Cows which have calved should 
have succulent food, as carrots, 
and good early-cut hay. With 
such food and warm shelter, they 
will give as much and as rich 
milk as on grass. The juice of 
currants mixed with cream be 
fore churning, will impart a good 
color to butter.

SMITH’S PATENT CORN-SHELLER. 
For shelling corn on a large scale, this is probably 
the best machine in use. It is a horizontal toothed 
cylinder, six feet long, and fourteen inches in diameter. 
It can be operated by water, steam, or horse-power, 
and hence would be very valuable in the western states, 
where Indian corn is grown in very great quantities. 
The following description we find in the catalogue of 
Messrs. Emery &Co., Albany, who have the machine 
for sale. u The ears of corn are confined in the operation 
to a part of the upper or rising side of this cylinder, by 
means of a cast-iron concave or case extending the 
whole length of the machine; and the corn being 
shovelled in at one end is driven through, and the cobs 
discharged at the other, while the corn falls below, be¬ 
ing admitted by the small space on either side of the cyl¬ 
inder. The operation is governed by elevating or de¬ 
pressing the discharging end, which causes the machine 
to discharge the cobs fast or slow, and of course operat¬ 
ing more or less upon them, thus securing to the opera¬ 
tor the means of finishing his work. It is capable of 
shelling two hundred bushels of ears per hour with our 
two-horse power. Price $45 and $50.” 
DOMESTIC AND RURAL HINTS. 
Soot accumulates in winter, and shingles become very 
dry, and many houses are burned by the ignition of the 
former. Every one should therefore keep his chimneys 
clear. 
Paint. —Farming tools, wagons and carriages, and 
roofs, should be painted white or a very light color, to 
prevent heating in the sun, warping and cracking. A 
tin-covered roof is always accompanied with a cool garret. 
Door latches. —A great deal of noise about house 
maybe prevented by keeping latches and locks properly 
I oiled. 
! Everything in its place. —The man who loses 1 alf 
an hour daily going for or hunting displaced tools, loses 
150 hours per year, or about half a month working time. 
Everything under shelter. —The wagons, carts, 
plows, harrows, cultivator, horse-rake, &c., cost on 
many farms at least $300. They wear out or break in 
half the time they would otherwise endure, by exposure; 
that is $500, with interest, has to be paid, where $300 
might answer with care. 
Painting Roofs.— The roofs of all buildings should 
be painted of as light a color as practicable. Dark colors 
or black, absorb the sun’s rays, warp the shingles, and 
render the garret-and upper rooms uncomfortably hot.
