FEEDING CALVES.

A friend of ours who has great success
in raising calves on skinned milk and
corn pudding" says the Genesee Far
nler, adopts the following method
He never lets the calf suck the COW,
but teaches it to drink out Of pail
When the calf Is three or four days old,
he takes about teacup full Of corn meal
and pours pint Of hot water over TO-
stirs 1t up and has 1t scalded for few
minutes. He then pOurs on three or four
quarts Of skinned milk, or as much as
The calf will drink. In the meantime he
has had a piece of iron heating in the
stove When red hot he stirs the milk
with it. This ''scorehIng" the milk he
considers of the greatest Importance
when calves are fed on skinned milk. 1t
prevents it from the securing the calves.
As the calf grows older he increases the
quantity of corn meal The skinned
milk at first is only twelve hours from
milking but when the calf is older, the
milk may be allowed to stand twenty
four or thirty hours before it is skinned.
Farmer and Mechanic.
We have raised several calves In this
mode-all but the hot iron-and can see
no necessity of wasting any part of the
butter or cheese Of the milk upon a calf.
We have had no trouble with the "scOurs"
by this mode, aud every one -four calves
have grown aud looked as wei as II 1t
had run with its mother. They have
greedily devoured not merely skim milk,
out sour milk and buttermilk, with the
meal pudding, and often with the un-
cooked meal, or shorts. We have made
capital young beef in this way By a little
extra feeding of pumpkins and soft corn
10 the fall. The experiment has convin-
ced US that this process furnishes moro of
nice young beef In eight months from the
birth oft6e calf, than the same expense
of food would ofpork, and Of course it is
more satisfactory to eat 1t.
Ofcourse, in this, as in everything else,
a little gumption is necessary. The young
calf should not be put upon this regimen
atonce, but brought to itgradually, so that
in ten days it will live exclusively upon
this bill of fare. At first give milk fresh
from the COW, then half and half new
and skim, and finally all skim with meal.
Introduce the buttermilk gradually also,
and soon it will take clear buttermilk and
also any slop that pig will drink
change.

A. 81. WRENN, a veteran in Sorghum
culture, in communication to the Mt
Gilead Sentinel, gives the following ac
count Of what he witnessed in the way Of
making sugar from sorghum during
recent visit to Muskingum county:

a plain practical man. Thousands OF
dollars have been spent IN experlmen
reams of paper have been wasted IN writ

at is said seeing is believing. 1 saw
on Mr.. Welier's premises some three thou
sand pounds of sugar suitable for market,
dry and well granulated, apparently free
from any gulcose or feculent matter and
nice enough for any lady or gentleman.
[ was informed that the above amount
was not more than half what he has
manufactured since last fall.
Il have my doubts if any Louisiana or
Cuba planter ever produced as many
patches in succession, of as good an arti-
Gle of sugar, and from as many different
lots of cane, as I saw at Mr. Wellers. l
also saw some small lots under process of
drainage, &c.

about winding up the last years crop, 1

the Dsodlts operandj of the matter I am
informed that the process Is entirely
mechanical, that no drugs or chemicals
are used.
II would advise those who are incredu-
lous to visit Mr.. Weller's and if they
want to learn the art, and will remain a
reasonable time with him, he will put
them on the track A good feature Of it
is that with any good Evaporator, success
will crown the effort.
