The properties of a good milk house arc, i tliat il be cool in the summer, and moder- <, atelv warm in the winter, so as to preserve s a temperature of about 4~> degrees through- , out the whole year ; and that it be dry, so as . to admit of its being clean an sweet at all , times. A butter dairy consists of three t apartments?a milk house, a churning house ( with a proper boiler, and other convenien- j ces for scalding and washing the imple- r ments, which should be dried out doors when , the weather will permit. The cheese dairy , should likewise consist of three apartments , ?a milk house, a scalding and pressing ? house, and a sal ing house. To tb.ese may t be added a cheese room or loft. A dairy , for a small family may be formed in a thick . walled dry cellar, having windows on the ( north and east sides, which are preferable for ^ fontilhitinn. In winter these windows should . have double sashes, and in summer, a fixed frame of close wire netting, or hair cloth, to j exclude flies and other insects. In most places cows are milked twice in ' twenty-four hours, throughout the year. t Where quantity of milk or cheese is an ob- j jeer, three times milking must be prefera- j hie ; but as twelve hours are necessary for the clue preparation of the milk in the cow, , it must be inferior in qualify if drawn more ; than twice a day. Whatever be the times t of milking, the milk should be drawn off L clear; otherwise, what is left will be rcab- |. .sorbed into the system, and no more be gen- j crated than is requisite to supply the quanti- ( ty actually drawn. The milker, whether a ( man or woman, ought to be mild in man- , ners, and good tempered. If the operation r is performed harshly, it becomes painful to t the cow. who, in this case, oficn brings into . action her faculty of retaining her milk at pleasure; but if gently performed, it seems | rather to give pleasure. When cows are ( ticklish, they should be treated with the most , soothing gentleness, and never with harshness or severity ; and when the udder is hard , and painful, it should be tenderly fermented { with luke-wurm water and stroked gently ; ' . by which simple expedient the cow will be | j brought into good temper, and will yield her ( milk without hesitation. Whenever the teats < of the cow become scratched, or wounded, | so as to produce foul or corrupted milk, it ( ought on no account, to be mixed with the ( sweet milk, lest it should taint the atmos- ( phere, and thus prove injurious to the rest of the milk. j. Cows should be milked as near the dairy ! , as possible, in order to prevent the necessi- i, tv of carrying and cooling the milk before it' is put into the churning dishes. Every cow's milk should be kept separate till the peculiar , properties of such is so well known as to , admit oftheir being well classed, when those . that are most nearly allied, may be mixed , together. The very best quality of butter can only be economically made in those j dairies where cheese is also made; because , in them the best part of each cow's milk (the ( first drawn ofT) can be set apart for throwA | ing up cream, t!>c cast part ot tins cream (the first separated) can be taken in order ( to make into butter, and the remainder, or ( all the rest of the milk and cream of the dairy, can be turned into cheese. The spoili 7 taneous separation of cream, and the production of butter, are never effected but in consequence of production of acid i:i the milk. Hence it is, that where the whole milk is set apart for the separation of cream and the whole of the cream is separated, the milk must necessarily have turned sour before it is made into cheese ; and no very excellent cheese can be made from milk I which has once attained that state. BEES. Some persons that keep Bees neglect to take them up until some weeks after they have been consuming the honey in the hive. The bee ceases to procure honey as fast as they consume it earlier in the season than is generally supposed. They lose after the first of September until they have access to Buck-wheat that is in bloom. They will not generally collect honey enough to support them in the two last weeks in August unless the weather is very favourable to their labouring, and the season is wet, so as to keep a supply of honey in the flowers. We have sometimes weighed hives every week or fortnight, and found that in a dry season the hives were heaviest the last of July. A hive that gained ten pounds a week in the last of June and first of July, lost 3 lbs. from July 23 to Aug. 6th. During this fortnight, the weather was as warm as it had been anytime in the season, but it was very dry and of course the flowers afforded but a little honey. If any person supposes that bees will gain, at this season of the year, let hint weigh his hives every week, and he will soon be convinced to the contrary? unless * his bees have an unusually good pasture.

FATTENING IIOGS. < On the first day of December, four slioats t of the same breed, nearly of a size, and as } much alike in every respect as could be so- i lected from a herd of ninety-odd hogs, were s made choice of; each carefully weighed and t placed in a separate stye, where their food \ could be exactly regulated. They weighed ?i between ?1 pounds and 100. The two, t whoso weights together made 1st.) pounds, 1: were fed on one gallon of shelled Idian corn, t< weighing seven pounds to each, for every u twenty-four hours, and as much water as s they wanted. This quantity of food was a v plenty for them : generally tiiev about con- e aimed it. Some live or six different days g between the first of December, and fourth of ti January, the time the experiment was going n 3n. they did not eat their whole allowances, b For the two slioats, whose weights toj*ethcr made 173 pounds, seven pounds of n *ood Indian corn meal, by measure ten pints a were made into good mush, or hasty-pud- w 1 * 1~-1 Kntn Inr nrPrv tl Ullg, HUH UIVKICU UUIVH.1.U uitlii iui i_?. wenty.four hours.

Dear Madam,?If you can find room ir our valuable journal for the following in. nesting and instructive fact, you will oblige A Pastor. About twelve months since, I bad the leasure of introducing into my church a tdy, who with her husband had long connuotl an enemy to the cross of Christ, 'lie Lord, in mercy, was pleased at Iengt!) > convince her of sin, and righteousness, iid judgment, and after a variety of oxerises, severe and protracted, she was enaled to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for lb and salvation, and enjoyed, as a blessJ consequence, that peace which the world m neither give nor take away. I regret to say, that, though her husband iiccrfully joined her in parties of pleasure, nd fully participated in all the fashionable lilies which distinguished them, yet he had L_. i* .. .V, fmiV.ir o svmpauiy ior uiu new i/iaw kji v/hjut* icnts with which after her change, her appiness was identified. In fact, his seep, eism on the subject of religion led him tc ?'gard its doctrines with inditrerence if no! ith absolute contempt. lie noticed the Imngc in his wife's views and feelings, ai rst, with sentiments of pity; but when he mnd that she was steadfast in her princiles, and decided in the course she hat larked out for herself, he became angr\ nd peevish. I fear that many Christian females, whose ushands know not (rod, by injudicious onduet strengthen the prejudices whicl icy wish to break down, and instead of at. acting repel. I am happy to record, tc le honor of my friend, a course of prudence ropriety, and affection, the reverse of this, he kept cons mtly in mind the apostolic ljunction.W ives. submit yourselves un> vour husbands and therefore, in al !ic was strictly and cheerfully obedient. ^ [er religion, happily, was eminently loveh nd attractive, yet entirely free from mcai nd sinful compliances. It did not partake fthat pharisaic spirit which says. Stand by am holier than thou. At the same time was sufficiently marked to show forth it; ue character. Nor was the religion o ly excellent friend, of that si'' ly, fas-idiom haractcr which is unable to distinguish be veen the urbanities of life and conduct whicl ;offensive in the sight of God. Thus, by; onstant exhibition of cheerful piety, sin oftened, in a great measure, the asperities f her husband's empor, and weakened hi: rejudices. Yet she was not the compan 3ii with whom he once could sing, am ancc, and enter into company. Agains very species of Sabbath violation she do idedly set her face; on this subject he irmness was now to be put to the tesf. Her younger sister was to be married t? , worthy young man, and the ceremon; ras to be performed under the maternn oof. Mrs. was anxious to be pre ent, especially as her sister was to lean mmediatcly for the " far west," and the pro oability of seeing her again for a long tim r> conic was not great. Just before tb leparturo, she was informed hy her husbam hat an unexpected circumstance had oc aired which prevented him from leaving ionic that day. " Well," replied she, " mi very much disappoiutcd, but I must sub nit." "O no," said he, " you shall not b lisappointed ; we can go to-morrow, (Sun lay,) and shall reach your mother's hous< n good season." " I thank you for you iitcnded kindness," replicrd she, "but as to uoitow will be the Sabbath,! cannot go. Yoi :now mv opinion on that subject, which i mchanged. Nothing but a deed of mere; vould justify me in travelling on the Sab >ath. This is not one, and ! must beg ti m excused." Though his wife had mani ested much tenderness in her manner ye nth her decision Mr. was not inucl leased and he left home 0:1 the following lay, discontented and peevish. A journey alone affords time and oppor unity for reflection; and Mr. avail d himself of it. He reviewed the wholi :ourse of his wife's conduct since the da; rlien she publicly professed her faith in tin sudor?her uniform piety, her unostenta ions devotion, her sweet and amiable de (ortmen% her patience with him. and tin vident design which she manifested t( dease and make him happy. lie returnd home in a better temper, and receive! icr affectionate welcome with unwonte< enderness. After giving an acount of' the wedding nd the state of the family generally, he said 11 am really surprised, wife, that you woul< lot accompany me ; and to tell you tlx ruth, J was quite disposed to be angry witl 'ou for it; but upon reflection I can bu espect you for your consistency. I neve bought much nbuot religion, and one reasoi e is, I have seen so little of it in those wl e pretend to have a great deal. But if it w e make me what it has made you, (thou< it ! you were always a good wife) it is wortl - j of more attention than I ever bestowed upc e j it." I need not say how much atfected tli L* j young Christian sister was, by the avow r of her husband. Since the time referred t , I Air. has appeared in the sanctuai . | in company with his wife ; and though thei , is no decided evidence that he eas experiei . j ced a change of he heart, yet there is ui t | questionably a great change of outwai . conduct. Permit me, dear madam, to con 1 mend to all the wives who read your jou 1 nal, and who have unbelieving husbani the conduct of Mrs. as an exampi ; worthy of imitation. "For what knowe: ; thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save th . ! husband." ; i "There is a large class of excellent f?

Mr. Preston, in his speech concerning the Rail Road, on Monday last, drew a very striking contrast between the difference of character of the people of the Northern and the Southern parts of the Union, and the consequently opposite condition of the countries that they inhabit.
