9* .±»iUmm - 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. T P. SARCIIETT.

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.— Denver {Col.) Tribune, June 5. TIE DUBLIN POST. Tho London World of May 29 tolls an amusing^ story of a coaching accident which once happennd to the late dowa ger Lady Shelley (not of tho poot’i branch! who died inl873, ancl whoso gar don pities at Fulham woro so long charming feature in London socioty Her coach being one day upset, her ladyship and hor maid wore thrown into a hoap inside, from tho midst of which after a little her ladyship’s voice was heard calling to her footman: “James! James! pull me out! the black logs are mino!” 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. as Children need sunshiue quite muoli as flowers do. Half an hour dai ly is not enough. Several hours are re quired.
