and 270 bushels of oats, their daily ration be-
ing IS pounds of hay and II pounds of oats

to raise this amount of fodder A COW will
consume Is pounds of hay and six pounds OF
corn meal daily, equal to 81 tons of hay and
40 bushels of corn, allowing for toll grinding
it, per year. This will require about four
acres of average land. One acre of good corn
land will produce enough grain and stalks to
keep cow during year. This estimate,
which is deduced from practice, accords else

be no practical difference between the crops

qure greater amount to be consumed to

TURN1p FLAVOR IN MILK AND BUTTER.

TURNIP FLAVOR IN MILK AND BUTTER.
"A correspondent of the American Agri-
culturist states that last winter he fed tur.
nips in the usual way at milking time to five
cows, until the milk and butter became so
strong that it could not be used. He then
commenced feeding Immediately after milk
ing and found that "there was not a parti-
Gle Of turnip flavor in the milk or butter.''
After a time the taste returned. On inves-
tiSation, he found that one of the cows was
nearly dry, and was MIXED only once
day, while she was fed with turnins
twice day. She gave but a pint of milk
per day, so that when fed in the morning She
could have had only about half pint of milk
in her bag; yet this received so much taste
from the turnips that it spoiled the milk of
four other cows in full flow. To make the
test complete he had her MIXED twice a
day, when the difficulty at once ceased, and
did not recur. Evidently a very small
amount of milk in the udder will suffice to DO
the mischief, and if drying-oif cows are
MIXED ouly once a day while on turnlp ieeu.
their milk should not be mixed with tnat
from the rest of the herd.

CROMWELL defined the local government
of England as an ungodly jumble, and now
it might, with truth, be set down as perfect
epitome of Bumbledom: Take half dozen
dissected maps, all divided in different shapes,
mix together the pieces, and then, gathering
then up at random, arrange number OF
them into a square the size of one of the
maps; fill the instertices as near'y as may be
with the small pieces; cover the remaining
holes with larger fragments, cover these with
others, and pour hot glue, which you may
call legislation, if you like, over the whole,
and you have an idea of the division of Eng
land for purposes of local government. Mr..
Gladstone, not long ago, incautiously threw
out a threat againt London. All Bundle
dom was instantly up in arms. The sacred
| prerogatives ofGog and Magog were threaten

covenant, to be ratified by another dinner by
all the other mayors to the lord mayor. Even
