From the National Intelligsaesr.
|of this morning an article headed aPatent
Cow Mixer" giving a description Of new
method Of milking cows with "Milking
Siphon."
As this notice may lead those not aware of
the effects Of milking in that manner to at
tempt experiments, will forewarn them by
giving my own experience.
Some eighteen years since, ! saw an ac-
count in q newspaper similar to the one A.
bove alluded to. Being somewhat inclined to
try experiments, procured four small tubes
my fathers cows. The milk flowed freely,
and the cow was speedily nuiiked, without any
exertion. My father, fortunately, objected
to the trying Of the experiment upon any
other COW until the effect should be observed.
Within one week the animal thus MIXED be-
came sick and refused to eat. The patent
mode of milking was at once discontinued.
and the COW recovered very soon. Upon IN
quiry, l ascertaincd that, in every instance
where the experiment was tried. it had the
same effect. Nature seems to have decreed
that he, oun nutrment shall be extracted by
pressure alone. The why ond wherefore u
leave for wiser heads than my own to deter
mine. give the facts for the benefit Of 9th
ers. Let them ascertain the reasons, If they
desire to know them.
We find in the Boston Courier, the subioin-
ed notice Of meteOric shower, on the morn
ing Of the J 9Th, as observed at Cambridge
where the philosophical and curious were al!
on the alert, anticipating display similar to|
that of 1884:
1.-THE smeteo:ic shower was noticed this
but was far inferior to what was
on former occasions. Al half past
three, there were few light clouds in the
southeast, from which flashes of IightningI
were seen in a rapid succession-thc stars
were brilliant, occasionally Obscured, in part,
by thin floating vapor. At Is minutes be-
fore four O'Clock, a large meteor darted from
the north, it was quite luminous, and in size
apparently equal to one-half the full moon.--I
This was succeeded by many smallermeteors;
and % were counted by me, during an hour
and half; several were seen by other per
sons that escaped my notice. During this
having luminous train, apparently yard in
ength. The lightning continued the whole /
lime, and there were considerable appearan-
:es Of Aurora Borealis."
QUICK WoRK.-We were yesterday an eye
witness to a specimen Of despatch, which,
lad it not fallen under our inspection, we
