The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1866-06-26

The DAY Book originated the scheme Of
introducing water into Norfolk from the
Dismal Swamp. 1t has steadily advocated
it, for the obvious reasons that pure water
will promote health, and copious supplies
stimulate manufacturing enterprises No
one will dispute either proposition, and the
Importance attaching to full supply of
healthful water is fully shown by the fact
that the city of London is about to introduce
its supply from loch in Scotland and San
Francisco from the mountains behind it
distances in one case over, and in the next
nearly, two hundred miles. This is sufficient
to show us the importance attached by these
communities to pure water, and we have only
to remember how important an agent it is in
the human economy, to appreciate, in both
cases, the wisdom of the enterprise
Apart from the healthfulness, the impor-
lance to us Of furnishing the ready and cease
less motive power to manufacturing enter
prises-as, for example, in the fabrication of
wooden ware-cannot be overstated We
have the very best material at our doors
the labor-and only lack the motive power
These, however, are considerations to be re-
called hereafter. Our present object is to
attract the attention of the Engineer of this
work to the great importance Of conveying
the water to us through pipes which will
deliver it here in the same purity in which
it is drawn from Lake Drummond. Lead
pipes are commonly used for this purposes;
but the question arises-and very grave
question it is--do these vehicles convey water
free of deadly salts Does water conveyed
through pipes of lead become chemically in
fused with dangerous ingredients?
These questions, it will at once be seen are,
as we have said, of grave Importance; for if
the answer be affirmative, then it becomes in
dispensable that some Other means of intro
ducing water should be devised than. that of
eaden pipes 1t is affirmed by European
chemists, whose attention was turned to this
subject of lead poisoning in Holland, discovered
that pure water, in contact with lead when
exposed to the action of the atmosphere,
formed the hydrated oxyde of lead which is a
soluble SALT this is in turn precipitated by the
action of carbonic-acid formed ip the air, or

TAKING COLD.

Thousands take cold and bring upon them
selves various forms Of incurable disease, by
laying aside an extra garment when perspi-
ring from heat or vigorous exercise. When
exercise has been taken the person should
rest awhile before removing a garment, and
if lying down or exposed to a current of air,
more clothing, instead of less should be ad-
ded till well rested. When exposed to cold
from getting the feet or person wet, dry cloth
ing should be put on, and vigoI Gus exercise
should be taken, however stupid the person
may feel, unless toe. much exerc ise has been
previously taken, in which case, remove the
damp clothing, retire Immediately to bed,
cover very warm and put warm bricks or 6st
irons to the feet so as to create warmth in {
very short time. Before and during tho con.
tinuanee Of exercise, a person may drink
cold water, but never Immediately on ceasing
fr ON exercise, howeyerthirsty,

TWO EGGS ADAY.


In the fall Of 1862, we bought two Black
Spanish hens. One very handsome bird
the other nothing to brag Of in looks. Du-
ring the spring summer and fall of 1858, the
beauty many times laid two eggs a day. If
she missed laying one day, she always laid
two eggs thenext and sometimes, but rarely;
she laid the Two eggs after having laid the day
before. The two eggs a day did not have any
effect upon the subsequent production. and
do not remember as there was any instance
Of omission the day after the unusual pro-
duct Before being convinced, / went to her
nest several times late in the evening, to see
if she had not laid very late, and thus made
the seeming improbability. Bat beyond all
doubt and cayii, it was two eggs a day.
So much for the fact But beautiful and
extraordinary as she was, she was the most
vicious bird ] ever saw. Ia the winter and
spring Of 1883 we feared some nc's disease
was brea iing out among the hens. TIER
heads aad necks, with the exception Of 'he
ma5s bird and one or two 9th ers. weie per
lecty bare-and as it grew warmer, feathers
beeaa 10 grow scarcer in the flock. Miss
Beauty was not suspected Of any evil, as she
wolld not mate with any Of bhe hens-not
elen the Black Spanish, and was always sol
.tary and alone, as mot Of them
Midsummer found a positive rebellion
among the meek biddies. The male bird
would catch Mias Beauty, ifhe could, utter his
shrill call, and every hen would fly and do
her utmost to reduce Miss Beauty to q naked
ness complete as her own. The battle would
generally call some superior intelligence to
the rescue. After The war broke out, the
other hens feathered out in usual plumage and
decency. We never saw them plucked, and
it appeared as if it must have been done on
the roost but the retaliation pointed more
than suspicion at the offender.
l will not pretend to say what effect war
times" might have had upon the affair, but
for peace's sake, in November we gave her
away, and not behaving any better in her
new home, she seon went 'to pot.
The aboyeis the only hen | ever knew that
did 'lay two eggs a day. "-Nassaehusetts

CATTLE GNAwING BOARDS.

writer in the Neic England Farmer says;
Your correspondent in Maine, Mr.. McIn-
tire, wants to know the remedy for cattle eat
ing boards bones, &C. For some time
have hoped some one would reply, because I
am not accustomed to writing for newspapers;
but as my husband has been troubled for a
number of years in this way with his cattle,
will attempt to give you his experience.
Some years ago our cattle would gnaw every
board that they could get at, and the cows
especially would even gnaw the bottom out
Of the pals they fed in, if not at once taken
away. This unnatural appetite seemed to
dry up the cows. and my husband sold a
number after they got so as to give but little
milk, ''because,' as he said ''they would
gnaw the barn down" When they went TO
other barns they quit their gnawing, and pro-
we'd to be good cows. Three years ago last
January he bought COW that was recon-
mended to be good mixer. He had not
had her week before she began to gnaw
every piece ofboard that she could find. The
next summer she gave only abouteight quarts
of milk day. he bought bone meal and
chalk, but she would not eat them. After l
made soap the next April-two years ago
he took the bones that were boiled soft, and
put them in a box close by the water trough
in the barnyard. She helped herself to them
and eat very freely, and soon began to gain
in milk and although she was farrow, she
gave as much milk as she did the year before.
In September she began TO gnaw boards a
little again. As the soap were gone, my hus-
band went aud dug up the bones of a horse
he had buried, and boiled them in lye until
he could pound them up fine, and these were
put in the same box. AS long as we keep
soft bones within their reach, our cattle do
not gnaw boards. AS long as they show a
disposition to gnaw boards they invariably
grow poor, while they gain in flesh when that
appetite is appeased

RAW MEAT AND SPIRITS TO CURE CoNsUNP-
TIoN.-An English paper prints the following:
F. Fuster proposes to cure all cases Of con
sumption by the administration of raw meat
and spirits. Although his method Of treat
ment has not long been employed by Cont
Mental physicians, considerable testimony has
been borne to the great success which
has attended its employment. The new treat
ment has now been tried satisfactorily in two
thousand cases Of phthisic. The raw meat is
reduced to pulp, mixed with sugar to conceal
its unpleasant flavor, and administered in do
ses Of one hundred to three hundred grammea
per day. The alchohol tof the Strength Of
