lifted Van Buren, into the high office.
Mr.. Tilden will, if he declines re-
nomination and second term, in the
opinion of our esteemed contemporary
also be & president maker, because ne
will control tie New York delegation.

Indications of a Good Cow.

There are breeders of note who care
nothing for escutcheon marks, but there
seems to be such demand at present
for animals of good families bearing
this marx that to consider the other
side may be opportune. 1t cannot be
denied that poor mixer sometimes
has fine escutcheon. The size of the
escutcheon is claimed to be the guam
tity of blood delivered to the mammery
glands, and yet We find on the other
hand, animals with small escutcheons,
or none, that give large yields. While
as general thing animals having good
escutcheons do have an accompanying
milk flow, we cannot depend on that,
but must consider it in connection with
other signs. NomdicOIon taken siogly
can be regarded us intalIible. A good
COW should have in addition to a good
escutcheon, or should have primarily, a
large muzzle, large paunch, large milk
veins, large udder, and if we find Il
good escutcheon no harm done-and
above all she should have a cow look
l believe this last item to be very i'm
portant.
While then we are looking for re.
versed hair, let us not confne ourselves
to this mark, but look for accompany
ing points instead of c1n6ning ourselves
to matters that must remain conjectural.

Hot Water.

The application Of hot water to the
surface for the relief of pain is an old,
well.tned remedy. The medical pro-
fession now universally recognize its
value.
At the commencement of a cold the
mucous membrane Of the nostrils often
80 swells as to prevent the passage Of
air through them, and the person is
compelled to breath through his mouth.
The discomfort may be often removed
by holding the feet in quite hot water.
Many severe headache can be re-
lieved in the same way.
Pains in the bowels may be mitiga
ted or removed by applying to them
rubber bags of hot water, or folds Of
wooden cloths wrung out from water as
hot as can be borne. The same thing
is true Of face.aches, earaches and of
most aches aud pains.
The principle on which the relief
depends is known by the name OF
counter-irritation. The pains in each
case are due to congested state of the
blood-vessels. That is, the vessels are
unduly distended with blood, and thus
press upon and irritate the neighbor
ing nerves.
The hot water, by getting up an If
ritation at distance, enlargeS the ca
pillaries in that part and thus turns
the blood thither, relieving the pres
sure at the points of pain.
The quantity Of blood diverted, say
from the head to the feet, by plungiuI

their millions of capillaries being dis

An Enormous Yield.

The Townsville, Ca, Times says:
Sometime last spring the Southern
World offered a premium of 500, in
gold, to the boy under sixteen years of
age, who would report the best yield OF
any crop on a half acre Of land. Mas
ter Mark Battle, son of Rev, j. r.
Battle, saw the proposition and con
tested for it. The results of his labor
was two hundred and fifty bushels Of
fine, large sweet potatoes, on a half
acre. A specimen half bushel Of the
potatoes, and proper accompanying
certificates-sworn to by disinterested
parties--were forwarded the other day
to the Southern World, at Atlanta.
We commend the worthy example II
young Mr.. Battle to the young men
and boys of Thomas. 1t shows what
a boy can do when he tries. Boys
make great mistake when they think
that foarming is only drudgery, and
can not be made to pay, What the
country needs is fewer clerks with their
hair parted in the middle, fewer pro
fessional droncs, and more manly youth,
who are not afraid and ashamed to take
hold Of the plow But make the coun
try prosperous and the towns will take
care Of themselves. 1t is in the sol
where the sureSt chances of success ar,
found it is on the farm where The
truest contentment is found it l
around the country family fresid,
where the truest virtue is found. De
spise not the country.

Cattle Feeding.

Most animals eat in proportion to
their weight, under average conditions
of age temperature and fatness.
Give fatteuing cattle IS much as
they will eat and oiten-fve times a
day.
Never:.give rapid changes OF food,
change often.
A good guide for safe quantity of
grain per day to maturing cattle is one
pound to every hundred Of their weight;
thus an animal weighing one thousand
pounds may receive ten pounds of
grain.
Every stall feeding in the fall will
make the winters progress more GER
tain by thirty per cent.
Give as much water and salt at all
times as they will take.
In using roots, it is one guide to
give just so much, in association with
other things, 50 that the animal may
not take any water.
In buildings have warmth with COM
plete ventilation, without currents, but
never under 40 nor over 60 degrees.
A cold, damp, airy temperature will
cause animals to consume more food
without corresponding results in bone,
muscle, flesh or fat, much being used
to keep up warmth.
