formed that the Southern Express Company
will commence to-day to carry through ex-

Packages from New York will now be re,
ceised at Knoxville as quickly by express

Two.Yenr-Old Beef.

The English are noted for the early age at
which they force their cattle to the beef point.
How it is done was told by a farmer at
meeting of the Kingscote Agricultural As.
sociation:
Twelve COWS are engaged in rearing calves,
which are fattened from birth, and are sold at
about twenty-five months old, when they
weigh from 100 to 200 stone. The calves are,
of course, we'll bred. while those calves which
have to be purchased are carefully selected.
They are weaned at three months old, having
been previously kept short of milk, and fed
partly on cruel, and thus induced to feed on
Oiicake and hay. Supposing them to be
weaned in December, their daily ration at six
months old would be one and three-fourths
pounds or two pounds of linceed cake, with
the same quantity of bean meal, and a suffi-
cient amount of grain, mangolds and hay.
The cake and meal are gradually increased,
till at twelve months old the calves get twice
the quantities just mentioned.
In summer the other articles Of diet which
have been named are replaced by trifoium.
(which is excellent food while bit lasts,) tares
(Which is also goodl and grass, with second
cut clover. The whole of the green food is
cut and brought to the animals in their sheds
and houses, which they do not quit till the
proper period arrives for sending them to the
butcher, by which time their daily rations
have been increased to four pounds OF cake
and six pounds of bean meal, with roots and
moderate allowance Of hay. The principle
of management is to let the animals contlnu-
aly master OF outgrow their food, pushing
them on rapidly the last three months, so as
to land them fat at something under two
years old.
After some discussion, the following resolu-
ton was passed by large majority This
meeting is of opinion that well-bred calf, II
kept well from the time it is dropped, and not
turned out the first year, can be brought out
fit for the butcher at two years old, withPro-

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Ralky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, puts forth set of rules for the
treatment of balky horses, which rules, unfor-
tunately, do not always work. The best way
is to have nothing to do with balky horses.
But, nevertheless, some one of these rules, as
well as a hundred others, do work in particu-
lar cases. They are as follows:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then ON the other, speaking encouragingly
while doing so; then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him go round in cir
Gle till he is giddy. If the first dance of this
sort doesn't cure him, the second will.
3. To cure balky horse simply place your
hand over the horses nose and shut of his
wind until he wants to 60, and then let him
go.
4. The brain of horse seems TO enter
tain but one idea at time; therefore contn-
ued whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve. 1t you can, by any means, give him
new subject to think of, you will generally
have no trouble in starting him. A simple
remedy is to take couple of turns of stout
twine around the foreleg, just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and tie in
bow knot. AT the first check he will gen.
orally go dancing of, and after going short
distance you can get out and remove the
string, to prevent injury to the tendon in
your further drive.
5. Take the tail Of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie it by cord to the saddle
girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear.
close to his head.
