tention Before and during the time of
milking, the cow should have some
good hay or meal 1t is beneficial in
two ways: 1t is wholesome stay to
the stomach; it engrosses the attention
of the animal and keeps it quiet during
the operation; it helps to sustain the
stomach of large yielder, drained by
the flow of milk, and needing extra sus-
tenance for the growth of the unborn
calf. This should be done even during
pasture time say quart of good bran
at each milking; and if fed to them
under shed in the field, where they
could be fastened in stanchions, it saves
all necessity for driving the cows, it
keeps them quiet, and saves the time
and temper of the mixers in fly time,
and surely increases the yield and easy
flow
The hands should be dry and clean !;
wet hands chap the teats in cold wealth
err, and want of cleanliness produces
warts. The last milk withdrawn is
richer for the production of butter, one
pint than two quarts Of milk first drawn
off Imperfect milking will also dry
the COW much earlier than if properly
MIXED, and tend to decrease the guam
tity. A few days prior to calving,
should the bag be much distended, it
should be thoroughly relieved.
Whatever may be the cause of the
restlessness of the COW during milking,
gentleness is the only treatment that
should be allowed. A young animal
never forgets Entertainment, and will
withhold her milk
We have thus endeavored to gather
the experience of those who have made
the nature and management of cows a
lifelong study, and if we have present
ed nothing new to experienced farmers,
our object will be gained if they will
only put into practice what they know
already, and not treat the cow with in
different care, and expect the same rich
returns from their investment as if they
were properly cared for Remember
that all nature is alike, subject to the
same natural laws, and none of them
can be violated without paying a penal
ty. Get good COW of the best breed
for your purpose; not only select it
with care, but keep it in good condition
for profit, and in the long run she will
pay you better than if neglected. We
have trespassed upon your time too
long, but it is q subject not only of
great interest to all of US, but as much
might be properly said upon each one
of the questions discussed as has been
said upon them all combined.

EIHOn. George Geddes sneaEir

~ Hon. George Geddes, speaking
of the benefits of clover sod, in the
TRIBUNE of March 18th, SAYS to the
effect that field of his has been crop
ped continuously for seventy-four years
with no other manure than it's own
crops of clover turned under every fifth
year, such clover having been abund.
antly treated to gypsum for more than
fifty years. That Notwithstanding large
crops of wheat, corn, oats and barley
had in five years rotation been grown,
the land had continued to grow better.
1t is, however, generally admitted
that the mere growing and turning I'M
der of any green crop will not return
to the soil any inorganic element; that
is, if your land be deficient in lime,
potash, or similar elements, the grow
ing and turning of green crop will
not supply these elements.
Hence the Importance of an applica-
ton of some active fertilizers, such as
unadulterated guano, when seeding a
crop to be turned under The value of
the fertilizer will thus be greatly en-
HANGED. But if we apply fertilizer,
and soon thereafter take off a crop,
very little is left for the future improve.

A NOVEL THEORY.

The following dispatch was sent by
A. n. Duffre, the consul of the United
States at Cadiz, Spain, and commune
Gated to this Department by the Secre.
tary of State. 1t is now published
because of the novelty of the idea-that
the same influence which operates to
govern the ebb and flow of the tides,
produces a like corresponding effect
upon the flow of sap in growing vege,
tation:
A Madrid paper of respectable stand
ing, entitled La Epoca, has published,
in its issue of the 18th instant, an
article signed by Don Luis Alvarez
Alvistur, on the influence of the tides
on vegetation, in which the writer an
nounees a new theory, based on the
results obtained during fourteen years
devoted to experimental research, by an
enlightened landed proprietor of Lorca,
in the province of Murcia.
The theory adopted was the direct
influence of the tide on the circulation
of the sap, and its experimental applica-
ton after determining the meridian of
the estate and tabulating the correspon-
ding hours of ebb and flow, has been
the telling and looping of forest trees
solely during the hours pertaining to
the ebbing tide The results are stated
to have been conclusive, the decay an
nually observable formerly in some por-
ton of the timber having ceased COM
pletely in the many years that have
elapsed during the application of the
new principle. The system was then
applied to an olive grove, the yield of
which had ceased to cover the annual
costs of culture, by removing every
dried portion of the trees exclusively
during ebb tide The result is stated
to have been the complete transforma-
ton of the grove, great development
of foliage, and abundant crops.
Equally admirable results ensue from
the similar treatment of orange, lime,
and other fruit trees, which were thence
forth unaffected by larvae or other
plaques which smote adjoining orchards;
and finally the vineyard of the Lorca
landlord, though surrounded by those
of other proprietors which were devas-
tated by the oidium which appeared in
the district at the period when the new
system was first essayed, have never
exhibited the faintest trace of the pres
ence of the malady.
1t is likewise asserted that expert
ments made with equal sets of silk
worms, respectively fed on leaves of
trees treated by the ordinary and the
new system, the leaves under the new
plan being gathered exclusively at the
hours corresponding to the ebb tide,
resulted most decidedly in favor Of the
latter
Though thoroughly incompetent to
Judge the merits of the theory thus
added to the many which have con-
tended for the solution of the mystery
attending vegetable life, have still not
hesitated in calling your attention to it,
impressed by the proclamation of facts,
which can easily be tested, encouraged
by the hope that some benefit may
accrue to the agricultural interests even
from the mere experimental and semitic
investigation which it may induce or
foster

SALT TO A Pound OF BUTTER-At
recent meeting of the Fulton Farmers
Club, Pa, the question was asked, " How
much salt sho uld be put in a pound of

Sharpless, the noted dairymxn of Ches-
tie r county, which is one5unce of salt

THE ART OF MILKING.

Another matter to be attained to keep
the COW in profit is to see that she is
MIXED properly. AS general princi-
pie cows should be MIXED twice q day,
and the time should be regular, say at
six in the morning and six in the even
ing all the year round. If after caIv-
ing, in the early state of milk, it should
be found that the bag becomes too full
from extreme heat or other cause, it
will be advisable to reduce the bag in
the middle of the day; but some judy

CITY LITIGATION.

ATTACHMENTS AGAINST THE CITY, I C0A3LiCA-
TON OF AFFAIRS -wATKR RENTS ATTACHED
SALE OF CITY PROPERTY PROBABLE.
Several curious Instances OF the workings ol lie
ottochment Law have come 10 light, from time to
time but the most curious we have heard Of are
certain attachments which have recently been Is
sued against the city corporation OF Nllmn%ton,
for which judgements were obtained. The cireum-
stances are as fcliows:
Last fall. one Patrick Barnes, 0 contractor who
had taken various contracts IRON Tue ctty Ior srao
ing Streets was sued by three men IN his employ,
for wages due them, amounting TO SI5 10. At
tscbments were issued by Esquire Pdhl and placed
In the hands of Constable Truitt, who served them
on 81. CITY Treasurer killgore, on two ocfa iJLs
Oct. l4th and Oct. 2lst, 1874 The lausr' rs
gsrpishee and financial representative OF the CITY,
answered to having in hispossession funds amount
ing to Sl3,, owing to Patrick Barnes
Afterwards three other attachments against
Patrick Barnes, and one against WIN. lhoihson'
now deceased, q contrect ctor Cor removing ashes'
were served by Constable Pntchett on the CITY
treasurer the latter, before, answering to hay
ing funds In his possession belonging to tue parties
named The amount OF these attachments was
Sg2 81. In both oi these elses Judgment was rem
dered.
Still other alta bments were issued against Pat
ricl; Barses by Esquire Frazer, and served BY Con
stable Ward, on Joshua Marls President ot City
Council as carnishee, who not knowing that pre-
yious attachments had been Issued, also answered
to having funds belonging 10 bafueS. Judglheh
was accordingly rendered, but, was aiIerward
cer.ioraried by the Count
Tne nartics for whom Constable lratt 55Tye'
xero Elisha Duncan, John Z. Wright aud Thoma
Kellev Constable Pritchett served iof deo. ii

Foord the suit Of the last named party benz
against VIM. Thompson
But, although judgments were obtained agains
the CITY, they have not yet been satisfied the mat
Ter having been referred to the chairman OF III
Street Committee. Mr.. Adams, the City SohcitoI
Mr.. Spruance, and the President OF Council, All
Maris for settlement.
Y esterday afternoon, however, Constable frtcl
EFT, instituted summary proceedings in the matt

AGAINST the city. These gentlemen VIII answer
on Friday next, Feb. 9th, as to whether they al
really the city's debtors. Should they answer AT
6rmatiyely, their water tax will be appropriate
10 the settlements of the judgements; otherwl'
other means will be resorted to.
The affair Is becoming quite interesting anu
the creditors 80 order, Constable frItchett d'
cIsres his intention OF levying upon the properi

Meanwhile, no further steps will be taken
the matter, until after Friday next, when the a
