Management of Calves in Fall and Winter.

Mr. MINER There is one thing of great
Importance, that is frequently lost sight OF,
or rather neglected, by farmers in general
that is, the proper care and manage
ment of calves, through the fall and win
ter months. The general practice, after
weaving a calf, is to let it shift for itself
until snow falls, then to put it into yard,
or an open ed, and let it pass the winter,
and if it lives, all right, and if it dies, it is
generally said, that is my luck, l never
could raise a calf" Now, such treatment
is not only wrong, but very Improbable, to
say the least of it. After weaving your
calves, put them where they can have good
feed and pure water Keep them thriving,
if you have to feed them small quantity
Of shorts or ground feed daily. The better
the condition you can get them in before
winter, the easier you will keep them in
good order. Have a good warm stable for
them, feed them all the good hay they can
eat, and do not forget to give them daily
allowance of grain. One pint of ground
feed, to each calf, will pay a large profit OH
the investment made. Keep them clean,
free from all vermin, for you will find it far
cheaper to winter calf that is clear of lice,
than one that is infected with them There
are always master calves in every lot,--sep-
arate them from the flock by themselves,
then the weaker ones will have a fair chance
for themselves Clean the calf stable, and
keep it well Uttered with straw and do
not let the manure and litter accumulate,
until it is a good days work to clean it out,
as it engenders disease. It is better to
give them warm drink daily--the slops
from the house,-such as the dish water, the
water wherein meats aud vegetables have
been boiled They like it, and will do well
on it, and it is far better for them than to
let them go to the brook to drink cold wa,
ter, and then stand and shiver fer hours
My views may differ from others in the
management of calves through the winter,
and | should like to have the opinions of
those that are better versed in the subject
so, gentlemen, readers of the Rural, let us
have your experience and views. 5. F. C. IN

The Diseases of Trees.

1t is with not little surprise that we
look upon the number of letters inqulrlng
about diseased trees, that have accumula-
ted upon our hands. 1t is the opprobrium
of scientifi; horticulture that SO little has
been done to investigate the subject of
plant diseases. We have read about all
that has been written on the subject have
talked with the most experienced promo
logists East and West, and find that there
is really little positive information extant
All admit the existence of certain maladles,
and attempts have been made to enumerate
them A recent work on horticulture gives
us Latin names for these tree troubles !;
though it may crafty the inquiring mind
to know that freezing is c0ngetdt1O, and that
decay is cdrieS-we are unable to see that
it adds much to our knowledge. Among
the causes assigned for the unhealthy con-
dition of our trees, some are sensible and
others absurd 1t is a very common thing
for the would be scientific, to attribute phe-
nomena they cannot explain to electricity
and this agent has been the refuge OF sew
eral of those who have written upon the
diseases of plants. We have one letter be-
fore us from photographer-who, taking
a Photographic view of the SUBJECTS quite
sure that the pear blight is due to the ef-
feet of the sudden light of flashes Of light
ming in dark night-th, ugh he fails to
tell US why this affects one tree, and leaves
another of the same variety next to it, IN
touched. In discussing this subject, we
must recollect that all fruit trees are, in a
measure, unhealthy that the larger or finer
our apples and pears, the more they have
departed from the natural condition. This
being the case, we ought not to look for
perfect health in every cultivated variety.
AS to our ability to cure diseased trees by
any medication, we doubt if it will ever be
attained. To many who writes US with the
view that we can prescribe something to
cure their trees, we must confess our ma
bility to do so. If good feeding will not
help them, together with drainage, we fear
that the case is hopeless. Want of vigor
or health is often due to lack of alkaline
matter in the soil, and benefit is often eXpe-
rienced from free use of lime or ashes
but this is fertilization and not medication.
Some of the most serious troubles, such as
bark bursting and cracking, are due to
changes of temperature beyond our control.
The selection of varieties that mature their
wood early, and the use of low headed trees,
rather than those with long and naked
stems, are the best preventatives against
these troubles AS to the leaf blight, that
as yet remains mystery. Until its real
nature is understood we must act empi-
rically, and cut severely whenever it ap-
pears, even if it takes the tree down to the
ground Our pomological societies have, as
a general thing, given too much attention
to the quality of fruit, to the neglest of the
character of the tree. Of late years there
has been an improvement in this respect
We have good fruits enough, now let Us go
in for healthy trees.-Anlerican Agricutt.v-
iSt.

Orchard and Nursery.

In December there is little to add to the
notes for November. Whenever the wealth
cr will allow the work there indicates to be
done, do it. In mild seasons, or in South
ern localities, ground for the orchard may
he plowed and subsoiled. If nothing can
be done to facilitate spring operations, see
that no harm comes to trees already plan
ted.
Fences and Gates must be looked after ,and
put in condition to keep domestic animals
browse or bark the trees, and do more dam
age in few hours than will be regained in
all of next years growth.
Rabbits and nice, among wild animals, Of
ten do serious damage. The best way to
keep off rabbits is, to sprinkle blood upon
the trees Leave no rubbish near young
trees to harbor mice, and trample snow
down so hard that they can not work under
it.
Ciols may be cut whenever the wood is
not frozen. Saw-dust or damp moss are
better packing than sand, for the reason
that they come out free from grit The OBJ
iect should be 10 preserve the natural mois-
ture, and not keep them any damper or dry
er than they would be if left upon the tree.
Nursery the heading back and shaping
of young trees is carried on in mild wealth
er, and when the weather is inclement, the
hands are occupied indoors in root grating.
In grating, too much care cannot be exer-
ciSed and it is well to work at only one va
riety at time to avoid all possibility of
mixing kinds. See that surface drains are
opened to carry water away from young
trees, and that no water stands around
stocks that have been heeled-in
THREE things that never agree-two cats
over one mouse, two wives in one house and two
lovers after one young lady

THs LATE STORM appears to have extended
over the whole coast. In California, at date
corresponding to our snow storm, they were Wis
tied by continuous rains which had deluged the
whole country. At Marysville the water was
within few inches Of the high-water mark of
81, and great damage to property was appre-
hended. East of us, as far as Salt Lake along
the whole line of travel, we hear of heavy snow
falls and intensely cold weather. Parties who
are familiar with the country, say that they have
never before known so much snow in the noun
tains, and should there be the usual fall-of snow
in the months of January and February, we may
calculate upon another grand flooding out along
the line of the Columbia River.

A COUNTRY FOR Poor MEN.-In this
country no man willing to work need want for
money. And no one need come here who is
not willing to work. Any one emigrating
with the idea that be will be able to pick up
gold from, the streets will soon 6nd out bis
mistake, If be leaves home for wSrk he will
find it here, if he has not the whereWithal to
exist without it. New countries are prover>
bially the couptries for bone and muscle,
with fair share Of brains, but unlike older
lands they hold out some hope to poor man
that he shall not always toll during his pas.
sage to the grave, but that his industry will
at length be crowned with a reward he
could not reasonably expect to receive at
home. There his life must be an unceasiug
round of labor and dependence, with the
Workhouse and starvation now and then star
ing him in the face, and with the miserable
consciousness that his children stand little
chance of doing better than himself Here,
however, there is no man, no matter how
humble his occupation may be, that may
nOtin few years obtain to compenteuce.
1t may be he will see reverses few arc free
from them. 1t may be he will be compelled
to labor with the pick aud shovel, or split
rails for while, but what of thatl many a
man in America and Europe, now occupying
lofty position, has had to do the same
thing and IS none the worse for it.
