Fresh Air in the bedroom.

How much air can be safely admitted into
a sleeping or living room, Is "A common ques-
ton. Rather, it should be considered how
rapidly air can be admitted, without injury
or risk, and at how low a temperature. We
cannot have too much fresh air 50 long
we are warm enough and are not exposed to
draughts. What Is "A draught; 1t is swift
current of air, at temperature lower than
the body which robs either the whole body,
or an exposed part, Of its heat so rapidly as
to disturb the equilibrium of our circulation
and give us cold. Young and healthy per
sons can habltuate themselves to sleeping in
even strong draught, as from an open win
dow, If they cover themselves in cold wealth
cr with au abundance Of bedcluthes. But
those who have been long accustomed to be-
ing sheltered from the outer air by sleeping
in warmed and nearly or quite shut up rooms,
are too susceptible to cold to bear direct
draught of cold air. Persons over 20 years
of age, moreover, with lower vitality than in
their youth, will not bear low temperature,
even in the air they breathe. Like hot house
plants they may be killed by a winter nights
chill, and must be protected by warmth at all
times. As rule We may say that, except
for the most robust, the air which enters at
night into sleeping chamber should, in cold
weather be admitted gradually only by cracks
or moderate openings; or should have Its
force broken by some interposed obstacle US
a curtain, etc, TO avert its blowing immediate
ly upon sleeper in his bed. The ancient
fashion, however, Of having bed-curtains,
which excluded almost all the air, has rightly
become almost obsolete. No wonder that PEG.

MINed Feed for Cow.

A correspondent of the Newark On. j. Ad-
vertiser, who attended the recent meeting of
the State Board of visitors at Rutgers College,
New Brunswick, gives the following account
of the Experimental Agricultural Station To-
Gated at that place. The Director of the sta
ton, Professor Cook, made report of what
the station has accomplished since its organ
ization less than year ago. The station has
a room free of rent from the college, aud in
this room there is perfect working labora-
tory, where analyses are made and expert
ments are conducted. Farmers from any
part of the State can send specimens here
and have them analysed free of expense. The
Director of the Station and Professor Neill,
who is the chemist here, devoted considerable
time the past season TO the subject of fertil-
izers. There are manufactured in this State
annually about SO, 900, 600 worth of special fer
tilizers and some of these are used in every
county of the State, and the market value of
each can only be known by correct analyses.
The number of these that have been made
during the last eight months foot up to 93,
aud 20 Of different varieties of folders and so
of milk.
Some very interesting experiments have
been conducted by the Station to test the val
ne of mixed feed for cattle and to test the

value Of different breeds for butter and milk.
The details of these experiments are exceed
mgly interesting There were six animals
selected in as many different herds in different
parts of the State. The food both in guam
tity. kind and weight, was alike in each place
and weighed out accurately, and the cattle
we're weighed before and after the expert
ments The food in each instance consisted
of for the six head of cattle per day 10
pounds wheat straw, - pounds clover hay,
llj pounds brewers grains, 10 pounds tur-
nips II pounds cottonseed meal. This, at
the market price Of tho articles, would make
it cost per head just eighteen cents. The OK
pertinent was carried on sixteen days and the
milk tested thirteen Of these.
With Jersey herd Of six in Burlington,
another of the same number in Camden, and
still another of grades in NIiddlesex, the Jer
sey cows averaged lot quarts of milk day
in both instances. This was found to yield
1i} per cent of solid matter of which 2l-
100 per cent was butter, { 93-10O per cent.
of sugar and 97-1OO of cheese. The Jersey
cattle did not vary per cont in the results,
and the milk of Jersey cows in Sussex county
gave within a fraction of the same results.
The yield from the grade cows on the College
Farm gave an average of lOi quarts of milk
per day, yielding - 3l.1Oo of solid matter,
of which a was butter, 3 3l.10O cheese, and
1 S2.1OO sugar.
The cattle with one exception, improved
in weight and by using the mixture of food
given above, the expense Of feeding was re-
duced about one half over feeding clover hay.
This shows conclusiyey that with the same
quantity of food the Jersey cattle give as
much milk rs grades, and of better quality.
These experiments with milk will be carried
on next year on a more extended scale and
with more accuracy in all the details.

The CALIFORNIA WINE CRoP of 1850 is in
excess of the estimates of the most sanguine.
The yield will be more than l., COO 600 gallons,
of which ,OCO, coo gallons will be reserved for
brandy. In Los Angeles county there are
/, $50 600 gallons in the hands of the wine
makers For other counties the yield is as
follows Santa Clara, 1000, 600 gallons
Sonoma, 800, 600; Napa, 100000. Not
withstanding the increased production, the
makers will get prices from five to twenty
five per cent. higher than last year. One
wealthy wine maker Of Sonoma county, who
has over 100 acres i'll his vineyard, got this
year over four tons of grapes to the acre.
His total wine product this year is 10000
gallons, for which he will receive 81 cents
per gallon against - cents last year BY the
new railroad connection, SOnoma county
wine is shipped to the great wine merchants
of San Francisco at a cost of Il cents per
gallon. As might be expected, land in the
wine-growing districts is not to be bought
for a song. The price varies from y to s.
per acre. A great impetus has been given to
the California wine industry by the growing
appreciation of native wines, and also by the
rayages of the phylloxera in France.
