An exchange in speaking of the proper
feeding and management of mich cows,
saws: Sir J. B. Lawes, has lately pub
lished some experiments by which he
finds that he can increase the fat in the
milk BY the use of rich food, or he can
reduce it by the use of poor watery
food. Considering this as settled that the
quality of milk is controlled by the quail
itv of the food, what an important in
terence may we draw in relation to the
general improvement of our cattle! 1t
is that every breed is yet capable OF
great improvement in all its points by
feeding.
Many cooks fancy that it is a great
undertaking to make rye bread, and to
have it good. Here are directions for
making it, and if carefully followed the
bread will be excellent: Take two cups
of Indian meal; make in a thick batter
with Scalding water; when cool, add
small cup of white bread sponge, little
sugar and salt, and a teaspoonful of
soda, dissolved In this stir as much
rye as is possible with a spoon; let it
rise until it is very light; then work in
with your hand as much rye as You can,
but do not knead it, as that will make it
hard; put in buttered bread-tins and
letitriSe for about fifteen minutes; then
bake for an hour and half, cooling the
oven gradually for the last twenty
A breeder of Hereford cattle says:

improves the Shorthorn-but not the
Hereford. hold that the Hereford is
of all the breeds, l crossed with any of
the other families that will maintain
down through several generations his
peculiarities-his dropped horns, his
white face and frosted brisket, his deep
chest and rounded ribs and bright red
colors.
As evidence of his ability to live in
cold climate, l may state that the hide
OF a whiteface will weigh from ten to
twenty-five pounds more than will the
hide from any other animal of the size
l. have ever tested, lest it be the buffalo.
