NEw-YoRK CITY TAXES FOR 1870.

Few people are aware of the great differ
ence the mere process Of milking makes in
the yield of dairy COW. Many imagine
that they are good mixers when they are
really very poor ones, so far as the ability
To bring a COW to her largest possible yield
To understand how this difference can ex-
ist it must be considered that 4 large pro-
portion Of what a COW gives at any particu
lar milking, is actually secreted during the
process of milking. The milk stored up in
the milk reservoirs can be drawn by any
tolerably skillful mixer, but unless the cow
and the mixer are in sympathy, so TO speak
unless the animal is content and satisfied
with the mixer and the circumstances. the
secretion Of new supplies during the pro-
cess of milking will not take place. There
is close and intimate connection between
the nervous and secretory systems, and
this explains the fact that the COW will Of
shows also that every mixer should strive
To be on good terms with the COW he is a
bout TO milk. II he is a perfect stranger
10 her, he should take time TO gain her con-
fdence and good will by handling her gent
ly and petting her, or giving her something
She is fond OF TO eat.
We know a mixer who can increase the
flow OF milk more than quart week by
the mere difference in the mode drinking
and without the slightest change in the
food Of the animal.

CROOKED LEGS. An exchange says that
bowed legs are not caused by a baby,s be-

haSIt children have of rubbing the soles OF
the feet together. They appear TO enjoy
the contact only when the feet are nakeu !;
they don't attempt TO make il when they
are socked. II this is true, the remedy is
obvious; keep the baby's feet covered
Knock knees are ascribed by the same pa
per to different childish habit-that OF
sleeping on the side with one knee tucked
into the hollow behind the other When
one leg has been bowed inwari more than
the other. the patient has always slept on
one side. and the uppermost member has
been that most deformed. Here the pre-
ventive that suggests itself is TO be care
full every night to place the child to sleep
in different positions. Indeed. all through
life. it is well TO sleep on either side.

How TO SELECT MEATS, POULTRY &c.
The finest grained beef is the best The
flesh should be red, and the fat q light
cream color, but not yellow. The fst
should be solid and firm. The lean Of nut
ton should be red, and the fat white The
lean OF veal should be Of light color, and
the fat white. The skin Of pork should be
white. tender goose is known by raising
the wing; If the skin tears easily the goose
is tender, or If you can easily insert the
head Of pin in the flesh the goose is
young. The same remarks win hold rood
with regard to ducks. Young chickens
may be known BY pressing the lower end
of the breast bone, lift yields readily to the
pressure they are not old. In ell kinds OF
poultry the breast should be broad and
plump, the feet pliable, and the toes easily
broken when bent back.
Fish should always be perfectly fresh
when cooked. Observe the eyes, and II
they have bright life-like appearance. the
fish Is fresh; bat il the eyes are sunken and
dark-colored and have lost their brilliancy
the nsh IL certainly stale. Some judge BY
the rednees Of the gills, bat they are some
times colored to deceive customer.
