DRINK FOR Mich Cows.-Coys
that give milk in winter will add
much to their profit by giving
them a bucket full of warm water
twice day, with a little bran, or
the slops of the family with it.
Every one has noticed how an ex-
tremely cold day. will affect their
milk, or when they have become
wet. A little salt with meal float
ing on the surface of such drink,
will soon teach any COW how to
drink it. They will drink at the
pump all the better for a little.

Important Invention.

A MACHINE TO PICK CoTToN,-
Referring to an experiment witness
ed near Memphis with a newly in
vented cotton picking machine,
the Bulletin says;
"The machine is of simple con.
struction and designed to operate
on two rows at time. A mule
is the motive power, walking be-
tween the rows, the driver perch
ed on the top of the machine,- at
his right hand is a lever by which
the machinery is thrown in and
out of gear. The front of the
machine present two rows of re-
volying brushes by which the cot
ton is drawn in and a cylinder of
wire teeth in the rear takes from
the brushes passing the cotton to
another row of brushes by which
it is cast into a receptacle behind,
holding perhaps 800 pounds
There are two faults with the ma
chine which the inventor, howey-
er, says he can speedily remedy.
One is too great a degree of veloci-
ty, and the other, that too much
trash is taken in with the cottou.
Itwas conceded by gentlemen of
experience in these matters that
Mr.. Tienseh's invention is the
nearest to perfection, and that it
can be readily developed by one Or
two alterations"

Calomel for the Cholera
The Baton Rouoe Comet of III

The Baton Rouge Comet of the
9Th has the following:
Among the most successful rem
edies-a remedy which indeed
seems to act as a specifc-in
cholera, is pursued by DR.. L. L..
Laycock, one of our ablest and
most experienced physicians
This remedy consists in the simple
application of dry calomel to the
tongue. Placed upon the tongue,
in doses varying from 80 to 100
grains or even more, according to
the condition of the patient, the
calomel is much more quickly alb
sorbed into the system than when
administered according to the old
methods, which frequently pro-
duce nausea and vomiting, or
leaving little or no trace of the
medicine behind, or when left, re-
quifing too long a time for action.
This heroic treatment of chole-
ra, by means of dry calomel, is
one which DR.. Laycock informs us
he has pursued for the last IA
years in all choleraic cases land
these occur every year, more or
less which he has been called to
attend, and in, we think he told
US, ecery instance, his mode of
treatment has been crowned with
most signal success.

SELECTING A Govt is some
times the case that the best judges
will be deceived. A cow of very
, unpromising appearance, coarse in
the neck, large boned, and second
or third rate milk marks generally,
will now and then turn out to be
first-rate; while another, with
these marks largely developed, fine
in the head and neck, and promis-
ing every way, will prove unsatis-
factory. But a failure in this is
rare. Let the head be light, the
forehead broad, the horn rather
thin and clear, the eye clear and
prominent, the neck thin, and the
quarters very light, the back
straight, the headquarters well de-
veloped, wide over the loins, the
carcass deep, the udder coming for
ward and well shaped, the skin
soft to the touch, the teats well
set not too large nor too small, and
the tail long and thin like whip
lash. Such a cow ought to be a
good one.

each field, in order to test the eff
cacy of the salt. He is confident
that it added one-third to his crop.

rustling among the leaves, that

looked up and saw John Grant ap-
preaching the house. 'l
! When he last was there, she
was with him, but he was alone
now, and my hearts quick throb-
bing told me his errand.
Was I weak and wanting in
selfrespect, when, after he had
told me all--told me that although
he was fascinated with beautiful
and loving child, deep down in his
heart had always lain a love for
me, though in the first glow of his
passion for Mary he was hardly
conscious of it--how he had
thought, from the calm indifer-
ence of my manner, that / had
never cared for him-how, since
he had been again free, he had
been afraid to make known his
love for me, feeling that he had
acted dishonorably in the past
was weak-minded and lacking in |
womanly pride, when after he had |
told me all this, and asked in trem-
bling tones, "Could y forget the
past and be his own Gardiner
all my old love came back to
me, and with more confidence
than | could have felt for years be-
fore, I laid my hand in his, and
said:
"John Grant, | will be yours!"
And so, as | have said before,
tomorrow is fixed for my wedding
day. h We do not give each other
the wild, unthinking passion of
early youth, but a deep and strong
purified and made strong

EvERGREENs FOR WINTER.-A
process has been discovered by
which beautiful show of ever
greens may be obtained for par
lor during the winter. We give
ut forthe benefit of our lady readers
who are inseparably associated in
our mind with flowers and all the
beautiful objects of earth:
"If geranium branches, taken
from luxuriant and healthy trees,
just before the winter sets in, be
cut as slips and immersed in soap
water, they will, after dropping a
few days, shed their leaves, put
forth fresh ones, and continue In
the finest vigor all winter. By
placing a number of bottles thus
filled In flower basket, with moss
to conceal the bottles, show of
evergreen is easily secured for win
ter. All the different varieties of
the plant being used, the various
shapes and color of the leaves
blend into a beautiful effect.-
Require no fresh water"

practice, and is said to be success

Recipe for Curing Meat

To one gallon of water, take one
and a half pounds of salt, one and
a half ounces of saltpetre, one and
ahaF ounces of sugar, one and a
half ounces of potash. In this
ratio the pickle to be increased to
any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together, until all the dirt
from the mixture rises to the top
and is skinned of. Then throw
it into tub to cool, aud when cold
pour it over your beef or pork, to
remain the. usual time, say four
or five weeks. The meat must be
well covered with the pickle, and
should not be put down for at least
two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprinkled
with saltpetre, which removes all
the surface blood, ETC., leaving the
meat fresh and clean. Some omit
boiling the pickle, and find it to
answer well; though the opera
ton of boiling purifes the pickle
by throwing off the dirt, always
to be found in salt and sugar. IF
this recipe is properly tried, it will
not be abandoned. There is none
