The Inauguration ceremonies at Al
bany yesterday were notably simple
and in good taste. There was no oc-
casion for enthusiasm or excitement
of any kind; and there was none.
Gov. Dix retired and Gov. Tilden
came in with equal grace and dignity,
and in the exchange of personal
courtesies between them the bearing
Of the gentleman in politics was
pleasingly illustrated. Gnv. Dix re-
tires with the clear record of a faith
ful public servant; and. although it
is saying good deal in these degen-
crate times, we may add that the
people have an abiding confidence
that Gov. Tilden will do the same
when his term shall have expired.

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few Of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from diseases
Of the heart do really arise from that
cause. To ascertain the real origin
of sudden deaths, an experiment has
been tried in Europe, and reported to
Il scientific congress at Strasburg.-
Sixty-six cases Of sudden death were
made the subject of a thorough post
norton examination; in these cases
only two were found who had died
from disease of the heart. Nine out
of sixty-six died from apoplexy, while
there were torty-slx cases of conges-
ton of the lungs-that is, the lungs
were so full of blood they could not
work. not being room enough for a
sufficient quantity of air to support
life. The causes that produce con
gestions of the lungs are cold feet,
light clothing, costivc bowels, sitting
until chilled after being warmed with
labor or rapid walk, going too sud
denly from close room into the open
air, especially after speaking, and
sudden, depressing news operating
on the blood. These causes of sud
den death being known, an evidence
of them may serve to lengthen many
valuable lives which would otherwise
be lost under the verdict of heart
complaint. That disease is supposed
to be incurable; hence many may not
take the pains they would to avoid
sudden death if they knew it lay in
their power

The Eject Of OdOr in Milk.

rum tuC SAhou1
For the use Of the calf, the odor in
the milk of a healthy COW is not OBJ
iectionable. 1t helps on the process
of digestion, and increases the laxa-
tive tendency of new milk. In but
ter and cheese it is detrimental. 1t
promotes strong, disagreeable fla
vor, and hastens the decomposition
of both. The more of it there is car
ried into butter, the stronger will be
its flavor, and the more easily will it
become rancid. In the heat of sum-
mcr, when the cows are fevcrish,
there is more of it in the milk than
usual, and more works into the but
ter, increasing its tendency to rancid
ity to such degree rs to make it ex-
tremely difficult to preserve. To
cheese it IS equally injurious. 1t pro-
notes hutfing, and strong and disa-
greeable odor and flavor, and prema-
ture decay.
To separate this odor and its cause
from milk, is therefore one of the
most important requisites to success
full dairying. To carry into butter
all the odor there is in new milk, and
all there is formed in it while it is
standing for the cream to rise, would
be 10 ruin it for use as food. If the
correctness of this statement is not
recognized, the following experiment
will demonstrate it: Put small
quantity of new milk into Il tin YES
sci, say pint or quart into a two
quart tin pail, SO that it will readily
assume the temperature OF the room.
Put on the cover and let it stand in
the milk room long enough for the
cream to rise, and then examine by
smelling and tasting. If the observ-
er does not find that odor has accu-
INFLATED to such an extent as to spoil
it for butter, it will be because his
senses of taste and smell are sadly
out of order. 1t will become dccid-
cdly offensive. We wish every one
who uses milk for butter making, if
he has never done so, to try such an
experiment. 1t will cost but 4 penny
or two, and hut very little trouble,
and Will afford an instructive lesson
in regard to the rapid changes that
are going on in milk, and the steady
formation of offensive odor that re-
suits from them, and be suggestive
of the treatment milk should receive.

Why Cattle require Salt.

We know why the animal 3raves
salt, and why it ultimately fails into
disc Use if 81 is for time withheld.
Upwards of half the saline matter Of
the blood 81 per cent? consists OF
common salt; and IS this is partly dis
charged every day through the skin
and kidneys, the necessity of contin-
ued supplies of it to the body be
comes sufficiently obvious. The bile
also contains soda as special and
indispensable constituent, and SO do
all the cartilages Of the body. There
fore, if the supply Of salt be stinted,
neither will the bile be able properly
to assist the digestion, nor the cartil-
ages be built up again as they natu-
rally waste. And when we consider
it to be fact that without salt man
would miserably perish; as among
horrible punishments entailing GER
tain death, that of feeding culprits on
saltless food is said to have prevail
ed in barbarous times, we may be-
come partially convinced, at least, Of
the necessity of feeding salt to our
stock-that it is enc of the neccssa-
ries as well as one of the luxuries of
life for man and beast; and it should
be profusely provided at short inter-
walls, in proper places, if it can not be
kept by them continually, SO that
each and every animal may satisfy
his nature. Then it shall not be said
of us that while our pudding is well
seasoned and sailed, our stock are al
lowed to suffer for want Of the same
ingredient, which is as truly necessa-
ny for their food as for ours.-P'ct.

why Farmer. Should Keep sheep.


/ could well wish that some ADLER
pen than mine could urge the reasons
for encouraging the keeping, by near
ly every rural family in the land,
tlocks Of sheep ranging from five to
fifty head; not large herds, by the
few, but small fiocks, by the many.
To be brief, / will mention 4 few of
what appear to me to be cogent rea-
sons for this scale of sheep husband
ry:
l. The large wool growers urge
tariffs to keep the prices up. DO our
woolens cost us too little?
2. The cotton crop Of the South,
for various reasons, is growing less
adequate to the demand tariffs on
cotton). How supply its place?
3. The cotton growers are eXhort-
ed by their abiest advisers to raise
more corn and less cotton, which adj
vice is being needed in the increase
of mixed husbandry.
4. The cotton factories East have
adopted the policy f stopping work
as often as shall hold the stock at
what they term paying prices.
5. The bad policy Of paying
freight East on provisions to feed
operatives, and freight back on goods
when woolens could be manufacture
ed in nearly every county in the
State that would supplement a large
portion of cotton goods to better adj
vantage.
8. The great restitution Of sutli
cient bed clothing in at least half the
families of the State.
7. TO ameliorate the momcntous
meat question.
8. TO utilize vast amounts Of 9th
crwisc unavailable pasturage.
8. AS an item OF mixed husband
~, it being, in my opinion, of first
importance to inaugurate a system OF
farming that shall not exhaust the
fertility of our soil at the present
ruinOus rate.
10. For the independence Of the
farming class.
Had l powers of persuasion, my
themes would be small flocks of
sheep for every family engaged in
the culture of the soil, factories at
home, rational system of economic
ing fertility, and full supply of
wholesome meat Cor. Prairie Far.

Farming in Iowa,

In the journal of January sth is
an article copied from the Cincinnati
Ga<ette, headed, "What shall we do
for grass?" Believing that wheat
raising in Iowa is and always will be
Improbable, from the fact that we
are so far from the consuming mar
kets, that even if we should get ca
nails, and railroad tariffs reduced,
Iowa farmers could not make wheat
growing profitable. Then if we would
make farming pay a fair per cent, we
must look to some other branch Of
farming, such as the dairy, or stock
raising, and that must be an improve
ment on the old practice Of keeping
steer until he is four or five years
old, with an average weight of 1900
to l,4OO pounds, when we should get
the same weight from steer at
twelve to eighteen months. But the
question is, how are we to reach such
results? l answer, first, by improy-
ing our stock; second, by providing
proper stabling; and third, by using
the least that it is possible to get at
the least possible expense. would
not discourage the raising of timothy
and clover; but as we are having
droughts almost every summer, we
must begin to look for a substitute
for hay and corn. Now, J. B., in the
article referred to above, wants to
know if Hungarian will pay. We
answer yes. We sowed Hungarian
last summer, and am satisfied that
it produced more feed to the acre
than either of the grasses, or even
common oats. But Hungarian is a
very uncertain crop to depend upon,
for if the weather is very dry when
you SOW, the chances are very poor
for a good stand. Now, taking all
these things into consideration, we
should not rely on any one crop, for
every one is liable to fail, and we
should aim to have a variety. l have
been testing new kind of grass,
that so far bids fair to be the best
| nave ever SccII. IL Is us sure W grow

Hungarian; and when the seed is
ripe the stalk and blades are perfectly
green. | have sowed it as late as the
last of May, and it was always ready
to cut before harvest; and when

on any kind of grain. From the test
SO far, | think, on good ground fol-

Hog Cholera,

With the return of warm weather,
the usual reports of outbreaks Of
cholera among hogs in the West also
return. 1t is evident that the charac-
ter Of this disease is greatly misun-
derstood or but little known. That
it is of a typhoid character and a
blood disease, is a well-established
fact. 1t is also certain that the most
marked symptom, the dlarrhna, is the
third and last stage of disorder
which has reached fatal conclusion.
Unfortunately, for the most part, it Is
only when this conclusion has been
reached that apprehensions are enter
tanned, and treatment, now too late,
is undertaken. The premonitory
signs of the approaching Of this dis
order are obscure, very transient, and
are rarely observed. The first stage
Of the disease is marked only by an
unusual quietness Of the animal at
fected, and the sleepy appearance and
loss of appetite are frequently con-
sidcred as evidence Of the well being
of the sufferers, when they are really
signs Of most critical stage Of the
disease, and indications that some
thing must be done without loss of
time. To "sleep and grow fat" is
considered the business of a hog, but
on the contrary the hog is an animal
much given to activity, and unusual
sleepiness is certain Specification Of
something wrong. This first stage
soon gives place to more alarming
symptoms. Severe abdominal pains
are indicated by a great unwilling
ness to move, a position in which the
fore feet are stretched out and the
abdomen is brought close to the
ground. The skin now changes color
and the blood becomes effiused at the
surface, causing a deep red or purple
of parts of the body
The eyes and mouth and inside of the
ears are red, and sometimes eruptions
takes place. Up to this point treat
ment is hopeful, but atterward it is of
little avail. a strong purgative
should be administered as soon as
any Of the symptoms described have
been noticed. This should consist of
three or four ounces of EPSON salts,
halt an ounce of sulphur, with one or
two drains Of ground ginger, given
IN half pint of well sweetened
warm oatmeal cruel, or linseed tea.
Prevention of the disorder is easy
and safe. 1t consists, however, not
in spasmodic efforts to ward off at
tacks which already threaten to be
serious, but in a general care of the
stock from their youth up.-A Yet

his other good qualities, they are all
useless, when the acting parts are,
from this cause, deep ground, easily

that, in a horse not in work. Should
he not perceive anything like whist

Economical Feeding.

The Irish Farmers gazette des-
cribes q method of feeding cattle
when forage is dear and labor cheap,
which combines a good many excel
lent points. The materials are roots,
hay and meal. The preparation is
made by pulping the roots, chatting
the hay, crushing the grain and steam
ing the whole together. BY two
NOR tbs of such feeding, cattle are
made to increase as much in weight
as by four months with unprepared
food.
For a hundred head of cattle, six
horse power engine is required, a
root pulper, chaff.cutter and a
steaming apparatus. The cutter is
able to reduce ton of hay in an hour
into chaH of half an inch in length
The pulping and chatting is done up
on floor or platform or above 'the
feed box. The roots are fed to the
pu!per from q floor above it, from
which they are shoveled into the hop
per with great rapidity. When
steaming is practiced, the feed is
mixed in the proportion of one pound
of hay to fourteen pounds of roots;-
10 pounds of this mixture, with foul
pounds of meal, is sufficient for the
daily rations of q fattening beast
along with y modicum Of dry hay Oh
straw, as an appetizer, or in the way
of change.
The required quantity is mixed
and thrown into steam-tight vat
which is covered, and the steam is
then turned on tor thirty minutes
1t is then cooked, and by and by 1t is
emptied into cooling vat where il
is reduced to blood heat; then it is
fed to the animals, and they eat il
with avldity. When not steamed
the mixed food is heaped upon the
floor, where it remains two or three
hours before being fed. In this
period it ferments and heats, and un
dergoes change somewhat anala
gous to cooking, by which it is ren
dered readily digcstible,

Bathing an II a lth.

DR.. A. Il. Crosby, formerly Of the
Michigan University, now of the Bel
levue Medical College, New York,
delivered a lecture recently, in the
Cooper Institute, upon "The Skin and
the Use Of the Bath Dir. Crosby
commenced by giving a series of
stcreopticon illustrations Of the struc-
turc Of the skin, explaining the i'm
portant functions it performed in the
general economy Of the human sys-
TEN. The lecturer said he thought
it was Charles Lamb who once said
upon meeting man with very dirty
hands: 'My friend, if dirt were
trumps, what hands you would hold!"
However that might be, he regretted
to be obliged to open his lecture by
remarking that man was dirty ami
NAL. He said the amount of fluid
formed by the sweat glands under
meath the skin was ordinarily about
two pounds, or two pints, in the day
upon the whole body, when the per-
son is comparatively at rest. If ex-
ercise was taken to any great extent,
much more Of this secretion or per.
spiration would be thrown Off
When the skin is viewed with mag
nifying glass Of moderate power it
is seen that minute PARTICLES of mois-
ture ooze from the pores, which speed
lily evaporate. The object of perspir-
alton was to regulate the temperature
Of the body. 1t was found, in con
nection with the circulation Of the
blood, that there was process going
OH by which oxygen was being taken
ont of the blood by the arterial blood,
and that carbonlc acid was being Ia
ken away by the veins. The heat of
the body was constantly being form
ed. The normal temperature of the
blood was about % degrees, and
were it not for the process of perspir-
alton, which cools the system, we
would get a temperature that would
be inconsistent with life. The tenn
perature of the body could not be
carried 10 degrees above or below its
normal temperature without life ceas-
ing. 1t would then be seen that the
limits Of temperature within which
life can be sustained lay within a
very narrow range, and hence the i'm
portance of persplration by which the
temperature of the body was regulat-
ed. lie theu referred to the practice
If bathing among the ancients, and
said the first act Of hospitality shown
to visitor VAS to prepare a bath, as
mentioned in the. case of Ulysses and
Telemachus whenever they were hos
pitably received in their travels. In
Greece the bath was both a public
and private institution. In Athens
the practice of bathing was Joined
with that of the gymnasium, and Pla-
to recognized the necessity of bath
ing, so much so that he made the
bath one Of the institutions of the
state. When the explorations were
matte i'll Pompeii, in 1924, the ruins
Of baths were found similar to those
that existed in Rome, covering TO-
600 square feet. The Romans were
IN the habit of bathing seven or eight
times in the day. In modern times
the Turks had cultivated the use of
the bath more than any other nation.
Mohammed ordained that there should
be prayer five time day with ablu-
tons, and he was morally certain
that we prayed no more and bathed
much less. In India the bath had al
ways been associated with shampoo
ing.
