Agricultural Department.
I« Machinery Profitable.
The grand display of agricultural
machinery at the New York State fair
at Rochester, in September last, not
only attracterl much favorable notice
from farmers, but also some adverse
criticism from other persons with little
experience in the uso of machinery.—
The cpicstion often arises, “is it profi
table to use machines in place of hand
labor nndor all circumstances?” To
this might bo replied, very decidedly,
that it is not. There arc some coses
where hand labor is more profitable; for
instance, a farmer who has nothing to
employ his time during the winter, may
better use tho flail to thresh his grain,
than to hire or own a threshing machine
to do tho work. Although in this case
the threshing, might cost five times ns
much in labor and time, yet hero time
is not money, or at least it may appear
that tho old adugo is at fault for once.
But boneath this circumstance even,
thoro lies a mistuko. This is, that no
fanner should find his timo so value
less, that ho can afford to spend it in
earning 60 cents or less a day, (which
is what it costs to thresh 10 bushels of
grain with a machine,) and it is a mis
take to maungo his business so that he
has nothing else to occupy his time.—
This is tho principle that should lie at
tho bottom of this question of tho val
ue of machinery. Kvory man should
so arrange his business that “timo is
monoy” to him, and if ho can suvo timo
by using a machine of any kind, thon
he saves money, and its use is profitable.
Sympathy for the Erring.
Of how much of our indignation
against even a deliberate wrong would
we be disarmed, if wc could but know
for ofirselvcs a tithe of all the sorrow,
and trouble, and disappointment, the
poor erring heart has passed through l
What efforts were made in youth to
stand up against the pressure of the
world, and how, when fallen, from
miscalculation, or an over confiding
nature or want of tact, it bravely rose
ip and tried again; and when hard ne
cessity come and drove it to the wall,
how it looked around for help, and
waited, still striving to stand upright,
und fell while striving; and even when
fallen, how it yearned for one more
chance to rise and be a man, how loth
at last to give up all for lost!—colud
we but see a thousandth part of these
struggles, as they rend our brother’s
bosom and almost break his heart, how
should it disarm us of our vindictive
ness, and incline us even to run to him,
and raise him up, and stand by him,
and, with godlike forgiveness, bid him,
in tones of encouragement, “Try, try
AGAIN.”
The peach crop of Georgia, says the
Griffin Sun, could bo made to pay more
clear monoy thon tho cotton crop, while
thousands upon thousands of dollars
could bo realised from pears, apples and
other fruit. If somo entorpirsing man
would tako hold of tho canning business
a fortune could bo realized. Hitherto
our people hover sold fruit, but allowed
it to wasto or rot, but wo are glad to
note that a disposition to make it prof
itable is gradually being shown in ma
ny sections. Many of onr town people
and sovoral of our country friends, have
already shipped scoros of orates of ponch
os and pears, and the business is going
on daily. It costs but little troublo or
cash to gather.a orate and ship it, and
as middle Georgia fruit is tho best on
the continent, it always finds a ready
market at remunerative prices. South
ern fruit gets into market a month
earlier than from other sections, which
givos us a decided udvantag'), and some
of tho first shipments brought as high
as thirty-six dollors per bushel. No
whore doos fruit grow to greator porfoc-
tioutlian in tho God-favored Soufclty
and with tho proper management it
could bo made a perfect bonanza. But
wo could make it more profitable by
canning and drying, as in tho latter
state it generally commands as muoh
per pound as cotton, and it furnishes
employment to womon and children
who can earn fine wages at tho busi
ness. Whon will our people loom souse
und find out what their true interests are,
Feeding for Milk, —“Litchflold.”
The moat economical food for milk
cows is a mixture of hay, meal, and
bmn; and tho most economical way of
feeding thoso is to cut tho hay, mois
ten it, and sprinkle tho meal and bmn
over it. This givos somo troublo, but
it pays. From our own pvaotice, wo bo
liovo 26 per cont of tho food is suYod.
Ono bushol-baskot of cut hay, and 2
quarts of corn meal und bran, mixed
in equal portons, is a foed for a cow in
good milk. To somo cows more of the
meal and bran may be givon profitably;
this must bo found by tosting the differ
ent cows. Tho above feed is for halt
a day—that is, is given twice in the day,
making 6 duarts of tho^meal and brau
daily. In addition to the above feed a
few* pounds of dry hay, or some roots,
may bo given at noon.

AN INLAND WATERSPOUT.
Persons who chanced to be in the
open air yesterday about 12 o’clock and
were looking toward the west bad their
attenaion attracted to a very poculiar
phenomenon in tho clouds, or ratlior
betwoon tho clouds and tho earth, in
the direction and apparently in tho vi-
oinity of Morrison, ten miles southwqst
of this place. To an observer a portion
of the clouds seemed to become almost
solid, and hung down like a great pouch
or bag. What they saw was a water
spout. The spout came to a point ap
parently twelve or fifteen feet above the
earth, and it swayed about like an im
mense pondulum dangling in tho uir.
[t was visible for about ten minutes
and gradually disappeared, apparently
being sucked up into tho clouds. Tho
greatest damage 6eems to have fallen
upon tho vicinity of Littleton, where
about fivo miles square of country was
devastated. Ilail in largo quantities
fell also. Fences wore blown over and
tho country flooded. A large! area of
winter wheat was destroyed. The
track of tho Platto Canon branch of the
Denver and South -Park Railroad was
inundated in places. The bridge ovor
Dutch Crock was either partially or en
tirely carried away, so much at any rate
that the train from below wqs unable
to reach Denver, and no mails were re
ceived from off the line last night.—

Mr, Tildkn Reported to Have
Written a Letter.—It is reported in
political circles in New York that ex
Governor Tilden bos written, or is about
to write a luttcr with reference to the
Potter investigation. Persons connected
with the Manhattan Club maintain that,
there is such a lettor in existence, that
it will soon bo givon to tho public, and
that it is in answor to an inquiry from
a friond as to what. Mr. Tilden thought
of tho revelations that thus fur had
come out. It is even announced that
tho lotter is “of a kind to create a son
ration. ”
Popularity of the Ayrshires—As
n sign of tho returning popularity of the
valuable Ayrshire cattlo might bo cited
tho fact that at tho fair of tho Now
York State Agricultural Socioty, tho
Ayrshires outnumbered the heretofore
preponderating Jersoys. The Ayrshire,
as a buttor-making breed, is hardly a
rival of tho Jorseys; thoso two should be
companions, and not rivals, for each
ono 1ms invaluable points. A fact of
curious significance also, at this fair,
was Urn absence of sovoral of tho old
successful show-herds, and tho entry of
now exhibitors, who carried off thoLon-
ors. It is furthor worthy of remark
that, with all our success in breeding
excellent animals, our prise-takers are
too frequently imported. Would it
not bo well to keep prizes* only forna-
tivo bred animac?
Tho Chicago Tribune waxes wroth and
now calls Anderson the “champion liar
and purjurer.” It is needless to remark
that it did-not so characterize him when’
ho was, at tho eumest solicitation of
John Shormnn, making fulso statements
regarding the fairness of tho election in
Felioiana parish. He was then only
known as a prominent Radical leader.
The public, howevor, understand both
terms to express tho same idea.

Local 1ST ©-ws
1. It contains all the news of the past
seven days, collected by the agents and cor
respondents of the New York Daily World,
and in fulness, accuracy and enterprise in this
respect is.unequalled.
2. Its agricultural department contains
the Intest news of the farm experiments at
home and abroad, contributions by home and
foreign writers, full reports of the Farmers’
Club of the American Institute, and quota
tions of valuable and interesting articles ap
pearing in the agricultural weeklies and mag
azines.
3. Its orange news, to which attention is
specially called, is a feature which can he
found in no other paper. All the resources at
tho command of a great metropolitan daily
newspaper arc employedin its collection. In
addition to this weekly record, The World
gives the cream of all the local Grange papers
in every State. This department is, and will
continue to be, under tho charge of one of the
active members of the Order.
4. For the fireside department, in addi
tion to its other attractions, such us poetry,
miscellany, humorous extracts, etc., during
the coming year, there will be not less than
one hundred short talcs by the best writers of
Action in England and America.
5. The market reports, brought down to
the hour of publication, are the best that can
be mndc. Each market is reported by one
whose special knowledge and training make
him the best authority upon that subject in
the United States. For accuracy and com
pleteness the Market reports in The World
are unrivalled.
During 1878 the WEEKi.y World will con
tain a number of interesting first-class stories
from the pens of the best writers of fiction.
Two of this series, “Bagrianovka” and “Ki-
nna,” have been published, attracting well-mer
ited attention. We have been unable to sup
ply back numbers to all who have applied for
them. The Haunted Hotel, by Wilkie Col
lins, the greatest living novelist, commenced
May 22d, and will ho continued through
twelve or fifteen numbers of the Weekly
World, and will appear iu no other American
publication. In the publication of these sto
ries we will give each weekns large an instal
ment as the space at our disposal will permit.
We shall not do our readers the injustice of
“spinning out” a story through ns many num
bers as possible, but will rather try to give them
as many good stories during t he course of the
year as we shall be able to print.
