Fixing Color in Cattle.
Riehardson, in his work on agfiettl-
ture, states that Coleornbet, an intelli-
gent French farmer, set to work to
build up a herd of white shorthorns, be-
ginning by purehasing the entire Eng-
lish Herd Book, and every volume of
the French. -Then,with the patience
of a, Benedictine' Monk, he traced back,
from generation to generation, the ao-
eidents of,color in, each family. With
the knowledge thus laboriously ac-
quired, he was able td select his stock
with, snob eertainty that most perfect
success rewarded his toil. He has
reared -upwards of forty calves, each
perfectly white, without a single hair of
red. or roan appearing in any of them to
upset his calculations and betray his
hopes. In all cases they do not possess
uniform excellence 'of form, but now
that he has color, he will next give at-
tention to quality.
Pest for' Sheep -Worrying Dogs.
The following is from the report of
the district veterinary surgeons in
Wurteraburg : In February of, 1874 a
dog attacked a flock of sheep and killed
eleven. The shepherd reported the
circumstance to Veterinary Surgeon
Osterstag, who soon after discovered a
dog which, from its general appearance
and muddy condition, he suspected to
be the calprit. He accordingly resolved
to test his suspicions by giving it an
emetic, the effect of which waste bring
up some flesh and an ear, correspond-
ing to that of one of the sheep which
had been partially devoured. Another
dog was also suspected, and to this was
• applied the same treatment, but the
creature only vomited food of an entire-
ly different character. In the law court
the owner of the first dog had to pay
for the whole of the worried sheep.
Newly Painted Rooms.
The danger of , inhaling the vapor of
turpentine has long been known, and its
pernicious influence on the health is be-
yond all doubt, as has been verified in
several cases occurring in persons sleep-
ing in newly painted rooms, some of
which have even proved fatal. Several
theories more or less plausible, have
been propounded to explain the pre-
, judicial effects of the inhalation of these
vapours; but whatever may be the cor-
rect explanation, there is no doubt of
the-da,eger of occupying a room recently
painted in which turpentine has beeu
employed, before •conaplete dessication
has taken place. It was pointed out by
the Council of Hygiene, that a sudden
death whieh recently took place
in Paris was attributable to this cause,
-it being shown that it could not be
ascribed to the lead which entered into
the composition of the paint of the
room in which the deceased slept; the
lead, being fixed, and non-volatile, can-
nutin these cases be accused of being,
the offending element.
Taking Cold.
It is encouraging to find in such a pa-
per as the London Lancet the dictum
that "the man who resolves not to take
cold seldona does." There is no more
potent influence, says the same writer,
"to restore the vital energies of the
nerve centre " than "a strong and sus-
tained effort of the will." Colds in
fact; appear to be an ima,einary order
of ailments, or • at least, so faras
imaginary that no one need have them
unless he likes. Mufflers, greatcoats,
furs and other popular preventatives are
mere delusions puffed in notoriety by
industrious tailors. The remarks of
this student ef colds on " sneezing"
are also worthy of grave attention.
'Sneezing is not, as the vulgar imagine,
an irrepressible sign of a cold in the
head. It is nature's provision for
reusing the dormant centre, and enabl-
ing thena to resume work and avoid
evil consequences. In fact, the more
you sneeze the more rapidly is your
cold taking itself off. All which is very
cheering this weather.

Toxic Effects of Tea.
Dr. W. J. Morton, of New York, in a
prominent medical journal of that city,
contributes some professional informa-
tion upon the use of tea, based upon ex-
periments instituted. upon himself,
which is deserving a general notice. -
He took from four to eight drachms
of gunpowder or green tea, and had it
made into an infusion with a pint of
water. This he drank at intervals
during the day, and continued t stead-
ily for seven days, not altering. other-
wise his ordinary habits of life. As a
result of the moderate four drachm
dose lie experienced an immediate ele-
vation of the pulse, !increased respira-
tion, agreeable exhilaration of mind
and body, conibined with a feeling of
contentment and placidity, and a cool
and fresh feeling of the , body, an in-
creased mental and physical vigor with
no noticea,bIe reaction. The results of
the eight drachms -floss) were mental
dullness, headache, severe reaction, and
a group of other ailineets. Sirailar ex.
periments were instituted upon others,
with like results, showing quite con-
clusively that with tea, as with any po-
tent drug, there is proper and im-
proper dose, and in moderation it is a
mental and bodily stinaulant of a most
agreeable nature, followed by no harm -
fill reaction. It produces contentment
of mind, allays hunger and: bodily
-weariness, and increases the incentive
;arid the capacity for work.
• Milking.
The faster and more gentle a cow is
milked., the greater will be the ainount
given. Slow milkers gradually- dry up
a cow, and for the reason that if the
milk be hot drawu about as fast as it is
given down it will subsequently be
Withheld, as a naatter of course what is
known as the stripping, in fact, the up-
per surface of the milk is the udder.
Many milkers draw the milk with a
streng downward pull, in fact, with a
jerk. .This shou!d never be allowed;
it irritates the cow, and often injures
the bag. -Fill the teat and with a firm
pressure of the last three fingers empty
it, drawing slightly on the teat andaucl-
der at the same time; so proceed alter-
nately, with each ltaud, uutil the milk
is exhausted. Many milkers get in the
habit of _slow milking because firm,
Ateady, quick milking tires the finuers

THE H:LJEON EXPOSITOR.
There is another thing well. worthy of
-being remembered. Cows should be
—milked as nearly at a given hour every
morning and every evening as is possi-
ble; undue distention of the udder is
always injurious.
An Agricultural- School for
Girls. .
France has agricultural schools for
girls. One of the chief is near Rouen,
which is said to have been begur with
a capital of one franc by a Sister of
Charity,and two little discharged prison
• girls, and is said to be now worth $100,-
000. This establishment has 300 girls,
from 6 to 18. The farm, entirely culti-
vated by them., is ever 400 aeres in ex-
tent. Twenty-five Sisters form the staff
of teachers. More than one medal of
the French Agricultural Society has
been awarded to this establishment at
-Darnetel, and the -pupils are in great
demand all over Normandy on account
of their skill. They get out as stewards,
gardeners, farm managers, daiiywomen
and laundresses. Each girl has on
leaving an outfit and a small sum- of
money, earned. in spare hours. If they
want a home they can always return to
Darnetel, which they are taught to re-
gard as home.
Brown. Paper against the Cold.
The "old woman's "remedy for a cold
on the chest, a sore throat or a -bruise,
which consisted in an appliaation of
brown paper steeped in beer or vinegar,
owed its efficacy to the heat retaaning
properties of the paper. A wet pad. of
this material, so far as the surface next
the skin was concerned, acted almost
as well as a layer of we linen -rag pro-
tected with a thick covering -of flannel.
In short, stout pa,per df the commonest
sort is an effective non-conductor, and
may be most advantageously employed
as coverings for beds or to eke out scanty
clothing. If this were generally ku:own
among the poor, strong sheets of thick
paper would be stitched to the back of
ragged quilts, with the result of render-
ing many a poor family comfortable be-
cause better protected from the bitter
weather of these winter nights. A
piece of thick paper inserted between
the lining and the cloth of a waistcoat,
or in thebackof a thin coat, will -ren-
der it warm as well as light. The sug-
gestion is a small one, but it is simple
to carry into effect, and will be found
effective.
that animals do reason from cause to
effect, and he will submit to the Acad-
emy of Sciences a paper based on this
touching incident.—Santa Rasa '(CYal.)
Dontocrat.
Change of Will.
It i,s related of a well known mer-
chant of a neighboring city, that, after
making his will and leaving ri large
property to trustees for his son, he
called the young man in, and after
reading the will to him, 'asked if there
was any alterations or improvements he
could suggest.
"Well father," said the young gentle-
man, lighting a cigarette, " think as
things go now -a -days, it would be better
for me if you left the property to the
other fellow and made me the trustee."
The old gentlemau.made up his mind
then and there, that the young man was
quite competent to take charge of his
own inheritance, and scratched the
trustee clause out.
Value of Bran.
A" Hyde, of the New York Ti
commends bran as feed, anndless'ayrse;
One great recommendation of bran as a
feed for stock is that it makes the
manure pile 'so rich. A large proportion
of the inorganic matter (ash) in bran is
composed of the various phosphates,.
just what most old soils need,these salts
having been carried off in the milk and
meat sold. We have seen wonderful
changesproduced on old farms by the
liberal feeding of cows with wheat bran.
The pastures in a few years have renew-
- ed their age. Rye bran is not quite
so rich in ash as wheat, but it makes an
excellent food for producing milk, as it
contaius over twelve per cent. of pro -
tine compounds, just the thing for
cheese making, and over two per cent.
of fats. Indeed dairy farmers generally
give the preference to rye bran, and one
reason ie that it is finer, and does not
induce such a laxative condition of the
bowels.

An Obstinate Cot Physician. ti
On the return of King Willia,m from
Holland in 1869, says the London
Quarterly Review, he sent for Radcliffe,
and, showing him his swollen ankles,
while the rest of his body was emaciat-
ed, said : "What do you think of these ?"
" Why truly," replied Radcliffe. "1
would not have your Majesty's two legs
for your three kingdoms," which free-
dom, cost him the king's favor, and no
intercession could ever recover it.
When Anne came to the throne, the
Earl of Godolphin endavored in vain to
reinstate Radcliffe as first physician,
but the Queen would not be prevailed
upon, alleging that Radcliffe would send
her word as he had done before, "that
her ailments were nothing but the
vapors." The Queen, however sent for
him in her last illness, when he ansa-er-
ed "that he had -taken physic and
could not come." The Queen died OD
the 1st of August, 1714, and Radcliffe
on the 1st of 'hevember following; his
death having, it is said, been hastened
by the dread of the populace, who were
incensed against him for his neglect of
the Queen.
A Won.derful Cow.
The Grand Rapids Leader is re-
sponsible for the following history of a
cow owned in Kent county, Miehiga,n,
and Nye will only observe that if true,
which we have no donbt it is, she is
truly a wonderful anitnal :
"Charles Squires, afarmer living one
and a half miles southea,sa of Coopers-
ville, is the owner of a cow which is en-
titled to the blue ribbon. The produc-
tive qualifications attributed to this
maidenly bovine seem almost incredu-
lous, but Mr. Squires. is a farmer whose
word would not be questioned, and he
declares that the story is not overdrawn.
The cow is but four and a half years
old at this time. At the age of 11
months she became the mother of
twins. The spring before she was
three years old she went two better,
and was -delivered of four calves at one
birth. Last year, being an "off year"
for stock raising, this energetic young
cow decided to take matters more Mile-
ly, and dropped down -one notch, and
the increase of cattle through her indi-
vidual efforts was but three young bul-
locks. One month ago she became the
mother of a fine pair of calves, which.
are doing well, making in all eleveis. -
The cow is reported to be in a quiet, re-
flective mood, and it is uselete to pre-
dict what her arrangements are for the
future."
. Animal Instinct.
A Mr. Jackson was gratified beyond
measure by an exhibition of instinct on
the part of seine deer that was truly
remarkable. As he left the foot -hills
and came into the valley, he . saw not
far before his tea,m a buck and two
does near the road, moving leisurely
down the plains. When he drove up to
them they ran a short dista,nce, turned
around and. snuffed the air, present-
ing a picture of perfect grace. He was
afraid to stop for fear of frightening
them, so he quietly reined in his horses
and watched the animals. After a
short exanshiation they Saeraed to be
satisfied that he was harraless, when
all dame trottlua -along close behind
him, and followedbhim at least.•for two
miles, When they suddenly juniPed over
a fence and took the direction of a
large fruit orchard and vineyard not
far away. For a few moments Mr.
Jackson was unable to give a,ny reason
for this strange affair, and on reaching
the farru hose he sopped aud told
what he had seen. The owner told
him that the game law had gone into
effect on the lst, and that these ani-
mals knew it as well as he did, and
they were in the habit of comiug clown

of November, and making thing -s very
