EFFECTS OF POTATOES ON milk.

We do not think the partial experiments
upon this matter are properly interpreted,
even by those who have made them. 1t
has been found that a large feed Of potatoes
lessons the percentage of hay digested; but
we think the large amount, of starch con-
tanned in the potato causes a looseness ofthe
bowels, and thus impairs the digestive func-
ton. We have often fed potatoes. to COWS
in milk with great benefit Our plan has
been to run potatoes through a root-slicer,
and feed four quarts at a time, mixed with
cnt hay and a pint of oil-meal or pea-meal,
or a quart of oats. And since the expert
ments mentioned, we have again tried this
mode of feeding and found it to work admit
rably we'll. The potato is a very imperfect
food alone, being principally starch, having
too little nitrogen and phosphate of lime to
make milk; but it is the richest root raised
on the farm. and when fedin small quanti-
ty, raw, will regulate the bowels and have a
very similar effect to green grass. 1t is a
very laxative food in the raw state, and that
is, probably, the cause of it's peculiar effect
upon lno ulgeSIlOn OF nay.
When the potato is cooked the effect is
quite different and its value is greatly in
creased. A small quantity of potatoes, say
four quarts as a feed. will increase the yield
Of milk nearly as much as so much grain,
provided they are fed with other food rich
in the constituents OF milk. The. American
dairyman is prone to feed one thing at a
time, almost wholly, instead of giving yari-
ETY. in food which will furnish all the ele-
ments required in the proper proportion.
We found an objection to the use. of oil
meal when fed above two pounds per day to
the COW, as it is too laxative. We found one
quart per day the most profitable, and have
also found one peek OF potatoes per day, in
two feeds, the most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

KIND TREATMENT A

Mr.. Willard, in his new Butter Book.
speaks in the strongest terms in favor of
klld treatment OF cows Kept tor the dairy.
lie says:
1t is really astonishing what a large differ
ence III the yield OF milk it makes by attend
ing properly to a number of small things in
tie management of stock-and things which
10 many would seem quite too insignificant
TO be worth observing. The dairyman
siould have a genuine, a hearty love tor the
animals under his control, providing whole
some nutritious food, pure water and pure
alr-teyerything of this kind in abundance :
keeping the animals properly sheltered from
storms feeding always with great %regulari-
y paying the most marked attention to the
manner and time of milking, withal. pre-
serving a uniform kindness and eentleness
OF Treatment throughout every operation-a
geinleness extended even to tletones of he
voice. Generally speaking, the cow will do
lef oesf that is loved the best and petted the
most ny those who have her in charge. #
you wash a cow to do her best, YOU must
eulllVate her acquaintance intimately. and

of which we readily %assented, for the best

more of the same sort to be found among

HoRsE's REARING.-Wheneyer you per-
| ceiye a horses inclination to rear, separate
your reins and prepare for him. The i'll
slant he is about to rise, slacken one rein
and bend or twist his head with the other,
keeping the hands low. This bending COM
pels him to move a hind leg, and of necessi-
ty brings his f~ore-feet down. Instantly
twist him completely round, three or four
times, which will confuse him very much
and completely throw him off his guard.
The moment you have finished twisting
around. place his head in the direction you
wish to proceed, apply the spurs and whip
two or three times, severely. The horse
will not, perhaps, be quite satisfied with the
first defeat, but may feel disposed try again
for the mastery. Should this be the case,
the process Of twisting, etc., should be re-
peated.

hooks The Democrats of the North, or at
least a noisy faction of them, are resolute not
to have peace.
But in the Southern States, where the real
strength of the party lies veTy different spirit
seems to prevail. The communities which have
borne the abuses of Grantism are anxious for
nothing but reconciliation and quiet. They
have got their rights, and now they are gong

some foolish proceedings in the South Carolina
Legislature, of which the actors in them VIII
probably learn to be ashamed but the temper
of the South in general is above criticism.
There is no more anger against the defeated /;
there is no apparent purpose to take an unfair
advantage of the victory. The South looks to
the future in practical and sensible spirit
and makes no answer to its roaring allies
across the border who are trying to rouse 1t to
a new struggle
Our New-Orleans correspondent, III the letter
which we printed yesterday, remarked upon
the singular lack of sympathy between the
leading Conservatives of Louisiana and the
Democratic party at the North. " The Demo-
cratic party" said one of these prominent
men, "can do nothing for us )" and then he
went on to repeat catalogue OF Dement'S
which the State might expect from kcpup-
lican President and Congress, including r'ii-
roads, levees, and protective tariff. ms
gentlcman's remarks give us the key 10 the
present condition of politics i'll the South. Inc
reconstructed States have been pillagcd ana
barried and oppressed so long, partly by the
Northern adyenturer, partly by the negro,
partly by tie White League, that they care
little for national or partisan Issues; Ihcir
bopes all center in local and material inter
e.ts; their ambition is confined To the re-
pair of their desperate fortunes. We saw
proof of this spirit last Novem-
Der, when in South Carolina and some
other places the people were quite ready to
give ND a President for the sake OF Gov
ernor; we saw proof of it again III the be-
hayior of the Southern Congressman during
the electoral dispute; ard since the installation
of Nichols and Hampton the proofs have been
redoubled. 1t is idle therefore for the North

They cannot fire the Southern heart. They
are only widening separation which Is pam
