Take Care Of the Calves.

The Ohio Farmer gives the following
food advice: Much of the future
growth, and in fact much of the profits
of the farmer arising from his stock,
depends upon the care which it re-
ceives during the first year. do not
wish to be understood by this that if a
farmer takes good care of his stock the
first year, he can afterward let them
run "har- hazard :" every good farmer
will see that his stock ut Ill times is
we'll cared for. But the first year is
the foundation, it is the starting point
of their future growth. There are
many farmers who are in the habit OF
giving their calves nothing but whey
from the time they are about three
weeks old until they are weaned. They
are then left to run and pick their liv.
ing as best they may until winter, when
they are taken to the barn and put into
some little back hovel, with nothing
but hay till spring, or, as have often
seen, turned in to q stack. In either
case they are, when spring comes. SO
stunted and poor that they make but a
slow growth ever afterward. Conse.
quently, when selling time comes. tn
farmer finds his stock far behind in
size and price of the neighbours who
had cared we'll for their calves. One
instance of this came within my
knowledge. Some steers, raised as
above. sold for SIS, while those of his
neighbor, which had been we'll cared
for while young, sold readily at $25.
The quality of the stock of the former
was fully equal to the latter to start
with.

Liver COMPLAINT, LIVER DISEASE, l.
E. B1L1oUsNEss. Bilious complaints
by some termed liver disease ARE very
common in this country. The ordin-
airy indications, such az yellowness of
the skin and whites of the eyes, pain
in the right side under the inferior ribs,
with sometimes difficulty of respiration
and troublesome cough-are familiar
to host of sufferers; but the liver,
sometimes, is in very unsatisfactory
state without the presence of such
symptoms. When we reflect that the
liver is the largest gland of the body,
that it secretes the bile which lubri-
Gates the bowels and keeps them in or.
der, is the great blood purifier or
cleansing machine of our systems. it
may truly be called the Hoxsekeeper
Of our Health. Sudden transitions of
climatic temperature, or impure air,
or so0ter are disturbing elements which
arrest the functions of the liver, and
render it torpid, producing d;orrh1a,
dyseatery, bilious rensittents, inter-
naittent tevcrs, and a general prostra-
ton, and unhealthy state of the whole
organization.
1t is not surprising that q medicine
which can restore the healthy opera
tions of the liver, should command
general attention. Such medicine is

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hog Cholera.

DR.. Horne, the veterinary editor of
the Western Farmer, Madison, Wis,
recommends the following treatment
for cholera: Remove them Mt once to
fresh quarters, where they will be warm
and dry, with plenty of pure, fresh air.
Separate them ; give plenty Of clean
straw; procure some good hard wood
charcoal, pulveriEe it, sprinkle the
building with it pretty thick, say one
half pound to each hog. Sprinkle the
hog also. Be sure and keep clean.
Procure the following: Anthracite
coal, four parts; best ginger, one part;
sulphur, ono part; salt, one part;
phosphate lime, one part. Pulverize
thoroughly, mix. and give two ounces
every morning in little oatmeal or
other feed. If the hog refuses to eat,
mix with sufficient cows milk and
drench him. Procure Tilden & Co. s
bromo chloralum, to be had of your
druggists mix with four parts water
and wash the bottom of tumors, and all
the tender places about tho hog. Let
them run out through the day in mod
crate weather.

Curious Phenomenon in Morocco.

It is we'll known that there exist no

Some English Lawyers OF Mark.

Some English Lawyers Of Mark.
There are many lawyers of mark
among the minor celebrities of the
House of Commons. The name of Mr..
Vernon Harcourt-the Historicus"
of the London Times-is a man of
forty-fve, tall, loud-voiced, sell. assert
ing, brassy in manner; a master of
vigorous commonplaces, fearless in the
complacent production of the oldest
jests and the most hackneyed quota
tions; parsonage who gets credit for
great ability, partly by means of an
imposing manner and an unbounded
confidence. A very rising man is Mr..
Henry James, q man whose intellect
has peculiarly fine edge to it, whose
speeches are as delicate in style as they
are keen, reminding one somewhat of q
Damascus blade. Mr.. James made
probably the most telling speech de-
livered in the House of Commons last
session. I doubt, however, whether
he has the breadth and robustness to
make q political leader. So he will
probably become law officer one of
these days, and then vanish out of poll
tics and ascend the judicial bench. I
ought to say word about the Irish
Attorney General, MI. DEVISE, the most
successful buffo member of the House
of Commons, whose broad humor
has left Bernal Osborne nowhere, and
who can make even Disraeli laugh. He
will be a Judge, perhaps, before this
appears in print, and will probably So
berize his humor on the bench. for he
is at bottom man of sense and ability
Nor should 1 pass over wholly unno
ticed big, burly, lost Isaac Butt, the
leader of the Irish Home Rule move
ment, man sent into life with better
intellectual endowments than nine out
of every ten of the men who
have left him long behind.
Butt promised at one time to
be great orator, and might have been
great leader and patriot, and perhaps
even statesman. He is now only a
failure and a wreck-a man grown gray
and old striving with futile energy to
galvanize into life the corpse of once
bright and promising career. The Par
iamentary shore is strewn with such
wrecks, for in the House of Commons,
when the favoring moment is once al
lowed to pass, there is little chance
left for successful voyage.-Jasstin

Charcoal for Sick Animals.

When one of our animals becomes
sick, our rule has always been to give
nothing unless we know exactly what
to do and in the meantime attended
to every interior comfort practicable.
IT the weather is cold, place it in warm
quarters, avoid all exposure, and attend
to pure air and strict cleanliness. But
there is one medicine that can never
do harm, and is commonly beneficial.
This is pulveriZed charcoal. Nearly
all sick animals become 50 by improper
eating in the first place. Nine cases

windows. There are two large holes
bored on either side OF ends for circu-
latlon of air, ventilator through the
roof-brick chimney. There is tight
fitting panel door. anda parlor stove is
in temporary use. There are racks
made of nicely planed laths nailed to
side pieces, for apples, pears, peaches,

the edges turned up make very con-
venient holders for corn, berries, etc.;
these are kept in place by setting them
on pieces of wood, which reach across
from side to side of the house, or from
end to end.

caps on the towers covering the cables
have been removed, and the cables
found to be as perfect in all respects as
ever they were. But most important
of all, the anchorage of the cables were
thoroughly inspected. The masonry
over one of them was removed for about
twelve feet, or below where the wires
are attached to the anchor chains. A
