Cows-PoINTs OF A GOOD MIXER

COWS-PO1NTS OF A GOOD MIXER.
From an interesting article on milk in the
Ohio Farmer, we condeuse the following items
on the above topic:
A COW, to be a good mixer, must have a
good form, firm and compact bones, wide and
deep chest, wide and broad uddcr. thin hide,
soft and glossy hair and gentle feminine
look. Large, thick bones mark the character
of the animal. They are generally spongy
if so, the animal is coarse, half formed con
Germ, that has no richness of body, mind or
production. If large and compact, they show
her to be too masculine, and that her appro-
PIRATE place is at the plow rather than in the
milk stall. Such cows give milk and water,
rather than good milk.
So. too, a COW with a large. clumsy head.
dull eyes and stag horns. should be killed or
sold, but never kept for milk. For good
COW there should be as much mildness, ami
ability and beauty, in the head. eyes. and
countenance, as in a lovely woman. tits not
all nonsense to say "a good COW should be
rs pretty a school maam" Good lungs
are another requisite of good mixer, and an
important one. Without them the milk is
unhealthy, partaking Of the constitution Of
the animal. In conclusion, the writer re-
marks
"ln selecting mixer, look well to the I'D
der Before milking. il should be wide and
broad, not hanging down like sack and
hard and shiny, nearly destitute of hair, and
what their is should be short, fine and bright
After milking, the udder should be soft, and
apparently skin-bag. If, after milking, the
udder is hard and full. it shows that it is
flesh, and not milk, that distends it, A thin
skin, and soft glossy hair, is an index to the
texture of the whole animal If these are
right the whole animal may be generally set
down as good"

Humorous SrIrrtions.
THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE UNDER
DIFFICULTIES.

Mr.. Elmore, member Of the Wisconsin
Legislature, in speech in support of a bill
abolishing laws for the collection Of debts
gives his experience of litigation thus:
"The Speaker then proceeded to review the
present system Of collecting debts. 1t was
all humbug aud a cheat, a matter of techni
calities, and legal shutting. Lawyers gave
advice in order to obtain fee and encourage
htigstion.-Judges made blunders and mis-
takes. He had had little experience in law,
but that little was rich. Laughter He
would give history Of it. The speaker then
related how he purchased yoke of oxen
about hftean years ago-paid $50 for them
"a lew days alter the SON of the man of
whom he bought the oxen came to him and
sad nc oxen were bis. He insisted on hav-
ing pay over again, and commenced suit

SINGULAR DEATH OF LADY-The wife
of julius NJ. Smith, Esq, of Concord, Mass.
very estimabc lady, about thirty years of
age, wishing to have number of teeth ex-
tracted, desired the surgeon to administer TO
her whisky, in order to render her insensible
during the operation. lie advised her not to
resort to whisky, as did another physician
whom she had consulted. But as she still
desired to take it, s,ying that she feared the
effect of ether or ehloroform, and believed that
whisky would be equally etficacous, and at
the same time free from danger, a tumbler full
and half-that is, two and half gills-were
given to her, mixed with sugar in the space
Of an hour. The operation was then perform
ed and for ten or twelve hours the patient
presented only the ordinary symptoms of in
toxication, except that, for few minutes, she
| appeared like person in an apoplexy, but
soon recovered. About an hour after drink
| ing the whisky she vomited freely, without
| pain or unusual difficulty. Her pulse and
breathing were natural, and the family and
/ friends who called in the course of the day
and evening felt no apprehension till twelve
o'clock last night when the doctor, who. feel
ing some anxiety in consequence of the symp,
toms of apoplexy manifested, had remained
with her during the greater part of the even.
ing, requested that another physician be call
ed for the purpose of having a consultation
Nothing, however, could be done, and she ex
PRED at about o'clock this morning, without
having shown any sign of returning conscious
ness or Of suffering. -Boston IraUeller.
