There in quite a diversity of opiaion in regard to the best time to have cow* drop their calves so as to return the greatest measure of profit, end it depends very much on the persons themselves whether spring, summer, fall or winter be the lw*t time, snd on the ages of the aaiaala, the way they are fed, and the food given. Experience in this matter has demonstrated to is that the best time to have a young heifer drop her first calf is late in the spring, so she can have the benefit of plenty of sweet, nutritious grass after her calf has been taken sway, to steadily and naturally in crease her flow of milk, and thereby lay the foundation of a good milker. If she comes in profit in the winter, when she has to subsist for the most part on dry feed, as do many hundreds of our farmers’ cows, she will not improve as she should and would ou grass. As it is the most critical period in the life of a good dairy cow, when she drops her first calf, if it be desired to have n really first clars animal, wj think there should be no auestion about which is the best time for her to calve, for it is when she can get plenty of natural, jucy food. We like to have our heifers from twenty-four to thirty months old when they drop their first calves, for much earlier than this is apt to dwarf them in statue ns well as in other desirable qual ities, while, if left longer than that the owner loses much time that is unnec essary. We speak from experience, though there ruay ire many who may, snd no doubt do, differ with us on this as well as many more subjects. In regard to mature cows, those which have had their second or third calf, the time of year for having them drop their calves is not ao important a point as it undoubtedly is with young and immature dairy stock, for it is reasonable to suppose that those first mentioned have become established and are net so apt to be injured,'though we shall always advocate good feeding, liberal in quantity, and ol the best ana most desirable quality. In either a milk or a butter dairy, the products of that dairy oommand higher prices during the winter than during the warm summer months; and they should do sc, for the cost of producing this butter and milk, consequent on the increased labor and expense in feeding, is much more in winter than in summer when they have the benefit of plenty of good pasture. If there is plenty of good feed on hand, and you expect to give plenty of it, to Ifo seconded by fhe best care and manage ment, then we say it will j>ay to have your mature animals drop their calves during winter. By the time they have decreased considerably in their flow of milk, great comes in to heighten the flow and keep it up till they are nearly ready to so dry. Uiftil we know ttf a better plan we shall continue to practice the nbove as near as circumstances will permit us to do so, for we have had good evidence that it is a good plan. If there be a better one we are atixious to know what is is, from those who have tried it long enough < to be assured of its desirability over the one mentioned above..— Ohio Farmer. r* Worth Rrmrmbn Inn. Carrots for horses, experiments have shown, are moat beneficial when fed iq conjunction with oata. Alone, they are leea nutritioua than oats alone, but when fed topether in the pro]H>rtion of, say two quart* of oats an 1 two ol sliced car rota to a mesa, the result will be more satisfactory than If either were Ted sepa rately. Anew enemy to grain has lately been discovered in a cago of barley di-charged at Amsterdam. It is a small, microscopic m *(sKst. of ao unknown specie*, and besides the injury it inflicted on the grain, its presence there produced serious illness and a peculiar eruption of all who came in contact anywhere with thecarge. To facilitate the parturition of cows the administration of a few handfuls*ot linreed with their drink for three or four weeks before their calving, ia strongly recommended by a writer in the Aom?- icirM, a German agricultural paper. In over thirty years’ practice he tia* always found it to act beneficially, and, more over, it increases the secretion of milk decreases inflammation sml constipation and forms a certain remedy in retention of after-birth. To drain a depression in a field, where a clayey or hard-pan subsoil prevents the sinking of rainwater, and the lay of the land is unfavorable lor ordinary methods of drainage, first dig a hole as if for a well through the impervious stratum at the bottom of the hollow, fill it up to the brim with refuse stones, remove the excavated earth so as to allow the surface water free access to the pit, and standing water will never iujure the grass or graiu crop in that part of the field. Detective seed corn is a great aggrava tion to the farmer in the spring, it causes delay in replanting, or occasions serious loss in the crop if replanting is onatted. This is the time to avoid the difficulty by storing up a full supply of sound need. Select perfect, well-formed cars, and store them safely in adrv place, and the trouble alluded to will be obvi ated. Dahlia roots should be stored in a cel lar free from frost or dmnp, but not so warm as to shrivel them up. Where potatoes keep well, they will be sate from JP.’try- They should not, however, be lifted from the ground until their branches are blackened by the frost, and a dpr day should be selected for this work. Dig them early in the forenoen, let them ary a few hours in the sun and pack them in boxes. If covered with dry sand they will keep perfectly. A Connecticut river farmer plowed under a rank growth of clover, and then planted winter wheat which harvested twenty-seven and a half bushels to the ■ere. A neighbor, whose land adjoined the above plat, planted the same kind of seed, but without fertilizing with clover, and obtained a fair crop of wheat straw that contained no grain. ■llktaf Mot* fjr i* . Ualr.r. In one of the discussions held during tbe evenings of the New York state fair which, by the way, are one of the most valuable features of the lair, some in terestiog and uaeiul experience was brought out. Prof. L. B Arnold, well known as an intelligent writer on dairv subjects, said: Two points are of prime importance at the outset, the securing of proper milk ing stock (having tbe“ highest possible capacity for converting food into milk, and the furnishing of an ample supply of b*at food. We are slow to change old practices in either respect, and there is a vast low every year Inra our indi - Terence. In regard to feeding, very few people appreciate how small a proportion of the frssl is converted into milk, and bow large a proportion goes to the sup port of the cow. During the season of Isolation alone, it Ukeatour fifths ef the food to run the machine I Now cannot we use less in this way, or else give more food to the same animal in exoaas of wbat she nerds for her support, and have it turned into milk ? We do not oidi narily give onr cows a'l the food they can digest. Almost every year there u a dry time in Jnly, and gram is scarce. Then the cow’s machinery uses up at least seven-eights of the food foi its own support, and the profits are almost an nihilated. This is all wrong; cows should never at any time lack a full supply of food and water. We must also remember that the habit of milk-giving is diminished and permanently injured when a cow is starved, besides 'diminish ing naturally as the time of calving be comes less distant. The quality of the feed also makes an important difference. One kind will not take the place of another. If you give the cow three times as much of the albu minoids as she needs, and only half the quantity of the supporters of respiration, there will be a waste ol the former. To be -ure, the first may be converted into the second to a certain extent, but the reversed process wifi not occur. A proper proportion should be maintained. ! f> ten it is overlooked that food should be easy of digestion. Give a cow all the i straw she can consume, and she cannot digest enough to keep herself up and give milk. If she does give milk, she will ; use herself up and become poor. “AH the good hay a cow can eat ” in the spring will not do; she cannot digest enough of it. It is like wintering pigs on raw potatoes; they can just barely keep alive, which is not what we want. Boil them and the pigs grow fat. The food of a milch cow should be young and tender, or else so cooked as readily to de compose. Grass is most excellent, being quickly digested, and in fact needing very little alteration to convert it into milk, which it very closely re-enables in composition, chang ing the fibrous matter to water. (Steamed hay approximates quite nearly to grass, hut is harder to digest, especi ally if cut too ripe. For milk produc tion, the earlier it is cut the better, but very early cutting may not always pay quite the best. Perhaps |the best rule for ordinary practice is to cut just as it is heading or approaching blossom— would not let it head, anyhow. The F|s>akcr hsa a high idea of fodder corn fe<l green, in a dry time, if properly grown and properly fed. Cured in winter, it is also most excellent, fed dry —has never steamed it. It aheuld be cut when just tasseling out Green-cut clover is better than late-cut timothy, but green-cut timothy is best of all three. Would not Hteam any cut at the proper time— it does not pay; it digests well enough without. There is great lorn in jceding meal. In regard to the kind of feed, German or golden millet is des timyl to come intq general use. The seed may also be matured for fowl* (for which purposes it is excellent), or for horses, cattle or pigs, if the millet is not wanted for soiling. It is better than corn fodder, and more of it grows on an j acre. The drink of a dairy cow is also very important. Good milk' is 87 per cent, water, and some milk 99. Ho the water must ho pure and abundant if we would make any sort of milk. A Brvl.al lu Farming. That a revival is going on in all that relates to agricultural interests is plain enough to the most ordinary comprehen sion. The success of the farming occu pation, but especially ita reliance for a man, is on almost all tongues. The great crop of the present year have came for ward to prove the valueof this occupation as it never lias before been demonstrated in this country. Men are at leased con vinced that agriculture is at the bottom of bur national prosperity. They com prehend in an entirely new way how branches of business depend on it. But lor this year’s crops, we might still have wasted, as we have been waiting for the last four years, for a start in trade and manufactures. Any person can now see that it would have hjen impos-ible to do anything whatever if farming had not put its long and powerful lever under and pried the country out of the rut in which it was set. — Mate. Ploughman. Wheel. and Clover. At tbs state fair recently held in Ro chester, N. Y., very instructive discus sions took plsea by farmers in the even ing ol each day of the exhibition. One of these is thus reported : We can afford more sheep than we keep also, ami we can afford to keep them better than we do. Now a sheep carries away with him about six to ten per cent of the nitrogen of tire food he eats, and we must get such animals as will pay for extra feed—bran, oilcake, etc., greatly enriching the manure, so as to make up in this way to the land, ami more than make up, the loss of the nitrogen carried off in eating ordinary feed. Thus we can make the land richer by feeding the clover to sheep than bv plowing it under. Wc can buy sheen at buffalo at four or five cento a pound in the autumn, feed through winter, and sell them at leven or eight cento in the spring. Thera is, however, and increasing difficulty in ob taining the right kind of sheep, and eventually we shall probably be com pelled to raise them for ourselves, but if we do, let them be bettor than we can buy. At present, a three year wether weighing about ninety pounds costs four dollars. The speaker admires uure bred animals, but he also admires good, useful crosses, not Cotswolds on iStuthdowns. For the common farmers of New York, he would recommend a cross of pure Cotswold rams on ewes of Merino blood such a cros as he shows at the lair. Mr. Harris here gnve a description of these sheep, and added that wa can raise the tiest sheep in the world right here, and may even come to export mutton in large quantities, which will be vastly ; more profitable, if properly managed, j than sending away our corn and meal. I In a lecture on"“ War;” John Ruskin declared that the existence of wars in j the civilized state was wholly the fault of women. “ I must tell you women | this,” said he, “if the usual course of war, instead of unroofing peasants* houses and ravaging peasants’ fields, merely broke china upon your own drawing room Übles, no war in civilized countries would last a week. Mr. Bieaer. of Tompkins, thought that on clay soils—not on sand—plowing under green clover is highly advan tageous- quite as good a way to keep up the fertility as to use anting] manure. He has got good crops for thirty-six years from very poor land without manure, by p! wing under clover once in three years; tue rotation is oats, clover, wheat, and the la-t crop yields 18 to 22 bushels per *'■re this year. Of oats he gets S5 to 55 bushel*. When a clergyman r. unite! there would be a nave in the new church tue aociety was building, an old lady whis pered that he “ knew the party to whom ne referred.” The Wary ef a Siege. One of the most remarkable episodes of lbs present war—which, however, has not aa yet received all the attention it deserves—is the defence of the Fort of Beyaxid in Armenia by a Russian gar rison, 8,000 strong, against a Turkish army numbering 20,000 men. The Mos cow Gaaette gives the following interest ing extracts from the private journal of one of the officers of the garrison: “June 10.—The enemy has blockaded us on all sides, and intercepted the aque duct*. Our cistern aad a few bags of biscuits is all we lire on. At night, by the light of the horning town beneath us, we saw the atrocities perpretnted by the Kurds on the helpless inhabitants. It was horrible beyond description. Wo men and children were tbrnst alive into the flame* and carried about the streets on labces, horribly mutilated and shriek ing, with anguish. The sight was so sick ening that one of onr officers was quite overcome by it and bad an attack of brain lever that night. June 18.—General aamlto of the Turkish forces, which we succeeded in repulsing towards nightfall. Our rations have been reduced to half a pound of biscuit and one glass of water per diem. June 20.—A parliamentary came with a summons for us to surrender. Our commander answered that, being so much stronger, the Turks could well try and take the citadel by storm. * * * June 26.—Our ration bas been further diminished to a quarter of a pound of biscuit and two spoonfuls of stagnant, rotten water. We suffer terribly from hunger and thirst. After a day’s hard fighting I am utterly prostrate and scaroely able to write these few words. Jnne 28.—For two days and two nights we have been exposed to a terrible can nonade. On the 29th a general assault, which we repulsed, followed by repeated injunctions to surrender, to which our answer was the same as before. July 1. —Our ration to-day is ene-eighth pound biscuit and one spoonful of water. Star vation is approaching rapidly. I have seen some of our men cut slices of flesh rrom the half-pu trifled carcass of a horse and eat them. July 4. —Again a sum mons to surrender, this time written in Russian by a Pole in the Turkish service, Col. Komaroff. Of course our answer remained unaltered. July 7.—We have repulsed one more assault. It is the last one. We can not hold out much longer. Mines are laid out to blow up the citadel and the garrison. It is better so than to starve. July 10.-‘-The cannon! Never haß any music sounded so sweet to our ears. It is Gen. Tergukasaoff, who comes to save us I am so weak that I feel utterly unable to write or move a finger. But we are saved.” After the siege had been raised there remained of the garrison about 2,000 men, vho were mostly so utterly worn out that they had to be carried out of the citadel. The name of the gallant commander [of this equally gallant garrison is Capt. Htockvitch. Ten Broerk and Parole. For forty years past there has been nearly every year some great contest be tween the east and west or the north and south, and in every notable case that I remember the western and siuthera horses have had to go from home, not to neutral greund but to the very camps of their enemies, and the long journey was nearly always a fatal handicap. These contests in nearly every instanoe have been between horses owned in Kentucky and “Kentucky horses bred for Bale,” or, what is nearly the same thing, of pure Kentucky blood. These races, to my mind, only show one thing, and that is that a horse .that has traveled a thousand miles to anew country is in no condition to run against one that has been there a year or more ao l got thoroughly acclimated. Your correspondent will doubtless say that Baltimore was neutral ground, and Ten Broeck and Parole and Ochiltree met there on equal terms. Such is plainly not the case, however, as from Lexington to Baltimore la about three times as far as from New York to the same place, and it takes quite four times as long to make the journey. Add this to the fact tiiat Ten Broeck was in the stud all the sumiitor and ouly hastily put into train ing for the fall racing, and any one whose cars are not so long that tacts as sume a different shape before they reach the head will admit that Parole’s superi ority over Ten Broeck lias by no means been established. Nor has he yet shown himself a better horse than Tom Ochil tree, who appears to have been too much out of condition to stand the pace at whirh the recent race was run. —A Ken tuckian in the iV. Y. !l 'orld. Land that has been flooded by the aea is generally barren for years afterward. According to a German ritemist the cause of this barrenness is the presence ot an excess of chlorine salts ; such land has a tendency to remain damn, and there is a formation of feirous sulphate, which is highly injurious to plants. The land should be drained as quickly as possible, sown with grass or clover, and allowed to rest. Wouder I pun Woader.
