Food for Producing Milk.

7. 5. Gold. of the Connecticut Board
OF Agriculture, gave an address on this
topic. lie thought grass in summer and
dried grass in winter the most natural
food for the COW. Sowed corn properly
raised is the best substitute for grass
would SOW it thin enough so that the
stalks would have some size and sub
stance. He was not rs favorable to the
use of sweet corn as many. The DuttOn
corn is valuable; would SOW at the rate
of one and one half bushels of seed per
acre. Had used Hungarian grass for
sowing with excellent results, but it must
be cut at the right time or it is worth no
more than straw. lie was opposed to
changing pastures. on account of making
the cows uneasy. One field gives the best
results. In regard to grain or meal, he
preferred wheat bran rs feed for mich
cows. Indian meal, if used with roots,
might increase the flow of milk. but he
doubted whether it is the most profitable
kind of feed. There is a difference, how
ever, in cows. 1t will dry up some, and
help others. In spring, if cows are thin.
ii may be fed perhaps with advantage, il
not to increase the milk Immediately; but
when the cows come to grass, by impov-
eriShing their general condition. Farmers
in his vicinity had changed their minds in
regard to cutting and steaming food for
stock. They fail to find advantage in it,.

From the Bristol .NelUs we learn a
serious difficulty occurred last Thurs
| day, near the Bristol Woollen Mills,
between Sam'l p. Haynes and Ian
don Mooretield, beth of whom live
near Wallace's Switch. Some trouble
had occurred in town previously,
Moorefield calling Haynes damned
rascal, the latter resenting the indig-
nifty by striking HIM with chair.
MoOreiield and his brother Ham then
left in the direction of Wallace's, say
ing it wa- not done with. AS Haynes
was on his way home in the afternoon,
riding on VIM. II. Goodman:s wagon,
he was accOsted by Ham MoOrefield,
who came up to the rear of the wag-
on, aud while Haynes was replying
to him, he was jerked from the wag-
on by Landon MoOrefield, and falling
between the wheels came near being
run over. Moorefield at once Jump
ped on him, and 1t seems that Haynes
at once commenced stabbing him
while they were clinched, by reaching
around him, as most of the wounds,
fourteen in number, were in the back.
DIR. Templeton pronounced the
wounds not dangerous. They were
made by the blade of an ordinary
pocket knife.
Haynes surrendered himself, and all
the parties were brought before the
Mayor of Goodson. The evidence was
such that Mr.. Haynes was discharged,
after payment of a fine of $500 for
striking Moorefeld with a chair
while the parties were on Front street.

, AND FARM.
Management of Horses

As the health Of the horse is the high
est object to be gained, | will begin by a
few hints on that subject. The most
effectual way Of attaining this object is to
keep the horse in a good, comfortable,
well-ventilated stable. work him fairly,
feed him well. and groom him we'll The
stable ought TO be high-pitched to give it
proper ventilation, without the necessity
of currents of cold air. In the case of a
badly ventilated stable, the air is re-
breathed, and, as in the inhalation of air
the oxygen is exhausted to a large cX-
tent, and carbonic acid gas takes it, place,
it quickly shows its effect on the inmates
of the stable. The air that has been
breathed, being warm, ascends, and con-
Sequently loftiness is essential to carry it
of. The stable should, however. be CON
structed so as to be regulated as TO
warmth, according to the time Of year
and climate.
The stable should be paved with stone,
or very hard brick, on a slight decline to
carry Off the urine, and should, If posi-
BILE, be washed out every day. Some lit
ter should always be kept under a horse
for him to stand on, as the splashing Of
the urine often produces small sores on
the legs. Give plenty OF clean straw to
lie on at night, and never neglect TO keep
all manure out of the stall. for in dirt,
and bad smells horse can never thrive.
Groom horse well by brushes, cloths,
and plenty of hard rubbing, and never
use the currycomb for anything else but
to clean the brushes, for il used on the
horse. the little teeth are apt to scratch
and irritate the skin. Keep warm
blankets on in winter and thin cover in
summer, for fine glossy coat is pro-
duced by warm clothing and hard rub
bing. See that his feet are properly
washed and rubbed dry around the fet-
locks, for many horse has grease or
scratches from being put into stable
with wet or muddy feet, though generally
bad state of the blood produces it.
Have the shoes fit well, too large shoes
are apt to twist horses leg, and 700
small ones produce corns and contracted
heels The inside of the front part of the
hind shoe should be rounded or hammer
ed flat, in order to prevent oyer-reaching.
Feed well; by which is meant not giving
4 sUperabundance of food, which is as
bad as not giving enough, but give him a
fair amount--say II pounds OF good hay
and IL gallons of grain. This is sufficient
for most horses /; though in some instances
more is required. Feed regularly, and
above all things, give good, sound food.
Gram is best when bruised or ground up,
as il digests better, and horse is not so
apt to bolt it. Give water from Il river or
pond, but if this can not be had, draw
the well water some hours before giving
it, as cold hard water is likely to produce
gripes and cramp.
Generally with these precautions a
horse is kept in good health and order,
though it may sometimes be necessary
to give little physic; but depend upon
it, the less given the better, for many a
good horse is made i'll and ruined by the
dosing of inexperienced hands.-COr.

Young men must fill offices in the
Church some day. They are the future
stewards, and Sunday
school superintendent. Why wait until
all the old men are dead? Put in a young
man now and then. Let him have the
benefit of the counsel and example of the
fathers while yet they live. Let him
come in contact with the workers in the
Sunday-school and quarterly conference.
1t will do him good. Then put in sec
ond, then third. Thus we will keep all
our offices worthily filed, and the work
will 90 on though some die. Brethren,
pay attention to your young men. They
are the hope Of the Church. See to their
experimental lives. Teach them how
good it is to enjoy the religion they pro
fess, and teach them how to work for the
God they love. So shall they prove a
blessing to the Church and the WORLD

A Fortune by a Single Breath.
Wilmington del Letter TO the ~ attn,
Tines

Wilmington DELI Letter TO the ~ atlrti,
The Kent county Suprenl t,irt has
been engaged all this week Uth very
important case. Under the laws of Del
aware the property of n wife who dies
without issue descends not to her hus-
band, but to those of her own blood. Ten
years ago, Henry Stout, wealthy Dover
lawyer. died, leaving his property TO his
three children. Five years ago his only
daughter married the Rev. II. II. Hall. of
Lewes, and year later she died in giving
birth to her first child. The la.tcr. il i
claimed by the father, lived for few
minutes after being delivered but this
Mrs. Halls brothers denied. Ii the babe
breathed for single second after birth
then its mothers property descended to
her husband. Ii it was dead when de-
livered, however, the mother died with
out issue and her property descended to
her brothers, TO settle the question the
brothers brought suit for the property,
and the case occupied the attention of the
court the entire week. For the plaintiffs
Senator Salisbury and ex-senator Come
gys appeared, and the defendant was
represented by eX-Judge Layton, eX-
Congressman Smithers, and Edward
Ridgely, ESQ. The first witness called
was DR.. George Goodell, who attended
Mrs. Hall in her fatal sickness, and de-
livered her of a child. He was positive
the child showed no signs of respiration
or muscular motion after birth. This was
all the material evidence offered by the
plaintiffs at this stage of the proceedings.
DR.. Page. who was also present at the
Il - Il,
defense. He believed the child had
distinct existence, for with his ear upon
its chest he had heard its heart beat he
also saw the temporal arteries vibrate and
the mbiical chord throb.
DR. Penrose, Professor of Obstetrics in
the University of Pennsylvania, being
called as an expert. said, that, from the
testimony he had heard, he felt positive of
the child's Independent and distinct eX-
istence. Drs. Jump and Shoemaker gave
similar testimony. In rebuttal, the plain
ti9s called Drs. Cahall and Ezekiel and
William Cooper, who testified that the
child had none other than fetal life,
and that its existence was necessarily i'm
perfect and indistinct-of no account
whatever in establishing the defendants
claim to his dead wife's property.
This closed the evidence, and the case
was argued at great length by counsel.
Yesterday morning the arguments were
concluded, and Chief Justice Gilpin de-
livered an elaborate charge to the jury,
who were then given the case, and to-day
they returned verdict in favor of Hall,
the defendant, basing it upon the suppo-
stion that the child drew at least one
breath in this world, sufficient to possess
Mr.. III. with fortune.

there need be no alarm in using it, as it
is indentical in composition with the
sweet principle of fruits. Chemists have
not yet discovered how TO manufacture
cane sugar artificially. A cheap process
that would convert grape sugar or glucose,
which we have been considering, into
cane sugar would be of great value.
There is little doubt that considerable
quantities of artificial glucose or grape
sugar are used in the shape of syrup,
either alone or mixed with natural syrup.
