~xrnt and rr~idt _ I alllch Cows nod Cali% Water The extreme sensitiveness of the mam mary funetiona in cows to the influences of cold, fatigue, excitement, unpleasant Wore, etc., is indeed surprising.. We have been greatly interested iu observing the effects or cold upon the milk secretion as seen in the herd of cows upon the farm. During the summer, in hot days in Ju le and August, the animels resorted to the Lake to drink, and after slaking their thirst, they would wade into the wa ter and remain sometimes an hour or two with the legs immersed. This habit it was found invariably diminished the flow of milk at night, and in order to tears the extent of the diminution care ful observation was made. It was ascer tained that Mending in the water an boor diminished the flow to the amount of S or 10 quarts in a herd of thirteen cows. The loss was so great that whenever they resorted to the water they were driven away to the panture again at once. We have learned that from simply turning the herd into the yard upon a cold day in winter, and allowing them to remain fif teen minutes, the flow of milk was dimin ished to a serious extent, and conseeinent ly the animals are not allowed to leave the warm stable,during the entire winter, except for a brief period upon warm, sun• shiny days.. Water is brought directly frem awell into the barn, and the drink ing vessels are arraigned so the:. the ani mals have to move but a step or two to supply their wants. The nature of the water supply, and conveniences of access, are most important points in the manage ment of milch cows. A draught of lee oold water, taken by a cow in win ter,cuts short the milk yield for the day from one to two pints. Well water drawn into vessels, and allowed to stand a few hours covered, in the warm barn, hr.s its tem perature raised several degrees, and this practice should be adopted by all thrifty farmers. It would undoubtedly pay well to slightly warm the water, bat this is attended with considt rattle inconvenience where large herds are kept, neless ' , team apparatus is used, The influence of a cold current of air, and cold drinking water, upon cows in milk, is not of a transient nature; it extends for a longer period than a day or a week. Many tine animals ars ruined by careless exposures every year, and self-interest and feelings of humanity should prompt all cow own ers to keep diligent watch over their wel fare and comtort—Journal of Chemistry. The Production of Cereals. The statistics of the grain movement in the various western ports, during the past year, have been puolished, and are of little interest. At Chicago there were re ceived 71,261,563 bushels of corn, wheat and oats, against 71,082.208 bushels in the preceding year. The increase in the quantity shipped was much more marked, the figures being 71,772,226 bushels in 1872, and 51,77 . 4.226 bitshela in IS7l.The total receipts of all kinds of grain at Ch'- cago were 76,586,738 bushels in 18;2. against 77,162,40 G bushels in 1872, and— only 52.485,408 bushels in the previous Tear. The flanr trade seems, however, to be declining, the receipts having fallen off nearly a million of barrels sinc4 1669. At Toledo. where the grain trade is comparatively new, the receipts in 1872 were 20,819,956 bushels of all kinds of grain. The llonr trade increased consid• trebly. At milwankee 18,782,672 bushels of grain were received. It appears therefore, that 100,0(10.000 bushel, of grain, to say nothing of floor and other breadstuffs have passed through these three ports during the last twelve mosthe. It is difficult to ronceive so vast an amount, hut one obtains from it some idea of the immensity of the nation's re sources in the Mississippi Valley alone. It is I curious fact, that the prevalence of the horse distemper occasioned the falling off of more than a million bushels in the receipts of wheat at Milwaukee, the far mers having been noable to move their crops from the interior of the State, Dent Time for Painting Houses. The best time for painting,the exterior of buildings is late in autumn during the winter. Paint then applied wi l endure twice as loag as when applied in early summer or iu hot weather. In the for mer it dries slowly and becomes hard, like a glazed surface; not easily affected afterwards by the weathet, or worn off by the beating storms. But in very but weather in the oil in the paint soaks into the wood at once, as into a rponge. leav ing the lead nearly dry and nearly ready to crumble off. This last difficulty, h:itv. ever, might in a measure be giurded against, though at an increase expense,ba first going over the surface with raw oil. By painting in the cold weather, one an noyance might certainly be escaped, namely, the collection of small flies on the fresh paint,— The T.chnologist. BeMae Charcoal The ream charcoal obtained from the rectifiers of spirits, frOin the railroads where wood is burned in locomotives, from old charcoal beds, en., is a very use ful material in the garden. As a tr log abont fruit trees I corsder it very valuable. It keeps out frost in Winter; it keeps the soil loose and moist in Summer and it does not afford a harbor fur mice and insects. In the soil it assists to pro mote moisture in a dry season; and by its slow decay (for it dues.decav more rap idly than is generally supposed) it yields carbonic acid gas to plants. and greatly assists to the decomposition of vegetable and mineral matter. It is an excellent mulching for strawberries, in Winter or Summer. •_ Tun corn crop of the West this season was enormone,ond it is estimated that there is yet unshipped not less than 1,- 000,000,0000 bushels. England stands ready to take ^5.000.000 bushels of this corn if she can get it. She also wens 40,000,000,bushels of wheat and 200,000 tone of bacon, but there are not a suffi cient number of vessels in the trade to deliver these products in tima .s to meet her wants.
