Cha racter OF Cows Milk.

Cows that are compelled 10 perform
much muscular labor. as in going far TO
pasture, or to roam over alarge area In
order to fnd supply OF food, or to
climb mountainous pastures, will be
found to give milk deficient in butter,
with an increase OF casein. So when
cows are poorly sheltered from The cold

by the respiratory process in the effort
OF nature to keep warm. The cattle of
Switzerland. which pasture in exposed
situations and are obliged to use much
muscular exertion, yield very small
quantity of butter, but a large proper.
tion of cheese, yet the same cattle when
stall fed furnish large amount of but

The kind, quality and quantity Of food
supplied to the COW, together with at
mospheric influences and general sur

character of the milk produced.

Hints for Damp Weather.

Baths are refreshing in damp seasons.
Clothes should be worn warm, but not
heavy and thick. Light woolens are
the best for wear, not too much fur.--
Silk is good wear for these close ses.
sons. AS We have said before, be sure
to have such. layers of material that the
moist atmosphere does not penetrate to
the skin, and that the outer one absorbs
it. But nothing more important in such
season than light food. Heavy, greasy
dishes cannot be digested, and the blood
becomes feverish. "A moderate amount
of meat is sufficient; much fish, poultry,
game, where it can be afforded, plenty
of vegetables and fruits. Soups are
very good dishes in such weather, nour-
ishing stews, stewed fruits, light pud.

in damp weather the system does not
get warmed. chills follow, and sickness

Cure for HOOf Rot,

There are many sores on cattle, which,
if kept constantly washed clean with
cold water and kept free from dirt,
would heal of themselves A very care
full herdsman says his practice of curing
hoof rot is to thoroughly cleanse the
affected parts with warm water and
soap, and then apply warm tar between
the houfs. In very bad cases there will
he large core to come out; remove it
carefully with the thumb and finger,
cleanse tue cavity as above, with soap
and water, and then fill it With warm
tar, even if it is necessary to use band-
age Keep the animal in clean, dry
pasture. 1t is no more liable to affect
tie whole system than any other ulcer
When once cured there is no danger Of
its appearing again unless from the
same cause.

Little Things.

More depends or little things than we
think. 1t is said that Voltaire, when
five years old, learned an iniddl poem,
and he was never able to free himself
from it's effects. Scott, the commenta-
tor, when despairing, read hymn of
DR. Watts, and was turned from life Of
idleness and sin to one of usefulness.
Cowper, about to drown himself, was
carried the wrong way by his driver, and
went home to write, "God moves in q
mysterious way" The rebuke of a
teacher reused DR.. Clarke to great &C.
ton, who up TO that time had been slow
in acquiring knowledge. Ole Bull, the
great violinist, rescued from suicide by
drowning and taken 10 the near resi-
dence of wealthy lady, became her
protege and soon acquired fame. Rob
ert Moffat, the distinguished missionary,
reading placard announcing mission
ary meeting, was led to devote himself
to work for the heather. One step
downward often leads men into the
greatest guilt. 1t is the little words and
actions that make or mar our lives

and his pockets were full of money. He
understood human nature and had made
q good sale.

According to the final official figures

generally in the proportion of two Or
three to one. Twenty-,hree of the States
also contain more rnen. than women, in.

A Curious Incident.

George H. Hall, New York artist,
tells the following story, which is of in
terest to physicians and prospective
mothers:
"1 met young girl the other day
whose picture painted before she was
born. 1t is as good portrait now as
many artists paint. 1 dare say, but the
incident is one OF the most curious in
my life. When ! began painting Span
ish subjects some twenty years ago, one
of my pictures representing Spanish
girl was so greatly admired by New
York lady that her child, born shortly
after she had seen the picture, had every
feature Of aSpanish girl, aud has devel-
oped into dark beauty, who would not
seem out OF place on balcony in Sew
lille. She is not unlike the picture
painted, aud l was surprised at the re-
semblance, but am now going to paint
picture of her in q Spanish setting and
surroundings, which will he portrait" :"
