Cold Feet.

WHY do the feet become so cold and be-
numbed? For answer we may say that
among the causes of cold feet are: tight
carriers, tight stockings, and tight shoes,
with, as the basis, sluggish. circulation
of the blood and low tone of vitality.
Tight carriers and tight shoes impede the
circulation of the blood, preventing the
warm life currents from keeping up the
natural temperature of the extremities.
Tight lacing and corsets, also, have some
thing to do with causing cold feet and a
hot head.
Wear good-sized lambs wool stockings,
or cotton if you prefer; and, instead of
using carriers, fasten the stockings to your
drawers with a loop and a button; wear
easy shoes or boots; dress the person
properly-never tiglttIy-and exercise the
body vigorously by brisk walk or a
lively run for ten or fifteen minutes, and
your feet will soon come into comforta-
bic condition.
Of course they should be washed on
rising in the morning, when the hands,
face. and person receive their quick and
tonic ablution Simply wet the skin and
wipe dry with a soft towel, and then rub
vigorously for five minutes with the naked
hands. Do this regularly and you will
have no more trouble with cold feet
On retiring at night, should the feet not
be warm. they should be wrung, squeezed
and rubbed, till ''all-aglow" with currents
of living blood, and the feet Will be
warm
Invalids may use bottle of hot water
to their feet, rather than lie awake in the
semi-torture of cold feet.

A Romance of the Vile du HaYre.


A LARGE, wooden building, dilapidated
and weather-beaten, and yet suggesting in
It's architecture something of old-time ele-
gance and comfort, stands on Fifth ave
nue., near 10th street. 1t faces the Park.
and from its size and evident age, attracts
the notice of every passer-bY. The house
was formerly the residence of one of our
oldest and most aristOcratic families. A
daughter was born in this old homestead
VINO, as years passed away. grew up beau
tlful and accomplished. She received a
nne education, and arriving at woman
hood few years since, entered society
and was as much admired for her mental
accomplishments as for the graces of her
person. An heiress to large fortune her
admirers were many, and many eligible
oilers were made her. Her heart, how
ever, remained free until a few months
since, when she met a young man of
Southern parentage, an employee in a
downtown house. His character and con-
nectons ale said to be irreproachable. The
helress made a deep impression upon him,
and he began to pay his suit to her. The
young man proceeded from the outset in
manly, honorable manner, and sought
an Interview with the father of the Young
lady and asked his permission to make a
proposal OF marriage. The father told
him that, although he respected
him, there was serious and to him insur-
mountable obstacle to a union. "You are
poor young man." said he,
land have your way to make in
the world. 1 have always intended
that my daughter shall marry a man
whose fortune equals that which shall be
hers. For this reason, which is with me
one of grave Importance, I hope that
there will be no more of this. | esteem
you, and believe you to be a gentleman of
honor, and [ trust you will have a regard
for my feelings in this matter" The
young man replied that he should never
enter any family an unwelcome member.
The young lady saw him no more At
first she wondered, then sorrowed, and
finally a settled dependency took pos
session Of her. Her parents, neither of
whom had told her that her lover had
asked for her hand of them, sought vainly
to divert and arouse her from state of
mind which began to cause them serious
uneasiness. At length they planned a trip
to Europe for her; and, although the sea
son Of the year was not that in which
pleasure journeys thither are usually I'M
dertaken, they made all haste to get her
off: She herself was utterly Indifferent,
and saw the preparations forher departure
hurried without manifesting any interest
in them or the projected journey. Her
friends, hearing of her intended depart
ure, gathered to wish her happy trip and
a safe return. Finally the day Of departure
arrived, and from the dock the girls
parents waved their fa,ewells and their
prayers went up for her safety and happi-
ness.
The ship steamed CALAMITY out to sea
and was lost to sight. Days after came
the news of terrible disaster. The yes
of the daughter was in the list of the lost.

Cellars for POuItry-Spring Chickens.

| have experienced the advantages of
cellar roOsts, but never knew one to
answer any good purpose unless the fowls
could go out at pleasure; and one would
be of no use for little chickens where a
flock OF old poultry roasted or had access.
My family have aised chickens, Matched
the beginning of February, easily, with
out housing them at all, using no artif-
cial means excepting coops about two
feet square, and with a front board to
shut up and cause darkness, to make the
hens nurse in cold spells. l have raised
lots of spring chickens Matched in Febru-
airy, and raised them without difficulty
and there are people alive now who recol-
leCt the division of them in the latter end of
April, when they were as large as pigeons
These were kept on a bank facing the
south IN coops without buttons, and about
fourteen broOds averaged ten to hen.
Again, only last year, Mr. Sinclair repeat
edly noticed over a hundred my children
had in February, near to Baltimore; and
they had not close coOps for them, merely
some common things Of their own max
ing, and in snowy weather they picked
them up and put them in flour barrels till
the storm was Over-On one occasion
keeping them in this way two days, feed
ing by laying the barrel down just while
they ate, and then putting them upright
and covering with a sack. A great fuss
is made about raising spring chickens,
when it is so easy that really believe
there are less losses than in summer rails
ing, though of course there is much more
attention required; but more need not be
said, as [ can only prove what has been
done, but would enter into an undertaking
with a responsible party to raise ten
thousand, all Matched in February.-COr
Country Gentleman.

Prepare Poultry Properly.

Money is lost by not knowing just how
to dress and pack poultry, for there is as
much in the manner of preparing the ar
ticle as in the commodity itself. Birds
carefully picked and packed will always
command one or two cents per pound
more than if the work is slovenly done,
however fat the fowl may be.
Fowls, even chickens, should be dry
picked, leaving on the heads and the
feet. Then, if fat, they should be wrapped
in clean straw paper, and packed with
clean dry straw in clean boxes; thus they
will always command good price, how
ever the market may be glutted with ordi-
nary samples. If scalded the tempera-
ture of the water should never be more
than 100 to 1876 degrees of Fahrenheit,
and after being picked they should be
Immediately dipped in pure, cold water,
and placed where they may dry or cool
Never pack while moist or soft. This is
one of the most fatal mistakes; and in
packing be careful not to tear the skin.
All that have the skin broken should
be thrown aside for family use; for they
will inevitably reduce the price Of the
good ones. The shrinkage of live poul-
try sent to market is considerable, some
times equal to eight or ten per cent. of
the original weight This again is saved
when the consignment is shipped dressed.
and as rule, the freights are much more
on live stock than on that which is
packed, for the reason that it takes less
room, and is more easily handled. A
little care and attention in this direction
will save money to the poultry keepers
As rule, from the first of November to
the first of March, no poultry should be
sent to market alive-F'armers' Union.

Feeding Cattle.

The question is frequently asked, with
no small degree of sollctude, Is tt better
to fodder stock twice only or four or five
times during the twenty.four hoursg our
own experience Is in favor of feeding
frequently, and small quantity at once.
When an animal receives large quantity
of feed-more than il can consume al
one feeding-more or less will be wasted
or damaged to certain extent, so that IL
will not be eaten. But if COW or an OK
receives only as much as the appetite will
take with keen relish no fodder will be
wasted. To the Interrogation" it
necessary to fodder five times day?" n
correspondent says: "Our experience
proves that ii is in order to obtain the
largest amount of milk. Several times
when our COWS have received only four
fodderings, although the quantity of hay
given was increased TO compensate for
the loss of one foddering, we have invari-
ably found there was a considerable de-
crease in their milk. Sometimes the effect
of one such neglect has been noticed for
a number of days. Cows certainly eat
their hay much cleaner when given in
small fodderings and foddered often, than
they do when foddered differently"
The second question your correspond
ent asks is, as corn and cob meal an
economical feed for mich COWS ?" Our
answer to this is, ii it is economical to
keep mich COWS in good flesh, it is eco
nomical to give them small amount of
corn and cob meal, together with a con-
siderable amount of shorts, cotton.seed
cake, or some other such feed. L suppose
farmers generally are aware that the ten
dency of this meal is to fatten, while it
will also make some milk. On this ac-
count it is an excellent plan to give it in
small quantities to mich cows that are
having cotton-seed cake, especially to
those which aIe so much inclined to milk
that it is hard to keep them in good order
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1874-01-01

while thew give it. To the general rule
we make this exception: II you have a
mich COW more inclined TO fatten than to
give milk, 1t would, probably, be best not
to give her cob meal, unless you deem it
desirable to prepare her for the butcher
as soon as possible. | doubt not all who
have tried it will agree with the statement
that a certain number of pounds of corn
and cob meal will not make rs much milk
as the same number of cOttOn-seed cake
or shorts.
Concerning the exact quantity of cob
meal, and also of shorts, found by expert
ence to be the most profitable, l will say,
when fed together, two quarts OF meal
and two or three of the shorts per day
seem so to be- When the shorts are fed
alone about four quarts seem to be the
proper amount to feed. However, when
Ihey are good three quarts are amply suf-
icient. COtton-seed has a slight tendency
to fatten, but chiefly produces milk. 1t
is very solid and weighty; consequently a
little over one quart per day Of this fed to
each COW we consider to be enough. In
reference to linSeed oil cake | can say
nothing from experience, having never
used any; but one who has tested 1t
says, while linSeed oil cake will make a
greater quantity of milk than the cotton
seed cake, the latter will make milk OF
much better quality. One of our neigh
bors, who once used the lipseed oil cake,
says 1t made the milk bitter. 1t is his
opinion, however, that the amount he OBJ
tanned had been injured in some way,
and that such is not usually the effects of
this feed. My own experience In refer
ence to cutting hay and straw goes to
prove that it don't exactly pay; conse-
quenuy, as Yankees, we are bound not to
do it. Nevertheless, under certain cir
cumstances-for instance, when one has
only one or two cows and wishes to keep
them very hight may be well to use
cutter. So far as improving the quality
of the hay is concerned, or causing it to
do the animals more good, it may, per-
haps be done in the case of old COWS
whose teeth have failed them.
"How many pounds of English hay are
requisite per day for mich cow" To
this inquiry | may not return direct
answer, for is it not impossible to ascer-
tain how many pounds are required?
Only by being acquainted with the appe-
tlte of the particular COW to be foddered
can this be done. OF course, large cows
require more than medium sized or small
ones, and some small COWS require much
more than others of the same size. The
hay foddered to our COWS has never been
weighed, so we are unable to state the
average amount requisite. The best way
seems to be, in foddering, to give each
cow as much as she will eat clean, be this
more or less.-N. 7. Herald.

Some put cayenne in their shoes to ex-
cite circulation; some dance a few mo-
ments before retiring at night; others
battle their cold feet in hot water. But
we have given the cause and the remedy
above, and neither pepper nor medicines
need be used for the purpose. Never go
to bed with cold feet-Sciencs Of Health.
