Care OF Sucking Colts.

Those who raise colts, usually ex-
erciSe care in the selection of good
stock to breed from, but many
greatly neglect to give the colts
proper attention during hot weather,
while they arc running with dams.
1t is not uncommon to see those
that were healthy and well deycl-
oped in early summer looking puny
and poor and their hair falling off
before autumn. This trouble arises
from allowing the colt to draw milk
while the blood of the mare is in a
high state of heat from violent ex-
ertion.
When the dam is used in hot
weather on the farm or road, so as
to heat her blood, the colt should
never be allowed to suck until she
has fully cooled off. Let him fill
himself before the mother is put in
the harness, and if important that
he should accompany the dam, tie
him at her side, so that lie will be
unable to draw milk until he is lib
Grated; for it is much better that
he should go hungry few hours
than to take his food while it is in
a fevercd state.
1t the mare makes long distance
and returns at night, it is better to
leave the colt at home and draw the
milk from the uddcr with the hand
once or twice during the day, and
upon returning then allow the colt
to fill himself gradually as the milk
liz secreted.
Colts injured from heated milk
seldom recover from it for 4 year or
two, and many times never. They
become reduced in flesh, get lousy
in the fall, and during the first win
ter of their existence, when they
need health and strength, as under
any circumstances it is the most
critical period of their growth, they
have life just enough to enable them
to move, and the second summer,
the proper time for development, is
spent in the recupcration Of lost Vi
tality.-Xorsena0n's NunuuI.

The Latest Steam Flowing Machine

1t is two hundred and fifty-three
years since there was filed, in the
patent archives Of England, the
first hint of a steam pillow, for it is
scarcely possible that any other
power than that of steam could have
been referred to in the mention of
"prottable invencions to ploughe
grounde without horse or oxen,"
and ''to make boates for the carry
age of burthens and passengers rum
upon the water as swift in Gaines
and more satf in stormes than boates
full saylcd in create wynes." No
specification was enrolled, but it is
likely that the scheme was wholly
impracticable. 1t contained, how
ever, the germ Of inventions des-
tined to success in after times, and
in this respect was superior to scores
of plans having the same object,
that have been brought out within
the past few years. Indeed, it
seems as if there would be no end
w Sul louS dcN ICcS 1OI pioN
ing, even when, as is now the case
i'll Great Britain, a practical system
has met with eminent success. An
illustration of this is found in our
latest file of the Engineer. a cor
respondent of that journal gravcly
argues in favor Of permanent sleep
ers provided at either end of a
field, and on which he proposes to
place the ends of railway track
running across the field in a direc-
ton at right angles with the sleep
ers. A locomotive running on these
rails would draw the gang Of plows
behind it, and on reaching the end
of the field, the rails, locomotive and
plows would be moved literally up
on the land side to bring the whole
in position for blowing another set
Of burrows, with the engine moving
in an opposite direction. The pro-
jcctor is sanguine enough to believe
that "plowing, reaping, nay, even
the watering of crops by this means
need be no great representatives.

An Improvement in Setting Milk.

The following account Of an i'm
proved method Of setting milk is
communicated by correspondent
to the Country Gentleman:;
have adopted new plan of set
ting milk for butter, which ! think
is a very great Improvement on the
old method, and one which, | think,
as it comes to be better known will
be in general use. The method is
this:
Each milking is put into a single
tin vat, made Of the heaviest cross
tin. The watts are % by 40 inches
and IA inches deep, with / inch
wire around the top, and handles at
each end.
These watts set into water-tight
wooden boxes, with an inch space
on bottom and three inches on the
sides for cold water.
l use water from a we'll at q tenn
perature of AS .. If one has run
ming water it would save labor.
Five watts are necessary, and with
this number milk can be kept 4s
hours and have one vat ahead ready
for use, or 60 hours if skinned Just
before using. The wooden boxes
are of clear inch pine, painted in
side and out, the vat painted on
the outside. l am milking 90 cows
and heilers, and find that these sell
dom fill the watts eight inches deep;
so | conclude that watts the size of
mine would do for 80 COW dairy,
as | have learned that cream will
rise as well when the milk is 10 to
Is inches deep, if kept at the right
temperature. My tin watts cost
$3.50 each, my wooden ones SO; to-
tai cost including painting and
metal faucets for drawing off the
water. not quite $40.
| Now for the advantages: 1t is
much easier straining the milk; is
not over one-third the labor to skim
and wash the vats; the butter is of
better quality Il have not seen a
''whitc cup" thus far); and when
the murcury is up among the nine
ties, as it was for weeks together
last season, more butter can be
made. On this later point l cannot
yet speak definitely, but if l only
make as much as by the old method
shall be well satisfied. 1t pleases
the women There is not stack of
80 to SO rafting tin pans to be
skinned, washed, scaldcd, aired,
but Il single pan which can be
SKINNED, emptied and ready for
use in 20 minutes.
In this neighborhood there are
four dairymen owning 100 cows,
using these watts, and others will do
so next season. There is no patent
no farm rights to be paid for
and all who choose can use them.

The San Francisco Examiner con-
tains a very sensible review of the
political situation of California which
in these days of empty boasting and
detraction is of value in making an
estimate Of the result in September.
lit states some facts which are very
pertinent. For instances: 1.-THE Radi-
cal calculators admit that they cannot
elect Booth unless he can carry the
city by three thousand majority. And,
notwithstanding this, they profess to
be sanguine as to the result. So wild
and absurd a calculation can only
bring a smile to the face of any we'll
Uniformed man.. At the last Presiden-
tial election, when Grant was at the
hight of his popularity and polled five
thousand mor votes in the State than
any other Republican could have
polled, Seymour and Blair carried the
city by fourteen hundred majority.
AT the same election AXtell beat Pixlev
by about nineteen hundred votes. At
the last Legislative election the ma
jority on the average was fifteen hun
dred, although we had by no means a
strong ticket. Wand and Beige. Sen
ators, were returned by majOrities eX-
ceeding three thousand. The last
municipal, election afforded no test,
for although we succeeded in electing
several OF our leading nominees, the
ticket was so weighed down by dead
weights, and had so much of public
prejudice to contend with, because of
the questionable character of the ma
terial which put it in the field, the re-
result by no means indicated the
strength of the party"
The Examiner has no doubt of the
Democratic preponderance in the city
of San Francisco, and that with a good
municipal ticket the entire Demo
cratic State ticket will succeed bv a
handsome majority. As for the ele-
CANT claim of the Republicans that
wv "a - thC hiS-CIH WV ~ bultH
there will be about 800 negro votes.
and no more German Radical votes
than Grant received. As tor the in
terror, with the exception of Sacra-
mento and perhaps San Joaquin coun
ties, Haight's majorities will nowhere
fal! short Of what they were at the last
~, or, -, -l..-~
the people have faith in his incorrupt-
IDLE integrity and answering fidelity
to their interests, and thousands of
Republicans will give him their sup
port. Indeed, we do not believe there
are five counties in the State which
will vote against Haight; and we
should not be surprised if he obtained
a majority i'll every one of them"
