RAISING CALvEs.-ln raising young
stock, it should be remembered that the
first year is by far the most important
in their lives. If not well fed and cared
for then, it will afterward require two
or three years of extra care to make up
the loss. Meal fed to young calves
during their first winter is by no means
thrown away, and the future size OF the
animal Will depend much upOn the
amount of meal fed during this time
Some hold the doctrine that the milking
abilities of heifer calf are fixed from
its birth and that certain markings Will
indicate its good or bad qualities as a
dairy COW before it is four weeks old.
We do not think so, and our experience
in raising calves for dairy purposes has
convinced us that the future value of
the COW is much influenced by the treat
ment of the Young calf, especially dur
ing its first winter. If literally fed
then, it will at least make a much larger
animal than if it had been neglected,
and if it should make but a poor COW,
it will then bring so much more rs beef.
If milk can be spared from the pigs,
it will pay to give the calf nothing but
SKINNED milk for drink, with liberal
allowance of meal and cut hay. We
think We have, during the past Winter,
obtained a better return for our sour
milk in this way th N by turning 1t into
pork at present prices.

Humorous.

SAYS the Stockton Gazette: Where
the road between Merced and Smelling
crosses the Merced River that stream
is about two hundred yards in width,
and even at this season of the year,
when the water is quite low, it looks
like dangerous and deep stream to
cross. Last Thursday, a patent-medi-
cine agent, travelling on horseback
through that section, came to the river
and hesitated about attempting to ford
it as he saw the wide expanse of rushing
waters. There is no bridge anywhere
along there, so after some lndecisiOn he
concluded to swim his horse across.
Spying a boy fishing in small punt
tied to the bank, he said:
Hello, bub p
"Hello, yourself.
''Can 1 get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat?"
Il rekin you kin, if you've got any
SOAP"
.All right, I'll give you a quarter to
take over my clothes and this carpet
sack to the opposite shore"
To this the boy nodded ascent, the
stranger disrobed, turned over the
carpet sack and habiliments to the juve-
nile, who padded out into the stream,
and mounted his horse, prepared to
swim the river and enjoy the luxury of
bath With splash at every move
ment, the horse stepped into the stream,
and walked across-the water Was no.
where more than eighteen inches deep !!
To say that that medicine man, perched
on the back of his horse, was a man of
iniquity for the space of half an hour
would hardly do justice to the occasion.
There were enough "dams" along the
Merced that afternoon to supply hum
dred mill-sites.

l ONCE had friend who married a
widow, i. G., second hand wife. Well,
the next day at breakfast she began
talking about "her poor dear departed,
and crying, and telling him how much
she Was still in debt for the excellent
funeral she gaue the "poor dear," and
how kind the undertaken had been in
waiting so long when he heard of her
coming second marriage. This put my
friend in a rage; he jumped up from
the table with the half of small shad
in his mouth. The bones choked him
that is some of them did-and some
of them penetrated the roof of his
mouth, and punctured his brain, in
consequence of which he died ; and that
woman went right out, ordered grand,
polished walnut casket, with French
plate glass lid, thirty carriages, mutes,
and all the fixings, and gave that con
tiding undertaken her note of hand for
the expenses, payable the day after her
third wedding.
MoRAL-Never marry secondhand
wife, unless you are quite sure that the
frst-hand husbands funeral has been
pad for, and that the discOnsolate duck
detested the deceased-and then don't
do it.-BridgetOn Patriot.

Agricultural.

CoNcERNINa WATER-CREss.- We OBJ
serve that the cultivation of this escu-
lent is receiving encouragement IN this
country as well as in Europe. The true
water-cress is ndstUrtium ". oBicinate
of botanists, and is very distinct from
the ordinary native crosses. Writers
upon the subject lay down special rules
for planting, as well as for the prepara
tion of the soil, &C., but We have seen
the verv best results obtained from
simply scattering a few young plants IL
the bed of a shallow stream OF pure
spring g-water. They increase so rapidly,
that in a short time the plants Will
almost dam up the water, and the yield
in early Spring is enormous. 1t IS a
vegetable that one must learn TO eat,
and after the taste is acquired there is
no difficulty in wishing regular supply
upon the table every day until the early
vegetables become quite plenty. In
Europe we have seen the low bottom
lands divided into squares and planted
with celery and caulihowers, while sur
rounding each square was broad ditch
filed with water-cress. The annual
receipts for crops did not show bad
statement for the latter, after deducting
cost of labor and other expenditures
In fact, we were informed that it paid
the best. Those of our readers who
possess little stream of water can very
readily grow sufficient not only for
themselves, but for market as well. Try
it.

PROSPECTS, of the Fishermen.

The long-standing disputes between
our New England fishermen and the
Provincial authorities being once fairly
settled under the Treaty Of Washing
ton, the removal of this apprehension
alone promises to effect the release of
their enterprise and energies for more
active efforts than they have ever
made since the iishing-grounds have
been source of controversy. Com
petition is now to be open and unre-
stricted between the vessels of the
two nations from Prince Edward Is
land and the Dominion to the thirty
ninth parallel of north latitude; while
on the other hand American fishermen
are to be free to pursue their fares in
any of the waters ofthe Dominion and
Prince Edward Island. Fish are also
to be brought in anywhere between
the same limits by the Provincial fish
ermen as freely as by our own-a fact
which will soon make itself felt Oh the
price Of this important article of food
in the market, to the satisfaction Of
the entire body of consumers. And
it is to be regarded as singular piece
of good fortune that this advantage
is offered almost simultaneously with
the stocking of our inland lakes and
streams with the finest fresh-w alter fish
known to the table.
The question io agained raised by
the approach Of the fishing season,
whether the Treaty as thus carried out
is to prove destructive to the interests
Of New England fishermen. Such, at
any rate, was represented to be the
fact by certain opponents of the Treaty
and its Fisheries clause. The time Is
now at hand for the discovery of a just
answer to that question. 1t is reas-
suring to note the careful observations
of Eastern papers on the subject. The
Eastern Argus, which cannot but
speak most intelligently upon it, de-
clares its opinion that the Treaty ar
rangement, instead of proving prejndi-
cial, will be beneficial to our fisher
men, and that lit will largely stimu-
late the fishery business generally"
The interest being now a very import
ant one, it believes that, Give years
hence it will be very much enlarged
and more important And it adds,
that it twill be greatly disappointed
too, if the enterprise and skill Of our
fishermen do not reap a substantial
benefit from the settlement OF disputes
and the acquisition Of large fishing
domain" The opinions thus express
ed are based on personal knowledge
of the subject, and are worth more
than all the demagogue harangles that
have been made to prevent an arrange
ment which promises both permanent
paciiication and AN extended fishing
area.

The refined philanthropy OF the late
Edwin Forrest is now taking shape.
In accordance with the terms of his
will, a charter for the edwin Forrest
Home" for superanuated OF disabled
actors and actresses has been drafted,
and is now before the Legislature Of
Pennsylvania. The corporators are
those who were the most intimate
friends of the renowned actor, includ-
ing James Oakes Of Boston, Daniel
Dougherty, Col. J. W. Forney and
the Mayor Of Philadelphia en Q1fcio.
The second section Of the charter pro-
vides for the establishment of the
"Home' at Spring Brook, the country
seat of the late tragedian and requires
with the primary qualification for adj
mission of advanced years or intirm
health that the applicant shall have
been at least five years an actor, if a
native Of the United States, and ten
years in the profession if foreigner,
three of which shall have been spent
in the service in this country. After
the number of inmates reaches twelve
no others can be admitted except with
the approval Of the majority of the in
mates and managers, and great pre-
cautions are taken to prevent abuse in
the management of the institution
There is little likelihood that the bill
will meet with any opposition, and the
noble projects Of the great actor will
soon be realized in a monument of his
love for his art and those whose lives
have been and shall be devoted to its
development.

Corrupt Combination.

1t is reported that a number of
Democratic Senators voted with the
friends of the Administration for the
confirmation Of Collector Casey. The
veil of Executive session hides the
details of the process by which the
arrogant brother-in-law was continued
i'll authority over the State Of Louis
lana, but it is well understood that the
result was in no doubt. Had the vote
been adverse, it is said, other Senators
stood ready to change from the mega
tive in favor of the candidate. The
abuses and usurpations of power that
have marked Collector Caseys career
are too notorious to need recapitula-
ton. The Senate knows them as well
as the public. A Congressional re-
port is on the records urging the Pre-
sident to remove a favoritc whose acts
were so atrocious and since that re-
port was made Casey has degraded
the Federal power to the compulsion
of q State, tie defeat of an election by
the people, and the establishment of a
Government based on fraud and sus-
tanned by bayonets under orders from
Washington. Other nominations may
be worse in their influence upon the
efficiency of the service, but none is
SO debasing in its effect upon political
morality. Yet it is this case in which
the Administration has but to name
the number Of voters required, and
they are forthcoming at the beck Of
Morton and Conkling. Even Demo
Gratis, when a reconsideration offered
the opportunity Of at least protesting
against this insult to the State and ma
ton, are found assisting the indign-
ity.
1t is a most unholy alliance, and
none the less discreditable because the
Legislative crime originates in the Adj.
ministration party and there finds IFS
sole responsibility. The schemes and
the jobs that were hustled through the
notorious Conference Committee il
the closing hours of the Forty-second
Congress, were successful, and could
only have succeeded, by a corrupt
combination in which interests were
balanced against principles. The in
crease Of salary, with its accompany
ing theft Of back pay, found no incon
siderable Democratic following under
the lead of Butler, who was happily
so Extensively prominent in his con
duct of the bill as to carry off the bull
of odium on his own shoulders. l
is, indeed, only stragglers from tn,
Democratic ranks that are found il
such company, while the Administra
ton party ranges up in almost SOLE
phalanx under Butler to assault tn,
Treasury in behalf of the Presiden
and themselves, or to establish a law

Equal condemnation is merited, wheth

party as have favored either the But
Ter or the Casey disgrace deal out t

what is demanded of the Administra
ton party, without the prospect of oh
tanning satisfaction; and it is onl
through the votes Of the people tina
the punishment of such combination
can be attained.
