Feeding Oil Meal to Cows.

AS no other North Pomfret friend
answered the query regarding linseed,
cotton-seed and gluten meal, venture my
assertions. Linseed meal not being as rich
as the other kinds mentioned, much more
can be fed of it, Have known eighteen
quarts per day to be fed to COW without
injury. Too much of corn-meal, linseed
cotton-seed or gluten does tend to garget.
The evident remedy being to feed less, some
say feed more bran. When COW has the
garget, a small piece of garget-root given
her will effect cure. Saltpetre, table
spoon of pulverized at a dose, once day
for two days, then omit for two days, re-
peat till cured. These remedies will usu-
ally effect cure. There are cases which
cannot be cured, as in all other diseases

Sherman Gave the Information.

Sherman's sense of humor was strongly
developed, he being able to listen to or to tell
good story with equal enjoyment
One of his stories is of an incident i'll his
famous march to the sea, and occurred on
the piazza of a house by the roadside where
he had halted to rest. An old confederate,
who was present, coveted little informa~
ton as to the plans of the army, and was
meditating eliciting it from Sherman, who
he knew was an officer by his dress, when
some one addressed him as General" In
surprise he turned to Sherman:
" Are you general"
Eyes, sir" was the response.
what is your name?'
Sherman"
" Sherman You don't mean General
Sherman"
"That's who | mean"
How many men have you got?'
Oh, over a Million
"Well, General, there's just one question
I'd like to ask if you have no objections
Go ahead"
"where are you'ns a-going when you go
away from here?'
"Well, that's pretty stiff question to ask
an entire stranger under these circum-
stances, but if you will give me your word
to keep it secret, don't mind telling you"
" will keep it secret; don't have no
fear of me-"
" But there is a great risk, you know.
What if l should tell you my plans, and
they should get over to the enemy?"
81 tell you there is no fear of me"
You are quite sure | can trust you?"
f." AS your own brother
The general slowly climbed into his sad
die and leaned over to the expectant con-
federate, who was all eyes and ears for the
precious information. 81 will tell you where
/ am going. am going just where please,
And he did, and there was not enough
power in the South to stop him.

Prof. Cooke on the Scott System.

AGRICULTURAL EDIToR:-Your remarks in
the WATCHMAN concerning Amasa Scott's
feeding COWS on dry grass at North Crafts
bury, have come to my notice, and what you
say in regard to the Agricultural College in
connection herewith
In reply, allow me to say that during the
past two years the Station has spent good
deal of time and study on the general sub
ject, with special reference to Mr.. Scott's
methods, and l may say that the results are
not very promising, There seem to be certain
requisites which would be seldom met with
in Vermont farm practice, in order to make
such methods success.
The first is a field especially stocked
with reference to the kind of treatment it
is to receive-that is, stocked with grass that
will grow up again quickly when cut, and
especially stocked thickly enough with roots
so as to make respectable cutting in weight
when the grass is only eight or ten inches
high. This requires that the land should
be stocked down without grain; that it be
seeded extra heavy; that the ground be
very fertile, and that the frequent cuttings
begin as soon as the first growth of grass is
a few inches high III such field were al
lowed for single time to make fu II growth
it will largely kill out.
And lastly, and by all odds the most i'm
portant part, it must be up in the hills higl
enough so as to get the heavy dews in July
and August that will serve to keep it moist
and growing in those months. There is but
a small portion of the land in the state
which has these last requisites. franklin,
Chittenden, Addison and Rutland countie:
together scarcely have fifty farms where
this last condition is met with.
Mr.. Scott is specially favored in this re-
spect, and 1 have visited farms around
Waterbury Center of which this was also
true SO much for the physical conditions
which are necessary to make that method
of grass-growing success.
To begin with, there must be the man who

WE are sincerely obliged by Pro-
fessor Scott's prompt response to the
request of our correspondent. The
New Hampshire college has always
been noted for its close relations with
the practical farmer; and its usefulness
has never been questioned, nor has il
ever lacked the support of the people
Its career contains lesson for other
institutions of the same class.

The Best Ration for Cows.

MANY thanks to Professor Cooke
(and we know our readers will join us
in thanking him) for this instructive
report on the Scott System. Such work
as this is what will strengthen any in
stitution in the estimation of the pub
lie. We shall be more than glad to be
made the medium of communicating
such important results to the farmers of
the state, and to give full credit to such
good service.

is willing to take the large amount OF care
and petty fussing required who is willing
to drop everything the moment the grass is
ready for him, and then, with an abundance
of hay-caps, keep right at the grass until it
is ready to go into the barn. Few who
have not handled grass cut at this stage
have any idea OF the work required to cure
grass cut at this stage. We always cut
several acres when in that stage, and this
year, after four days of bright sun, there was
still some of it that was not ready for the
barn. Any farm that is near enough to the
mountains to get the needed amount Of
moisture during July and August, will
usually be getting an over-supply from the
10Th to the 25th of June, when the first and
most important cutting is being made.
All that Mr.. Scott says about the good
qualities of such grass is undoubtedly cor
rect.
We took cow off from good pasture the
Goth of June, and kept her on hay for four
weeks, without stirring out of the barn, and
sent her back to pasture giving more milk
per day than when she entered the barn.
The conclusion we have come to in our
study OF the matter is, that there are very
few farmers, indeed in the state who could
afford to copy Mr.. Scott's methods, and that
the direction for the study is rather toward
finding some crop that, cut in its prime, will
still have as good feeding qualities as that
early grass. Such crop we think we have
found in the Spring Vetch, but we do not
wish to recommend it unreservedly until
we have completed our experiments for this
year. W. W. COOKE.

Editorial N0tings.

GOVERNOR RUSSELL of Massachu-
sets made an excellent choice in Sc
lecting Editor Whitaker as assistant
secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, for he is live man, good
man and an able man. But, all the
same, we think editors would do better
to let office holding alone. There may
rise occasions when it would be the
duty of the Ne,o England Farmer to
criticise the action of the Massachu-
setts Board of Agriculture, in the in
terest of its readers and the public.

THE season is at hand when good
drainage and cleanliness about the farm
buildings will count. Besides fever
germs, stagnant water contains ferment
germs of various sorts; and these often
infest milk so that sound cheese can
not be made from it, nor can cream be
properly separated-or when separated
be satisfactorily churned They are
among the causes of frothing in the
churn.

HAYING-TIME in the hills; yes, and
some not yet (July 30) done in the low
lands. 1t is always better to begin hay
ing too soon than too late. The loss is
less. AT any rate, we should strive to
cut all our grass before the seed has
got more than half its growth-that is,
before it will shell when dry.

SHEEP need attention at this season.
The gadhy is abroad, but full protection
is given by clear pine tar, warmed a
little so as to be fluid, and we'll daubed
on and over the nose. Some salt their
sheep by putting the salt in two-inch
auger-holes, and daubing the tar around
the holes, so that the sheep will tar
their own noses. This is lazy mans
invention, but better than some such.

More Classical Than sensitive

=
One of the chief competitors at the
Chancery Bar OF Mr.. Richard Bethel,
&C, afterwards Lord Chancellor
Westbury, was Mr.. John Rolf, &C.
who was subsequently one Of the
Lord Justices, and who was consid-
cred an equally able lawyer but had
net received SO brilliant a classical
training.
If word was pronounced, as he
thought, wrongly in his hearing
Bethel would be greatly irritated, as
the following unreported story bears
witness. .
The defence set up on one occasion
in an action by Mr.. Rolf was that the
plaintiff, for whom Mr.. Bethel
appeared, had been too dilatory in
coming to the Court for relief, and
consequently Mr.. Rolf in his address
several times mentioned the word
which is the legal equivalent OF
dilatoriness, viz, "laches" pronounc-
ing the a as in the word action.
Bethel WINGED each time that word
was SO uttered, and at length getting
wild, he said in an audible whisper,
and in his peculiar deliberate manner,
"Mr. Rolf, I really should feel very
grateful to you if you would say
laches" as in acre.
Rolf replied that Bethel was too
sensitive. Whereupon the latter,
astonished that anyone should think
him sensitive man, rejoined, "No,
Mr.. Rolf, no. | do assure you that
am more classical than sensitive"

PaRaninI's Shoe-Vlolin.

A Paris newspaper recently an
nounced the sale OF one of the most Gu
rious violins in the world. 1t formerly
belonged to Paganini, the great violin
list, and, at first sight, merely presents
the appearance of a misshapen
wooden shoe. Its history is curious,
and is not without interest,
During the winter of 1888 Paginini
was living in Rue de la Victoria, 49.
One day q large box was brought there
by the Normandy diligence, on open
ing which he found two inner boxes,
and, wrapped carefully in the folds of
tissue paper, o wooden shoe and s.
letter, stating that the writer, having
heard much of the wonderful genius OF
the violinist, begged, as proof of his
devotion to music, that Paginini
would play in public on the oddly
constructed instrument inclosed.
At first Paganinl felt this to be an
impertinent satire, and mentioned the
facts with some show of temper to his
friend, the Chevalier de Bairde. The
latter took the shoeto violin-maker,
who converted it into q remarkably
sweet-toned instrument, and Paeinini
was pressed to try the shoe-violin in
public.
He not only did so, but performed
upon it some of his most difficult fam
tasias, which facts, in the handwriting
of the violinist, are now recorded on
the violin itself.
