Esssy 6u t!ic Management of StocK.
For successful breeding or raising
of cattle, there ought to be a regular
system. The merceant in his busi
ness is regular, or else too late he
finds a balance on the wrong side of
the ledger. So the farmer would find
the benefit of Buch a system. Farm
ing is made up of details, and success
is in proportion to the amount of at
tention given to it. This only is good
management, and, as in alL.things,
there must be a beginning, good man
agement has its starting point; First,
a proper selection of breeding animals
with reference to the particular end in
view. There is perhaps no branch of
agriculture that calls for more experi
ence, or sooner shows the effects of
good management, than stock raising ;
and it will prove to the advantage of
formers in this State to turn their at
tention more to thir subject where
there is any quantity uf "free pas
ture, especially would it be profita
ble. And even the "small farmers"
must devote some time and attention
to this business; But core and atten
tion are reijusite for - success. Grain
farming alone cannot pay, therefore
gtoek and its management must make
part of tho business of farmers, and it
is necessary that they should possess
some geueral knowledge on the sub
ject. . There seems to be a neglect in
providing sufficient shelter. We find
c.tttle standing shivering in the fence
corner shivering in the cold north
we.st wind, whilst their owners sit by
the' fire wondering vf'nj the cows give
no milk, or the steers do not-fatten.
Good and sufficient shelter' should al-,
ways be provided, both for the com
fort of the animal, aud profit to the
owner; as cattle consume about one
third less food when kept in a warm
stublo, and particularly is the differ
ence seen m fattening cuttle. There
are manv ways of -making such shel
ter, according to the taste ond fincy
of the individual, so that it is.net
requisite to give any description of
buildings, or sheds, for there is a full
range ironi a shed "shingled mit
a
straw," to one costing hundreds. But
I should by all means prefer to tie up
cattle, and to use stanchions in the
pUce of chains or other fastenings.
Uy tieing up stock there is a chance
to discriminate in their food, and
have better control of the beasts ; and
I .prefer -stanchions, as the cattle do
not take up as much room as when
tied with a chain round the neck, and
the head is confined so as to prevent
much injury to each other by their
horns, aud is the quickest and easiest
way.
For pasture, moderately rolling
prairie is better than perfectly level,
provided it is supplied with good water
natural streams are the best, as
they always afford a supply, although
artiffcial streams, when properly made,
answer every purpose; such as can be
made in most all sloughs by running
a mole ditcher in them, by which
springs can be made, saving the trou
ble and expense of lifting water, and
in a large stock this is very consid
able. And then stock can drink when
they please. There should always be
a full supply of salt kept accessible to
stock, both 6uramer and winter.
There ought always to be a pasture
fenced off, according to the wants of I
the farm, even it there is plenty of

All About Hens.
Did the readers of the Country Gen
tleman ever notice that hens are alluded
to in the old Testament ? In the New
Testament they are referred to in that
well known apostrophe of our Saviour to
Jerusalem (Matt. 23, 37,) and the crow
ing of the cock is mentioned in connec
tiun witb. Peter's denial of hts master,
and as marking the watches of the night.
And yet the Jews could not say, as did
one of th" characters in Shasprare's
'Winter's Tale,' 'l have no pheasant,
cock or hen," as the barn door fowl was
a native of the east, and the present in
habitants of the Holy Laud cherish it as
their most common associate, and substi
tute it aud its eggs for nearly every kind
of meat. Neither are there any repre
sentatives of poubry in the discovered
Egyptian sculptures or paintings, neither
of camels, and as the laiter were known
in Egypt, certainly as early as thd time
of Abraham, it is no proof that barn-door
fowls were ever rare with that ancient
people.
Among the Greeks they were highly
esteemed, aud cock aud liens were im
ported from Egypt and India. The fowl

According to th notions of the Romans
(tallying in a measure with ours,) a good
and kindly hen was known by her comb
btauv-straightand upright, and double
crested. The extra toed (see D rkings)
were always preferred, and there was
also a dwarfish kind, railed by the Eng
lish travellers, "grig hens,' "extraordi
narily little, and yet fruitful, a thing not
seen m any other kind of fowl, which lay
aud miss not, but seldom sit they.on any
eggs ; and if they do. it is hurtful for
them." Pliny. Natural History.
The best eggs, they thought, to put un
der hens when they sit, were those that
were laid ten days before at the utmost.
"For neither old eggs nor yet very new
laid be good for that purpose." Some
time? as many as twenty-five were put
under one hen ; but the general rule was
to "let them cover thirteen eggs, howbeit
never under nine."
That which troubled the hens of an
tiquity, as well as the ''biddies" of our
era, was "a certain distillation of a phleg
matic humor, which causeth the pip, aud
most of ail between harvest time and.
vintage." The cure wis to keep them
hungry and long fasting ; also to let them
perch in a smoky place, especially where
the fume was made of bay leaves and
the herb savine. ''It is good moreover
to draw a little quill or feather through
their nostrils, across, and to remove or
shift it every day. As for thsir meat, let
it be some cloves of garlic shred among
their corn, or else let their meat be well

In the early and purer history of the
rominonwealth one of ' the sumptuous laws
provided that no man should have her
table served with any fowl, 'unless it were
one hen, anu the same a runner only, and
not fed up and crammed fat." Cooping

one JStrabo, a 'gentleman of Home,' and
the statute was levelled against ttus prat

American thus describes tbe salt lands
of Nebraska :
"There is Mn Nebraska Territory,
fifty miles wost of the Missouri river,
a remarkable salt region of which the
Government has reserved 17,000 acres
under the Mineral Land; Act. Near
the centre of this region there are four
basins containing 1,6000 acres. -Their
surface is nearly flat, but depressed
several feet below the common level.
As to the cause of this depression no
certain theory prevailssome claim
that the millions of buffalo, etc., which
have salted and wallowed there for
NU
Y TELEGBAul.
ages, have done it. Others claim that
the slow wash caused by the salt's
destroying vegetation will account for
it. The bottoms of the basins are
composed of black mud covered oyer
in warm, dry weather with a thin
stratum of salt, causing them to look
like magnificent fields of snow. The
salt is collected by scrapers; occasion
ally a man will scrape up a wagon
load in a day.
. In and about those basins are nu
merous springs of strong brine boiling
up. Tho quantity discharged from
them, if all in one stream, would run
a sawmill. The farmers for a hundred
miles, round go there and boil and
scrape enough for home. use. The
salt is of excellent quality crystals
white and large. It is astonishing
that no works have been erected for
manufacturing it. Our merchants
obtain salt from Netf York and Vir

The Shaw Potato.
In May, 18S0, J. W. Ilelme, of
Adrian, Michigan, sent a box of seed
ling potatoes which he" wrote us, or
iginated in that county from seed of
the Mercer, and had: been named the
"Shaw." Mr If. stated that they
were very productive,, free from disj
ease, one week earlier than Early
June, and so closely resembled the
Mercer that they were often sold for
that variety. In acknowledging their
receipt we promised to give them a
fair trial ami eport at some future
time. After the first season's expe
rience we did not feel prepared to re,
port in consequence of the fact that
the leaves of half the plants became
diseased, curled and dried before the
end of the season. The affection'was
confined to this seedling, while all
others were healthy, and we were led
to suppose that it might be a disease
to which the variety was subject, and
which might render it worthless.
Last sea-on only an occasional plant
was affected in this way, and the pres
ent summer all have been healthy.
It is an excellent potato, about as good
as the old Mercer, while the product
is more than double. It has the form
and purple maiks of the parent, but
the white portion is less clear, being
somewhat of a buff or cream'color.
It will, however, sell readily in market
for the Mercer. It is not a3 early as
the variety we cultivate for Early
June, but follows it quite closely.
We are almost ready to pronounce it
one of the best potatoes we have ever
grown, even for a general crop. With
this, and Davis' Seedling, and a few
Flaukes for backing, no one will have
accasion to complain of poor potatoes
or shy bearers. Rural iVW Yorker.

Ahoat Cooking Potatoes.
Potatoes Buiied. Wash them, but do
not pare or cut them, uuless they are
very large. Fll a sauce-pan half; full of
potatoes of equal size, or the small ones
will be done' ro'pieces before the large
caes are boiled enough. (or make them
so by uiri'Jiog the larger ones;) put io
them at . much coiu ' .ater as will .cover
them about an inch ; they re sooner
boiled and more savory thai? when drown
ed in water. Most boiled , thinga are
spoiled by having too little water, but po
tatoes are often spoiled by having too
uruch; they must merely be covered, and
a little allowed fur waste in boiling, so
that they may be just covered at the finish.
Set them on a moderate fire lill they
boil; then take them off, and put them
by the side of the fire to simmer ' slowly
till they are soft'enough to admit a fork,
(place no dependence on the usual test
of their skins cracking, which, if they are
boiled fast, will happen to some potatoes
when they are not half done, and the in
sides quite hard, i Then pour the water
off. (if you let the potatoes remain in the
water a moment after they are done
enough, they will become waxy and wa
tery,) uncoyer the sauce-pan, and set it
at such a distance from the fire as will
secure it from burning; their superflous
moisture will evaporate, and the potatoes
will be perfectly dry and mealy.
You may afterwards place a napkin,
folded up to the size of the sauce-pan's
diameter, over the potatoes, to keep them
hot and mealy till wanted.
This method of managing potatoes is in
every respect equal to steaming them;
and they are dressed in half the time.
There is such an infinite variety of
sorts and sizes of potatoes, that it is im
possible to say how long they will take
doing; the best way is to try them with
a fork. Moderate-sized potatoes will
generally be done enough ia fifteen or
twenty minutes.
Cold Potatoes Fried. Tut a bit of
clean dripping into a frying-pan ; when
it is melted, slice in your potatoes with
