Winter Calves.

A Wisconsin Dairyman asks, if there
can be any profit in raising calves in
winter or late fall calves? This question
is now very pertinent, since winter dairy
ing is becoming common. Butter bears a
higher price in winter; and this induces
dairymen to have their calves dropped in
fall. Some think the cold weather will
add to the cost of keeping the calves: but
this is probably mistake, as the follow
ing considerations will show: The milk
after making butter in winter, is in better
condition than in summer, as it is seldom
sour, and may always be fed Calves
kept in warm quarters will make more
growth upon the same quantity of milk
in winter than in summer, on account of
its better quality, and because, being fed
on hay, they seldom scour or have any
trouble Of stonach.-Natioaal LdUe Stock

OCTOBER, 1880.

OCIOBER, lOOU.
S~,-We take the liberty of making
a few suggestions to you, and would
like your opinion of them We think
the only way of exporting stock can be
made profitable to Virginia farmers, viz:
That the stockholders of the State
work together on cooperation principles,
with a president and a small committee
and a secretary to manage in "Virginia, "
also some one to manage in England
whose duty shall be to take charge of
stock as soon as landed he should look
after unloading the stock and feed also
selling the same, and renting the money
at once. The company should ship a
regular supply say every two weeks, or
as often as practicable, land not as was
the case last November sending about
1900 cattle from Virginia, at the same
tlme) by sending q regular supply the
company would soon get its own GUS
toners who would give the best price.
One of the many advantages that would
be derived by such company, would be
having man in England to look after
their interests in saving the spare feed.
1t is almost all wasted now. The way some
of the statesmen dispose of it is disgrace
full If the secretary would let the man in
England know the class of cattle and the
weights Of each shipment as soon as they
are put on the steamer, he would be able
to have buyers ready posted upon what
they might expect; it would be a great
help to him in selling. Many other adj
vantages the company would have over
private shippers, such as getting better
steamers, lower freights, cheaper feed.
better men, ETC., etc.
1t would be desirable for the company
to insure with themselves, by putting
away say 3 per cent out Of every ship
ment; and should there be any surplus
at the end of the year, it should be di-
vided among the shippers in proportion
to the value Of stock they shipped this
would be the means Of saving the profits
of the insurance companies.
There are great many advantages
that we think must be apparent to anv
one who will look into this, and we are
quite sure it would be the means of saw
ing large amount Of money to Virginia
cattle feeders.
We would be very glad if you would
make any suggestions to aid in forming
such company. Yours truly,
GREEN & FARRER.

Maj. Venable and others were on hand
with excellent animals. The "Small
Yorkshires" "a white hog so conspicuous
for their short faces and their compact
fat bodies, exhibited by Mr.. Maxon Of
Ohio, attracted considerable attention.
Some Jersey Red" pigs (only four in
the litter), Mr.. Lovelock the exhibitor,
were as line pigs as we ever saw for
seven weeks. This is popular hog
with those who have tried them, said to
be very hardy and easy to take on fat.
We have not space to speak of the
machinery, and many other articles of
interest.
How to make these State Fairs, and
the society itself more efficient. is a
matter of interest to every friend of the
institution, and of the improvement of the
agriculture of the State. The great want
! to meet the difficulty is more income to
the society. 1t occurs to us that as soon
as the land now owned by the society
becomes more valuable, as it will do in a
few years, with the extension of the city
now being made westward, that it would
be proper policy to dispose of half or
more of the present grounds, and invest
the proceeds, so as to secure an adj
ditional fund to pay premiums with; for
without sufficient premiums, at least to
cover the expenses of the exhibitor, we
cannot hope to have frst-class exhibi-
ton. This is the great difficulty now in
getting persons to come toward with
their articles for exhibition. To do this,
races would have to be dispensed with,
and while many persons like the excite
ment of races, it is very doubtful whether
any go to the fair especially for that
purpose, except the regular turfmen,
the owners of the horses, and their i'm
mediate friends. Besides there are some
persons who object to these races, and
some are thus kept away. This kind of
racing is much less attractive than the
regular races where the regulations,
names, etc., of the horses are known,
which always adds to regular races the
excitement of betting. Races at fairs
are pretty much given up at the North
ern fairs, and generally at the Western.
At the Pennsylvania State Fair" there
is no racing, and the exhibition (the re-
suit of $44, 900 of premiums is condensed
into the "main centennial building, :"
stock, and all. One-third of our present
fair grounds would probably be sufficient
to retain
Besides this, the society ought to have
funds enough to send through the State
an efficient agent to visit every farmer
at his home who could probably be per-
suaded to attend the fair and patronize
the society in any way he mil ht be in
duced to do So We throw out these
suggestions, not will much expectation
of influencing the Executive Commit

BILE. The language of the answer
is definite and vigorous, and would
seem to indicate that any aggression
would be met by armed forces.
So serious has the situation be-
come that Queen Victoria has
written private note to the sultan,
urging him to submit and thus guard
against useless loss of blood. At
the same. time that we read of her
appeal the intelligence reaches us
that one hundred and twenty-five
Turkish battalions have been in
creased by the addition of 800 men
to each of them, thus increasing
the Turkish army 100000. This
does not wear a very pacific look.
What hope the porte sees in a
conflict between the allied forces Of
England, France, Germany, Aus
tria and Italy is not easy to see. If
it could not successfully oppose the
Russians, it certainly can make no
availing resistance against the five
largest armies in the world. It is
thought in some diplomatic quar~
tiers that the two old antagonists,
Turkey and Russia, have formed
some secret compact and only on
this ground is the sultan's foole
hardness at all explanatory. AT
any rate, the matter will soon be
settled by the procession up the
Me diteranean of the allied fleets
and the reception they will meet
with in Turkish waters.

We disclaim any sympathy with
or responsibility for the article
which appeared in yesterday morn
ing's CHRONICLE over the signature
of G. G. Russell. Having permit
ted the publication Of an anonymous
communication, in which charge
was made against Mr.. Russell, it
was proper that he should be heard
in his own defense. But in that
defense he has seen fit to make GER
tain charges against Judge Houk,
which we are assured are false.
Unless proof Of their correctness is
furnished they will be so taken.
Judge Houk is the republican
nominee for congress. OF his cleo
ton, there isn't a shadow of a
doubt. The majority of the voters
of this district are for him, and his
enemies will find that unfounded
charges will not defeat him, and the
CHRONICLE will not be the medium
through which charges against him
shall be given currency.

Perusal of the cablegrams which

dicates that the troublesome eastern
question cannot be very readily get>
tied now without resort to arms.
Ever since the Berlin treaty the
powers of western Europe have
been urging the sultan with mere or
less vigor,to Immediately enter upon
the reformation of abuses and carry
ing out of other stipulations of that
document. Finally, wearied of i'm
portuning, they have decided to
send strong naval force to make a

COMPENSATION LAND BILL.

Comparatively little interest has
been taken in America in the com
pensation bill now pending before
the house of commons, and yet if
the bill passes it will be the hardest
blow the aristocracy of England
has ever received and will be the
entering wedge that will finally
cleave it in twain. It is a measure
framed by Mr.. Gladstone to miti-
gate the absentee landlordism of
Ireland, although it will damage
the same class in England and Scot
land. All are acquainted with the
agrarian troubles which have been
besetting the united kingdom for
many years. The land is owned by
a comparatively few men. The
landlord fixes the rate and it makes
no difference whether the crops are
failure or not, the tenant is
compelled to pay them or suf-
for evictment. It is this policy
which has more than anything else
caused such terrible suffering in Ire~
land in the last few months. When
the tenant is put cut for nonopay-
ment of rent all his possessions
must be left behind, and he leaves
in penniless condition.
The policy of Mr.. Parnell and his
following has been to compel the
landowners to sell the farms to the
farmers at long time and with low
rate of interest. This was SO pc
culiarly repugnant to conservative
British tendencies and traditions
that no government, however strong,
would dare to propose, but instead a
compromise has been effected and it
is on this compromise that parlia>
ment has been voting. 1t has al
ready passed the commons and now
fingers in the upper chamber. 1t
provides that where a tenant is
evicted for nonepayment of rental
that he shall be allowed a compen~
sation for the labor he has done on
the farm. 81
The bill is denounced by the land
owners, as a matter of course, and
the whole wing party, but it is like
" to pass by strong use of the
government whip, for if it does not,
it will be taken as a strong lack of
confidence in the ministry, and Mr..
Gladstone will fall from power as
rapidly as he rose. If it does pass,
it will furnish precedent for other
measures Of a still more radical
character and will no doubt be the
beginning of revolution which,
though peaceful, will be wonderful
as any in history.
