"FARM AOT) -f- HOUSEHOLD tilt Farm. lYUinY.farr>H‘i*st-co«siiii‘r \yjjth inifii- ciciit carp the losses which npcrue frojn .1 ill 1 keeping of poor stock.— This, applies to all the varieties of domestical animals, hut especially to cows. A cow is the most costly animal tokeep.of all the farm stock. • E kept because of the valuable 11 producttof milk and blitter. But " one that produces half a pound pf butter a day will cost as much as one that produces three times as , much. The better eow may cost a little more originally, hut its pro- • geny will cost no more to rear than that of the poorer one, and the feed and cai'e will be the same for both. The difference may seem . small when the daily quantity is • considered, hut the yearly differ- Vence is very large, amounting to . between one hundred and three hundred and fifty pounds, for the .better cow ; will not only yield more ' but.will produce it longer. A cow fjiat yields only one hundred pounds of butter, worth twenty dol lars in a year, is kept at loss of at least ten dollars, while one that yields two hundred and fifty pounds •pays a profit of twenty dollars, and one that produces three hundred pounds pays thirty dollars over and above the cost of keeping. The difference in a heard ofv20' cows is an income of $41)0 a year is to one of .$1,200. It is sufficiently large to make all the difference to 1 tire farmer’s family between pov erty and wealth. And yet there are thousands of farmers who have been content to ramain in this con- • ilitipn of poverty because of their unprofitable stock,-year after year, without making an effort to relieve themselves from it. The way out Of it-is not difficult, and if a start is once made the rest is easy. All that is then is required is time, and • to let the thing run itself along.— . This is to select the best one has, if no better can he procured, and to breed the cows to a better bull, choosing one from a more produc tive a pure breed animal of almost any kind will make a good start in the way of improvement, and when this is oiiee undertaken progress is made continually. sounds were more audible. A playful remark that i;> should ‘•strike her” caused a sensation like a slight snook felt by eliss Wimber ly about the face. The sound was then caused to-manifest itself where commanded about the bed, and the bed finally commanded to move and to the inteiise wonder of the occupants, rolled briskly across the room. This phenomenal circum stance, it is claimed, led to subse quent experiments. We were told by witnesses that oh a particular occasion recently while the young lady was laying with her form on’the bed, she thought of some favorite, air when its musicjemanat- ed strangely from the head-board of the lied, and was heard by more than a half dozen persons sitting about, the room. On another occasion, an uncle, a man above the ordinary weght, sat in a chair, his feet on the rounds, while the young lady placed a hand with an under grip on the upper hack of the chair and lifted him a distance across the floor. Other feats of the young lady as strange almost as those related, might be mentioned, but the above are enough to complete a story of her wonderful powers. The writer, in relating these, does not do so to merely make a sensational article for these columns—but with a view to gathering from dame Rumor's float ings, to place before our readers, the facts as they exist. We have given an account of our observations. We have given an account alsojof the ob servations and experience of othcs, relatives of the young lady, and peo ple of the neighborhood, possessed of intelligence and a skepticism regarding the unreasonable to a degree rightfully exempting them from the imputation, even, that might lie contained in the asserted fact that people sometimes deceive themselves.

By What Power? unusual sensation has beeu created in the Collardtown neigh borhood in this county, by the feats inexplicable of a young daughter of Hr. Wm. K. Hurst. Rumors being afloat of her performances, in company with Dr. M. F. Liddell, we visited her home on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of giving the readers of tire Adver tiser some account of what our investigations of the matter might develop. In a large square two-story house built after the ante-bellum South ern idea of comfort, set well back in a.grove of oaks running up to the big, road, dwells Mr. Hurst. We wdi‘e 'kindly received and made known our mission, and soon were gratified by the appearance of the young lady. Miss Lula is between fifteen and sixteen years of age, the picture of health and physical strength, and in every movement shows a dash of nature unusual. Upon a request to manifest some of her newly developed powers, she arose - anil'placed her two hands on the back of a common chair. In a few minutes the eliair began to move first slowly then gradually more Violently. Tlie doctor was requested to hokl the chair. In attempting to do so he found the task entirely too great, and was. -joined by the writer, but the chair, nevertheless s.till moved, when Mr. Hurst reinforced us, to apparently no better effect. In fact, with all force at our command used on the object the three . found it impossible to of every ifityk restless chair, and ' ’\e task at last were ,,jy the efforts. There . „ of Great Men. It is often said of this or that man that he is a self man—that he was born of the poorest and humblest parents, and that with everyobsta cle to overcome he became great. This is a mistake. Poverty is gen erally an advantage. Most of the intellectual giants of the world i have been nursed at the sad but : loving breast of poverty. Most of j those who have climbed highest on j shining ladder of fame commenced ; at the lowest round. They were 1 reared in the straw-thatched cot tages of Europe; in the log houses of America; in the factories of the geat cities; in the midst of toil; in the smoke and din of labor and the verge of want. They were rocked by mothers whose hands af the same time were busy with the needle or the wheel. CONNECTIONS. At Anniston with the E. T..
