uses! Think what vast deal it has done for
navigation! to say nothing of washing, scrub

likely to confess-the former in money saved.

be sure, it is abused-people drink it too cold
and sometimes too much of it. But that proves
nothing against the use. Folks abuse rum,
and brandy, and wine, and they can abuse wa
ter, if they like. As to hydropathy, it is well
enough in moderation, especially if one takes a

Milking Cows.


To insure the greatest yield of milk from
COW, she should not only be well fed and well
kept, but well MIXED Now it is not every
man or maid, that is good mixer.
1t is important in the irst.place, that cows
bag should be clean. For this purpose when
the cow is stabled-as they are or should be
during the winter, on all FARMS and through the
year by many-let the udder be washed with
cold water, and Immediately dried with towel.
The advantages ofthis practice to the health Of
the COW, and the heaIthiness of the milk, are
great and manifest; and in this way, we escape
the black sediment, of which milk buyers so
often complain, which is nothing else than
small PARTICLES of manure brushed from the bag
and belly of the COW into the pail. The hands
of the mixer by this process are washed of ne
cessity: an operation often omitted by those who
consider themselves neat and careful.
The udder now being cool and cleansed, we
nre ready to commence milking. If the COW be
we'll trained she will extend her hind leg for
your convenience. Now the COW may kick
Well, we have shown in previous number of
this journal that to return kick for kick is poor
method Of converting Mooley from the error of
her ways, but she may be cnred by kindness.
When stated it is of the utmost consequence
that the milking should be done without VIC
lence and as rapidly rs possible. Many per
sons who pride themselves on their fast milking,
jerk the teats violently, and others will cause
them to become sore by the pressure of their fin
gers. The best mixers scarcely move their
elbows, but with the upper part of the hand
grasping and pressing the teat, force the jet of
milk by the pressure of the lower finger.
Whether the COW should be MIXED before
after or during feeding, is question of minor
importance, and must be decided by circumstan-
ces. r. L. Allen, in his excellent work on,
"DomeStic animals recommends if we rightly
remember, that they be MIXED while feeding,
for the reason that while thus engaged they let
their milk down more readily.
In fine we recommend to those who want
good milk and enough of it, to use kindness
and cJealliness.- journal of Agriculture.

The Irish papers give favorable reports eff
the harvest prospects: "The Banner of Ulster
publishes an elaborate report of the state of the
crops in the north, by which it appears that for
years past there has not been so hopeful pros
pect of an abundant harvest as that which is
now fast ripening to maturity. Flax is greatly
improved, a vast change for the better having
taken place within brief period; and an equal
ly satisfactory report is given Of the state ofthe

HOUSE ANTs.-The best way to get rid of
ants is to set quantity of cracked walnuts or
shell-barks on plates, and put them in the clos
ct and places where the ants congregate. They
are very fond of these, and will collect on them
in myriadS.-When they have collected on them,
make general auto-de:te, by turning nuts and
ants together into the fire, and then replenish
the plates with fresh nuts. After they have
become so thined off as to cease collecting on
the plates, powder some gum camphor and put
it in the holes and crevices, whereupon the re-
mainder of them will speedily ramose. 1t may
help the process Of getting them to assemble
on the shell banks to remove all edibles out of
their way for the time.

To SELECT Coon Cows.-Of al marks for
ascertaining good cows, (says MAGNE,) the best
are afforded by the blood vessels If the veins
which surround the udder are large, winding
and varicose, (dilated at intervals,) they show
that the glands receive much blood, and conse-
quently, that their functions active, and that
the milk is abundant. Good milking breeds
are distinguished by soft and supple skin, and
by Issues rather relaxed than rigid.
