FEED AND BREED OF DAIRY
COWS.

DR.. Sturtevant, of Massachusetts,,
closes paper contributed to the report
TO the Connecticut State Board of Agri-
culture, with the following summary of
the conclusions at which he has arrived
on this subject:
|. That the production of butter is
largely dependent on breed.
2. That there is structural limit to
the production Of butter, to each COW.
3. That when the cow is fed to this
limit, increased food cannot increase the
product.
4. That the superior COW has this
structural limit at great distance from
ordinary feed, and more ready to re-
spond to stimuli, than the inferior cow.
5. That the seperior is seldom fed
beyond her limit, and as a practical
conclusion, increased feed with SUI
perior lot of cows will increase the
butter product, but if fed to an inferior
lot Of cows, waste can but be the result
g. That the character of the food
has some influence on the character Of
the butter, but even here breed infu-
ences more than food.
I. That there is no constant relation
between the butter product and the
cheese product.
g. That the casein retains constant
percentage, and that this percentage
does not appear to respond to increase
of food
g. That the casein appears to remain
constant, without regard to the season
10. That increase in the quantity Of
milk is followed by an increase in the
total amount of casein.
IL. That insufficient feed acts direct
ly to check the proportion of butter,
and has tendency to decrease tha
casein of the milk and substitute albu-
men
- That the best practice Of feed
ing is to regulate the character of the
food by the character of the animals
fed; feeding superior cows nearer to the
limit of their production than inferior
cows; feeding, if for butter, more con-
centrated and nutritious foods than for
cheese, producing succulent material
which will increase the quantity Of the
milk yield

FORESTS AND HEALTH.
AMERICAN INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS.

The following paper on Forests and
Health was read by George May Powell,
chairman of the Forest Committee of
the Farmers Club.
In this mercenary age the financial
element Of the question Of forests in
relation to health even, sad as it may
seem, is the most potent one to present
to the people for consideration. We say
then save woodland because they con-
serve the public health, annually worth,
by even SO mean q guage as the money
scale, many millions of dollars in either
of the great States of the Union Any
family, for example, which in health
could accumulate $500 by year of toll
and economy may lose $500 of pre-
vious, saving if sickness intervenes
Thus the family is " out" $1,000 $500
that would have been gained, plus $500
drawn from the Bank. BY similar line
Of experience another family may be
out $4,000 and another more still, as
the price of sickness in single year.
The convulsive climatic condition of
change from high to low temperatures,
SO fearfully destructive to the lives of
men and brutes and of plant life even,
find in the proper adjustment of forests
shelter belts, their chief regulator. This
adjustment is realized in part by the
mechanical influence of trees in checking
the wind currents, which hurl the lev
air from the Northern mountains on us
to-day, and tomorrow, on = few hours
notice, relax our systems by flooding us
with warm air from the Southern re-
gions. BY their economy of solar
heat forests are capable also Of power
fully effecting extremes of temperature.
The influence of the healing, in the
atmosphere of the pines and the hem
lock is invaluable in lung and kindred
ailments. The conifera and all the other
trees also battle with the unseen mala-
rial enemies in the air by consuming
carbonic acid gas and other poisons
and rolling out volumes of life-giving
oxygen.

@ AS nothing is more natural than
for every one to desire to be happy, it is
not to be wondered at that the wisest
men in all ages, have spent SO much
time to discover what happiness is, and
wherein it chiefly consists. An eminent
writer, named Varro, reckons up no
less than two hundred and eighty
eight different opinions upon this sub
ject; and another, called Lucian, after
having giving US long catalogue of
the nations of several philosophers, en-.
beavers to show the absurdity of all of
them, without establishing anything of
his own.

give fear that the purest tongue
will need much purifying before it is
fit to join in the celestial praises of
Gods holy temple. For that worship
let us attune our voices by ceaseless
prayers, by words of love, by earnest
vindicatons of the right, by babtual
speech seasoned with salt of divine
grace. The melody of heaven will
spring from harmony of hearts; each
voice there will bear part in the song
of Moses and the Lamb.

COME NEAR TO ME.

COME NEAR TO Me.
The way is long! Come near to me;
l cannot live afar from Thee,
Nor journey to my home above,
Unless Thou aid me with Thy love.
So many errors clog my soul
So many evils round me roll;
/ faint with all the weary strife
Come near me, Lord, for Thou art life,
The thorns seem thicker than the bloom,
Edging the pathway to the tomb;
They pierce-and whittier shall flee,
Except, dear Lord, flee to Thee?
Come near at morning, noon, and night;
Be Thy sweet presence my delight;
Thy gracious comfort freely give,
That may look to Thee and live.
And, oh at last when shall feel
The damps of death upon me steal,
Disclose to my dim, fading eyes,
The opening gate of Paradise.

E A practical dairyman sends the
following about rendering Winter churn-
ing easy: Strain the milk into pans
and set them on pot Of boiling water
on the stove. Heat the milk quite hot,
but not so as to scald Set away the
pans, and in So hours thick cream will
have formed. At each skinming stir
the cream we'll together, and, when
enough for churning has accumulated,
take care, in cold weather, to have the
chill taken off the cream then scald the
churn, put in the cream, and churn gen.
tly; and if the butter does not come in
less than ten minutes, you may judge
that Y our cream is too cold.

W-It is our philosophical curiosity
or impertinence that runs forward and
undertakes to say that Gods providence
works in this way, or that way, or the
other way. 1t is the attempting to
arrive at explanation of the providence
of God that brings US to grief in our
reasonings.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 10 The closing arguments

r BrCadhe3d. OF the special counsel Tor the

and the outer doors were kept locked all the

which the jury had gwen during the
ten DAYS OF Tie trial preceding, aud his
belief that the jurors meant TO do their
uty, Col. Broadhead Sid: Tie government

To national existence. 1t is Tor you
simply to inquire IL the law has been

for you 10 take coyniZance of it, and the pun

THE SENATE was not 10 session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
session OF the House was for debate only but
there was An unusually large attendance for

MI. Chittenden IN. " made a speech adj
yocatlng the funding OF the legal ten

we had too much currency, aud that
It's redundancy was running the coun-

siness OF the country demanded contraction.

SoUELcHING A PANIC.-The Boston Ad-
yertiser says that al place OF amusement in
New York, lately, false alarm OF fire wes
raised, and general panic was imminent
The proprietor Went upon the stage aud re-
stored order by the following speech, which
should have effect upon the thoughtless and
the timid IN all similar cases:
Ladies and GegIflelaen:-There is no danger
III was false alarm. And now let me saw a
lew words. No one in all my experience was
ever burned in theater, but thousands have
been trampled to death or fatally Injured
through insensate panic. Even suppose that
there was any fire; IL all rush to the doors at
once, Is that the way 10 get out safely and in
an orderly manner? Now, what is the cause
OF all this panic? A ballet girl gets trodden
upon behind the scenes by an elephant and
she screams out. Some thoughtless persons
In the gallery hears her and shouts "Fire!-
and thereupon a well educated body OF spec
tators echo, without q moments considera-
ton, this most panic striking OF all cries,
and present melancholy spectacie-a mel
ancholy spectacle, 1 say-of want OF common
sense and presence OF mind. / wish IL TO be
known that In case OF actual fire this vast
place can be cleared with ease In two min
utes and half. Let us hope you ara now re
assured and will permit the performance to
proceed.
A riD ging cheer from the audiences was the
reply TO his speech, and thus q frightful ca
tastrophe was averted by a few well chosen
words delivered In resolute and happy
manner.
