Colonel B was standing in the

If two persons are to occupy q
bedroom during the night, let them
step upon weighing scales as they re-
tire, and then again in the morning,
and they will find their actual weight
is at least pound less in tine morn
ing. Frequently the loss will be
more, and the average loss through
out the year will be all of that.
That is, during the night there is a
loss of pound of matter, which has
gone off from their bodies, partly
through their lungs and partly
through the pores of the skin. The
escaped material is carbonic acid and
refuse animal matter, or poisonous
exhalations. This is diffused through
the air in part, and in part absorbed
by the bed clothes. If a single
ounce of cotton or wood be burned
in a room, it will SO completely satu.
rate the air with smoke that one can
hardly breathe, though there can only
be one ounce of foreign matter in the
air. II an ounce of cotton be burned
every half hour during the night, the
air will be kept continually saturated
with smoke, unless there be an open
door or window for its escape. Now
the sixteen ounces Of smoke thus
formed is far less poisonous than the
sixteen ounces of exhalations from
the lungs Of two persons Who have
lost pound in weight during eight
hours Of sleeping; for while the dry
smoke is mainly taken into the lungs,
the damp odors from the body arc
absorbed both into the lungs and into
the pores Of the whole body. Need
more be said 10 show the importance
Of having bedrooms well ventilated,
and Of thoroughly airing the sheets,

P. Pull, South Berlin, RENSSELAER,
county, N. Y, writes to the N. Y.
Farmers Club: "The question is
often asked, what is the best breed of
cattle for the dairy? Farmers disa-
gree, which is owing to these circum-
stances. l have been in the dairy
business over fifty years; have had
almost all breeds of cattle; all are
good in the right place. The short
horns are large and handsome; better
for the west than the east; take on
flesh very quickly, and are better for
the butcher than the dairy. Ayrshire
cows are small, but small mixers.
If had rough farm, hilly, stony,
good distance TO drive to pasture,
probably would get the Ayrshire
breed. The Devons are handsome
and give but little milk. If wanted
to raise oxen for work l should get
the Devons. never owned Jerseys.
They are said to be small mixers,
good for butter, and seem to me to
be a tender breed Of cattle for this
country, l prefer the COW which gives
the most milk. II a COW will give
twenty. Eve quarts of milk per day
she would be more profitable than
another which gave only eighteen
quarts. Then if you sent your milk
to the factory to be made into cheese,
or sent it to the market, the more
milk The more profit. II man keeps
but one or two COWS it will be no
criterion. Compare them with
herd of twenty-five or thirty cows
and they will fall short considerably.
l prefer the Holstein to any other
breed of cattle l ever owned. They
are noted for their milking qualities.
Running with herd of twenty-five
cows, the pure blood and grades are
the best. The Holstein are very
handsome; jet black forward and
rear, = bright white blanket around
the body, (some black with white
spots on them;) are very docile;
small head, eyes clear, large, mild
and sparkling; horns short; neck
small at the head; straight on the
back; heavy quarters; short legs;
udder large and square; teats stand
well apart; hair soft and fine. They
are Dutch cattle, and will match any
cattle in the world"

The agriculturist often complains
of the learned and professional world
Of the contempt with which they
speak Of the farmer and his calling.
But the truth ia undeniable that tho
farmer by his own conduct and pro-
fessions does more to degrade his po-
sition than those who are engaged in
other professions and industries. The
outward dress and badge Of the
farmer is no disgrace except in the
eyes Of fops and fools. The sensible
world knows he cannot dress every
day in fine linen; and If he did they
would at once decide that he could
not be trusted ut bank, and that
mortgages would soon swallow his
farm. There are many errors in the
educational prejudices of the farmer
even against his own business, which
are the children of ignorance. Col.
Scott, in reviewing this subject, en-
bodies many truths which it would be
well tor us to ponder. "The average
tiller of the soil lacks faith in his call
ing. He is prone to regard the earth
and its seasons as capricious. and
wanting in sympathy with his labors;
he evinces this in his forebodings as
to the future and his discomfort with
the present. He imbues his sons with
the same feeling, and they forsake
the farm for the shop, for trade or
for a profession. His daughters take
the same idea, and they favor the
suit of the fine. haired youth in fine
clothes, rather than that of the
bDnzed and brawny young man who
faces sun and storm without fear or
care. The children follow the father
in contempt for the substance and
admiration for the shadow. He far
ther shows his want of faith in the
business, by failing 10 investigate its
principles, to note carefully its teach
ings. Success is too often regarded
as the result Of chance, and misfor-
tune is rarely imputed to aught else
than bad luck The lesson OF facts
is unheeded, theory based on cre-
dulity occupies the theme.'-&ats
