Effect of Paris Green on the CsIa.

upon ten acres of cotton, which was COW

Wednesday after the third Sabbath III

few worms could be found-the cotton
remaining green, retained It's leaves and

cotton on all sides was literally stripped

Of all our established breeds, the
Aryshyre is undoubtedly the best and
most profitable for the dairy. There is
not a breed known IN the world to Guido
the Ayrshire in giving the largest flow of
milk Some writer's attest that large
mixers give milk ola poor, watery quail
ity, while on the other hand, the milk of
those that give the least is richest in quail
ity. Be that as it may. it is founded on
practical experiments made on the milk of
different breeds OF cattle, of the same age,
and having the same food, that the Ayr
shire is an exception TO the rule laid
down by some agricultural writer's, be-
cause of yielding large flow of milk:
sweet in taste, and excellent in quality
1t is not rare to find an Ayrshire COW to
yield 900 gallons Of milk per annum.
The milking properties Of this valuable
animal are recognized and appreciated all
the world over, wherever the breed is
found, and in its own seat liz Scotland
from which it takes sname, it commands
the reputable desideratum of every intel
ligent dairyist.
The breed is hardy, and can subsist on
scanty pastures where other animals would
fail
The color Of the Ayrshire beast is either
red or white and spotted or mottled, some
times red, but rarely strawberry, and
also brown and white The head is
small and clean, the face long and mar
row at the muzzle, the eyes small and
well formed, (the eve must be always for
ward The horns short, fine, and slightly
skull; its neck thin; its body enlarging
from the hind to lower quarter, narrow in
trent, and widening to the hind quarters !;
the back straight aud narrow always over
the ribs, but broad across the loins; its
joints free, not full up with flesh; its ribs
somewhat flat, hind quarters thin; the
bone fine; tail long and 6ne, vet bushy at
the tip; the hair generally thin and soft;
the udder of light color, and large, ex-
tendeng long forward under the belly;
teats Of a medium size, set regular and
wide apart, usually standing at right an
giles, and pointing to the ground; the car
eass is usually light, PARTICULARLY the
fore quarter; the head Is small; the neck
IS slender and long; the legs small and
short, with strong joints; the skin thin;
tic HIN NOA1o fOSAOuS anu
smoothly through the teats.
The greatest attention has been be-
slowed in developing the milking proper
ties of the Ayrshire cattle recently by
our modern breeders, and this accounts
for the inaptitude of the animals to fat
ten under ordinary treatment Its, how
ever, true that Ayrshire cattle put up fat
pretty rapidly while not giving milk,
which leads US to believe that by blending
together the two properties (of fattening
and milking We could easily produce a
herd of animals suitable for the dairy and
for the market, and this could be easily
done by crossing an Ayrshire dam with
Shorthorn sire. But let it not be forgot
ten that the efficacy Of this time-honored
breed consists in its adoption for the dairy,
a fact which should never be be lost sight
Of, and consequently it is just to keep the
breed pure, and use the utmost care in
always bringing it to perfection. Mass.

Large Yield ofCorn.

Ths Washington Co., Pa, Agricultu-
raj Society recently appointed a committee
to examine a large field Of corn and re
port the method If culture and the yield.
They visited the farm Of j. ". Dickey,
of West Alexander, to see the field in
question. and reported substantially as fol-
lows:
The field was in sod eighteen years; was
formally rather poor, but had been pas
tured with sheep the above mentioned
time. 1t was plowed early as the frost
would allow at an aver &c depth OF two
and a half to three inches deep. 1t was
narrowed six times over just before plant
ing: marked in rows each way, two feet
five inches, By three feet one inch, and the
average number OF stalks to the hill was
three and a half The corn was planted
about April 10th When the corn was
coming up the field was narrowed over
with a common harrow. After this the
three-shovel cultivator was used, then the
double shovel and for the last time the
single shovel pillow; twice in row each
working; in all it was worked five times
At last working, the corn was pto horses
back. There was by actual count lIO4
shocks of corn, which the committee
found to average two bushels, enc peek,
one quart and one pint Of shelled corn, or
one hundred ana sixty-nine bushels Of
sheIled cor per acre.
Mr. DicSey claims that by shallow

The Louisiana State Register INDUCES
in the following cant:
The freedmen are effectually refuting
the statement that they are idle and
worthless. During the most prosperous
times the cotton crop of the South never
went beyond 1900, 600 bales, and even
this was reached only three times; but
this year, despite the obstacles to con-
tinued industry, the crop furnishes 1, 900
600 bales. The sugar crop of Louisiana
also shows that the black man has been
industriouslv Mt work"
If the Register IS not willing or able to
ascertain the positive facts. it had better
not write about thing it does not know
more about than the blind about oolors.
If the South has produced i, 600, 600 bales
of cotton this year, it certainly is not by
the merits of the negro alone. The Reg
lister seem to ignore that since the war
not less than 5 1000, 600 whites have taken
hold Of the plough and are now produ-
GERS. We do not assert too much if we
say that half of the cotton produced at
the present in the South is made bv white
men and boys If the Register had
aimed at true statemet, il had the very
best opportunity to ascertain the facts.
During this past year there have been. at
a very low estimate, at least about Is. 600
able-bodied negroes and as many women
and half-grown children loafing about the
cities Of New ORLEANS and CarroIlton.
They have only managed to live by dep
redating on others property and asking
double pay for any little job they have
been able to obtain. Other cities and
towns can make the same exhibition. Is
it then reasonable or just to say that the
negroes, who, in spite Of all assertions to
the contrary Notwithstanding, are dimin-
ishing in number, have produced the
cotton2

Let me say word or two n0won refer

By deficient nutrition; an over-fed horse
may have a foot heated into an infiamma-

healthy state of the animal economy, that
for the foot alone, if nothing else, the
diet Of the horse should be- regulated

FARMING IN THE SoUrH. One Of the
greatest errors ia Southern farming has
been resting the soil after it was worn
out, that it may be recuperated by the
slow process Of the growth and decay of
crop after crop of weeds. Better rest
such land before it is exhausted by crop
of peas or Of other green crops ploughed
IN and save the years ii will take to fer
tilize the soil by the scany growth of
weeds. The application Of very little
farm-yard or special compost manure,
with the aid of the atmosphere, viii give
a green crop, and If two such crops are
necessary to bring the land to a bearing
fertility, it viii save time and be more
economical than to lose the use ct the
land for a much longer period, and then
have to manure it before it viii bring pay
