SOiling.

There is scarcely any practice connected
with the work on a farm on which there
are not different and diverse opinions. OF
these many arise from the difference of
situations of those advocating them; SO
each may be correct for his own practice.
We gave last winter pretty full report
of Bro. Cheeve's remarks at the dairy
mems meeting in favor of this system. In
many or perhaps we might say in most
parts of our state the amount of land
which cannot we'll be titled makes this
practice Improbable here and still some
may feel that they are in some way suffer-
ing loss because they cannot well follow
such course of feeding.
We give below an article on the subiec,
from l.. S. Hardin of Kentucky, in the
Ohio Farmer. Mr.. Hardin ALWAYS writes
forcibly and one must admire his frankness
whether they admit his premises or accept
his conclusions or not:

RATION FOR THE YOUNG CALF.
Many dairy men are deferred from feed
ing calves because they think hole milk
necessary to raise II good calf. Such per-
sons have not studied the nature of food
1t is true that milk, as it comes from the
COW, is exactly adapted to the growth of
the young calf, and that when any esSenti
III element of the milk has been separated
from t.it has so far lost its pert chara :
tT of food In butlrl-m king the cream
taken from milk and the residue consists OF
casein, whey or milk-sugar and the miner
al elements But these l., naming elements
are the most valuable in milk. If. now.
we can supply the oil which has been
skinned off, with something of less value
than the cream. but having the same feed
value to the calf, we are practicing true
cronomy. The cream from the milk to
supply II vigorous calf is worth 81 cents
per day, ut least and sometimes 80 ents.
Now this can be supplied for four &C IS in
the oil from boiled flax seed, and the flax
seed also contains a large proportion OF
albuminoids and the mineral constituents
necessary to grow The muscles and bones
of the calf. | have tested this so many
times, and with such uniform success, that
can recommend boiled flax seed as full
complement for the cream taken off.
A calf then may be fed skinned milk
when one week old, with the addition of
one gill of boiled fax-seed, increasing this
ration gradually to a pint per day when
four week old, and then adding fine
mddlings or corn and oats ground togeth-
er, or n pint to one quart of oats unground.
Flax-seed cruel with plenty of skinned
milk will produce very fine growth, leav-
ing the calf as mellow TO the touch as if
sucking the cow l have produced a
growth ofover three pounds per day, upon
calves two months old upon this ration
The oil taken of in the cream can be re.
placed for one-fifth of the money value OF
the cream. Butter dairymen may raise a
calf, to each COW, upon the skim milk and
a little additional food. such us indicated
and get one-fourth to one third as much
profit out of the refuse milk as out of the
butter. Selling butter robs the land OF
nothing valuable only carbon which has
no manurial value.

COTTON, CAL, Sept. 25th, 1S7S.-
DEAR BERRY.-This is my irrigating

OF my ground l will fill my time by

night is as beautiful and as balmy
as any one could wish. The last
murmurings of the sea breeze are

close upon this peaceful portion of

need of my writing in conmenda-
ton OF this particular evening, for
i can scarcely remember when it
was otherwise. AS general rule

of this county, you could not for
any ordinary consideration induce
them to exchange a home in Cali

Rocky Mountains. But l will not
spend any time in boasting of this
country, though it IL a source of
daily congratulation with us that
we are so far removed from the pes

yer has been so destructive to hu-
man life within the past few weeks.

, The Pulaski olios.


From the Fayetteville Express. l,s
This splendid amateur troupe,
from Pulaski, gave two entertain
ments to large audiences at Bright
Hall, Friday and Saturday nights,
upon which occasions they were
greeted with large and highly
pleased audiences. The Olios were
accompanied by Pitman's celebra-
ted silver band and Williams or
chestra, assisted by Prof. S. f.
Werren. This band made the best
brass music that our people have
listened. to since the celebrated
Helicon band of Columbia was here,
and, indeed, many thought Pitman's
band excelled the Helicons. The
street parade of the troupe was im-
posing.
To do the company full justice
we would have to make particular
mention of the performances of
each gentleman connected with it.
Every member of the troupe acted
his part well, and collectively their
performance was perfect. DR.. Gil
more and Mr.. Dlckerson as end
men are far ahead of some PROBES
SIGNALS we have seen. Their gags
and hits, character delineations,
farcicaf renditions, and illusions
were fresh and invariably brought
down the house in storm of en-
thusiastic applause. Mace Eel
and Black Richardson, the two lit
tie sharp headed, pert negroes, were
constantly throwing in something
to keep the house in a roar.
The vocal music of the company
was as fine as Fayetteville audi
ence has ever listened to, the splen-
did accomplishments of Prof. Wer-
rem on the organ adding greatly to
it's beauty and effect. The vocalists
were all good, (P.) Ezell, Gilmore,
Carter, Andrews, Jack
son, Smith and McCord rendering
their respective songs and choruses
in happy style. Mr.. Carter the bass
singer, we think had the deepest
and most powerful voice we ever
heard for one of his age. His voice
is not only powerful but Is musical
and under excellent control. The
were chaste and
highly appreciated by our people
Every member of the troupe con-
Quoted himself while here SO as to
win the respect of our people
They are all gentlemen and deport-
ed themselves, as such during their
stay. Il . s9r.
