In turning COWS to grass, the queS
ton often arises whether it is better to
keep them confined to a small inclos.
ure, until grass becomes SO large and
plenty that they can fill themselves
readily. and subsist wholly upon it,
or to give them the range ofthe whole
pasture, or large share of it, and
let them change gradually from hay
to grass as the latter slowly comes
forward. These questions annually
occur to every dairyman, and are
answered, sometimes one way and
sometimes the other. They are ques-
tions that ought TO be carefully con-
sidercd. Those who favor the prac-
tice of keeping COWS yarded and en-
tirely away from grass. ill they can
live upon it wholly. urge that the ap
petite of the COWS is so much affected
by taste of grass, tnat they viii so
far lose their relish for hay as not to
eat enough to keep up their flesh and
strength, and consequently are best off
not to taste it at all, till there is
enough for them to subsist on wholly.
This is one view of the question:
Those who prefer letting their cows
run over a wide range and nip the
gass as soon as it starts, say that it
is better for them, or any other stock,
to change from dry feed to green,
gradually and that the season for dry
food always too long, is stretched to
its utmost, by prohibiting taste of
grass till it is plenty enough to live
upon. - 4s8sa - y s.g1 -


There is some force in this reason
ing. A sudden and radical change of
food, either for man or beast, is al
ways attended with i'll consequences.
The condition of the stomach and
bowels, and the quality of the diges-
tive agents, adapt themselves to the
nature of the food. To break up at
once long established order Of things,
deranges all the operations of the
system and impairs their functions
In turning mileh COWS suddenly to
grass they are usually made sick for
several days. They become uuneryed
and weak, and their milk is often so
much affected as to work badly to the
cheese-yat. for a week or more. A
diarrhea sets in and the loss of flesh,
by securing. is often greater than that
occasioned by loss ofappetite for hay
have always found dairy COWS to do
better, the season through. to make
the change from dry food to green. a
gradual one. If there should be any
tendency to falling away from scanty
food. it is better TO keep them up by
the use of little grain. than to make
too sudden change. .-Lire Stock jour

If we knew the woe and hcartache
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For a time that neer can be;
Would we wait with such impatience
For our ships to come from sea-
If we knew the baby fingers


Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow,
Would the print of rosy fingers
VeX us then as they do now!
All, these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strcwn along our backward track
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not TO scatter thorns but roses
For our reaping by and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the swect-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the voilcts
Till the lovely flowers are gone
Strange that summer sky and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air
Lips from the seal OF silence


None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adons the month to-day;
And sweet words that fright our memory
With beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents,


Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbcams,


Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing


All the briars from our way.

WHEELING, August 22.-Owing to
| the length of the ticket, the vote of this
city will not be known definitely till
morning. The meagre facilities for Sc
curing the vote from the interior, will
require several days before the definite
vote is known in this county. From the
returns, as far as heard from, the indie
pendent county ticket win carry over
the regular Democratic ticket by a con-
siderable majority. The returns from a
portion of Lewis, Preston and Hancock
counties, give heavy majOrities against
the constitution and in favor of the in
dependent candidates for Governor and
Congressman. The returns, so far as re-
ceived, place this county on the same
footing.


The vote in this city to-day was the
largest ever cast. The ticket is very
long, and scratching and cross-firing
has been Unprecedented and cannot be
counted so as to be announced tonight.
The vote was on the new constitution,
for Congressman, State officers and
county officers. There We're no Repub-
lican candidates in the field except for
county offices. The vote as far as
counted up to this hour mid
night indicates large opposition
gains, and that the county has voted by
two or three hundred majority for the
rejection of the constitutional amend
ment, and for Jacob for Governor.


Brown Republican, is probably
elected Sheriff by three or four hundred
majority. This is probably the most
lucrative office in the State, and there
was a great fight for it.


The news from other points is meager,
but of similar character. Hancock
county promises double its usual Repub-
lican majority.
