Mariners1 tnnunt In most cases the haVit is contracted during the of ki ckinj first month after the cow has had her first calf. If, aa is often the case with well-fed hei fers, the udder is a little feverish at the time, it is often impossihle for the poor creature to stand still while the necessary milking is being done. Fol lowing the instinct of nature, she kicks; and. finding she is thus for the moment freed from pain, continues to do it till 'ihc anger of ihc milker is aroused, and then a lad matter is made much worse. It is better, in the first place, to tie .the heifer by the head ; then set your .left shoulder gently but firmly against her, just back of her right shoulder ; rasp firmly her right fore-leg, below the knee, and with a strap or cord confine it fast in an elevated position. .While standing on three legs she will Rnl Jf T;fHri1f in k-JrV Kn na in hurt you. . Xow take a convenient-sized cloth .and wet and wash the . udder thoroughly with tepid or cold water, after which milk her as carefully and tenderly as possible, using at the same time such gentle and soothing lan guage as is calculated to show her that 3'ou do not wish to hurt her; but, let her struggles be ever so violent or pro- vekmg, mind you keep control ot your own temper. An outbreak on your . part will as- certainly be productive of a -bad effect upon the cow, as an echo will .answer your own voice, or as your imairc will be reflected in a mirror.' Kindness combined with the perfect . control 3'ou have over her in this situa tion, is much the best way of breaking her; and after a few days she will hit her foot as readily to have it tied as a horse will to be shod. Continue to milk ' her in this way till the soreness is gone, and she will find it a gratifica tion to be milked; will often meet you as" she sees you coming with the pail, and you will ever after find it easier to. get along with her should her teats, by chance; get sore afterward. FACTS A20TIT 'XDLXX. Cream can not rise through a great depth of milk. If, therefore, milk is desired to retain its cream for a time it should be put into a deep, narrow "dish; and if - it be desired to. free it most completely of cream, it should be poured into a broad, flat dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth. Ihc evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise, and retarded by a depres sion of temperature. At the usual temperature of the dairy fifty deg rees of Fahrenheit all the cream will, probably, rise in thirty-six hours; but in seventy degrees it will rise in half that time; and when the milk is kept near the freezing-point, the cream will I rise very siowiy, because it becomes solidified. - . . - ' In wet and cold weather the milk is less rich than in dry and warm, and on this account less cheese is obtained in cold than in warm, though not in thundery weather. The season has its effects. The milk in spring is sup posed to be the best for drinking, hence :a . l.i i. i. c 1 .it uuiu ie me ut'SL iur canes; in sum mer it is best suited for cheese; and in autumn the butter keeping is better than that of summer. The cows less frequently milked give richer milk, ' and, consequently, more butter. The morning's milk is richer than the ev ening's. The last drawn of each milk ing, at all times and seasons, is richer than the first drawn, which is the poorest. CCSN C AXE -TEA CAKE-COOKIES. Eds. Rural : I wish to add a few 'homcmade" recipes for the benefit of farmers wives and daughters, to the many valuable ones which have come tinder my notice in tue columns ot my your excellent paper.

My recipe for cookies is this : Two cups sugar, two and a half cups sour cream of best quality, one teaspoonful soda, spicing as preferred; mix soft, roll thin, bake quick. In delicacy of appearance agrccableness of flavor, and healthful ne?s, this cookie is unsurpassed. Su perintendent of a farmer's table. Eally Tomatoes. This is one of the most difficult vegetables to force, and should be started very early in or der to anticipate the season. Those .who havo grecn-housc3 and hot-beds need no other facilities. But those who have only a'stand of parlor plants and keep up a constant fire for them, can start a few tomatoes with very little trouble. Take a half-dozen four cr thr hz oik I.:.: iVC inches pots and plant two or seeds 111 each, in rich garden Th pots can stand with the plants, and receive the r tcring nr.d attention. THica arc well started, pull up all lac.'-t vigorous one in each pot. stir t::c e h frequently around them, i r:vv'.7 rapidly dvA fill the mass of fine roots, ;:2 p when they will . - , . 1 1. li ti .TV cod expcr;r2 en tho south side cf ;.a wall or fence, '' they will suflerlittlu check in the transplant ing, and you will get tomatoes much earlier than from seed planted m Jhe open ground in April. ;" :!" Tiie Yeli-ow Locust I will tell yon how I managed to get a grove of yellow locust trees. About , twenty years ago I towed half a pound of lo cust seed, in beds, the same as I bow beets or carrots. I prepared my seed by pouring hot water on it, and letting it stand a lew hours. Ihe next; spring I took up my seedling trees, arid set them out on a piece of ground that was so poor it would hardly tun over I plowed some furrows ' twelve or fif teen feet apart, laid the roots of my seeding trees into them, about two feet apart, covered .. them with my hoe, righted them un with mv hands, and let them go without further cultivation . . - -W a . ft At this time 1 have a beautitul grove of trees, straight and thrifty, and many of them long enough for fence-posts. The effect oi the land is wonderful.' It produces ten times the feed it; before the trees were set out. " Tfl did hen I took possession of my farm, I found that acre had been skinned till it was almost worthless. Now it produces double the feed of any acre of pa sture I have. I take no little pride m show ing my tree ?, and the luxuriant growth of white clover under them. GOOD AND BAD INVESTMENTS TOE FABHEZS., - Some, perhaps wo might say many farmers, when they find themselves in possession of a little capital, neglect to avail themselves of the tafa and profitable node of investing which is ready always : on their own premises, and which is subject entirely to their own control, and too often seek an in vestment for their spare funds in the w 1 stock ot some railroad, oantinj: or other company. This is turning aside profits from their natural channel, and the consequences are the loss ot the profits which judicious improvements m nelus or implements, or swck or buildings would certainly have yielded them, and sometimes the loss of prin cipal as well as interest, by an injudi cious investment in stocks. We have upon a late occasion, as upon many former ones, submitted to our readers some suggestions in reference to this subject, intended to persuade them that their safest and most profitable mode of investment lies within the compass of their, own legitimate pursuits. Our columns, al so, are at ail times, abundant in hints as to methods in which capital may at any time be invested to good' advan tage, as in draining, manure-saving, composting, digging and ' drawing muck, and other modes of increasing the fertility of the soil; in purchasing improved and really useful and labor saving implements; or, to name no more, . in improving .; the quality of the stock of all kinds, and enlarging and making more convenient the build ings of all kinds upon the farm. In these and many similar ways may a farmer at almost any time, make a better investment at home, and in his own business than li can do by the purchase of almost any kind of stocks, or even ot bonds and mortgages. To' add confirmation and force to what we have already said on this, sub- ect, we give the following remarks from The Ohio Fanner: "How many a farmer has lost the avails of ten years prosperity by buy- g railroad stocks! Let him do so no more, lne tanner cannot traae in stocks with success. This is a species of venture for which his training dis qualifies him. Let mm throw no more hard-earned gold into this greedy vor tex. He will pronounce our advice good if he will notice facts." Country Gentleman. Cabbages for Stock. Every far mer, and, indeed, every person having a garden and a hen, a pig, or a cow, will do well to have gome cabbage plants with which to fill the ground when early crops have been TemoYcd too late for turnips. The cabbage is a sure grower, and faithful in its mis ' v sion, whether put out early or late. To secure good, firm heads for table use, requires considerable caro in kinds, times, soil, and culture; but ' to ; secure a good growth of highly-nutritious and valuable food for stock, requires but a small, measure of regard for either. - ;. - The cabbage contains a full propor tion of nitrogen in addition to the oxy cren. hvdrocren, and carbon, the ele ments of the great mass of r the veg etable kingdoms. In this, it ia closely allied to animal food, and on . this ac count, as weil a3 on others, it 13 a valuable addition to the usual food of animals. We believe the cabbage wor thy of high estimation as a regular field crop, not merely lor the pork ana cabbage trade, but as food for cattle and hog?, and that it will be extensi w j . a 1 vely cultivated for that purpose; bu however thi3 may be, we are confiden that the cabbage 'affords : the bes means of filling the cround- which, from any cause, remains vacated the first cf August.

This remarkable Sail has bee a kept secured to the inventor by caveat recenilT. however, (June 27th, 185-1.) Letters Patent for the United States have been granted, se curinir tho invention for fourteen years. This Mill has sustained itself wherever it has been brought in to competition with other Mills. It was run agtdnsi the other mike of Jlills o our city, at the Ohio State Fair, in 1SJ 0, when it drew a diploma as the best Corn Mill, and was awarded a fine silver medal. Of these Mill3 we manufacture five sizes for corn, and three e:rpres?ly for grinding wheat flonr. The peculiar novelty of this Mill is, the under stone is the runninz stone, in all cases. There is no limit to the ;5peed, and as speed is everything in grind icr. it will oat triad err upper rrinder in the world, Secondly:: By this arnr. -emcnt we are enabled to get grain into tha iliU wiih a very small eye, conse quently wo grind cearcr the centre, and cf coarse with less pcwei ttan any upper runner can le made.
