Never buy a cow of a dairvman, for il
he is q good manager, he will sell only
his poor cows.


To determine which cows are best for
keeping try their milk separately, and
weigh the butter-for sometimes COW
may give much milk and little butter
and vice versa


Cows should be run dry six weeks be-
fore calving. If MIXED closely before
calving, the calves will be poorer.


A COW newly come in should not drink
cold water in cold weather, but moderate
ly warm slop Calves intended for rails
ING, should be taken from the COW within
a few days, and they will be less liable
to suck when old. Feed them first with
new milk for a time, then skim milk, then
sour milk, taking care that all changes
are gradual by adding only a portion at
first; add gradually little meal


Calves well fed and taken care of. with
quart or two Of meal daily in winter,
will be double the size at two yeals thev
would have attained by common treat
ment


Heiters thus treated may come in at .
years old. and will be better than neglect
ed animals at three and one year of feed
ing saved.


Hearty eaters are desirable for cows,
and they may be selected while calves
a dainty calf will make dainty cow.


Heifers should become accustomed to
being freely handled before calving and
drawing the teats


They will not be difficult to miIk-be>
gin gradually and never startle them.


In milking cows, divide the time as
nearly as possible between morning and
evening-especially at the time of early
grass, that the udder may not suffer


Persons who milk should keep the nails
cut short; animals are sometimes cut
with sharp nails, and unjustly charged
with restlessness.


Old cows should be fatted at fifteen
years \ dairyman, therefore, who has
fifteen cows should raise a heifer calf ev-
cry year to supply the vacancy If the
herd IS thirty cows he should raise two
calves etc


Heifcrs dried up too early after calving
will always run dry in after years at the
same time; therefore be careful to milk
closely the first year until about six weeks
before coming in.

DESTROYING INSECTS on TREEs.-.In
l765, NJ. George Bradford, of Hereford,
England, discovered the following method
Of destroying insects upon plum and 9TH
er kinds of trees. The experiment may
be worth trying again. The account was
first published in the English Dictionary
Of HuSbandry, near a century ago, as
follows:


The first tree he tried the experiment
upon was q favorite plum tree he was
afraid OF trying it upon the whole body
Of the tree at first, as he did not know but
that it might kill it at once and therefore
he selected out particular branch, which
was designed to be cut quite away at the
winter pruning, for his first essay. The
method Of the experiment is this: He
took a small awl, and pierced sloping
through the rind, and into part of the
wood Of the branch, but not to the heart,
or pith of it; poured in small drop or
two Of quicksilver, and stopped it up with
a small wooden plug. made to fit the ori-
fce And the result Of this experiment
was that the insects all dropped off from
that very branch, that very day and, in
day or two more, from off the other
branches Of the tree, without any other
puncture; and the tree continued in full
vigor, and throve well all the summer af
ter Encouraged by this success of his
first essay, he next tried it upon honey
suckle, the leaves of which were quite
covered with insects; and here he scrnped
away the top Of the ground with q trowel,
and run his awl in the same sloping man.

roots, but with same caution as above
not quite to the inner pith, and the sue

all dropped of dead, the next day after

Suppose, for instance, that Mr.. Sumner should

There could be but one result If the class

Such advice would be considered an effort TO
justify the negroes TO resist all who endeavored
to prevent their exercising the elective fran
chise. Senator Sumner has just as much right
to council the negroes in this State on that
point as he has those Of North Carolina or any
other Southern State. The constitution Of the
United States explicitly leaves the control Of
the question of suffrage to the State. The laws
which existed in the Southern States before
the rebellion on that question are still the
laws there. This Is the view explicitly held
by the President in his proclamation of the 10th
