FARM HOUSES.

Farmers have it within their reach to be
more comfortable than any other class Of so
ciety. Among Southern farmers this is not
the case. To many of the comforts of life
they are total strangers. One reason of this
is, that very little attention is paid either to
ornament or comfort in the construction of
their houses This is true, with regard to all
the houses on many farms. The dwelling
house is kind of stove in summer, and an
iceberg in winter. Not only so, but they are
a home for multitudes of rats and mice.
These creatures, both in summer and winter,
make night hideous; besides, they are enor-
mously expensive.
Another defect about Southern farm houses,
in fact, respecting all Southern houses, is that
they are mere temporary structures. 1t is a
rare thing to find house that will last hun
dred years. Life is short and full of evils,
but there are some evils that can be very easi-
ly remedied. 1t is nearly as cheap to build a
nice and comfortable house, as it is to build an
ugly and iuconvenient one. The best piece of
property that any one can own, is comforta-
BILE house. A nice and convenient dwelling,
together with a good orchard and garden,
contribute more to our bodily enjoyment than
almost any other thing that we can possess.
CooK1Ne FooD FOR CATTLE.-Professor
Wilkinson, of Baltimore, says: IL conducted
an agricultural school and experimental farm
for eight years, and experimental with feed
ing cooked and uncooked food of every des-
cription, used for milch COWS, horses, swine,
working and fattening cattle and poultry,
and carefully noted the result, which was in
all cases very remunerative; so much so,
that even with the defective, inconvenient,
and expensive apparatus used-for the want
of better-in steaming, manipulating, and
feeding, found there was an average profit
of fully twenty-five per cent, that is, in feed
ing the variety of animals named but in the
feeding of mich COWS in cold weather, with
warmed, steamed food Of every description,
there was profit of over thirty per cent.
when the animals we're kept at proper tenn
perature, and fed with the proper proportions
of nutritious food.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE TIMES.

TIE TIMES protested against the nominal
tion Of George T. Anthony in the interests
OF the Republican party, We have also pro-
tested against his election by the electors of
the State. We have stated only facts
against him. We warned our political
friends that his nomination was a disgrace
10 the party, and his election would be a
shame 10 the State. The result in his own
city is a full vindication OF our course.
George I. Anthony mag be elected Govern
or Of this State, bat if so, it simply shows

he has lived for ten years, he is repudiated
