paitos? |?trt?ij??ay. The Piedmont Cotton Factory. We arc indebted io the courtesy of Coi- i H. 1?. Hummett, Presideut of the Pied- | mont Manufacturing Company, for thc following statcmenta and figures in refer ence to the Piedmont Cotton Factory io this county, and we take great pleasure in presenting them to our readers, as it is a Greenville enterprise, and one of which our County and State may well feel proud. Ii has been built, started and operated during the financial pres sure, which commenced simultaneous with its construction, in the Summer of 1873, and to-day it stauds the proud monument to the indomitable energy and will of its projector?, and will be an honor and source of benefit to this coun try for all time to come. The following figures and statements, being the result of thc first six month's operations of the mill, are very encour aging and wonderful ; and the more so when it is remembered that the brand of gouds was new and entirely unknown in the markets, and had to bo introduced and sold at a time when it was exceed ingly difficult to sell the oldest and most popular brands. They have now been introduced into thc most of the towns in the upper part of the State and are very popular, thc home demand taking a large part of the production of the nilli, and wc are glad to learn that in New York and Baltimore they are classed equal to the best goods of their class made in the United States. This is nat ural that it should be HO, for tho machin ?ry and appliances are of the very best kind, made by the best makers, combi ning all the modern improvements known to the manufacturing world, for the man ufacture of similar goo J \ and is handled with a skill which we presume in unsur passed anywhere. The net profits from the operations of the mill from July 1st, to December 80th, 1870. were.$12,089 .')H and after paying all interest and charges of every kind, there is len a net balance of..9,074 0? There were 704 hales cotton used, aver aging 432 lbs. each.332.172 lbs. Thc goods manufactured during tho six months were : {shirting, 500,900yds, 151,885 lbs. 4-4 sheetings, 382,257 " 127,350 " Total.953,220 " 278,741 " Cost of manufacturing, per pound, everything Included.5 05 first of Cootia, per pound.17 23 " " J Shirtings, per yard.t 05 " 4-4 Shedir gx, " ".5 59 Average cost of cotton, per pound.10 21 " number of looms running.112 " " yards cloth made ptr day. .0,125 Average number of ynrds I Shirtings per loom, por day.50 91 Average number of yards 4-4 Sheetings I ?er loom, per day.53 00 No. of Warp Yarn. 13 No. of Filling ". 15 Number of Picks per inch. 52 Wc aro glad to learn that the company contemplate filling the balance ol their mill with machinery during the coming Spring and Summer and are iudebtcd to Col. Hammett for the following state incuts and explanations which we add, showing the capacity and production of the mill when the original plans are car ried out. There are now in the 2d, 8d and 4th stories, in full operation, 2 Lappets, 48 Cards, 6 Fly Frames, 8,020 spindles and 112 loams, with water wheel, shafting, belting, slasher, boiler, tools and all ne cessary preparatory machinery and fix tures. To fill tho three stories according tn thu original plan will require an addition of 1 Lappcr, 48 Cards, ii Fly Frames. 4,224 spindles and 124 looms, making the cloth mill when complete to consist of 3 Lap pera, 9C Cards, 12 Fly Frames, 7,744 spindles and 240 looms. The first story, containing a floor ca pacity of 10,000 squate feet is designed for a yarn mill and cloth room, the for mer of which will consist of 86 cards and 1872 spindles, with all tho preparatory machinery. The average daily production of the mill wb?n fl'Ted with machinery accord ing to tho original design, as indicated above, at the same rate per spindle and per loom, that the machinery .mw run ning IB producing, will be Cloth Mill.13,125 yds. cloth, 3,372 !bs. Yarn Mill.1,700 lbs. -lbs. Total.5,572 lbs. goods, equal to 14} bales cotton, weigh ing 450 lbs. each, per day. The cost of tho balance of the machin ery and fixtures to be added will be much less in proportion tc tho whole cost, than that which is now in operation, becauso thc real estnte, water power, dam, canals, wheel, heavy shafting and belting, boiler, tenement houses, Ac, ?cc., are all com pleted and in position, besides many of the machines will not be required to be duplicated when the mill is filled. The percentage of profit upon the whole in vestment will also be increased in like proportion ; because many of the items of expenso and cost of production will cot be required t:> be increased, and oth ers not in the" same proportion, and the cost of manufacturing the goods will be decreased correspondingly. Tbo water power ia ail controlled, and ja ample, without additional expense, it , is believed, to drive all the spindles cow , running in South Carolina, with looms to weave the entire production. Every- I thing has been constructed in tho most substantial and durable manner, with a Yicw to permanency and convenience, and ' will well repay a visit, to see the place with its surroundings- Greenville Daily Neice, January 24. _ How TO CUBE SLEEPLESSNESS. Thousands suffer from wakefulness who --?1-? - 1_j ?. ..?>?., rr? mc utucrmoc ni guvu ucania. iu tr ?mu of them tbia becomes a habit, and too often a .growing one. -Some resort to so phorific drugs, and th? U how the opium crave is often initiated. Oiher? ??.d wine or spirits occasionally effectual, and are thus induced to take alcohol every night, and not a few, it is to be feared, have in this way laid thc foundation of intemper ance. There have, however, never been wanting people who have found a way of goi.ag to sleep without resort to such measures. The mesmerists at one timo wero popular, and from them a host of people learned that looking at any fixed Soint steadily would often succeed in in uring sleep.

We have known the plan succeed, and it is ovidently tho same in principle as fixing the attention on ney single visible object. Another plan bas just reached us pro posed by au American physician, Dr. Cooke, who tells us that in numerous o? ?aceplc?suBSs it is only necessary to breathe very slowly and quietly for a few minutes to secure a refreshing sleep. He thinks that moat cases depend on hy peraemia of the brain, and that in this slow breathing the blood supply is less ened sufficiently to make an impression. Certainly, when tho mind ia uncontrolla bly active, and so preventing sleep, we have ascertained from patients whose ob servations was worth trusting, that tho breathing was quiok and short, and they pave found they became more disposed to r&ep by breathing slowly, This sup ports Hr, Cooke's practice, but at other ti mea hh plan quito failed. %t i? certain ly worth, any one** wbiir.

Th*?4?*>r?k*r*??? ?faklU in ?kutins is unusually full. Thc famous Chevalier de 8t. George, who wa? marvelously ex pert in all exercises of the body, WM able to sign bis name on thc ice with the : '..ide of hi*: "Vite. A eortnin young I lady, it ia ?aid, accepted a challenge to a correspondence on the icc, and in a few minutes a question and answer were writ ten down with an elegance unsurpassed by handwriting upon glass with a dia mond. There was a Swede who wa? able with one foot to design portrait* on the Ice. Strutt, in "Sports and Pastimes o? the People of England," ?peaks of four skater? who were able to dance a minuet upon the ice with as much elegance as if they had been walking on the floor of a ball room, and William Hone, in his "Every Day Book," speaking of the skat ing on thc Scrpeutine River, saya: "The elegance of skater? on that sheet of water is chiefly exhibited in quadrilles, which some parties go through with a beauty scarcely imaginable by those who have not seen graceful skating." Mr. Sam Weller, as we learn from the veracious history in which Mr. Pickwick figure? KO prominently, was au adept at thc beauti ful feat of fancy sliding known as "knock ing at the cobbler's door," which is achieved by skimming over the ice on one foot and occasionally giving a double knock with thu other. Tracing the letters of tile alphabet on thc iee has long b-e-rn a favorite exercise, but with us, in these degenerate days, thc execution of thc figure eight is about Hie severest tv.il of skill. In Germany, particularly, there are many graceful skaters. Baron de Brincken, who was page to the King of Westphalia, was able while moving over the icc at a great pace to leap n distance of two yards and clear two or three hat? placed one above thc other, or some of the little ?ledges which the ladies usc. Klopatock not only wrote fiery lyrics in praise of the art of skating, but was ur. expert at the exercise even in h is old ugo. "What!" the less active among his coun trymen would exclaim, "the author of 'Heelan* linger over pleasures no longer suited to his age !" When he and Goethe met the conversation for the most part was about skating, and the hitter is said to have found in the exercise a relief from the toi ture? of mind he suffered in consequence of the breaking of tho live link which hud existed between him and Frederick ol Sossenheim. With us it is within a comparatively recent period that ladies begun to ?kate, but in thc counties of Northern Europe both sexes practice thc art. lu Frienland most people skate more than they walk, and skating race?, especially fm women, arc frequent in all of thc towns Thc course is always care fully laid out, long strips of wood being ranged in line to keep thc competitor; separate, ami nu it is sometimes more favorable to swift progress on thc one Bide of this demarcation than on the other, the skaters ?ire required to change sides every time they turn. The lists ure in-' closed by rope? which run around by the sides of th*-canal, ulong which there is alway? o multitude of excited spectators. The prizes ure valuable, but to obtain them it is n? cessary to win from si.-ay to eighty racen. A? a matter of course thc race? in which women alono engage are more interesting than those open only to men. First, there is the honor of attach ing the skates to the feet of the fair con testants, und second, the reward of a kiss to the fortunate swuin. In these coun tries, if the women arc not as swift as the men, they are at least more expert, and excel them in lightness aud beauty of style. "The races on the ice," says Palati, "are the carnivals of the Dutch ; they are their fete?, thoir operas, their dissipations. At this season, during which many fashionable people in differ ent parts nf thc world arc ruining them selves in their extravagance, the only ex pense to which the Hollanders arc put ia the v-ost of ? pair of skates, and the out lay is called lor only once or twice during their lives." A FmuJiTEN?i> JANITOR.-Peter Holtkamp, the janitor of the First Dis trict School, : tarted to make bis Ares in that building Wednesday morning about five o'clock, when, as he approached thc house, ho heard the suund of bells from a ?leigh coming down the street. It waa still dark, and thinking tho time unusual for bleigh r'ding, he ?topped and waited for it to pass. The horse come along at ? r,iodenite puce, as if the driver was not it] Ibo least flurry, and halted in front of tho recideuco of Mr. J. 13. Gilbert, before Which the janitor waa standing. Tho driver sat perfectly still, holding the reins, and after waiting for ?oma obser vation from bim, Holtkamp called to bim, but received no roply. Then ho inquired what ho wanted, and still no answer; where be was going, with no better success. Holtkamp advanced out into the road and spoke again. The man sat quite composed, but said nothing. Holtkamp put nia hand r n him and found the man perfectly stiff. He was startled by thia, and going to Mr. Gilbert's home, aroused him, saying there was a mun frozen to death it) tn? sleigh. Mr. Gil bert came out, aud they lifted tho man out and carried him into the school-houso and deposited him on the floor by the fire. There waa no indication of life in the- body, and in carrying him it had been necessary to graap him by the hair. They were deciding aa to whether it was best at once to call the Coroner, wheo a groan came from under tho blankets with which the body was covered. Dr. Daugherty, who lives near, was called at once, and in an hour's time the limbs of the man were straightened, bis blood set In circulation se that he could walk about, ?nd was in a condition to go home. He laid his name was John lams, and that he had been ta a da?en tba night pro pious, and after taking home bb lady'was returning home himself, when suddenly lie fell asleep, he thought, in his . own bed, He felt very comfortable, and tsaw nothing more until:awakened before tho fire. John lives in "Texas." He had taken nothing, he said, but two glasses af beer that evening, but ho will be care ful next time he tokes a girl home. In \ few mordents mora he must have been frozen beyond reebVery. TILDEN AND WHEBLEB.-The Char leston News and Courier answers tho question as to how the election of Tilden and Wheeler could be evolved from tho new electoral bill as follows : Tho Constitution reentres that tho can didates for President and vice-President, to be elected by the Electoral College?, uhall receive tho votes of a majority or the whole number of Electors appointed. Tho whole number of Electors that could be appointed was 868. Now it ie certain that there were two seU of candidates for Electors in Florida and Louisiana, and that one set or the other was elected, i. e. appointed. In no State was there a fail ure to elect. But the Commission may decide that it cannot tell which of tho two octa of candi?les, in Florida and Louiaiana, was elected. In that case neither sci of votes will be counted, and Mr. Hayes, with the whole Oregon and South Carolina vote, will have only 178 votes, or twelve less than a majority, while Ur, Tilden would have ene voto lesa than n majority. The election of President would then devolve upon the House, and that of Yice-Pnsident upon the Senate. Any deciiloi^ that Electors wai? everywh^re ?pptrini??. but ?ii??, ?n any one State, the Commission connot say who they are, will result io Tilden and Wheeler. ' Per contra, if the Commission decido that, in any one of tba disputed States, no Electors were legally elected, then Tilden and Hendrick*, are elected, thoir X84 votes being a ',nnjority of tba whole Electoral vote, if anv one disputed State bo ruled ont. nu MlSS*?r'ii ' i'"Ti if'JH - Editing a newspaper is cosy work whom Alna? ha? a surplus of ideas, word?, fim'e .nul iiftftftyY fW?Mmmaa?*Bmm?mmm?mtm???mj*Mmq?mupa Dueling b? Wfiilooii. Dueling in balleol?fias already beeil tried by two FrendlWren, and with se ?ulta that should commend it to duelists. M. De Courcy and Remonin fought a duel tn this wise neat rar ia a iew years ugo with satisfaction to butti nrincipnlx nHd seconds. Thc quarrel was about thc famous danseuse Henrietta, and as there was some difficulty during the preliminary negotia tions about select inga spot, for the encoun ter, somebody nuggi.-.ted that thc fight should come off-in air! A piquaulsug geftion of this kind was nure to take with Frenchmen, and it was at once adopted. Nadir furnished two hall?nos of about thirty thousand cubic feet each -that ?9, of a capacity for carrying each three persons. When all was ready the aerostats wero conveyed to a secluded ?pot near the capital, where they were expeditiously inflated by a secret chemi cal process, il. De Courcy with his second and a physician entered one car ; M. Remonin,Gen ral Nebel and surgeon (occupied the otb et ; and preparations were made for tho start. The circum stances were altogether favorable for thc singular experiment. Ii was a delight ful morning in the middle of September ; the sky was cloudless ; scarcely a breath of wind stirred the foliage ; the affair had been HO carefully concealed that no body was present bul the friends of the parties and the aeronautical assistants employed to superintend the arrange ments. A brief code of signals had been devised by the seconds for the arrange ment of the aerial combat. When all wa? in readiness, the word "let go," was given, and instantly the two aero-iats shot into the air. M. Do t.'ourey's bal loon wus made of blue and white spin dles of silk ; that, of Heinonin white silk painted willi diagonal stripes of purple and green. At the height of one thou sand feet, hy barometer, while the bal loons were yet very near together, thc seconds exchanged rapid signals, auc agreed that the conditions were favora hie for the content. "Ready !" -a pausi -"Fire !"-nobody hit. "Reload and re peat-quick !" Rang. When thc siiiok? cleared away, M. Remonin looked ove the Hide of the car and ?aw his oppo neill's balloon rushing downward will frightful rapidity. His shot pierced tin gas-bag, ami the violent out-rush of gu had torn open thc whole Hide of the fab ric and a general smash of the occupant of the car seemed inevitable. Huwevei the bng, suddenly loosening itself fror below, gathered upward in the netlin like a parachute, tho terrific descent c the machine was arrested and M. I) Courcy and his friends reached the earl with no further damage than n sonni II in a small br?>ok. They lauded within kilometer of the place of ascension. M Remonin and is friends, however, wer wafted in thc direction of Tours, an a freshing of the wind made their attei rage somewhat more difficult and peri loir l3However, they managed at length t anchor and get out of the car wit nothing worse than a few bruises.

FARM AND H?US?HOLD. Corn Meal, Corn Br rad and Corn Mell Fortunately ft?r the people in OUT Sec tion, ihfV Can na?? "?wucvcr ?il nu ?l bread they prefer. Every planter and farmer eau easily grow wheat enough to furnish himself and family with wheat breud the year round if they prefer that; but corn is our great staple grain. While this is true, and bread, made of corn meal ;M the most nutritious of all bread, many are prejudiced agi inst it and reject it for wheat bread. Thc French Acade my ol Science, consisting of the most learned men not only in France, but in Europe, decided years ago, that corn ia more nutritious than wheat. The taste pf tin; bread made of corn is not as agree? .j >lc to most people as that ol wheat 1 read ; and the latter is attributed to that, it is owing in it great degree, to thc preparation of thc two articles. Cora bread is usually made with meal and a little water and salt, while to wheat Hour is added lard, or butter, and often sweet milk instead of water. The must nutritious ?tart of wheat is thrown out by bolting; the Hour is an impalpable powder and is unfit for healthy digestion. The bread would be better if thc w heat was left unbolted, but in that case it is not so palatable. In ? this case, we sacrifice nutriment and health to taste. Corn, ground so fine and bolted, and prepared as flour is, into bread, would nearly equal wheat bread in delicacy of taste, but it would not keep long, for such meal soon acquires a rancid and bitter taste. Thc best corn bread is made of meal that is not ground so fine. Such meal with ? little water, or milk, am! salt, to which is added a small por tion of lard, or butter, when thoroughly kneaded and baked in a hot oven, or in cakes on a griddle, until brown and en tirely done, is more wholesome than flour bread, and, eaten with butter, is equally as tasteful. No flour bread is an peri or to that made with meal and eggs; common ly called "egg-bread," nor is any prepara tion of Hour superior to mullins made with coarse meal. Iioinouy (big and little) is a nice didi made from corn that wc cannot get from wheat. There is a dish thu! can be made of meal, flour and Irish potatoes that is superior to any bread made of corn, or wheat, alone. The receipt is this: ?Stir a pint of meal in a [lint and a half of boiling water until it is freed from lumps, and set it aside for 24 hours, in warm weather; peel and mash three or four good sized Irish pota toes and knead them thoroughly into a? much flour as a pint of hot water will convert into a thick batter; then adda teacupful of baker's yeast; or a some what less quantity of other good yeast, if thc baker's yeast is not at Band. Make this preparation a short time before the expirrtion of tho 24 or 12 hours hereto fore referred to, and ut their close, add it to the meal with a little salt and lard or butter; work and knead it till they are all intimately mixed. It is better to di vide it, so us lo have several loaves in stead of one. Put them into pana so as to rise moderately for an hour, and then bake in a hot oven. This bread will be moist and wholesome, and superior to any made from all meal or flour. For a larger quantity of bread use larger quan tities ot the materials in thc proportions heretofore stated. Buckwheat cakes are improved by add ing corn meal prepared as above, using onc-tli i rd of the meal mid two-thirds of the flour. A little wheat flour may be added to advantage. Be careful that the batter does not over-rise and sour, and never use salcralus if it does. Wc close by giving a receipt for corn meal pudding. It will look better if made with thc meal of yellow corn, but that is not essential. Take a quantity of skimmed milk that has been scalded, and put meal into it in sufficient quantity to make it as thick as gruel. When cool, add finely powdered ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, snit and sweetning, (sugar, or pure sweet molasses,) to suit the taste; add a little fine eut suet, some raisins, or dried peaches, or one or two fine cut ap ples. It should bake an hour or moro, according to thc size. If your good "better half" don't like the trouble of making puddings, don't insist upon try ing this corn meal pudding, but, if you can presume upon her good nature, try it and you will be anxious to try it again. One thing is certain, you will ever after dispute the declaration of any one who may say, "nothing good can be made with com meal." Besides being good, it has another great merit, it is cheap.

Tb???? who have v tried the former have been delighted at c first, but after a few years begin to recall g with longing thc lean hams and thin but p solid and flavorous bacon of the old race horse breed. The trouble with the Essex r pigs in the South is that they are not c active enough. They ure not the 1 eat and-slcep, and wake-to-eat kind, s and their grades are of course like them, f The side fat is superb, and so is the leaf fi lard, and so far the breed is all that could i be desired ; but the hams and shoulders .. are too fat for profit, and the ham is not i marbled with fat like the Berkshires, t These (the Berks) are much more outer- r prising, moro wide awake, less easily con- ? trolled, but good foragers. The grades ' < are a wonderful improvement upon tho i original stock, may bc made very fat, and < yet the proportion between, fat and lean y in the hams, shoulders and side pork or ? bacon is such as to develop aud preserve thc excellencies of the meat. The hams are iargc and rieb, and juicy with diffused < fat. Berkshires are not quite BO easily 1 fattened when penned and systematically | fed as tho Essex grades, but they will take much better care of themselves in the woods, and when penned for fatten ing may be finished on with half tho feed tho original "land-pikes" would require. -American Agriculturist. SPREADING MANORS.-For some years wc have spread manure during the winter upon meadows, clover sod to be plowed for corn, and ground plowed for spring crops. The practice is economical of labor, and convenient, and we have no reason to bclievo that tho rosnare loses any valuable constituent. The ammonia of fresh manure is in a nascent or inac tive condition, and is not wasted during the cold weather. Those who may find it convenient to use manure itt thia man ner, can do no harm by making the ex periment. Dairy farmers eau not do bet? ter than sprcuu manure upon their meadows and pastures as fast as it is ?nade. To COOK AND SERVE A LOIN OP BEEF. -Select a twelve pound loin of beef of good quality, bone, season the inside with salt and pepper, roll and tic it firmly with strong sti ingSj cook thc samo way as beef a la mode, omitting the calf's feet ; when j done (it takes at least four hours) drain, pare, glaxo and keep it warm till wanted ; freo the gravy of ita grease and reduce with a quart of Espagnole sauce ; dress the beer on a layer of bra-ed red cab bage, garnish around with alternate groupa of glazed onions and boiled and elated beet roots, nicely rounded ; pour the same over tho garnishing and serve. COMPOST HEAPS.-Mach may be done in making Compost heaps. In the South there is a greater choice of materials than at tho North, and anything that ead bo secured to add bulk to stable manare, whether it be cotton aced, bone dost, guano, night soil, or other readily fer mentable matters, should be collected and saved.

When it is sprinkled upon the cartload of manure it absorbs the escaping g&wt and carries them with the cart to the field. The lime will disengage them, and let them loose in the air. Leaves spread broadcast over the land and sprinkled with lime, and then ploughed under, will add vegetable mould to the earth, but it is a very slow and al most imperceptible manure. Thc lime in this instance hastens the decay of the leaves, and sets free the gases created in the process of decomposition, which arc in turn again readily absorbed by mother earth and held in that peculiar state that makes them fit for plant food. We question thc economy of trying cotton seed at fifteen cents per bushel, when cotton is only worth nine cents per pound. In practice, we have usually found thirty pounds of cotton seed to be worth about as much as a pound of cot ton. And yet, we have often found them remunerative at twenty-five cents per bushel. . We would not recommend composting cotton seed with stable manure, simply because they, like the stable manure, cont-.in a sufficiency of one ingredient and not enough of the other to constitute perfect plant food. Cotton seed applied alone will furnish all thc ammonia neces sary for any crop, but the phosphoric acid is lacking. Hence, we prefer to compost seed with acid phosphate in about equal weight, and in doing so we have never failed to get a plant food that would produce a good crop, other things being equal. And these other things needed are dry, well drained soil, fre quent showers at the proper time, and elbow grease enough to keep tho crops clear.-New? and Courier. THE BRIGHT SIDE.-Look on the bright side. It is the right side. The times may be hard, but it will make them no easier to wear a gloomy and sad countenance. It is the sunshine nud not thc cloud that gives beauty to thc flower. There is alwavs before or around us that which should* ch * and fill the heart with warmth and gladness. The sky is blue ten times where it is black once. You have troubles, it may bc. So have others. None are free from them ; and perhaps it is well that none should be. They give sinew and tono to life, forti tude and courage to man. That would bo a dull sea, and the sailor would never acquire skill where there was nothing to disturb its surface. It is the duty of svery one to extract all the h^'tpiness und enjoyment he can within and with out him ; and above all, he should look on the bright side. What though things :lo look a little dark? The lane will turn, and the night will end in broad day. In the long ruc, thc great balance rights itself. What appears ill becomes ive!!-that which appears wrong, right. Mon arc not made to hang down their leads or lips, and those who do, only ihow that they are departing from thc laths of true common sense and right. There is more virtue in enc sunbeam han in a whole hemisphere of clouds md gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look >n the bright side. Cultivate all that is varm and genial-not the cold and rc mlsive, thc dark and morose. WHERE A DRIVER SHOOED SIT.-The Scientific American says : One of the an imnlies in American customs is that of ho driver of a wagon sitting on the right land side, while ho always turns out to be right when passing another team. It natters not whether on the broad, aafo borough fare or oh a na'.TOW lane or rowded eily streets, his Beat is the same. Ni us seated it is very difficult to see the xposed wheels in passing those which equire the eye of the driver. Doubtless his is a prominent cause cf the many ollisionsbetween passing teams, and the ,'or.der is that more do pol happen. Tbe uatom was brought over by the Pu rims, but like a Dutch sentence, the mr's got transposed in tho translation. Icross the pond tho driver sits on the ight, b??- ab??y? turns to the l?fi. lu ?pying the practice we retained the use ?8s part and changed the essential for rune unexplained reason. Possibly our .ithers thought to be consistent in the latter, and rather than be right-handed n the driving changed the latter to Buit. it all events, the thing as now practiced i every way inconvenient, and is a wor hy subject of reform in this year when eforms are so much in favor. And ince it is easier to change our position n 'he seat than alter the custom of tuni ng to the righi, tis henceforth hand ur friends up to the right side of the .ar?on, while we as driver take the op loslte side. LIVE STOCK.-Regular attention to all ive stock is Tvry important,, ?f jin jam aal is only half fed, it is better that it be i;ilf fed regularly, as it will suffer less nj ti ry than if attended to one day and icglccted the next But it is poor econo my to stint food. "The ! ?bera t eoul shall ie mado fat." To see one's stock conten ed, comfortable and happy, is not only a lappincsa to a good farmer, but money in tis pocket Regular hours of feeding, e^n'or watering, regular rations, ana egular rest, are conducive to comfort. ?Vith regularity there ls no haste, no vaste, nothing ?5 forgotten, and notuing a done twice over.
