VENTILATE YOUR CHILDREN's Rooms.

g.
make it duty to visit the sleeping room
Of their children. They do so in order
20 be satisfied that the lights are extin.
guished, and that no danger is threaten
ing their little ones. But if they leave
the room with closed windows and
doors they are as great an enemy as fire,
although his ravagcs may not be so
readily detected. Poison is there, slow
but deadly.
Morning after morning do many little
children wake weary, fretrul, and op.
pressed.
"Wha can it mean p What can it
be ?" the mother cries. In despair she
has recourse to medicine. The cousti.
tuition becomes enfeebled and the Child
gets worse.
The cause, perhaps, is never trace to
overcrowded sleepingrooms without
proper air, but it is nevertheless the
right one. An intelligent mother hav-
ing acquainted herself with the princi
pies Of ventilation, will not retire 10 her
own room for the night without having
provided su(liccncy Of air for her chill.
drcn, in tire same manner that she pro.
vides and regulates their night covering,
or any Other requisite fer refreshing
slumhcr. Sometimes by judiciously
lowering q window, and at others times
by leaving door wide open, this end
may be attained.
In many houses the day and night
nurseries communicate. When this is
the case, the window Of the further
room should be left open, and the doors
between the rooms likewise open.
Even in severe weather young children
can bear this arrangement if they are
not exposed to direct draught.

monte Rurale states that from recent
experiments made by French farmer,
1t appears that the last milk drawn from
n COW contains ten times more cream
and butter than the first milk. Hence
it follows that it, after drawing eight or
ten litres OF milk from COW. the opera.
ton is stopped, and about litre lett in
the dugs, nearly one half of the C, cam is
lost. The best way Of making butter,
according to the same authority, is to
pour cream into linen bag, then to tie
1t mp and put 1t into a hole dug in the
ground, which is afterwards covered
with earth. There it must remain for
twenty hours; after which. on being
taken out, the cream is found to have
become quite hard. 1t is then crushed
in mortar with wooden peste, hall
a glass of water being added to separate
the butter, an operation which does not
last two minutes. No other system OF
making butter is now employed either in
Normandy or the Berry; for there rot
only is n saving OF time and labor, but y
larger quantity of butter is got out y!
the cream, and its quality is excellent.
Some people put the first bag into a
second one, in order TO avoid bringing
the earth too closely into contact with
the batter.
