F'»r The Huntington Argtia. HKVKN. How much significance has been given the number eeven since first lime lirgun! The Lord made heaven and earth in six days and rested on I He seventh, and pro claimed to all men that they should do likewise until the end ol time. The chil dren of Israel leasted for seven davs, and for seven successive days remained within their tents. The command was given that the seventh year should he one in which no ground should he cultivated, and once every Seven years there was a complete release for all men trom all debts, and all laves were to he Ir. e lor one year, la the old Mosaic law, young men were appren ticed for the term of seven years, and con victs were held in durance fer the same number of years, or transported for “seven years, twice seven, o.- three times seven years," as the law read. The ancients never permitted their chib ilren to he named before seven days, ami the Syrians hold this still as a religious thin". Oliver Wendell Holmes, some where in his writing, tells n legend of the Sinaitie ' allev, that inscriptions of a sa cred character appear once every seven years on the rocks hi that valley, and dis. appear at the end ol the same year The baby's first tooth is tir-t seen at seven month-, and are shed when it has attained childhoods majority—seven years At twenty-one, or three times seven, a man is considered, according to the laws ol our country, old enough to sell his vote for seven dollars or less. At twenty-eight, or lour limes seven, he is regarded as a thor oughly developed biped; at thirty live, ot the times seven, he has made the tran-i turn “from lively to severe," it he ever in tends to make the journey. At forty-nine, or seveu times seven, he is in mental ami p ys cal upo s -. atj nine times sev, n, lit is in his first climacteric, at seventy-seven,or tin times seven, he has pissed his three j score years and tee, the natural period o 1 human life, as we are told by the rovnl Psalmist. Jacob served seven years for Uachel, and then, alas! condemned to an 1 other seven years of servitude in order to I obtain her. Twice seven years for fam wives! According to Mark Twain, it wo'd have beet! better to have served that time I to escape the incumbrance. 1 lie nituibei seven seems to have been the pet of circumstances since the six days work was done, that m ideall ciente i things.

Our f »rmer« all declare they will not go back to the old way of feeding stock. We cut up onr straw and everything available Ma. v of us have adopted the plan ol steam ing the food for our cattle, and wearesat ipli d from ti e experiments we have made, that we save a third of our provender la "teaming it. As a sample ol what this manner ot feeding stock will do I will relate an instance ol 0 young man who, a yea* into thin last Spring, bought a tarm of 80 acres ol bind for $11,0(H) The farm then kept eleven cows, tour or five yearlings, and a h* rse or two. The young man took hold of that farm and immediately put in four teen Mine- of sown iorn. lie increased the >*lock to twenty-five cows, and kept them on twelve acres, feeding them the sowed corn, and also culling liis oat* gi ecu lor lood II.S receipts the lie t year were over $.‘»,O00. '1 his year lie has summered on the "ime farm twenty-seven cows, and he told ue the other day that In* twenty-seven •*ows would average him $100 each Irom profit on milk.
