HOW TO Nrilk the Cows.

Dr. Dudd, the well-known Veterinary Sur
geon, writes us follows:-
The first process in the operation of milk
ing is to make the cows acquaintance, and
give her to understand that the mixer ap-
proaches her with none other than friendly
intentions for if he swears, scolds or kicks
her, she is likely to prove refractory, and
may, possibly, give the uneouth and unfeel-
ing mixer the benefit of her heels, which, in
my opinion, he is justly entitled to.
Before commencing to milk the animal, she
should be fed, OF have some kind Of fodder
in the enjoyment of the mastication of the
same, her attention is withdrawn from the
mixers operations, and the milk is not SHIELD
up" as the saying is, but is yielded freely.
The mixer should not sit off at distance,
like coward, but his left arm should come
in contact with the leg of the cow, so that she
cannot kick. If she makes the attempt when
the mixer is in close proximity with the
cows body, the former merely gets kick in
stead of blow,
Before commencing to milk, the teats are
to be washed with cold water in warm wealth
or, and warm water in winter. The object
is to remove accumulated dirt, which other
wise would fall into the milk pail, to the dis
gust of persons who love pure milk, and hate
uncleanliness. Here is chance for improve
ment.
The best milker is merciful man. The
udder and teats are highly organized and
very sensitive; and these facts should be
taken into consideration, especially when
milking young animal, for the teats are
sometimes excessively tender, and the hard
tugging and squeezing which many pool
sensitive creatures have to endure, at the
hands Of some thoughtless, hard-fsted man,
are really distressing to witness.
| A better mlker than eren mercifhl man
is a ,ooman. The principal part of the milk
ing, in private establishments in foreign coun
tries, is done by women; and in these United
States there are thousands of capable womeI
out of employment who might be advanta
geously employed, in private and dairy estah
lishments, as milkmaids. Therefore, in vieN
of improvement in the art of milking, / &C
wise farmers to teach their wives, daughter
and female domestics, how to strip the cow
An indolent person-slow coach-shoul
never be suffered to touch a cows teat IL
process, to say the least of it, is painful
therefore, the best mixer is one who ca
abstract the milk in the quickest time.
Finally, milk the coao dry. The last of th
milk is the most valuable, yet Mr.. Hurry-u
cannot spare time to attend to this matter
consequently he looses the best of the STRIP
pings, and actually ruins the COW as milkel

NATURE.


Mature, enchanting Nature in whose form

A thousand years glide by, but Nature
is still the same. Remorseless time, with
locks wild streaming in the wind, beats on
the works of man, and down they crum-
BILE to the plain. Cities, where commerce
piled her busy trade, where avarice piled
his gold and castles lone, from whence
the sound Of reverly, and dance, and song,
have foated ON the midnight air; and
ships, that bravely roamed the deep in
search of wealth; and monuments, that
told Of dauntless men; and temples, Won
dTously grand and palaces, whose splen-
dor turned nation head these ali nave
crumbled to one common dust But still
fair Nature is the same From great crea-
tion's down till now, she holds the even
tenor Of her way. No change may come.
Seasons, and flowers, and birds, sunshine
and song,--each in their favored turn are
all renewed. She changes not
When lost to Paradise, Adam and Eve

In leaf, in shrub, in signing breeze and
fragrant flower, in streams, in groves
in all that Nature is they found a friend.
Rivers with fish, and earth with all her
teeming good, supplied their various wants.
Een as to them, to all men has she been
friend. Though art may change, yet
as the eternal skies she will endure and
from first, friend to the last shall hold.
Around the far off poles, where boreal
blasts forever reign; where snow and ice,
and all the horrors of; eternal winter are
among the frigid palaces that the fantastic
frost-king rears, the lusty Esquimaux leads
his dreary life. Amid this waste of oriv'

Prentice ON Greek Fire.

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, is re-
sponsible for the following:-
We learn that Beauregard's remonstrance
against Gilmore's use of Greek fire in the
bombardment of Charleston was on account
of the horrid smell emitted by that substance.
No doubt he thinks we should charge our
bombs with cologne and lavender and ottar
of roses, but we have right to stink Charles
ton to death if we can-to throw "stink-pots"
into her or to pitch from big mortar whole
barrel of skunks into her streets. If the re-
bells can't stand the ordor, let them cut off
their noses, and for this We have no doubt
that Beauregard, when the devil gets him,
will quarrel with his club-footed majesty in
regard to the fire he shall use in broiling sim
ners.

The COmtrabands.

DR.. Caulkins, surgeon in the army, writes
of the contrabands near Washington;
They are peaceable and contented, with full
faith that the Government will deal justly
with them and secure the freedom they covert
and deserve. Among all the men, women,
and children of those camps, for the entire
time was with them, heard but one quar-
rel, and not an oath. In their regious wor-
ship they are very deyout and fervent, SEEM
ing antnr with the whole soul into the spirit
of their hymns and prayers. one OF the
prayers heard at the burial of a little child,
is almost exactly in the following words;

pie of de ole time, de Jews, we weep by de

THE UNIoN.-While the Union lasts, said
Daniel Webster, we have high, exciting, graf
flying prospects spread out before us, for us
and our children. Beyond that seek not to
penetrate the veil. God grant that, in my
day, at least, that curtain may not rise.-
God grant that on my vision never be opened
what lies behind. When my eyes shall be
turned to behold, for the last time, the sun in
Heaven, may not see him shining on the
broken and dishonored fragments of once
glorious Union; on States discovered, discord-
ant, beligerent, it may be, in fraternal blood.

the president g Gen. Grant.

When it was officially known that Vicks-
burg had surrendered to the victorious le-
gions of General Grant, the President wrote
the General private letter of acknowledge
ment and thanks for the insstimable SER
vice" he had rendered the country, and with
that Characteristic frankness which must
bring blush to the cheeks of the maligners
of General Grant, who have attempted to rob
him of his laurels and toplace them upon the
brow of another, the President acknowledges
that General Grant acted upon his own plans
and not at the dictation Of any person. Be
low is the letter of the President entire:-
