Grass FOR CALvEs.-Mr. David A. Hswn,

Line Stock Journal, turns out his calves to
clover as Som as there is an abundance OF
Iced. He FIRST feeds on sweet milk, than on
warmed or milk with little meal or
shorts. and on turnips. but continues the
milk alone for short time, lessening the
quantity gradually. The calves are then lett
IN the fed by themselves, getting only liz
tie salt, till the clover is out. Finer calves
than his it IS hard e. fnd. One of the I'M
portant points in raising calves is, IN the
earliest stag to gradually charge from one
diet to another. A change from bay to
grass, if the grass is the first tender growth,
and the calf a late one, is often followed by
tie scours, the same as when cold tsour)
milk is given where the habit was to have it
warmed.
Grass can be fed to caves as well in winter
a. in summer. Clover, when cut about the
time OF blussoming, or when the heads begin
to color, and we'll cured. differs from asture
grass only in the quantity of water, a al

HOMEMADE FEATHER BUSTERS. -. Soon
there will be a mighty raid upon the poultry
houses, and hundreds of chickens will have
their heads laid low in the dust, while their
feathers will be pulled off ked in Coo
oven, and put away for future use. Now lei
me tell you that exceedingly pretty dusteIe
can he very easily made OF them, which VIII
be very useful for dustirg furniture, wal
corners, cornices, etc while they are always
handy to use about fireplace or stove. Pick
out the prettest feathers, and those OF nearly
a size, and run a needle alta Ghed to strong
twIne through the stem at the end OF TIE
feathered part then pound the quilts fla
with hammer, so that they will lie close Il
the handle, which can be made out OF an OLD
brUom-stick whitfield down and then painted ;
or YOU can use the handles Of WORKOUT hair
brushes, or the like. Cover one e. OF th'
handle with thick, warm glue, and wind the
feathers, closely strung together, around thu
stick, commencing at the point OF 1t. Hav'
glue-pOt close at hand. an J as you wind th'
feathers wet them thoroughly with glue So
that they will stick tightly to the handle and
to each other. When the brush is as large
as you desire, cut off the twiue, and WHO
another piece tightly over the quilts, gluiug
it down. Tnen take piece of scarlet, greer
or blue enameled cloth. and cut one edge ID
points, round up the sides, and Sew togeti,eI
so to form cap that will 20 over th'
handle of the brush and cover the quilts Of
Il feathers. Make hole with a gimlet
through the handle, and put in a string t.
bang up the buster, and you will be FULLY
paid tor the work in the convenience OF tn,
article, and Its tasteful appearance will ais
prove an attraction. 1t there are any old
WORKOUT window brush hand es lying arounl
in the wood-shed or barn, You can turn then
into use. Cut out all the Old brstles whic
remain, so as to leave the holes empty; an
then fill up their places with punches OF
feathers run on twIne, and made just Iarg.
enough to fit in; cut off the quill ends, and
cover the lower part OF the feathers WI b
glue, also dropping some into the holes, ana
secure the punches firmly into them You
can use smaller feathers tor this kind o
brush than Tor the feather busters, and VIII n
it is finished you will never desire another
brush made OF bristles The downy, pure
white feathers can be sewed upon piece
cape lace, stiff ned on the edges with wire
and made into very elegant and tasteiu
feathers for young ladies' bats. The feather
taken from the crest OF a white turkeys back
are particularly pretty Tor this purposes.
