A. Steele, of Belvoir, Kansas, in a communication to the ILawrence Home Journal, says: ; ' The price of cattle fattened for the J market depends very much upon the * symmetry of the animal as well as the fat—*style,” as shippers term it. I want here to state that good blood is important, but lot absolutely necessary, to make what is termed a good seiler. In order to fatten a steer to bring the highest market price, he must be kept in a growing condition from a calf, and in no case allowed to grow hungry. It isthe starving the - first and second winters that wilts and ~shrivels up a steer; that causes him to be sold at a reduced price. =No amount of feeding will maKe him a first-class seller, no difference what his color or blood. An animal well “ (I care not what the blood—Texas or not) from a calf until the spring he is three years old will be smooth, with bones well covered, and will sell at a profit; while a' self-starved animal becomes crookedr in. the ‘back; bones projecting, and shriveled up, takes the best part of summer to get in econdition to live, and will-iot be in condi*tion for'market until he is four years old, and will then bring a price which is unsatisfactory te the producer, and to every one that handles him. This “is no theory, but a fact ddduced from ‘close observation, as T have tested the plan for several years. At will and does pay. to fieed corn to . calves, and to-yearlings. |They start ,out in the spring strong and vigorous. \; Youare then able to market your cat- \" tle the spring they are three years old, - weighing 1,400 pounds, which is heavy enough to bring the first price. = The’ best steer that I sold in 1872 was a common native. He had all he could . eat from a calf, and was never hungry. e was a handsome animal, and was worth more per pound than #ny other animal ‘T shipped during that year, Ie weighed in Chicago 1,350 pounds; age, three years. , | I now have a steer calf, eleven months old, from a very ordinary cow. The calf now (May 21st) weighs 660 pounds. - I think it will weigh when three years old 1,500 pounds. I do not wish to be understood that I am not in favor of improving the blood as well as the feed. I shipped two Texas steers thisspiing which were three years old. They ~ were smooth and nice, and I sold them | with a lot of Durhams four years old, |at the same price, and they were . worth as much per potind, and weighed better according to age. They were raised and fed by different parties. Mammoth, overgrown . steers, *like . hogs, have had their day, and we now . come down to the neat, conmpact, welli‘attelﬁd; animal, both in thogs and cattle. To accomplish this in cattle, good feeding from a calf is necessarv.

MAKING AND PACKING BUTTER. June, Septembeér and October are equally good months to make and pack winter butter, although some: people prefer June. I made ours last October in the following way: I put a gill of s/alt in a large tin cream-pot, adding the cream daily, and stirring it thoroughly (the salt is partly to prevent A bitter taste, if you wish to kKeep it two weeks early in the spring or late in the fall), and somg,peoﬁe say it comes far quicker. I kept my cream one week, and then we churned it in a dash churn. "~ After turning off the ‘buttermilk, churn it in pure cold wa‘ter, changing the water three times, then extract all the water from it. Ta ten pounds of butter add 215 common cupfuls-of pure, fine salt, one of granulated sugar and a large teaspoonful of saltpeter. I work it so it will be very yellow when cold with no ‘white flakes. I prefer to do mine up in lumps, near the form of a small brick, and make them smooth with wood spatters so ag to cut a ‘square piece thick or thin. When cold, I cover the bottom of a white oak firkin with fine salt before I pack it in, also between: ~each layer. If the firkin bé new and large I clean it in the following manner: Put in one pint of Indian meal, half a pint of rock salt,-and four gallons of boiling waters after shaking it round well fill it with. cold water, cover tight, and in two days I can prepare it for use. This is also a good | way to cleanse meat barrels, ete. I have a little old sweet butter. I like the taste of the sugar far better than the new without it. I kept some: one . year (for an experiment) and put it on the table with new made in the same way, and good judges could not tell which was the best, nor tell the new from the old.. I kept wiine. out of the cellar until April. . I desire no better way to. make and keep butter.— Lxchange. Lo .

REMEDY FOR LEECHES IN THE LIVER . OF SHEEP. . ‘ Our correspondent in Clackamas county, Oregon, having read the description of leeches in the liver of sheep, as given by our correspondent in Lane county, and published on page. 221 of the monthly reports for 1872, states that fifteen or eighteen years ago, a disease prevailed among sheep' in Clachamas county, of which the symptoms are in all respects the same, and it was asceq‘tained'tlmt they both, ‘originated in the same cause. ' The, local name by which the disease was then known was “swelled jaw.” Hundreds upon hundreds of the sheep died with it. After many ineffectual experiments for remedies had bheen tried, a farmer dissécted one of the many sheep that had died out of his flock, and found ity liver filled with leeches. . Among pther applications to the living leech he tried salaratus, and found that it /killed them immediately. "He then mixed -salaratus with salt given to the diseased sheep. They soon began to recover, and in a short time all were well. Tlie news of the discovery of a remedy spread. Others tried the same treatment with| equal success. Within a few months | there were no sheep to be found in that section of the .country affected | with the disease, and since that time our correspondent his never heard of another case within that county.— Monthly Agricultural Report. - 1

FRESH PAINT EMANATIONS, 1 Investigations of a very interesting (character, made by an experienced house painter in Paris to ascertain "whether emanations from certain paints containing such substances as ‘white lead, zinc white, linseed oil, ese sence of turpentine, coal oil, etc., arinjurious to health, show some noteworthy results. He caused the inside of some boxes to be painted, and within them heé placed wire cages containing rabbits, which were not in contact, with the paint, but omly subject to the influence of the emanations .from it. The rabbits suffered while the paint was fresh, especially when it

contained coal oil, but none of them died. Living in apartments recently painted, and which emit the odor of oil of turpentine, is not, therefore, permanently injurious to health.— Some other tests were made for the purpose of obtaining deposits of these emanations from the fresh paintings of houses. Instead of rabbits, plates containing a small quantity of water Jwere placed in the boxes, and, after the water had evaporated from the plates, there were found some remark“able crystalizations like needles, - consisting in €ombinations, in which the oils employed formed'the principal part. These crystalline combinations werejobtained even when ‘linseed oil - was used. ; }’ * DANGEROUS COSMETICS. ‘ Inapaper read to the Paris Academy of Medicine, the necessity is argued of preventing perfumers from selling poisonous or dangerous articles, which should be left exclusively to the responsibility of regular chemists, and not sold without a physician’s pre- ' seription. Arsenie, the acid nitrate of mercury, tartar emitie, cantharides, colchicum,, and potassa caustica, are common-ingredients in these cosmetics, The so-called lettuce soap does not contain'the slightest trace of let--tuce; and this and other soaps are colored by the sesquioxid¢ of chromium, or of a rose color by the sulphuret ~of 'mercury, known as vermilion. The cheaper soaps contain thirty per cent. of insoluble matter, as limeé or plaster; ( while others contain animal nitrogen- ’ ous matter whicl; having escaped the I process of saponification, emits a bad "odor when its solution is left exposed to the air. The various toilette vine~gars are also declared in this paper to - be so far noxious, that, being applied to the skin still impregnated with soap and water, they give rise to a decomposition, in consequence of which, the fatty acids of soap, being insoluble in water, are not removed by washing, become rancid, and cause chronic in: flainmation of the skin. i

MERCURIAL POISONING IN DENTISTRY. Some statements having become current, asserting the objectionableness of using the red sulphide’ of mercury for artificial gums, on account of its producing salivation, an experienced dentist writes to the dmerican Chemist in refutation of such an idea. He says that not only is the sulphide of mercury very insoluble even in concentrated acids, and not attacked by alkaline fluids, but, in the case of gums, each particle is, as it were, surrounded by a film of india-rubber, which helps to protect it from being acted upon—if such protection were necessary. The writer states that he has made very large quantities of vermilion, always taking care to protect the workmen from the effects of the mercury itself, but without being able to prevent them from handling the vermilion rather carelessly, or fromeinhaling isome of the dust-—and yet without the first case of mercurial poisoning having made its appearance, the same workmen having been employed for years, and all enjoying good health. .

GOOD EFFECTS OF MULCHING. Mr. P. M. Ostrander, of New Hackensack, Duchess county, New York, recently left a bunch of timothy at the office of the Poughkeepsie Z'elegraph, which measured full five feet in length. The lot from which it was taken contained ten acres, covered with'a growth averaging from three to four feet in-height. Mr. Ostrander attributes this remarkable growth in aseason of drouth to the fact that, “last summer, after haying, he allowed, the after-growth to remain upon the ground, keeping all stock from it.— When the snow: lifted in the spring the grass lay thick and green upon the soil, making a substantial muleh for the new growth, and protecting it from the action through the drouth.” Farmers who insist upon the economy of pasturing the new growth of their meadows, can find in this result a little food for thought.—-Country ‘Gentleman. ; |

WHOOPING COUGH IN ITS LAST STAGE. ‘ A writer in the London Medical Jowrnal states that hi cases of whoop!ing cough in its last stage—that is, -after the third week—he has had one ounce of the strongest ammonia put into a gallon of water in an open pan, ~and the steam kept up by means of half a brick made red hot throughout, and put into the boiling water containing the ammonid, the pan . being placed in the middle of a room, into which the patients were brought as the ammoniated steam was passing off. This method, he said, was used in the evening, just before bed time, and it proved so eflicacious in: abating the spasmodic attack, and after three. or four days terminating the malady, as to establish, beyond a - doubt, the great value of this mode of inhaling ammonia, as a therapeutic agent in tranquilizing the nervous system in the whooping cough.

DISINFECTANTS, Herr Eckstein, of Vienna, strongly recommends chloride of lime as-the cheapest and best of all disinfectants. His experiments with various substances used for this purpose show some curious results. Thus, two pounds of sulphate of iron, dissolved in water and poured into a saucer, at first liberated sulphuretted hydrogen, and after twelve hours no longer produced any effect; a solution of sulphate of copper hehaved in the same manner; ‘two pounds of crystals of green vitriol retained its action for two days; a mixture of sulphates of iron and -copper and carbolic acid lastéd two days; sulphurous acid was suffocating, and ceased to act in one day; and carbolic acid produced a worse odor in the house than the . bad gases tlrat proceeded from the sewer.

Houses should be thoroughly ventilated every day. lln the morning, the windows, the back door, and the front door, should bhe opened for a couple of hours, -the front door being guarded from intrusion by means of a door chain. By adopting this simple plan, you get a current of pure air into your house, which would make it sweet for the remainder of the day, Air—pure air—is one of the grand essentials of health; but, alas! though it is so cheap and so plentiful, it is a rare commodity. Impure air is the pabulum upon whih many diseases live and thrive. Many people never open their windows from week’s end to week’s end; and the rooms in consequence are foul, musty and frouzy. Ventilate, : - S —— i - THE HEART AND BRAIN,

In arecent lecture by Dr. Wm. Rutherford, before the: Royal Institution, Liondon, the causes which at intervals throw the heart into convulsions were explained on the ground that nerve force is being continuall Y generated within the nerve cells, and that this forcejdischarges itself, and so excites the motor-nerve fibers when it attaing a certain amount of tengjon, He also stated that the heart’s motions, though not dependent ‘upon the brain, are nevertheless influenced by nerves connecting the heart with the brain, A branch of the vagus nerve restraing the action of the heart while a branch of the sympathetic nerve accelerates it, the latter nerve being not always in action, while the former appedrs to be generally so.

A touching story of domestic Wwoe comes to us from Nashville.

Poor Mrs, Henderson learned that her wayward husband was frequenting the Gatlin villa, and thereupon she roused herself from her couch and began a nocturnal reconnoissance. Applying her ear to an opening between theupright boards of the Gatlin chateau, she heard Ellen say: “If she aint a pos sumin’ you can send her to de Workhouse.” Then the outraged wife butted in the door and knocked her ponderous rival erazy with a skillet. =Be- | fore she could serve her agile spouse in the same way, he took time by the forelock and his trousers by one legl and sauntered out of sight. » : ‘

A New Party Inevitable, [ From the St. Louwis Republican. (Ind.)) It is becoming plain, even to persons who are not stu%ents of politics, that we are about fo have new political “combinations in this country. The | people have had enough of Democracy. l and enough of Republicanism, and ‘they want something else. They are not willing merely to swap one for the other;gthey demand something better thar either, and they are this moment in search of that something, resolved to continue their search until they find it. They are ready to see the republican party overthrown, hut they are not ready to see it succeeded by a demoeratic ascendancy. . There ~are'scores of thousands of Republi~cans in the North, chief] yin the NorthWest, who are ready to cease to be Republicans, but are not ready to become Democrats. The democratic party, then, must give place to a new party, with a new name, a new standard, and to a great extent new lealers. And it will do it. It will protest and remonstrate with some violence against the- compulsory abdication, but it will yield at last, as Federglism, Republicanism and Whiggery vielded before it, and make room for its successor. It may be taken to have already abdicated in half a dozen of the ; great north-western States! it will yield in Ohio even after the present campaign, and this process will go on till, in the Spring of 1876, there will probably not be enough vigor and discipline left in the party to send delegates to a national convention—even if there be enough ‘authority left in the Central Committee to call one, :
