| why The nr7t q eat want of both cows and hons
Is this animal heat, without which they perish. If

pass oil rs soon Is formed all the feed is expended
m making moro heat to keep up the supply; con
sequently nothing IS left for the production Of milk
and eggs. But keep them i'll warm surroundings,
supplied with warm drinks and food, and but little
of these will be required for the production of heat
and so will go to make milk and eggs Can any
thing be palmer more beautiful: In the one
case you literally throw the fodder into the fire; in
the other you work it up into these very essential
articles OF family use.
Yet there is always propensity to abuse good
thing Now and then one goes to the other ex-
trcme, and keep the stock as they do Themselves,
too warm, especially the sheep which has warm
garments of their own; or, rather, do not provide
proper rentation. Hens and turkeys often perish
in mysterious way, it is thought, which is this:
The cXcreta Of the bird tribe is highly charged
with concentrated ammonia which is deadly to be
much inhaed this being lighter than the air rises
to the top Of the room; that if perching high in
small tight room they are poisoned and sutfocated
by this ammonia. The true rule therefore is
rooms sufficiently warm TO save as much as posi-
bic the animal heat, and 50 well ventilated ut the
top to be perfectly healthfa; the same principle
is applies to human dwellings.
We speak from some experience in these things
The hens kept as already advised IN q warm sunny
room, properly ventilated at the top, warm drinks
and food at least half the time,-are perfectly
healthy and lay as III summer. And the cows kept
in rooms that don't freeze; wen bedded never a-

Deep treasured through life, i'll my heart they

Let fortune assail me, her threat'nings are vain;
Those stl-breathing words shall my talisman

''Ihcrc's one heart unchangiug, that beats but

q PERIOD OF CESSATION. ~
3 The following table aud remarks are
extracted from an article in Bidh En-.
cwopQdia n0ys

According to the observations of NJ.
Teissier. Paris, 10 $50 mares, the short
est period was 2S7 days, and the longest
4l9, making the extraordinary differ
euce of 1872 days, and 80 days beyond
the usual term Of eleven months. The
COW usually brings forth in about nine
months, and the sheep in FIVE. Swine
usually farrow between the 120th and
140th day, being liable to variations,
influenced apparently by their size and
by their particular breeds The true
causes which abridgc or prolong more
or less the period of CESSATION in the
females of quadrupeds, and ofthe incu>
baton of birds, are unknown. In most
cases, therefore, between nine and ten
months may be assumed as the usu
p,riod of the COW, though with bull
calf the COW has generally been observed
to 70 about forty-one weeks, and fcw
days less with a female. Any calf pro
dueed at an earlier period than 26C
days, must be considered decidedly pre-
mature, and any period of CESSATION ex
ceeding 800 days must also be consider
cd irregular; but in this latter case th'
health Of the produce is not Affected
