Mr. Aiton says : To sum up a;l in one sentenfoe, I now repeat ihundreds and thousands of the i>\s! Scocth dairy cows, when they arc in their best conditio!! and iccll fed, yield at the rate <.f 2039 Scotch pints of ini'k (1000 gallons, a ifcc-ich pint bciug equal to our li#lf gallon) inrae year; lhat in general, trom 7 i-2 to 6 pints (3 1-5 to 4 gallons) of their milk v.::! y i- Id a pound of butter county weight, (1 1-2 !b. avered pois;) that 05 piuts (27 ! -2 gallons- ) or their milk will produce one stone and a half of full milk cheese." Mr. Ran lane, another distinguished Id:. glish authority, says: ** I have s-vn 10 pin'..- of rr.iik (9 gcdlnns) drawn from a cow in one day. f .had a three year old quey that o-zsco :or six v-g.j* after calving gave 13 pints (91.2 gallons) a day. These, however, arc rare in&3:icrc. The fattening properties of the AyrsUie cattle we believe to be a tittle exaggerated. They will feed kindly and profitably; asi their meat will be good.

If, on the contrary, a slight cough still remains next day, it may be easily gotten rid of by means of diaphoretic and antiphlogistic remedies suited to a ieverish catarrh. When the suitable application of hot water, in the manner above recommended, does not produce well-marked and evident relief, at furthest at the end of twentyfive minutes, then nothing more can be expected from a longer perseverance in it, and the increasing cough, hoarseness, anxiety and dyspnoea of the child, must be met by other means. I must observe, however, continues^ Dr. Lehman, that this method has not yet failed in my hands, when ap. plied in the commencement of the disease, and it has been practised in several families I attended, in many cases successfully, and before my assistance could be procured.

PABEXT'S DEP.VBTMEXT. From the Mother's Magazine. INTERVIEW BETWEEN MRS. JONES AND MBS. SMITH. "Do you ash, then, what will educate your son? Your example will educate him; your conversation; the businecs he sees you transact; the likings and dislikings you express will educate him." "Dear Mrs. Smith, how glad I am to see you ? I have requested this interview, that I may avail myself of your friendly advice. Your former admonitions were not lost up011 me. I am as one awakened out of a criminal slumber, and can see nothing he. fore my family but inevitable ruin. My children, who have been so long indulged in habits of disubedicneo and idleness, are now becoming vicious. Why have I not pcrccivdd my errors before their consequences became it reparable! I fear I am forever doomed to be an unhappy mother." "Not quite so bad, 1 would hope, Mrs. Jones. Though your children are in a dangerous condition, yet I am persuaded that you gain nothing by complaining, nothing by despondency. Rather seek to know the worst of your case ? lav your heart open still more to conviction. Be willing to be made acquainted with yourself, and your faults, even at the expense of a right hand, or a right eye. I would guard you against a very common error; instead

Though my intercour.se with this lovely wotnan was more iotimate than usually subsists beh^een sis. ters, yet the unfortunate habits, the neglect, ful treatment, the unkind languago, which this Christian sister continually received from the lather cf her children and the friend of her youth, was never, in a solitary instance, named, or even alluded to, by citlicr of us; and it is believed that this good wife, on no occasion, ever broache^ this painful subject to any earthly friend. Her husband was always treated with rourtcsy aud affection, and as became the master of his family, and thus he was honored in the sight of his children and servants. As might he expected from the judicious conduct cf sueb a wife and mother, her children, who are nearly reared to manhood, promise to become the ornaments of society and the defenders of the faith. " A number of years since, I was visitir:r in tiw family of one who bore the office of deacon or elder in the church, where I witnessed a most mortifying scene. A contest arose between the husband and the wile. The wife insisted that John should take out a log from the back of the chirr. -

who is right, and who is wrong. If you knew that your house was enveloped in flames, and that both of you had been the means of the conflagration, would you spend your energies in settling the question whicli was the most in fault ? A bystander would be shocked on witnessing such a contest, or listening to altercations under such appalling circumstances ? "I fear, Mrs. Jones, you have fallen upon uu error, which has destroyod many families. In such cases both parties arc commonly to blame. I woll remember, however, an iustancc to tho contrary.? Whib I was residing in L. Mrs. R. and myself were on terms of the greatest inti. macv. She had been blessed with superior education. When I first knew her, I felt that nothihg was wanting but piety, to constitute her just the friend I should choose to supply the place of my excellent sisters, from whom I had been so recently separated. One year after our acquaintance, she became a decided Christian. The father of her husband was an eminent divine, and his family were of the first grade, both as to intellect and rank in socitcy. My friend's husband had therefore enjoyed every advantage which an enlightened and Christian education could afford. For a considcra -

" The origin of the Ayrshire Cow is even at the present day a matter of dispute; all that is certainly known about her is, that a century ago there was no such breed in Cunningham, or Ayrsliire, or Scotland, and the present improved stock is supposed to be a cross with some foreign stock* It is ' said to have been the Ilolderness that helped to produce the improved Cunningham cattle. The cattle, from which by crosses with the nati\e breed the present improved Ayrshire arose, were first introduced on Lord March* months estates in Berwickshire. They were soon afterwards carried to the forms of tho same nobleman at Somberg in Kyle. The breed has much improved since Mr* Aiton described it, and is short in the leg, the neck a little thicker at the shoulder, but ^ ' J m llAVrvO

The proper time for the application of this metiiod is at the very commencement of the disorder, when, as is usually the case, the child is awakened suddenly during the night by its invasion, no time should be lost, when wc observe that the breathing is anxious, disturbed, and attended with the well known croupy sound, and ti cough of a ringing character, <S:c. The symptoms are too well known to require enumeration here; suffice to say that the ! most speedily fatal cases are those, where the child goes to bed, apparently quite well, and not laboring under any catarrhal symptoms, and is awakened from a deep sleep by en attack of croup.* Such cases offen prove fatal in twenty-four hours. Even when thus intense, the disease may be arrested in its progress by the immediate application of hot water, in the following manner: a sponge about the size of a large fist, dipped in water as hot as the hand can bear, must be gently squeezed half dry,
