THE BROOK.

Up IN Wild, where few men come to look.

Fours its life-burden of unlistened song,

And hear afar the rivers gloriousIy
Shout on their paths toward the shining sea!
Inc Voiceful rivers, chanting to the sun,

ayrshire COW

It is now the uniform testimony of all
Southern breeders of the improved
breeds of cattle that the Ayrshires are
best adapted to the uses of the Southern
farmer. The short horn, or Durham,
is too large and unwieldy to endure the
heat of our climate, while the AIdernay,
or Jersey, is too small for the produc-
ton of working oxen, and for beef pro-
duction. The Ayrshire is of a size in
termediate been those two breeds, and
Tor the production Of large quantities of
milk IS unequaled by any other known
breed. Their milk is not equal to that

Shaken Constitntions.

General debility, and the dependency by which
it is invariably accompanied, are often regarded
as the symptoms of iucurabte physical decay. OF
persons thus afflicted it is often said that their con-
situations are undermined; that they have nothing
to fall back upon; that they are hopeless cases.
This in least eight instances cut Of ten is false
conclusion. A constitution may be shaken without
being undermined: and even if undermined, may
be propped and strengthened; and in many so
called hopeless cases there reserves Of vitality

of the Attorney in the production of
butter, considering the quality and the
quantity of yield per gallon, but far
surpasses that of the common breeds of
the country in both these requisites in a
good COW. The production of milk by
these COWS, when afforded suitable feed,
IS enormous. There have been many
cases of a yield of eight to ten gallons
per day for months in succession, and
there are well authenticated instances
of still greater yield.
It is very desirable to the farmer to
grow cattle that will not only produce
milk in large supply, that viii afford
butter of good quality, but viii also
furnish good beef, and produce spright-
ly oxen of fair size and handsome
form. In the Ayrshire are found all
these essentials Of a good breed. Their
form is beautiful; their speed in the
yoke is equal to that of the Devon, which
has always been regarded as exeelling
in this particular, while the beef pro-
duct, when its quality has been tested
with that of the great beef-producing
short-horn, has been found equal in
flavor to that renowned flesh Mr.. F.
D. Curtis, at a meeting of the New York
Farmers Club, held on the Doth of
November past, says of this breed:
81 thought every one knew that the
Ayrshire is the best stock for milk; they
have been tested for over a hundred
years in all countries, and have proven
best for that purpose. I have fed them
side by side with other breeds, and they
have come through the winter more
hardy. 1 have tried them for beef, and
they are, in my opinion, frst-class; but
few of them have been slaughtered in
this country, because they are too valu-
able for dairy purposes. I have been
myself surprised to see how fat accum-
ulates on them when they are kept up. "
For the dairy, these COWS are admitted
on all hands to be unequalled. It is
surprising that our dairymen who sup
ply the large cities and towns of GeOr-
gia and other Southern States, have not
turned their attention to this breed for
the improvement of our native stock in
the milk product. A grade between the
two breeds, by procuring the thorough
bred Ayrshire bull calves, would be a
very great improvement, and not very
expensive in the accomplishment.
These calves, of the proper age for
transportation to this country, can be
procured of northern breeders at from
fifty to a hundred dollars. The expense
of transportation, when boxed for con-
veyance by the ordinary freight routes,
is from twenty to thirty dollars, accord
ing to the distance conveyed. Several
farmers or dairymen can unite to adj
vantage in procuring such animals fO1
| joint use, and thus reduce the cost to
each to a very moderate sum. If we
were in the dairy business, we would
sell a portion of the stock on hand, il
necessary, in order to effect so desirable
an improvement in the remainder.

DISCUSSING the subject of fire-proof
buildings, the Oondon) Engineer, a
good authority, says ''The only way
to construct a building which shall be
as near fre-proOf as is possible to reject
iron, both cast and wrought, as a con-
structive material, except for doors, and
to revert to the use of brick floors, sup
ported by grained arches on brick pill
lars. But such buildings are at once
enormously expensive, and to the last
degree unhandy.' 1t also observes that
although it is easy to make building
fire-proof, it is usually impracticable to
have its ordinary contents fire-prof, and
this is the reason why sO-called fire.
proof mills and stores are often burned
down.
A COMPANY has just been formed in
Italy for working some of the numerous
peat deposits in that country. A ma
chine recently patented by Signor Moro
is to be used for COMPRISING the peat,
and is stated to have given excellent re-
suits at some trials recently made
at Florence; and the fuel manufactured
on this system has been used extensively
by the Alta Italia Railway Company !;
and as compared with English coal a
saving of 40 per cent is effected. It is
possible that American inventors of
peat-compressing machines may now
find an opportunity to introduce their
inventions into Italy.

4 CATS DREAM.

Animals, especially the dog, cat, and
parrot, often indulge in the luxury of
dreams. A correspondent of Land and
Water tells the following anecdote of
cat T.:
She was very still, and appeared to
be fast asleep, when suddenly she
sprang into the middle of the room,
where she fixed her feet on a limited
spot on the floor, to which also her nose
was applied, as if closely grasping some
thing she held in her claws. This con-
tinued FOR a short time, when the nose
was gently raised, and the visible atten-
ton was directed to the feet, which still
continued their grasp; but after time
one of them was gradually removed,
and then the other, at which puss APP
peared greatly at a loss to imagine
whether the imaginary object could
have gone, so as to escape her grasp
She looked in various directions along
the floor, with a foolish face of con-
fusion; and then again her attention
was directed to the spot on which the
feet were closely pressed, as if to ex-
anime closely whether the presumed
escape had been by sinking through
| the floor; and when this seemed
unsatisfactory, the disappointed animal,
now widely awake, retired slowly from
the spot; but she returned more THAI
once to re-examine the place, as if she
found it impossible to comprehend how
an object she had so plainly seen and
grasped should have sank into nothing.
Many minutes elapsed before the cat
| appeared to be reconciIed to the con-
viction that what had been dream was
not in truth a reality"

THE COLORADO DESERT As AN IS
LAND.


Could the Colorado desert be again
filed with water? It is an interesting
question. From the Gulf of California
it is probably an impossibility. The
gradual sitting up of the old gulf-bed
at the mouth of the river, and the drift
of sand by the wind, have interposed a
barrier too extensive to be easily re-
moved. By turning the Colorado river
into the desert it might be accomplished.
The project has for years been discussed
of taking enough water from the river
to irrigate strength of fertile land, al
luvial deposit, found at the southern
end of the desert; but the idea of going
further than this, of diverting the river
into the desert and forming a large
fresh-water lake, seems never to have
been preached Nature, unassisted, is
now attempting this. The drift of sand,
through the prevailing western wind,
drift has kept the river walled in upon
the east side of the valley, and has APP
parently constantly forced it further in
that direction.
Could that desert be refiIled with
water-cOnverted from dry, hot sand
to an inland lake-the very heat which
is reflected from the barren mountain
sides around would be power of good
instead of evil. The constant evapora-
ton would render heat latent which is
now active, thus lowering the annual
temperature very perceptibly. This
lowering of temperature alone, even if
unaccompanied by an increase of mois-
ture in the air, would give a greater
rainfall by the more perfect condensa-
ton which it would cause. But the
evaporation from the surface of the lake
would materially augment the supply
of vapOr in the rain-currents, thus act
ing in a double manner, a decrease of
temperature and an increase of moisture
for precipitation. These rain-currents
would also meet with less difficulty in
making their way against the ocean
winds-as these winds, caused largely
by the heat of the desert, would be less
violent-and would, therefore, with
more certainty and regularity deposit
their supply of moisture over the plains
of Los Angeles, San Barnardino, and
San Diego. When it is considered that
every additional inch of rain is worth
millions of dollars to these southern
countries, the value of such change
in quantity and certainty of fall may be
readily appreciated.-OUerl Monthly.
THE pottery manufactures of North
Staffordshire recently locked OUT
from 10000 to 10000 of their work
people because they demanded change
in the present basis of payment. Those
who had hitherto been paid for work
which bore the test of the oven desired
to be paid upon what they did that
would bear an inspection after it left
their hands and before it had been sub
mitted to the action of heat, the matter
resolving itself into a "good from
hand" versus a good from oven" con-
test. The workpeople finally agreed to
submit to the Board Of Arbitration, and
the lockout was declared to be at an
end.
