Do CATTLE REoUmE SMT?-It has
been questioned by many agricultural
writer's whether stock actually require
salt, either alone or in connection with
their food; whether it is really one of
the neccssaries Of life or simply luxu-
ry, to be used or let alone Ms conven-
fence may require. Prof. Johnson, n
Scotch writer, referring to the subject,
says:
I'VE know why the animal Graves
salt, and why it ultimately falls into
Diseases if salt is for time withheld.
Upwards of half the saline matter of
tile blood (57 per cent? consists of
common salt; and as this is partly dis
charged every day through the skin
and kidneys, the necessity of continued
supplies of it to the body becomes
sufficiently obvious. The bile also
contains soda as a special and indispen-
sible constituent, and so do all the car
tilages of the body Therefore, if the
supply of salt be stinted, neither will
the bile be able properly to assist the
digestion, nor the cartilages be built
up dRtll us iHtN liuL'uullN N'if. anu
when we consider it to be fact that
without salt man would nliserably per-
ish; as among horrible punishments,
entailing certain death, that of feeding
culpri.s on salt less food is said to have
prevailed in barbarous times, we may
become partially convinced at least OF
the necessity of feeding salt to our
stock that it is one of the necessalies
AS well as one of the Injuries of life for
man and beast; and it should be pro-
fusely provided at short intervals, in
proper places, if it cannot be kept by
them continually, so that each and eve
ry animal may satisfy the demands d
his nature. Then it shall not be sale
of us that while our pudding is always
well seasoned and sailed, our stock are
allowed to suffer for want of the same
ingredient, which is as truly necessai!
for their food as for ours.--I. w. San

How TO CHOOSE A Cow-There is al
ways some risk in buying COW,
of whose previous character and his
tory we know nothing, for there are no
infallible signs of excellence. A rough,
scrawny, coarse, ill-shapen COW is of
ten noble mixer. Yet there are a
few points generally agreed upon by
experienced farmers, which it is well
to consider before purchasing. A
small boned head and light horns are
better than large. Long legs make too
wide gap betwixt udder and milk
pail, and long-legged COWS are seldom
quiet feeders, but wander about much,
A slender rather than thick neck, n
straight back, wide ribs and broad
brisket, are to be sought for The
body of the COW should be large in
proportion to the head, neck, and legs,
though not excessively large; and the
hind quarters if large out of proper
tiop indicate good milking qualities.
Medium sized cows, all things consid-
cred, prove the best mixers for the
amount of food they consume. The
color of the hair has probably nothing
to do with the milking qualities
and good looks should be regarded
but little in purchasing dairy ami
mails AS to the color of the skin, 4
bright yellow, approaching that Of
gold coins, creamy color within the
ears-this and good rich milk are
very apt to go together; and withal 4
soft flexible hide, loose over the ribs
and rump, is also to be sought tn,
udder should be large, soft, and full o
veins which ramify over it, with full
sized milk veins stretching forward
along the belly, and the teats be larg,
and not crowded together, Test thu
cows disposition and inquire about it
Irritable and nervous cows are unpleas
ant to handle, and almost Away scant,
mixers. Something can be ascertaine,
from the looks and motions. Large
mild eyes, easy quiet motions whel
driven, and gentleness when handled
indicate good nature What Tia
butchers term good handling is al
important quality in mich COW, for i
indicates not only good milking prop
critics, but easy fattening, when servic
in the dairy is over AgricmturiS

PRESERVATION OF FuRs

- ANTAN ~ - AhhDs
The following timely communication
will be read with interest, ms it con-
Germs most of our readers The sclcc-
ton made in recent number of the
TRANsompr did not, in the opinion of
our correspondent, answer all the pur-
poses for which it was intended. The
deficiency he has attempted to supply
by the following acceptable article
which has been written for our col
umns:
The usual time that ladies put away
their furs is in May. and after putting
them in box, and the box in linen
bag with plenty of tobacco or cam
! phor gum or something of the kind,
/ they are allowed to remain quiet until
4 fall, and when taken out, ladies are Of
/ tcntimes much surprised to find their
furs much injured by the moths, md
come to the conclusion that the fur
must breed moths. This is simply non
sense. The fact is, that as soon as the
weather becomes at all warm in the
spring, and this is usually much before
furs are put away, the moth miller,
which is small yellow miller about
one fourth of an inch long, creeps into
the fur and lays the foundation for Sc
rious injury. There is no evidence of
it to be seen, and the furs are put away
in this condition, and all the tobacco
and camphor in the world viii not pre-
vent the mischief The camphor may
have the effect to keep the miller from
the fur, but there is no usc putting il
there after the miller has been there.
Before furs are put away in tho
spring. they should be thoroughly
whipped with n rattan or switch to get
out all dust and the deposits of tho
miller, and then put into a tight box
with no creyice large enough for very
small miller to creep in. This may be
done by fastening paper over the crew
ices. After the furs have been put
away three or four weeks they should
be taken ont and whipped again, anc
if the fur does not start at all, it is eyi
dent that there are no moths there, ant
if put away again rs before, there is
little danger of their being injured al
the same time it is safe to take them
out again during the summer If tho
fur should be loose at all when the,
are whipped, there are moths in it, anC
it may take several whippings to SCI
( them out.
There are striped bugs about the siz'
! of common fly found about fnS, tina
f do more injury to furs than moths, a
+ they eat the surface of the fur, and no

CHANT AND THE SoLDlERs.-The CON-

ceeds anything ever before Witnessed

at that the men cheered; and the story

And now It's time he came.
For when he left, the deep snow presd
The bosom Of the EARTH
And wintry winds ratified the blinds
While we sat by the hearth
SO many hours those long night-honrs -
And talked Of him away;
Watching the bright cheerful fire-light
Aud oft for him did pray
Then came the spring when every thing
Was dressed in brightest green,
And all the birds, in sweetest words,
We're singing, it did seem.
Then summer came. and in its train

And flowers Of heavenly birth.
