the people 0f that State, aud de-
nnonstrates that the party which
triumphed at the polls last fall Is

zion was the shortest that las been
held in twenty Tour years, and the
shortest hut one that has ever been
held IN the State. In every item
Of sexperlses the reformers have

if there be plenty of that; but we are
under the necessity of varying ii
somewhat. Grass tails sometimes.
The pasturage has to he supplemented
even in midsummer, and the sowing
of corn Is the most common. This
crop should be sown in succession so
that il may be used from time to time
az needed, and should be cut when it
is in the bloom, in order to make 1t of
the greatest value for feeding. For

the milk secretion. Meal, unless
mixed with water, does not increase
the flow of milk, and yet, some cows
will thrive well under Its use, and
seem to require 1t, and it will increase
