EARLY FATTENING Ol PIGS.—Itis time to 'begin fattening pigs. Cold weather will soon arrive, when a targe proportion of the food will be used up in maintaining the an- umal heat. A pound of fat may b3 made now, at half the coat of that which may be made later. A good many pigs that have been neg- 3ected until too late, will cost all they are worth for their feeding, and might batter be knocked on the head at once, and the food put to better uses, Every farmer should know that the firat fat pias that are sold are always the most profitable. OAK STICKS.—October, November, D a Im. ber-cut sticks, retain their toughness and elasticity longer than those out at any other time of the year. There should be a number secured every year such as will be useful for binding poles, plow -beams, wagon- tonguee, and similar things. Don't out a sin- gle sapling that ought to stand to make a tree. Le ere the bark ou, and lay the sticks up to season, White Dake, grown on up- land hill -sides, if you can spare them, con- sidering that they will be worth a great deal fifty years Bence, are the sticks to cut. WHITE FLECKS IN BUTTER —The white decks wh oh occur in butter when it is taken from the churn, disappe'r if properly work- ed. The butter should be removed from the churn, after washing in the granular form. It should be salted before working, with mach more salt than is desirable to have re- tained in the butter, working it in slightly. Brine will form, and collect in the bowl. Turn the butter over in the brine, and divide it a few times with the ladle. After three to six hours, work the butter to a uniform consistency, bat no more, rinsing with a lit- tle cold water. The speaks will have disap- peared. SHELTER FROM STORMS. -As the weather grows colder, svelter for sheep and cows, anu eapeciatly the young animate, ie very necessary. It is equally necessary in the warmer southern climate. as in thenorth, because it is not the actual, but the relative cold which hurts. A reduction of tempera. tore from fifty to thirty degrees, is not so injurious as that from , ighty to fifty degrees when storms prevail, because the suffering is greater. The heavy rains, too, whish pre. vail in the South, load down the sheep with a heavy weight of water, under which those Stith thick fleeces, are eometimea unable to rise. A roof overheard, with a few boards all around the upper part, leaving all 'aides open near the bottom, is convenient, and •easily made. CAUSE Or STRONG BUTTER —There are several'rea one for batt r becoming atrong, Among them are : using palls and pans that are not thoroughly cleansed from stale milk ; setting the milk in damp, badly ventilated cellars or milk -houses ; keeping the milk too long, until it gets very sour ; churning too slowly, or in an unclean churn ; not tak- ing ,all the butter -milk out of the butter; beeping the butter in a warm, " badly -aired •or mouldy place ; these all cause the butter to become strong, whi :h is the effect of de- composition in it. The food or water of the cow, will also comae this trouble. LICE -DESTROYING NEST EGG,—An ex- change describes nest eggs, Hale by filling blown egg -shells with plaster of Paris, to which a few drops of carbolic acid is aided. It is thus accompli-hed: by malting a large hole in one end of an egg, and a pin-hole in • i'e other, the ocatents may be blown out. Pias er ne Paris, whichmay,be bought at the •druggist'.', or of the dealer in masons and painter's supplies, when wet with water to the consistency of thick cream, will soon set as hard as stone. The mixture with water is made, the carbolic acid stirred in, and the shell is fii,ed. It makes a perfect nest egg, and the warmth of the hen gradually eva- p rates the carbolic aoid. This Is said to be a,,,re death to the lice ; at least, it prevents nests becoming such a harbor for them as they usually are. WHY MILE ON THE RIGi1T SIDE OF THE COW i --It is a meie matter of custom. The right hand is usually strongeat, and ought to be next to those teats which are hardest to drain, or whioh have the most milk, in order that all may be finished about the 'same time. It is a clear watts of time to finish with the one set of teats, before the others are half milk milked out. Still, while moat, gentle cows will allow themselves to be milked from either side, many will not, and it is most convenient to milk all the vows in one stable on the 'same aide, because the cow quickly leerna to put herself in a convenient position, and because several milkers may be at work at once, and would Interfere with One another, should they go to either side of the cow indiscriminately. Aa Usual, the right aide it right, CORN AND Con MEAL. --,An Ontario far- mer says : t` My neighbors, men of expperi• ewes in stock raising, claim it is not disk - able to grind corn and orb together ; please inform me Whether it i* or not Z" Your neighbor* are right, and we are glad to know' of anybody's neighbors, who are at the same time practical, old-fashioned far- mers, who do not aging to the absurd prat). time of leaking their ei,ttle eat cob -meal, which is little, if any bet'er than to much sawdust. In fact, they wonid digest a pp or• tion of the sawdust Were it tolerably fine, It is like making a are of water -soaked, "closely" wood, whioh in burning eonsumeq ' all its own heat in evaporating its own water. 80 if oat le had nothing but earn cubs to eat, they would starve to death.

The secret of it is, in part, the ea - pfd didusion of the morbid partiolee, thus greatly diluting them, as mineral poisons may be rendered harmless by dilution. Bo great is this diffusive tendency, acting with the constant oirouiatitn of the air in vast e. currents, that though every variety of harm- ful gases and miasma is incessantly thrown into the air of our large titles, no difference on he detected by analysis between the air t of the latter end the air ot our rurat dis- tricts. .But another explanatory fact is the actual disinfecting power of sunshine and oxygen. It es the inhaled oxygen that changes the dark, impure venous blood into the pure scarlet blood of the arteries. It it the chemi- cal power of sunshine that gives no our won- derful photographs: It is the sunshine that bleached the cotton cloth laid on the grass, me, on the other hand, changes the pure white of a potato -villa grown M a cellar to dark green when transferred tothe open air. Hence, in our Iate armies. notwithstand- ing so many -unhealthy conditions, tylihoid fever never tended to spread, and wars al- most never fatal. It is for this reason that, in all infectious di'easee, the physician in. slats on a free circulation of air in the sick. room. An interesting illustration of the acme thing is furnished by the celebrated Dr. Richardson, of England. He finds that the vagrant class, who have no homes, but sleep anywhere and get food anyhow, rarely crn- traot contagious diseases, and more rarely convey them, and that, too, though they wear oast -cif, and, often, infected clothing and occupy the worst of lodging -houses, The gypales also are remarkably free from preading diseases ; they know little of sall. pox, though little .protected by vaccinatioes One seldom finds among them diseates of a scrofulous n.ture. Dr. Richardson con- cludes that poverty in itself has nothing to do with the occurrence of zymotic (infec- tioue) diseases; that fresh air ie the one mighty disinfectant, and that luxury and density ot population are the two bad spirits . which core are up the great physical evils of humanity. Notes. At the recent French Cenferenee for the advancement of science, some interesting experiments were made on hysterical pa- tients with drugs which were not actually administered, but were planed on the back of the patients' heads, and were used without their knowledge. Under these circumstances opium produced sleep, alcohol caused drunkenness, and abeenthe brought on para. lysis of the lege. In women, camphor gave rise to religious ecstasy, and in men convul- sions ; many drugs were employed, and all of them gave their characteristic effects, though they were all contained in phials or wrapped in paper. It ®sane that from a soieutific point of view, perfectly loan hands are an impossi- bility. In the Gazette Medici I aliana Dr. Forster says that after the most diligent washings and brushings with soap and water and rinsings with carbolic acid and other disinfectants, the hands remained so impure that upon touching the fingers to sterilized gelatine micro-organisms were rapidly de- veloped. The Doctor found, indeed, that on rinsing the hands with a solution of 1 to 1,000 of corrosive sublimate they became "scientifically cleansed" for the time, but that in wiping them upon a towel not pre- viously disinfeoted they returned to their cad condition of uncleanliness. Dr. Black of Philadelphia gives ten laws of health, the observance of5which, he says, will lead men and women to 'live as they ought to live, free from oisease, and die as they ought to die, from old age." They are —1. Breathe pure air. 2. Take wholesome food and drink. 3 Take adequate out -door exercise. 4 Use adequate and unoonstrain- iog covering for the body. 5. Observe sex- ual continence. G. Live where the climate is adapted to your phyaical needs. 7. Avoid constraining and dangerous occupations, 8. Regard personal cleanliness. 9. Keep the mind tranquil. 10. Avoid marriage with a blood'reletton. ITF;M$ OB IN rERE8 . Bog oak and Irish diamond jewels ar 00 0e more worn in London. Only two children have been born in the White Rouse since it was built.

A Princess's Beautiful Smile. A correspondent of the Spectator gives the following interesting incident, one of many, during the royal visit to Ireland: ",The Prince and the Princess were nearly due, and the streets were packed with people I took my stand on College Gieen, holding on tight by the lamp post, Close behind me, at the edge of the curbstone, stood a woman bent with age, miserably clad, with snow-white hair. She held a meagre paper of pins and a few boot -laces in her wasted hands. She was the barest figment of the hawker beggar, whose existence is a constant struggle or compromise with the police. The crowd thrilled with expectation, the royal cortege came up, without the dis- tracting rapidity that is the London pace for Prince, and, es the carriage for which we were all looking passed my lamppost, the eyes of the Princess of Wales fell upon the figure of the old woman beside it, A quiok look of compassion—the pity that has no disdain in it—passed over the Prin- cess's face, and then a swif -, bright smile. The next instant she was gone, and the old woman, down whose wrinkled cheeks tears were stealing, stretched out her hands (with the pins and the boot -laces in them) in the attitude of fervent prayer, and said with passionate earnestness: "May the Lord lay (leave) the drown on your beauti- ful head until it's as white es mine, and only take it off to put one of His own in the place of it.'" The eclipse of the moon on the morning of the 24th ult. was an intereotingand impres- sive sight, as are all the movements of the celestial clockwork when they are rendered visible to the eye, To ate the shadow of the earth crossing the face of the moon 240,000 miles away was certainly a spectacle worth beholding, for although the earth has a big and long shadow, it never becomes visible to us except when the moon happens to run across it far out in space, Perhaps there is nothing which gives a clearer view of the progress of our rage from the superstitious ignorance of its childhood to its present knowedge of the lava of nature than the history of eclipses. As the Child Is affrighted by its own shadow, so the ane clouts were alarmed When they saw What seemed to them a black monster devouring the moon. Now every schoolboy knows it Is the shadow of the earth that hides the moon in an eclipse, and an event whioh for' nearly would have Convulsed minions with terror passes without even the notice it de- serves as one of tho moist fm ireseivo phen- omena of the visible universe, Bet there are, still other shadows that ig- h Dranoo mist e* ak for r monsters.

The system being ready, a cold is not un• frequently excited by a cloae, heated atmos- phere. I think in a sore -throat cold the proximate cause is generally an unventilat- ed room and rarely external cold. Some habits which give tendency to colds should be mentioned. Atnong theta are hot drinks (which in addition to flooding and weakening,the stomach, open the skin and increase the seneibility to external changet), the use of warm water baths, espetaally hot foot -bathe, sleeping in close, unventilated rooms ; but tenfold more miochlevoue than all these is the eating exceasive quantities of tech meats and pastry, The old saw, "stuff a cold and starve a feveree has been the source of muoh mischief.
