dropped her last calf the 18th of June last,
and her grand daughter three years old, that
dropped her only calf September, 1878, when
she was just 26 months old. The milk of the
two after selling one quart daily, and using
mix andEcream wanted in our family OF tonr
persons, gave us from Jan. /, 1874, to Jan. 1,
1875, 915 lbs. butter-the milk used and sold
would yield so lbs. more butter. This butter

though these cows have not been forced TO

but have been well fed and cared for. My
method of feeding during the time has been
as follows: Through the winter of 1874, l fed
clover hay three times day, ard occasional
ly well cured sweet corn stalks; quarts meal
each, daily, one part cotton seed and one part
corn, and quarts each, wheat bran; the
and evening. Clean water given at noon and
the meal discontinued in summer, when on
grass. When the feed failed in pasture, sweet
corn stalks were fed at night until frost came !;
then one peck of pumpkins each, daily, until
December. From that time to the present,
Jan. 10th, they have been fed low ground
or swail hay (early CUT and two quarts meal,
cotton seed and corn, and four quarts bran,

heifer giving us GA lbs. butter while we did

Poisonous Wall Paper.

DIR. Kedzie, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, showed us last summer, when visit
ing that institution, a large collection which
he had made of specimens of wall paper of
different shades and patterns, colored with
ARSENIC, which gives remarkably delicate
and agreeable shade, and hence the eagerness
with which these colors are sought. He also
exhibited the simple test for the arsenic, OF
which we gave brief notice at the time. He
has since favored us with copy of the Re-
port of the Michigan Board of Health con-
tanning valuable contributions from his pen,
the result of careful investigation on more
than one subject of importance, and some
additional facts relative to the deleterious ef-
fects OF poisonous paper in addition to several
which he stated to us,
One OF the cases of poisoning was that of
young daughter of a gentleman formerly
state Senator. The room in which she slept
was covered with poisonous paper, the
ground of which was stone color with bands
of bright green. Soon after occupying the
room her health began TO fail, lameness came
on, and darling pains through various parts
of the body, languor, fever sore, &c. Medi-
cal advice and treatment did no good. When
she left home for few weeks her health i'm
proved, but she relapsed on returning home.
After some months, the paper of the room
was suspected as the cause. The giIl was re
moved, and entirely recovered her health
On analysis, nearly five grains of arsenic
were found for each square foot of surface.
Inc room renamed vacant a year, when it
was occupied by boy tor a time. He soon
became similarly affected On removal to
another room he recovered. Several cases of
similar character occurred.
The only sure way of detecting this poison
is by chemical test, although prcatced eve
will often do SO from the color. A bright

all greens are not poisonous; many do not
contain trace of arsenic. Then, again,
other colors are mixed with and obscure the
green where the poison is in large portion.
In such cases, good microscope will often
detect specks of green. To be certain in any
doubtful point, place a portion of the sus-

Marks of a Good Cow.

l.. B. Arnold said we wanted a milking
breed. There are great mixers in all breeds
cultivated for the purpose, and there is not
so much difference in the different breeds as
is sometimes supposed. If any one stood far
above all others, the fact could be proved.
The Ayrshire is perhaps as near perfect as
any, but it is not a perfect breed. The Ho-
stems he thinks excellent cows. A COW
should have feminine appearance. In Sc
ecling, he looks first to see if the COW has
a good stomach. paunch; if not. he would
reject her. Next he looks at the chest to see
if there is full room for heart. Next he
looks at hair, not for color, but its appear
ance as showing condition of digestive Or
gans and general health. The milk mirror
shows the termination of the arteries which
60 to the udder, and its size indicates the
quantity OF blood carried there, as the milk
veins indicate quantity carried away from
udder. The m k mirror and milk veins gem
orally correspond in size. The milk mirror
is not alone a sufficient guide; all desirable
points should be taken together. Generally
speaking, broad udder with teats set well
apart, is desirable. AS a rule, the best milk
ers are sluggish, Emphatic in temperament.

Value Of Covered Manure.

At various times, says the Phila. Press, we
have pointed out to our readers the prohtS
resulting from covering manure, instead OF
allowing it to get soaked by the rains or dried
by the sun, as is generally done. We have
given this advice from what we have actually
seen. When rough sheds have been built to
cover the manure heap, the crops tertllIzed by
this pileshave been increased in productiveness
sufficient to pay for the shed covering the first
year. We had never seen any exact figures of
the proportiOnate value of covered and I'M
covered manures that we remember, until the
following, which we find by Lord Kincaird, a
Scotch land owner and farmer. They present
the best statement possible, we think, of the
advantages of the plan:
-Four acres9of good soil were measured; two
of them were manured with ordinary barnyard
manure, and two with an equal quantity of
manure from the covered shed. The whole
was planted with potatoes. The products of
each acre were as follows:
Potatoes Treated Nth Barnyard Manure.
One acre produced. .....-............27 2 bushels
One acre produced. .................2 So bushels.
Potatoes MANFRED. from the Covered She'd
One acre produced .................. 442 bushels.
One acre produced. .................47 All bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat, when the crop was as follows;
Wheat on Land Treated aoith Barnyard Manure.
One acre produced Al bushels, 10 pounds (of 81
One acre produced 40 bushels, 3S pounds (of 81
pounds per busheD.
Wheat on Land MANFRED from Covered Sheds.
One acre produced So busbels5 pounds (of61 pounds
per bushel. ~ =,
pounds per busheD.
The straw also yielded one.third more upon
the land fortified with the manure from the
covered stalls than upon that to which the or
binary manure was applied. In view of these
facts, we hope that our farmers will give this
subject their full attention for their own bene-
1it and in making shelter ora stalls for stock, it
might be done with view to the increase of
manure under the cattle, as it is not removed
before it is intended for use if it is likely to re-
main there for months.

As yourn can't comprehend it.

Tbouoh YOU must have Tin about as old as l.
You was little lame;

And your mother on you depended.
Well, perhaps you was right;
THAT vein might have busted in some fight,
And YOUR country-wel thank God. was defended.
What do we do at these campfres?
Well now, 1 can't hardly tell,
But it makes my old bosom swell
When we sing those old army airs,
And there's spot way down in my hear'

when we omen them with the old chapain's prayer.

And some on um, too. is pretty lalr'
But such fellows as you can't unueis'anu ui III ho"

That we used to have out in the field,

And twan't no crime for sodgers to steal.
We fight the old battles all over again,
And crack the old jokes anew;
We remember the pleasant things longest
Though the hard knocks warn't by no means few.
We feed oil the old army rations again,
Same's we used to years ago.
The BOYS are wide awake when the old pipes come
out,
And tell We times don't go slow.
Then there's feeling that can't be explained
When some comrade speaks softly of the dead and

OF the widows and orphans the cruel war made
Something you can't feel who close at home stayed,

Well, what if we do?
We had stirring times before
But it didn't seem to start you.
We do stir the old feelings,
You're just right there,
And it makes us more willing the burdens to bear.
Why keep it alive?
Well, we can't much longer;
The tumult against it grows stronger and stronger;
We are fast dropping of, who stood shoulder tc

Let us light our old campfres few times more,
Ere we leave forever this earthly shore.
