That tho agricultural community

Farmers' I'luui.
A. 8. Graham, Sherman, writes :
doing a constant reader of your val
uable paper, permit me to throw out
a suggestion or two that would, if
regarded in (heir true light, have a
tunduncy to elevate tho farmers pro
fession by imparting to them much
useful information. Associations Au
dio discussion of agricultural subjects
are among the most useful means of
Improvement; It matters but very
llltlo what these associations bo call
ed, If they only bring fanners to
gether and Induce them to inter
change Ideas. The farmers of a'
neighborhood, it school district, or a
town, may have their stated meet
ings for this purpose, mid bo largely
beuellted thereby. A simple organi
zation only is necessary for conduc
ting business in an orderly and
straightforward manner, and pre
serving such a record that the infer-
illation elicited may not be lost. A
The Practical Farmer says: It Is
well settled in tho opinion of all our
best dairymen, that bran greatly
prom'otes.tlio i.iilk secretion in cows,
Hand it is fed almost universally.
About equally mixed with corn meal
Is the usual proportion. This mixture
seems to promote both quantity and
quality of milk.
From several sources wo hear that
buckwheat bran is a great milk pro-
ducernnd Is now being used consid
erably among our Choster ounty
dairymen, In about t)i6 same propor
tions as the oilier.
Thomas Gawthorp, ' near West
Grove, Chester county, also Jy re
peated trials with his own cows, has
fully satisfied himself that they do
as well with corn and cob meal and
bran as with puro corn meal and
bran. Tho amount of nutriment in
corn-cobs is so very small that this
result will have to bo explained on
tho supposition of the ground cob
acting to promote digestion by dis
tending tho stomach. The presence
of bulky material being necessary to
promote distension and till up the
stomach of ruminating animals, be
fore perfect digestion can be accom
plished, Is frequently lost sight of.
Hungarian grass is also found for
milch cows to be rather superior to
tho ordinary run of hay. Tho last
year or two, Hungarian grass has
loomed up wonderfully in thocstiinn
tion of our dairy farmers: and a very
largo scope of land will bo sowed
with It tho cnmlii" nenson. It ma
tures for cutting in nboutsixty days,
and produces two to four tons, peracro
the latter of coursu on irood soils.
