GRINDIDI FEEDi.-Experimental farmers have long urged that importance, and even necessity, of chopping or grinding hay, as well as other food, for cattle and horses. The lazy drone. have had a hearty laugh over the idea, and called it "Book Farming." Now the theory of c 'ppng and grinding food is based on a princi~l which lies at the foundation of animal phsoogy. Rest is essen tial to the accumulation of muscle, as well as * fat. If we wish to increase an animal in flesh or fat, we do not work him. Now a cow wants one-thirtieth of her own w e' ply a y okephrin odor e equired to musticate the food, and fit it for the tomach. The labor of chopping or grinding wenty-five pounds of dry hay a day is no small teut. This excessive labor is performed by one iet of muscles-the jaws; but, by sympathy, tffccts all the other muscles; causes the blood :o circulate quicker, the breath faster, the con- { umption of food greater; and still the growth yf the animal is retarded if .+ machine was invt ted to grinid hay, the iround article would apiruxiinate, in value, to iyrouiil oats, in producing tit and musecl.- ] Chopping hay and stalks is valuable just in pre portion as it approximates to grindingr, and re ieves the animal of the labor of grinding it. An animal fed on ground or minced food inay perform an amount of labor equal to grinding it ft for digestion, and fat as fast as another which does not labor, but grinds its own food. Farners Magazine. COTToN STALCS. In several of our exchan ges we have lately seen notices of cotton stalks being exhibited by planters, with squares upon them, and yesterday we heard a gentleman say, he had one on his plantation with the square almost burst into bloom. Why do planters boast of such samples ? Are they any indications of the general condition of their crops ? We think not ; to the contrary they are jumped at by speculaters as an argument that the existing crop is a forward one, and from its early maturi ty will be an abundant one, and immediately speculations are published as facts, to injure more or less the price of cotton. As a matter of interest the planter should no more exult publicly at the early appearance of squares and blooms on cotton, than he should at an over whelming crop. How many Editors think as we do?-Wiinsboro' Register. BLow:nu rr Scurs.-Select a solid place in a large root, near the ground, if 'an oak or any stump with a tap root, and with an inch and a quarter augur, bore in, slanting downward, to as near the heart of the base of the tap root as you can judge; then put in a charge of one or two ouuees of power, with a safety fuse, and tamp in dry clay or ordinary tampering material, to fill the hole, some six inches above the charge ; then touch fire to the fuse, and get out of the way. The blast will usually split the stamp into three pieces, and make it hop right out of the ground. If the charge is put in too high up, the blast will ouly split the top of the stump, without lifting it.-Okia Cultiretr. Jr- you would fatten your cattle profitably and well, give them plenty of good wholesome air, plenty of rest, a nice clean resting place ; do not disturb the naturally quiet state of their minds, and finally, give them plenty of good nutritious food, properly prepared. If you feed grain, let it be crushed and cooked ; if hay or fodder, let it be ent.-Cal. Far. To Msxi Huss LA.-If a teaspoonfull of cayenne pepper is given to a dozen hens with their food every day, winter and summer, the quantity of eggs they will produce will be nearly doubled. So says Dr. Hall. Sor-r WAFFI.Es.-Three pints of milk, two pounds of flour, eight eggs, one pound of butter, some yeast to rise; when light, bake in waffle irons greased with butter. Csut:-r FOR .PAPER.-The water in which rice has been boiled makes a good cement for pasting paper. A wise man will spread neither his manure or his labor over mere ground than will enable him to attain a maximum result. CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY.
