The beauty Of the location of Red Wing
has ever been the theme Of comment blythe
visitor, or even THO passing tourist. The
plsteau upon whichSthe city is mostly built,
is about forty feet above the river. and is
entirely surroundedby high hills or bluffs
except on the side next the river. Barn
Bluff stands at theslower end of the town
like some tall sentinel, landmark far
away; then follows College Bluff, Twin
Bluffs; and several other nameless bluffs,
) that form . sort of sfmi-circle from the river
above the city to tAe river below, and the
city lies here in this curious lap Of the
bluffs. !

RAISING CALVES.

Levi Bartlett obtained for readers Of the
Country Gentleman the manner OF raising
calves practiscd at the Shaker Village, Mer.
rimack Co., N. H., as follows:
We take pleasure in forwarding our man
ner of raising calves, hoping that the in
formation may prove useful to all interested.
We take the calves from the cows when six
days old, and feed then on two quarts Of
new milk three times day, until they are
four weeks old. The fifth week we grad.
ually reduce the quantity Of new milk and
add skinned milk, increasing the quantity
by the close OF the week to three quarts at
a feeding. All the new milk given to the
calves should be taken from their mother.
From the time they are FIVE weeks until
they are three mo nths old they are fed on
porridge prepared as follows: half pint OF
oatmeal, one gill OF cracked wheat, boiled
one hour in six quarts OF water; in cool
weather days allowance may bo cooked
at time. To two quarts of this add two
quarts of skinned milk, making four quarts
three times a day. The milk should be
gently warmed to about the temperature
of new milk, taking care not to scad it, as
it will produce collie. II calves incline to
scour, one or two raw eggs beaten in their
milk will generally effect cure. We give
four quarts Of the mixture at feeding un-
til they are ten weeks old, then gradual y
diminish the quantity during the next two
weeks, when they are weaned and turned
out to pasture. From the time they enter
the feeding pens until they leave for the
pasture, there is continually kept by them a
supply of roots-beets or potatoes, cut into
long thin slices. We prefer beets, as they
prove to be the most nutritious. When
grass cannot be procured, there should be u
crib-full of early-cut or second-crop hay
kept by them. The pens should be kept
clean and dry to do this, they must be
cleaned and new bedding put in every day.
The calves show the success Of our plan of
feeding. When ! | weeks old, their average
weight was go lbs. They we're sired by the
Shorthorn bull Duke of Warner, purchased

VALUE OF TAP-RooTs.

English books aud practice advise the
suppression of tap-roots. ltis an established
principle in their arboricuture that these
should be checked, and horizontal roots en-
couraged as much as possible. In planting
wall trees in gardens, they sometimes lay an
impervious pavement down in the soil under
the trees as a precaution against the dreaded
canker of the stem. We follow this lead.
Our nurscrymen find that a tree transplants
better for having many small roots disposed
to run through the rich surface soil, rather
than two or three vertical prongs. But it is
very doubtful whether there is substantial
advantage in this course, applied in our hot,
dry climate, for we find that trees in forests
and along fences, which have come by
chance" and have never felt steel in their
roots, either Of pruning knife or plow, will
maintain health and productivcness to au
extreme old age. Nursery.grown trees, cul-
tivated in orchards, sicken every few years
after severe vicissitudes of weather, and per-
ish prematurely.
Even where the subsoil is impervious hard.
pan all around, so that there is no drainage,
we find the self-planted tree enduring, al
though its roots are necessarily horizontal,
because they cannot penetrate the hardpan,
or if they do, they are pinched off by the
poisonous nature Of the subsoil, or drowned
of by the water which is held all the year
near the surface. In such soils the forest
trees-which are apt to be blown over in
storms because they are only standing on
the hardpan and not anchored in it--show,
when uprooted, a perfectly fiat mesh OF hor-
izontal roots. A tree with this form of
roots will not live long in rich, well drained
soil in our climatc-evidently because it is
irregularly supplied. 1t is all feast or fam
Inc with t-repleton or drouth. After
rain, the growth is suddenly inordinate, and
again, in our frequent summer drouths, even
the roots are dried. Soon the stem begins to
decay, owing TO these alterations, and then
the tree irretrievably declines.
Seeding pear trees always, and Seeding
grapevines generally, have vertical roots
which thrust deeply downward and supply
the leaves with the necessary cold water
through the severest drouths. But as these
get older, and especially if grown from
sprouts or layers, we find the roots directed
horizontally, and then, it they are in open,
dry, unsheltcred soil, few summers will
disease them so that the leaves become open
to blight and mildew, and winter finishes
what the trials of the summer time had
weakened 1t is difficult problem in tree
culture to constantly secure a sufiicieucy Of
moisture in the soil, and at the same time to
encourage the roots to run deeply. A wide
mulching of the surface will retain moisture
indeed, but it infalibly attracts the roots to
grow and feed close under the mulch, within
the grip of either drouth or frost when the
mulch has decayed away. Thorough drain
ing and deepening of soil not naturally well
drained, aud either constantly mellow or
open surface, or a constantly cIose.cropped
sward Of grass, are most favorable to healthy
and regular root supply.

other kinds have been produced which are

THE REASON WHY.

Why does boiling fast render meat hard? ?
Because the excessive action of heat caus-
es the albumen Of the meat to set solid
crisps up the feshy fbers, and prevents heat
having gradual access to the interior.
Why, when good soup or broth is re-
quired, should the meat be put into cold
water?
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermixture be-
tween the juices of the flesh and the exter-
nal matter. The soluble and savory parts
of the meat escape and enrich the soup.
Why are stews generally healthful and
digestible?
Because, being compounds of various sub
stances, they contain all the elements Of nu-
triton, and as the office of the stomach is to
liquefy solid food before digesting it. the
previous stewing assists the stomach in this
particular.
What causes the cracking noise when
lard is put into a frying pan?
Lard always contains some portion of
water, and it is the expansion of this water
into steam, forcing its way through the fat,
which causes the cracking noise.
The heat at which fat or oil bois is much
greater than the water. When the crack
ling ceases, the water has been driven off
from the fat and when the fat begins to
boil or bubble, its heat will be very high.
Why, in frying fish, should the fat or oil
be made very hot before the fish are put in ?
Because, if the temperature is low when
the fish is put into the frying pan, it becomes
sodden in the steam formed by its water; but
if the oil be very much heated the water
will be driven off, and the fish nicely
Drowned by the scorching oil.
Why should fish or meat that is being
fried be frequently turned ?
Because the turning assists the evapora-
ton of the water. When the fish or meat
is allowed to lie too long steam is generated
under it, and the substance becomes sodden
and the moment the steam is driven off, the
surface catches to the hot pan, and becomes
burnt and broken.
Why is broied meat so juicy and savory
Because the action of the fire, hardening
its surface, seals up the pores through
which the juices might escape. 1t acts in
the same way that the sudden dip into boil
ing water does upon the joints Of meat, but
more effectually. To turn broiling meat
never use a fork, but tougs fork opens an
escape for the juice, and wastes the best part
of the meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more wholesome
and nutritious by being boiled in two waters ?
Because according to DR.. Paris) cabba-
ges contain an essential oil, which is apt to
produce bad effects, and he recommends that
they should be boiled in two successive wa
ters till they are soft and digestible.-Ar-

A MODEL AMERICAN MERlNo.

At a meeting of the Southeastern Wscon-
son Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers As
sociation, the secretary, George Lawrence,
Jr., Of Waukesha, presented the following as
his idea Of a model or standard Of perfection
of an American Merino:
No. !. Carcass.-Unquestion the
first point to be regarded, because on the
proper constitution or proper structure and
connections of its parts depend tho health
vigor, aud hardness of the animal. Plump,
good size for the variety the body should
be round and deep, not over long, and both
the head and neck short and thick. The
back should be straight and broad bosom
and buttOck full legs not over long, we'll
apart, straight, and strong, with heavy fore
arms.
No. 2. Folds.-Good, heavy neck folds,
particularly on the ram short fold or two
back of the elbow, and some small ones
round the roots of the tail and on the breech,
the latter running in the direction of lines
drawn from the tail to the stiae and good
deep flank.
Ne, 3. Feece.-Tho body and limbs
should be densely covered with wool Of as
uniform length as attainable the wool
should stand at right angles to the surface,
except on the inside Of legs it should pre-
sent dense, smooth, even surface, external
ly dropping apart nowhere. Density and
heaviness the leading considerations.
No. 4. Eyenness OF heece.--Evenness Of
quality in every part of the fleece, 50 far as
this can be attained, is one Of the first point s
of a well.bred sheep. Fur is Objectionable,
and is the indication of bad blood, or a de-
fective course of breeding.
Ne. 5. Flneness and soundness Of FIBER
Wool should be of equal diameter from the
