A Comfortable Bed tor Animals.
What man or beast does not enjoy
it ? Every wild animal, from the lord
ly lion to the insignificant mouse, be
stows careful pains upon its resting
place. The universal instinct which
prompts this eaße indicates that it is
a matter of no small importance in
the physical economy. About one
third of an animal's whole life is
passed in resting, and nature intend
ed that during this time its condition
should be most favorable for restoring
and building up the organization. In
the care of domestic animals, kept
for profit, this point is worthy of spe
cial attention. Comfortable bedding
directly favors the increase of fat and
muscle by helping to retain the ani
mal heat, and also by adding to quiet
and comfort. In this way a bundle
of straw on the outside may be equiv
alent to a feed of grain iuside. Hor
ses are usually well cared for in this
respect, with a view to keep their
muscles in good order, as every tyro
must know that sleeping upon a hard
board will scarcely give pliancy to
the limbs. Hut good bedding is of
little less benefit to cattle. If it be j
doubted, experiment for two weeks j
with railch cows; give them comfort-1
able Utter the first week, and allow
them to lie upon the frozen ground j
the seco id, then note the difference j
recorded in the milkpail; it will be
very great. Straw and refuse hay j
arc generally used, and are well suit- ,
«d for bedding. Cutting into lengths j
of say six inches his some advanta
ges. though it will hardly pay if re- j
quired to be cut by hand. Where j
these cannot be had cheaply as is |
often the case in villages, an excel- j
lent substitute my be found in leaves.
They possess one advantage over
straw, in making the very best ma
nure for gardening when mixed with
animal excrements. Spent tan bark,
well dried, is another good substi
tute, also valuable mulch. A layer
of dried mulch,six inches thick,serves
a good purpose for bedding. It is
a most excellent absorbent, and will
remain in good condition for some
time without being changed. When
well saturated it is just the article for
the garden or the field. With prop
er car? in furnishing abundant bed
ding for stock, a large accession to
the manure heap will be made, suffi
cient of itself to pay for the trouble.
Save your Flower Seeds.
Save your flower seeds. We say
now, because it is more especially at
this period that the seeds of our prin
cipal annuals cature. The true sys
tem however is, to watch the ripen
ing of the seeds generallv-take with
you little paper bags or seed boxes,
carefully labelled with the name of
the seeds which they are to contain,
and select from the choicest speci
mens, jne kind at a time, rejecting
those not sufficiently matured as like
ly to mould and injure the rest.
In the matter of preserving both
flower and vegetable seeds there is
much neglect, and the absence of
flowers about many homesteads is in
a great measure to be attributed to
this neglect.
The ladies ought in all cases to
take charge of the flowers—it is nat
urally their province and should be
their uelight. It is a good method
to exchange seeds with neighbors and
friends; for though the distance may
be short, vet a slight change of soil
frequently has much influen *e in pre
serving the fine qualities of the fiow
ors.
We think we can see, within the
Jast few vears, a grert increase in
flowers around our homesteads ; anil
we rejoice nt it, as we always think
more kindly of the in-dwellers. A
few days ago we spent a short time
with a valued friend in Montgomery
county, and were struck with the va
riety and beauty of the flowers in the
yard in front of the house. There
•were even a number of different kinds
■of green-house flowers, which never
saw a green-house, but which were of
of as fine colors and as flourishing in
appearance as those which arc ten
derly nursed under glass. We soon
discovered that the fair haad of wo
man had the management of them,
And were satisfied that she never lost
n seed that was worth preserving, or
failed to propagate from the slip
when the season arrived —Pity that
this fascinating recreation—for fas
cinating it ought to be to every prop
erly educated young woman—is not
more universally appreciated and
indulged in.— Ger. Tel.
Cows that Hold up Milk,
Mr. Johnson says can be cured if
they will drink sour milk. After
drinking, and as scon as they begin
to lick the pail they will give in free
ly. He has tried it with cows that
would give about two thirJs the prop
er quantity, retaining the other por
tion. Then he gives them the milk
to drink, and waits until they begin
to lick the pail, when he has no
trouble in obtaing the remainder.—
He has tried meal, salt, and various
things, but found nothing to produce
such an effect as sour milk.

Thanksgiving Day in Pennsylvania.
Tho following is Governor CIIRTIVS
proclamation, setting apart s day for
thanksgiving:
J'rnnaylcania, S. S. —ln the namesnd
by the authority of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of the said Commonwealth.
PROCLAMATION.
With feelings of the most profound
! gratitude to Almighty God, I invite rhe
good people of the Commonwealth to
meet in their places of public worship, on
Thursday, the 7th day of December
oext, and raise their hearts and voices in
praise and thanksgiving to him, not only
for the manifold ordinary blessings which
during the past year He has continued to
heap upon us, for abundant and gathered
harvests, for thriving industry, fur gener
al health, for domestic good order and
government, but also most expressly and
fervently for His unequalled goodness iu
having so strengthened and guided our
people during the last four years that
they have been enabled to crush to earth
the late wicked rebellion and to exterm
inate the system of human slavery which
caused it.
As we wrestled in prayer with Him in
the dark time of our trouble—when our
brothers and sons were staking life and
limb for us on many a bloody field, or
suffering by torture and famine in the
Hells of Andemmville or the Libby—so
now wheu our supplications have been
so marvellously and graciously answered,
let us not withhold from Him tho horn
are of our thanksgiving. Let us say to
all, "Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve, but as for us and our house we will
serve the Lord."
Come then ye people whflm He 'lath
so helped and led—come ye war-worn and
mutilated men whom He hath spared to
return to jour dear homes—let us throng;
the gates of His temples—let us throw
ourselves on the knees of our heaits with
awful joy at the foot of His throue, and
render aloud our praise and thanksgiving
to Him, because He hath made the flight
to prevail—because He hath given us the
victory—because he hath eleansed our
land from the stain of slavery—and be
cause He hath graciously shown forth in
the eyes of all men the great truth that
no Government is so strong as a Repub
lie, cqptrolled, under his guidance, by an
educated, moral and religious people.

How to Lead Animals.
Cattle, it is said, of all descrip
tions, horses, calves, and sheep, miy
be led by making a slipping noose
and fastening to the lower jaw, pass
ing the rope .(which must be small)
around the neck and through the
noose on the jaw. It is a very easy
way cf leading a sheep, one not be
ing obliged togo behind and "push."
After once pullmg, the sheep will
follow right along with 110 trouble.

citizen* of Butler, and all otherM who may faror him with
a call, the choicest articles in his line, twM r—pectftally
represent: that in pursuance of his appointment, he has
been successful in collecting " tall Mpecitneuß" of the best
articles ever found in Butler! He would also further
represent: that he feel* grateful to the public for the fa
vors conferred upon him, In "days gone by," and hopes
he will merit a continuation of thoir putronagein "days
that are to. .me."
In conclusion, he begs leave to make the following re
mark : that he has a little the bent articles in his tiue,that
are to be found fh'in the "centre to the circumference"
of Pennsylvania, and indeed, he might safely add, the
United States of North America, the British Possessions,
or the California*, including the mouth of theColun.bia
river, all along the coast of Oregon, up as high as the
parallel of " Phlfty Phour Phorty." He HUMBLY *>li
cits the custom of all the".'>ear߻pfe"of Butler, of any
way faring man who may chance to makehis transit across
the disc of Butler, or sojourn within her borders for "a
season," feeling confident he will give satisfaction, both as
regard* price and quality. Come and examine for yous
selves! Don't put it off! 1 Procrastination isthe thief of
