Use judgement IN selecting such heif-
or calves as are to be reared. Select
only those whose mothers are good milk
ers, and whose sires have come from
good milking stock; at the same tune,
the calf itself should have those charac-
teristics that Indicate an aptitude to
devclope good milking qualities, viz
small; fiuc head rather long in the muz-
gle bright eyes. thin, tapering neck
small, wcll-shaped legs, Ions body. large
headquarters, set wide behind. soft skin
fnc hair-the color of which is inmate
rial-ani above all. the milk mirror. or
udder veins, should be large and we'll
developed.
The raising of bull calves for breeders
had better be left to those who have time
and means to devote their attention to it,
and procure the best animals TO begin
with. II would be no loss to the country
were tho numerous specimens Of scrubs
bulls, too often seen. condemned to per
petual exile
But there is no reason Why portion
Of the male calves. s. least. should not
be reared as buliocks, either for theteam
or for the butcher; and it is important
that such rs are reserved for this pur.
pose. should possess certain points indi-
cative of future excellence, viz: well
shaped head. small ears. short, thick
neck, deep brisket. broad chest and
shoulders. fine bone, long body, well
rounded behind the shoulders, straight
back, wide loins. full quarters, tail thin
and tapering, skin soft and not too thin.
1t is too often the case. that animals
are selected for rearing from their being
of pretty color, that takes the the fancy
of some member of the family: or the
calf of some pet COW of the dairy maid
without attention being paid to ITS de-
fects or exccllencies. Not unirequently,
valuable calves are fattened for veal,
simply because their color is unp!easing
to the eye. -Ex.

SCARCITY OF EMPLoYMENr.-ln our sister

is a great scarcity of employment among
the mechanical branches. There are great
MANY mechanics especially house carpenters,
engaged IN the not very lucrative bust
mass of "loating." Uncle Sans establishment
the Navy Yards doing very dull bust
ness, and there is scarcely any building being
done outside. The prospect, however, Is
said to be fine for the Spring. Various i'm
proyements are in contemplation, and we
hear that the new Baptist Church to be
erected by the Court Street Church for its
colored membership, is to be commenced as
early as possible in the Spring. There are
Numerous lots in different parts of the city
which we think might very protitably be
built upon. Why don't some capitalist, pos
sessed OF an enterprsing spirit, with little
Yankee go-a-head "a. tiveness, embark In the
good work OF rendering these vacant lots of
some service2 Many of these lots are stu
ated in the very heart of the city, on some
one OF which we would like to see erected an
Exhibition Hall like unto Johnson's Assem-.

Fairs, etc., etc. We believe such an enter.
prise would pay handsomely. Who'll com
