"’'' ' ■*' ftgnculture. i 1 rum tuc American Parmer. On the manat’ men/ nf milh Cmcs if rerrin.tr Co Ires, Carrington, April 1 17Ih , 1825. Having; read a good deal concerning line cattle, Short Horns, Alderney s, Hereford* shires, &,c. and little wrote or published on the subject of making and managing them, 1 have given yon my plan, and should any of your readers put me in a better way, shall be much indebted to them. A cow, before calving, should be tolerable beef. I never had a cow (hat was lean and weak at the time of her calving, that ever milked more than half as well as she did when she was fat and of course strong. A good cow should give at least 9 to 12 quarts of milk at a mess, and it is impossible lo get a pour cow strong, while giving the above quantity of milk ; this shows the necessity ol having cows in proper order before they calve, and lays the foundation fur raising line calves. To have cows in proper order, costs no more in the end than poor keeping, and « cow that ilont pay for proper keeping should not be kept for milking, i give my milk co .s, in Hie fall, chopped pumpkins and a quart of corn meal twice a day ; when the pumpkins are all eat, a bushel of clover hay, cut and scalded or steamed in a hogs head and a quart of meal twice a day, with good hay and corn-fodder three times a day, and the fresh calved cows double that quan tity of corn meal, with warm clean stables. 1 keep my cows milking all winter, and un till two oi three weeks of their calving, con tinuing to feed them until they calve; the h uter and miik amply pays the expense and trouble, and my cows in April look like stall led I I tried a cow that made mo 10 lbs. of butter per week, from the 20th of Mav to the end of July, (she was milked three times a day,) was tat when she calved in 1822. I then lived in town, and had no other cow. Next year she was only in mid dling order when she calved, and after calv ing had as good keeping as she had in 1822, but could not get more than 7 Ihs. per week. 1 (nought she was passing her prime—in 1824, had her fat again when she calved, and she made as much butter as in 1822. 1 think this clearly proves the propriety of what is above stated. To raise calves—the great point is to keep tie m from purging, or being 100 loose alter weaning.— I'hey are very subject to this ; owing, 1 believe, from giving them too much in drink at a time ol skini milk, just wanned ; it is difficult to stop it,, before they are old enough lo eat oats, and always stunts the calf. My method to feed a call and raise it, is, to let it suck the cow for a week, milking the cow before the calf sucks, so that it may get the best milk ; when wean ed, I boil the milk & let it stand to cool, be fore giving it—simply making the milk warm is nor near so good, and brings on a loose ness ; alter a week, I tie up a bunch of the sweetest hay and hang it so as to swing about when the calf touches it—this will induce it to smell and play with it, and it soon begins eating it ; give it ground oats and corn meal in a trough or tub, it will soon lick and eat it. The milk should be given three times n day, the hay once, and mea 1 once; two quarts nf milk is suliici eni lor a meal three times a day, more at once Icings on the skit ot looseness, which is the worst thing that can happen to a young calf; the quantity to be increased after a month old.— she first winter, the call should be kept on the best hav, with potatoes, turnips, mangel wurt/.el, or some juicy esculent, in quantities sufficient to keep it- skin loose am! give it an appetite (or the hay—it should he kept dry and clean, but not wanu, the. lattei filling’ them with lice, which is very injurious to them—an open shell is best for them, kept well litter ed. The second winter, they may run in a yard, and be fed with coarse hay. t’ulves should be kept separate, otlicr wi- ■ they suck each other’s ears, and teazat one. another when they should lav quiet and sleep. THOMAS MASSEY. Domestic Carpeting— \ f ew weeks since 1 we noticed n, our paper, a very superior piece ot Domestic Carpeting, manufacturedi under the direction of Mr. Tod.

Thirty years ago, and the hill tops of 1 Nashville could boast of little else than , rocks and evergreens. Its gentle elevation jabove the surrounding country, and the commercial facilities afforded by its posi , lion on the banks of a navigable stream, . early indicated it, to the forecast of our first settlers, as an eligible scite lot a town. , Since that period.it has advanced with a , progress so steady, an improvement so sub . stantral, as almost to justify the prediction, , that it will become, at no very distant day, the most considerable town in the Western Country. j Although an inland town, the invention of steam-boats lias placed within its reach , all the commercial facilities of a sea port. Its western side is washed by a river, which I is navigable for steam boats six months in j- the year ; these six months embrace that r iperiod of the year in widcb all the produce e jgrown in the country, is ready for exporta tion; so that to all the practical purposes _! ol commerce, it is just as beneficial to us, as if it were navigable at all times. It is supported by a back country, which taken in the compound ratio of fertility and extent, is.unSurpassed by any equal portion ot territory in the United States. This body of land is comprised within the lim its of Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Maury, anctGiles counties. The obstruc tion to the navigation of the streams tribu tary to the' Cumberland, which intersect those counties, will ever prevent them from being relied chi by the farmers as outlets lor their produce. To Nashville then, all 1 their surplus productions, for the purpose of exportation to a distant market, must *’ necessarily converge. The crowded and continued sutcession of wagons, which, du ring the winter and spring months, literal ly plough their way through file mire and mud of a Tennessee road. —the rapid in crease of warehouses, almost surcharged at the proper season, with cotton and tobacco ■ the augmented and continually augment ing number of steamboats which ply be tween Nashville and N. Orleans, perform ing three or four trips a season, and an -1 charing at the wharf with a -return cargo in fifteen or twenty days from the time of, departure, at once indicate the fertility of ’ our soil, the industry of our farmers,” and * the enterprise of our merchants. 1 Cotton is the most important, and the most variously used, of all the raw mate rials, which by the labour and ingenuity of man, are made to assume a manufactured state. The demand for it will be coexten ’ sive with the necessities and luxuries of man : and it will constitute the staple of ’ every country where it can be periodically grown. The section of country just de signated is highly propitious to its growth and cullure; and the late increase in its value has given such an addititional im pulse to agricultural enterprise, that this year the average amount of exportation will probably be doubled. Tobacco, likewise, will ever command a profitable price. ’ These articles raised in great abundance, as they will be, must of necessity be brought to Nashville, where they will be shipped to New-Orleans, and sold for specie, or bar tered for groceries. These causes, concurring with her litera ry institutions, will continue to make Nash ville flourish and increase in growth and prosperity until her beautiful hills shall be peculiarly the seat of a ealth, science, lite . ratui e, and the graces. Lecture by Dr. Armstrong. 1 Whenever you prescribe calomel for children, you should ue very careful not to continue it too long, particularly when the • skin is cool. Some time ago, i saw ave , ry fine boy lost by his having been direct ed to continue two or three grains of calo mel every night, after his skin became cold ; inflamation of the mucous membrane of (he throat and larynx took place, accompanied by ulceration in both these places. Calomel lias, of late years, become the nostrum of the nursery ; mothers and nur ses are continually giving it; and I am cer s tain that crowds of children are made mass es of scrofula by the misapplication of that medicine, so that they tall easy victims to . acute affections which may supervene. Women are very much like-children in their habits, and therefore bets e’ry careful how you prescribe calomel for them also, when the skin is cool. The effects of ca lomel are modified by the state of the body, at the time of its administration ; and you must recollect that if for any inflamation you shall have employed bloodletting, and the skin has become cold, then you must be on your guard about the quantity, as in or- ( dinary cases. In fact, it is only when the . i skin continues hot and dry that you can < give calomel with safety in delicate sub jects; watch the different circumstances under which you prescribe the same medi cine, and you will eventually acquire a great precision in its applicatipn, so as not | only to do good but avoid mischief. 1 c Zb VLAVars \ievfard.
