COMFORTS FOR COWeJ.
Now thtt the cold aeason ia c ttinz in, let
the cowi, eapecrallv- the milk-given, have ll
neeuiui attention, iner aiioulil De well
honaed and well fed. The atablea ihould be
unt moderately warm, well ventilated, clean,
and provided with guitable bedding. Aside
Irotn the mere matter of food and drink, the
animal should be kept comfortable. This
matter can harill be over-eMiniated. 1
1 hen, aa to lixlrier t part il thi, ol coure,
should be atraw, and liar, ami cornstalks;
but to expect cows to give milk on such lean
lare is toiiv, favor them wttn meses ol
chopped roots, of cut straw, or stslks mixed
with meal f some kind. A favorite "mess"
fur cattle with a friend of ours ia tliis : Cut
up hay, or straw, or stalks, in pieces nvt more
than an inch or inch anil a hall long, put toe
provender in'a tub or tight bx, and pnur
baiiting water upon it; then sprinkle on a
little salt anil cover tfle whule with a little
bran or meal to keep the steam in. When
cold, feed it in mest.es of a bushel at a tim.
Good as this is, it should be varied from time
to time, for cows like variety as well as men.
Cows should be sailed two or three times a
week. In mild weather the; abould nnge
by day in a commodious yard, protected on
two sides, at least, bv covered shed. And
this yard should have a penstock ol running
water, or a trough kept lull always Irom a
oik! pump; the lirt is best.
A NEW TjIBCOVERY IN WINE MAKING.
Anew discovery made bv a winegrower
near Bordeaux, France, lias just been made
public, and has somewhat startled the old
and steady wine factors, maker, and doctors
of that place. The discoverer of the natural
phenomenon by which win.'s are rendered at
once fit fur bottling, without the long proba
tion J hey have hitherto been made lo under.
Ho, has been fr soma years living in the
mountains. In the various qualities of wine
grownby him he was struck with the differ
ence of development of maturity which took
place, acconlitig1 to the temperature ol the
cellar in which the barrels were atored. The
higher up the mountain the sooner did the
wine arrive at perlertion. The leasnii uf
this difference soon became clear atoms
pherif pressure diminishes gradua l as the
region rises above the level nl t'ie sea. Tlii
discovery induced the experment of raining
and dimiliiahing at will the atmospheric
uro'ure UDon the burreU, and with the
niot perfect ucre. it is -aid, o as to make
old wine in as many days as it iiirmcrly tok
months.
