When 11 eifKits Siioli.d Come In.
?Farmers often hesitate whether to have
their heifers to coiitu in at two or three
years old. The purposo held in view in
raising them may douide this questiou< It"
the object is to make the best possible milking
aniuiuls, it will be belter to have them
couie in at two years old. If the purpose
is to uiaku beef animals as well as milkers
then it would be preferable to have them
come in at three years old, or oven^ lator.
the development of doep milking capacity
is au artificial acquirement, so to speak. It
is the result largely of truiuiug. It is also
aiilcil l>y feeding and breeding. Maiffpulationsof
tho udder, as in hnudniilking, are
the foundation or starting point, (or the very
wonderful milking capacity of the domestic
cow.
In a wild statu, the cow, like the Luflfalo,
gives only mil': enough to sustain her young
and that only for a few months. No extraordinary
productions of milk ever oocurin
wild animals, though they are as well fed
and as hcathful and vigorous as in a domes
tic state.
The cattio which have been turned
out in tlio pi tins of Texas,^vhcro llioy
have an abundance of food the year round)
have their milking qualities run down to n
low standard in a lew generations ; showing
that hand-milking is as necessary to bus
taining an abnormal secretion of milk as it
is in developing it in the first place.
Cows derive their milk from tho food
they oonsiiuic, and large quantities of milk
tJau only result from high feeding ; but such
feeding' must bo douo undcrstaudingly and
at the proper time, or it may have an effect
quite tho reverse'of what is aimed at
and desired. To feed a cow high when
plic is not in milk?that is, to givo her
more food than would bo necessary to
maintain a healthy and vigorous condition
??quau?;ty which would produce fattening
or an extraordinary development of
flesh, tends to chcck*rnthcr than to devolop
milk sccrotion

.Not long ago I found a brother farmer
in a vcrj- bail stato. lie said that it had
actually come to it that a man could not
make a living farming in this country,
and if lie could find anybody to give bis
land to be was going to hunt new grounds.
I was sorry for him, for he did look power
fully long faced. Says T : "Have you tried
to make a living farming ?" "Have I tried!"
ho said, with a look that indicated that 1
was a fool "I have worked myself and
folks nearly to death, and we have been getling
poorer every yet r." ''That is strange/'
says I; "some people do make a living right

Kcosomy of Oats.?Now
that our farmers have gone so largely into
the cultivation of oats, \ro desire to give
them a few practical liinfs in regard to its
euououtic use. The old style plan of feeding
in the sheaf is wasteful in the extreme,
as any fanner can ascertain who takes the
trouble to observe. One hundred pounds
of sheaf oats of fair quality will thresh out
sixty eight pouu Is of shelled oats, all weighing
thirty-two pounds as the standard weight
for a bushel j thin would make two bushels
and lour pounds of grain. In feeding sheaf
rials 11111111.1: ?.i ill i innl.1 ni. I'll""
, , V. v.. J XIUIV VI "IVI W |l> I
day, is what is considered a proper allowunco
for an animal doiug steady f.irui work.
This 25 pounds of sheaf oats contains 17
pounds of shelled oats, equal to a half bushel
undone pound over, which, though entirely
too much grain, yet it is necessary to
give litis much in the sheaf to allow for
the wnwto occasioned by tbis manner of
feeding, as theauimal is sure to loose much
of the grain while biting at of chewing
upon the straw. In feeding shelled oatf, from
six to eight quarts is ample for a pleasure
or road horse, aud a peck aud a half or
twelve quarts, which is equal to twclvo
pounds, is a liberal daily feed for a horse or
a tnulo engaged nt hard ploughing. It
will thus be seeu that feeding shelled oats
iuvolves a saving of five pouuds per day, as
against feeding in the sheaf, which is equal
to a saving of a littlo more than one fourth
on every bushel.
Now, as the toll for threshing is only onetenth,
aud as tho straw, properly housed or
stacked, is just as valuable lor long forago
after threshing as before, it can readily be
seen how great is the economy of feeding tho
shelled oats over the wasteful plan of fecdiug
in the sheaf. An economy wich involves
the saving of twenty-five bushels out
of one hundred, is something worth considering,
and therefore wo trust the readers of
the Aiken Recorder, will ponder upon thes
substantial facts and profit by them.
At one time there existed ia this section
I a prejudice against oats as food for working
animals, it bciug claimed (hat it was not
strong enough aud therefore corn was better.
Never did there exist a goater fallacy.?
Oats is the best grain iu the world lbr

use of Indian curb fs more than apt
to do. While wo advocate an occasional
change of food for the horse or mule, we
arc constrained to believe that no cereal is
so nutritive and w.solesonic for a constant
diet as clean shelled oat*. We hope therelore
that our farmers will increase the
acreage year by year given to this valuable
cereal, and that tlicy will economize in its
use. by having every bundle shelled carefully
and preserving every pouud of straw

Journeys of Two Little Girls.?Mr.
O. M. Sadler, of the Southern Express
Company, was in the city yesterday having
in his charge two young girls, 9 and 11 years
old, who recently arrived in this country
from Urazil, and up to yesterday had been
in charge of a relative at Hock Hill. The
story of their travels is an interesting oue.
Some years ago a Mr. SuhoQeld, of Summit

and fearing to die there and leave his
children alone, lie sold out everything he

friend. Their grandfather, Uov. L. Schoficld,
an old gentleman 70 years old, lives
at Summit llill, Miss., and wa9 anxious to
have the two children sent to him, but was
in a quandary as to how to proceed, as they
arc so young to travel such a journey alone.
Mr. Sohoficld is a Mason and through the

' I know there's no sense in it. but Kato'lj
