Ayrshire Cows as Mixers.

In 1868, William Birnie, Esq, OF
Springfield, Mass, in letter address
ed to gentleman of Maryland, says:
kitty 4th took the highest prizes as
a mixer of any breed at the Fair of
the New England Agricultural So
ciety, at Springfield, Mass, in 1864,
having given her own weight in milk
each month for Jour months previ-
Gus to the Fair, and four hundred and
forty-:wo pounds ovel. In 1869, IN
tending TO exhibit her at the Fair of
our County Society, l kept a record
of her milk, which l give below, as
copied from the report of C. L. Flint,
Secretary of the Mass. Board of Ag-
riculture for that year. She calved
the 18th of March, and we began to
weigh her milk April LIST; during the
month she gave ,l27 pounds of milk,
in May 934, June l,025 pounds, in
July 972 pounds, in August 912
pounds, total in five months 1853
pounds. Her feed was pasture, green
grass and green corn fodder, and her
weight as she stood, September 1st
was SIS pounds. Thus it will be seen
she gave her weight in milk each
month for five months and SIS
pounds over.

The London Field, one of the high
est authorities, says of sawdust: ~
litter the horses on it to the depth of
nine inches, raking of the damp and
soiled surface, every morning, and
spreading evenly a little fresh, re-
moving the whole only four five
times u year. Its advantages appear
to be many, of which L will state a
few which give it, in my estimation,
its greatest superiority over straw.
1t is peculiarly beneficial to the feet,
affording them cool, porous stuff
ing, a substitute for the soil of earth
we always find in the hoofs of horse
at grass, and presents the nearest
resemblance to the horses natural
footing-the earth. Whenever heard

of sawdust in the stable now some
years since. Horses bedded OH saw
dust are also freer from dust and
stains than when an ordinary litter,
simply because sawdust is a better
absorbent, perhaps, and testify their
approval OF it by frequently lying
down for hours in the day. 1t has
also the recommendation of being
uneatable-an advantage which ali
in charge of horses with the habit of
eating their litter will readily admit

Taxation.

The true theory oftaxation is to OBJ
tam the greatest amount Of revenue
with the least expense and the great
est certainty of collection. The clause
IN the Constitution of Tennessee pro-
Vldlng that taxation shall be uniform
on all species of property is an G1
captandum popHl1De humbug. Taxa
ton can never be uniform on real and
personal property because personal
property will always get ont of the
reach OF the assessor and col
lector, while the real estate being fixed
has to pay for all. 1t would be much
simpler, more honest and decidedly
better policy to levy no taxes upon
anything but land. The buildings and
improvements should not be taxed. for
they are perishable. Let the land nav
the tax, and then the land owner. if a
farmer, will add his tax to the price
OF products, instead of having it de-
Quoted at the sale as it is now. through
the taxation on merchants and monev.
II the real estate is in cities. the 1ner-
chant pays his tax once for all in his
rent, knows exactly what he has to nav
and is at no further trouble. Money
being free will not hide itself as it now
does from oppressive taxation, butwill
be employed in commerce and manu-
features. Moreover such system of
taxation will raise the standard of
mercantile honor by doing away with
the temptation to equiyocation and
even perjury that besets every mer-
chant under the present inquistorial
law, which compels him to disclose the
secrets OF his business as basis for
taxation Let the law tax nothing
mat can get out OF sight, that is to say
but land. Let tax titles he /
made perfect. Let money, commerce I
manufactures and mining be as free as 1
and Tennessee will outstrip \
every old fogy State in the Union 1
which does not adopt similar policy. /
