Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts, is re-
ported as saying of the late Richard
Henry Dana: Il think if he had been
born thirty or forty miles inland, and
instead Of being-I say with ali respect
an adherent of the Church of England,
had been the son of a Congregationalist
deacon, he would have been the fore
most man in Massachusetts,. ;"

Fast and Slow Walking.

The National LiUe-Gock Journal
makes some suggestions with re-
spect to the walking gait Of the
horse which are we'll worth think
ing over. A careful calculation of
the time spent on a walk by the
farm horse, it says, as compared
with the time used at other gait$,
would show that the walk is nearly
the constant gait All the work Of
the farm is done on a walk. 1t is
only when returning with the emp
ty wagon, or when, occasionally,
team is hitched to the family
carry-all, that another gait is en-
ployed A horse that under the
saddle will walk nearly or quite
five miles an hour, will at his
work make, say three and a half
miles, while a slow walker would
not come within a mile of this
speed, taking the day through:
This would cause a loss Of nearly
two days in week-or at low
estimate, a week out of every
month-which in money value
would probably amount to not less
than twelve dollars, counting the
wages and board of the man and the
time and feed of the horse, to say
nothing of the additional loss on &C
count Of the delays in the work
always, as every thoughtful farmer
knows, an important item, espec-
tally in some seasons. These are
points Of interest to every farmer.
Let "horse men" give time and
thought to developing a race of fast
trotters, if they will. Farmers
should aim to breed a race of fast
walkers, as by far the more useful
animal.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-02-22
Packing Poultry.

All poultry should be thoroughly
cooled before packing. Then pro-
vide boxes, for they are preferable
to barrels; place a layer Of ryestraw
that has been thoroughly cleaned
from dust on the bottom. Com
mence packing by bending the head
Of the fowl under in it. Then lay
in the left-hand corner, with the
head against the end of the box,
with the back up. Continue to
fill that row in the same manner
until completed; then begin the
second row the same way, letting
the head of the third pass up be-
tween the rump Of the two adjoin-
ing ones, which will make it COM
plete and solid. In packing the
last row, reverse the order, placing
the head against the end of the
bax, letting the feet pass under each
other; should there be a space left
between these two rows wide
enough to lay in few sideways,
do so, passing the feet under the
same way; but should it not be
wide enough, then fill tight with
straw, so the poultay cannot move.
This gives Il uniformity of appear
ance, and Il lirmness in packing that
will prevent moving during trans
portation. Over this layer, place
straw enough to prevent one layer
from coming in contact with the
other; then add other layers, pack
ed in the same manner, until the
box is flled,-Poultry Monthly.

CObS for Cows.

From the Border Waterman.
| would relate for the benefit of
those who may be scarce of proven
der that corn-cobs furnishes a most
excellent substitute. Take one
bushel Of cobs, or any quantity
needed, broken or fed whole, as you
may prefer, well steamed in boiling
water SO as to render soft, and after
draining add one handful of salt,
one quart of corn meal or siftings,
we'll stirred, and you will have a
food afording good nutriment, and
which will, in the absence Of any
other provender, when plentifully
furnished, keep them up. [ have
fed four COWS sixty bushels Of cobs
in the last sixty days with three
fourths less fodder than [ usually
give them, and they are thriving
on it besides milking better. My
plan is to feed them out of my hand.

Farmer Items.

1t is the opinion Of many that a
fowl fattened quickly will make a
far more juicy and toothsome meal
than a young chicken.
A Missouri farmer claims that
every quail on a mans farm is
worth, 81 at the least calculation, for
the good they do in destroying
chinch bugs and other pests.
Two COWS, well sheltered in win
ter, will produce more milk and
butter than will three unsheltered,
though no more than half the food
required for the three should be
given to the two.

proposes to drain the LakeOkeecho-
bee region and reclaim the swamp
land. The area of reclamation is
as large as New Jersey, Connecticut,
Delaware and Rhode Island, and
the Disston company will get half
of it, the State retaining the bal
ance of it. Two enormous dredging
boats are already at work at this,
and the work will be pushed to
completion.
PEANUTs.-Peanut growing is
one of the most profitable industries
of Virginia. The return never falls
below fifty dollars an acre, even in
seasons of drouth like the past one,
and sometimes rises as high as $500
per acre. A light sandy soil is
best. The nut must have plenty
of rain in August in order to reach
perfection. There are three grades
in market-the strictly prime, the
prime and the medium-the latter
of which is sold to the retail buyer
The best are sent abroad or used by
makers of the finest grades of can
dy. The peanut candy sold at 40
cents pound is made from the low
grade, the wholesale of which is two
cents a quart.
PROFITS ON SHEEP.-The Hon.
Selmon Wells gave us an illustra-
ton the other day of the profits of
sheep growing that will interest
a portion of our readers. Three
years since he purchased 1O1 ewes
and two bucks, at a cost Of $3.50
He has sold nearly q thousand dol
lars worth of wool, has $50 head of
sheep, and the farm where the
sheep were kept has been very
much enriched and increased in
value. He also experimental as
to the comparative cost Of keeping
sheep and cattle, and found that it
cost less to winter 81 head Of sheep
than five head Of yearling cattle
Mr.. Wells, consequently, concluded
to devote his attention principally
to sheep.-WetzeI Messenger,
