One would scarce believe that his attention could be
forcibly arrested in Paris by old building in ruins
Not suspectng there TO be seen here, except in
museums and other repositories Of art any thing Of
great antiquity, surprised as was this morning
walking near the Pont Neuf, to see, within an iron
railing, dilapdated structure and surrounding rub

earlier than any thing had yet seen There was an
air if Imay say, not only Of antiquity about IT, but
Of strangsnsss, belonging to some other and re-
mote people. My curiosity was reused. and crossing
the street to examine it, was able TO read, painted on

AGRICULTURAL.
QUANTITY OF MILK.

Several cups have been successfully filled
while milking from one COW, producing the
following results I'm every case the quantity
of cream was found to increase, in proportion
as the process of milking advanced in DIFF
ferent cows, the proportion varied, but in the
greater number the excess of cream in the last
cup as compared with the first, was as 16 to 1;
but, as in some cases the difference was not so
much, a fair average might be considered as
10 or 70 to l. And the difference in the
quality of the two sorts of cream was no less
the cream given by the first drawn
milk being thin, white and without consstence,
while that furnished by the last,was thick, but
terry, and of rich color. The milk remain
ing in the different cups presented similar diff
ference, that which was drawn first being very
poor, blue, and having the appearance of milk
and water, while that in the last cup was of a
yellowish hue, rich, and to the eyes and taste
resembled cream rather than milk. 1t appears,
therefore, from these experiments that if, af-
ter drawing seven or eight pints from a COW,
half pint remains in the udder, not only al
most as much cream will be lost, as the seven
or eight pints will furnish, but of such quail
ty as gives the richest taste and color to the
butter. This fact has been corrobarated by
chemical experiments, and holds good with
respect to the milk of all other animals--Bldch.

WINTERING SHEEP.

The season has arrived when sheeprequire
a little Of our time and attention. If these are
now bestowed with ordinary care, sheep will
pass through the winter with trifling loss and
much to our advantage. For want of atten-
tion at this season of the year, | have seen
large focks almost entirely destroyed, while
the owners blamed their bad luck, but not their
bad management. Sheep TO do well through
the winter, must be in good condition when
they begin. If they are so, they pass it with
out difficulty but if they are poor at this sea-
son, good provender and regular supply will
not insure them well through. To see then
that Cur sheep have been well taken care of
during the summer and fall, is an important
step with the farmer; and which would be a
great saving both in sheep and fodder. II is
wrong to let them ramble over the fields later
than about the first of December, because at
that time there is little nutriment in the scantv
heritage on which they feed, and the grass it.
