Scrofula, or Kings Evil;

is constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and po7r. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst cut
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor il there one which it may
not destroy The scrofulous faint is varioiisly
caused by mercnrial disease, low living, drs-
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and,
above all, by the vensreal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrotulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain.
and, indeed, OF all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse it from the system We must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

On REARING CALVES. The Gonesee
Farmer gives the following hints from
correspondents:
Undoubtedly tho best mode Of raising
calves wonld lie to allow them to run
with the cows; but this method is toe
expensive for general adoption. lie re-
c)mmends new milk for the first few days
after which they can have skim milk with
meal stirred into it, gradually increasing
the quantity ofmeal as the calf grows OIL
der. keeping the calf i'll good pasture. -
The meal may be of oats and barley or
buckwheat, erall three should be kept
up till winter.
Another recommends giving calves
milk. and porridge made of middlings,
boiled. with the addition Of an egg to
each mess. and plenty of good tender
grass.
Another recommends that after two
weeks old the calf should be fed with CO.
agulated pill three times day through
the summer, and says the calves will be
as large and fas as if allowed to run with
the COW.
Another, from Pennsylvania, recon-
meuds, after three weeks old, sour milk
with bran or corn meal mixed with il;
also keeping the calves in a dark stable
during the | ct days of summer

To KEEP BUTTER HARD AND CooL.-A
writer in the Scientific American recon-
mends to tho ladies very simple arrange
IN emit for keeping butter nice and cool
in the hottest weather. Procure
large new flower pot of sufficient size to
cover the butter plate, and also saucer
large enough for the -four pot to rest in
upside down; place trivet or meat stand,
,(sueh rs is sent to the oven when joint is
'baked) in the saucer and put on this tri
vet the plate of butter now fill the sau-
Ger with water, and turn the flower pot
over the butter, SO that its edge will be
below the water. The hole in the Hover
pot must be fitted with cork the butter
will be in what We call an air-tight cham
Der. Let the whole of the outside of the
flower pot be then thoroughly drencled
whitewater and place it in as cool place as
You can. Ifthis be done over night, the
butter viii be as firm las rock'' at
breakfast time; or ifplaced there in the
morning, the butter will be quite hard
]sst tea hour. The reason of this is, that
when water eysporstes, it produces
cold the porous pc: draws up the water
which in warm weather quickly evapo-
rates from the sides and thus coolsit, ard
and as no warm air can now get at the
butter it becomes firm and cool in the
hottest day.
SOME HINTS ABOUT Butter "A good
brine is made fer butter by dissolving a
quart of fine salt, pound of leaf sugar, &
a teaspoonful of saltpetre in two quarts
of water. and then strain it on the bnt-
ter. Packed butter is most perfectly
preserved sweet by setting the frkin into
a larger firkin, and filing in with good
brine, and covering it. Butter will keep

Never scald strainers or milky vessels
till thoroughly washed, as the milk or
cream put in them will be injured by

is to plunge them all over into scalding
water. and then every spot is scalden.
Butter will sometimes not come be-
cause the air is too much excluded from
