winters, the problem involves some mil
lions Of dollars to Tennessee farmers alone,
whether this animal warmth is obtained in
a proper or improper manner. When an
animal grows poor in cold weather, It does
SO by burning its flesh and blood to keep
warm. Withour internal combustion an
animal would have the same temperature as
that of the surrounding atmosphere. The
colder the air, the more food, blood, fat and
flesh must be consumed TO maintain any
standard Of heat many mass of living mat
ter. A COW, or other brute out in a cold
rain, burns part Of its blood needlestly to
supply heat lost in converting some of this
rain into vapor. In expanding into gas,
water absorbs prodigious amount Of ami
NAL heat which becomes latent.
Hence nothing makes stock look
worse, or feel worse, than to be out in a
driving snow storm, or cold rain. 1t ab-
serbs, and burns the flesh from their bones
to preserve them from that degree Of cold
which is death. To burn one pound of
carbon in the blood or muscles of farm
stock in this way, or in cold, open stable
or shed, is equivalent to burning ten
pounds of dry sound corn to keep a cow,
mule, or other animal, warm. One might
almost swear on the Bible that thousands
of intelligent men work hard all summer to
raise corn, put it into cribs, on pupose to
feed /: out, burn it and waste the heat, as
we have stated, in feeble attempt to warm
all out doors! All such labor in raising
grain, fodder and other forage for stock Is a
little worse than working for Ianother man
for nothing, and boarding yourself; for
then you would wear out bis corn-felds,
and not your own. Burning bacon for
irewood looks extravagant; but it is no more
extavagant than to reduce the
weight of stock hogs by some starving,
and a good deal of other bad treatment. 1t
often happens that the flesh which cold
weather spares, lice take. These parasites
do great injury on some farms where good
deal of blood is burnt for fuel, and some
times not little fat. A little sulphur fed
regularly in meal, will generally make lice
leave the herd. Hogs should have access
to s mixture Of salt and ashes. All ami
mails require warm and dry quarters.

FARM AND GARDEN.
WATER As PLANT FOoD.

Ali the organic compounds found In
plants and animals abound in either one or
both of the constituents of water, called
oxygen and hydrogen. To form wood, or
pure woody fiber, % equivalents of water
are incorporated with II Of carbon. When
forest trees and smaller plants grow, carbon
(the substance that forms coal when wood
is charred) is derived from the air. There
exists in the atmosphere heavy gas called
caroonic acid gas, which has one atom of
carbon combined chemically with two
atoms Of oxygen. To obtain II atoms of
carbon to unite with % of water to form
wood, 70 equivalents or atoms of oxygen
are set free. Hence vital air (oxygen) is
largely increased in the atmosphere by
the growth of trees and all vegetables.
In burning wood, as the hydrogen and
oxygen are equal, no new combination
takes place, and no heat comes from either.
But the same amount of oxygen that for
merly existed in combination with carbon,
in the form of carbonic acid gas, burns the
wood, discharges heat and transforms q
solid into an invisible gas. Every pound
Of hydrogen assimilated from water in wax,
resin and the green principle in the leaves
Of plants, discharges $50 cubic feet of oxy-
gen gas into the atmosphere. Hydrogen
consumed in forming starch, sugar, oil,
gums, and many acids, is derived
from water. When any of these, or
alcohol is burnt, water is produced.
1t is easy to make wheat, corn and cotton
grow and mature seed in pounded glass;
obtaining all their pourishment from water
and air. A fair crop takes about 1000
pounds of carbon per acre from the atmos-
pierre by one years growth, and sets free
865 pounds of oxygen.
All leading facts relating to water, air,
plants and animals ought to be generally
known; and they may be learnt a little at a
time through the newspaper without incon-
venience. There are not only many springs
of water giving rise to brooks, creeks and
rivers, to irrigate and fertilize continents,
but springs of carbonic acid. Bischof estl-
Inmates those near Coblenz as discharging
into the atmosphere 10000 pounds every
day. 1t is the principal gas in the mineral
water at Saratoga springs. The air We
breathe contains about one part of carbonic
acid.to $500. The air expelled from the
lungs in breathing has one part of this
heavy, poisonous gas in 25-or just 100
times more than common pure air. Hence
the importance of ventilating sleeping
rooms and factories.

MILK THE STANDARD FOOD.

DR.. Prout, an able chemist and physiolo-
gist, makes milk the standard of all food
for nutrition. 1t has in its curd, elements
that form readily brain, nerve, bone and
muscle. In its sugar and butter are found
hydrocarbons that burn readily in the
system and easily support animal heat
through respiration. II also contains about
S73 per cent. of pure water, which is quite
as useful as food, and pure air for breathing
purposes. In limestone districts it is often
injurious TO health to drink hard, calcareous
water, however clear and cold, from lime
to rock; but COW drinking such water
yields soft, pure water in her milk,
because these injurious earthly
salts escape from her system by the kind
neys, and not by the udders. Milk little
sour, or as butter milk, is water in the best
form TO drink for health. Sugar in milk
turns to Tactic acid, which is a little milder
than vinegar obtained from the pure
juice of the grape, or apple. Curds and
cream eaten with, or without sugar, have
greater value as nutriment than is gene
rally believed. 1t is doubtful whether the
usefulness of the cow in her best condition
is ss well understood now as it was
by Abraham and Lot. Milk is a
wonderful arrangement to take in
definite gallons Of healthy blood
from the COW and transfer it at once
into the veins Of men, women and children,
with very small labor on the part OF man
or the COW. Some COWS give from fifteen
to twenty quNrts of milk day that comes
directly from their blood. Here is won
derful machine for the production of avail
able blood in quantity. The young of all
the mammalia, whether colts, calves, lambs,
pigs or children, grow rapidly and in vigor-
Gus health on plenty Of maternal milk.
1t is natures plan of grating the mature
strength and life of one generation into
the system of new and a younger
generation, that vital powers and
functions may go on unimpaireds appa-
rently, forever. Food that builds up the
bones, muscles, nerves, and all INTERNAL
organs of childhood and youth, so perfectly
and 30 naturally, should be cultivated and
provided with the greatest care and atten-
ton. Milk is liquifed flesh and bone in a
seminal state; and the learned DR.. Prout
was wise in making it the standard of hu-
man food.

In speaking of the extraordinary rapidity with
which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters recruit de-

is usually referred to as a vegetable tonic of
marvellous power. But those who suppose that

the digestive organs, little understand the true
nature of this comprehensive remedy. 1t is not
only a tonic, but also gentle laxative, an active
anti-bilious medicine, a mild diuretic, a whole
some eXhilarant, a regulator, and general
Alternative 1t is TO this combination of many
essential sanitary properties that the article
owes its success in variety of distressing COM
plants, each of which in ordinary pra 'tice is

is impossible to invigorate feeble and diseased
organization without regulating and purifying
it. The Bitters do both.

From the New York Sun.
Mr.. Alden B. Stockwell, the President of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, over
whose affairs rumor has been very busy in
the money mart and club-houses during
the past few days, or since the CompAny's
stock began to depreciste, is one of the
most prominent Spectators in Wall
street. Although comparatively unknown
outside of financial circles, he is a
central figure among the millionaires on
Change. Within the short space of three
years be has presented an example of pc
cuniary success far exceeding the expecta-
tons Of the most sanguine worshippers Of
Mammon. From ordinary circumstance
be has risen to be the possessor of fabulous
wealth, and to share with Jay Gould and
Henry n. Smith the reputation of being
the most wealthy among the entire opera
tors on the street. His deeds of monetary
daring having been numerous and note
worthy, and have been conducted on scale
of greater magnitude than those of the vet
Grams on the stock market, like Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and Uncle Daniel Drew,
ever dreamed of undertaking.
Mr.. StocEwell is of humble parentage
his father being at one time in the livery
stable business in Cleveland, Ohio, where
the great steamship manager was born.
He is about twenty-five years of age. The
turning point in his career, which had pre-
vlously been quiet and uneventful, occur
red in 1865, while he was acting as Purser
on one of the Potomac River boats. On
one of the vessels trips down the river from
Washington, the late Elias Howe, of Con-
necsicut, the distinguished inventor of the
sewing machine, was passenger, with his
eldest daughter in his company. Young
| Stockwen was very attentive and consider
ate of the comfort of Mr.. and Miss Howe.
and extended more than the customary
courtesies TO them. The ACQUAINTANCE

New York Money Market.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The course of
speculation on the stock exchange was in
fuenced largely by Washington kilograms
relative to the reissue Of a part ofthe reserve
legal tenders. The early dealings in spec
ulative shares showed decline of 1a02
per cent, the greatest fall being in Panama,
Harlem, Pacific Mail and Rock Island. The
election of Boutwell, for Senator and the
probable appointment of Richardson as his
successor checked the downward move
ment and caused temporary frmness
and recovery in the shares
which had suffered the greatest
decline, the upward movement being
strengthened by the knowledge that the
Treasury had encroached upwards of mil
lion on its reserve. Later portion Of the
advance was lost on the announcement
that the total reissue is not likely to exceed
three millions, and will be replaced as soon
as possible, but the market though dull
