November 9th our cow went into winter
quarters. and for her winter feed there was
over $500 pounds Of we'll cured corn-fod-

vine hay-far more than she could possibly
consume.
Early in December after spreading over
the land all the manure on hand, it was
plowed again, with a two-horse turning
pillow, and sowed thickly to oats, narrowing
them in.

There is no difficulty in producing three

cattle need a variety of food in soiling. as

am aware of any being cultivated in the
South as a soiling crop. Cabbages set out

December, to be succeeded by oats in March,

THE PRONUNCIAMENTO.

IL the New York lIERALD's reported
interview with Gen MALONE, rs given
in another Olumn, needed any conili-
nation it had lnthe open and frank dec
laration Of the VINO of last Saturday
morning. Stripped Of the smoke and SEN
,iment, which all startling announce
ments and new departures generate,
Il IL proposition TO take Virginia out Of
the usnal political alignment in Nation
al contests and make her a coveted and
independent factor in the Presidential
problem. As heretofore Virginia has
staked all in defence of one wing of
northern sentiment, for the Presidency
has been, and must for some time be
conceded as absolutely belonging to the
northern people. Heretofore we have
hidden for northern aid. Under Gen
MAHoNE's new scheme, We would sim
ply hold ourselves aloof and permit both
wings Of northern power to bid for our
aid. The will Of public sentiment in the
State has been of late IN that deranged
condition IN which the loss Of governor

this course had been taken decade ago
Il would have been better for the State,
and an examination Of the illes Of the
NEws will show such TO have leen our
belief. II remains ~ be seen whether
iis application to the present period will
have the same beneficial effect. That II
will arouse the sleeping wbirlwind no
