boiled Indian, oat or barley meal cruel, mixed
with the milk, may be substituted.
But the calf should always have enough to
satisfy its hunger, and feed regularly, as to
some time, twice day, morning and evening.
If not at time to turn to grass, and kept In
stable, a wisp of fine sweet hay should be
tied in cor1, and suspended against the
wall, or loosely laid in manger, where 1T
can nibble it. The hay will amuse the calf,
at least. and it soon learns to love it, aside
from adding much to its nourishment AS
soon as the grass is ready, it should be turned
into a small paddock to range at will. Ii
running water be not at hand, it should be
provided in tub, or trough, that constant
access may be had to it.-for your calf is great
drinker aside from it's ordinary meals of milk
or Cruel.
This process of feeding should be contin-
ued during quite four months, or longer, ac-
cording to the purpose for which it is to be
reared, with little salt, either in it's food,
or placed in trough as often once
week, to keep its bowels regular, and pro-
mote it's general health. In dairy, whey
may take the place of skinned milk, and
where whey is not made and skim milk is
scarce, after the first six weeks, flax seed Jei-
y. or Cruel porridge may be used altogether
Other substitutes may take its place, but
nothing is so natural food for the calf as
milk.-Rural american.

DO our dead Remember,
BY BERTHE LAWRENCE.

There is a land where the sunlight never
Fades from the sky through the endless day;
Where loved ones meet by the peaceful river,
And every tear shall be wiped away.
Their voices Join in the blissful singing,
And their hands DER the golden harp
strings sweep;
And into the hours their glad flight winging,
No shadow or darkness shall ever creep.
We know that land Is full of gladness,
That soft and balmy is its air,
They know no grief and they know no sadness
But oh do our dead remember there?
As they wander through the gold-paved city,
As they stand beside The crystal stream,
Do they never think with tender pity
OF those who have mingled mid life's short
dream?
Do they never think of old-time greetings,
Or miss the clasp of some vanished hand ?
Do they never long for the happy meeting
With those they have loved in the weary
land
We know their hearts grow never weary.
Nor faint beneath weight of care,
That the night comes not, nor the day grows
drearv.
But oh DO our dead remember there?
Is 1t nanght To them that our bitter wailine
Rings ont for the idols whose feet were CLAY:
Wien life is wrecked, or heart is failing
Do they pay no heed in that land of day !
Does tine mother care for the child she cher
ished
Or the child the mother beloved of old.
Or : the love Of lifetime persisted,
When they crossed the stream to the city
of gold?
We know when they crossed Deaths stormy
river.
They dropped Lies burden of pain and care
That tie = sting of death is gone forever,
But oh do our dead remember there?

Rearing Stock Calves.

The method of rearing calves depends
much on the future use to be made of them
On this subject, breeders and writers hold
different opinions, and each may be correct,
according To circumstances.
The best time for calves to be dropped,
which are intended for rearing is in the spring
Of the year Nature has taught us that and
all experience Is in its favor
The calf should after the first meal, and as
soon after birth as iuclind, suck its dam
This i Indispensable to It's health, in enabling
it to discharge the fetal nutriment remain
ing in it's stomach and bowels, and give it
strength for further action, Even when it is
intended to bring it up by hand, in feeding
from the pail three or four meals from the
udder are all the better, and it will read
ilv take the finger for feeding then, as imme-
diateIy after its first meal When the calf is
of no value and milk only is the object, two
or three days are enough for it to live, until
the milk be thsroughly fit for use. If the
cow udder be diseased by Inflammation, or
otherwise, 1t may be necessary to retain the
calf a few days longer, to draw the milk and
soften it, for no draft upon the udder is as
natural and soothing as that of the calf
REARING BY HAND. The very first thing
10 De done with calf, after it has drawn its
first few meals, Is TO put rope or strap
around its neck and tie it to a fastening,
with three or four feet play to its rope, to
let 1t know IL has master. The calf will
soon forget it, if SO kept for few days The
rearing is done in various ways, and accord
ing 10 the necessities of the keeper of the
cow, and the use of which is to be made of
the milk. The interest of the dairyman is
apt to give the calf as little food in new milk
as possible but for the benefit of the calf it
should have undiluted milk for a week or ten
days, at the shortest. After that time, the
new milk may be slackened, and skinned
milk added. Flax seed, boiled for hours, into

A KIND OF HORSES NEEDED IN AMERICA
Those who have visited Paris must have
been struck with the stoutness, steadiness and
dociity of the omnibus horses. They move
along the streets of Paris at the rate of about
eight miles an hour, equally contented. faith
full, fat and docile in all weathers and under
all circumstances. They seem to stranger
small for the load they draw, but close in
spection shows that their chests are large,
muscles well placed, and legs remarkably
short, which makes two of them look to the
non-observant incapable of drawing load of
seventeen persons inside and ten on top. They
are about fifteen hands high, usually stations,
and if not urged beyond their natural speed
eight miles per hour, will draw heavy loads
for twelve hours during the day, and keep in
good condition the whole year round. Such
a horse is very much needed in this country,
and it is to be hoped that the importations
which the subject of this article will sup
ply this want.-N. Y. Erening Post

| The Country Gentleman gives the following
account of the way in which clover is used at
the nurseries in Geneva, n. Y, a a substi-
tute for manure in preparing the soil for the
growth of trees.
The mparatively small quantity of ma
nure furnished by the village rendered the
mode of enrichng by clover an absolute
necessity, and the excellent, healthy and Wig
orous growth of the young trees proved its
great value. The crop is plowed under
when in full blossom if done sooner, there
is too much acculence and not enough sub
stance if later, the stems have become too
hard and woody, and do not become SO we'll
pulverized in decay. nor diffused through the
particles of the soil. Before blowing, the
crop is well narrowed, which not only laws
the plants fiat on the ground, but draws them
in the same direction as the course of the
pillow, allowing the sod to carry its own crest
of plants when inverted. A log chain at
tached to the forward part of the pillow, and
to the right handle, and hanging in lose
loop between these points, and dragging on
the ground, assist in completely turning I'M
der the otherwise struggling plants. 1t is
thought best not to turn them under with a
very deep furrow and rolling the burrows
Hat Immediately afterwards, prevents the
drying of the leaves and stems, and hastens
decay and lntermixture. As Young trees re-
quire good depth of soil, the sod is again
inverted with larger plow, or to a greater
depth, after the lapse of several weeks
Clover is generally too thinly seeded There
is no expenditure more economical than the
purchase of an abundant supply of clover
seed. One pack per acre is not too much
we have found half bushel to yield an in
increase worth much more than the additional
cost of the seed. But heavy seeding alone
will not answer the purpose, unless the soil
is in a proper condition.

ToK KEEP STEEL FROM Rusr1NG Steel will
not oxidize or rust in dry air, and any pro
cess or method adopted to secure this will
preserve the finest polish to the surface OF
steel or iron for long period. There is an
old plan in use, by the large Birmingham
England cutlery manufacturers, which is
not generally known, and which is easy of
practical application. Pianoforte wire and
all small bright goods. are kept in this way
secure from damage by rust. The agent used
is simply fine quick lime busted over the pol
ished surface. When articles are required
to be preserved for some length of time,
strips of paper freely covered with powdered
lime are to be wrapped around them-somc-
times cutters place the goods in case and
ELL in with powdered lime. The hygrometic
properties of quick lime secures the presence
Of dry around the polished surfaces, and
thus indirectly lime prevents steel from rust

favorable one for the accumulation of stores.
the colony will winter-kill for the lack of
food To prevent these late flights, sufficient
room for all to work should be furnished and
the necessary air supplied to keep them from
swetering and becoming uneasy because of
restricted space and want of adequate ventila-
ton. They should be aided, too, if necessary,
in the expulsion Of their parasite enemies,
thus relieving them from a species of irrita-
ton highly prejudical to their well-being by
rendering them dissatisfied with their old
home.-Rural Nelc Yorker.

The FLowER GARDEN.-During the busy
season Of the year, when the men and boys
are in the hay field, it is possible the flower
garded may be neglected unless the ladies
take hold and do the wedding. 1t is right
they should it is both pleasing and profit
able for them, much more SO than many
things that receive their attention. If it is
too hot during the middle of the day, per-
form the labor in the morning or, if no
other time can be found, do it towards night
when cool Flowers will repay us for our
trouble, for if properly cared for they lift up
their heads and open their bright, many
colored petals, and teach US many profitable
lessons. and we are led from admiration of
the beautiful things to the admiration and
praise of their and our Creator.-Zion's Her.

DRAINING.-Garden soil will ALWAYS nav
for trenching deep, even if done with the
spade; but remember to keep all the time
the good or surface soil at the top, and not
to bury it at the bottom, as we have seen
done by some gardeners. If the expense of
trenchlng the whole garden this year be too
much for the purse, then select one portion
tor this seasons improvement, and another
for next year. Clay soils ARE especially bene
flied by trenchiug, and while such soils are
not especially adapted to early crops, the
trenching will be found a great aid in the
aeration it gives toward earliness and for a
dry, hot summer clay soil trenched is SUI
perlor to any of the lighter texture.

used for food is beans. Prof Lieblg says
that pork and beans form a compound of
substances peculiarly adapted to furnish all
that is necessary to support life. A quart
of beans costs say about Is cents; halt
pound of pork 10 cents This as every
housekeeper knows, will keep small family
