Raising Calves for the Dairy.

When one possesses COWS of valuable
breed, it is very desirable to raise their
calves for sale; yet the milk is also valua.
bic, in the early spring, and therefore it is
considered tho best plan to bring them up
by hand.
The calf should be allowed to nurse for
the first day or two, and con then be re-
moved to another stable, aad taught to
drink by putting two fingers into it's mouth
and gently drawing its head down to the
milkpail, letting it suck the fingers. A
large teat can he manufactured out of
cotton cloth, and nailed TO the bottom of IL
small tub and the milk poured into it.
Mako tho artificial teat long enough to
come up above the milk, so that the calf
can take hold of it easily. Hay porridpe
or tea il often substituted for milk III
bringing up calves. Take the best hay
your barn affords, and cut it into two or
three.inch lengths; pour boiling water
over it in large bowl, and let it Scald on
the fire two hours or 60. For the first
Two weeks, give equal proportions Of hay
tea and new milk then make two. thirds
OF tea to one of milk, and in six weeks one
fourth part Of milk will be enough.
The food should be given in q luke
warm state, three times day, giving
about three quarts at q meal for two
weeks; then increase to four quarts. The
hay tea need not be- prepared oftener
than every other day, but it must not stand
in iron, and must be kept sweet. The milk
should not be ecalded, but turned into
nearly cold tea. II afver the second or
third week a handful Of oat or corn meal
is stirred into each portion of scalding hot
tea, it will stimulate the growth Of the
calf considerably.
There is nothing gained by keeping
calves on short diet. Give them I'LL thew
desire to eat; they will rarely take more
than enough: Many u calf: and many a
baby too, is kept on too small o quantity
OF food. II is astonishing TO see how
much the young things will stow away
and grow tat over it.
Whom calf is two months old, it car
have a small whisp Of hay given it; or il
the weather is warm enoug h, it can be
turned out to Craze upon the sweet, tcnde,
grass but must be we'll sheltered from
wind and rain, and so near the house thu
it can have its breakfast and supper u.
usual.
When it is fully weaned,it is not needfu
to pamper its appetite; yet it must not b.
poorly fed, lest it should receive checl
in its growth. 1t isa good plan to PEI
and earess it; lead it early by halter
and handle it as much as possible for
this treatment makes it kind and dooile
and will also make it IL good mixer.
There is nothing more cruel than te
strike, kick and speak harshly to young
animals; they have an instinct that teaches
them to comprehend kindness and its op.
posito. The best COW we ever had was q
pct with the children, and, whom calf
was ted and caressed by them, and there
never was u more gentle animal or bot
ter milker-Cor. Country Gentleman.

Little girl Goldcn-Loc'>s knows this vol.

mat none but myself may understand,
And boys for tho wonderful history
Of tho chippic birds in the cedar tree.
We cali it our secret and Gold Locks eyes,
Though brimn,cd with mischief, look WON
And since already the rogue has heard
The story repeated, word for word,
Owe: and over, always new,
Tho rest Of the children shall hear it too.
Tho chppics had built lred-srass house
Under the thcktst, srcrnest boug!is;
Not single window was i'll tho wall,
Nor 4 door, nor any roof at all
III. place for the skyiight wis the door,
And a soft: soft carpet lined the floor.
They were plain and homcspun little folks;-
None of those ga,dy hats and cloaks
Such AZ thu dandy orioles wear,
Whether the weather DO dull or fair,
Not oven as much as crimson vest,
Such Us covers the robins breast.
Mrs. Chippie wore mostly brown,
Erom tiny claw gloves to shawl and gown;
And Mr.. Chippie was plain indeed,
In . dingy, wcll-wOrn suit of tweed;
But the oldest Of all was their family,

Gold-Locks thought it was very queer
Why Mrs. Chippie should disappear
Whenever she peepod through the cedar

To look at the cunning dricd-grass house,
And count through its open sky.light door
lA'ttlc brown eggs, ono, two, three, fourl
Sho studied within her careful brain
What they would do II 1t should rain;
And at night, whenever she thought OF il,
She looked to SEQ if their lamp was lit;
Always so wrapped in mystery
We're the little folks in the cedar tfcei
But now is the funniest thing OF al,
And Gold-Locks laughs until tears fall:
-Four baby birds arc in tho nest
Big, and homcly, and not half dressed;
You would think-thoy open their mouths SC
wilc-
They could swallow each other, if they tried.
What do YOU think bird babies eat7
Nothing so very nice or sweet.
Their mother brings them for cakes and pics
Little green worms, and bugs, and flies
And when they are grown up, suppose,
She Will dress them all in plain brown clothes.

England,


One OF tho grandest naval displays
ever beheld on those waters was held
IN honor of tho Shah OF Persia, at
Portsmouth, England, on Monday.
The town was ornamented with stream
ers and triumphal arches; the harbor
was filled with shipping OF all kinds
decorated with flags OF I'LL nations
and the shores on both sides were
crowded with masses Of spectators,
thousands Of whom came from London.
The fleet drawn up ut Spithead con-
sisted Of forty vessels, the finest and
largest in tue British navy, comprising
the entire channel squadron,
with numerous additions, and
nearly all the great ironclads.
The Shah arrived ut Ports
mouth at noon. His Majesty was re-.
ceived with cheers by the immense
assemblagc in and around the depot.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert
was waiting, and the Shah imnlediate-
~ embarked, accompanied by the
Prince Of Wales, Prince Alfred and the
Czarowich. Tine yacht steamed slowly
out OF the harbor, and arriving in front
of the fleet was greeted with salutes
from the ironclatls. The Shah took a
conspicuous position on the yacht,
surrounded by princes, and proceeded
to inspect tho fleet, passing up aud
down in front Of and between the lines.
The yards were manned and salutes
fired rs the royal yacht passed When
the inspection was completed tho Vic.
toria and Albeit steamed to the front.
The review terminated with grand
salute simultaneously by all the ves-
sells Of the feet. The royal party then
returned to Portsmouth, where ban

An Err Within an Fry.

A correspondent tf the St. Louis
Globe vouches for the following:
"On the 9Th of May one of my little
girls, in her perambnlations hunting
eggs, found what we supposed to be a
goose egg where she had been in the
habit OF finding hens eggs, or rather
in the nest with hens eggs 1--WE did moi
OVID any of those web -footel birds. nor
had there been any OH the place that We
were aware of, but still it was our con.
clusion, for all that, that it was goose
egg, and the only mystery to us for the
time being was, how came the egg in q
hens nest? At the solicitation of INV
daughter, we consented to let her cook
it for her supper, when, to our 81 cut as.
tonishment, on breaking the egg it was
found to contain perfect ordinary.
sized hens egg, surrounded with the
white and yolk of the other egg. The
yolk was the size of the ordinary hens
egg, but of the white there was u larger
Quantity of a thinner consistency, thus
verifying, in my own mind, that it was
mammoth hens egg, containing tile
additional freak of another egg Of the
usual size inside of it. The inside ego
we still retain unbroken, and also tic
