WEAVING CALvEs.-A farmer sends his
plan Of weaving calves to the Country Cen
tleman, as follows:
This year have fed FIVE calves with half
the labor and better success than fed three
last year. My plan is to let the calf be with
the cow until the third day; then take it
away, and commence feeding. Set the milk
twenty-four hours, then skim it. Then l
take good hay and put it in a kettle and steep
it well, until the liquid is of dark color.
This liquid is sweet, and very natural nour-
ishment. Add about one-half of this liquid
or hay tea to half of milk. Pour the hay
tea into the milk while warm, so as to heat
the milk to the right temperature. The old
process of heating milk is more apt to burn,
and it will sour sooner After TIVE or three
weeks, | feed them sour milk with the hay
tea mixture occasionally. l feed them about
eight quarts apiece three times day, for
about two weeks: then think twice day
will answer. I find that calves fed in this
way thrive better and are fatter, and are
more hardy than when fed on milk alone
or allowed to run with the COW, and 1t is
also more profitable to the farmer | make
from four to five dollars week from the five
COWS, by selling the milk The nutritive
qualities taken from the milk are supplied by
the hay tea.

INTENTIONS.

The Federal Constitution is remarkably plain
for purposes Of right. But when you would use
it tor the support of slavery, you meet with
what the Supreme Court called difficulty
70 escape this difficulty you must shut your
eyes to the intentions express I'd in the preamble,
and resort to alledgsd unwrittsn intentions of
those who framed and adopted the instrument.
No doubt they had sufficient variety Of inten-
lions, some good and others bad. But to inter-
pref the Constitution by them would be like
interpreting it by the confusion of tongues.
judge Story poured abundant contempt'on Mr..
Jefferson proposal to interpret in such.a way.
He said 1.-THE people adopted the Constitution
sonable Interpretation" 1t is plain that by
adopting the written instrument they did not
adopt intentions that were not written. 1t is
equally plain that to adopt the Constitution for
the sake of written intentions, was toreject I'M
written ones repugnant to them. If they adop-
ted the instrument because it proposed to es-
tablish justice and secure liberty, they would
have rejected it, had it proposed the contrary.
Were not the trainers of the constitution wise
enough to furnish written record of their in
tentions? Yes, and placed the record where it
could not be missed, at the opening of the Con.
stitution. In this record did they say they in
tended to establish injustice and fsten the curse
of slavery upon themselves and their posterity
No, they said just the contrary. Shareholder
participated in making the record and adop
ted it as their own. But DR.. Bailey assures
us that the trainers of the Constitution intended
to shield slavery against the action of the Fed
eral Government. Well, why did they mo-
honestly put this intention on the record among
better ones? Hear DR.. Bailey's answer to thi
question. In the National Era of Septemb bel
Is, 1856, he says: There can be no doubt tina
a large majority of the trainers of the Constitu

TO Repel Bugs from Vines.

Gardeners will find this "leafy june"
this " month Of roses" busy season, and
not an unimportant part of their work will
be keeping bugs off from the cucumber, mel
on, squash and similar plants. We, there
fore, detail several modes of fighting this
enemy.
A decoction of tobacco and red pepper,
sprinked on the leaves of the young plants,
will repel the bugs. Even the peppei4tea
alone will be too strong for all that have
weak stomachs. A mixture of two parts
-four and one of black pepper, busted on the
vines while wet with the dew, answers as a
partial protection at least.
Open boxes, six inches high and foot
and a half square, set over the young plants,
will answer a good purpose; or cheap
and convenient protector may be made OF
birch-bark, pasteboard, or what is still bet
ter, old floor oil-cloth, pegged down. They
may be six or eight inches high and Of any
desired size. Where the two ends meet, it is
we'll to tack them to one of the pegs. Place
them around the hills as soon as the plants
begin to break ground banking up 50 that
no bugs will work under them. Very few
of the insect tribe will 60 over them. Bugs
do not appear to be skilled in fence climbing
Simply standing bricks on edge around the
plants usually keep them out.
Liquid manure, made from hen-dung, anc
left to ferment, will drive of bugs by its Of
fensive smell. Two shovelsful of hen drop
pings to four gallons of water will make il
of the desired strength. A half-pint of thi'
LIQUID scattered over each hill, on every al
ternate day, will rcpel the bugs, and give the
plants vigorous growth.
A neighbor of ours says he has treated hi
bug visitors, for twenty years past, to pincl
or two of good Scotch snuff; they think thi
is something to be sneezed at, and therefore
leave in disgust. -. ,
We once knew man who planted his seed
BY the hundred all over his melon patch
and gave the bugs the largest liberty OF nj
garden. He declared that he delight to wit
ness the enjoymeats of animal life, and there
fore would not kill bugs, but would rathe1
feed them. He said that more than enough
plants were left after the bugs had take'
their share, and he thought they were strong
err and healthier vines than if they wer
boxed up and busted over with such acrl'
substances as snuff, pepper, ashes, guano, &c
And besides, did not this method save hlr
great deal Of trouble?
