NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

To-day the New Jersey State Democratic COnven-
ton to elect delegates to Baltimore meets in
Trenton. While the anxiety as to its action has
OF course increased Us the hour OF assembling APP
preached the situation shows slight change from
the review given in Mondays HERALD. II anything
the sentiment has gradually been beralizlng
most likely that New Jersey, If she does not
declare for Greeley and Brown, will at
least refrain from any contrary course. 1t
is believed in wen informed circles that an unn-
structed delegation will be sent to Baltimore. Since
the last report there Is good reason to believe that
not only all opposition to Greeley stopped on the
part of Ex-Governor Randolph but that gentleman
and his friends trimming" and veering round
for Old White Hat The gentlemen now most prom
inently named for delegates at large are Governor
Parker, Senator Stockton, John McGregor and
Jacob Vanatta. Mr.. Randolph Is anxious to CO. but
his Fifth Avenue fosco has not helped him to any
enormous extent.

every one opportunity to select vocation; gave To

How TO FAsTEN Cows.-Stanchions
should be abolished as cruelty to ami
mails. Cows or oxen thus fastened have
no opportunity of relieving themselves
from their close, cramped position. A
much more comfortable and safe fasten-
ing is the ring and chain cattle-tie. The
ring slides up and down post firmly
founded in the floor of the stable, and let
into the beam or joist above. The chain
is fastened around the animals neck by
passing small cross s.bar through a
ring i and by passing it through two or
three of the rings, it is absolutely i'm
possible that the CHAIN can come un.
fastened. A spring snap-hook may be
used in addition, which will add another
perfect fastening if desired. With this
fastening the COW can lie down in a nat
ural position, and while sleeping can
turn her head over toward her shoulder
as she will almost always do. The
writer has used them for many years for
cows, oxen, and bulls, without any acci-
dent and with great satisfaction. Made
of steel they are light, cheap, secure, and
comfortable.

Cows that come in before the firsl of
April will now, in ordinary dairies, be
allowed to go dry. In the majority OF
cases they cease to give milk of their
own accord. With warm stables and
liberal food, some cows will continue tC
give milk nearly or quite up to cAlving
But such cases, in our experience, are
rare. 1t requires liberal food and the
hest of treatment to keep such a COW in
vigorous health. For ten days or two
weeks before calving, it is well to give
laxative food, such as bran. mash and lin
seed tea, or, If this is not sufficient, give
a pound of glauber salts, or halfpound
OF EPSON salts, and tablespoonful OF
ginger. In case of very fat cows, it is
we'll to give this dose once week for
three weeks or month before calving,
as a preventive of milk.fever.

A correspondent of the Farmers
Home Journal writing from the vicin.
ity of Brandon, Miss, speaks of kind
of oats raised in that section, which is
valuable because it never rusts. He had
never heard it mentioned, either in the
newspapers ofKentucky, or by farmers,
and yet it is a peculiar and distinctive
variety. 1t is known there as red oats,
and is the only kind that can be raised
in Mississippi. 1t can be readily dis.
tinguished from any other oats at a
glance. This variety is of a brownish
red color, and the grain will weigh two
or three times as much as that of any
other kind. 1t does not grow quite SC
tall, but yields more grain. The cores
pondcnt does not know where it origi-
mated, but he asserts that when other
oats are selling at so cents per bushel,
the red oats sell readily at from 81 so to
$3.50 per bushel.
