Lean Calves make Mean Cattle.

Calves and yearlings are often fed upon
the coarsest fodder, and needlesjly exposed
to the weather. They are brought in late
from the pasture, several weeks after they
have ceased to thrive, and are kept upon poor
fare, all through the Winter The apology
for this u.s. that the farm produces certain
amount of poor hay, which must be used up,
and the young cattle eat it better than the
older ones, and are therefore kept upon it,
This is destructive Of the best interests of the
farmer for it is all the while undermining
tho constitution of his stock, thus preventing
their future thrifty growth.
1t is highly important to remember that
the constitution of horse or COW is deter
mined 10 the first three or four years of lie.
1t is particularly liable to injury in the early
stages of its growth, and if stunted there, it
never attains full development. The far
mer lays the foundation Of the future charac-
ter of the animal at this early age, making
the most of tho good qualities it inherits
from his parents, or aggravating the bad ones.
He is as really builder in the feeding of an
animal, as thelman who rears house The
young animal wants good rich food the best
which the farm produces, particularly that
which abounds in the raw material for max
ing muscle and bone, that it may perfectly
elaborate the osseous structure, and clothe it
with flesh. If farmer wants the best oxen,
the best mixers, the fastest roadstcrs, that
can be made out of his stock, he must give
them fair chance in the first ard second
Winter.
1t does not look reasonable that bog hay,
and moldy, damaged corn stalks or hay, will
make strong bones, or cover them well with
muscle. Many man has tried the expert
ment, and the result has been uniformly I'M
successful. The abused animals always come
out in the Spring looking thin and cadaver.
GUS, every bristling hair and projecting bone
uttering its remonstrance against the mis-
guided owner. Even bulls that are to per-
petuate the herd, are frequently kept in this
half starved condition with the other young
cattle, and are put to use before they are half
grown. What can man expect with such
management of his stock, but miserable runts
that cumber rather than adorn his farm. Let
the colts, calves, and yearlings have the best
of hay, and the careful attention Of the own
er through the foddering season, if horses of
good speed and bottom, good mixers, and
strong oxen are wanted. Bog hay should be
held at discount.

Let Young Plants have an Early and Wig
orOuS Start

This is important in order to secure early
maturity and maximum yield, both with
field and garden crops: for plants are in this
respect somewhat like animals, which, if
stunted in their growth, never do as well
afterwards as those which are we'll fed, nurs-
ed and cared for. Of our common field crops
there are two, corn and potatoes, which
should receive especial care to promote an
early and vigorous start, inasmuch as we may
thereby secure, not only larger yield, but
an earlier ripening, SO as to get the corn out
of the way of injury from early frcsts, and
the potatoes out Of the way OF injury from
the thunder showers Of August and the dog
days.
We do not suppose that any one needs to
be convinced of the fact, that prompt ger
mination of the seed, and vigorous growth in
plants while yet young, tend to insure great
er vigor in their growth afterwards, earlier
maturity, and more abundant yield. Proof
Of this fact must have been noticed, both in
field and garden, by every observing tiller OF
the soil. Those who have not witnessed the
beneficial effects of good nursing Of young
plants have probably seen to their sorrow
the injurious effects of poor asmrsimg. 1t is
not, therefore, proof of this fact which far
mers need, but to be reminded of it, and of
the Importance to their own interests, of
making apractical application of it.
Let the plants in field and garden, then,
receive the benefit, now in their first feeble
efforts to grow, of practical application of
the truth or fact referred to. The weeds
should be kept under, the soil should be kept
loose by frequent stirring, and fertilizers put
around young plants.

BARLEY.-It is stated that the first barley
sown in this country was upon the Island of
Martha's Vineyard, in 1922, by man nam
ed Gosnold, who introduced this and other
varieties of grain from England into Massa-
chusetts. In 1911 barley was sown as a
crop in Virginia, and continued TO be cuti-
waited there until the settlers found tobacco
more romunerative. In 1926, barley was
one of the crops grown upon the farms of
Manhattan Island probably where Trinity
Church now stands In 1849, the barley
crop of the United States was 5,l6S,0OO
bushels; and according to the present decade,
the crop of 1856 would be over seven millions
of bushels. 1t probably even exceeded this.
The grain is nearly all consumed in the
States where it is grown, principally, we pre-
sumo, for mailing, as the price is too high for
feeding stock.

INDIAN B1scUITs.-Take one quart of cold
Indian mush, or hasty pudding; put it into
pan containing about the same quantity OF
either coarse or fine wheat -four, add milk or
sweet cream enough 10 make the mush thin,
say one~half pint; then mix in the -four and
make up into biscuits as soft as you can well
handle them; bake in a quick oven over
twenty minutes. Cold boiled hominy with
-four alon mixed and made into biscuits
makes nice breakfast cakes.

TREE LABELs.-Take for the label small
slips of zinc, write the names upon them with
a black lead pencil, then fastcn them to the
tree with a copper wire. Care should be ia
ken to allow space enough in the loop for the
tree to grow. Labels made on this plan will
last for years, and the names will be plainly
readable.
