Selecting Cows.

A VERMONT stock raiser gives the fol-
lowing rules for selecting COWS -" First,
l get broadside view of the animal, at
the distance of about two rods, as have
noticed for years that there was great
similarity in the general proportion of all
first-class mixers, being very small in
girth Just back of their forward legs, as
compared with their girth just forward
of their hips | have never known first
rate mixer, af any breed, not thus pro-
portioned; so that if this form is wanting
in an animal have recommended to me,
| do not care to look at her more, unless
| want to breed for some other purpose
than the dairy. For breeding oxen
should want q COW of reverse proper
tions, /. e., larger girth forward l next
feel the size ol the milk veins, and trace
them to their entrance into the chest,
which, in superior cows, are large, ad-
mitting the ball of the larger finger; if
divided, or subdivided, as is sometimes the
case, Judge of the size of each oritice, as
| care less for the size of the
vein itself than the oridce. Next
examine by sight or touch the udder
or bag, which must be capacious in order
to hold much milk, with teats wide apart
and free from large seed warts or sores of
any kind. ! then inquire how long she
goes dry before calving, as don't want q
family cow to give milk less than forty-siX
weeks out of every fifty-two; also, as to
the quality of the milk; and, to close, |
milk her with my own hands"

Raising Tomatoes.


HARDLY q year passes but the different
agricultural and horticultural journals
contain one or more articles on the cult.
vatlon Of the tomato. If you want them
for early market, the seed should be
planted In hot.bed, about the 20th Of
February In the latitude of Chicago 90
central Illinois, but if much farther north
not before the tst 10 the 10th Of March.
When they are two inches high, trans.
plant them In n new bed three inches
apart, and when they cover the ground,
transplant again (still under glass) six or
eight inches apart. Grow them as slowly
as possible; the night temperature not
much below 80 degrees, the day tempera.
ture go to 80 degrees.
Transplant into the open air when al
danger Of frost Is over and the ground is
warm, say from the 25th Of May to june
LIST, five feet apart, upon ridges or broad
hills. Do not put them on trellses, unless
you are curious TO see how much bushe
Of tomatoes might cost, but let them rur
upon brush, or something To keep them of
the ground, If II is heavy soil.
Cultivate we'll pinching off stragglinf
shoots from time to time, and you will
have early tomatoes and good ones
Eureka and Keyes are good early sorts
and Large Red or Valencia Red are gooC
late sorts If they are simply for house
hold use, you may safely wait until Marcl

The Mosquito.

UNDER the microscope he displayed
such infinite beauty that one could for
give, for his sake, AL the tortures his race
have brought. His wings are a texture
infinitely more complex and delicate than
the finest fabric human hands ever wOve
They are barred and branched like leaves,
with vessels for nourishing fluids, and
fringed witha llossy down which might
drive a silkworm mad with envy. His
long thighs, too, have their muscles COW
cred with hair, to which that of baby is
an enormous cable. His head is almost
covered with two enormous eyes, each of
them made up of myriads of little mirrors,
facing every way; and, just between
them, and fianked by two long, curious,
and delicate teeers, is his proboscis.
This is that which makes him what he
is; it is the mosquito. 1t is prodigiously
long; perhaps sixth Of an inch, but all
this living comes through it, The won,
der of it is the minuteness of its organiza'
ton, the beauty of its form and orua
ments, and above all its sharpness, The
point of the finest needle looks like the
butt of club beside it. Doubtless the
lady mosquitoes are admired and courteG
for the beauty Of their suckers and theii
wings, What pity that so much grac,
and loveliness has been rudely destroy e(

The True Medical Doctrine.

Nature, when struggling with disease, indicates
Enthusiastically the kind OF assistance she re-
quires. In cases Of nervous weakness and gen
eral debility, the feeble pulse, the lackustre eye,
the attenuated frame, the faccid muscles, the
melancholy yissge, inform us as plainly as If each
organ had tongue, that a medicated stiu,adHt Is
needed. 1t does not require the aid OF medical
education to understand this dumb appeal for new
vgor, from an exhausted system. Every reader
of these lines can comprehend It Just well as
the gradAates of a physicians college. Let not
this demand Of enGsebled nature be neglected
Resp ond to 1t promptly by commencing course
of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, a pre-
paration uniting, in their highest excellence, the
properties OF q sTIMULANT, an ISvIGoRANr, and
an Alternative Before three days have elapsed +,
from the taking of the first dose, marked bene-
fcial change will he manifest in the bodily and
mental condition OF the patient. The pu-sc will
be stron ger and more reg ular, the eye will begin
to lose its dull expression, the muscular and
nervous ystems to recover their tension and the
spirits to improve Persevere, and a complete
revivi1cation of the depressed animal and mental
powers is certain. In of dyspepsia and bill
| iousness, the came salutary results will be OH
| tanned. The appetite will revive, the sallOwness
| of the skin disappear, and all the distressing
| symptoms which accompany disorders OF the
| stomach and liver, will rapidly subside. The
hCold of winter often inteIsfes these complaints
T by checking the perspiratory action, by which Sc
| much morbid matter is evaporated through The
| pores In milder weather, and therefore the BIT
| TIERS are especially useful to the dyspeptic anC
| bilious at this season.

Food and Shelter for Cows.

SOME years ago farmer, of our own ac-
quaintance, found himself in possession,
at the coming in of winter, of thirty-two
cows, with only stable room enough for
ten of the number The balance were
consigned to an open shed, with rack
running along the enclosed side, and fed
with hay alone. Those in the stable, in
addition to hay, had about quart of
Indian meal a day each, till the approach
of spring, when they ceased to be MIXED.
Besides this, they were thoroughly carded,
each morning, before being turned into the
yard for the day-an attention which those
outside did not enjoy. Some said that
feeding meal would stop the flow of milk,
by giving too much flesh to the animals,
but no such result followed. The cows
continued in excellent health, supplied a
fair quantity of rich milk and were alto
gether in better condition, in the spring,
than those wintered in the open shed.
The meal undoubtedly had something to
do with the difference, but not more, per
haps, than was caused by the daily carding
to which the stabbed stock were subjected.

Eject or Bright Red on Animals.

WE have never been able to arrive at a
solution of the curious effects of the sight
of scarlet or brilliant orange or crimson
on some animals No treatise on natural
history we ever have seen gives satisfac
tory explanation Of facts which must often
have been noticed by the most unobserv-
ant An exchange says:
Many persons have unquestionsbly lost
their lives in consequence of wearing arti-
cles of dress which provoked domesticat-
ed animals TO such pitch of fury as TO
lead TO melancholy results Females, for
example, in attempting to cross a pasture,
wearing red shawl, red covering for
the head, n scarlet dress, flowing scarlet
ribbons, where bulls are grazing, hazard
their lives. Oxen, otherwise peaceably
disposed, become intensely infuriated at
some seasons 10y the sight of bright red
handkerchiels, or almost any article of
female dress of that particular hue 1t is
equally curious that turkeys manifest the
same restlessness and ultimate excitement
at red flags or red dresses. The turkey
cock on such occasions assumes extraordi
nary dignity, gobbling most uproariously
and creating an immense excitement in his
family, not accustomed to the sight. Near

Providing Fuel.

THOSE who live on farms embracing a
good section of timber land, and use wood
instead of coal for fuel, should improve the
season OF frost and snow for filling their
wood-sheds with fuelfor years use. No
portion of a farmers buildings pays better
or is more convenient than one for storing
wood. II need not be built specially for
the purpose, but with little extra expense
can be made capable of storing many
things which are too often left in the field
or elsewhere, and, when wanted, difficult
to find. One end of the structure should
be appropriated TO wood, where it can be
piled up in the winter and ready for use as
the season advances 1t is good plan to
commence filling early in the winter, let
ting green wood occupy the place of the
dry, adding daily or weekly of green, as
the dry is used up. When the wood lot is
not too remote from the dwelling, it will be
found cheap, easy and expeditions way
to chop down the trees, clear them of
limbs and draw or snake them bodily
alongside of the wood.hOuse, aud there
chop and split them for use. When the
ground is frozen and well oiled with snow,
