Food feeds the body. thoughts feeds the

Few .:.a. Should Cows % Mixed.

Regularity in the milking Of cows is Of
as much Importance as regularity in feed
ing them. In state of nature. the COW is
relieved of its milk great many times a
day. a calf allowed to remain with its
mother Will help itself seven or eight times
q day. Under such circumstances the
udder of the COW will remain small. and if
allowed to retain the milk secreted during
the twelve hour, feverish symptoms are
likely to be produced. The practice OF
milking cows more than twice in the twen-
ty-foHr hours causes the capacity of the
udder TO be greatly increased, and probab-
~ helps in maintaining the lacteal secre-
ton long after pregnancy has taken place.
When. however, by an artificial system.
the COW has been enabled to retain her
milk without inconvenience for twelve
hours or so, she ought TO be MIXED regu-
larry every day at the same hour. When
the time for milking arrives, the udder u.s.
ually becomes distended to its utmost ca.
pacity, and if the milk is not speedily re-
moved, the animal suffers considerable
pain. Cases of fever, the result of allowing
animals to remain too long unmilked, are,
indeed, by no means of unfrequent occur
renee. II is especially necessary to attend
TO this point for some days after the ami
NAL has brought forth its young, for during
that period very little irritation of the lac
teal organs is likely to bring on that most
fatal of all maladies, fever. If milking be
too long delayed, nature will try to help
the poor animal. An absorption Of milk
into the blood will, to some extent, take
p,acc. and that which remains in the udder
will become deteriorated. When neglect
IN milk a COW at the regular time is repeat
al several times, the secretion of the fluid
i permanently checked; and there are
many cases where by such neglect, an ami
has become dry in less than mouth:

POTATO BALLs.-Mash. roll up with yolk
of egg and little flour. and fry them in
good drippings, or brown them.
TURNIPs.- Boil them in salt and water,
with piece OF butter; sauce them with
melted butter, seasoning them with nut
meg.
ICING FOR CAKE.-To the white OF one
egg. beaten to froth, add nine tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar and one teaspoon
ful Of corn starch.
ROAST PARTRIDGEs.-Cle truss, and
stuff the birds as you do chickens: roast at
hot fire; sprinkle with salt and haste with
butter and water until brown.
TEA BIsCrrT.-Three pints of flour. with
three full teaspoonfuls OF baking powder,
one-halt cup butter; then run together
well; then make very soft dough with
sweet milk or water; put but little flour on
the board TO roll out.
CORN BREAD.-Three cups Indian gel
low meal. one cup wheat flour. one tea
spoonful salt. three tablespoonful sugar,
one tablespoonful of cream tartar; one
tablespoonful baking soda; form into a
batter about as thick as .'Johnny-cake"

The Old Farmhouse.

Atthe feot of the hill. near the old red mill,
Ina quiet, shady spot,
just peepiug through, half hid from view,
stands little moss-grown cot:
And straying through n the open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor.
The easy chair, all patched with care,
l. placed by the old hearth-stone;
With witching grace, in the old fireplace,
The eyergreens are strewn;
And pictures hang on the whitened wall.
Aud the old clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely still, on the window sill,
The dew-eved flowers rest,
While mid the leaves, on the moss-srow
caves
The martin builds her nest;
And all day long, the summer breeze
l. WHISPERING low 10 the bending trees.
