A SIeenleSS Man.

The man who does not sleep,
Saunders, now resides near this
place. Some time in 1861 or 1862
Saunders enlisted in the Fourth Vir-
ginia volunteers. For several years
he had not slept at all, so he said.
But it becoming known directly in
camp that he made such pretensions.
it aroused the curiosity of many of
the men and officers, they set watch
upon him. L am told by a colonel
that he and others lost a great ma

entrap Saunders, but during the
whole time that he remained a men,

caught mapping. He stood guard
night after night and week after
week, paid by sleepy-headed soldiers
to take their turns, but never was
caught asleep. He hauled coal sew
eral weeks in succession, only stop
ping long enough to eat and change
horses, aud plowed in tue field with
five or six stalwart men until he
wore them out completely, but never
seemed to tire. Daring the year
1868, think it was, he went to
Philadelphia and was examined by
the leading physicians Of the coun-
try. They sat up with him in re-
lays of five, night and day, and kept
an almost constant stream ofconver-

Weights of ShOrthOrn Cows.

Upon this subject u correspondent
of the Kentucky Lire Stock Record,
makes the following enquiry: +
Will you give me through the
Record the usual weights of show
cows, such as London Duchess 1st
and I'd? What was the weight of
the large cow Fanny Vanmeter, said
to have been the largest on record.
Would like to know the usual
weights of shorthorn cows at from
two to six?
To which the editor of that journ-
al repIis zse-l
We cannot give usual weights.
Cows vary greatly. Weight does
not fix excellence. 1t is the proper
ton of dead proftable weight to live

weights of the Londen Duchesses 1st

Winter Grazing Oats.

Mr.. Crutchfeld .ofHamilton coun-
ty, has for a number OF years made
this crop a speciality. and has taken
great pains to introduce them to
the notice of farmers generally.
The season for sowing them being
at hand. we quote from letter writ
ten by Mr.. G. as follows
watched with much anexiety the re-
port of your correspondent upon the
crops, and especially the winter grazing
oat. The late season in which many of
them were sown last fall, with the Sc
we're drowth that followed, preventing
their getting sufficient growth to stand
the winter and push them forward in
spring to early maturity, and the severe
winter that followed, caused me
to have fears that they would not stand
under all the disadvantages That they
have done so, although they have not
furnished a full crop is an assurance
that they are success for that climate.
If they stood the last winter with all
TIC dAodOAfdHldSC VI 4dbC SOHAu9 anu
prolonged drought, there is no need of
fearing any winter TO come, as it is not
probable that all the disadvantages of
the past season can be combined again.
/ hope all who sow them this fall
aofR solo as early qfte,. the 2Oth Of August as
they can. Don't fear the fiy-there is no
danger. With sufficient moisture to
bring them up and give them a stand in
the fall, their grazing qualities will be
fully realized-but without early sowing
it will not.
DON'T FAIL. To sow EARLY.
Failing to get any stand last fall or
during the winter, they had to make
themselves in the spring, and, as a con
sequence, were later in maturing.
The majority of farmers would have
plowed up my oats on old ground on
account of thin stand, and put it to corn;
but knowing that the oat had never
failed, and filtered so well, L let them
stand, and have been amply paid for it.
l repeat what I have heretofore said,
when the farmers of Tennessee. give. to
the winter grazing Oat fair test, and
see their value both for grazing and
grain, they will raise no other.

oaten-meal make an excellent ration.
in addition to the usual quantity of
hay or the grass obtained from pas
turage. ~
There is a difference OF opinion in
regard to the length of time that
heifers should be MIXED. In our
experience we find that the best re-
suits arc obtained when the animal
is kept in milk a goodlyC length Of
time, for if she is dried early in the
fall, the habit seems to be acquired,
and ever after she will be inclined TO
fail in milk and godry in accordance
with her first season of milking. II
seems hard, it is true, to prolong
the milking season of young fami-
~; but with extra care and plenty
of nutritious food, no injury is likely
to result, while there is much more
prospect of her making a good milk
err than when dried off early. Rorol

Treatment of Heifers Coming in
-.. Milk.

Heifers that are coming in milk
for the first time should have special
care and attention, since the future
usefulness of the animal will depend
somewhat upon the education which
she receives during the first year
she is in milk. Many animals that
would have made good mixers by
kind and judicious treatment. have
been spoiled or greatly injured for
milk by want of proper attention
and management. Heifers, previ-
Gus to coming in milk, should be
daily handled and petted, and made
so familiar with the persons who
have them in charge az not only to
show no fear, but they should exhib-
it fondness for persons and desire
to be caressed. The best way TO
begin an acquaintance with an ami
NAL is by showing it kindness by
feeding it often from the hand
tempting bits of food, and striving
by all possible means to gain its en-
tire confidence; and in this the gem
tie tones of the voice will have much
to do, since animals seem to under
stand the tones Of the voics as well
as persons. If the heifer is very
wild. it is a good plan to card or
brush the hair from time to time.
grooming the legs and handling the
udder, and if this is done gently and
persisted in from day to day. the
widest creature is subdued and be-
Games traetable. The great point
to be observed is never to give the
animals pain or excite their fear
and just so soon as they are made
understand that they are not to be
hurt, the chief obstacle in the way
of improvement is removed.
The milking habit is, in part AZ
least, matter of education. All
fear, pain or nervous excitement
checks the secretion OF milk. 1t is
important, then that ali this be
avoided in the young animal, and
that the habit of freely yielding
milk be promoted. The habit Of
kicking is for the most part, learned
in breaking the heifer to milk, and
greatScare should be taken to avoid
the learning of this vice. Patience
and good tempter in the mixer are
important requisites. and no hasty
or ill-tempered person should be al
lowed to "break heifers to the pail"
since the chance of their acquiring
some vice is greater than most
people imagine. We have in nu.
merous instances seen heifers CON-
pletely ruined in the attempt to
break them to the pail, and all from
hasty and injudicious treatment.
We have always found it best to

She then the sooner forgets It and |
takes more kindly to the mixer. In

er's mourning had caused serious
trouble and loss.
Heifers require an abundance of
nutritious food-food rich in flesh and
bone-making material-because. as
the animal has not finished her
growth, the drain from milking is
apt TO run her down weak and thin
unless she Is fulfilled. Bran and
