The following rule for estimating the
amount of hay in stack will be found
approximately correct: In stack,
timothy, after ten days or two weeks
settling, 600 cubic feet to the ton i;
clover, 700, and prairie hay $50 feet.
After thorough settling, about 500
cubic feet of timothy, $50 of clover
and 45O of prairie hay. To get the
cubic dimensions of a stack, multiply
the average length, breadth and height
together.

How to Select a Cow.

To the Standard
The first point is the disposition of
the COW. ] propose in this article to
select an animal as to her disposition,
quality, quantity and length of time
she will milk, alone from external
marks. | have been in the dairy busi-
ness on a small scale for two years. /
am now milking eleven cows, (natives,
not thoroughbreds, } and bought them
from external marks, which will milk,
when fresh, from 4 to 6 gallons per day
First stand in front of the COW, while
she is quiet, and if she is of good dis
position you can see it in the expression
of the eye and face, if she is of bad dis
position, she has fierce and vicious eyes
and countenance. Second, you want
trim, neat, muscle, with clear bright
horns with appearance of oily. Thin
through the shoulders, increasing back
to hip, and wedged shape. Next you
want slim, trim neck. Next stand in
rear of the COW. You want her with
small tail, tapering like coach whip
the smaller the better. A good mixer
you will find on rear of each thigh
tufts or curls in shape of a shovel. The
udder, in first class mixers you will
find on the rear of each fold of the I'D
der small ovals or extra teats. You
want wide space between the thighs,
giving ample space for the udder. You
want wide space extending from the
lower part of the udder up and on each
side of the vulva, with a smOothe,
downy appearance and solid color. The
folds of the udder should extend well
up behind, the wider the better. Tnt
udder should be covered with fine short
hair, or down, and oily to the touch
You rarely find good mixers with long
coarse hair on their udder. You wan
medium size teats standing well apar
at the four corners Of a square. TheI
there should be two prominent mill
veins extending from the udder on eacl
side of the belly, entering the samC
near the naval with zigzag shape. A
COW that milks but six months has TIVE
tufts, or spots, varying from one t.
three inches long. These will be founC
on each side of the vulvo, sometime
below the vulvo on the rear of tn
thighs, different color from the hal
that surrounds them, A COW with on
of these tufts will milk seven months
When destitute of these, she will mill
from one calf to the next. Usual,
these short mixers are found amoni

thoroughbred and scrub. a ricI

A farmer observed a flock of quails
running along between the rows Of
corn, which was just sprouting; con-
ceiving the idea that they were pulling
up his corn, one of the birds was killed
and its crop examined. Instead Of
corn, it was found to contain one cut.
worm, twenty-one striped bugs, and
over one-hundred chinch bugs. A val
liable bird to the farmer is the quail,
and one that should be protected, in
stead of being hunted and shot for the
mere amusement of sport loving hunt
ers.

The best way to get rid of the docks
is to spade them out, and lay the roots
out to dry. If that is considered to be
too laborious job, take a sharp hoe
and cut them off just below the surface
of the ground, and in few weeks 90
over them again, cutting all off that
have sent out new leaves. Going over
them a few times in this way will
finish them all.

The Billiard Tournament.

VIgnnUx and Schaefer at PecI's Grand
 Opera House-A Fine Game
 The billiard tournament between the two famous experts Vignaux and Schaefer at Peck's Grand Opera House last evening cal led out only small audience as the affair was apparently but little known. A few la- dies were present and students were liberal ly scattered through the audience.
 The table occupied the center of the front of the hall and the audience had seats on the stage, in the gallery and on the main floor so that all could easily witness the shots of the players. The champions as they were introduced presented quite contrast Wig naux is a Frenchman, tall swarthy and with portentous abdominal projection which in- terfered somewhat with his agility when the exigencies of the play called upon him to mount the table. Schaefer, on the other hand, is small, wiry, boyishlooking fellow who toyed with the balls and rushed up the points with ightning-iike rapidity. The game was what is known as the balk line game of 600 points, Vignaux opened with run of 15. The game was close, Schaefer leading during the first part, then Vignaux by series of brilliant runs passed him, then Schaefer got small lead and fin upon him. The detailed score of the runs of each man is as follows: Vignaux, 15, 34, 6, IS, o, IT, 5, CT, 40, 0, 4, 13, l, 7, 11s, 100, 2, "A. 20, 4, 52. Schaefer, o, 26, 7, 92, AS, 8, .26, 6, 54, 52, 1, IT. ?, O, 4, 10, 0, A, 94, 58, o.
 After the game was concluded Mir. Wig nRux gave fine exhibition of his skill in fancy shots, making several wonderful ones that brought the applause of the house. He is remarkably cool, easy player, though not so quick and impetuous as Schaefer. Schaefer also excelled in keeping the balls together, going half around the table with them in about the same position.
 The table used was one of the celebrated Brunswick, Bake & Go. make. of which MT. Chas. H. Miller of this city is the agent.

 THE HoosAo TUNNEL.
 The train on the Troy and Boston railroad was 22 minutes late at the Hoosac Tunnel. Supt. Goodnow, of the New Haven and Northampton railroad, was on the Northamp- ton train, and brought the train to this city on schedule time, and the military force in waiting at the New Haven depot to receive the Grays were thus not delayed moment. The ride through the Hoosac Tunnel was ta- ken for the first time yesterday by many of the excursionists. It cost, together with the State railroad, as much as the Albany State House-$2O. 100000. It is five miles long, lacking few feet Four roads use it and the State road, pay ing toll to the State of Massachusetts, which owns the tunnel and the State road which is A miles long. The shaft which ventilates the tunnel is 1o3 feet long, extending to the
 
 feet It IS near the center of the tunnel The highest point of the mountain is 1,O36 feet above the level of the track. The dis tance from North Adams to New Haven is 123 miles.
 RECEPTION HOME BY THE CITY BATTALION, SEQ
 oND REGIMENT.
 The city battalion, Second regiment, was drawn up at the depot to welcome home the Grays and escort them to their armory The line was formed and this line of march taken up: Meadow to Church, to Chapel streets As the Grays turned from Church into Chapel street a perfect ovation awaited them. The sidewalks were lined with people and from nearly every window Roman can dles and red lights were let off, the street being constant flood of light from Church street to the armory. The returning command were greeted with cheer upon cheer on it's march through the streets, showing the high appreciation in which they are held by the citizens of our city.
 On arriving at the armory Captain Arnold in brief speech expressed his thanks to the actives and veterans for their soldierly bear ing during the trip. Following the actives gave three cheers for the veterans and the latter returned the compliment. Following came cheers for the home veterans not on the excursion, cheers for the city battalion who did escort duty and like compliments to the band. The order to fright face' and ''break ranks" was then given by the vet erans, which was promptly followed by the actives and soon thereafter the armory was vacated, the tired soldiers retiring to their homes to dream over the pleasures of their excursion.
