Milk Cows as Long as they Give Milk —I have in several instances in'* jured cows by trying to dry them two or three months before calving. Bunch es have come in their bags, and the milk became curdy and thick, apparent ly the same as in eases of garget. To save cows from being spoiled, I milk them twice a day clean and dry as long as the milk comes into their bags, even to the time of their calving. As to Mr. Kimball’s neighbor’s cow being spoiled by milking too long. I think it was because she was not milks ed enough. From my observation I think many good cows and heifers are injured and sometimes spoiled by not milking them before they calve. I have one cow now in my barn y fif teen years old this spring, that I have owned eleven years. She has never been sick a day, nor gargety except once when I tried to dry her two months belore her calving; nor does she have small calves.' I have a foursyear old cow, one of her calves, that girths over six feet, and a steer calf brought up on one-half of her milk, that will be one year old on the 28th of this month, and kept since he was weaned same as I keep the rest of my stock, that measures almost five feet. T. R. A New Industry. —The sweet potato, used in various forms as an esculent in making bread, as a substitute for coffee, in the brewing of beer, as well as for fattening farm animals, and is now be ginning to be used in making a sirup “far surpassing that of the beet, and even of the sorghum, in deticacy of flavor, while the yield is much more abundant. The average product of a bushel ot sweet potatoes —the yam riety being preferred—is alleged to be over two gallons, and as the aveiage yield per acre, on poor, sandy soil, is from 150 to 180 bushels, the product must necessarily be from 300 to 350 gallons ot sirup. This must open in the view of the piney-woods agriculturist anew and more profitable industry, one man, with a mule, being able to culti vate at least fifteen acres in potatoes. The residum, after the juice for sirup has been extracted, is pronounced a valuable edible either for man or beast,” A Plain Yankee Talk to Southern Farmers. —The other day a Northern man, in the hearing of the writer, let himself loose upon us after this sash-, ion: •“It seems to me that your people in the cotton-growing States manage somewhat strangely. Yon spend half of the spring and all summer in fighting and destroying grass, and when you have succeeded in destroying it all, you send clear away down to the State of Maine and buy dried grass at a cost of two cents per pound to subsist your stock. Now, so nearly as I can judge, your plauters do not make two cents a pound net on cotton at thirteen cents in your market; and thus a bale of Eastern hay on your plantation will about offset a bale of cotton in the pocket of the far mer “From what I know of Middle Geor gia, X should say that you can beat Maine out of sight making hay. Grass don’t take a start in Maine till from the first to the middle of June, and thus before grass begins to grow in Maine, you Georgians could scuff your barns so full of hay and clover, at a cost not ex ceeding an eighth of a cent per pound, that you might afford to ship hay to Maine, if Maii■.e would only consent to pay t! e price for it which you pay. “But if you will not raise hay, which to the extent at least of your own ne» cessities you can raise more profitably than cotton, tell me, in the name of all good sense, why you refuse to gather that grass which comes in your corn fields indigenously after the crop is laid by and which is much better for stock than the musty and falsely' packed stuff which ordinarily comes to your mar ket?” We have not yet framed our reply to that Yankee.

Borne of them are offensive, and even feared as injurous, while this has a delicious perfume, making it a most desirable Hair dressing as well as beneficial to the Hair. FADED AND GRAY" HAIR is restored to its natutal color, by daily applications for two weeks. Occasional applications af terwards, merely enough to keep the hair bright and soft, will maintain its color and freshness.— Its occasional use stimulates the glands of the scalp to a healthy activity, thereby preventing th e formation of dandruff and the foiling of the hair.

The great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Fever and Ague is, that it con tains no Quinine, or mineral, consequently it produces no Quinism or injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured of Fever and Ague by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease. AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL, For the rapid cure of Cough, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, C roup, BronchitU , Incipient , Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patience in advane ed stages of the Disease. Although this remedy has an immense usefulnes in .curing the milder forms of throat and lung diseases, its crowning excellence is only seen when it is given for the formidable and dangerous afi> sections of the lungs. In these cases take it under the advice of an intelligent physician,if you can, that every piecaution favorable to the patient may be observed. But to those consumptive patients who cannot have the advantage of medical attendance, we give the following general directions:-- Take abundant nourishing food, and healthy, but not violent, exercise. Avoid exposure to the night air and to additional colds. If troubled with tedious coughing at night, take a large dose of Cherry Pectoral on going to bed. Itwill, generally stop it, and afford sound, refreshing sleep.— Wear warm, woolen clothing,flannel shirts and drawers next the skin, with warm, and always dry, stockings. Rub the body morning and evening with a flesh brush or coarse cloth. When tho appetite and health begin to return, relax none of the treatment whieh has brought them until you are entirely well. Never attempt to force an appetite. Avoid salt meats, pastries and condiments, and take your meals at equal, regular intervals. Shun the practice of eating little and often, for in disease the stomache partakes of the debility of the body, and requires rest. Fresh meats, game poultry, and fresh fish, with plain vegetables, rice, bread, milk, and weak tea or coffee, should make up the diate of the consumptive invalid. Good porter is a spur to digestion, and rarely disagrees with the stomach. Leave the appetite to roam over the whole range of healthy food for its selection but deny the indulgence of its morbid cravings for what is injurous. Exercises should be taken daily in the open-air, as for as the strength will permit. Avoid strong currents of air and fAcing the wind, but above all; avoid getting chilled. While following carefully these directions, take the Cherry Pectoral in such doses as shall be fonnd adapted to the system, and we hope, with you, that a complete cure will be the result.
