who owns a farm 10 this county, to hear him |
"a v. that during the last winter his mitch cows,
which were kent warm in the stable, did not
lock az well as his dry cows and other cattle,
which were exposed in the barn yard under
sheds, that merely protected them from the
rain and snow. We were not surprised at
the result of the two modes of keepiDg, for
that was but the natural effect OF the different
relations of the animals; our surprise sprung
from another Quarter-frOm the declaration
that our friend made. that the coming winter
he would keep hts mich cows 10 the barn
yard with the other cattle. The COW kind.
we are aware, are warm blOOded. hardy ami
mails, and can bear great Intensity OF cold, SO
lOag as they are fed welt with good strong
nutritious food, and win take on fat tOierably
kindly, even when exposed to winter winds

cows to the pail, 30 as to yield even tOlera-
BILE supply Of milk, unless they are kept sO0rM,
and fed generously with wholesome, nOurish-
ing food for it is utterly impossible that those

so, under such exposure. The cause Of our
astonishment arose especially from this cir
cumstance-that the good sense at our friend
should not have enabled him TO account for
the superior appearance OF the dry cattle over
those that were giving milk. He should have
rocOllected, that while the feed consumed by
the former was solely required for the accu-
mutation Of fat, the poor mich cows had to
supply the additional demand for chyIe JOr
,silk, and that what would keep the one fat.
would not be more than sufficient to preserve
a decent appearance in the other. This 10 the
rotionnle Of the phenomenon, II We may 80
term It. Il was not because exposure to cold
winds and pinching frOsts suited the c0Dstitu-
tional habitudeS Of his cattle better thana warm
and comfortable birth in his stable. but that
what they ate was solely required Cor purpos-
es Of obesity, whereas the food consumed BY
the milch cows had to answer the tWo-fold
demand Of fat and milk. 1t is welt known to
every one 10 the least acquainted with animal
economy, a. indicated in the COW species, that

seldom found 10 the same animal. at the same
time, while on the contrary. deep mixers are
uniformly more prominent in points than Aesh.
We hold it tn BE- an indisputable proposition,
that no cow will give copious supply Of milk
through the winter, unless she ID well and
comfortably kept. and fed with succoient food.

A Singular lseident.-Dr. Flint, in his Lee

illustrated tho astonishing ini1Uence which the
nervous system exercises over the whole cor

be lost. He stated that in Berlin, an individ-
ual, during violent dispute with bis wife, 10
the course of which both parties became much
enraged, undertook to administer little sal
utary chastisemeht. He struck her with his
hand, light blow on the back Of her neck
The woman instantly fell, and became appa-

ceeded to finish an OpprobriOus term which
she was applying to her husband when he
struck her the blow that appeared to have
produced such serious results! ,. --r
It was ascertained on subsequent investiga-
ton that pin, which confined certain pOr.
ton Of her garments to her neck, was by the
force of the blow, driven through the integu-

marrow: and was the cause Of this instanta-

faculties 90 soon as it was re'noved. G,,.
