A Noticeable Fact for Dairymen.

The correspondent of the Inter Ocean
writes from Utica, N Y, after visiting the
dairy districts in Oneida county, as follows
The delivery Of milk is greatly inferior
to that Of this date year ago. Even the
calves seem to have postponed their COM
ing to wait for warmer skies, and this
would point to change Of time, on the
part Of the farmers, in the association Of
their breeding stock. Whatever this
change may signify, there is apparently a
great decrease in the prevalence Of an evil
which, few years ago, seemed to portend
the ruin Of the dairy business in this re-
gion. The percentage Of abortions among
the COWS Is much reduced in the record Of
this spring. The general belief is that the
malady was not caused by organic disar-
rangement nor by the presence of the
frightful animalcul@ or poisonous sub
stances which quasi doctors have conjured
up for their profit, but was the result Of an
overtaxation of the powers of the impreg-
mating animal, or by the employment Of
those too young for service. The disap-
pearance Of she evil is fact Of much
value, and the farmers congratulate them
selves upon it.
But the less delivery Of milk at the fac
tories cannot be wholly attributed to the
backwardness Of the season or the animals.
/ was struck by the decreasing of the herds
as l listened to number Of dairymen re-
lating their plans for the coming season.
Almost all gave in less number Of COWS,
and spoke Of preparing still more for the
butcher. The importation of Canadian
cows, once prevalent, has almost disap-
peared this spring, and many farmers ate
seriously thinking of throwing up their
stock altogether. The favorite scheme
with such is the raising hay for bailing and
shipment, which just now promises good
profits The great care, anxiety and vex-
alton consequent upon stock breeding and
the care of the animals seems to drive
many to the moving machine and the hay
press. All these considerations point to
reduced productionof cheese in this region.
Even if the same numbers Of COWS were
kept up, it would hardly be safe to expect
50 good yield as last year exhibited, and
the indications which | have noted must
decrease it. Such a condition would, how
ever, create better demand for the yield
Of newer sections.

ua labor is spading ground and turning

nearly fifty women, all strong and muscu-

were piercinga cambric handkerchief with

Bars Of gold through the eastern window
Shine high up on the western wall;
And without in the maple branches
Bluebirds answer the robins cal.
Nists Of night speed over the hill.tops,
Hasting hence when their work is done,
And smoke of engines down the valley
Looks like silver foam in the sun.
Fresh and fair and bright is the morning,
Clear and blue is the spring-time sky,
And those white doves on wing fancy
Offering praises as they hy.
As the mists and the birds Hy upward,
So our hearts on the wings ofpraise
Rise to the loving and watchfal Father
Blessing us now with sweet spring days.

The Chinese take curious method to
prevent their pigeons from being attacked
BY birds Of prey while circIing over tho
cities or moving from place to place. Tha
consists in the employment Of small short
cylinder or reed pipes, in groups Of three
or four or more. These are attached to
the back Of the bird, and 80 adjusted that
as it flies through the air very sharp
sound is produced. Varying lengths Of
the bamboo give variety Of tones 10 this
instrument; and when large nunber Of
birds are flying together in floek, as >
very frequently the case, the sound pro-
duced BY them b distinctly audible for
great distance. L Is said that rapaeious
birds are effectively repeIled BY this pre-
caution, 50 that the pigeons make their
fights with perfect safety from one point
to another

IT was recently STATED before the

million acres lees under cultivation in
Louisiana at this time than there were
in 1860 that the white population had
decreased more in the last year l. an il
had II creased in the preceding twelve;
that lands had deprecated twenty,
thirty, fty and even ninety per cent in
value, and that in all material respects
the S ate had undergone startling de-
terioration. This is the result OF q
policy which President GRANT is up
holding in Louisiana 10y both the civil

The Louisiana Question Again In
the Courts.


the Courts.
The fact is not generally known that
the Louisiana question is again before
the United States Supreme Court on an
important issue, which, If the Courts
shall do its duty, will completely strip
the Kellogg usurpation from the only
color of title under which the President
interposes his bayonets. The Court
last winter refused the writ Of prohibi-
ton to be directed to Judge Durell,
which was demanded by Colonel P.
Phillips, counsel for Wsrmorh, Whar-
ton and others, in the cause of Kellogg
vs. Warmoth, but at the came time the
Court went on to cay that an appeal
would be allowed in the case on q final
decree. The petition is therefore filed
on the application Tor an appeal made
before Judge Durell on the 10Th o.
December last, which he held under ad.
visemeLt till the 18th OF January, 1873,
and then refused. The petitioners now,
by Mr.. Phillips, their counsel, have
asked the Supreme Court to allow an
appeal or a mandamus directing Judge
Durell to allow an appeal. This pro-
ceeding being er parts, the United
States have not appeared by counsel.
On one side or the other it is probable
that an answer will be given by the
Court on Monday next, and that they
will, OF course, shrk their duty and
side with the carpet. bag thieves on
some pretext or other. The petition
claims that the decree of Durell, ludica.
ting the right between two rival Boards,
and requiring transfer OF the election
papers, return sand documents 10 the
kellogg Board, is, in its operation on
the parties aud on the subject OF litiga-
ton such decree or order as entities
the de endants to an appeal Divested
OF all legal technicslities, it will be seen
that the real issue to be decided by the
Supreme Court is whether single
Ulted States Circuit judge can finally
reverse the choice OF the people OF Louis
lana at the polls, and set no Govern
ment by his own individual fat, to be
enforced by the army, without any
chance or opportunity whatever OF re-
vision by the highest Court of the
nation.
