WINTER MANAGEMENT OF CATTLE
AT A PRIZE FARM.-The Royal Agri-
cultural Society Of England last year
awarded the first prize Of 9150 $3.50
to Mr.. Powell, of Eglwysnunyd. His
method Of managing his cattle deserves
particular notice, as being one that
might well be adopted on many Of our
stock farms. He keeps herd of 12O
s.efords. The COWS drop their calves
in autumn and winter, and the calves
are allowed to suck for four or five
months. They are confined, five or
six together, in boxes partitioned off,
and go to the cows in the yard twice
day. They are given as soon as they
will eat it, some of the best hay, pulped
roots, and small quantity of oats and
pea-meal. The COWS are fed straw,
rough hay, and sliced roots; and on
this feed keep always fat. When the
calves are weaned, the COWS are MIXED
and butter and cheese are made. Such
winter treatment is far more profitable
than that common amongst ps, 4ox our
stock is generally during this season
merely kept alive, or, if prevented from
losing flesh, certainly very RARELY IN
crease in weight. ~

The Chillingham Cattle.

In the extreme northeastern part of
England, in the county Of |Northum-
berland, is small reml laht Eof an ex-
tensive ancient forest Which at one time
stretched far northwardsl into Scotland.
This piece Of forest is called Chilling
ham Park. In it:isLChillingham castle,
one Of the seats of an ancient noble
family of England, the Earls of Tank
erville. The park, as such, has been in
existence for eight or ten centuries, and
within its boundaries have been pre-
served during all that lapse of time a
remnant Of the ancient race of cattle
which inhabited Europe even in that
prehistoric time when the cities now
submerged beneath the waters of the
Swiss lakes were peopled. The scien-
ti6c name given to these cattle, Bos
rrsnsigenius, sufficiently explains their
great antiquity. Of them none now
remain but this herd of Chillingham.
and a few other less important specimen
herds in some other similar parks and
Enclosures. They are thus the Oldest
race of cattle now existing. They are
not domesticated, and are purposely
kept wild as possible, so that they NAV
furnish sport for their owner and his
friends in hunting them. Notwith-
standing, they are readily domesticated
when kept apart from their semi.wild
companions. These cattle are white in
color, with the inside of the ears red
dish-brown, eyes surrounded with black
ring, muzzles brown, hoofs black and
the horns white tipped with black. The
bulls have no dev-lap, and no name but

length. o.. .-<

crops that Require Rich Land.

1t is an important point for farmer
to ascertain which Of his crops require
the richest land to produce a maximum
growth ; and it is often still more im
Portant for him to determine to what
crop he had better apply his manure.
1t a farmer had all the manure he need.
ed to enable the soil to produce the
largest yield that the season was capa-
Ole OF organizing, the first question
would be more important than the sec-
ond: But such is seldom the case, and
We have often to ask ourselves which
crop is the best to plant on the richer
and which on the poor fields.
Mangel-wurzel, carrots, onions and
rutabagas must have rich land to pro-
duce maximum crop. So must Indi-
an corn. Barley requires richer land
than winter wheat. But this does not
tell the whole story: As rule, those
crops which require the most labor in
planting, cultivating, hoeing, and har-
vesting, should be sown on the richest
land. To spend as much labor and ma
nure in preparing field for = crop of
buckwheat as for one of POTATOES is
manifestly absurd. If the deaFo11a ca
pable of producing 300 bush bel$6 Of pdta-
toes per acre, We should ait to bring
the soil up to this degree Of productiv ve-
ness, because potztue crop requires a
good deal Of labor, and il nearly as
much for a small crop as for a large
one. For instance take two adjoining
acres, one rich enough to produce 300
bushels per acre: and the other only
capable of producing 100 bushels; the
expenses and receipts would be some

How they Kill Cattle In Texas.

The ordinary plan of drawing the
steer down to the block, and striking
him on the head with an az, is too
slow for the wholesale butchery carried
on here. About one dozen head are
driven into small pen, just sufficiently
large to hold that number closely packed
and gate forced to behind them
This bed has an open slat platform
across the top Of it, upon which tw6
men are stationed with poles With shafp
pointed knives fixed on the end of them.
With a rapidity acquired by Rng hrac.
tice, they plunge their spears into the
necks Of the affrighted and struggling
animals, cutting the 5juguisr vein, aud
each successively falls as if struck
down with an Ak. The blood spurts
out in streams as if from a fountain.
and in less than minute the whole
pen full are down squivering in the
throes of death, and covered with blood.
The door Of the pen leading into the
rendering room is then thrown open,
the animals drawn out in succession, a
knife rapidly s. Its the skin around the
neck and down the stomach. A rope
,s attached to the upper part Of the
hide by clamp, to the other end Of
which is mule, which leisurely walks

10 this matter Of mileage grab" enough
to ascertain the facts 10 the case, which are
as follows: The said representative was
member Of the mileage committee, he
labored for the short route for Lamoile

same plan throughout the State and in the
finai adjustment of this county was the
only one who voted for the short route.
After this he consulted other representa-.

could not get to Montpelier by public con.
veyance in any one day, except BY rail,
and they decided as it was the custom of
the State, and the only route they tray.

politician might; but did receive pay for

Now would it not be hard matter to make
this community believe that these men did

ccpting this fee. Would it not be well
for the public to know that you are actu-
