it without hire or other recompense

The Cows uddar.

The cows udder, with its teats, is not
mere vessel with pipes for outlets, but
mass of intricate ducts, which run to-
| gether very much like those of sponge.
The skin of the teat is turned back, and
under it at the extremity the ,fibrous tis-
sue of which the sphincter muscle is
| formed. This muscle is voluntary one,
and subject to the COWS will, by which
! she contracts it, and. so closes the outlet
of the teat and prevents the escape of
the milk. Its (says Mr. Henry Stewart
in the Rural NeW Yorker by the contrac-
ton OF this muscle as we'll as by the
contraction of the whole udder, that the
COW holds up her milk when so disposed,
and one may see when a COW is thus en-
gagged in thwarting the desires of the
mixer, how she will lift up the udder
and contract it, and so draw together the
sponge-like mass of ducts and cause it
to retain the milk.
The structure of the teat may thus be
explained. In the center are the lactif-
erous ducts which runinto each other in
precisely the same manner as the cells of
a sponge around these ducts and hold
ing them, as it were, in place, is a
fibrous tissue which is extremely elastic,
which is part of the tibrous structure
of the udder. Around this mass of It's
sue and the connecting ducts which ram.
ify through it, is a layerof glandular tis
sue which is the same as that of the ud-
der. These glands are made up of vesi-
cles clustered upon fine tubular ducts,
like grapes upon their stalks, secreting
the milk which flows through the fine
duets into the larger ducts, where the
milk secreted from these glands meet
that which flows down from the udder,
so that the teat is really part of the I'D
der and does its part in producing milk,
and is not a mere channel for it's passage
from the udder. A section of the udder
ia fact shows a very similar structure, in
each of the glands or quarters to that of
the teat, and the teat really differs from
the udder in it's structure only at its eX-
tremity, where the real channel for the
escape of the milk is very short and no
longer than the thickness of the muscu-
lar covering.
For these reasons one should be very
cautious about interfering with the ope-
ration of the. teat, and especially in try
ing to push anything into it. At times
it is necessary to do this, but quills and
straws are extremely objectional. But
every one who owns a COW should have
and keep silver tube expressly for this
purpose, as he may never know the day
when he will want to use it.-Westerl

How to Make Pickles.

We have just been preparing some
spiced cucumber pickles after the time
honored recipe used in the family for
years, and | can recommend it to the
readers of the Country Gentleman for
its simplicity, as well as the good keep
ing quality OF the pickles when made.
The rule is for one hundred medium
sized cucumbers, and the ingredients are
to be increased in proportion if larger
number is needed:
Rinse and scrub lightly with vegeta-
BILE brush, and lay them in an earthen
crock. Dissolve one pint of coarse salt
III boiling water, and cover the pickles
with this and let them stand twentv-four
hours. Then pour off the brine, wipe
the pickles and put them back into the
jar.
Heat to scalding, vinegar enough to
cover ut may take two or three quarts)
and add piece of alum half as large as a
thlmble, tablespoonful each of whole
cloves and allspice, and few pieces o.
stick cinnamon Pour hot over the Gu
cumbers, and set them away in cool
dark place. They will be nice in two o
three weeks.
Ii any woman, after trying this rule
choose to return to recipe which re
quires the vinegar to be scalded min,
times, &C., promise to take no offence
but shall be surprised at her love for un
necessary labor!
Another favorite for winter, whicl
makes pleasing variety, is picked re,
cabbage. Wash, trim and cut the cab
bage into pieces. Scald good cider vine
gor, putting small bag of mixed spice
and d bit of alum in it. Put the cabbag
into the kettle and let it cook fel
minutes. A little salt may be added
Keep in an earthen jar, with cover.
All pickles should be made in
porcelain-lined kettle, or (better still
one of the light, durable granite or agat
ware which are superseding the old
I fashioned ones. A silver or wooden for
or spoon is necessary. Be sure that tn
vinegar isEgenuine, as upon that on
point the success of the work depend
