Keep up the Flow Of Milk.

A drouth in summer, scorching the
pastures, drying the streams, parching
the land far and near, is great calamity,
and none feels IL quicker than the dairy.
man. The provident farmers have made
provision for any such occurrence, by
putting in corn or sorghum, or other
green fodder crops, which will afford an
abundance Of excellent forage for long
time, and IL not thus used, will furnish
dry fodder for winter feeding. Corn, il
only well cured, is second in value only
TO good meadow hay Of mixed grasses.
Wherever it is possible, the practice Of
"taking up" the cows every night, stall
ing or yarding them and feeding green
fodder, or All equivalent, is advisable. A
little oil cake meal, or cottage seed-cake
meal, or Indian meal fed daily at this
time makes itself very profitably felt in
the milk pail, or in the butter tub.
AS soon, at any rate, as the least undue
diminutiOn in the quantity of milk is
noticed, accuratS observations ought TO
be made daily, measures ought at once
be taken to keep up the flow. Farmers
arc SO much in the habit OF letting cows
fall off in milk during the summers
drouth, that unless they almost dry up,
many would regard it as only the natural
course of things. If, however, they have
constantly full feed during the first four
or five months after calving, the falling
off should he very small. Ii the cows

When the one or two fighters or "bull-

the rest will be quiet enough, and de-
cidedly better return for the feed may be
expected. The yards ought to have fod-
der racks, so that the feed will not be
wasted. The amount Of feed to he pro-
vided for the cows, and the time to take
them up will depend very much upon the
condition of the pasture.

A HUMAN BoDY AND THE HoUR OF
DAY.-Scat yourself at table. Attach
piece of metal, say a ten cent piece, to
a thread. Having placed your elbow on
a table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and fore finger, and
allow the shilling to hang in the center
of glass tumbler. The pulse will i'm
mediately cause the shilling to vibrate
like pendulum, and the vibrations will
increase until the silver piece strikes the
side OF the glass; aud suppose the time
OF the experiment be at the hour OF seven.
or half-past seven, the pendulum will
strike the glass seven times, and then
lose its momentum and return to the CEN
ter; and if you hold the thread suf-
ficient length of time, the effect will be
repeated, but not until a sufficient length
of time has elapsed TO convince you that
the experiment is complete. We need
not add that the thread must be held
with a steady hand, otherwise the vibrat
ing motion would be contracted. AT
whatever hour of the day or night the
experiment Is made, the coincidence will
be the same.

COURTEOUS REPLY TO AN INFIDEI.-
An American traveller being unexpect-
edly detained at the mole of quarantine
in Odessa, was very civily offered "half
OF his apartments and sofa to lie on"
by young Englishman who acted as
translator TO the mole. After they had
formed an intimate acquaintance, and
had one evening retired to rest, the tray
eler asked his friend how he could en-
dure the blasphemy which was so con-
stantly heard. The young Englishman
replied that, "as gentleman, these
things We're disagrecable to him, but as
to their being intrinsically wrong, it was
a matter OF no concern to him, as he
denied the truth of all revelation, an6
believed Jesus Christ to be an impostor."
The traveller, supposing that the re-
mark would not be needed except by
courtesy, replied, "either Christ was an
impostor or he was not. If he was an
impostor, we have the inconceivable
phenomenon of a base man practicing
virtue, self-denial, charity, forgiveness Of
injuries through his whole life, in spite
OF scourging, contumely, and even cruci-
fixion. is 1t philosophical to suppose
that bad man would take so much
pains to make men good? But if he
was not an impostor, then he told the
truth, aud we must believe him."
SIS it is possible that l never saw that
before 7" was the only reply Of the young
man; but the argument sunk deep into
his heart, and when the traveller had AZ
rived at Alexandria, he received letter
from the former skeptic acknowledging
him as the 'best friend he ever had," en-
couraglng him to be equally faithful to
others, and praying him not to forget
"his Odessa convert"

Here is bit of information in regard
to the Currant Worm which, if true, is
worth many dollars to our readers and
as it costs nothing to try it, we hope those
who have currant brushes will do so,
and give us report. At the Horticul-
tural exhibition in Rochester last week,
several gentlemen stated that the currant
worm would not disturb the bushes un-
der which coal ashes were literally sprin-
kled. In confirmation of this a cores
pondent of the Express Of that city, says:
''That to prevent the current slug on
eurrant bushes, persons have only to
mulch thoroughly all over the ground
under the bushes with anthracite coal
ashes. This should be done late in the
autumn or early in the spring of the
year, before the bushes leave out, as the
worm that feeds on the leaves after It's
growth, drops off and goes into the earth
Immediately under the bushes. The
grub, when it comes up to change into a
fly, cannot make its ways through the
coarse, sharp, gritty ash heap, and per.
ishes there. Thus far my bushes are un-
molested by fly or slugs this year, while
last year they were almost stripped OF
their leaves by slugs. An easy and cheap
remedy surely" -'.. a ta'-l
