\VI\TK1UNG COWS.
Almost every family, especially in the
country an<i the smaller towns*, keep one or
more cows. for the purpose of supplying
themselves with milk and butter?both arti
cles of prime necessity with every house
keeper. In this paper we shall not speak of
the care and management of large dairies,
but rather of ease* like those above indica
ted, whore their owners do not often study
that close economy in feeding their cows, and
in the disposal ol their products, * hie fa nuty
very profitably be given in large establish
ments. But everywhere those who would
have milk in winter, must not forget that
Kuceulent and nutritious food is needed to
keep up its flow. But slight dependence can
be had on dry fodder alone, unless it be first
rate, both in'character and quality.
Milch cows should be stabled, especially
at night, and in stormy weather. This is
too frequently neglected, the milch cow re
ceiving no better eare than those not in
milk, or the young stock of the farmer.?
This is a mistaken policy, if milk is de
sired. And from good cows, well fed and
cared for, it is more valuable thau at any
other season of the year. Good butter can be
made, and commands a Letter price than at
any other season. It will pay for owe cow
or for scores, to keep them sheltered and com
fortabie?all their wautsas fully supplied as
circumstances will allow.
A proper and convenient supply of water
is of much importance. No animal, and no
milch cow especially, should be compelled
to wander oif in the bleak, cold storm, to some
distant pond or spring-hole for drink, but
.should have it supplied at or near the yard,
if possible. When there is difficulty in get
ting water, cattle are apt to driuk too much
at a time, and milch cows decrease in milk
from such painful distention of the stomach
with ice cold water. Many dairymen find
it profitable to warm the water given their j
cows and animals iu winter.
Good liny may well form a part of the
winter feed of cows, but they need some
thing more in order to a good supply of rich
milk. Carrots and other root crops, also
pumpkins and apples, promote the tlow of
milk and the health aud thrift of the animal, '
Where these cannot be had, the coarser graina,
ground and mixed with chopped hay or straw,
or cornstalks, may be fed to the cows, or they
map' be employed in couqection with the
article* first named. An occasional change
of feed is much relished by cows us well as
other stuck, aud promotes both health and
appetite. Oats and barley, or oats aud corn
<5r buckwheat, or rye, form a good provender
or meal lor this purpose. Corn meal fed
alone has a teudeney to dry off the milk?its
greatest talue is for fattening rather than
milk-making purposes. Give cows what
good hay and well-cured cornfodder they ,
"will fully dispose of, and a peck or so of
shorts or provender properly wet or seasoned I
with a Utile salt, and they will continue in i
milk as longasth'?ugh roots were given them, 1
and yield milk of a richer character.
Regularity, both iu feeding and milking,
is necessary to the comfort and thrift of the
cow. Many, when their cows give but h,
small quantity, milk but once a day in w in
ter. Y.'e cannot commend the practice, and
?would not follow it unless for the purpose of
drying off our cows, it is true they give a'
a loss quantity at night than at morning, but
milked regularly, the night's milking may be
looked upon as so much extra to what would ;
be obtained with milking once a day.? I

Horribi.e Sufferings of a Family.?The j
Pottsville Miners' Journal, gives a distress- i
ing accouuiof the sufferings of a family nam- j
eel Frantz, in Schuylk.ll county. Pa., during |
the extreme cold weather of Saturday last.? j
A young man, who, it seems, had been sent
from St. Clair to llazleton, with a team, for i
the our|?o*o of removing the family to the
former fdaoo, found it necessary to uuhit;h j
his hordes and leave the wagon on a moun- j
tian, to go home and have his horses' shoes
sharpened. The persous composing the fam
ily, loft in that dangerous position, were Mr.
Frauu, five small children, an elder daugh
ter and her husband. After the driver had
been absent some time, the family left the
wagon, tor the purpose, if possible, of reach
ing their home: but the rain falling fast and
freezing as rapidly as it feel, impeded their
progress.
All, finally, became exhausted except the
young man and his wife, who picked up the
remaining child, a boy, and proceeded home
as rapidly as posfible. On reaching home,
he informed his friends of the occurrence,
and they started in search of the unfortunate
sufferers. When discovered, Mrs. Frantz aud
the children were insensible. The mother
vras lying on her back, with her babe press
ed tightly to her bosom, while her clothing
?was frozen to the ground. One of the chil
dren. a little girl, while attempting, evi
dently to crawl up the hill, had slipped; her
clothing was stripped from her person, and
she whs tound exposed and frozen to the
ground. The children were taken to a place
of shelter, but Mrs. Fiautz was not remov
ed until a wagon had been procured. The
tirst inquiry from her lips when restored to
consciousness, was for her children. The
boy first taken home, has died. It is thought
that Mrs. Frantz will recover. The babe is
well. Thereis, hoA'ever, some doubt of the
recovery ofthe other children.

\ 1T0RCESTERS PIANOS.?From the New
i VV York Commercial Advertiser, Noveuib?r
17th, 1859:?"For the better part of a generation
thev have been constantly before the public, ail ?>i
them, old and new, proving, by their stability and
i constancy,the skill with which they arc construc
ted. For durability of tone, for evenness and uni
formity of work, and for excellence of frames,
these PIANOS may well challenge competition.
We know instruments of Mr. Worcester s turn
out, that have borne the thumping of fifteen
years, and remain as perfect in tone and in build
as in their first estate. The number made at this
Factory is largely increased from year to }ear.
Iam sole Agent in Alexandria, for the above
PIANOS, and will furnish any number at Factory
prices. 5 per ct. off for cash, or at six month- for
approved negotiable paper, and w arrant every
Instrument. Feeling perfectly satisfied that a
better PIANO cannot be had in tho United States
I respectfully solicit ordirs from all who want,
and are disposed to patronize home trade.
