-r The following mode Of rearing Calves,
adopted by the Society, denominated Sha-
kers, in Canterbury, N. H. was commu-
nicat@ in letter from Francis Winklev,
to Levi Bartlett, Of Warren, N. H., and
was published in the N. E. Farmer, in
1884; but such have been the changes
since that period, In our subscription list
thatit would probably be new to many ofour
readers. =. -.
"We let calves that come in the fore
part Of March, suck week or ten DAYS,
then take them from the COW, giving them
a moderate allowance of new milk to drink
till they have learned to drink it freely
then put in some skinned milk and we
feed then wholly with skinned milk,
taking care to give it at about the tempera-
ture Of milk taken directly from the COW,
by heating part of and mixing it with
the rest. Care should be taken not to
scald the milk, when heated also, not to
give them any sour milk, for this will
make them Scour. The trough or vessel
IN which they drink their milk, should
likewise be kept lcean, end not suffered to
become sour. We let the milk stand
about twelve hours before it is skinned :;
giving a calfat first about four quarts,
night and morning; increasing the mess
as need requires, till he is six weeks old,
from which time till ten weeks old, he
will require, perhaps about IL quarts per
day. Fl
r" When about ten weeks old, we begin
to diminish the quantity Of milk for about
the space Of two or three weeks at which
time we wean them. During the whole
process, from two to fourteen weeks ofage.
calves should be well supplied with good
hay, salt and provender, such as oats,
wheat, bran and oil cake, ground fine. :.
The particular advantages to be deri-
we'd from the above method Of treatment,
are the following:
I II. 1t is much cheaper than to let
them suck inthe ordinary way whereas it
makes great saving of cream for butter,
and that without injuring the calves, it
they are. properly attended to.
~. 1t prevents calves from moaning
or pining, so much while weaving as they
would otherwise do, when taken from the
| cows.
80. 1t not only prevents the cows being
injured in consequence ofthe calves biting
the teats, but also prevents their holding
back the milk from the mixer, which often
serves to diminish the quantity of milk at
forwards.
The only disadvantage to be found in
the above method of treatment is, that it
requires some more labor to feed them,
where they thrive equally we'll in every
respect as those do which are permitted to
suck in the ordinary way."-N E. Far.

Turnips, Corn. Potatoes, &c.

Assuming that 600 bushels of Swedish
turnips will grow upon an acre of ground
which will produce thirty-ive bushels of
corn, and that six bushels of the Swedes
will atten as much as one bushel of corn,
it will be seen that one acre in ruta baga
will 60 about as far in making beef as
three acres in corn, with the further advan-
tage that the latter will cost four times as
much labor in its culture as the former
We have given an instance ofthe Swedish
yielding more than 1900 bushels to the
acre, and the opinion of an intelligent
feeder that two bushels are as much for
feeding. as one bushel ofcorn. The man
gel wurtzel sthe carrot and the parsnip,
may be all raised in field culture, at
about the same expense as com, and they
will give as great yield, and afford as
much nutriment as the ruta baga. The
potatoe, whose culture We are all acquain-
ted with, should be made to yield 800
bushels per acre; and these afford far
more profitable food than grain. A bull
lock will consume from 1870 to 24O pounds
of ruta baga per day; but if FULL fed with
this or other roots, they will consume but
little hay, and have little or no occasion
for water.-CultirGtOr.

Dialogue between a Father and Son.
T. Father the water pitcher in my
room was frozen over last night, and the
water when | broke the ice was so cold
that it made my hands ache.
F. 1t was very cold last night. But
can you tell me why you were not cold,
what kept you so warm while the water
froze2
T. Oh! the bed clothes kept me
warm.
F. Why the bed clothes were cold when
you went to bed, how could they make
you warm?
T. l don't know, | always thought the
bed made us warm you know the more
clothes there are, the warmer we are
kept.
F, Yes, my son, but the heat comes
from our own bodies. You may pile all
the blankets in the house upon your bed
but it would never become warm unless
you get into it yourself Your body is
constantly giving out heat, and when you
have your ordinary clothes on, this heat
flies off into the open air, as rapidly as
your body produces it-but when thick
blankets are upon yon, they prevent the
heat escaping, and thus render you warm
er.
T. But, Father, why cannot the heat
pass off through the blankets! You
know the heat from our fire comes through
thick iron stove.
F. True, my child, but the heat of the
6reis much greater than that ofthc body,
besides all the heat ofthe fire does not pass
out of the stove; a great deal is retained
and flies up the chimney. But blankets
are very different from iron, aud
T. Yes, father, iron is so solid that the
heat cannot penetrate it, but as TO blankets
should think it might easily pass out
through the threads.
F. My dear son, There you mistake
Some substances conduct or carry heat
well, while others almost refuse to carry
it. Now, metals and irons, especially,
conduct heat vel, while wool, fur, feathers,
and all coverings Of animals conduct it
badly. This is wise provision OF the
Creator to keep his creatures warm.
T. But, Father, why have not men
such covering, too?
F. Because men are made to live In all
climates, and therefore need different de-
grees of clothing. 1t has therefore been
left to them to put on such as suits them
best, and they procure most of their cloth
ing from other animals. The wool from
the sheep, the fur from various animals,
the silken shroud Of the dormant worm,
are all used BY man.
T. But, Father, if we keep giving
out heat, we will soon have none left in
US.
F. All! my child, you need not fear
hat While life lasts the fire within
you will keep mp its vivifying warmth.
T. Why, Father, we have no fire with
in US have we!
F. No, but said fire because it is
like fire. When you breathe
you do not throw out the air the same as
you take it ina part called oxygen u
Mites with the blood, and the heat which
xept the oxygen in its fluid state is set free
md warns the body.
T. But how do men know this
F. They do not knOtO it; they suppose
I to be so, because it cannot easily be &C
;ounted for in any other way. But the
regularity of this heat is still more curl
'us. The latest Alderman and the lean
st beggar-be,it Jul y or be it February
till keep the heat of their bedies about
he same-98 deg. of Fahrenheit.-THe

your valuable paper, offer few hints to
my brother farmers on the objects and ad-
vantages Of raising and manufacturing
Oats into bread stuff. The cause of nv
writing this article at this time is, that a
considerable number Of my friends. and
neighbors are making preparationsto move
to the far West, because, they say, I've
can't raise no corn Now, sir, it is my
firm conviction, that the region in this lat
itude is not adapted to the culture Of corn
This, every man of modern understanding
does, or ought to know. But sir, one
thing is certain-we can raise plenty OF
good potatoes, and get as much for them
per bushel, in our cellars, as can be got
for bushel Of corn, in their barns, in Ell
Their Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. or Missouri
We are positive that we can raise good
crops Of wheat, and that this section Of the
country is excellent for the culture of that
article. A friend of mine, whom can be-
lieve, tod me yesterday, that he has this
season raised, after two bushels sowing,
sixty bushels of good wheat. | myself
had, last year, over 46 bushels after two
bushels sowing. on burnt land this year |
cannot tell how much will be the increase,
not having threshed any this season; but
il looks WELL We have in this section,
generally, good health, caused no doubt
by a pure atmosphere, and good wells of
water--which no writer ofany candor has
ever stated TO my knOwledge) is possess,
ed by the settlers who go from New-Eng-
land to the West; there they have the bill
lIous fever and ague to alarming extent.-
Besides, if they would only consider the
high prices they would have to pay for
sheetmgs, shirtings, calicoes, and cloths of
all kinds--notto mention teas, spices, and =,
other luxuries, which the people of New
have been accustomed to, from
their childhood think they would be
more content with their present situa-
ton.
Now Mr.. Editor, five should substitute |
oats for corn, by sowing them in season,
mot sow them in the middle of June, as
some do.l that theysmay be filied-then
husband them, as we would wheat-carry |

no one can tell. The slave debate, how,
ever, has believe, been of immense
value to the Country 1t has brought the
Southern gentlemen to sober reflection
1t has shown that there is not the terror in
their threats of disunion which we have
supposed. These threats have been
thrown back upon them, and the North
has told them she is tired of them and +
they insist on disunion, let them carry ont
their threat at once. They shrink from
the test, and show that their crv Of d;snn.
