Calves-FOr the Dairy or the SHAMELESS.

Iwent through, as they say, q lot OF
tolerably fat, uniform lot. about six to
eight weeks old. nearly half heifers. 1t
struck me | would see what they prom
ised to make, if they could become
COWS, and | was surprised at the num-
Der of unusually promising ones.
There were no Dutch heifers (Hols-
teins), or half-breeds among them.
There We're many Shorthorns and Jer-
seys, few evidently of Ayrshire blood,
and of course good many-fully one
half-of no obvious breed, (natives).
Not long before l had been at one OF
Kellogg's sales, and I verify believe
that could have picked out from these
calves, which were all veal before the
next day, those which would have
proved better mixers, if not better but
ter makers, than nine-tenths of. those
that sold at one hundred and five dol
lars each. The farmer who does not
know enough not to kill or sell to the
butcher, calf that will make a twenty
quart COW, needs to take lessons OF
somebody in the abe of his business.
Such man has, probably, several COWS
in his herd, which never give over ten
or twelve quarts of milk, and very
likely poor milk at that.
The amount of butter that COW win
give is indicated by no telI-tale marks
that I know of. That must be Judged
by the pedigree and dams record, # a
calf, or by the scales. The unctuous
feel of the hide, its pliability, the
abundance of yolk, (the yellow, soapy
oil at the roots of the hair inside the
ear and in the ''butter ball'' in the end
of the taiD, indicate health, and per-
haps tendency to fat secretion, either
as butter er fat. But some of the poor
est butter yielders have ever known,
showed the most of these qualities, and
some of the very best had very little to
boast of, just enough of oil in the skin
to indicate good health, and that the
skin was performing all its important
functions well.
Color in the skin indicates color in the
butter. [ have never seen yellow
skinned COW, that gave pale butter, or
very rich-colored skin cow, that did
not giVe'yellowish butter all through the
winter. When the yolk, which gives
this color in the ears, tail and skin, be-
gins to show in calf, it will probably
never show less, and what butter the
COW gives will be of good COLOR

Condition Of Cuban Negroes.

The number of freed blacks in Cuba
since the Maret law of 1870 came into
action approaches four hundred thous.
hundred and ninety thousand still in q
condition of slavery, though under a
much mitigated system. These are the
patriconados, as the official term goes
They are bound to their owners until
their term expires, or unless they can
purchase their freedom. Some, through
the kindness of friends and relatives, do
purchase their freedom; SO that slavery
will practically expire in the island
within two years, and planters, like all
other employers, will be compelled to
pay for the labor that hitherto was to
them as that of the OK, or the mule, the
horse or the ass. Even to-day slave
holders must pay the patrocinados "a
softened name for slaves three dollars

The world knows what Lincoln's procla-
nation Of the freedom of slaves meant
in the United States. There was no
graduation to it. It was done once
and for all and forever. The Maret law
was graduated system. It's proclama-
ton broke the heart of the Cuban in
surrection after the buying over of the
Cuban chiefs by Marshal Campos. But
the effect of the graduated system of the
determination of slavery has not, on the
whole, been beneficial, though perhaps
advisable as regards this island and its
population of about a million and a
half, where the whites in point of num-
Der, with their divided interests, can
scarcely be said to predominant. Cor.

-Cabbages for winter use are usually
pushed ahead too fast, according to
Seed Time and Harvest. That is, they
are set out too early, and consequently
ripen off too early, SO early in many
cases that they will not keep until JAN
nary. Cabbage plants set out the last
of June on good rich soil will make
much better keepers than if set out the
first of June. TO be truly valuable the
garden must produce something for all
seasons of the year-a constant and
plentiful supply. This cannot be done
by sowing the garden all at one time. as
too many do, rather than have any after
trouble with it.
To free canaries and other cage
birds from the insects which infest
them, the following method is recon-
mended by one who has successfully
practioed it for years: Every night just
at dusk the cage or aviary is covered
over with white cloth. During the
night parasites will crawl from off the
birds on to the cloth, where they
may be seen running about when the
cloth is removed at daybreak. The in
sects may be killed by putting the cloth
into boiling water. a repetition of the
process will soon clear away the pests
without injuring the birds. Insect
powders will no doubt kill parasites,
but the birds as well.-Nea0 EagIaasd

Mr.. kingsbury, after emphatically
expressing his inability to be candi-
date for Supt. of Public instruction,
gives a lengthy outline of what manner
of man the Superintendent ought to be,
and therein clearly shows his own fit
ness for the position. We take an ex-
/ tract:-
We have availed ourselves of the kind
reference in our esteemed contemporary,
which we appreciate, to ventilate some
OF our opinions about the Superinten-
dency. Never thinking of office our
selves we are wholly unselfish in our
endeavors to help redeem an office from
the low position to which it has been
relegated in ignorance. We would re-
joice to see the ablest and best furnish
ed man in North Carolina at the head
of our public school system. The man
who will give his best years to the su-
pervision of the educational work in
North Carolina. and will 80 elevate and
magnify the office of Superintendent as
| to make it to be felt IN every section
and throughout all ranks of society, un-
/ til all men shall learn to regard it as the
/ highest of ali Offices to which the purest
and most gifted men might well aspire,
will richly deserve and should receive
/ the plapdits of the people while living,
ana q statue Of gold when dead.
The salary of the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction of great State is the
magnificent sum of $500 There are
bo0k-keepers in Wilmington who re-
ceive an Sl,S00 salary. 1t is a confess
sion on the part of the people Of the
State, through their Legislature, that
the office is of no worth or mcment.
What man of superior parts and Gualiti-
cations can afford to take such an Office
with such pay, Pay him as much as
you pay the Governor, or more, if YOU
wish to see the ablest men filling it
! The efficiency of the whole common
school system to very great extent
depends upon tho ability and Qualifica-
tons Of the superintendent. With a
decidedly able man at the head he would
soon have such an interest awakened
throughout the Commonwealth in re-
gard to popular education that the Leg
islature would be forced by public senti-
ment to take advanced ground. You
would find liberal appropriations and
good pay ana lOng school terms and
qualified teachers and comfortable school
houses and needed modern appliances
all going hand in hand. God-speed The
day.
