DRINK FOR MLcH Cows.-Cows that give milk in winter will add much to their profit by giving them bucket full of warm water twice day, with a kitchen with it. Every one has noticed how an extremely cold day will affect their milk, or when they have become wet even in summer. A little salt with meal floating on the surface of such drink. will soon teach any cow to drink it. They will drink at the pump all the better for little salt Maine Farmer.

Exnanding the Chest,

Those in wealthy circumstances, or who pursue sedentary employment within doors, generally use their lungs bat very little-breathe but very little air into the chest; and thus, indepen- dently of positions, contract wretch edly narrow, small chest and lay the foundation for the loss of health and beauty. All this can be perfectly ob- yiated by little attention to the man. ner of breathing. Recolleet the lungs are like bladder in their structure, and can be stretched open to double thear ordinary size, with perfect safety, giving a noble chest, and perfect inn munity from consumption. The agent, and the only agent required, is the com mon air we breathe, supposing, how ever. that no obstacle exists, external to the chest, such as lacing, or tying it around with stays, or tight dress, or heavy shoulder-straps upon it. On ris- ing from the bed in the morning, place yourself in an erect posture, your head thrown back, and shoulders entirely off the chest: now inhale or suck in all the air you can. so as to fill the chest to the very bottom of it, so as no more can be got in; now hold your breath, and throw your arms off behind, holding in your breath as long as possible. Repeat these long breaths as many times as you please; when done in a cold room it is much better, because the air is much denser, and will act much more power fully in expanding the chest. Exercise the chest in this manner, it will become very flexible and expansive, and will enlarge the capacity and size of the lunpe

To Render Wooden Buildings Fire
 Prnnf

The number of fires, principally oi Fwooden buildings, in this country, dur Hing the past month, suggests that some Emeans should be employed 10 render |fhem if possible, incombustible. The |E following rcceipes may not be without E use 10 many of our readers:
 F1RE-rRoor WASH FOR Sn1NeIEs.- A wash. composed of lime, salt and |. fine sand or wood-ashcs, put on in the 'l ordinary way of fwhitewashing, renders fthe roof fifty per cent, more secure \ against taking fire from falling cinders { or otherwise, in case of fire in the vi kcinity. It pays the expense hundred kfold in preserving influence against the effect of the weather The older and 1. more weather beaten the more benefit Ederived Such shingles generally be- come more or less warped, rough and Fcracked: the application of the wash, by wetting the upper surface, restores chem at one to their original or first form, thereby closing up the places be- tween the shingles, and sand, by filling up the cracks and pores in the shingle itself, prevents it from warping.
 INcoMBUsTIBLE WAsH.-Slake some lime i'll a large tub or barrel, with boil ing water; when slaked, pass six quarts of it through fine sieve. It will then be in a state of fine flour. Now to six quarts of this lime add one quart of salt and one gallon of water, then boil the mixture and skim it clean. To every five gallons of this mixture and one pound of alum, half pound of copperas, by slow degrees thfee-quarters of a pound of potash, and four quarts of white sand, or hard wood ashes sifted. This solution will admit of any color ing matter. and may be applied with brush It is more durable than paint. It will stop small leaks in the roof. pre- vent the moss from growing over and rotting the wood, and render it incom- bustiblc from sparks falling upon it. When laid upon brick work, it renders tue brick impervious to rain or wet.
 ss~--
 CoTToS SEED AS FEED FOR HoGs.- Any information that will be of benefit in this time of need, should be given to the public.
 Mr. Reuben Hodges, an old and re- sepected citizen and successful planter, has used cotton seed as food for hogs q number of years, without the least dan ger, and with great success. The cot ion seed intended to be given to the hogs should be thrown ill water the night before, care being taken that the seed are thoroughly covered, so as to fully wet the lint, and the hogs can be turned upon them the next morning. Brood sows should not be allowed 10 cat the cotton seed. Hogs thus fed are not liable to the numerous diseases that abound.
 Hogs can be fed in this manner on new cotton seed, and three weeks feed ing on corn will work complete pur gation Of the taste or the cotton seed from the meat. 4 bushcl of new cot ton seed iu putting hog ill condition for fattening is regarded as good as q bushel of corn. The above is inyalua- ble.
 Many farmers in this vicinity have adopted Mr. Hodges method of feed ing on cotton seed, with uniform suc- cess.-Lexington, Miss, Advertiser.

From Halls Journal Of Health
When the sight is beginning to fail, the
eyes should be favored as much as possible.
This can be done:
/. BY sitting in a such position as will
allow the light TO fall upon the page, or
sewing, obliquely over the shoulder.
2. By not using the eyes Ger such purpo-
ses by an artificial light, or before sunrise,
or after sunset.
8. BY avoiding the special use Of the
eyes In the morning before breakfast.
4. BY resting them for half a moment or
80 while reading or sewing, or looking at
small objects; by looking at things at dis
lance or in the sky; relief is immediate in
30 doing.
s. Never pick any collected matter from
the eyelashes or corners OF the eyes with the
finger nails; rather moisten il with the
NAH OF the finger.
G. Frequently pass the balls ofthe fingers
over the closed eyelids towards the nose; this
carries off an excess Of water into the nose
itself by means of the little canal which
leads into the nostrils from each inner cor
ner Of the eve, which canal tends TO close
up. in consequence Of the slightest inflama-
ton which attends weakness Of the eye.
z. Keep your feet always dry and warm,
. SO as 10 keep any excess Of blood from the
other end OF the body.
s. Use eye glasses at first, carried in the
vest pocket, attached to guard, for they
are instantly adjusted 10 the eye with very
little trouble; whereas, II common specta-
Giles are used, such process is required TO
get them ready, that 70 save the trouble, the
eyes are often strained to answer the pur-
pose.
Q. Wash the eyes abundantly every morn
ing. II cold water be used, let il be tapped
against the closed eye with the fingers of the
right hand, not striking hard against the
balls Of the eye. But it would seem better
plan TO open the eye in pure blood warm
water, because warm water is more pene-
trating than cold il dissolves more readily
any hardened matter that may be about the
lids, and is more soothing and more natural

very moment you are conscious Of an etior

and take walk for an hour, or employ your
self in some active exercise not requirii 8 thu

I ''BnKEp HIM TwIcE."-In coming TO
this city from New Orleans, Artemus Ward
fell in With an "old newsboy," and was al
tracted by his ready wit aud happy obser-
yations When the boat landed at our wharf
the boy rendered his services to carry Mr..
Wards' carpei-sack "a the hotel. On the
way up Royal street Artemus asked the lad
if he could show him good saloon. The
bow told him he ''conld do that very thing,"
and took him into a first-class shop" The
great humorisf turned 10 the boy, and in a
iocular manner, asked him would he take
drink The newsvendez nodded his head
In the Affirmative, and called for small
bottle Of Clicquot wine, the price of which
footed up the arissocratic sum OF 500.
Artemus had appreciated the jokes OF juve-
nile up 20 this lime, but he didn't seem to
stake this on so happily. When they got
outside Of the saloon, Artemus remarked to
the youthful s'member ofthe press" that he
had not counted on getting 'bilked' IN that
way 81 golly" replied the urchia, IF You
can't stand bilking once YOU had better cell
out You bilked me twice in New Orleans
with your darned old show and now TN
even with you" This got cold wax figures
down. He took such liking 10 the news
boy that In the magnitude OF his big heart
and noble generosity. he presented him with

aon.-- Mo6iie Adr a Register.
