SALT FOR ANIMALS.

Professor Slmonds Veterinary
Inspector to the Royal Agricultural
Society, observes, in relation 10 the
action of salt on the animal econo-
my, that 1t is exceedingly benef.
cIal in moderate quantities. but pre-
judicial in large Ones He thought
horses might take with advantage
from an ounce and half to two
ounces of salt daily; but that an ex-
cess of ii would render animals weak,
deblltated and unfit for exertion.
Similar facts were applicable also to
oxen, which accumulate flesh faster
by the judicious use of salt, than
without it. He cited Arthur Young,
and Sir John Sinclair, to show that
saft had tendency to prevent the
rot in sheep. Prof. s. added as his
own oppinion, that salt, by its ac-
ton on the liver, and the supply of
soda it yielded to the bile, led to a
greater amount of nutriment being
derived from the food. The SUBJ
stance, he said, was also well known
as vermlfnge, destroying many
kinds OF worms in the intestines of
animals, and comforting a healthy
tone of action which prevented their
re occurrence. Several members of
the X. A. Society, as Col. Challo-
ner, and Mr.. Fisher Hobbs, stated
that their experience led them to a.
gree with Prof Simonds in regard
to the value of salt for animals. In
reference TO the mode of giving it,
the practice of placing large Jumps
OF rock salt in fields or yards, where
it was accessible TO the stock, was
mentioned with appreciation. This
practice is now adopted by many
farmers in this country, and after
several years trial, is preferred TO
the former mode of giving sal, peri
odically. When animals are only
allowed to have salt once or twice a
week, II is sometimes the case that
they eat too much at once, but by
having it constantly in their reach,
they eat such quantities as their sys-
TENS require. and it assists the d.
gestion, and promotes health and
thrift.

seris that the first man who drank
coffee was a certain Mutt, of Alden,

The popular tradition is, that the SUI

the committee, you can almost hear
the sobbings Of unguish--,he wall Of
despair-and the audible swapping Of
hearl-s,rings, as the unhedged little
rascal is borne away TO the House Of
Correction.
But seriously, we fear that the very
practical recommendation of our
worthy Governor, (whose long ex-
perience gives peculiar force to his
opinions was but specifically con-
sidered by our late Legislature. We
are firm in the faith that the mere
idea ol House Of Correction
should give place TO a real super
structure, in and about which there
should be combined with the strict
est rules of discipline, the graces Of
manual labor, and the conveniencies
Of a home. The details OF such
an institution are yet To be matured,
and We trust that future legislature
will AT no distant day make amends
for the omissions OF the past.

A BAD COLD,

DIR HALLS WAY OF TREATING 1T.
A bad cold, like measles or mumps
or other similar ailments, will run It's
course Of about ten days, IN spite of
what may be done for i, unless rem
edai means are employed within
torly-elghl hours of It's inception.
Many useful life will be spared to
he increasingly y useful, by cutting a
coh short NJ, IN The IoIiocing safe
and simple manner. On the first
day of taking a cold, there is a very
unpleasant sensation of chilliness.
The moment you observe this, go TO
your room and stay there +; keep it AT
such temperature as will entirely
prevent tins chilly feeling, even if II,
requires hundred degrees OF Fab
reuhtlt. In addition, put your feet
in water, half leg deep, as hot as you
can bear II, adding hot water from
time To time for quarter Of an hour
so That the water shall be hotter when
you take your feet out than when
you put them i'll it; then dry them
thoroughly, and then put on warm,
thick wooden stockings, even if it be
summer, for summer colds are the
most dangerous ; and for twenty
Tour hours eat not an atom of food
but drink as largely as you desire Of
any kind Of warm teas, and at the
end OF that time. if moi sooner, the

Coffee and Coffee Pots.

My dear friend said the Doctor,
holding his cup in the left hand
thumb and fore finger, with the 9th
er three fingers stretched out over the
rest of the table, never inhale the
iragrances of coffee without think
ing of the old fashioned coffee pot,
or Madame Follet,' as dear Miss
Bremen used to call it. Do you
know, strand suppose you know
everytbing-do you know, sir, there
are a great many old fashioned peo-
pie in the world ?
We replied the fact was not to be
disputed.
Old-lashIoned people, sir old
fashioned IN dress, in pollleness, in
ideas, in everything. And, sir, not
long since, | had occasion to visit
TWO old ladies, sir; ! went down
stairs to the basement dining-room,
sir, without ceremony, sir, and there
| found the antiquaied virgins over
their coffee, sir; and in the middle
of the table there was the old-fasn-
ioned lin cofiee-pot, sir, secured as
bright as sand could make it, with a
great big supernnnuated spout, and a
great big, broad bottom. sir, as broad
sir, as he top of the great bell
crowned hat | used 10 wear when |
went TO visit them as a spruce young
buck, IN the year eighteen hundred
and twenty, sir Here the Doctors
spec,acles fairly gllslencd again.
Well, Doctor 2
Sir replied Doctor Busliwhaker,
there was plenty Of silver in the
cupboard, plenty great pots aud
coffee urns of solid metal, sir, with
massive handles TO match but they
were so oli-fashioned as TO prefer
The old, secured, broad-boitomed tin
pot, sir, and with reason, too, sir
Give us the reason thereof, Doc
tor, if you please
Well, sir, one Of the sisters apollo
glzed for the cofiee-poi in a still,
srnnll voice, little cracked and
Clipped by constant use, aud said
the reason why they drank their cof-
fee out Of that pot was because il
never seemed TO taste so well out of
any thing else
Why not, Doctor: ,
Why not I Easily explained, sir :;
We never make coffee 10 silver urn,
and when we pour il from the vessel
in which II is made into another, we
lose half the aroma, sir. Coffee is
of most delicate and choice flavor,
sir; very few know how to make il
or how to use ii. The proper way
TO make good coffee, sir, is to roos, il
carefully in cylinder over a charcoal
fire, until il hight brown color =
then the cylinder should be taken off
the fire and turned gently until the
berries are thoroughly cooled. The
best part of the aroma is dissipaled,
SIR, by the abomlnable practice OF
turning out the coffee in an open
iish as soon as il is roasted. Why, i
'ir, anybody caa see that the finest 5
Iarl OF II escapes you can smell IL, !
mr., IN every crack and corner of o
he house. When cooled, il should G
'e pat IA a mortar aud beat 10 pow {
Ter. A coffee mill only cracks the a
rains, but a mortar pounds out
he essential oil. Then, sir, put il
D an old-fasbioned tin coffee-poi, c
our on the hot water, stand il over &
he fire, not too hot, il will burn the s.
Office and spoil it. Then, sir. take
