American Postage Stamps.

The new two cent rate of letter postage goes
into effect on the first day of October next. and
by the change the familiar green three cent
stamp bearing the profile of Washington,
will go out Of common use, after 13 years Of
service. The first issue of adhesive postage
stamp used by the government appeared in
1851, and consisted Of two denominations u
five cent stamp bearing the face of Frank
lin, whose zeal and ability laid the founda-
| ton of our postal system, and a ten cent
| stamp with the head of Washington upon it.
Not long after a second series of five denom-
| inations was issued The one cent stamp
| bore Frankln's image, the three Washing
| tons, the FIVE Jefferson's and the ten and
| twelve varied picture of Washington. In
| 1857 this series was increased by the issue of
| a twenty four, thirty, and a ninety cent
| stamp, and Of these two different portraits of
Washington monopolized the twenty four and
| ninety, while second view of Franklin
| filed the frame of the thirty. The third issue
appeared in 1861, Washington atill appear
| ing on five denominations, Franklin on two,
and jefferson on one. In 1868 the first
two cent stamp was printed. 1t was black,
and bore the face of jackson very conspicu-
| ouslv placed. In 1866 the Is cent stamp was
| introduced for foreign postage, and had placed
upon it the portrait of Lincoln. These re-
mained in use without change till 1870, when
| a series of 10 square stamps of various de
signs appeared. Three of them bore portraits.
The one cent was still reserved for Franklin.
Washington was placed on the six cent, and
Lincoln on the 80 cent. The other designs
| we're fancifui and unpopular, and a new issue,
| the one now in use, was brought out month
| later. In this Franklin is on the one cent.
Jackson on the two, Washington on the three,
| Lincoln on the six. Jefferson on the 10, Clay
on the 10 Webster on the Id Scoft on the "a
| Hamilton on the 80 and Commodore o. II.
Perry on the 30. The seven was later given
| to Stanton and the five to Garfield. Thus
| it will be seen that, from the first, the de-
| nomination in commonest use has borne the
| head of Washington. As the three cent
| stamp will now go almost entirely out Of use,
| and the two cent became universal, it is very
proper that the Postmaster General should
place the image Of Washington on newly
designed two cent stamp as he intends to do.

In report on farm animals, the Depart
ment of Agriculture says the increase in
number of population and advance in price of
meat have had stimulating effect upon the
stock growing industry. The mild weather
of the winter of 1881 80 was also very favor
able to the increase of numbers on the
western ranges and in the southwest by
avoidance of losses, which, in some winters,
largely counterbalance the natural increase.
Numbers of cattle remain nearly stationary
east of the Mississippi There has been in
operation a strong tendency in the north
west to reduce the area in wheat and extend
the breadth of corn and pasturage. 1t is a
healthful tendency, sustained by the fact of
superior profit in production of beef and
milk. and encouraged by the uncertainty Of
wheat growing and reduction of rate of yield
under the regime of continuous wheat culture.
There has been a great advance in Dakota,
Wyoming. Montana and New Mexico. A
portion of the increase over the estimates of
last year comes from more complete
enumeration of ranch stock. The number
and value reported are as follows -

Economic Feeding in Winter.

Prof. J. W. Sanborn, late of New Hamp-
shire Agricultural College, gives the result
of some of his feeding experiments in the
American Agriculturalist, from which the
following is extracted: ceiled up stalls fer
Is cows at a cost of $50. l ascertained how
much milk cows in these stables were giving,
each. Then two were put upon the other side
of the barn for month, and at the close of
a month. the two lots ofcows were exchanged.
and the milk flow noted. The hay eaten was
daily weighed for each lot; the weight of the
cows noted, and the amount of butter from
given quantity of milk taken. The quality
of the milk, so far as butter was concerned,
and the weight of the cows were not seeming
ly affected by the temperature, the changes
noted being in the amount of milk flow. The
food saved by the warmer stalls, was Slbs.
stover, and Obs. hay per COW, per day, and
the increase of milk flow, per cent. With
hay at SIG per ton. stover at So, and a cow
giving 10 qts. milk per day, worth q cents
per quart, we have total in favor of the
warmer stalls, of Il cents per COW, per day.
These facts were carefully taken over period
of nearly three months, and in their re-
suits show that nearly got the cost of i'm
proving the stable for the first winter, or
about 100 per cent interest for four months.
The difference i'll temperature of the ceiied
stalls, and those of the open barn. was from
ten degrees to twelve degrees. will give
an illustration of the effect of change of tenn
perature, on lot in stalls not closed from
the open barn. Jan. 18th to 5Sth-yield $50
lbs milk, temperature one degree below the
freezing point. Jan. 29th to Feb. 7th-yield
500 lbs, temperature ten degrees below the
freezing point, loss ten per cent. Many a
farmer whose money is out at low rate of in
terest on doubtful security. will find it prof
table TO invest in bettet stalls. How warm
shall we attempt to maintain our stables!
My impression is, that it will not be desira-
pie to gain an average temperature above
forty five to fifty degrees in cold weather,
unless by artificial sources of heat, a higher
temperature is gained by sacrifice of essen
tial ventilation. thought that in the trials,
forty five degrees gave me as good result
as higher temperature. Others say that
sixty degrees is the most desirable.
