LGRICrLTTRAL.

CoSFIpENcE IN ANIMALs.-There are
probably, few persons familiar with
farm life who have not observed a
marked contrast between the general
character and appearance of the domes-
tic animals kept on different farms
within the circle of their acquaintance.
On approaching some farm houses,
the first salutation comes from noisy,
growing dog, who seems to take you
for a trespasser. The next, from his
master who divides his energies be-
tween welcoming you and scolding the
dog for not behaving better. You visit
the barn, and as you open the door. a
frightened cat scuds across the floor,
and with one look back at you from her
great eyes, disappears through the hole
in the floor, or out at broken window.
The horses lay back their ears, squeal
and kick the sides of their stalls, as
much as to say. "We feel cross and
can't help acting it out" The oxen
and COWS start back as you pass them
as if afraid they would be hit with a
fork, and the young calves and pigs
scamper to the farthest corners of their
pens. and even the chickens seem to be
bound you shall have ell the room to
yourself.
We cannot begin too early to handle
and pet the young animals We are rals-
ing. 1t is wonderful how soon they
will acquire feeling of confidence and
learn TO come to us for protection and
care.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATlRE on lRoN.-
Much interest has been created by the
theory advanced by Mr.. Brockbank, an
English engineer, as TO the effect of
cold and frost on iron, his idea being
that it causes the metal to become
brittle, independently of any other
cause. Mr.. b. induced several indi-
viduals to test iron for him at time
when the thermometer indicated below
81 degrees, and it is stated that in one
instance the experimenter got dozen
darning needles and lot of garden
nails made of cast iron, and it was
found that the needles took a greater
tensile strain at II degrees than they
did at 50, and the garden nails showed
a similar result, leading, of course, to
the conclusion that frost does not make
either cast or wrought iron or steel
brittle. In testing a No. charcoal
rod, it was found that, on the test piece
being twisted slowly while surrounded
with salt and snow, it stood 19I degrees
while an adjacent six-inch, at 40 de-
grees, stood only - twists. The tests
are regarded as proving that iron will
bear a greater tensile strain the colder
it is, but that its resistance to the force
of impact is in ratio weaker this being
due to the fact that the atoms of iron
are brought closer together by the con-
tracing influence of extreme cold, the
specific gravity is greater, and it as
sumes more and more the texture OF
steel, which. rs is well known, will not
bear heavy blow without breaking.

Choral ~ . Cnre for Sea-Sfek.

The London Medical Record says !:
"Dr. Giraldes has published, in the
Journal de Therapeutiqne, an account
of the means by which he avoided sea-
sickness. during two passages to Eng
land and back. He was at Boiogne last
June on the way to London, when the
weather was so rough that many in
tending passengers hesitated to cross
the channel, DR.. Grades was informed
by o colleague at Bologne that Ameri-
can physicians used the syrup of chic
raj as q preventive of sea-sickness with
successful results. He therefore OBJ
tanned some syrup of chloral, put him
self into q quiet corner, and took his
syrup, directly the vessel was in motion
when, although his fellow passengers
experienced the usual unpleasant con-
sequences, he arrived at FOlkestone
without suffering the least inconveni-
ence. The same results we're obtained
on the return voyage. but he increased
the amount of chloral. He had again
occasion to cross the channel at the end
of September by the night boat from
Calais to Dover, and thinking, with
reason, that the sea would be rougher
at that season than usual, he had a
draught made up composed of chlOral,
three grammes Qforty-five grains): dis
titled water, fifty grammes gooseberry
syrup, sixty grammes and French es-
sence of peppermint, two drops. he
took half the draught as the vessel
left the harbor, and arrived at Dover
without having suffered in the least
from sea-sickness, which his compan-
ions were in the usual condition of pros
trate misery. A very heavy sea was
running. On his return from London
on the Both of October there was high
sea and much wind. He accordingly
took the remaining portion of his
dranght, soon went to sleep, and only
awoke on his arrival at Calais in the
best possible condition. DR.. Grades
remarks that he is, as a rule, affected by
sea-sickness when he crosses the chan
mel, and that his two trials of chloral
have convinced him of its efficacy as q
preventive of that most disagreeable
malady. He adds that he never goes
down in the cabin, but makes himself
as comfortable as circumstances will
allow on deck"

Anxious TO Get Rid Of the Old
Lady.

In probate Office not five hundred
miles from our own fair Athens of
America, the following scene occurred
within a very few days. The guardian
ship of child was sought for, and
among the interrogatories was the fol-
lowing: "How much property has the
child ?" and the following answer was
returned: "Well, Just now there is
only about S400, but in few days there
will be about SO, 900; but then the old
lady isn't dead yet, and she may live
six years; you know you can't tell
nothin' about these things" This is
about equal to the fellow who rushed
into an undertaker's out of breath, and
exclaimed /; Finish up that coffin now,
the old lady's dead this time anyway /;
at least they told me she would be by
the time 1 got back. ."-Boston Journal.

STRANGLEs IN COLTS. ''This COM
plant, known commonly as distemper,
is nothing serious. The swelling which
appears at the junction of the jaws and
throat will in time break of itself and
disappear. The only treatment neces-
sary is to give the colt soft feed, with
bran mashes and no medicine at all.
The appetite, which falls off while the
fever accompanying the disorder re-
mains, will return as soon as the alb
scess has broken. Ii the enlargement
increases to such an extent as to
threaten partial suffoca:ion, it may be
opened with a lancet and discharged.
No poultice should be applied to the
swelling.-Sometlmes, when the alb
scess refuses to break, or is slow in
suppurating, it may be hastened by
rubbing it with little ointment, com
posed of one part Spanish flies and six
parts of lard.

CONSUMPTION AS AFFECTED BY RESI-
DENcE.-Dr. Bowditch of Massachu-
sets, in report to the Legislature of
that State, discusses the relation of
consumptive diseases to the matter of
residence. The first point he urges is
that the cellar should be always dry /;
also that no possibility should exist of
drinking water becoming contaminated
by refuse and hence. for the latter,
closely cemented stone, brick, or vitri-
fed tile drains should be used, while
the supply for drinking should be
brought to the house from some distant
spring or pond. The dwelling, he says,
is the best situated on an elevated
knoll, open to the south and west
winds, but somewhat shielded from the
north and east. There should be means
of allowing sunlight to enter every
room; and, as regards temperature,
about 20 deg. medium is the best, the
heat to be derived from open fireplaces
connected with well constructed chin
neys in every room.

A PRAIRIE farmer correspondent, who
has had good deal of experience in
lettering cattle, says by far the best
plan is to fasten by the hind foot. i
use a one-inch strap, passed twice round
Just above the ankle, and through a
light iron ring. To the ring l fasten
half-inch rope, and avoid all danger of
tangling, which sometimes results in
broken necks, when cows are fastened
by the head. 1 should prefer to have
five or six feet of trace chain close be-
hind the foot where the rope sustains
the most wear.

A NEW PROCESS OF, ENGRAVING ON
CoPPER.-The photographic Office at
Paris has begun process of engraving
on copper, which promises by its ra-
pidity and the moderation of its price
to be very widely useful. 1t consists in
substance, first, in covering a plate of
copper with a thin shell of adhering
silver, upon which is spread thin
layer of colored varnish; second in
drawing thereon, with dry point, the
lines, topography, and lettering, pre-
cisely as one engraves with a diamond
upon stone; third. in corroding the
traces by means of the perchlOride Of

A TIMELY SUGGEsTIOS.-A cOrrespOR-
dent writes How to keep water in
the barn-yard from freezing in the
trough is a problem which | wish some
one would solve. 1t is quite a trouble
to have to cut ont two or three inches
of ice every morning, in cold weather,
besides wasting great deal of water.
/ have been experimenting little, and
have found a way to somewhat modify
the evil. When 1 go TO the barn at
nine o'clock in the evening there is
generally quite a crust of ice in the
trough. Through this L break at one
end of the trough a small hole, and dip
ont three or fonr quarts of water. This
leaves an open space between the ice
and the top of the water, and the whole
process of freezing has to be repeated.
In the morning there will be two coats
of ice, both quite thin, and it is not
half the work to get them ont that 1t is
to cut out what will be produced if it is
left undisturbed. 1t may be worth
while for other farmers to try this
method. 1t costs but little to do it,
and with me it saves a good deal of
work.

CASING FOR STEAM PIPES, &C.-The
following composition for casing steam
pipes, &c, is recommended by German
association of engineers as equal in
effect to that of Leory, while it is
cheaper. Mix well 100 parts by weight
of finely ground limestone, $50 of finely
ground stone-coal, $50 of finely ground
clay, 800 of fiue-dust (from the boiler
fues), 600 of water, 10 of sulphuric acid
of 80 Baume, and Is of hair. The
place to be covered, warmed if possible,
is coated with this mass in layers from
half an inch TO [! or 2 inches thick, and
when finished may be painted.

SCRAP-BooKs.- best paste for
scrap-books is made of flour. Apply it
with soft brush to the back of the
paper to be pasted in and pat down the
scrap with soft cloth. Both sides OF
the leaf may be scrapped, and many
successive pages filled at once, but care
should be taken to remove all paste
from each page when it is completed,
and the book should be left wide open
to dry. A well-filled scrap-book is a
very pleasant companion of a rainy day,
especially if taste and discretion have
been exercised in its arrangement.
Stories should be in part of the book
by themselves the same may be said
of poetry, and of wit. If all the news
papers usually torn and burned fol
kindling were carefully scissored there
might be in every family book of wit
and wisdom, of information, and enter
tainment second to none in the family
library, always excepting the Bible. II
is well to accumulate quite a store OF
scraps before beginning the book and
employ some rainy day of leisure in ar
ranging them properly and fastening
them in place. Picture books fol
children, far superior, in point of variety
and interest, to any in the slops, may
be made by saving up pictures and
pasting them into some volume not ol
intrinsic merriam old census book with
good binding answers the purpose. Al
intervals through the book half dozen
leaves should be cut off smoothly,
leaving hal: inch margin, to make
room for the scrappings and keep the
book in good shape.

THE EFFECTS OF A SUNBEAM.-If the
curious things in science were commu-
nicated rather than the materialistic,
as presented by Prof. Tyndall and
others, both profit and great pleasure
would be the result. Take in its con-
trast the effects of a sunbeam, for ex-
ample, and one sees the grand result OF
the most gentle and powerful, and yet
variable and versatile forces. As
painted by an artist pen, We see that
the most delicate slip of gold leaf ex-
posed as target to the suns shafts, is
not stirred to the extent of a hair,
though an infants faintest breath would
set it in tremulous motion. The ten
derest of human organs-the apple OF
the eye-though pierced and buffeted
each day by thousands of sunbeams,
suffers no pain during the process, but
rejoices in their sweetness, blesses the
useful light. Yet few of those rays,
insipuating themselves into mass OF
iron, like the Britannia tubular bridge,
will compel the closely knit particles to
separate, and viii move the whole
enormous fabric with as much ease as a
giant would a straw. The play of those
beams upon our sheets of water lifts up
layer after layer into the atmosphere,
and hoists whole rivers from their
beds, only to drop them again in SHOWS
upon the hills, or in fattening showers
upon the plants. Let but the air drink
in little more sunshine at one point
than another, and it desolates whole
region in its lunatic wrath. The marvel
is that a power which is capable Of
assuming such diversity of forms, and
of producing such stupendous results,
should come to us in so gentle, SC
peaceful, and so unpretentious man
ner.
