Comfort for Cows. — Now that the I
cokl season is upon us, let the cows,
especially the milk-givers, all I
needful attention. They should be I
well housed and well fed. The stables
should be just moderately warm, well
ventilated, clean, and provided with
suitable bedding. Aside from tbej
mere matter ot food and drink, thel
animals should be kept comfortable.
This matter can hardly be over-esti-j
mated.
Then, as to fodder : part of this, of
course, should be straw and hay and
cornstalks; but to expect cows to give
much milk on such lean fare is folly.
Favor them with messes of chopped
roots, of cut straw, or stalks mixed
with meal of some kind. A favorite
mess for cattle, with a friend of ours
is this : Cut up hay, or straw, or stalks
in pieces not more than an inch or inch
and a half long, put the provender in
a tub or tight box, and pour boiling]
water upon it; then sprinkle on a
little salt, and cover the whole with
a little bran or meal to keep the steam
in. When cold, feed it in messes of a
bushel at a time. Good as this is, it
should be varied from time to time,
for cows like variety as well as men.
Cows should be salted two or three
times a week. In mild woathei they
should range by day in a commodious
yard, protected on two sides, at least,
by covered sheds. And this yard
should have a pen-stock of running
water, or a trough kept’ full from a
good pump; the first is the best.

Natural Life of tiie Honey Bee.
The majority of persons who have
the care of bees, entertain the idea
that the worker-bees live many years.
Their conclusion is drawn from the fact
that colonies sometimes inhabit the
same domicile a long period—ls or 20
y ears —never thinking that, as fast as
the bees die off naturally and from
other causes, they are continually re
placed by anew progeny. The nat-1
ural life of the honey-bee worker doesl
not exceed six months, and, from re-1
cent experiments, I believe, does notl
exceed, in the summer season, threel
months. By the aid of the Italian or|
Ligurion bee, this may be easily andß
satisfactorily tested. On the 2d oi
Julv last, I gave to a very powerful*
stock of native bees, a pure Italian*
queen. To-day, September 15, this!
stock was examined to asceitain whaj®
proportion] of the bees were of th®
Italian race. Taking out the frame®
one by one, both sides of the comb I
were carefully inspected, and, so far I
as I could ascertain, at least nine-1
tenths of the bees were purely Italian. \
Also, en the 17th of July,' r^rgffwW^
Italian queen to another stock of na
tive bees. This stock was also exam
ined to-day in the presence of a friend,
who assisted me in the examination.
Examining the combs, as before, we
did not find in this stock a single «a
tivebee! This change lias taken
place, as will be observed, in less than
two months. Since the 17th of July,
I have taken out of this colony combs
of maturing Italian brood giving
them to other stock—more than enough
to make a good colony of bees. I hus, |
it will be seen that the natural hie of
the honey-bee, in either of these in
stances, would scarcely exceed three
months; also that it requires only a
few months to change an apiary ot na
tive bees to those of the Italian race.*
Horses and Mules. —A correspond
dent of the N. Y. Spirit, writing froni
Virginia, says: “If my experience is
worth anything to Old W hip s theory
in Horses vs. Mules, you can tell hirn
that by actual experiment a pair of
horses will carry a plough, drill, har
row or wagon, over more ground, and
do work better, in eight hours, than
mules will in twelve. In seeding
wheat, I put in more with a pair of
carriage horses to a drill, running
them from 8 till 12 and from 2 to 6,
than I could do with mules from sun
to sun.
Tanning Skins with Fur on.—
Nail the fresh skins tightly and smoot
ly against a door, keeping the skinny
side out. Next proceed with a broad
bladed, blunt knife to scrape away all
loose pieces of flesh and fat; then rubj
in much chalk, and be not sparing of
labor; when the chalk begins to pow
der and fall off, take the skin down,
fill it with finely ground alum, wrap it
closely together, and keep it in a dry
place for two or three days; at the
end of that time unfold it, shake out
the alum, and the work is over.
Stacking Grain. —An old farmer
gives some arguments adverse to stack
ing grain—thrashing it from the shockl
instead. The farmer whose opinion!
is reported, says, that grain that is!
fit to stack is fit to thrash, and will
thrash better before than after stack
ing, can be thrashed cheaper from
the shock than after several times!
handling over. When it is practicable!
to dispense with stacking or putting!
into barn mows, grain may better go
to the granary at once.
A writer in the English Agricultu
ral Gazette recommends that a piece
of steel be kept constantly in the
water to which fowls have access.
Iron rust, he says, is an excellent
tonic. A roll of brimstone is also
recommended to be kept in the water. I

“What is a snob?” “A snob,
madam,” says Quilp, “is usually a
person of the feminine gender, and
may be known by several character
istics. She is polite to her superiors,
arrogant with those of lower station;
fawns on the rich, snubs the poor, and
pretends not to know her own mother
when she chances to meet the old lady
in unfashionable clothes. Jia*
plenty of brass and few brai»e
is always uneasy from a suspicion that
her intrinsic vulgarity may fail to be
hidden by her outward gentility.”

Gen. Riley, member of the Georgia
Senate, from Lumpkin Cos., was fired
upon by a man named Davis, while
sitting at his own fireside, and mor
