your readers, and the people lof the
Terfitory, should be corrected:
The Laws of 1916, amendatory Of
the Pre-Emption Laws Of 1912 does
give Pre-emptors the right Of pre-
empting 40 acre tracts, whether of.
"offered or unoFered lands"
None of the Presumption Laws
recognize the right Of Pre-emptors to
take more than 100 acres, and. of
course the Territorial Laws cannot in
any manaer affect the United States
Presumption Laws. A custom, how
eva, appears to prevail, and seems
to be generally understood in some
portions Of the Country, that actual
bOnqfde Sc Tiers should select $40 acres
-160 of which they can pre-empt, and
the other 100, tits presumed, they viii
be permitted to bid in at the public
sale at g overnment price. It does
seem to 3D. inst that the early settlers
should have some privileges and rights
lit is that class which has inparted
value to the remaining lands. The
only dang er i can see to the consume
tionof their design, WILDE, by persons
attempting to hold more than that
qaantity. If It should be attempted,

outside bidders to disregard the whole
practice. But if each settle, win III

Z A Calf should never be changed sudden
ly from all milk to all grass, but it should be
brought about gradually; otherwise the
growth may be injuriously affected. The food
with which they are fed has powerful inHu-
ence on the milking properties of all COWS
and the mode 10 which they are reared has
considerable effect on their capacity to give
milk. In milk we have all that is necessary
for the growth Of the young animal, and it is
the type and representative of all food foI
unless an aliment contains the principles Of
milk, it is not fitted for the promotion of the
health and perfect development of the body
It is bad thing to feed calves on skim
milk, as both the butter and casein have been
removed in the shape Of cream. Earl Spen'
Ger, of England, who was very. successful in
weaning his calves, fed them first with new
milk and then with skim milk and meal-the
latter supplying the necessary nitrogen and
nitrogenized materials. -. -..-s..
Exercise for calf that is to be raised is a
necessity, but for all fattings animals the
reverse. Care also should be taken not to
expose them to the cold, and particularly to
sudden changes. Much exercise ofmilk COWS
decreases the production Of butter, and
increases the yield of caseiu. Poor pastures
pruduce, most cheese, aud stall feeding most
butter.-Patent Office Report.

A SINGULAR FACT-A stock raiser Of
Fayette county, KY, lost eight colts one
season, four of them thorough h-bred, and four
of them common scrub stock. He. amputa.
ted the legs of all of them, and boiled of
the flesh, cleaning the bones thoroughly, to
learn, by examination, what difference, in
respect Of bone, there was, between pure
blooded and common ones. On taking the
bones Of the thorough: bred, and holding
them up to the light, he noticed that they
were almost transparent, as much as white
corn. He tried the experiment with the
bones of the inferior stock. They were opa'
que, and transmitted light no more than
buffalo horn. He then tested the bones by
weight, and found the thoroughbred by fal
the heavier, showing their superior substance
and solidity. Theywere hard and dense as
ivory. -. ..... ....

To DRIVE AWAY RATs.-Some years
since correspondent of the Boston Caltiua'
tor recommended potash for the purpose
The rats troubled him very much, so that
be felt justified in resorting to extreme meas.
ures to effect their expulsion from his pre-,
mises. He pounded up potash and streWed
it around their holes, and rubbed some un.
der the boards and on the sides where they
come through; The next night he heard a
squealling among them, which he supposed
was from the caustic nature of the potash
that got among their hair, or on their bare
feet. They disappeared, and for along time
he was exempt from any further annoyance

To MANAGE A REARING HoRsE.-ln
the "British Sportsman" we find the follow.
ing hints respecting the management of a
rearing horse, which, strikes US as being
worthy, as it is easy of trial:
whenever you perceisea horses inclina-
ton to rear seperate your reins and prepare
for him. The instant he is about to rise
slacken one hand and bend or twist his head
with the other, keeping your hands low
This bending compels him to move hind
leg, and Of necessity brings his fore feet
down. Instantly twist him completely round
two or three times, which will confuse him
very much, and completely throw him of
his guard. The moment you have finished
twisting him round place his head in in the
direction you wish to proceed, apply the
spurs, he will not fail to go forward. lfthe
situation be favorable press him into gal.
lop; and apply the spurs and whip two or
three times severely. The horse will not
perhaps be quite satisfied with the first de-
feat, but may feel disposed to try again for
the mastery. Should this be the case, you
have only to twist him. &C., as before, and
YOU will find that in the second struggle he
will be more easily subdued than on the for
mer occasion; occasion in fact you will see
him quail under the operation. 1t rarely
happens that a rearing horse, after having
been treated in the way described, will res
ort to this trick third time"

To Stop BLEEDING FROM THE CAVITY
OF AN EXTRACTED TooTH.-Noticing the
case of Mrs. Locke, who bled to death, in con
sequence Of the extraction of tooth, Dr.
Addington, of Richmond, Va, says he new
er fails to stop the bleeding by packing the
alveolus from which the blood continued tc
trickle, fully and firmly with cotton moissen'
ed in a strong solution of alum and water
He cured a brother physician in this way.
whose jaws had bled for two weeks.

CULTIVATION OF VINEs.-I have, until
this season, dug holes in the ground, filled
them even full with manure, then planted
my seeds. The cold rains Of spring and
early summer would nearly drown them out
by water settling into the holes, the vines
make slow growth and be easily devour'
ed by the bugs. I now build my hills upon
the top of the ground; the rains do not af
feet them but to make them grow. They
come forward more rapidly, and defy the
ravages of the bugs. .r

FALL SET TREEs.-While in the West,
two years since, an old nursery man told me
he had been setting fruit trees for fifteen
wears, and those he set in the fall bore an.
nually while those set in the spring were
very Indifferent bearers. My experience
and observations satisfy me that fall-setting
is much the best, aside from this considera-
tion. They should be we'll mulched the
first winter to protect the roots from frost.
and the next summer, to guard against
drought. III

s@A young lady once had beau. He
was anxious to to enjoy some private con-
versation with his charmeg, but there were
two children in the room. The gentleman
looked to see them sent to bed, but he was
disappointed. The youngest child, a little
boy about three years old, slept with the
young lady, and,had no idea of retiring with
out his bedfellow. Stretching his chubby
length upon the carpet, be watched the
twain with resolutely wide.awake eyes, un-
till the bell rung for nine, when, his patience
became exhausted, he raised his head and
said to the visitor. ssNine o'clock is bed
time. Don't you think your mother wants
you now ?" The mingling Of embarrassment,
vexation, and mirth produced by this hint,

behold. Sonny was sent to bed after that,
