Cows HOLDING BACK MILK.-A COW carries her milk from one meal of her calf to another, or from one milking to another, held firmly in little reservoirs distributed all through the udder. The valves which open and close the pas sages from the reservoirs to the teats are under control of the will, but like the muscles which close the necks of the bladder, they are naturally and constantly kept closed, and are only re- faxed or opened by special effort of the will. At milking time these valves, by relaxation of the cords which control them, are opened, and the milk let down in flood upon the teats. This relaxa- tion does not last long. After a little while the special effort to hold open the valves ceases, and they instinctively close again, shutting off the flow from the reservoirs to the tsats, and retaining in the reservoirs any milk which may not have passed out.
 The habit of not "giving down'' con- sists in shortening the time of relaxa- tion, thus stopping the flow from the reservoirs to the teats before the milk is all drawn. The circumstances which tend to make COW shorten this period of relaxation are rough treatment, fear, grief, solicitude, loud noises in short, anything that attracts attention, and makes the COW uneasy. The circum- stances which induce a prolon ged re- taxation are comfort and quietude, and freedom from disturbance and excite ment.

VINEGAR CANDY.-One cup white sugar, one-half cup vinegar; boil till it crisps in cold water. This makes an excellent candy, and something benefi cial also, as it is good for colds. If the vinegar be very strong, take little less of it and some water; but for us the strength of the vinegar never hurts. When done, pour out on buttered plates, and either mark off in squares all inch or two wide as it cools, or else, when cool enough to handle, draw it until it is nice and white; then cut it into sticks.

AGRICULTURAL.

Coop DRAINAGE-From the fowl yards is as important consideration towards keeping the stock in health and thrift as is plenty of sunlight in the houses and thorough ventilation, at any season of the year.
 . Surface water should never be allowed to stand upon the ground where the poultry run. A knoll, bank or hill, is the best location for the chicken house and the yards where the fowls are kept. Unless the premises are well drained, either naturally or artificially, disease will generally be generated from the wet surface of the ground; and a flat or concave yard, in or upon which the rains may settle, and form pools around it, is wretched place, indeed, in which to attempt to keep the birds.
 A knoll or mound may be raised by blowing the ground over several times, throwing the soil constantly toward the centre, or by "back-furrowing, as it is called by farmers in certain sections. A common ditch inside the yard is of little account, unless the incline outwards is very sharp. A narrow, small ditch will soon get filled up by the hens scratching loose earth into It. A ditch around a yard outside, leading to lower ground, is of far greater service.
 But, through whatever means the drainage is affected, it, should be thor oughlg done where the land lies flat around the fowl houses, Even if the top-water does not show itself, such grounds are always excessively damp and very unhealthy. And this fact, ex- isting in many instances, may give many poulterers the clue to the causes of diseases with which they often find their fowls afflicted, and which they at tribute to all else save this bad or insuf- cient drainage of their grounds Poultry World,

THERE is story told of two Scotch lads who knew little of gunnery and Natural history, but were familiar with King James's Bible, and of the winged heads that pass for cherubs in painting and sculpture. Going out gunning together, one of them shot a bird and the other ran to secure the trophy. Coming near where it had fallen, he found an owl so sprawled in the grass as to present to his view only head with staring eyes and a pair of wings attached. Instantly he shouted ill dis may: ''We're in for it now, Jack ; we've shot a cherubim !"

HUMOROUS.

A CHIROPoDIsT's CARD.-A corn doc- tor was summoned by man who lived four miles out of the city. Hastily gathering up his case of instruments, files and acids, he walked through the pouring rain to the address indicated, and was shown into the parlor. The physician sent up his card, and shortly after the door opened, and f1orid man, with unsteady legs, entered the apart ment.
 "How do, Doc? Take a seat. Didn't think you'd come out in this rain, but you're regular brick, and knew it when read your card. 1 wish ou'd come and live out here. The whole neighborhood are set of darned teeto- talers."
 The practitioner opened his case of put up his foot on chair. The man assented, remarking that he never felt more comfortable in his life. He re- sented, however, all efforts of the doctor to pull off his socks, and threatened to shoot him for attempting to haul his boots off.
 ''How can I treat you until see your corns ?" cried the chiropodist.
 "Corns be blowed!" answered the dweller in the suburbs. ''I ain't got no corns. Don't your card say, Gen tlemen treated at their own residences p and sent for you because 1 am out of liquor, and 1 want some brandy pretty darned quick!'
 There was T cry of anguish as the doctor took his largest file and rubbed all the skin off his patients nose.

PuRr ANGELES, Nov. 20, 1877.
EDITOR Argus Our farmers and
loggrrs are resting in thankful re-
pose after the labor Of the last boun-
titul harvest of the various produc.
tons Of this long neglected county
Of CIallam.
A great part of the potatoes raised
at Dunginess were purchased by the
Nseah bay Indians, paying cash for
them in the fields. That tribe num-
bers over six hundred, and when their
aummer fishing is over, they make
raid to our farmers; dig potatoes and
return with canoe loads after depos'
ting considerable coin among the
farmers. They are much pleased
with the change of agents, and say
now they can 60 where they can get
their moneys worth without fear Of
the block house.
The settlers in this county are 60
ing to petition the Postmaster Cen
eral for steam on the Neeah bay
mail route. All agree that if there
was steam communication between
Port Townsend and Neeah bay, the
county would settle up by men who
would develop its agricultural and
commercial wealth. There are peti.
tions in all the post offices on tho
route, asking the Postmaster General
for steam mail service the next con.
tract. If Port Townsend people only
wake up to their interest, they will do
al in their power to help us by Pc
titions and otherwise.
This mail route serves over 128
miles of coast, the settlers Of which
depend on a small schooner, Is tons
burthen, for u weekly mail; and on
which to move from place to place.
Many emigrants have landed at Port
Townsend, and probably would have
settled in this .courty il there were
accommodations to travel. The
present mail contractors do the best
they can to accommodate the people,
but the subsidy is too small for q
larger vessel, and if an effort is not
made for steam next contract, we
will be doomed for another four years
to the same.
Polt Townsend is as much inter.
osted in this as we are, for it being
the terminus, all orders will go there.
The next four years will bring
many changes; Saw.mill will be
built here or at Clallam Bay, also
fisheries and salt works will make
the business too great for a small
schooner, so now is the time to act.
Let Port Townsend give us q lift
and by every fair means help us to
secure it. In the language of the
Port Townsend Poet, we say:
Sail boat for mailboat
Always mighty slow
Now we want a steamboat
To make the peoplego. 4
