THE COW.
The milch cow is, so to speak, a highly
wh ifiC her br eeial animdaal;
nd keeper is to a great extent,
what made her. In
a state of nature, the cow gives only suffi
cient milk to nourish her offspring ; in the
gall and barnyard of a good dairyman, she
fields cases the year through; and in ex
quantities almost exceeding
treme, in
belief.
More attention should be bestowed upon
the naileh cow with us than upon stock in
tended for the yoke or shambles. On the
r ich diluvial pastures of the West, beef is a
pr bj
ime oect ;
itely i with us, milk. • Milch cos
m ay be i n definmproved by proper car w e
a nd feeding, whatever their breed. Let
the Middlesex farmer, like his brother far
mer of the dairy shire of Ayr, breed cattle
exclusively for dairy purposes, and in time,
by judicious selections, he will have a na
tive breed that will yield him all the re
turn he can ask. It is said that an Ayr
shire cow has been known to produce over
t en imperial gallons of good milk per day,
and one cow yielded her owner, in seven
m onths, milk that sold for $257.
it is well known that the great utility of
blood stock consists in the fact that they
tran smit their good qualities, without fail,
while all is accidental and uncertain with
native or scrub stock; each individual
stands on its own merits.
Good milk is a most important article—
it is a benison to childhood; while bad
[ Bilk is as fatal as the sword of Herod. Its
ingredients are water, butter, sugar; osseous
matter, and various salts. The butyraceous
matter gives it richness; the caseine,
strength ; the sugar, sweetness; and the
water makes it an agreeable drink. Alto
gether, it is both a delicious food and drink,
when distilled from the lacteal glands of a
M u ll-blooded, well-kept cow.
Milk drawn from the cow in the morning
is thought to be of better quality than that
of the evening ; and a remarkable differ
ence is perceived in the proportion of
cream in the first and last portion of milk
ing, the latter containing twice as much
cream as the same quantity of the former.
Dr. Hawaii thinks that the average of pure
milk does not exceed nine and one-half
per cent. cream.; that delivered...in Boston
will rarely yield over eight per cent. When
milk is carried far by rail, or in a wagon
without springs, a portion of the cream is
apt to be converted into butter, and sink to
the bottom of the can, from which it is not
taken, in the ordinary manner of supplying
customers in large cities.—P. Lawson,
PROTECTING THE WHEAT PLANT.
All experience teaches that over a great
portion of our country the wheat crop is
liable to be seriously injured by our severe
winters. In very extended sections this
was the case with the wheat sown last fall.
We doubt if farmers have exerted them
selves to prevent failures from this cause,
too often considering it a matter entirely
beyond their control. They sow wheat
year after year, but always with a fear that
a Iong„ severe, changeable winter will de
prive them of a crop.
As a protection, the Prairie Farmer
recommends the following : A top dressing
of manure or compost spread over the
wheat field late in the fall or in early win
ter, will be exceedingly effectual in keeping
the plants sheltered from winds and frosts,
at the same time the land is benefitted by
the manure. This it may not always be
convenient to do. To those thus situated
we would recommend the sowing of buck
wheat or oats with the wheat. If oats, say
11 bushels per acre, broadcast, just before
drilling in the wheat, if the drill is used.
Such a course will prevent the dirt from
being blown from about the tender roots,
thus preventing the frost from throwing
out the plants, and in spring the mulch
rots, affording them nourishment: This is
no idle theory, but has the practice of suc
cessful farmers to support it. We cannot
urge its adoption too strongly. Those who
practice sowing oats or buckwheat 'are in
the habit of sowing early, that a good
growth may be made before winter sets in.
CUTTING TIMBER FOR FENCING,
A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph, who was brought up in the
belief that the old of the moon in February
Was the best time for cutting timber for
durability, and that fence posts ought to be
seasoned, says he has learned by dear ex
perience that both theories are wrong. Ile
prefer 3 to cut when the tree is full of sap,
and to set posts when green. Rails out
when the zap is running, and the bark im
mediately removed, will last one-fourth
lover than if cut at any other time and
tie barkleft on. He 'has found that posts
'Lade from the limbs and upper part of trees
always last the longest. Instead of bank
"e dirt about a post, he would make a
hollow or ditch around it to catch and hold
Water, believing that as water excludes the
air, the longer it remains about the post the

better. He says :
"I hadposts made from the bod' of. a
large chestnut tree that grew by its f; it

They generally stood •about •twenty yeas ;

and planted the posts the spring following.
The ground in which the fence was set,, in
all three classes, was alike. At the end of
six years, from planting this batch of posts,
there were so many of them rotten as to be
easily broken off even with the top of the
ground. I have not been in the practice
of waiting for posts to season, before they
are used, though it sometimes„happened ;
but the result was always in favor of the
green posts." ' • .
RINGBONE IN HORSES.
During a residence of over fifteen years
in the State of Wisconsin, I have met with
a great number of cases which generally
pass under the name of ringbone. Very
many of those cases were not, strictly speak
ing, ringbone, but what are termed, in
technical language, cases of anchylosis,
either of the superior or interior pastern
bones or joints. I have also met in my
peregrinations almost as many bipeds who
pretend to cure such cases. Now let us
examine into this matter and see what are
the chances of such cure.
Anchylosis is a stiff joint arising from
the intimate union of those bones which
form the joint. Anchylosis is distinguish
ed by true and false. In the former, the
bones have grown together so completely
as not to admit of the slightest motion
taking place between them; while in the
latter, the motion is only diminished, not
destroyed. Anchylosis in horses is not
unfrequently a consequence of wounds or
bruises, which, causing violent inflamma
tion of the joint, occasion an absorption of
the interarticular cartilage, and an ossifica
tion in the arteries which nourish the joint,
by,which means bone is generated in lieu
of cartilage, and anchylosis is the result.
Complete anchylosis of a joint renders it
utterly and • absolutely immoveable, and no
mortal hand can restore it to its original
state; yet, in the face of this fact, we find
that almost every village and cross-road
contains some bright genius who has found
the way to humbug you out of your money,
in making you believe he can cure what is
absolutely incurable. I ask you to set your
faces against such ignorance and barbarism.
Can nothing, then, be done by science to
help these cases of ringbone? The an
swer is, Yes; let every farmer be careful
not to breed from a sire or a dam that is
afflicted with the ringbone, for we know
that like produces like, in very many in
stances. Young horses get ringbone very
frequently from runing and jumping, and
are not noticed until it is almost too late to
avoid the bad consequences of neglect in
not seeing to them. Should any of them
appear the least lame, or should any en.-
largement, however small, appear between
the fetlock joint and the hoof, it should be
immediately attended to, for in the early
stages ringbone can be successfully com
batted, and only then; for if any enlarge
ment in the parts I have indicated is suf
fered to increase, it will ere long bid defi
ance to the skill of man to restore it to its
original integrity. Should any remain un
convinced, and attempt the cure of what is
demonstrated to be incurable, they are more
to be pitied than blamed.,
Should any shining light wish to illumi
nate the arena of veterinary science, let
him step forward and restore a case of com
plete anohylosis in the horse to its original
state, and gain for himself immortality, or
what is more tangible, two hundred dollars
as a reward for his genius or smartness,
which I offer to any one, at any time.—A.
T. W., in Northern Farmer.
ACTIVE MANURE.
One of the most active manures, and
readily within the reach of most farmers,
is a mixture of leached ashes and night
soil mixed with fine soil. Let them be
thoroughly worked over on a smooth spot,
and allowed to stand a week before using,
working it over every other day, and you
have a most valuable manure, at a trifling
cost of time. .A handful of this mixture
in a hill is excellent to give corn a start.
Potatoes and garden vegetables generally
feel it very quick. Hen manure is an ex
cellent ingredient in such manures, but it
should be well slaked with water before
mixing with other substances. In this
climate we have quite often a cold week
or two in the first of June, when corn and
tender vegetables suffer severely. We
know no better way to keep up the courage
of plants at this trying season than by the
use of such manures.—Maine Farmer.
BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENTS.
Fill a wide-mouth glass jar with water,
and cover it with a piece of " foundation",
(the ladies will understand this), cover
that over with a layer of peas, pressing it
down so that the peas will lay in the water.
They will then swell and sprout, the roots
growing down into .the water, their fibres
presenting a beautiful appearance. Set
this in the window, and vines will grow up,
which tan be conducted to the sill. The
whole is very handsome.
If an acorn be suspended by a piece of
thread to within half an inch of some water
contained in:a hyacinth-glass, and so per
mitted to remain without being disturbed,
it will in a few months burst and throw a
root down into the water, and shoot upward
its tapering stem, with beautiful little green
leaves. A young oak tree, growing this
way, on a mantle-shelf of a room, is a very
interesting object.

or has been investigating the proper form

sels of'various shapes, and came to the

NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
This body held its annual meeting for
1866 in Northampton, commencing August
7. We give an account of its most impor
tant proceedings, following the reports in
the New York Tribune. The last paper of
the first day was by Prof. Agassiz, on
TRACES OP GLACIERS "UNDER THE TROPICS
It embraced the result of his explorations
in the Valley of *the Amazon, and gave
many most interesting statements as to
the traces of glaciers there found.
Prof. Agassiz spoke of the first observa
tions made in Switzerland, showing the
much greater extension in ancient times of
the Alpine glaciers, which filled up the
whole valley between the Alps and Jura,
and rose to the height of 3000 or 4000 feet
against the latter chain. In making, these
observations and deducing their results,
Prof. Guyot had done much the greatest
share of the work, without receiving due
credit. Here his (Agassiz's) own part in
the work began. He did not believe that
this extension was due to local causes, and
went to searching for traces of like glacial
action elsewhere. He found abundant
evidence that Britain had once been cover
ed with• continuous glaciers, as is Greenland
now, and, after a long and hard fight, the
English geologists had fully accepted the
truth. He had found evidences of the
same action in this country as far south as
South Carolina. The whole north of the
globe had been covered by-a mass of ice
down to s low as latitude 32°, always
pushing southward, not - from the sloping of
the land in that direction, but because the
supplying mass of snow accumulated in the
north, and pushed outward. He had gone
to South America, prepared to look for
signs of ice there, and had found them.
There were no glacial scratches there, as
the upper parts of the rocky strata had been
disintegrated by the peculiarly powerful
meteorological forces of the tropics, which
dissolved them as they lay, for hundreds of
feet in depth, and made them distinguish
able from drift materials only by the hete
rogeneity and mixture of the latter. He
had distinguished drifts by these and other
indications, and had found so many of the
usual signs that he could not but hold that
the Amazon Valley had been once the bed
of an immense glacier, moving eastward
from the Andes. Its terminal moraine had
been swept away by the ocean, which- had
encroached on the land for hundreds of
miles on the east; but of a lateral moraine
had been found a piece sixty leagues long,
in the Province of Sierra. Also were found
traces of local glaciers in the mountains, in
various directions. He closed with pointing
out the exceeding interest and importance,
not to geologists only, but to physicists and
astronomers as well, of the question re
specting the changes and conditions of
climate which should have brought about
the era of ice and of glacial action.
Prof. Peirce said that it was natural to
suppose that that era was caused by a colder
climate of the earth, whereas it might as
well be the result of a hotter one; in fact,
only the latter could explain the greatly
increased deposition from the atmosphere;
it needed more heat to raise so much vapor.
He went on to discuss the causes which
might occasion a change of general ter•
perature, rejecting entirely the effect of
internal heat of the earth, and showing
that a change in the sun's power, or in the
constituents and contents of the atmosphere,
would be sufficient.
Prof. Guyot spoke of his own explora
tions for a series of years in North Caro
lina, and his failure to find in that region
any scratches, (such as were made by the
mass of drifting ice in more northern re
gions, and which are .found with more or
less frequency from the North Pole to
Pennsylvania, but especially in New Eng
land,) and was therefore inclined to receive
with doubt the theories of glacial action in
the Valley of the Amazon until the data
were more complete and convincing.
Prof. A gassiz called the attention of the
Academy to some facts which had not pre
viously been clearly considered. Wherever
scratches had been observed near the sea
coast, it was seen that they extended nnden
the water as far as the eye could reach.
This was true on the coast of Maine,
on
Lake Erie, &c. He thought that the dif
ference in temperature ,between the water
and ice would have prevented this, if the
water had been at its present level.
Assume that it is proved that glaciers
extended all over the country as low as 32°
or even 36°, what must have been the tem
perature of the earth's surface ? He had
reached the conclusion that a temperature
of 17° Fahrenheit lower than now would
answer the conditions. He believed that
circumstances made it highly probable that
glaciers might exist in the valley of the
Amazon, and that everything tended now
to prove that glaciers were - much more
numerous and general than has been sup
posed.
His reference;to the small quantities of
matter and periods of time with which
physicists deal, as compared with the masses
of matter and vast periods of time with
which geologists have to do, together with
the wide difference of view between him
self and Prof. Guyot, called up the latter,
who again referred to the lack of evidence
of glacial action on the North American
continent south of the 32d degree, and
urged extreme caution in assigning causes
and drawing conclusions while the facts
were still so few and so far from exhaus
tive.

greater heat for evaporation. There must
have been a greater evaporation because.
there was a greater surfacee. He could not
believe that the surface of the ocean had
been lowered 1500 feet, as many had
claimed, with so great an elevation of snow
upon the land.
Prof. Guyot held that at the temperature
of the atmosphere claimed it could not have
contained more than an inch of rain. .
Prof. Frazer continued with similar
views.
Prof. Henry said that, before Prof. Ages
siz's discoveries, he had 'considered 'the
glacial theory pretty thoroughly worked
out, and had subscribed to.the conclusions
which- Prof. Guyot had reached and set
forth. He had supposed that the glaciers
had not reached below 32°, as was pre
viously held. It was evident that the
than deposition of snow was greater than the
summer melting .. Th'e qiestion, then is
whence came the heat which finally melted
this-mass of ice ? 'He wah;inclined still to
hold to the old view, that the heat came
from within the earth. ; (Prof. Peirce gave
it as his opinion that 20,000,000 years had
elapsed since the surface of the earth had
been affected by ir(teinal heat.) He
T
thought the facts " roduced by Prof.
Agassiz belonged t what were called
"outstanding facts," hich were to be held
for consideration nnti their proper bearing
and value could be mbn's fully determined:
J. P. Lesly called/ aiterition to a fact
which had not been 3)/entioned. Glaciers
always have meraiies. They destroy or
carry forward 1900, , The most extrava
gant powers of erosion have been ascribed
to glaciers, one author , even holding that
the great lakes were scooped out in this
manner. Now, he thought that this erosive
power of ice had not been sufficiently con
sidered in this dicussion. Granting all
the facts given by Prof. Agassiz, such as
the existence of a glacier 1000 feet thick,
3000 miles long, and of indefinite breadth,
where did all this come from, and what
must have been its erosive power ?
Passing this point, he insisted on the
general insufficiency of the evidence of
glaciers south of the central line of Penn
sylvania, especially the entire absence of
scratches made by ice. He could not con
ceive that the ice in its movement should
have made grooves in the Carolinas like
those of the. Northern States, and yet that
those scratches should have been entirely
obliterated while those in the north should
have remained intact. Prof. Agassiz in
sisted that his observations were of great
Value as contributions to science, however
insufficient they might be for generaliza
tion.
Prof. Guyot explained that his observa
tions in North Carolina should not be con
sidered as' conclusive evidence that there
were no ice-scratches in that region. He
had explored the country with a view
chiefly to topography; yet he thought it
very improbable that scratches should have
existed and yet have escaped his observa
tions. Prof. Agassiz added a word as to
the heavy rains of Brazil, and their great
power in destroying rocks and formations
in which geological records might 'ether
wise be found. The subject having occu
pied two hours of the session, and called
out much interesting and lively discussion,
as well aftbroad differencesiof opinion, was
nowlassed, - for lack of time.to, devote to it
further attention.
SECULAR ACCELERATION OF THE MOON'S
MEAN MOTION
The next paper was on " The Secular
Acceleration of the Moon's Mean Motion,"
by John N. Stockwell. This paper was
presented by Dr. B. A. Gould, as the au
thor was not a member Of the Academy.
Mr. Stockwell gave first a history of the
discussion of this important subject. The
acceleration of the moon's motion was long
regarded as unexplainable by the theory of
gravitation, and as casting doubt on that
theory, till Laplace, by accounting for it
by the change in the eccentricity of the
earth's orbit, converted it into as brilliant
and striking a proof of the theory. The
assigned cause *as recorded as fully ex
plaining both the change and its amount,
till Adams, by a new discussion, ten years
ago, showed that the amount which this
cause would effect was very different from
that which appeared to be the Observed one.
Adam's views were stoutly contested, but
at last generally accepted. Now Mr.
Stockwell submits the whole problem to a
new consideration, and endeavoring to prove
that Adams bad failed to give due force to
one cause, the variability of the sun's
perigee, which, if properly employed, would
get rid of all the disturbing factors which
Adams had introduced, and leave the re
sult of Laplace the correct one. Other
consequences of great importance were also
derivable. The moon's motion oscillated
back and forth about a mean, which was
quite different from its present value; the
moon was now more than six revolutions in
advance of its real mean place. Mr. S.
had constructed a table giving the Mean
and true *slues for some hundreds of thou
sands of years.
Prof. Peirce acknowledged a very strong
prejudice against this paper and theory
therein presented. Laplace's opinion on
this subject stood unchanged until Adams
overthrew it, and since that time the high
est geometrical science and deepest inves
tigation , of Europe had sustained Adams's
view. There is no such example of dis
cordance between observation and theory.
If the views of this paper are sustained, an
unknown man will be found to have over
thrown all the European geometers. He
was on this account prejudiced against the
paper, because of its magnificent claims.
If its views were sustained, it would be a
grand triumph for America. He thought
that the Academy- ought to examine it
very thoroughly by a committee. It owed
this as of duty to the author and to science.
If the Academy gave an incomplete survey
to the paper and an erroneous decision, it
would be disgraced. He would add that
he had looked 'at the paper, and that it
looked- right—written in a right spirit and
prepossesbing manner. He nevertheless
