Mary was buxom country lass,
aud her father was an upright deacon
in the Methodist church of a Conncc-
ticut village. Msry's plan of joining
the boys and girls ia nutting party
was frustrated by the unexpected ar
rival of number of the ''brethreu"
on thier way to conference, and Mary
had to stay at home and get dinner
for her fathers clerical guests. Her
already rufied temper was increased
by the reverend visitors themselves,
who sat about the stove and in the
way. One of the good ministers
noticed her wrathful impotence, and
desiring to rebuks the sinful manifes-
tation, said sternly: "Mary, what do
you think will be your occupation in
hell?" "Pretty much the same as it is
on earth," she replied; "cooking for

Tub-Feeding of Mich Cows.

Mr.. G. K. Benton, Sharon, Conn,
writes to his Home Farmer of the
winter method of COW keeping in
that milk region, mentioning especial
ly the stub system of feeding" with
which he says he is very much pleas
ed:
eve use half frkin butter tubs.
The theory is that the hard Particles
of grain, corn especially, are render
ed easier of digestion BY being soaked
several hours. In the afternoon we
put each cows morning rations of
grain in her tub. and add seven or
eight quarts of water. The tubs are
then set upon o shelf over the cows
heads. In the morning, before milk
ing, we set them down for the cows
breakfast. At Z o'clock they are
turned out of the stable for one hour
while we wet up the noon feed and
put hay in the hangers. At s they
are turned in to their hay, which
they consume in about one hour. at
II they receive their tubs again, and
at | are turned out. In the afternoon
the stables are cleaned and bedded,
the morning grain is put in thr tubs
and wet up aud hay is placed in the
managers. At 3 80 o'clock they are
returned to the stables, and MILKING
IS commenced soon after, and finish
ed little before FIVE.
If fanny hay then remains before the
COWS, it is taken away, for we consid-
er it quite as poor economy to let
cows eat too much hay as to let them
eat too much grain. They are then
watered with pales and the stable is
closed for the night. Besides the vat
OF water in the stable, there is also q
large tank in the yard, both supplied
by windmill 20 rods distant. The
average amount of grain fed to milk
ers is about as follows: Corn meal "a
pounds; Gotten seed meal 1 pound;
wheat bran II pounds making S
pounds of grain for each feed or 10
pounds day on an average. Some
get little more and some less, &C
cording to age, size and condition.
No one had better undertake this
system until he secures a good sup
ply OF water very convenient to his
stables. In fact, to make milk, one
must have plenty of water. As the
saying among milkmen is, milk and
water belong together. But this
must not be understood by city read
ers In too extremely literal sense"

of work will be done, of which they
will have no cause to be proud. Mr.
Hammond wodld worthily fill Uni

The Augusta Chronicle and Con-
stitutionalist, on the same, line has
this to say:
"Politics in the fifth district are

nection we are glad to know that
Congressman Hammond is again on
deck in Washington. Hammond is
one of the best men in Georgia and
should be kept in position by all

izing the Congressional districts,
made important changes in the coun-
ties composing the fifth, and hence
the uncertainty and interest attach
ing to the district. We shall watch
the contest with much interest. The

The Washington correspondent Of
the New Orleans Times Democrat,
commenting on the Senate's action
in the matter of private Secretaries,
says: "a member of the House has
mora need of private secretary than
a Senator. If be wants that luxury
aet him pay for it. 1t would have
been a much better course in the opin-
ion of many members for the Senate
to have voted outright to increase
their salury 1000 year. The bill,
in which there is an appropriation
for the Senate contingent fund, out
OF which the private secretaries to
Senators are to be paid, is the legis-
lative, executive and judicial. The
House prepared this bill. There is
likely to be dead lock between the
House and Senate when that bill is
considered this session. A number
of members have determined to put
in it clause prohibiting pay to SEN
ator's secretaries

The committee appointed by the

suits of the experiments of the late
Parish c. Furman for the year 1883
beg leave to make the following re-
port;
From the sixty-fve acres under
cultivation on his intensive " system,
there were gathered six:y-one bales
of cotton, averaging $50 lbs or near
ly one bale to the acre; this too, in
spite of the general and unprecedent-
ed drought, extending throughout
the months of August, September,
and October. Mr.. Furman planted
for eighty-five bales, and it is the
opinion of your committee, most of
whom saw the cotton at it's greatest
promise just before the drouth set in
that if it had not have been for said
drought, there would have been real
ized even more than was planted tor,
and that the crop on the sixty-fye
acres would have reached probably
an hundred bales or more.
