When Prof. L. b.. Arnold said
that if fine meal is fed to an OK or a

what is the exact fact, and probably

clearly comprehended, by inadver.
tence. The formation Of the COM
pound stomach of the OK or COW is
such that the gullet communicates d.
rectly with three Of the four COM
partments of which the stomach is
composed. The communication is
by means of canal or passage in
which there are longitudinal open

closed by a set of muscles which re-

When to Gut Grain.

The period of ripening of grain is
that at which the grain contains the
largest portion Of nutriment. 1t is
not that at which the grain is hard
est or of the brightest color, or parts
most readily from the capsule or en-
velope in which it is contained. In
deed, considerable p art of the rip
ening process should take place in
the shock or the stack. If it is al
lowed to ripen, or. in other words,
dry and harden completely while
standing, the grain loses much of its
nutritive properties. AS in clover,
hay, or grass, a large portion of the
sugar, starch, and gum is changed
into woody fibre by standing after a
certain period, so grain is deteriora-
ted by over-ripening. The husk be-
comes developed at the expense of
the kernel, and the yield Of flour
from overripe wheat is less than
from that cut in the proper season.
Myow practice has been to watch
the fields closely, especially around
the outside or along the fences, be-
cause it is there that the grain ripens
first. As soon as l find that the
grain shells readily and has taken
a fine white straw-color, and when
crushed between the edges of the
nails of the thumb and forefinger
produces powdery, starchy sub
stance, which is in no way pasty or
doughty, turn in the reaper at once.
If the grain is left until it is too hard
to be easily crushed in this way, it is
too ripe and it's quality is inferior.
From my experience in milling, as
well as farming, l am satisfied that
it is best for the miller as well as
the farmer that wheat, rye, oats, or
barley should be cut at the precise
point here described. When the
season is drier than usual l would
hasten the period somewhat.-A
Pennsylvania Farmer, IN the Neac
York Tribune.

Curing Clover Hay.

The N. Y. Times says: In making
hay from clover we have for many
years practiced the following meth
cd: In clear weather commence NOV
ing as soon as the dew is off; let il
remain in the swath till 3 or o'clock
in the afternoon, then with the fork
take the swaths up in flakes and put
up cocks that will average about fif
ty pounds Of dried hay. The cocks
remain untouched for twenty-foul
hours, then they are very carefully
pitched over in flakes, and two cocks
are put in one; from nine to ter
o'clock the third day they are open.
ed, and if the weather has been fail
the hay will be in good order to get
in after dinner, without any liability
to heat. Though we generally
sprinkle few quarts of salt to each
load as slowed away. This is as
short time rs clover can be made
by cutting, spreading, turning, rak
ing open, &c, as is practiced by many
farmers. BY the above process most
of the leaves and heads are left in the
field, while by making mostly in the
cock the leaves and heads are princi
pally retained, and the whole mass
retains its color and it's clover odor:
and horses, cattle and sheep eat il
with avidity. 1t is true we cannot
always be sure of three good hay
days in succession, and in case OF
rain ebay caps" come into profitable
use, not only in protecting clover
but other kinds of hay.

Potato Digging with a Machine


Col. d. c. Richmond, near Sandus
ky, in letter to me, stated that he
dug his potatoes last season with /
newly invented machine of Mr.. II
Carrier, Of Mentor, Lake county; ht
was highly pleased with the opera
ton of the machine, and he wanted
to know if l had seen or heard OF
it's performance in this county. He
said he not only could raise four hun
dred bushels of potatoes on an acre
without difficulty with the aid OF
Paris green to choke off the bugs
but he could dig them in one day
with his machine, if his boys would
only take care of them as fast as
dug. In short, he considered it alto
gether the best machine extant fol
the purpose, and so he purchased the
one taken there for trial.
had seen this machine on exhibi
ton but not in actual use, and had
not then heard of its being used in
this county, except by the inventor
while experimenting with it, though
it was used there about that time.

sagcs to the third stomach, which is
what is commonly called the mani
pies. The gullet ends at the en-
trance to this part Of the stomach,
and goes no further. The third COM
partment Of the stomach commune
Gates with the fourth by passage
entirely distinct from the gullet.
Food, therefore, from the gullet can
not enter into che fourth stomach
without passing through the third.
The fourth stomach, or compartment
Of the whole stomach is the only one
in which the process of digestion
takes place. 1t is the rcnnet of the
calf. No food is returned from it
nor from the third to the mouth for
rumination. The "cud' is elected
from the first or second or both of
these compartments by periodical
action of the muscles. The morsel
elected is formed into ball or bolus
in the canal, and is forced through
the throat by muscular excrtion ex-
lctly the reverse of that Of swallow
ing into the mouth. Here it is chew
ed along with copious supply OF
saliva until it becomes a liquid mass,
which, when swallowed, passes SO
readily along the gullet as to leave
the entrances whence it issued un-
opened, and passing over them es-
capes into the third compartment
after which it is carried into the
fourth or true digestive stomach
How long the food stays in the
maniples or third compartment or
stomach, is not known; probably a
very short time; hence the fact that

fourth stomach when the animal was
killed Immediately after the meal
was swallowed. But it of course

ment on its way to the fourth one

AN Ohio farmer writes as follows:
81 have a town lot planted in early
potatoes, which for the last two
years has been allowed to grow up
thick with mustard after the pota-
toes were worked out the last time.
AS result, mustard came up very
thick this spring before the potatoes
appeared, and when the plants were
up the ground was SO dry and hard
l could not have them worked.
This mustard is very thick among
them, but it does not seem to inter
fere in the least with their growth.

HON. LLOYD LewNDES, Jr.

Among the many victims of misplaced
confidence in the recent Congressional
elections is Mr.. LLOYD LowNDEs, Jr.,
the present Radical representative IN
Congress Of the Sixth Maryland district.
This gentleman is well known personally
to MANY of our citizcus. His defeat was
not unexpected, for the negroes OF his
district took otfcnsc at him, and put All
independent colored candidate in the
field against him. However, it seems
that the Cumberland Ne'1s is unwilling
to admit that this was the cause of his
defeat. 1t claims that the colored gen
tlcman polled ridiculously small vote,
which did not materially reduce that OF

IT Is very curious to read the COM
mcnts Of the Radical press on the dc'ige.
One gives one reason why the Democrats
won, another, another. While one says
that the people wouldn't vote, another
says that it was the third term, and the
heavy charges brought against the party
which ruined it; still third admits all
these things, but says that the sentiments
of the people arc not changed that they
merely intended to rebuke these evils
now; but will return to the Radical fold
in IS. This is the quccrest OF all. Queer
to confess that all this time, these journ-
ais have been advocating and UNFOLDING
what they knew to be wrong, and very
queer, to imagine that the people, after
rcbuking the party, should be willing to
endorse it again immediately.

THE MILLS AND wORKMEN.

Under this head we republish to-day
IN article from the Pittsburgh Dispatch
of Saturday, announcing the fact that Il
conference between committees of iron
manufacturers and their employees would
take place in that city, for the purpose OF
coming to an agreement regarding
wages. II seems that under the sliding
scale adopted i'll that city, wages
bear certain proportion I" the
cost of the material until 1t
reaches certain price--thrce cents
per pound. In consequence of which,
puddlers arc paid ST per ton. The NAH
uracturcrs say that the price of iron hay
inc fallen below 3 cents, and they still
being forced to pay at the same rate, rs
when ut that figure, they cannot afford
longer to keep up the manufacture, and
unless the puddlers and boilers Union
agree to smaller wages, the mills must
stop. OF course this is very important
question, and would necessarily effect
the mills here, AS they are governed by
the same scale rs arcthe Pittsburgh mills.
We have received no inform
alton, rs yet, as to the result
of the Conference, aud, upon
consulting with those i'll this city inter
csted in iron manufacture, We are in
formed this nothing has been received 10y
them regarding the movement; that
this conference has been talked Of for
some time, but, in all probability, has, as
vet, assumed no definite shape. One gen
tlcman informed lis that he was in Pitts
burgh on Saturday, but heard nothing
further there and that the mills there
had not stopped work. A short time i'll
the future will probably determine the
matter one way or the other.

THE PRESIDENTS CONSOLATION

The President will despite of every
thing, cling TO his idea that the third
term commotcn was simply II ncwspa-
per sensation, and had nothing whatever
to do with the result of the recent cleo
tons. Being visited by Col. MosBY, his
most devoted friend, lately, and they two
discussing the question, His Exccllency
remarked that the only man who de-
nounced the third term in the Utica
Convention was badly beaten; DIX who
dlsclaimed it in New York, was also
beaten. Pennsylvania which opposed it,
WAS numbered with the Democracy
while South Carolina, which sincerely
endorsed it, is preserved.
Thus it is seen, upon what cold COM
fort the President is forced to rely, when
he can summon South Cardinals Radio
ism, as a consoling idea. OF course that
State went Republican, and endorsed the
third term. Why shouldn't she? With
q large majority of ignorant negroes TO
do the voting for her, and with those
voters manipulated and controlled by
lot of carpet baggers, how was it pos
siblc for her to do otherwise. The men
who rule her, know full well, that in
President Grant. they have firm friend,
and that under his protection, they
have hourishcd, fattencd, robbed
and stolen with impunity. That should
he be turned out of office and nm OPP
ponent Of his and theirs be chosen, that
they would no longer have the L :.
army at their beck aud call I" overawe
citizens and maintain them i'll
wicked outrageS, OF course, under their
guidance. south Carolina will vote for
third term or any number of terms. But
it is by no means subject for PrcSlden-
tial consolation. The intelligence of the :
land has spoken against this pet idea and I.
who knows but that by the time another T.
election comes around, the negroes of /
South Carolina, like those of Louisiana
and other Southern States, will have die
covered that il is no longer TO their true
interests to be led by the nose by adren-
turours carpet-baggers, and even they
may vote against Grantism.
