Coop REroRr.-A humorous young man
was driving horse which was in the habit Of
stopping at every house on the roadside.
Passing country tavern, where were col
Iected together some dozen countrymen, the
beast, as usual, ran opposite the door, and then
stopped, in spite OF the young man. who ap-
piled the whip with all his might to drive the
horse on.
The men in the porch commenced hearty
laugh, and some inquired if he would cell the
horse.
Yes replied the young man. 'bu. l cannot
recommend him, as he once belonged to a
butcher, and stops whenever he hears the calves
bleat.'
The crowd retired TO the bar in silence.

Ground and Unground-Cooked and
Uncooked Food.

In communication from the Society Of
Shakers, a, Lebanon. New York, in the Patent
Office Report, we find the following upon the
relative value Of ground and unground, cooked
and uncooked corn for feeding and fatlening
cattle, &c.:
The experience Of more than 80 years leads
us to estimate ground corn at one-,hird higher
than unground as food for cattle and especially
for fatrening pork hence it has been the prac-
tice Of our society for more than a quarter Of q
century to grind all our provender.
The same experience induces Us TO put a
higher value upon cooked than upon raw meal /;
and for fatiening animals. swine particularly,
we consider of cooked equal to bushels of
raw meal.
Until within the last three or four years our
society fattened annually for 80 years from 49,
600 to $4,000 pounds Of pork. exclusive
of lard and ofal fat; and it is the constant prac
lice To cook the meal, for which purpose or Z
potash kettles are used.'
The Shakers are close-observing, calcu-
lating people, and go in for the practical reali-
ties of life, and therefore, in the economy of
food. must be presumed to be good judges

Cabbages.

There are more ways 10 coax fine cabbage
than TO boil it with bacon side, and yet few
seem to comprehend that there can be any loss
in cooking it, even in this simple way. Two
thirds of the cooks place cabbage in cold water
and start it to boiling; this extracts all the
best juices, and makes the pot liquor soup.
The cabbage head, after being washed and
quartered, should be dropped into boiling wat
er, with no more meat than will just season
it. Cabbage may be cooked to equal broccoli
or cauliaower. Take firm, sweet head, cut
it into shreds, lay it in salt and water for six
hours. Now place it in boiling water until it
becomes tender-turn the water off, and add
sweet milk when thoroughly done take it
up in a cullender and drain. Now season
with butter and pepper and little nutmeg
grated over, and you will have dish fit to
eat.-SoH of the South.

The ART OF HEALrH.-Walking is the bes,
possible exercise. Habitua,e yourself to walk
very far. The Europeans valne themselves on
having subdued the horse to the use of man,
but doubt whether we have not lost more than
we have gained by the use of this animal. No
one thing has occasioned so much degeneracy
of the human body. An Indian goes on foot
nearly as far in day, for a journey. as an en-
feebled white does on his horse, and he will
tire the best horses. A little walk of an hour
in the morning when you first rise, is advisa-

MEN's SHAwLs-The New York papers are
very severe upon the New York dandies for
wearing shawls. We can see no improperly
in the custom. 1t is compliment to the ladies'
which they appreciate, and return, by wearing
our boots and standing collars. We think i, a
praiseworthy and beautiful custom-this de-
ligh,ful interchange of garments between the
sexes. We hope our fashionable men will at
no distant day, adopt low neck dresses and
pearl powder.

The world is bud from the bower of his beau

Of sin, hidden in the thick vale of darkness he

Brine a Poison.

M. Reynal, of the Veterinary school at Ay-
ort, France, communicated to the Imperial
Academy of Medicine in May last, the result
of investigations upon the poisonous proper
ties acquired by brine, after considerable
length oftime, in which pork or other meats
had been sailed or picked. Although the ma
ture of the poison is involved in considerable
obscurity, its existence is clearly demonstrat-
ed. The poisonous properties are acquired in
two or three months after the preparation of
the brine, and its use then, mixed with food
for any length of time, even although in small
quantities, may produce death. A simple So
luton of salt in water, after the same length
Of time, does not produce the same effect
The poison acts as local irritant, exciting
violent intestinal congestion and inflamma-
ton; it likewise increases the secretion of
the skin and kidneys, and exerts direct effect
upon the nervous system, giving rise to tremb-
ling, loss of sensation, commissions, &c. Ex-
periments we're tried with it in the veterinary
school, upon horses, dogs and pigs. As brine
is sometimes used second time for picking,
and for other purposes, these facts should be
remembered.-Trareler.
