled to one sec
ton of sixty acres.
5. The State is to warrant the title to the
settler, but the latter to pay all costs of sur
veying, ETC., as designated by the State.
8. All products of mandatory to
be exempt from taxation for the
term of ten years, as far as the
authority of the State reaches.
Z. The object of large tracts is to facili-
tate cooperation and mutual assistance OH
the part of the settlers.
S. The State may enter into negOtia-
tons with bodies desiring to establish
communities or settlements in body.
g.. The sections reserved by the State
will in time, more than compensate for
all OUTLAWS and disbursements by the
State
In order to carry out this plan, all appro-
priation by the Legislature is requisite for
the purchase of land, compensation of
commissioners, separate agents, &C., but
which will tend to the advancement and
prosperity of our beloved State, and prove
a great source of revenue in the not dis
tant future. PETER STAUB.

Charred Paper.

To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser:
Charred papers upon which the writing
is wholly illegible have been treated as fol-
lows with decided success. Theiprocess
was suggested by a chemist, Prof. J. M.
Ordway:
Lay the document carefully upon asheet
of glass, and wash over its surface with
strong muriatic acid-using a soft brush.
Allow two or three hours for drying, and
afterward wash the same surface with a
solution of yellow prussiate of potash as
the water will dissolve; When dry the
written characters will appear in Prussian
blue on the charred paper, and they can be
then easily read with common magnify
ing glass.
The iron in the ink is dissolved by the
acid, and then combines with the second
chemical, forming the above product. We
have made long series of experiments,
and find the above reliable and effective

For Secretary of State.

CARTHAGE, Tenn, Nov. ~, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Now that the
official returns are al. in, and having had
time for rejoicing over our great victory, it
becomes necessary that we should look to
the future. If we but do our duty as Re
publicans, two years from now our State
will be wrenched from the hands of the
Bourbons and placed in the hands of Re-
publicans. ~ .--
Our members elected to the Legislature
have a great responsibility resting upon
them. They should be very judicious in
the organization of the Legislature, also as
to the election of State officers. In this
connection l will state that they could not
do better than to cast their vote for Capt
E. S. Williams, of this county, for Secre--
tary of State. During the war he served
calamity in an Ohio regiment and
located in this county at the close OF
the war. He was member of the State
convention in 1865, that reorganized our
State government. He was elected after
wards as Attorney General for this noun
tain district, and did much towards allaying
the bitterness and prejudices arising from
our late fratracidal strife. In said position
he displayed ability and an energy seldom
surpassed. In 1867 the Republicans of this
county elected him to the Legislature, of
which he was one of the most effectual
workers. He early espOused the cause of
universal suffrage, linked with amnesty.
Subsequent events have shown that had
his party followed his advice upon this
subject that we would have remained in
control of the State.
While Capt. Williams has always been
liberal in his views, he has ever been an
active, efficient worker, being the only
man of our section who has even taken
the stump in defense of the principles of
our party. He was recently rendered
the position Of Elector for the Second
Congressional District, but owing to his
private business could not accept said posi-
ton, knowing that he could not canvass
the district as he desired
If Capt. Williams will allow his name to
be used in connection with said position,
he would bring Conservative support,
which, in connection with the Republi-
can vote, would annihilate any Bourbon
that might show his "phiz." Capt. w.
would make an excellent Executive of
ficer and would reflect credit and honor
upon himself, his State and upon those
electing him.
Hoping that our Legislature will con-
slider this matter carefully and that Capt.
w. will consent to make the race,
[ am respectfully,

The Presidents Magnanimity.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times and Chronicle of the Cd.
says:
In conversation with Senator Sherman
a few days ago, the President said it was
not his purpose to ostracize those Repub-
licans in the Senate and House who had
opposed him in the recent campaign, and
be hoped that Messrs. Trumbulf, Fenton,
Banks, Farnsworth, and Blair would not
be deposed from their committee chair
manships, in view of the fact that their of
fetal careers would soon end. The knowl-
edge that the President entertains such
sentiments undoubtedly influenced meny
Republicans from voting yesterday to ex-
cuse Mr.. Banks from service on the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs.

The ten sloop of war vessels bill was re-

He admitted that there was nothing to be
feared from the great powers, but the peo
pie whom it was desired to impress with
the greatness of the country, were the
semi-civilzed nations of the world. 1t
was for that object more than any other
that these vessels were required. The
House then proceeded to vote on the bill
and amendment. Halls amendment re-
