FARM AND GARDEN.
STOCK FARMING IN OHIO.

The annual produce from the farm stock
of Ohio is estimated at fifty million dol
lars, which is equal to fifty per cent on the
taxable value of this property. Horses and
mules are set down at fifty million dollars;
cattle, thirty-two million; sheep, eleven
million; hogs, eight million; goats and
poultry, over one million. There are some
one hundred and fifty cheese and butter
factories in the State doing a prosperous
business. Mr.. Klippart, Secretary Of the
State Board of Agriculture, has a valuable
paper on Dairy Husbandry, in which is
given st length the results of his personal
inspection of diaries in Europe. BE says
that the Germans find dairy farming renu-
lucrative with land at $500 to s400p per acre,
and cows worth $120 to S160 per head;
yet butter and cheese sell very little
higher than in Ohio. 1t is claimed for his
State that 10000, 900 acres may be profit
ably devoted to this branch of industry
alone. As showing the value of milk as
an article of food, the report of the inspsc-
tor Of milk at Providence, Rhode Island, is
quoted, who says the nutritive value of this
kind of animal food is not generally appre-
ciated rs compared with fresh meat. Milk
as IA cents quart is no dearer than beef
at 20 cents pound; and when eggs are 30
cents dozen, milk to be even should sell
ct 20 cents quart. In a word, the cheap
est food family can have on farm or in
city is rich new milk, provided it is pro-
duced in the most economical way. II is
this fact that renders cows worth from
$120 to $160 in Germany, for the produc-
ton of milk; and land is worth three or
four hundred dollars an acre for the
support of dairy stock. Such land must
have a dense growth of grass all over it, to
pay interest on the sums named. While
our sister State, Ohio, is receiving fifty mil
lion dollars year for her animal products,

THE TRUE STORY OF THE FIRST
TELEGRAM

From Scribner's Monthly for March.
The bill met with neither sneers nor OPP
position in the Senate, but the business Of
that House went on with discouraging
slowness. At twilight on the last evening
of the session March 8, 1849) there were
179 bills before It. As it seemed impossi-
BILE for it to be reached in regular course
before the hour of adjournment should ar
rive, the Professor, who had anxiously
watched the tardy movements of business
all day from the gallery of the Senate
Chamber, went with sad heart to his ho-
tel, and prepared to leave for New York at
an early hour the next morning. While at
breakfast, a servant informed him that "a
young lady desired to see him in the par
lor. ..,t
There he met Miss Annie Ellsworth, then
q young school-girl-the daughter of his in
innate friend, Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth,
the first Commissioner of Patents-who
said as she extended her hand to him: 81
have come to congratulate you"
"Upon WHAT" inquired the Professor.
"Upon the passage Of your bill" she re-
piled.
"Impossible! Its fate was sealed at dusk
last evening. You must be mistaken"
"Not at ALL" she responded. ''Father
sent me to tell you that your bill was pass
ell. He remained until the session closed,
and yours was the last but one acted upon,
and it was passed just five minutes before
the adjournment, and l am so glad to be the
first one tell you. Mother says, too, that
you must come home with me to break
fast"
|The invitation was readily accepted, and
the joy of the household was unbounded.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth had fully be-
lieved in the project, and the former, in
bis confidence in it, and in his warm friend
ship for Professor Morse, had spent all the
closing hours of the session in the Senate
chamber, doing what he could to help the
bill along, and giving it all the influence of
his high personal and official position.
Grasping the hand Of bis young friend,
the Professor thanked her again and again
for bearing him such pleasant tidings, and
assured her that she should send over the
wires the first message as her reward.
The matter was talked over in the family,
and Mrs. Ellsworth suggested message,
which Prof. Morse referred to the daughter
for approval, and this was the one which
was subsequently sent.
a lltIle more IMAM year AFTER tnat time,
the line between Washington and Balti-
more was completed. Prof. Morse was in
the former city, and Mr.. Alfred Vail, his
assistant, In the latter-the first in the
chamber of the Supreme Court, in the
Mount Clare Depot, when, the circuit being
perfect, Prof. Morse sent to Miss Ellsworth
for her message, and 1t came
"WHAT HATH COP WROUGHT"
1t was sent in triplicate, to Baltimore,
and was the first message ever transmitted
by recording telegraph.

autumn, the fruit invariably cracks, and be-
comes badly damaged from the check the
trees receive from the breaking of many
small roots, and their subsequent second
growth. Cultivation after tbs season of
growth is over, and the leaves fan, and
early in the spring, before vegetation starts
to any extent, is always followed with BEN
efcial results. Flowing, narrowing and
leVeling the surface both fan and spring at
the times indicated make the fruit slime,
large and smooth"
Pruning should be done before the grow
ing season has fairly set in, and all moss
should be scrspsd OF and the bodies Of
trees either whitewsshed with lime or
washed in strong lye to destroy the eggs
and nests of all animal and vegetable para
sites. This operation Is very important to
preserve fruit trees and prevent serious in
jury to fruit. After the fruit is set, If there
is too much to mature perfectly, or tomake
the tree overbear, part should be cut off
by judicious thinning, or picked off by
hand. Valuable trees are often damaged
by carrying an excess Of fruit. This re-
mark applies to grape vines and all small
fruits. A strong, wel[drained and properly
cultivated soil, with no excess of
trees, plants, or fruit, and these
carefully watched for enemies, are
the conditions on which one
may fairly expect success in this depart
ment of rural industry. Only few men
have the care, patience and perseverance to
excel in fruit-culture, or horticulture.
Hence, one who produces q frst-rate arti-
Gle generally gets well paid for his skill and
labor. Caterpillars, worms, bugs, bark
lice, curculios, peach-tree borers, and
thousand and one other pests, give the at
teniive orchardist plenty to do. The in
dustrious gardener leads a life Of
constant warfare against insect enemies.
Rotting manure conveys into the garden
and fruit yard the eggs and germs of dep
redators that often cause much trouble. A
good heap of quick-lime, slaked in the ma
nure, will generate heat enough to kill most
of these Larvae and the seeds of weeds. The
lime will generally improve the soil. Salt

Rainbows ever gently curied;
For the hand that rocks the cradle

Keep, o keep the young heart open
Always TO the breath of God.
All true trophies of the Ages
Are from Mother Love impaired;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the hand of Womanl

And the sacred songs is mingled
With the worship in the sky,
Mingles where no tempest darkens,

GREEN AND DRY FORAGE.

1t has long been debated question
whether 100 lbs. Of green grass and clover
fed with all the juices in the plants, will
yield more milk and flesh in that condition,
or do better to dry out this apparent ex
cess of water and feed the same plants as
dry hay. When clover first comes into
blossom, 100 lbs. of it contain 70 lbs. of
water; SO that the green forage is just three
quarters water. As the plants grow to full
maturity the solids increase and the water
diminishes until at last the solid part is
about IS, and the aqueous part 65 in 100.
The writer has been in the practice of feed
ing clover both green and dry, over fifty
years, and has had the best results when
he has dried out about one-half of the wa
Ger, letting the remainder go to
moisten the forage. To dry any
vegetable substance thoroughly impairs
is solubility. Green corn and beans cook
much sooner than old dry corn and beans;
and old, dry hay has lost about half its
nutritive value by cutting and curing it at
too late date. The same error is seen, if
nom any cause, one pulls corn fodder after
the proper time.
when farmer wants the full benefit of
forage in oat straw, it is a mistake to wait
for the seeds to become ripe before cutting.
Elements in the stems and leaves Of the
plants that are soluble and nutritiye when
the oats are in blossom, and IN the milk,
become wood and insoluble when the oats
are fully ripe. Hence in no hay or forage
plant, should one permit the seed to ripen
before the harvest. Green rye and barley
make fair stock feed; but rye straw,
and barley straw, have small value
for making rich blood. Boussingault
had four large COWS that ate
2499 pounds Of clover grass day, cut and
FED in stalls. 1t appears incredible that one
COW should consume 624II lbs. of green clio.
yer day for weeks together. His COWS
did not, and, apparently, could not consume
over two-thirds of this forage in dry clover
or hay. He regarded this green meat as
equal to 47.3 lbs. of good meadow hay a day
to each COW. They gained in flesh beside:
giving milk. Dairymen who generally hav,
frst-class COWS, crowd them with feed. Tn,
writer has raised some 5000 bushels of car
rots a year to feed to dairy stock, and rec
onmends this root as valuable for COWS
horses, mares and colts. Ewes with lamb
eat carrots, turnips, kale and sugar beets
with advantage. Strike boldly for a plent
offorage, hay and roots; and prepare th
ground well for every seed.
