NAThKiNG PLANTS n SuMMER.-Plants
growing in the open ground and fully exposed
to the sun are frequently ruined by the very
means taken to savc--by watering in hot dry
weather. Generally moisture soou evapo'
rates, leaving the soil dry and hard--almost
impcrvious to air rs well as to the dews. But
dis is not the only nor the greatest evil
which results from the ordinary slight water.
ings which plants get The temporary su-
pertCIal moisture causes the roots to seek the
surface, where, in the intervals between the
waterngs, the heat and drought destroy them,
and the plants become staunied or die out
right The remedy lies in q more thorough
irrigation and in different mode of apply
ing the water. In the case OF young and
large herbacgous plants, the best way is to
carefully serape away the soil around them
to the depth Of an inch or two, forming a.
shallow basin iu,o which sufficient water
should be poured 10 iuoistcn well in the
ground as deeply and as widely as the roots
extend When the water has soaked in, the
dry earth should be returned which viii pre-.

In Massachusetts, there is a State Board OF
Health, which has been paying attention to
the sanitary condition of farmers. Its fourth
annual report is published, and an article on
the above subject, based upon the reports of
country physicians, appears. This testi,
mony, including evidence collected the past
twenty-eight years, shows that the average
life of the Massachusetts farmer is sixty.five
and one fourth years--a greater longevity
than that OF any other class. Yet is claim
ed that farmers might live much longer if
they were better and more carefully fed, lived
upon more nutritious and Wholesome diet, ate
with greater deliberation, and we're careful
not to engage in active exercise too soon after
eating. They should eat more fruit and veg
etables, less of pork, pies, cakes, salcratus
biscuit, take pains to protect themselves bet,
ter from sudden changes OF temperature, dc.
odorizc cesspoos, sinks uut.houscs, and keep
clean back yards; change clothing and
battle more frequently Such statistics and
suggestions are valuable. and deserve the at
tCntiOn Of farmers.

FEEDIHc DAIRY COws.-At the recent
meeting of the Northwestern Dairymen 5
Association the subject offeed for dairy COWS
was thoroughly discussed.
Mr.. Eldred, of Iowa Falls, said that milk
is produced not on account of the number of
cows kept, but from the kind aud abundance
of food eaten He instances the case of a
New York daryman who was not satisfied
with the yield of his six COWS, $50 lbs. of
cheese per head sold half of them and real
lied 200 lbs. per head As grasses were liza.
Bile ia fail in summer, material for soiling
should be in readiness. Give corn to hogs
and beef cattle, bat feed 'milch cows bran,
shorts, rye, barley. oats amt buckwheat In
his opinion they should be fed wet. Water
is an essential element N producing milk,
and the supply should not be stinted. Cows
should have salt every day. If they had it
they would eat more drink more, and give
more milk. To rccapitulatc The feed
should be abundant; and that it may be
abundant, system of soiling should be
adopted during the summer drought and au-
tumn. 1t should be Of nature suited to the
production Of milk. The "mesSH of ground
feed should not be omitted night and morn.
ing. An abundance of water should be given
and the COWS should be induced to take large
quantities Of it, Salt every day,

PORK RAIsNG.-My own theory OF pork
raising, based upon experience, observation
and probably a little philosophy of things, If
written for the benefit of others, would be
about as follows: During the hot summer
months / should feed very little solid feed,
such Us corn IN the car or uncraCkcd |
would keep hogs upon green feed constantly,
either grass, oats or rye, and feed them at
regular intervals, once or twice per day, upon
mashed feed, either shorts, chopped oats or
rye, buCkwheat etc, fed In troughs. When
fed in this way, and at the same time allowed
access to water and shade, hogs will bear
crowdrng through the hot months, very
good time, if not the best, to take on flesh.
This puts them in the best condition for corn
feeding, which should commence about the
list of September, when the new crop is still
soft and tender. Treated in this way hogs
become probably rs perfect as any method
could make them. Upon the whole, too, |
believe it the cheapest and most economical.

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND JOSEPH E. JOHN
sToN.-In a brilliant speech delivered a
few days ago at Atlanta, Ca, for the
Southern Historical Society, the Hon. B..
Fl. Hill denied emphatically that General
Joseph E. Johnston had been removed from
the command of the Confederate army at
Atlanta, Ca, by order of President Davis.
Mr.. Hill said:
You have all heard it said that Mr.. Da-
Wis was moved by personal hostility to
Johnston in making this removal. This is
not only not true, but is exceedingly false.
I do know much on the subject of this
removal. l was the bearer of messages
from General Johnston to the President,
and was in Richmond, and sometimes pres
ent, at the discussions on the subject.
never saw as much agony in Mr.. Davis
face as actually distorted it, when the pos
sible necessity for this removal was first
suggested to him. I never heard eulogy
pronounced upon Johnston by his best
friends equal to that which heard from
Mr.. Davis during these discussions. know
he consulted with Gen. Lee fully, earnestly
and anxiously before this perhaps unfortu-
nate removal. l know that those who
pressed the removal hrss and most earn
estly in the Cabinet, we've those who had
been most earnest for Gen. Johnston's orig
lnal appointment to that command. All
these things do personally know. I was
not present when the order for removal
was determined on, but l received it i'm
mediately after from member of the
Cabinet, and do not doubt its truth that
MIR. Davis was the very last man who gave
his assent to that removal.
