ROBINSON. Physical Geography of the Holy
Land. By Edward Robinson, D.D., LL.D.,
Professor of Biblical Literature in the
Union Theological Seminary, New York.
A Supplement to the late Author's Biblical
Researches in Palestine. Published by
Crocker & Brewster,_ Boston. Svo.,
pp.
399. For sale by J. . Lippincott &;Co.
With all the high valuation deservedly
placed by Biblical scholars upon the works
of the lamented author, issued before his
death, this posthumous fragmentary volume,
prepared for the press by his accomplished
widow, alone reveals to us the vastness of
his plans and the wealth of his material for
instructing his contemporaries upon the
branch of Biblical knowledge which he
had made his especial study. The " Bibli
cal Researches" were but the foundation of
a great systematic work, or series of works,
upon the Physical, Historical and Topo
graphical GeOgraphy of the Holy Land and
contiguous territories, as Sinai, Lebanon,
Mesopotamia, Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt,
Asia-Minor, Greece, and Italy. Of all this
great plan, only the comparatively small
portion embracing the Physical Geogra
phy of Palestine proper, was achieved by
the great-minded author. Yet it is perhaps
the most important part of the whole, and
would, have constituted the most prized
portion, if the whole had been completed.
And this part, we are told, is " thorough
and complete in itself, without a missing
note, without the omission of a single word
to be subsequently inserted."
What a treasure was providentially shut
out from Biblical students at the death of
this earnest and faithful investigator, this
rare scholar, who knew how to combine the
most intense scientific interestwith the hum
blest faith and the soundest and most common
sense views, we can only guess from the
preciousness of the fragment that envious
death has spared us. Ex pede Hereulem.
Every mountain, every valley, every plain,
every lake and river, even the fountains,
acqueducts and cisterns of the Holy Land
are appropriately grouped, compared and
described. Then come statements upon
the climate, including the Seasons, Tem
perature, Winds, and Purity of the Atmos
phere, and upon the Geological Features of
the Country. The Appendix contains the
Physical Geography of the Syrian Coast.
It is undoubtedly the most complete scien
tific work, not only upon Palestine, but
upon Physical Geography, in the English
lar gunge.
That the subject is eminently worthy of
the amount of zeal and of patient, scholarly
labor bestowed upon it by , the gifted
author, appears from the providential
adaptations which are
.brought to light by
the study. "It is seen at "a: glance," says
the author, in the closing:paragraphs of the
Introduction, "that while'Palestine was; in '
ancient:times in a manner isolated:from all
other 'countries, it yet formed the middle
point of all intercourse and communication
between the most populous and powerful
nations of 'Asia, Africa, and Irur'ope. We
may thus perceive the wisdom of the divine
counsels in planting in this remote and appa
rently isolated land,, the ,people to whom the
knowledge of the true God and of the gos
pel was to be revealed, in order that they
should make it known to other nations.
Probably from no other spot in the ancient
world could this knowledge have been
spread abroad, in all directions, and so
widely, so constantly, and for so long a
period of ages!'

In this volume the well-knoWn author
enters upon the, to her, new field of writing,

illustrate, in a signal manner, the power
of grace to mould and direct character to
high objects and to sustain in trial. The
love story, into which the history runs,
adds to the interest without abating from
the high Christian tone of the book.

INDIAN CORN AS A FODDER PLANT.
[lf there is any -value in the following
statements and suggestions from the pen of
a Western New York correspondent of the
Country Gentleman, they will be timely for
this season . of the year ; when the 'farmer is
planning:his yearly agricultural oarnpaign.]
At an early period in my career of farm
ing I embraced the English idea that tur
nips and other root crops. were essential to
successful farming, because it enabled one
to feed a larger stock of animals from a
aiven surface than could otherwise be clone
and thereby greatly increased• the manurial
resources of the farm. I scion foUnd, how
ever, that the conditions of climate so essen
tial to the profitable, cultivation of roots,
and of turnips in particular ; were wanting
in a large degree in this country. That, in
stead of the humid atmosphere of England,
we had hot dry, seasons, which rendered the
cultivation of that bulb exceedingly , preca
rious; so much so, that, with:our very hard,
cold winters, and the increased'amount of
room required for storage, no farnier could
afford to grow them.
My attention was next directed to Indian
corn as a substitute, and I easily came to
the conclusion that I eouldMake morebeef,
mutton, or pork, from an acre of corn, both
stalks and grain, than I could from the same
surface in roots. It was not, however, until
I +adopted the plan of cutting' or chaffing
the stalks that I began to realize the full
value of the plant to the farmer. I have
now had several years' experience with
chaffed stalks, each year improving upon
the experience of the last, and begin to
think that I pretty well understarl the
subject of making the most of coarse forage
for winter supply.
But heretofore I have, with a very slight
exception, confined myself to the stalks of
the cornfield after the grain has been se
cured, observing the result of others' ope
rations who have sown or drilled in corn
exclusively for fodder I took a hint from
a milkman who lived near Buffalo and sup
plied milk to that city. He was in the habit
of sowing several acres with Western corn
broad-cast, cutting it up before the frcst,
and curing in large stooks well set up and
fastened at the top with , strong bands, and
only drawn in when wanted in the winter.
The stalks were cut and hot still-slops
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1865
poured upon them, and then fed. He win
tered his cows in this manner, and always
had a good flow of milk, and his cows kept
in high condition. I became satisfied that
to make the stalks of increased value to the
cattle, some method must be devised to
moisten the stalks before feeding , an d having
some twenty-five acres of cornfiodder, and
considerable straw, and only a small quan
tity of hay—rather a large stock of animals,
some forty head of cattle and seven horses
—I prepared vats in the basement of one
of my barns, into which the cut feed falls
from the cutter. I found that the cattle
averaged about three bushels of feed per
day; the vats therefore held enough for
twenty-four hours' feeding and an extra
feed, or four feeds. When we begin to feed
from one vat, the other is filled by wettinc ,
down every few baskets full of dry feed,
and forking it to the opposite end. Before
commencing to wet down, a barrel is filled
with water, and salt added to make it slightly
brackish, and something more than a barrel
of water is used upon the barrel of cut feed,
and entirely absorbed. In a few hours fer
mentation commences, and before we begin
feeding from the vat the 'feed has become
sninhing hot. Thus far the cattle eat it
with great avidity, and seem to thrive; at
any rate, the cows which are in milk do not
decrease the daily flow. The stalks are cut
with about one-third their bulk of bright
wheat straw, cut when 'the wheat was well
out of the milk, but the berry not hard.
The straw is not saved under cover. The
length of cut is about three-quarters of an
inch. I think for sheep I should cut not
to exceed half an inch. A few of the
coarsest butts are left by the cattle, and a
still smaller number by the horses. The
waste is not as much as with good timothy
or clover hay. In my practice, the fodder
from an acre of., corn is worth all that it
costs to make the crop.
This leads to the question how much win
ter forage can be grown upon an acre by
means of cornstalks ? I am satisfied that
the stalks grown upon a square yard will
furnish fodder for a cow or ox for twenty
four hours. There are about two hundred
days foddering for our animals. An acre
contains 4480 square yards, or will contain,
if fairly cultivated, the necessary fodder for
twenty-two animals the usual number of
days. If the corn be drilled in early, and
not too thick, say at the rate of two and a
half bushels to the acre, there will be small
ears enough perfected to supply all the grain
necessary to keep those animal's in good
store condition. But as I may err, and it
is better to do so on the safe side, let us
double the quantity, say two square yards
—and any person who will measure off three
feet by six feet will, readily concede that it
is no very large yield to say three bushels
of chopped stalks will be produced from
that space. We then have food for eleven
head.
It must be understood that it is only by
feeding cut feed that I claim such results
can be achieved.
GAPES IN CHICKENS.
I will nest mention a disease - common to
chickens- at an early age-=-I mean the gapes.
These are'caused by numerous small :worms
in the throat. ,Th,e best,,way kno,w.of
c'etting rid of them, is to take a hen's ; tail
feather, strip it to within an inch of the
end, put' it down the chicken's throat, twist
it sharply round several times; and' drami-it
quickly out : the worms will be found en
tangled in the feathers. When this is not
effectual in removing them, if the tip of the
feather be'dipped in turpentiee, it will kill
them, butit must be put down the wind
pipe, not the gullet. I have always thought
these are- got from impure water, and I have
been informed by a gentleman who inquires
closely into those things, that having placed
Some of the worms taken from the throat of
a chicken, and some from the bottom of a
water-butt, where rain had remained for a
long time, in a microscope, he found them
identical. I have never met with, gapes
where fowls-had a running stream to water
at. Camphor is perhaps the best cure there
is for gapes, and if some is constantly kept
in the water they drink, they take it readily.
This has been most successful
There is also another description of gapes,
arising probably from internal fever; I have
found:meal mixed with milk and salts a
good remedy. They are sometimes caused
by _,a hard substance at the tip cif. the tongue; •
in this case, remove it sharply with the
thumb-nail, and let it bleed freely. A gen
tleman mentioned this to me who had met
with it in an old French writer on poultry.
Sometimes a fowl will droop almost sud
denly, after being in perfect health;.
caught directly, it will be found it has eaten
somethin€ , that has hardened in the crop;
pour plenty of warm water down the throat,
and loosen the food till it is soft, then give
a tablespoonful of castor oil, or about •as
much jalap as will lay on, a ten ,cent piece :
mixed in butter; make a pill of it and slide
it into the crop; the fowl will be well ill
the morning. Cayenne pepper or chalk,
both mixed with meal, are the best remedy
for scouring.—Wilkes' Spirit.
SHEEP-:EATING TOBACCO,
In the winter of 1864 we stated the
seemingly wonderful- arid anomalous fact
that several flocks of Merino sheephad been
found to be fond of eating the small or
damaged dry leaves left on tobacco stalks,
and of pe'eling off, and eating the dry bark
or external skin, from these stalks. In the
eases related, the sheep were not impelled
by hunger, nor did they acquire it as a trick
or habit, from any- incidental cause, No
even more spontaneously than a Bowery
boy, they took to " the weed" at sight ! We
suppose that even Meinherr Dutchman the
first-time he took a pull at a meerschaum,
felt some qualms, and that his first quid
turned out to be a quid pro pie! Not so
with Don Merino. The vice comes to him
without teaching or practice. We do
actually and seriously find that the eases we
give are the rule and not the exception
it is a serious fact that all Merino flocks (so,
far as we have heard of its being tried,) will
thus eat tobacco thrown out to them in
winter. The commence nibbling it at once,
and soon consume it habitually and quite
freely. We have received this statement
ffom numerous reliable tobacco growers
Perhaps other breeds of sheep would'feed
upon it as freely, but .our informants have
all been Merino fiockmasters. Not the least
injury appears to accrue to sheep, from
actually eating this powerful vegetable nar
cotic which contains a principle (Nicosia or
Hicotin) so deadly, that a drop of it in the
state of concentrated solution will kill a
dog. Few human tobacco chewers can
Swallow much of it with impunity. We
knew a case last winter where it was regu
larly fed to breeding ewes, (by Chester Ba
ker, Lafayette, N. Y.,) and it produced no
injury to the ambs. They became strong
and were healthy. This corresponds with
the experience of all the feeders of it whom
we have conversed with - . Most of these
gentlemen regard it as nutritious food to
sheep, so far as they eat it—and some fancy
that their sheep are healthier for having
it We confess that, to us, this is one of
the most paradoxical facts in natural history.
Well, we hope our Merinoes won't take to
smoking next, for if the do they will set all
the barns afire. They are already accused,
by their enemies, of setting a good many
men's brains afire I—Rural New Yorker.

A RELIGION OF FOUR LETTERS.
" There is a wide difference between your
religion and mine," said a Christian lady to
one in whose spiritual condition she had
long been interested.
" Indeed," said he, "how is that ?". -
" Your religion," she replied, " has only
two letterh in it. and mine has four."
It'seems that this gentleman was one of
that numerous class who are seeking to get
to heaven by their doings, by attention to
ordinances and ceremonies, by what the
apostle, in the ninth of Hebrews, terms
" dead works." But he did not understand
about the '-ltwo letters" and the "four."
His friendhad often spoken to him, and on
the occasion to which our anecdote refers,
she had called to take her leave of him for
some time, as she was about to go from
home.
" What do you mean," said he, "by two
etters andi four ?"
" Why your religion," said the lady, " is
d-o, do; - Whereas mine is d-o-n : e, done."
This was all that passed. The lady took
her leave; but her words remained and did
their. work in the soul of her friend—a
revolutionary work verify. The entire cur
rent of his thoughts were Changed. Do is
one thing; done is quite another.. The
former is.legOsm ; the 'latter is Christianity.
It was a novel and very original mode of
putting_ the gospel; but it was just the
mode for a, legalist,
_and the. Spirit of God
used it in the conversion of this gentleman.
When next he met his friend, he said to
her, Well, I can now say, with you, that
my religiori is d-o-n-e, done." He had
learnt to_fling aside his deadly doings,.end
rest in the finished work of. Christ. He
was led to see that it was no longer a ques
tion of what he could do for God, but of
what God had' done for him.
This settled: rivery thing. The four
golden letters: shone under the gaze of his
emancipated soul, Precious letters! Pre
.
eious word.! Who can tell the relief to a
burdened heart when it disbovers that all
is, done? :,, t W,hat joy to know that:what I
have been teiiing, for r it may be many, a

Satan—taken the sting from death and the
victory from the grave - glorified God in
the very scene in which he had been dis
honored-bronght in everlasting righteous
ness. All his: is wrapped up in these four
golden letters, " d-o-n-e." Ohl who would
not, give up the two for the four ? Who
would not exchange "do" for " done."
Reader, what say you to this ? What of
your religion ? Does it consist of two let
ters or four ? Is it still " do" with you?
Or have,you found your happy portion and
rest in "done?" Do think of it, dear
friend; think deeply, think seriously, and
may God's Spirit lead you this moment to
cease from your own doings, and to rest in
what Christ has already " done."

others live two in a house ; 4500 buildings
contain three families each; while the re

more sickening than this. Fifty-five houses

or 80 souls to a house. There are 580 tene

and 29 , houses in which 5449 persons live!

700 families and
.3501) souls. Such statis
tics are. appallirg. They tell of vice and
crime, and poVe - ify such n's never meets the
public eye. They - put to . rout all ideas of
decency, or propriety, or .purity. A hun

of vengeance, when the plague long nursed
by avarice; and cruelty, and oppression,
