Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. Mapisox, Wis. Feb. 27.—The Democratic party in Wisconsin will be entitled to twenty Yotes in the National Convention that is to be held at Cincinnati on the 2d of next June. ‘Twenty votes may be of considerable consc- quence to somebody in that Convention, and possibly may determine the choice of the candi- date, The delegation will probably—as most dclegations do not—try and reflect the wishes of their constituencies, and therefore Tae Trb- ‘une bas been to the trouble of finding out the real sentiment of the Wisconsin Democracy upon the interesting question of a choice of candidates. It is true that Wisconsin is a sound Hepublican State; and will cast her Electoral vote for the nominee of the Chicago. instcad of the @ncinnati. Convention: but still in the business of selecting the candidate to be de- feated next November the Badger Bourbons. must be heard. ‘As the ambassador of Tre Trinuxe could not find the Hon. James G. Jenkins, the late de- feated candidate for Governor on the Demo- cratic ticket, his eyes were made glad by the Sight of JUDGE J. B. MALLORY, of Milwaukee, who was pounced upon asa fit subject for the purposes of an interview and as the exponent of Democratic sentiment. Mallory iga little nearer the great heart of the Demo- cratic party, if it has a heart, than Jim Jenkins, ‘because he (Mallory) was only beaten by Smith for Governor in 1877 by 8,000 majority, whereas Jenkins was beaten in 1879 by over 26,00) ma- jority; therefore, Mallory is the better subject for-dissection of the two. “ Judge, who is the first choice of the Wiscon- sin Democracy asa candidate for President of the United States?" “That is a leading question more easily asked than answered. The Democratic party is a great party, and it has many able and. popular men within its ranks that would make available can- me whois the most, popular man with the Democracy in this State.” “Tbut I cannot tell because I have not been about much. Some prefer one man and some unother,—Tilden, Seymour, Bayard, Thurman, and others; ull have their friends.” ‘i * Who is your personal choice?” _ “1 um forthe nominee of the Convention; but that is not answering your question.

So fur as 1 know the Dest sentiment in the party favors his nomina- tion.” Do you think Mr. Bayard stands a good chance to get the nomination?” “That will Sepend. upon two things. If the Convention can rsuaded that he can carry New York, andif his present: attitude on the greenback question has not alienated the West-~ ern Democrats from him, especially in Indiana, he will be nominated.” “ How about Thurman?” “Senator Thurman is one of the ablest men in ni} and would make an excellent Presi- dent. He would make a most acceptable candi- date, too. But there seems to be » popular de- Jusion that the last Ohio election was a verdict against him in his own State.” “tsn't it favorable to Thurman's aspirations ‘tional Convention is to be held in his “1 do not think it will have any influence on the nomination.” “ Where is Hendricks in the race?” <, \, “Hendricks has no show as I can see.” “ But there js Sumuel J. Tilden to be disposed of How will it be if he insists on being the can- ‘idate?”™ ‘ “Mr. Tilden had one great opportunity, and he lost it, as many of us think, through bad management or cowardice, or both. I believe he was fairly elected, and if he had been a man of cou he would have been installed.” “ But Mr. Tilden’s political friends in Congress consented to the Electoral Commission to settle the dispute. That Commission built the bridge ae vhich Mr. Hayes passed to the White louse.” : “Yes; and they were —— fools for so doing. They gave their case away when they consented tw an arbitration with Bradley and Strong, of the Supreme Court, to decide it. No; Tilden is not as Popular: in Wiscorsin as he was four years ago. ido not think he will get a delegate.” THE HON. ITHAMAR C. SLOAN was four years in Congress from this district, from 1861 to 1885, as a Republican. His brother, the Hon. A. Scott Sloan, was ulso in Congress one term from the Dodge County District; but both of them got disgusted with Gnint's secund Administration, and bave been voting: with the Democracy pretty regularly ever since. A.Scott Sloan was twice elected Attorney-General of the State by the Democrats (873 und 1673). Mr. 1. C. Sloan still calls himself an “Independent Re- publican,” and would prefer to vote with that purty if he could do so conscientiously. He was asked about the choice of the Democracy for President, but he did not seem disposed to talk muuch on that subject. He preferred to talk about the Republican candidates, inasmuch as Wisconsin's Efectoral vote will be cast for one of them. He thought the Democrats would send a mixed, uninstructed delecation to Cincinnati, und Jet them act upon their best judgment. He will not vote for Grant’ under any circumstances, but will glad!y support Washburne. There was 2 mori! force in Washburne’s record, he sald, that would make him irresistible. Mr. Sloan said that Mr. Washburne must not carry bis trick of not being a candidate toofar. ‘The public don’t ike to be fooled with, and often takes a man at his word, much to his surprise and regret.” Finding Mr. Sloan more of 2 Republican than a Democrut, your reporter threw his line out to THE HON. E. E. CHAPIN, of Columbia County, a prominent Democratic Jawyer and politician, who had just returned frum Washington. He had met Mr. Bayard, and ume home very much in love with him. He had been told in Washi: mn that Bayard was the coming man, who could heal ull the Democratic ailments in New York and carry it as easy 23 rolling off a greased Jog. All the Enstern tinan- ciers were in his favor, and bis nomination at Cincinnati was certain, in the opinion of Mr. Chnpin. He would do all he could to get Mr. Bayard the delezution. ‘THE HON. JO RAN State Senator from Manitowoc County, was next cross-examined on the general subject. He bas been Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and is an uspirant for Gen. Bragz's seut in Congress from the Fifth trict.

B. SCHLEISINGER WEIL, member of the House from Washington County, choice ofa sin.” enjoys the distinction of being the 1ather of the Assembly. He hus represented his constituency either in the Senate or Assembly for fourteen sessions, and hus always been a faith- ful_.member of the Bourbon _ party. He {eame to Wisconsin in_ territorial times from France. He said that if Mr. Bayard was not nominated he should vote for Mr. Wash- burne, if he was in the field us the Republican candidate. He said the Frenchmen in Wisconsin would vote solid for Washburne without regard to previous political preferences or affillations. He thought Tilden and Hendricks were both out of the race. A GROUP OF MEMBERS, Democrats and Hepublicuns, were discussing the prospective chances of all the prominent candidates in the field last night ut one of the prominent hotels, Wit the Democrats, Bayard was decidedly the fayorit, und for a variety of reasons, but mainly: because he is a gentleman of ability and integrity who would make 2 od President. His political record or opinions did ‘not seem to worry them much, the question of availability being uppermostinall minds. Oneor bdued word in favorof Tilden, omniniously squelched *by a large majority.” Another was ltughed at until he turned red in the face for inthmating that David Duvis would probably be the durk horse. ‘Another said he shouldn't wonder if some man not now talked about would come tothe front, as Hayes did, with a pole long enough to knock down the Presidentia! persimmon. The general conclusion arrived at wus that Bayard was their. first choice, Thurman the second, and after that the deluge. They didn't care so Tilden wasn't nominated. Hendricks seems to have no strength with the Wisconsin Democracy, and Tilden’s old cry of “ fraud" has lost its power to charm. Many of them think Tilden is 3 big a fraud as the country ever produced. Several Democrats declured that they voted for him be- fore, but will never do so ugain. His ability to wreck railroads, the cipher dispatenes, and his other shortcomings, have laid sly Sammy out2s cold as a wedge. THE HON. HARLOW 8. ORTON, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, thought the Democratic party was never more ‘at sea in regard to the choive of a candidate than at the presenttime. He did not like ‘Lilden, never did, and was of the opinion that he was not tho choice of many Democrats in Wisconsin. Til- den was not his styleof a man. Neither was Bayard a favorit, Judge Orton had no idex how the delegates from Wisconsin would vote at Cin- cinnati. The Judge is evidently losing his in- terest in the fossilized Democratic party. He said that he understood 2 speech of Bayard’s had been discovered in which be advocated secession in 186L He thought that would cook his goose. THE HON. E. G. RYAN, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, is confined to his house by severe indisposition, and politely refused .to admit your correspondent. Judge Ryan has been “a violent -Democrat all his life, and was __ lon: the leader of that party in the State; but three things- conspire ‘now to make his opinions and wishes. about political affuir3 of les3 consequence than formerly. His ill-health renders it impossible for him to tuke un uctive part in politics, even if but they were, he were ust estopped from so doing by his post | tion, and the courtesy that hus been extended % him by the Republican party ought to restrain ane z THE HON. D. H. JOHNSON. City-Attorney of Milwaukee, who left the Re- publicans in 1873, and was carried into the Dem- oeratic purty on ‘the great tidul-wave of * Re- form,” was for Buyard first, and after that he didn’t care much. He facetiously remarked that his party was susceptible to the potent in- tiuences of the “bar'l,” and thoughta Tilden boom might easily be set a going. He said the condition of the Democratic party in Wisconsin is well illustrated by the usual Indian speech at ‘Washington: We have traveled fur, and are very hungry.” He thought Mr. Tilden had the means of capturing the delegation if he wanted it, but that just at present Bayard had the pole in the race. THH HON. HENRY L. PALAER, of Wilwaukee, was seen a few days ago by your correspondent, und pumped vigorously upon political topics.” Mr. Pulmer was Speak- er of the Wisconsin Assembly in 1853, d the Democratic candidute for Governor in 1863 ~agninst James T. Lewis. He is now President of the Northwestern Life-Insur- ance Company, and says he is out of politi He expressed his extreme disgust with Mr. Til- den, and said that he would not vote for him aguin if he should be nominated. He thought Grant would bethe Republican nominee, and could exsily be beaten with a good man. “ But,” he continued, with a merry twinkle of the eye, “I will-bet you twenty to one that we don’t nominute a good man.”* THE HON. S. U. PINNEY, one of the ablest Democratic lawyers of Wis- consin and a politician of some note, said be didn't bother himself now much about political matters, and did not care who was nominated or elected on either side. He was _— disgusted the party management in his own State, and stil! more disgusted with the Democrats in Congress who consented to the $ to7 Commission that euchered Mr. Tilden out of an office to which he was fairly elected. He was also out of patience with Tilden, who did not manifest a sufficient degree of courage in the trying moment, and did not stand up tothe rack. He ‘as not for Tilden any more. Didn't cure much what happened. Seemed to rely chietly upon the protecting care ‘of Divine Providence to carry the country on in its pros- perous course. - THE HON. W. F.

Vilas, after being offered the Democratic nomi- nation for Governor, to be found praising Grant's milltary career. He is now looked upon with distrust by all the rock-rooted Bourbons. Col. Vilas is 2 member vf the Democratic Na- tional Committee and has expressed a mild pre’ erence for Mr. Bayard. He is too full of prom- oak fe stay much longer in the Democratic party. THE HON. G. W. CATE, ex-member from the Eighth Congressional Dis- trict, hud very decided opinions upon political gueglons, and did not hesitute to express them. Personally, he preferred Seyinour, and hoped to see him the stundard-bearer of the great Demo- cratic party. He thought Tilden had no folluw- ing in Wisconsin now that amounted to any- thing, and his nomination would be a wet blan- ket upon the party. As to Tom Buyard’s candi- dacy, Judge Cate said that the Democrats of his Congressional District—which .runs from the Mississippi River to Luke Michigun, and em- braces about a third of the area of the State—are still) more or less _nffect- ed with the greenback lunacy, and would not support Bayard at all. His uttempt to destroy the legal-tender quality of the greenback hid made Mr. Buyard unavailable in his section. Judge Cate bad made Mr. Buyzrd's acquaintance whilea member of the Forty-third Congress, anid admired his ability and statesmanship very much. But he is not the man for Northern Wis- consin, oi These gentlemen were selected from different sections of the State and from nearly every Con- gressional District for the purpose of getting a true expression of opinion in regurd to zundi- dates. They are also, for the most pirt. active and prominent politicians, who are attracted hither by business before the Legisluture or in the Supreme Court, and know as well as any- body what the seutiment of the rank and file of the party is as to a choice of a Presidential nominee.

A Mass-Meeting tn Cooper Institute— Specches by Frederick Hassaurek and Sigismund Kaufinann-Stirring Beso- lutions Adopted. ‘New York Tribune. The occasions have been fers outside of an. election campaign when so largé and enthusias- tic u political gathering has been in Cooper In- stitute ag was seen there last night [Tuesday] in response to the call of the German Itepub- licans for a meeting to express opposition to.a third-term Presidency. The great hall was filled to overflowing. and. almost cvery man and wom- an remained and listened attentively to all the speakers to the close of the meeting. Before the mecting there was a torcblight procession, which marched through the strects headed by a band. A part of the procession marched into the hall, carrying their transparencies with them, while the band played the Red, White, and Blue,” the “Star-Spangled Banner,’? and other Nationaluirs. The great audience cheered almost incessuntly. ‘The speaking was,all in German. The names of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Lincoln “were often spoken of, and every time ‘those names brought down great applause. When one of the speakers told how Gen. Grant for the last eighteen months had sat at the tables of Emper- ors, and had been sought after by Princess and Princesses, and then usked whether that was o good kind of schooling for 2 Republican, the au- dience responded with loud applause and shouts of disapprobation for the student of monarchi- ealrule. And when Mr. Sigismund Kaufmann, in the middle of an carnest speech, exiled upon every German-American to make u solemn re- solve never to vote for u third-term candidate, he drew out a similar response, accompanied by shouts of “Never! never!" The speakers pointed out the fact that the German population in this country was so large us to control the balance of power, provided they acted together, and that in the coming Presi- dential campaign they were likely to huve, for the first time, 2n opportunity to decide whether they chose to continue to live under 2 free Gov- ernment, or call down upon themselves a re- newal of the evils from which they had once ted. After the entry of the procession Judge Dit- tenbifer opamed the meeting, stating the pur- poses of the same brietly. He suid that the Central German Repubtican Committee of the city had culled German Republicans together to give expression to an ardent objection to any nomination for the Presidency which should be in violation of the precedent established by Washington aud followed by his successors. Sutistied that, if that objection was respected by the lenders who would control the Utica Con- vention, no such obuoxious nomination could be effected, the German Republicans were as- sembled to warn the party lenders not to smoth- er, in the contrivance of the “unit rule,” or in other artiticial devices of the muchine, the sentiments and the yotes thus rep- resented. “Recognizing the fuct that there were in the party many distinguished citizens worthy of the nomination, and especially at- tached to no candidate, the German Republic- ans, above all things, desired the success at the coming election of the grand old party of * free soil, free speech, and free men"; and therefore they sted thut such nomination should be made 2s would unite the elements of the party. The forcing of the third-term candidate by the machine leaders, by machine contrivances, mun- ifestly for the purpose of fastening tighter the machine hold on the purty, organizations, was culculuted only to widen the breach, already sufliciently wide, in tne party. It was a danger- ous experiment, and the speaker hoped that the note of warning sounded by this vast assembly inight be heeded in time. Judge Dittenhéfer concluded by nominating Mr. Ofto Hunt to preside over the meeting. Mr, Hunt was accepted as Chuirmyn. A list of Vice-Presidents, including many German names well known in the city, was read, and then Mr. Friedrich Hussaurek, of Cincinnati, was called upon to address the meeting. ‘Mr. Hassaurek was grected with hearty ap- plause. Heisayoungman and a fluent and pertinent speaker. .. His address was: inter- spersed with zn abundance of facetious anec- dote, aud kept the large audience constantly enthusiustic. At the conclusion of Mr. Hassaurek’s address letters were read from Francis Hecker, George H. Foster, Matthew Hule, and others, and the tollowing resolutions were adopted by the meet- ‘We adhere with unfaltering devotion to the Prinelples promulgated in the platfori adopted y the National Republican Convention of 1878. “We ure for an iddissoluble union of the States, for liberal legislution for the benefit of all the people and not a class, for justice in our intercourse with foreign nations, for an im- proved civil service, and for economy in public expenditures, city, State, and National. “That to maintain and accomplish this policy, so necessary for the permunent future welfare of the people, the Republican party must be continued iu power. It can and will be con- tinued in power if the politicians will not over- ride by the ‘unit rule” and other devices the elenrly expressed will of the people in the nomi- nation of 2 candidate for the Presidency.

We protest ugamst such a confession, and we are sutistied that there are many statesmen in the Republican party against whoin the objections of the third term could not be urged who can be elected, and who, if elect- ed, will discharge the duties of that high office with credit and distinction. “That they who declare that no candidate but their favorit can, if elected, be innugurated, insult the intelligence and patriotism of the American-peopie. - It ig but un idle threat and a device to frighten the timid into supporting the third term. ‘¢ »Tbut itis manifest that there are thousands of Republicans sincerely and honestly opposed. onconviction and principle to the third term, and we warn our political leaders not to en- dunger the success of the Republican purty at the next Presidential election by forcing x nomi- nation which would be obnoxious to so many intluential members of the poriye not to assume that because thoy have been always loyal to the decrees and nominations of the Republican.

He spike of the ery in the Republican p:rtv for {strong man iu order that he might be power- ful to insure his inauguration. When, the speaker usked, had we had the necessity of 2 strong man at’the head of a party which bad elected him?

Let them, in that emergency, be given a clean and patriotic mun, and, even with the handicap of belonging to the Democratic party upon his shoulders, they would put him ‘first in the race. Then they would be called ideulists, and they could standit. ———__. : AN IMPOSITION.

Third Annual Meeting of the Sugar- Grove Farmers’ Institute. The Profits of Sheep-Raising— Deteriorations of Soil. Best Way to Feed Stock—A Suecessfal Dairjman— Fattening Cattle. From Our own Correspondent. SuGAR Grove, Kane Co., IIL, Feb. 27.—The third annual Farmers’ Institute was held here, commencing yesterday at2 p.m. The Institute was organized threa years ago fer the purpose of furthering and improving the agricultural interests of the community. A school was started and placed under the charge of Prof. F. H. Hull, for seven years prior to that time Prin- cipal of the West Division High-Schvol of Au- rora, and it bas gone along swimmingly until the present time, the schoul numbering now over seventy pupils, The method of instruc- tion is somewhat of a departure from the: old prescribed methodical system, and includes, to- gether with the ordinary branches of English educution, suck practical arts as ure considered to be most beneficial to the rising generation in the pursuit of a livelihood. A great many visitors from neighboring cities, towns, and neighborhoods arrived at Sugar Grove in time to be present at the opening, in- cluding Dr. Joseph Tefft, Judge S. Wilcox, J. M. McLean, and C.H.Lurkin, of Elgin; Dexter Judd, Thomas Judd, Lewis Gillett, Henry Chap- man, E. W. Thompson, Mark Seavey, John Thompson, ot Sugur Grove: Hiram Norris, of Blackberry, and other prominent farmers and dairymen. ‘ In opening the exercises of the session, Mr. Henry Chupman, the President of the Sugar Grove Farmers’ Club, introduced Dr. Joseph Tefft, of Elgin, and invited him to take the chair and preside. He then delivered a brief address of welcome to all the visitors. The first exercise on the program was an ex- amination of 2 class: in the elements of agri- culture, by Prof. Hall. Thts examination was supposed to be an example of the manner in which the pupils were drilled in the agricult- ural branch ut the school. ‘The subject next taken up was “HOW SHALL WE PREVENT OUR SOILS FROM DE- TERIORATING 2"? Mr. Henry Chapman was the first to discuss the aoe and he read a short paper, in which he said he should not nttempt to treat the mat- ter scientifically, but entirely from # practical standpoint. Asriculture was the tirst principle of industry. The crops required three essential elements,—earth, air, and water, Chemistry ulso informed us that some eight or ten other elements entered into the work of creating vegetuble matter. Nonoxious weeds should be allowed to thrive; no violence whuiever should be done to the soil. He believed in fertilizing land with decaying matter or compost frequent- ly. Every crop taken from the soil took just so much vitality from it. He wasa strong advo- cate of red clover as.a fertilizer. He would once ina few years give a field a rest, at the sume time sowing upon ita crop of clover, Red clover took little from the ground; it grew Juxuriantly, and when it was turned under it made a most excellent top dressing. In making experiments the speaker hud found that tho largest species of red c..ver was the best for fertilizing purposes, although tho smaller kinds were, perhaps, the best for huy. His favorit plan was to raise two crops of corn, one of smull grain, and then three, or perhaps four, years of over and pasturage, with the barn-yard ter. ie Mr. D. C. Judd believed it tobe his experienee that he could continue to raise clover and cut it off and sell it for ten years or longer, und find his land in better condition than when he left of plowing it. However, in this case, he would never teed or pusture the land after taking off the first crop. This sentiment did not appeur to mect the upproval of u majority of those pres- ent, and the subject elicited CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION. Mr. U. P. Trask, of ;Auroru, believed that a crop of clover should never be allowed to re- main on land longer thaw five years ut one time. Mr. Mark Seavey thought the second crop: of clover would prodiice all the seed that was nec- essary for two or threa.years in one year, and a meadow might be mowed for ten or ‘fifteen yeurs, provided it was not pastured in the full or Spring, and it did not‘get overrun with June grass.’ For his part, he would much rather have a ton and a half te the acre thun two tons ortwo tous aud a half, for the reason that it would be finer with a lighter crop. Quite a long discussioh ensued upon the com- parutive quality of mfit, thickness of cream, and quantity.—n practical experiment having been made by Prof., Halland his pupils by means of glass tubes. ‘The experiments showed the milk of the Jersey Ureed to be the best, so fur as quality is concerned, and the natives fol- lowed next, and the full-blooded Short-Horns made the poorest showing of all. ‘The subject for discussion in the evening was “SHEEP: BREEDING AND FEEDING,”; opened by W.W. Myers, of Big Rock. The spenker made the agsdrtion thet there was no branch of business for a'furmer so remunera- tive a5‘ shecp-ruisi i The Fox River Valley, in which they lived, had been justly set down by the traveler ns the “ Eden of-tho State,” and ho believed that farmers in that section could muke agreat deat of money’ out of those animals. ‘They were valuable for enriching the land, and their meat was almost as.valuabie as beef. Mr, Mark Seavey suid:there hid been a great many mistakes made bj men who tried to raise sheep and not know their — nature. He preferred the Cotswold or Leicester br to any other. Some thought that sheep needed itio0 water in summer pusture, ‘This, he thought, was a mistake. Sheep required to be well fed.and well watered. He had tried the experiment of fattening sheep in the winter for market, and be bud found it prof- itable. He thought there was no class of stock on their farms which paid any better than sheep. Mr. C. H. Larkin, a prominent farmer of Elgin, was enlled upon for his opinion in regard to sheep-raising. He thought sheep could be kept too close; they should buve some 2xercise and air. But he cautioned fis neighbors about get- ting the *‘ sheep-fever.’"4 Those changes cost the farmer a great deal. f everybody went into the business of shcep-raising, that industry would be killed. There were a great muny disndvantages, too, in sheep-raising; there were the dogs and foot-rot. One might perhups remedy the former evil by a liberal use of the shotgun, but the latter evil he did not Inow how tocradicate. The discussion brought out the opinions trom several that the sheep was consti- tutionally lazy, retiring early at night and rising very late in the morniug- Mr. Chapman usually raised Cotswold sheep, graded with Leicesters; He made u point of teeding his sheep until ubout the Ist of June, when he took the clip off and sold the curcass for mutton, He preferred a dry pastuye to a low, wetone. Inregard to feeding sheep, he was of the same vupinion as Mr. Seavey; he thought that x good flock of sheep was 2 good investment, but’s poor flock was worse than none at all. The subject which was to haye been taken up this morning was “ Draining for. Profit,” whicn was looked torward to with cousiderable interest by unumber present, as it isu subject which is attracting a great deal of uttention throughout the country just now. But the audience, which was quite large, was disuppointed, foP not a speaker on the subject ot drainage appeared. Accordingly, this matter wus passed, and tho subject of © “FEEDING FOR PROFIT; CATTLE AND 10GS,” was taken up, and the discussion was led by Mr. Dwight Curtis, of Fox, who simply related his experience in feeding, illustrating his points by interesting incidents which bud pussed under his observation. He corroborated his assertions by statistics, and deult prineipally in facts and fig- ures. He firmly believed that there was money in feeding enttle and ho: Mr.C. H. Larkin, of in, related his exper: ence in curn-fodder. He always cut up. all his corn, He cut his field-corn as early as he could. He shocked it, husked it, and reshogked the stalks, until they were dry ¢nough to stack. He had cut some stulks, but he wn3 not as enthusi- astic an admirer of this principle us some were who had more experience. He aad had the best success in feeding corn- fodder to sheep of any kind of stock. He ulso considered bran to be an important fuctor in the matter of feeding. His experience was that there was more virtue in timothy than in Hugarian hay. The average price for cutting was $1.an acre, and it cost per- hups a penny a basket more to husk it, He had estimated that an acre of cora-fodder was fully equul to a ton of huy. Sweet corn, sowed thick, so that the stalks would be small, was superior. as feed to field-corn. THE DATRY, Judge S. Wilcox said, on one of his farms, con- taining 12 acres, he kept on an average one year fifty-one andone-halfcows, They guve3?.- 623 gallons of milk, for whi ie received 33,421. His total expenses with these cows wnounted to $1,988, leaving his profits $1433, ‘The cows guve on an ayeraye 623.45 gallons of milk cuch in the course of the year, or 1.72 guiluns per day. He calculated that his profits were about 6 per centon his investment, which He thought might not per- hups satisfy the ordinsry;businessman. He was opposed to sweet corn as feed for cows; it was injurious and stopped the flow of milk when fed in large quantities. During the pust yer he had contracted hig milk for six months ending: Oct. Lat six cents a quart, and after the Ist of October he yot 10 vents x quart, which he thonght ws not enough; he ought toget Zor 13cents. His cows had earned him during the yeur $oi.43 exch. He always cut up his corn, und considered the fodder valuable, an acre of itexcceding un acre of the best of. ‘hay. Judge Wilcox thought our dairymen were mak- ing u terrible mistake. all thréugh the country. They considered creamery butter the best. It certainly brought the best prices, and every- body seemed to consider it the best in the mar- ket. ‘The creamery establishments were con- ducted in an extremely filthy manner; Were run by some men who were there perbups once # week, and these men employed agents who were dirty; the agenta or furemen in turn employed the most untidy men, Late porepired freely, keep! eir faces, even, hands. The floors were dirty, the boots of the men were dirty,—and this was the kind of place that the celebrated creamery butter was made in. Creamery butter looked very fine when It first exme out, and in order to know the full ex- tent of the Hlth therein contuined one must keep the article two or three weeks, when it would become fairly apparent. All the, cron: eries had cheese factories in connection wit! thems and the cheese was made as filthy as the utter. Mr. Todd Benjamin spoke .in favor of corn- stalk fodder, and’ illustrated the UI AEE in which he cut up and shocked it by means of a labor-saving machine. He put all the corn inte his barn, and he thought the expense of doing: the work connected with it was about $3 an acre. The question arose,.If a man can put cornon the stalk into his barn at $3, would ie pay toraise hay? He considered that he coul ¢.s much return from an acre of corn treated in this way as he could from an aere of corn and an acre of grass in the old way. Mr. McLean, inregurd to BUTTER-MAKING, said he believed that their wives and mothers knew more about it than ull the men in Christen- dom, with all their pet theories thrown in. He maintained that anybody who had a dairy of forty or fifty cows, if he used the proper means, ‘could make just 23 good butter as any that could. be made by machinery or rote. Infact, the best: ‘putter he had ever eaten was made on a private dairy-farm. : Inthe xfternoon, Mr. Israel Boles related bis experience in feeding thirty-five head of. cattle at one time. He fed them boiled oil-meal, mixed with tinely-ground in of all kinds,— corn, oats, bariey, and buckwheat. The result of this feeding, With careful attention, caused the cattle to gain five pounds, apiece for sixty days, at the end of which time they made prime beet. Mr. Larkin thought there was a question as to whether FINE OR COARSE GROUND FEED was preferable, and called on Prof. Morrow, of Champnrign, who arrived to-day, for his opinion in regurd to the mutter, ; Prof. Morrow expressed himself in favor of the coarser meal. He thought that finely-ground corn-meal, fed dry, was not as as it would be were it mixed with bran, or even were it ground with the cob. Some were-in favor of feeding corn whole to grinding itall. He would rather mix sawdust, straw, or anything that would not do any harm, with the meal. it mude it sit lighter on the animal's stomach, ‘Mr. Hiram Norris was in favor of coarse meal orfeed, He had fed cattle all his life. He though$that after one had commenced feeding an animal one should keep food before it all the time. He did not believe that marbled beef could be produced by feeding un animal which bad arrived at years of maturity. He would take a steer when he was young and growing, would keep feed before him all the time,—if he did not get cloyed at first,—and he would sell him or kill him after he had arrived at the age of 24% ong yours atthe outside. He thought a steer would not be half ns apt to cloy on coarse feed us be would on fine feed. “What Is Cluimed for the Different Breeds of Cattle,” was the topic next discussed, and was taken part in by Messrs. E. W. Thompson, breed- er of shorthorns; Hiram Norris, breeder of Herefords; and JohniStewart, breeder of Ayr- shires.

LEARNING TO WRITE. Good, Bad, and Indifferent Writing— Some Common-Sense Suggestions. London, Spectator. ‘We wonder sometimes, as we wade through & mass of correspondence, whether it is possible to teach good writing. The doubt may seem absurd, considering that the majority of civil- ized mankind can write, that every qualified teacher among 100,000 or 200,000 in Western Europe thinks himself or herself competent to teach the art, and that there must be some hundreds of men in England, or possibly some thousands. who make a living of some sort by practicing this specialty. Everybody, we shall be told, is taught, and some few people write well, and consequently to teach people to write well must be possible. Still, we have this little bit of evidence in favor of hesitation. Nobody ever saw anybody who wrote a thoroughly good band, and who had been regularly taught to do it. Good handwritings exist, undoubtedly, and are, we should say, rapidly on the increase; but the possessors of the art never admit that they acquired it through teaching, and, in the majority of cases, never were taught. When cross-examined, they al- ways affirm that some man or woman taught them to write, and that then a certain inclina- tion or compulsion of circumstance, or desire to do everything well, or, in frequent instances, 8 enste feeling, provoked them to’tench them- selves to write well. They were not taught, ex- cept in the most rudimentary sense of the word, and we do not know how they should be. Tutors and governesses have all caught up a sys- tem from the peor ceslonal writing-musters, and the professional writing-masters are all dominated by two ideas, which are ‘radically false. We always glance over the books they publish, and have read through a new one this week, which we do not intend to adyertise in this article, as they are all alike. They all think that “copper-plate writing,” the special hand of writing-musters and bank clerks, is good writ- ing, which itis not, beiug devoid of character, far too regular in form, and from the multi- plicity of fine upstrokes not easy to read; and they all believe that certain mechanical mo- tions, if Sarefolly taught, will produce clear writing. They will not, and they do not. There never were two people yet in this world of ours who wrote exactly alike, or. who have the same control of their fingers, or who ought, in order produce good writing, to have held their pens alike, and the effort to make. them do it only spoils their natural capabilities. No doubt, those capabilities are often naturally very small. The number of persons who ure by nat- ure not deft with their fingers is very large, and - so isthe number of those who cannot fix their attention; while the number of those who can do nothing well which they must do rapidly probably exceeds both. The difficulty of teach- ing a grown mun to write decently is almost in- conceivable,—he seems never to see what is wanted,—and something of that difficulty at- tuches to vast proportion of children. "Still, all persons not deformed or crippled iu the hand, or deficient in eyesight, can be taught to write, and the reason why they are not taught proper- y must be some inherent defect in the system. 'e believe it to be the one we have mentioned, the effort to en¥Yorce a certain method, instead of trying to secure a certain result, The unbappy child, who is almost al- ways, We ndmit necessarily, taught too early, is instructed to hold himself cx herself in a par- ticular .attitude, which is sure to be the wrong one for five sights in ten, the proper attitude depending on the length of the child's vision; to hold the pen at a particular angle, which is also wrong, the fitting angle depending on the churacter of the pen and holder; and to grasp e pen at 2 certain distance from the nib, which is arbitrarily tixed, whereas the distance must be governed by the formation and strength of the child's fingers, and would be infinitly bet- ter left to his or her own instinct. Above all, there is a perpetual worry about the ‘resting’ of the hand, though the eusiest position varies with every child, and though no two men with much writing to do rest the fingers quite alike. ‘The pupil is then taught to make lines in a cer- tain direction, and to copy characters so large that they have no resemblance to writing at all; and to care particularly ubout- up- strokes and downstrokes, and all manner of minutiv, which, if they are of any value at all, will soon come of themselves. strong, in spite of centuries of experience, is the belief in this method, that machines for controlling the fingers while writing have repeatedly been in- vented; and the author of a book betore us,a professional, is inclined to tie them up in some fashion with ribbon. . We believe that the whole of this method is a mistake, that there is no single system of mécanique for writing, and that a child belong-. ing to the educated ‘cinsses would be taught much better and more easily if, after being once enabled to make and recognize written letters, it were let alone, and praised or chidden not for its method, but for the result. Let the boy hold his pen ashe Jikes, und make his strokes as he likes, and write at the pace he Hkes—hurry, of course, being discouruged—but insist strenuously and persistently that his copy shall be legible, shall be clean, and shail approach the good copy set before him, namely, a well-written letter, not a rubbishy text on a single line, written ns nobody but a writing-muster ever did or will write till the world’s end. He will make a muddlo at first, but he will soon make a passable imitation of his copy, and ultimutely develop x charic- teristic and strong hand, which muy be bad or good, but will not be cither meaningless, unde- cided, or illegible. This hand will alter, of course, very greatly ashe grows older. It may alter at 11, because it is at thatage that the range of the eyes is fixed, and: short-sight be- trays itself; and it will ulter at 17, because then the system of tuking notes at lecture, which ruins most bands, will have cramped and tem- porurily spuiled the writing; but the character will form itself aguin, and willnever be defi- cient in clearness or decision. The idea that it is to be clear will have stamped itself, and con- fidence will not have been destroyed by worry- ing little rules about nttitude, angle, and slope, which the very irritution of the pupils ought to convince the texchers are, from some personnal Peculiarity, inapplicable.
