MISCELLANEOUS.

rnPlTMOT OF MILl'II LOW S. There if, perhaps, no part of the husbandry of our country so much neglected as that which relates to the providing of provender for the milch, cows on our farm. On many estate?, even I hose of magnitude, the chief part of the feed, if not the entire, which- the) get are the blade?, the lop?, and thy husks of the corn, with an occasional gratuity of nubbins by w ay of a holiday feast. The consequence is, that if ihe winter be severe and prol raited, there is nine chances out of ten, tint every cow, long before spring anive, i either dry, or so near it, that the milk she will give is not worth the trouble and i.o.t of stripping, so that many farmtr with half a dozen or more tows, have neither milk nor butter sufficient, for the domestic uses of their tables, during the latter part of each winter; and by the time that the cold and bleak w inds of March arrive, many of the cows are on the lift. How is it possible that it can be otherwise? There is little or no succulence in the food we have described in its dry state, and con- quently cows fed upon it must, for the want of matter convertible ii.to milk, cease to yield it. In every other country save our own, it forms a part of the business of every farmer or planter, to piovide full supplies of nutricious f o I for his. stock of every kind, and fortho-e which comprise his dairy cows, especial pains and care are taken to piovide a sufficient supply of such roots as are hcaiter.ing and succulent, so that, by thus providing a substitute for the gru--cs 1 1 the pastures, or the soiling stalls or yards, his dairy, even through the dreary and inclement peiiod of tin; winter, mav continue to contribute largely to the comlovt ot his fa roily, and to ihe increase of his fortune. No good far met there, will keip more cows than he can &q -, and in so keeping thai, he finds his interest icvvurdcd. ami Ins besides the satisfaction of know i;ig, that ill thus acting he has fii'iin-d m ohhg-i-tion imposed upon hiui hv cvrv humane consideration, and o!is !i t: g;-d a duty required by linn, who, in phi in:; tne neasts oi ttio tieia in su'u wow to man, cnjoiiu-J that he should extend to wauls them his kindest protection and cue. Wc fivquentlv h-'ar g. r.i! . nn n complaining of the difficulty of prn ailing such cows, as will in ike p-ouuMo returns, aad of the imporsi'uliu oi keeping them to their miik dating U ' winter. The icaon is o'Aiou-i.

To make a cow )icl 1 a liberal supply ot milk through ine winter, sh should have in ad hiion to tail sapp!i of good wholesome hay or fodder, at least a halt u huhel ot routs of som, kind, or an equivalent of cabbages 01 kale per day.

We hue indulged in no speculative theories in what we have said, but have addressed ourself to the common sense of the agricultural community, in the hope that they will see the propriety of adopting some plan by which our object can be attained. IIOlslM; AX! WINTERING POTATOES. The erroneous practice pursued by the best fanners generally, induces me state the manner I have pursued for years with unvaried success. To preserve o or COO bushels I make a box or bin 4 feet wide, 3 feel high, and sufficient length lo contain the required quantity, have (he joints well fastened and made as light as possible put into the cellar bottom. If the potatoes are intended to be taken out at different times two or three partitions should be put in crossw ise of the bin, to preserve such as are not required for immediate use from the exposure lo the atmosphere. After this pre paration is completed, the next operation is gathering and housing them. J ere I must again dissent from the usual practice of fanners generally. Instead of leaving thorn in the sun and w iinl to ih y, after digging, in small pareels, in raits or heaps (la-y should be immediately covered with (ops, or something else, even if they remain in the held but a few hours. Tins destructive practice, must I think, be entirely attributable to want of reflection. It is the sole cause which produces the evils so much complained of, by us called (he watery potatoe destroying not only the flavor but a great portion of the nutriment, la fact, sun, wind and rain are as destructive to a new dug potatoe, as moonlight is to a fresh ouughl li-h.

The instinct of the faithful animal had discoveied the waylaying and near approaching wolf, and withdrawn himself from following his master lo the chase he has watched the movements of his adversary, and found he had scented human flesh in his master's habitation bis sagacity hid contrived lo remove the babe, and to deposit it safely beneath its cradle, in anticipation of the coming light; he had obtained the victory, and he waited his masters return to deliver up his charge, and be caressed for his fidelity. "It is not true," said a gentleman, who w as one of the listeners to the story, as it was narrated by a Welchman 'it is not true," he said, as he leaned his elbow on ihc table, supporting his iiead by his hand, which also coveted his ev es. "If you subscribe to the doctrine of Leslie's Short Method wilh the Deist," said the Welchman, "you must also admit this. For there is the stone the monument set over the grave of Ciliart lo this day, there is the village, erected on the spot, and bear

ing the name of the dog's grave Bcdd (j'ltrt; and the same story has come down from ihese monuments from general ion to generation. The story, and the monument are corroboratives and living demonstrations of the facts." "Well then," said the gentleman, still leaning on his hand and covering his eyes, "the dog has done suffering, has he not ? I am glad that he has no protracted and conscious existence, lo remember that he became a martyr to his fidelity that he died to save his master's child. 13ut 1 seem even now to see him wagging his tail, moaning and looking submissive, as he lies weltering in his blood, with his eyes fixed upon his master, in agonies of death. I wish 1 could gel rid of the idea." Cotton's four I tar. FA lit FI.AY. A nobleman resident at a castle in Italy was about to celebrate his marriage feast. All the elements were propitious except the ocean which had been so boisleious as to deny the very necessary appendage of fish. On the very morning of the feast, however, a poor fishei man made his appearance, with a lur'ool so large that it seemed to Iihvo been created for the occasion. Joy porvadi d the c asllc. and the fisherman was uhered with his priz-'i into the saloon, whi le ihe nobleman in Ihe presence of his visiters, requested him to put what price he thought proper on the f.sii, and it should be instantly paid him. One hundred lushes, said the fiherain,o!i my bare back, is the price of my fish, and I v ill not bate one strand of whip cord on the bargain. The nobleman and his guests were not a liillc astonished, but our chapman was resolute, and remonstrance was in vain. At length the nobleman exclaimed, well, well, the fellow is a humorist, and the ti-h we must have, but lay on lightly, and let the price be paid in our presence. After fifty lashes had been administered, Mold hold, exclaimed the fisherman, 1 have a partner in ibis business, and it is fitting that he should receive his share. What! are there two such madcaps in the world ex claimed ihe nobleman; name him. and i .,, r - ..I Xiie shall be sent lor insiaiiuy. ion need not go far for him, said the fisher man, you will find him at your gale in ihe shape of your own porter, who would not let me in until I promised that he should have the half of what ever I icceive for my turbot. Oh, oh, said the nobleman, bring him up mstanlly, he shall leceive Ins stipulated moiety w ith the strictest justice. 1 hi ceremony being finished, he discharged the porter and amply rewarded the fisherman. kissing. The custom of kissing the ladies by lueir .relations and lovers, was origina ted by the ancient Romans, not out of respect to the fair, but lo find by respiring llieir breath whether they had been drinking wine, a crime that if thus detecled disgraced any lady found guilty of it, and excluded them from all elegant and virtuous circles of fash ionable society, and hence it became an adage in Rome, to say that those females who sacrifice to Bacchus, will as certainly make their clandestine oflei'ings at Ihe auar oi v enus. U hal philosophers those Romans were! Kissing in the abstract was hothnig to iiioui. They found no plea sure in il. Tne lips, where dwelt the loves, were, so far as any pleasurable sensation derived from contact with then, was concerned, on a par with the lips of mummies. They kissed not as a pleasure, but as a solemn duty, be caifse they wished to ascertain wheth er the fair sisterhood had been too free with Ihe bottle. Our word upon it, I hey made the experiment many times during the twenty-four hours, and wc doubt not the Roman maidens were so

devoted in their support of their doctrines of the Temperance societies of those dajs, that they were always ready to be put to the test, and prove by oscillatory demonstration their abhorrence of strong waters.
