Fer the Enquirer. Do Cows Run Down our Farms.

!
 EDITOR ESouRER:-The above question is of vast importance to the farmers of Litchfeld County. I keep . dairy and am often told that cows will impoyerish my farm. Now how shall we know the truth of this assertion, unless We investigate the subject, and get all the light We can upon it. I have been informed by good au- thority (from man in Goshen, east street, ] and one that has kept g large dairy many years, that only about two-t thirds the cows or cattle can be kept in that street, that were twenty years ago. I think he esti- mates the number to be 1O0head less than formerly. Now if this is so, why is it? Can any one inform us. Several years ago was visiting in Berkshire county, Mass, In the family of Dea. Sylvester Jones, of Sandisheld. He was one of the most can- did and patient men I ever saw, he was about % years old and said he was born and brought up on that old homestead, but could not stay on it many years longer for the farm was running out. asked him the cause of it. He replied that he could not tell, only that it was so. The meadows, he said, did not cut one-hali the grass they used to, and were running into hard-hacks; pastures, the same. ] asked what stock had been on the farm for the most part he said cows mostly, one horse, one yoke oxen, and few sheep; formerly large dairy, diminishing with the capacity of the farm. The Deacon does not live there now. but has nice and productive farm in another place. have hsen on many farms in Goshen, and seem to be running down, hard-hack and white bush growing in punches and in some cases all over the field, I have seen the same in other places to some extent. take Goshen as criterion for the dairy business. It has long been considered the greatest dairy town in this part of the State Goshen cheese has become bye word ill all the land. can remember seeing large loads Of cheese from that town passing along in single file toward the New Haven market, and we are quite sure ha&many, and most of the older far. mera in that town became rich in the dai- " business, but have their farms become rich as i'll other places where different stock has been kept? Now write this for information, hoping to hearfrom those that have had a lifetime of experience in the business, as l am keeping q dairy, and would wish to increase it az the capacity of my fara increases, but my 5eef tat. tentRg neighbors tell mo that my farm will go the other way, if keep only COWS. have long had the impression that COWS, alone, impoverish farm q dare not say i a word about horsesJ. this IS so, VII those that have had experience reply, anG tell us why it is SO? Litchfeld County if the best dairy county in the State, and ] think will compare favorably with Her. kimer County, \. Y. The milk business is fast becoming the great business of this county. Can we safely keep it up and keep our farms growing better, as we should. do not sell milk. I think it worth more to manufacture at home. We like butter, cream, and pork in our house at all times.

SUESTROKE.
Its Prevention and Treatment.

The gradual frightening of the range
of the thermometer and the occasional re-
port of case of sunstroke, remind US un-
pleasantly that the plague of our hot sum-
mers and close cities is upon us, and sug-
gests that we take the proper precautions
for its prevention and understand some
thing of its proper treatment. A knowl-
edge of its rational treatment should be
possessed by all, for the disease is often so
rapidly fatal that the patient not unfre-
quently dies before medical aid can be had.
The following extract from an able article
by DR.. III. G.. Wood, in LippincoH for July
contains much valuable information on
the subject and should be carefully read by
all those who are exposed to intense heat /:
"There should in such cases be no wait
ing for the doctor. The remedy is SO simple
and the death so imminent that the good
Samaritan passing should save his brother.
The good Samaritan must, however, have
a cool head to be useful. Not every man
that falls unconscious on a summers day
has sunStroke. There is, fortunately, one
criterion so easy of application that any
one may use it. Go at once to the fallen
man, open his shirt bosom and lay your
hand upon his chest; if the skin be cool
you may rest assured, that whatever else
may be the trouble, it is not sunstrOke. If
on the contrary, the skin be burning hot,
the case is certainly sunstrOke and no time
should be lost. The patient must be carried
to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped
to his waist, and bucketful after bucketful
Of cold water dashed over him until con-
sciousness begins to return or the intense

''There is an old and homely saying that
an ounce of preventive is worth pound
of cure, q saying which though thread
bare with its centuries of daily use, still
holds together as firmly as when first
knit If the abstraction of heat is the true
cause for suntroke, it is also the true pre-
ventive. Do not let the heat accumulate
in the body, When duty forces one into
exposure to heat there are various meas
ures that ought to be adopted. The cloth
ing should be light and whitish in color
and fit loosely. Flannel is probably, on
the whole the best material. A rOomy,
wide brimmed porous hat should be used,
and in the crown of it may be placed a wet
towel or large handkerchief Water
should be freeley used, externally and inter-
naly. Very close to the surface of the
wrist rises large artery, the radial, and
the old custom of allowing cold water to
run over the wrist, no doubt owes its value
to the fact that so much blood is brought
almost in contact with the cooling water.
Sweating is natures great refrigerative
and to keep up this, large quanti-
ties of water should be drunk, not too cold,
but without stint-quarts if the thirst crave
it. Keep sweating and you are probably
not in Immediate danger; but when on a
July or August day,a mans head begins to
throb and the surface grows dry and hot,
whilst Unwonted lassitude and restlessness
come on, as he values his life let him leave
his work, however imperative, and take at
once a cold bath.

Signs of PrOSnerify.

In every portion of our city we notice new
buildings going up, either for dwellings or
stores. In East Knoxville we notice several:
in North Knoxville two or three; in Mechan-
icSville, we could see one from Broad street.
and doubtless more were beyond our view; on
Broad street, between Asylum and Reservoir
streets, two beautiful residences are being erect
ed on Crooked street, fine brick dwelling is
going up; on Reservoir street. another nice
frame building is rising from the ground on
Gay street the large and beautiful building of
Mr. Staub; and so on most every street in the
city, where there is room for Improvement, new
buildings are going up. This speaks well for the
future prosperity of our city, and we trust the
good work will continue Capital could be well
invested by building small houses, such as me-
chanics can afford to rent at from SO to SIS per
month, and money so invested would bring a
larger interest than by building more expensive
structures. We do not wish to be understood as
opposed to fine buildings; by no means Let
them go up by the hundreds. But buildings of
the above mentioned quality are greatly in de-
mand, while they can be built with but little
capital, and viii pay good interest on the money
invested
