How to Fatten Cattle.

Shippers term it. / want here to state
that good blood is important. but NOT

termed good seller. In order to fat
ten steer to bring the highest market
price, he must be kept in a growing
condition from calf, and in no case al
lowed to go hungry. It is the starving
the first and second winters which willis

to be sold at a reduced price. No
amount OF feeding will make him first

color or blood. An animal we'll fed Il

years old, will be smooth. with homes

Estimates of the Cotton Crop of '7s--4.

There is a cotton pool composed of
southern cotton-buyers, with headouar-
ters at Augusta. Each member putting
So into the pool has a right to make
an estimate of the cotton crop for that
year, the nearest entitled to all the
money. The pool for 1874 has been
closed with one hundred and seventy
estimates and $3.50. Charleston, Savan-
nah, New York, Macon, Rock Hill, S.
c., Mobile, Montgomery, New Orleans,
Americas and other places sent forward
estimates. Charleston contributed twen-
ty-five. Savannah thirty, Macon eight,
Rock Hill seven, and the other points
each smaller number. Augusta has
the largest amount of stock in the pool.
The lowest estimate made was 3.91S,-
203 bales, and the highest 4.40S, 294,
while the average of the one hundred
and seventy-two is AIS, 1888. The crop
is TO be decided by the Financial and
Commercial Chronicle, of New York, of
September 4, 1874.

i" Grandad in the Irgle.,,


The London correspondent of the
New York Herald gives the following
extract from a new ballad by Robert
Buchanan, entitled, g Grandad In the
Ipgle." One sustained idea runs
through it-that of the extreme old age
of man, all whose associations, expe-
riences, achievements, perils and crimes
are of the sea. This is perfectly main
tanned with skill, which hides the art
of it, and completeness most thorough
"; every simile, every suggestion, ev-
cry local feature is In harmony with it :
As still he sat as a cold gray stone
Upon the lone sea sands.
His thin gray hair as white as foam,
Like drifting weeds his hands
His ewes were dead and duh and cold
As the jelly fab on the rock;
His ears were closed and his heart kept time
To the ticking of the clock.
His cheeks wsre pale, his lips were dumb.
He sat in the ingle glow.
Still as stone on the low sea sand,
Though the tide doth come and go:
Though the sun may come on its cold moist
side,
And make glistening CLEAN;
| Though the storm may dash and the lightning
| flash,
And the startled sea birds scream.
! Too late! too late he is old, so old,
/ He hears no human call.
/ F He cannot smile, he cannot weep.
! His blood flows on as dark as sleep,
| He lives, and that is all

BITTER MEDICNEs.-Th last number
of La France Medicale contains a paper
on the best means of correcting the bit
ter in medicines. The value of sugar
as an agent is generally conceded. On
the one hand, the infusion of gentian is
extremely disagreeable, while the strip
may be readily taken, provided the ac-
ton of the sugar is not enfeebIed by
the addition of water. The one known
substance which in the highest degree
possesses the property of muf1ing bit
ter is glycerhizine, the sweet principle
of the licorice-root. If, after taking
quinine, colocynth, aloes, quassia or
other bitter medicine, piece of licor-
rice-root be taken, the bitter taste dis
appears as if by magic An analogous
action occurs between bitter almonds
and musk, between anise and vaIerian.
The effect is merely that of an antago-
nism between the two as they affect the
sense of taste. Thus the ordor of musk
is temporarily destroyed by essence of
bitter almonds, but returns when the
essence has evaporated.

Rrnnchiffa.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry Che air we breathe
into the lungs. It arises from a cold settled
in the throat, from catarrh extending to these
parts, fro % scrofulous affections, and from Sc
we're use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the IarsTlJ and
glOttis which are the organs of the voice, and
coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs
and terminate in consumption. It is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases of this dis
ease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has achieved unparalleled success, and won
the loudest praise from all who have used it.

The EARrH's AGE.-Dr. Herman J.
Klein has just published, at Cologne, a
somewhat curious inquiry concerning
the age of the earth, in which he Sc
Ssrely criticizes the attempts of the ge-
ologists to compute the length of time
required for certain formations. Thus
Blddle calculates the age of the AIissis-
s1ppl Delta, from the amount of the
present yearly deposit, to be four hun
dred Thousand years Lyle, the reced-
ing of the Niagara Falls from Kingston
to their present site to be thirty-five
thousand years, and Bischof the time
for the formation of coal to nine mil
lions Of years. But all these and nu-
merous other similar calculations have.
DIR. Klein thinks, this faul5: that they
are all based upon present conditions
and experiments on a small scale, from
which conclusions are drawn to deter
mine general developments of the most
gigantic dimensions. ga

EFFECTS OF OsCMLATIoN.-Asc scientific
writer has recently colIated a group of
facts illustrative of the effect of oscilla-
ton of powerful bodies when not fire.
quently broken by vibration. In cross
ing large suspension bridges it is es-
teemed that professions should break
step IN order to insure safety; and it is
told, in illustration, that when the first
suspension bridge was building in En-
gland, fiddler offered to demolish it
with his fiddle. Striking one note after
another, he eventually hit the vibrating
note or fundamental tone, and threw
the structure into extraordinary vibra-
tons. Only recently a bridge went
down In France under the tread of a
regiment of infantry who neglected to
break step on entering it. Three hun
dred persons were drowned. The ex.
pertinent of breaking a tumbler or other
glass vessel by frequent repetitions of
some particular note of the human
voice belongs to the same class of phe-
nomena.
