ALIsMA.-Gray hairs are honorable-so we
have read and heard from boyhood days and
yet no one, man or woman, seems to desire
the honor of gray hairs. Badness. too, is the
dread of all who are threatened that way, and
every effort is resorted to, to avoid it. Seward
& Bentleyis Alisma for the hair is said to be a
capital preventive of either, and that it re-
stores the hair to healthy condition and to
its original color.

Raise the Best Calves.

A correspondent of the Germant0acn Tel
egraph contributes the following to that
paper, on raising calves:
do not propose to have all the calves
raised, but with the present high prices of
good cows, it seems injudicious to let good
heifer calves go to the butcher. / know a
twenty dollar bill is a temptation to let a
good calf go. could get that price for OF Q
now on hand at eight weeks old. l shall
not sell her. She drinks well and eats very
like an OK. bought her at four weeks
old, let her go without one meal to give
her an appetite, then carried her some new
milk in clean pail, wet my finger in the
milk, put it in her month and gradually
coaxed her head down to the milk. She
soon learned where the milk came from,
and in few days would drink as well as |
could wish. She now has what sweet
skinned milk she will drink, twice a-day.
1t is warmed nearly to blood-heat. Cold
milk is sure to give the scours to a young
calf l intend to feed her milk several
months and keep her constantly growing
and healthy. I give her lock of hay
when feed the other cattle, and give her
some exercise in the yard with the dry
cows.
have raised all my best heifer calves
for the last five years, and am getting 4
good stock of well-behaved cows, much
more quiet and orderly than those
formerly picked up in the neighborhood.
find my heifers are as large at two years
as most of those l see are at three. have
them come in at about two years. But to
have heifers that you will be proud to show
your friends, you must not let them g t
any check in their growth. 1t will not do
| to let them out to pasture to shift for them
selves in the hot suns of summer or the
cold storms of autumn. They ought to
have milk till six months old, and q little
meal may be added gradually. They ought
to learn to eat meal while young, say be-
fore they are year old, but do not be-
lieve in raising calves on a grain Or porridge
diet. Milk is their natural food, and be-
| lieve they should be raised chiefly on but
| ter-farms.

but good for the cheese dairy, it is we'll

is the part that gives the most nourishment
to man or beast.
know there is an idea quite common
among some farmers and others that skim
med milk will not fat calf. And many
experiments seem to favor the idea. But
think the failures have been owing to
feeding it carelessly; either sour, too cold
or too hot.
know my calves are in demand for veal,
and are pronounced extra, when fed on

clean dry bed; and they should be treated
kindly at all times. Then quiet, orderly
cows will be the result.-A. W. CHEEvER.

The Use of SuperphOsphates.

A correspondent of Morris "Rural Id
oertiser," who has had much experience in
the use of superphosphates, thus replies to
certain enquirers as to its use:
"The answer to thy letter has been de-
tanned little in order to learn the expert
pilates. This is one of the fertilizers use
full for grass, corn, potatoes, wheat, or any
other crop; little does good, but more
does more good. We have not yet ascer-
tanned the marimmns paying application
No injurious effects have been yet noticed
from its use, in a large way, as have been
of Lime and Guano. My own practice is
to use all can spare cash to pay for, being
careful to keep it near the surface, well
mixed with the soil, and not in contact
with strong alkales. The Superphosphate
of Lime is soluable in water, and is really
available food for plants; but if mixed with
quick Lime, it will be converted back to a
Phosphate of Lime, which is very slowly
soluaDle, and the cost of diSsolving the
bones is i'll a great measure lost; also, most
of the Superphosphates contain Salts of
Ammonia, which are valuable for starting
crops. These are deComposcd by quick
Lime, and the Ammonia wasted. One of
my neighbours has discontinued homrpa-
THE doses of Phosphate: he thinks il pays
best to apply about 1000 pounds to the
acre. He also has observed, that applied
when the soil is damp and narrowed in, it
produces the best results; and also, that
the home manufactured article is best to be
Immediately applied, and not allowed tol lay
in pile and ferment. Another neighbor
uses Superphophate tie most extensively
for potato growing. He applies from 1000
to 1900 TBS, per acre, and has raised crops
to average 200 bushels per acre of common
Mercer potatoes. He plows thoroughly,
early in season then, afterwards on part,
has at planting applied 500 lbs. in the rows
with seed, and 800 Tbs. leach per acre, in
the next adjoining burrows. He has APP
piled broadcast 1900 lbs. to the acre with
still better results. Most of our neighbors
raise their potatoes with Superphosphate.
with improved results, instead of stable
manure, as formerly. From 800 to 800 lbs.
per acre is usually applied, and that gener-
lbs. per acre is used for potatoes, there is
sufficient left in the soil for the next crop of
wheat, and the grass will show it for years"

Whipping Oxen.

1t is a cruel and generally useless act
of barbarism, says Tile People, to whip
oxen, yet many farmers are in the hapit of
continually keeping the whip a-going.-
Instead of inviting the animals to exertion
by proper words, the first intimation the
poor creatures have from their master that
he desires them to start is a cut of the whip
or prick from the goad. This is not only
savage, but absolutely wicked, and wholly
unnete 'sary. Another practice often seen
is that of pounding and threshing the oxen
because they don't readily back a load,
when they have not learned to back an
empty cart down hill. We have no doubt
that the selling value of many yoke of
oxen is deprecated from $75 to $25 by be-
ing abused in this way. If animals are to
work. they must first be taught to work,
and when they understand what is wanted
of them they will cheerfully comply. But
there is better way to communicate your
desires than through the whip. Kindness
and skilful management are far better

full to his beast. "-HearM aud Home.
