Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 20.-(Special)-The vol ume of the port and interior receipts today was simply appalling. January was de- pressed almost as low as it was yester- day, but recovered at the close. January opened at 7.49, advanced to 7.5i, declined to 7.45, but rallied in the latter trading and closed at 7.52q753 with the tone steady It now looks as if there is great deal more cotton in the south than we had expected.
 Under the circumstances the power of re- sistance shown by the market today was indeed surprising. It proves that if there should be any marked drop in the receipts a quick recovery would be certain to follow.
 But there are no signs as yet of any fall ing off and if next week should equal the presentsone in the cotton movement it is not likely that present prices can be sus- tained. RIORDAN & CO.

Skim Milk ns stock Feed.

In estimating the profits of the dairy
too little regard is paid to the value OF
the skim milk as feed for pigs. calves
and poultry. 1t is so well adapted to
all these kinds of stock that when used
in connection with othe- feed. as 1t al
ways should be, the skim milk will be
worth much more than it can be If fed
alone. MIX is not perfect ration. 1t
contains too much bulk for Its nutri-
ton, and that nutrition is more largely
heterogeneous than II need to be for
profitable feeding. This makes 1t much
more valuable for feeding with grain
of all kinds, and especially with corn,
I'm which carbonaceous nutriment Is
greatly In excess. With plenty of skim
milk young pigs can eat and digest an
amount of meal that would stunt their
growth II given alone. But probably
the best use of skim milk is as feed for
hens. For this purpose it is best made
into curd. and most of its whey squeez-
ed out of 1t. If the milk is given. only
enough should be. offered Mt one time
that the fowls will drink. for II it

Under some circumstances grass APP
pears to grow better under trees than
1t does when exposed to the full blaze
of the summers sun. In young or
chard, and especially one that is plow-
ed every year. the tree roots near the
surface are cut off by the annual cult
walton. This leaves several inches Of
soil in which shallow-rooted grass
plants thrive. But in orchards that
have long been uncultivated. tree roots
will be found very near the surface,
ready to take in the rainfall, even Of
very light showers. In such clrcum-
stances it is impossible for grass to
thrive, and much less for the deeper
rooted clover to do so. In any event,
the grass grown in the shade will have
less nutrition than that which has
abundant sunlight. In pasturing an
orchard some extra food should always
be given, not only for the benefit of the
trees, but to supplement the deficien-
cies Of the pasture.

markable record of the luxuriant
growth of this plant has been given

tons to the acre, blowing deeply and
narrowing The seed was sown in
drills 20 inches apart, at the rate of
four or five pounds to the acre. The
seed was sown about the middle OF
May. When the plants were up, cul-
tivator was run through the rows, and
the growth became so rapid that no
further culture was necessary. The
first cutting was made forty-five days
after sowing; 1t was seven feet high,
and covered the whole ground. The
crop, cut three inches above the ground,
weighed as cut at the rate of 30 tons
per acre; dried. 615 tons per acre. The
second growth, cut forty-five days from
the time of the first cutting, was nine
feet high, and weighed at the rate OF
80 tons to the acre fresh. equal to eight
tons dried. The last growth started
rapidly. but the cool weather retarded
1t, so that the last cutting only weighed
10 tons and IL tons dried. The total
yield was % tons green fodder in 1876

Meadows should always be rolled ear
ly in the spring while the ground is
soft But If not done then, it should
not be neglected little later. The roll
ing will not only compact the soil about
the grass roots, but 1t will press down
into the soil the small stones which
have been loosened and raised by frost
1t is not the large stones that are most
dreaded by the driver of a moving
machine. The largest stone can be
seen and avoided. 1t is the small, thin
stones. just large enough to go between

The first grass is always poor In quar-
Ity. as it is grown before the soil is
warmed and when it contains little
available heterogeneous plant food. For
this reason cows ought always to be
fed some grain when put at pasture,
for, il not, they will be obliged to make
good the quality of their milk by taking
the fat stored on or in their bodies, and
putting it into the milk pail. The better
the COW is as n mixer the more In
cllned she Is to do this. When 1t Is
found that granting the COW only fat
tens her, without increasing the milk
flow, keep ON feeding the COW until she
Is fattened for beef. The more quickly
a COW is fattened the better quality her
beef VIII be. Cow beef has a reputa'
ton for being tough, because the COW Is
generally fattened while its owner Is
drawing from her the last drop of milk
he can get.

Along the monumental walls
Whore still in faded pomp are read
The name and virtues Of the dead.
Yet from yon efiigy Of knight
The craven name has vanished quite.

That he who sleeps fought true and well;
In kindness swift. In vengeance slow.
A constant friend, a courteous foe.
Who partly fought for love OF fight
But chiefly for the love Of right.
