Care OF Cows.

a correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman, writing on the care of
cows, says II is very important that
cows are well provided for in every
way to afford them the greatest
comfort the most essential point to
be considered 10y the dairyman. The
COWS must bn made quiet and com
Portable; pure water, from springs or
pumps, is of great Importance, and
shade sufficient for "a retreat from
the burning sun in the heat Of the
day. The necessity Of pure water is
too often overlooked. The COW,
pauting with heat, is forced to the
stagnant puddle or pool, covered,
perhaps, with green scum. And
when TO be MIXED. als is often hur.
ried from the pasture By dogs or
inconsidera.e boys, and the little
milk in her bag is in poor cpndi
ton to iurnish her inhuman owner
with milk from which good butter
can be made. The material for
choice butter must first he manutac.
tured from the COW. Her general
health must be secured by an abun.
dant supply of blood and flesh pro.
duciug elements in all she eats and
drinks. II the blood is pure, the
whole system is in n healthy state.
From her blood the milk is produced.

matter what the cause may be, and

scores. There are many ways that

no skill of the dairyman can make

dent that those who speak and write
npon the rules of making butter,
myself included, have too often
omitted to begin mt the starting

said, and good advice given by com
mencing at some of the many points
that occur after milking. But the
way of procuring the milk has been
too much neglected. When the

Neither cattle nor horses should

animals require light I'm the day

stable would be liable to become
blind. In regard to light in swine
pens, q writer says that two sows
having litters on the 18th and ODD
of January, respectively, were kept
in two rather dark, but warm TEN
porary sites, and had to occupy them
till about the middle of the month
of April, when, for each SOW with
litter, one Of the permanent sites
was opened by selling the occupants.
At that time the pigs which had
been kept in the dark, but warm
temporary sites, proved to be less
lively than, aud much Inferior in
weight and size, to those of any of
the ltters raised in the less warm
but well-lighted permanent sites,
Notwithstanding that the difference
in age was very small, that food and
care had been the same in every
respect. One of the litters born on
the 18th of January, which had acct.
dentally the best lighted sty, though
situated in the northwest and conse-
quently coolest corner of the frame

RIDICULE.-Remember thatthe talent Of
turning people to ridiculc, and exposing to
laughter those one converses with, is the
qualification of small minds and ungenerous
tempers. A young person with this cast Of
mind cuts himself off from all manner OF
improvement. So said Addison, long ago,
and it is as true to-day as ever
Col. Richard Rankin, of Castor County,
N. c., felled water oak on his place, on
Stanley Creek, from which he made $500
shingles, $50 rails, so loads of wood, and
there still remains about twenty feet of the
huge trunk lying where it . The stump

and the rings" marked about 100 years

Don't sit down to wait for business, bust
ness will sit down to wait for you.
Don't wait for brisk times to advertise,
for then you will not need the help of ad-

Don't think your last years advertising
sufficient, for your customers may conclude
you expired with the old year.
Don't become disguised with business or
business may become disgustcd with you.
Don't think because you know where you
do business, and what you keep to sell, that
all the world knows it as we'll
Don't go out to see what your advertising
ncighbor is doing for if you do you may
conclude to spend a little money in adver-

Don't advertise, for if you do you might

would be an additional expense and an in

True, VIC have hosts of friends at the North,
but we. have more enemies, and as many Of
either can be found among the Democrats
as among the Republicans. None of them
believe that we have accepted in good faith
the Amendments to the Constitution, and
they have a mistrust as to our loyalty to the
Uhion, Which can never be obliterated but
by time.
I have ever found more congeniality
amongst Northern Republicans than with
Northern Democrats, and believe an aver
age representative of the Republican party
North is more nearly akin in feelings, sen
timent and thought to Southern Democrat
than similar representative Northern DEM
ocrat Carpet-baggers, scallawags and ne

barnacles that have betouled the Republican

not forgiven.

that placed him in the Presidential chair
would install Packard Governor And yet
we know that the very political existence
of that State depends upon the installation
of General Nichols as Governor. Sooner
or later Mr. Hayes must see this, and must
inevitably recognize the Nichols govern
ment. When this is done, the South will
be political unit. If, then, the Southern
States so legislate as to convince the colored
population that the laws recognize no dis.
tinction on account Of color or race, there
will in my judgment, be u political revo-
luton throughout the North in less than
four years as potent for good to the South
as was that between 1861 and 1866 for evil
to our distressed country.
Not that there will be war again-far
from it ; for the recent presidential election
proved that Northern Democrats will not
fight Northern Republicans, however will
ing either party might be to fight Southern
ers. But in that event parties at the North
will be so divided, and so clamorous for
Southern patronage, that the South need
only stand firm and united and she will
hold balance Of power that will be cffec-
tive in restoring this Government to it's

Prior to the war the leaders at the North
both civil and military, were Democratic,
and every Confederate soldier knows that
the Southern armies met no reverscs until
the ranks of the Federal army were recruit

mFUrraut Circular letter has been addressed
to the United States District Attorneys by
the Attorney General to be sent on Mon.
day:
Sir: AS enter upon my official duties
1 find that the appropriation for the expen.
ses of the United States Courts for this
fiscal year is rapidly approaching exhaustion
and that Congress denied all the applica-
tions that were made by my predecessor for
an increased sum to bear these expenses,
the duty is thus forced upon the officers of
this Department to retrench all possible ex-
penses.
To great extent the attorneys of the
United States are responsible for the expen-
ses incurred, and naturally the call is made
upon them to stop all expenses that ca.
with propriety be stopped. 1 urge upon
you the exercise of extreme caution and
economy. There is nearly full quarter of
the fiscal year still to run, during which
time expenses- must be kept to minimum
point. hope to have your hearty co-ope-
ration in the work. Your discretion and
economy will be shown in the subpening of
those witnesses only who are important and
necessary to case; in holding them only so
long as they are needed; in setting for trial
none but important cases; those which the
course of justice and the interests of Gov
ernment absolutely require to be tried; in
dismissing, by advice of the court, the Pc
tit juries at an early day, and in urging
upon the grand juries but short session !;
select very few cases for trial, those only best
supported by evidence, and in which all
legal questions are likely to arise the other
cases should be allowed to lie over, the par
tics not being discharged.
As far as lies in your power the trials be-
fore the United States Commissioners must
be watched and their expenses curtaaed.-
