ONE of the Rochester papers in
forms us that the fishermen along the
Hudson having refused to remove
their nets for twenty-four hours, once
a week, in order to allow the shad a
chance to move up the river where
they are in the habit of spawning
Seth Green has Matched 10000 young
sturgeon, which he has placed in the
river, and which number he intends
to increase to three million. In three
years time they will have attained
large size and will then go through
shad nets like an arrow through the
air, and thus enable the other fish to
move at viii up and down stream.
Mr.. Green is not gentleman to be
trifled with.

NEW YORK, August 5.--A special
from Cheyenne states that the In
dian frauds Investigating committee
find much difficulty in getting any
one there to testify i'll relation to the
Indian service, us those having the
facts are interested in not diyulging
them. Bostwick, who was Govern

to testify, but his testimony proved
unreliable, and it was discovered he
was III the employ Of contractor Nc
Cam.
The new commissioners hadnot ar
rived, and no official information re-
ceiyed of their appointment. The
commissioners were to start on the
I'd inst, for Fort Laramie. Twenty

Aldsrney coWs.

Alderaey Is well known for the breed
Of cows whish bears It's name. These are
50 called probably because the first ones
exported were from that island, although
now very few that are sold as Alderney
COWS are directly from there. Those Of
that breed actually exported from these
Islands are generally from Jersey, where
the cattle are much the same as those Of
Alderney, small, with tapering heads, aud
Of delicate lAwn-eolor. The Guernsey
COW Is esteemed by some even more highly
than the Aldernsy; il is rather larger, and
more Of red, brindled, in color. The
cows are MIXED three times daily, and the
milk IS ehurned without skimming; one
pound Of butter a day is by no means an
uncommon yield for good COW. The
COW cabbage IS made 10 reach n size 50
large that the leaves are used to wrap the
butter in for market, while the stalks are
vanished and armed with ferrules extern
sively used at St. Helier's for canes The
COWS are very carefully coddled. The
grass they feed on is highly enriched BY
the vrais, species Of sea-weed gathered
from the reefs at low tide. There are
two vraic harvests appointed by the gov.
ernment, one in the spring, the other in
August, although it is gathered at other
times in small quantities. All hands turn
out in the season with boats aud carts,
frequently at night, and it is a very lively,
picturesque occupation, though often at
tended with risk and loss Of life from the
overlooking Of boats or sudden rising Of
the tide, The cows are always tethered
when feeding; they eat less in this way,
really giving more milk than if glutted
with food, and while they are cropping the
grass on one side of a field, it has time to
spring up on the other side. When they
have done eating, they are at once re.
moved from the sun into the shade. The
breed Is preserved from intermixture with
other breeds by strong and arbitrary laws
very carefully enforced No cattle are
allowed to enter the islands except for
slaughter within certain number Of days,
with thu exception of oxen for draught.--

Small Farms-Gardens.

Other things being equal, small farms
are better for the general welfare of a
community. They make neighbors closer
and more numerous to support schools,
churches, and good roads; while small farms
are almost always better, and more profit.

FLowERs AND PLANrs.-The small
farm of John Slater & Son, near Alexan-
dria, consisting Of about a dozen acres,
yield more profits, annually, than many
large farms. He raises vegetables and
choice flowers, making speciality Of the
most rare roses, in large variety. This
little place is made profitable by the get
ting Of two or three crops year off the
same hnd-various plants and flowers
the land being deeply and thoroughly cnl-
tiyated and judieiously fertilired, is capa-
bic Of two to three crops
Not far from this one is another, in
Alexandria county, very handsome small
farm, Of about 30 acres, owned and work
ed BY NJ c. Munson. While he has some
heavy land, he has more that contains
much gravel and cobble stones; these he
utilizes to good advantage, that pays for
picking up BY making waderdraiias, of the
stones and gravel; digging them two to
three feet deep, and enc foot wide at the
bottom, then filing up to within about one
foot Of the top with cobble stones and
gravel; then putting back the soil on this;

other farmers, hereaboats, neglect too
