T MICH COWS.

If you want a cow to he gentle she
must be treated gently. If you don't
want her to kick over the ilk-paiI you
must never kick her. II you want her to
give down her milk. you must never hurt
her udder teats By handling them harshIy.
The Country Gentleman says-"A mich cow
should be quiet and contented. She will
have to be patted and made much Of"
Certain it is that where a single cow is
petted and we'll taken care of there will
be a great increase in the milk over her
former yield. have known quite a mum
b0r of such cases. | never knew one that
did not show this improvement. Treat
each of the members OF the herd like the
one taken from it, and kept as a single cow
and the whole herd will be improved. My
experience has revealed to me the fact that
our native 90 WIS, which form the staple of our
dairies, are capable of great improvement,
probably because they came OF good blood
originally when brought over, although
they have been abused or permitted to run
down. 1t needs only good treatment to
bring them up to a good point. This
is my experience. Kind treatment is
one of the principal sources of profit
in securing a diary herd. There
are cows-the Ayrshirss-that give more
milk, and the Jerseys, that have more
cream but for profit, on the whsIe,
the common native, so far as the writer's
experience goes. surpasses them both, only,
however, when the treatment is diScrimi-
native and thorough. Then the advantage.
with the whole herd will be similar to that
OF the cow separated from it. But pains
are seldom taken, and the principle is not
sufficiently understood to enable every
one to succeed as we'll as he may desire,

remaining members Of our seagoing ironclad
navy,t the only ssa-worthy ships are the Pc
nelope, Achilles, Agineours, Minota~r, Nor
cumberland, Black Prince, Warrior, Defence,
Resistance, Hector, and TuLiant ; and of
these the Penelope is the only ship that
has armour so much as 6 inches thick, the
plating of the remainder varying from 4
to 81 inches in thickness. Now, what we
wish to call particular attention to is this,
that while the building of the Thmderer,
Dreadnought, TSmsra1re, and Alexandra
drag on their weary way from year to
year for want of workmen, nearly half
the annual shipbuilding vote is expended
in patching up numbers ofthe eleven abso-
Iete and virtually useless ships we have just
named. To such an extent is this system
of " putting new cloth into old garments "
carried on that three or four good IRON
clad ships could be built every year with
the money, aad by the workmen now
employed in keeping this paper feet in
anything like repair. At the present
rate of progress the year 1873 will have
arrived before the InferibIe, Shannon,
Nelson. and Northampton will, with the
four ships just referred to, be added to

THE TRANSPORT OF FRESH MEAT
FROM NEW YORK TOLIVERPOOL.

The method now employed with
apparent success, to bring fresh meat
from New York to Liverpool, is
not, as heretofore supposed, q trade
secret The process is protected
by letters patent on both sides of the ocean,
and the prOprietors have shown q desire to
have the public generally acquainted with
it. A traveller who crossed the Atlantic
last winter in the steamer on which the
first experiment was made, writes as fol-
lows "A New York business man, in
terested ia the company, and entrusted
with the management of this first venture
was one Of the plssengers. He not only
made no trade secret Of the enterprise
he was engaged in, but took those of his
fellow-passengers who seemed interested
in the subject (myself among them) to the
part OF the steamer where the refrigerator
was placed, opening the door and explain
ing every point, in principle and practical
working, as clearly as possible. The prjn-
clple IS extremely simple, and it involves
no chemical process Or applications of any
kind, To keep fresh meat sound and
sweet during the ten or twelve days
needed to cross the ocean, it is necessary
to keep it dry and cool, without freezing
it. This was tho entire problem before
the inventor, and he has solved it by
purely mechanical means. The meat being
in one part Of the refrigerator and the ice
in another, a fan, worked day and night by
d small engine, keeps a constant stream Of
air passing over the meet and ice alternate
ly. This is the whole process, and there
is no secret behind it. OF course the air
from the ice keeps the meat cool, but not
as low as the freezing point. If in passing
through the meat-chamber, the air takes
up the slightest moisture this is necessari-
ly condensed into water as soon as it reach
es the ice again, aud it flows away in run
aways at the bottom of the ice-chambor
when collected in sufficient quantity"

THE LIFE SAVING TRUNK.
From the Hour.)

This valuable invention is of very mo-
derate dimensions (six cubic feet per indi-
yiIuaD weight about 70lbs. can be
used to carry clothes, &c. for ordinary
travelling purposes, and, in case of emer-
gency, can be instantly converted into a
Iife-boat, of which it has the essential
features, and it has been shown to possess
an extraordinary degree of safety. Two
occupants can keep themselves dry and
warm in the rcugh"st sea, and carry with
them provisions for q month. 1t occupies
only half the cubic space per individual Of
that of boats, and the inventor believes it
is destined in great measure to take their
place as a means of saving life. Mr.. Will
liam R. Gade publicly submitted his use
full and clever invention to q variety Of
stringent tests, all OF a thoroughly practi-
cal character, and the general verdict was
in the highest degree favourable to the
adoption of she trunk by the navy and
mercantile marine, and indeed by all who

THE BRITISH NAVY,
(FYom the Broad AYrow,)

The British Navy is not at present in
that state of efficiency, either as regard
numbers or state of repair, in which it
is not only desirable but absolutely ne
cessary that it should be. If war were
to be declared between this country and
any European Power during the coming
twelve months we should have only nine
really serviceabIe ironclad seagoing ships
with which to form a feet and of these
at least six are so thinly armoured that at
close quarters they would be very soon
placed hors de combat. The nine ships to
which we refer are the Devastation,
Sultan, Hercxles, Monarch, Beuerophon,
Triamph, SwJtsure, Inpinci6!e, and Iron
Duke ; the six last named being plated
with armour varying from 8 to only g
