To Clinton Grange No. l, Patrons Of
Husbandry.
In obedience to instruction, your
Committee to whom was referred tho
subject a. tho anse Of p.od,.einv cot-
ton, corn and sweet Potatoes. would
beg leave to submit the following re-
port, t0-wit.
1t costs thirteen cents to produce
one pound of lint cotton.
1t costs one dollar to produce q
bushel of corn.
1t costs fifty cents to proluce a
buslel of potatoes.
This estimate is based upon a half
bale Of cotton, twelve bushels corn.
and fifty bushels potatoes per acre.
Should the producer have to buy
any considerable quantity of his corn,
tile cost of cotton will not be less than
Is cents per pound of lint.
1t is estimated that a hand will
cultivate eight acres in cotton, six in
corn and one in potatoes.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted by Yours fraternall;,

RAISING C0ws.--Many fail by talk
ing too long j time to grow q cow.
We believe ii keeping young animals
growing all the time. With good
care and plenty Of good food, it is as
easy to have a heifer paying Der peep
ing at two years old as to wait till
she is three. We claim that nothing
but system of starvation aud neg
lect requires three years to bring q
calf to maturity. The cost Of carry.
ing a heifer. through her third year
before calving We contend, is nearly
all thrown away. 1t is no small sat-
isfaction to the owner of good herd
of milk cows to know that they arc
all acquainted, and are on good terms
with each other; that they know no
other home, and are perfectly content
ed to remain in it. We seldom sec
cattle fighting or injuring each other
which have always been together. 1t
is the strange COW in the yard that
sets them all in a fury. If COWS can
never do their best at the nail unless
they are quiet and contented, what
may be expected of them where they
are changed about from one strange
yard to anotller9 We have known
instances of two cows being brought
together at home at home they we're
good COWS, but in their new quarters
they were almost worthless from con.
slant fighting for the mastery. lfyou
would have quiet, peaceable and con-
tented stock, raise it yourself and
handle it daily from calfhood to ma
turity.-New England Farmer.
