M MANAGEMENT OF MlLCH COWS.

 Perhaps there is no one point of dairying treated with so much neglect and indifference, and attended with as great loss to the dairy man as milking. Not more than twenty five years ago, 1t was considered a good lot ol Cows to produce 200 lbs. of cheese to the COW on an average, and the farmer who ob tained that amount wss called skilliul dairy man and even at. the present days, many Keep along in the same old track, doing we'll as they term it, while others obtain 5C0 lbs. and some have gone as high as 600 lbs and over, to the COW, besides good quantity oi butter

 How is this difference to be accounted for ? One reason 1 would give is milkiny. A COW to give large quantity of milk, should have one steady hand 10 draw the milk, one that can perform it qnck and easy. Care should be taken to milk the COW perfectly clean. Ar. other important object is to milk at regular hours. In long days, COWS should be miiked and turned to the pasture one hour or lDor': before sunset, that the time between milkinss be nearly equal. Ycts the practice is with some to work iu the field until darkness comes to prevent them from work, then drive up the COWS, and have them milked by inexperienced haEds, and those too who take 10 interest in the business q should not blame them if they did not) then leave the COWS in a close yard during night. have always noticed that those who make all odd jnb of milking, never '"alize much profit from their CONS. That there is great difference in COWS, 1 will ad nit, though 1 think there is more in the man asemert Of them than ill the quality ; yet the farmer shoulu be vc,y careful in tue selection of COWS for the dairy. l find some of ny best COWS wonid be counted worthless if they had different hands to milk them, and those, too, who were inexperienced iu tl.e business.

 am often told by ny neighbors tlat l have some peculiar G!ethod of making nore cheese rom tie same Quantity of milk than they. Ii is very true, there may be something to be considered ou this point, but l never ss Yet found the secret of making butter and cheese without milk.

 Another reason is. good keeping. Cows should be kept in warm stables, we'll Uttered an,i late in the Spring. The pactice of let ting COWS lie out on tie cold wet ground as soon as it is bare, is very injurious. They should be kept up and well fed, that they may be in some good heart and good order when turned to grass. Salt should always be kept in troughs, under sheds, that cattle can have it at their command throughout the year. An other fact of much importance is, stablng COWS early in the fall As soon as cold storms come on, they should be stabled, which will add one third to tue quantity of milk. By complying with the rules in this article, it will enable the farmer to realize and amply repay him for his time and extra trouble, thereby saving a loss of flesh, which would be dis advantage to the farmer. Another fact all will admit, (especaly those that feel iater st. ed in this departlnent,) the stock will be better prepared to endure the hardships that they will naturally undergo during the long winter months.

AN INCREDIBLE BARBARITY. The chiv-
airy OF the South has exhibited fresh proof
of their boasted devotion to woman. Not
content with giving her the precedence in
the ball room and by the fireside, they would
have her take the advance on the battle.fie
also. These brave Southrons rally valorously
behind woman's skirts. A telegram from
st. Louis informs us that at the late fight at
Paducah they put their helpless females for
ward as the bulwark of defence against
storm of Federal bullets. and with a sharp
ness which even Yankee would not have
practised, availed themselves of a flag of
truce to restore their shattered lines In
Southern parlance this may be chivalrous,
but the world will unite in pronouncing such
atrocity fiendish, and the annals of civilized
warfare will be searched in vain for parallel
for so barbarous an outrage upon woman.-
We trust that for the honor of humanity the
despatch will prove to be unfounded.-[ Wash

THE LAMEYTED LovEJoy.-The Chicago
Times, though a bitter Copperhead, and
most INSCRIPTIONS partizan, has the grace to
speak thus reyerently of Owen Lovejoy:


Owen Loyejoy was an honest Abotionist.
He was a member of that party when it was
an object of derision and hatred to more than
nine-tenths of the voters of the United States.
Naturally benevolent and generous, his hatred
of Slavery was quickened by education, and
aroused by resentment in the murder of his
brother, at Alton, in 1887, for proposing to
establish there an Abolition newspaper. His
sympathies with the real and imaginary suf-
ferings of the slaves oyercame all considera-
lions OF danger resulting from the agitation
OF the Slavery question. However much we
may condemn the teachings of the original
Abolitionists, and however justly we may in
fer that the present awful calamities resting
upon the nation are traceable TO them. II is
impossible not TO respect the manly indepen-
dence and flrmness shown by them in their
struggle with an overwhelming public senti-
ment.


The political friends and political oppo-
nents of Mr.. Lovejoy will unite in mourning
for him as an estimabe gentleman in private
life and an honest one in public station. The
bitterness OF pariizanship is rebuked over his
grave, and his political foes have no wish to
retaliate upon his memory the nvective which
he so well knew how to employ against them.
Democrats know how to respect men like him
and Garrison and Phillips, while detesting
their fanaticism. But as to those who have
adopted their fanaticism as an engine of par
ty, and are now as clamorous in proclamation
of it and obseqnious in obedience to it as but
few years, or few months ago, they were
vehement in its condemnation, even the char
liable judgement which the grave demands
will not shield their memories from the hatred
aud contempt which should follow those who
trade in their country's blood for personal
profit.

We commend them to the thoughtful at- tention of those persons who are proposing to leave Arizona when the prospects of the country are better than ever before;

 We know of men who left here two years ago almost pennlless, who had they retained the property they then possessed would have their fortunes now in hand instead of in prospect only. We ara intimately acquainted with a gentleman WhO became disgusted here and en- deavored to sell everything he had to obtain money eno1ga % get out of the country with, and had even hired his passage to Nevada Terri tOry but was unable to consummate the trades be had begun. and was compelled to remain. This apparent Ill luck proved to be in fact the best of good luck, Tho very property, which then he could scarcely give away has now made him wealthy, even beyond his most sanguine ex- pectations.

The above telegram was received in this city
ehis morning by relative Of the deceased, which
is the first intimation we have OF the plrticipl-
tOn Of Captain Elliott in the battle Of the 22d
instant. Captain Elliott was u Phiadelphian by
birth, and at the time Of his death was in the 2sgh
year his age lie was a graduate Of the Phila-
delphia High School, and, previous to the break
ing out Of the Rebellion, was engaged as
reporter upon the Ledger, of this city, and
largely contributed 70 many Of the literary pub
liCatOns Of the day. Al one time he was part
proprietor and editor Of the Ladies' Iisit0r,
weekly sheet, which for time enjoyed quite an
extensive circulation.


When Colonel Geary's Regiment left the city,
Captain Elliott went out with il in the capacity
OF First Lieutenant, and subsequently rapidly
rose to the position of Captain and Adjutant-
General upon General Geary's statl, which post
he filled with marked ability up 10 the hour of
his death. We understand that commission
OF Major had been forwarded him only few
days since, but his sudden death has prevented
him from receiving this last honor from the Gov
eminent in whose defense he has so nobly fallen.
Captain Elliott was a young man of line social
as well as mental qualities, and his deaah will

friends.
