Treatment Of Calves.

Wean them when they are four or five
days old; the milk Of the mother is then fit
for use, and they will wean off easier. They
do not keep up those disagrecable blcatings
as when they are left older, bat resign them
selves to their new regimen with content.
Take vessel and put in it couple o:
quarts Of milk that is not coaguated: in
fact it should be quite new milk, the first
two or three times. and warmed. and as they
naturally seek for the teat when their nose
is put into the vessel, the finger of the attcn-
dant may be put into their mouth. and this
will Sc: them going IN the art of artificial
sucking. Better just use the index finger
only.
They will soon now begin to pick hay and
grass, and if started late in the fall or winter,
they ought to have good meadow or clovor
hay-the seeds and heads of the latter
especially. They need also change from
dry feed to roots and bran, as an aperient.-
If started in the spring they will get along
without much attention till fall, when they
need besides hay, &c, the changs that have
mentioned. This is indispensable. 1t will
show itself in the thrift of the young animal
and in the next years growth Ruta bagas
and tnlniPs are excellent, but bran will
always supply their places, after your store

They ought to be in an enclosure by them.
selves the first year, and have access to
plenty of water. shade and salt
Better not start them in the hot season, IN
fly time: they seldom do well. The flies
annoy them. Ger. Telegraph.

Passing Away.

How visb|y on every thing that has life is
written this single sentence Passing Away.
How strongly it is impressed on our minds
when we behold all nature blooming one day
and fading, as it We're, the next. The flowers
spring up around us, they bloom for short
time, and they are cut down; the north winds
nip the beautiful buds that would have
expanded into still more beautiful flowers
and they wither, droop and die they too.
Pass Away. The trees Of the forest put forth
their buds and are decked with a tender
foliage OF green but the frosts redden the
leaves, and the signing winds of Autumn that
sweep through the branches, sing the same
solemn dirge-Passing Away.
The decay Of the lovely things of nature
tells us that we too, like they, are Passing
Away. This brings to our minds the solemn
thonght-whence are We passing? We know
that in accordance with the laws ofnature, the
flowers tina. withcr, and the leaves that fade
will return again; although the same flowers
and leaves that fade will not bloom again, the
roots and branches still remain to be again
deckcd by nature. The flowers will spring
up after they have buried their beautiful heads
under the SHOWS of Winter, and the leaves
will again deck the naked branches of the
trees with their foliage of green. But shall
man, immortal man, return again as do these?
All. no! "for it is appointed unto man once
to die and after death the Judgment )" and in
consideration Of this awful truth how should
we spend the precious time allotted us =
Should we spend it in trifing and foolish
amusements, when we know that We are soon
to pass away, and to be forgotten7 Instead
of spending it so We should be trying to make
such improvement of those precious moments,
so that when the evening of life shall
have come and we shall be called upon
to pass away, we may be able to gain {" that
inheritance which fadeth not away"

Coal Oil.-Its Remedial Qualities.

For all skin diseases and acute affections,
such as rheumatisms, neuralgia, tooth-achc,
sprains, stiffness of the joints, sore throat,
Group, &c, &C., this oil is said to be an eff
cient cure. A writer in the West recon-
mcnds it as u remedy for nearly all the mala-
dies that our mortality inherits. If less virtue
was claimed for it, people would be more
disguised to test its merits. did not intend
to say anything publicly about it until its
qualities were proven; but the want of oppor-
tnnity to try it thoroughly has suggested the
idea of asking each OF your readers to join me
in examining its medicinal properties. If it
should prove no better. its cheapness would
give it preference Of all the various electric
oils, liniments, ontmcnts and reliefs which
are so profusely advertised by handblls and
papers. 1t has cured very sore throat,
given temporary relicfto infammatory pains,
and partially removed stiffness of the neck
This is the extent to which have observed
its effects. For badness, they say it is a
complete antidote, bringing out the hair
wherever it has previously grown, and giving
the new and old its natural color.
1t would not be safe to apply it internally,
but outwardly it acts as counter irrltant,
and will not blister. 1t acts somewhat like
croton oil. but has not so much power, and is
much more penetrating. This last quality
makes it valuable for cleaning old paint
brushes, taking the rust off various tools. &c.
Again, tablespoonful mixed with quart
of ashes or charcoal, is said to be a preventive
against the striped bug, if applied to potato,
squash, cucumber or other vines.
Its value tor burning is well established
Try tt, and report your experience.

The Voice of Cecil County in
the Present Crisis.

Weak. indeed must seem the voice Of n
small county in small State of this vast,
vast Union. Yet strong enough it is to pro-
claim the bliss she has enjoyed under the
Star Spangled Banner. Humble as the posi-
ton Of Cecil County is within the gigantic
commonwealth of the United States. yet deep
enough is her gratitude for Washington 5
inheritance, that she cannot. will not remain
silent and stand aloof in the dangerous hour
of her stricken mother nation. that she should
shrink back from the defence of her flag -
Standing upon the very edge Of that txecra-
ted line, which drawn across our once happily
uaited land has severed the hearts of sister
States, Cecil county is free from that frantic
rage which hurls abusive terms either North
or South. She still acknowledges the ties Of
brotherhood even now on both sides of that
mlschievous Mason $ and DiXon's line but
dseply mourning she sees our Southern breth-
ern IN misguided tanaticiSm raise their hands
against their fatherland she secs them in
their mad rebellion Fastening destruction and
ruin upon themselves, their parents and their
fIetherm. Already she sees the death bring

Root Crops.

The main crops of these, whether Beets
Parsnips or Carrots. should now be planted
The Sugar Beet and slangol Wurlzel arc
the most easily raised and most productive
of these crops. but all are valuable for cows,
sheep and hogs, and the Carrots for horses
They require good soil, abundant manure,
If maximum crops are expected. We are
very partial to the Sugar Beet for mich
cows. They can be sown early, they bear
transpan!ing to fill vacancies. they are a
cleansing crop, they keep well till the month
Of Msy. they are good for all kinds of stock,
but for mich cows especially and are best
fed raw. and they yield very largely. AN
acre that will yield hundrd bushels Of
potatoes. will give fou, to five hundred of
bets. with no risk Of losing the whole, as
with the potato, by ret.

Shearing Sheep.

rev know how to shear sheep properly
The following hints will be useful:
First-In shearing time. do not pen your
sheep more than half day at time. To
do SO makes them weak, irritable and diff.
cult to shear
Secnnd-I think the best plan to shear is
on platform sixteen or eighteen inches
high. The sheep should sit on the table, and
rest its back and head on the left leg. the
left leg is on the table. the right one on the
floor. Commence cutting the wool at the
brlsket. shearing along the belly, letting the
wool roll to he left, where it will be ont of
the way. When this IS done. shear the
flank, then commencing at the point Of the
shoulder and run the shears to the right ear
shear the neck to the left ear, and the left
side as far as the back bone. Now change
sides with the sheep. standing the right foot
on the table. and finish the neck. Now
shear the right side. finishing on the right
hind leg. In this way. the fleece is kept
whole; the sheep is turned but little. thus
avoiding struggling, tearing Of fleece and
injury to the animal.
Within the las: eight years, have sheared
live thousand sheep. without having a fleece
kicked to pieces, and seldom cut sheep
there is no excuse for cutting fat sheep
When badly cut. they will always kick. and
then the shearer will pound them with his
shears or fist. The kinder you treat sheep.
the better they behave. Many wool growers
want their sheep sheared very close to the
hide, but this is not well for the sheen nor
for the next growth of wool. When sheared
close, the hot SIM Injuries them materially.

cry to serve their own reasonable ends, and
then. to save their necks from the halter
they 60 as her representatives. and whine like
very spaniels for pardon Let the loyal men
of Maryland and Baltimore do their duty
Let them show their loyalty by building of
the bridges. opening the roads, allowing the
Government troops to pass, and, if necessary,
protecting them on their way let these
traitors be made to quail not before armed
mobs but before enlightened public opinion
and the strong arm of the law. Thus she
will obtain not only protection but respect

The Last Good Night.

Close her eyclids-press them gently
Der the dead and lcadcn eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely,
Hath returned unto the skies;
Wipe the death-drops from her forehead
Sever one dear golden treSs,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the little snowy dress;
Scatter fi"wreis DER her pillow
Gentle flowers, so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom,
There-now softly say, Goodnight.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet We would not call her back,
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread LIES rough and thornv track;
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure,
We are glad He did not leave her
All LIES trials to endure;
We are glad-and yet the tear drop
Falleth; for alas ! we know
That our tireside will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling SO.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel
Little arms, all white and dinlpled,
Round our neck So softly steal;
Our wet cheek will miss the pressure
OF sweet lips so warm and red,
And our bosom sadly. sadly
Miss that darling little head
Which was Wont to rest there swectly;
Aud those golden eyes so bright,
We shall miss their loving chances.
We Shall miss their soft Good. night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They will bear it to the church-yard,
And consign it to the worm;
Well-what matter! 1t is only
The clay-drcss our darling wore;
God hath robed her as angel,
She hath need OF this no more;
Fold her hands, and DER her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss the marble brow, and whisper,
Once again, last Goodnight.
