GREASE OR SCRATCHES that
have been driven much during the win
ter through the snow and mud, and after
being brought into the stable have not
had their legs rubbed clean and dry, are
very likely to be attacked by this dis
ease, which shows itself about the lower
part of the hind legs. seldom attacking
the front. The usual inclination of the
stall floor is from the front to the rear
thereby enabling all the filth to reach
the hind legs, where it is frequently al
lowed to remain in the most favorable
position to assist the growth and spread

RAISING CALVES.
Sew Hampshire farmer says

A New Hampshire farmer says:
| am convinced from my experience
and from the experience of men who
are better farmers than | am. that every
dairyman can raise at least calves enough
to keep up his dairy herd, with great
advantage to the herd and to his pocket.
For several years | have raised on my
farm of fifty acres. two or more calves
every season, and have realized hand
some return from them. Ny treatment
of calves differs from that of my neigh
bors when they turn theirs out to pas
ture. | do not turn my calves out to
grass until they are year old. Dur
ing their first summer they are kept in
the basement of the barn, cool, airy
place, each having pen to itself For
an hour or two in the cool of the day,
they are all allowed free range of the
yards for exercise. Here they are
protected alike from the heat of the sun
and from stormy weather. Flies worry
them but little, and they have all the
exercise they need. They are fed lib
orally twice day with milk in which
is stirred little quantity of meal to be
gradually increased as they grow in
size. In addition to this they have all
the fine, early cut hay they will eat
little salt is given them once a week,
generally in their milk; and thus treat
they are healthy and in good condition,
grow rapidly and cause very little troub-
lie. Milk should on no account be given
to calves when at grass. or when fed
with green fodder, and corn meal should
never be given to them before they are
eight or nine months old. If calves
must be turned out to pasture, be sure
to take away their milk at least a week
before they are turned out. This | con-
slider Of the utmost Importance. Calves
turned out in good pastures, when four
or five months old, or about the lst of
September, generally do we'll, but l think
the best results will be obtained by keep
ing them up to hay until they are year
old.
During the winter calves may be fed
a little corn meal, though l think they
do best even then on oats or oatmeal.
Turnips and other roots may be given
them once or twice week or even once
a day with marked benefit They should
be kept in warm, we'll ventilated sta
bic, with plenty of clean litter under
them, and give them all they will eat Of
the best hay in the barn. Never feed a
calf with straw or cornstalks. 1t wont
pay. The only way to make money by
raising calves is to feed them high until
a year old, and then to keep right on
feeding them high; keep them steadily
growing, from the time they are dropped
until they are fully matured, and always
keep them in good condition, plump and
sleek.

A TRUE HERO.


John Maynard was well know in the
Lake district as an honest, intelligent
man. He was pilot on steamer from
Detroit to Buffalo one summer afternoon.
At that time, those steamers seldom car
ried boats. Smoke was seen ascending
from below, and the captain called out,
Simpson. 60 down and see what that
smoke is" Simpson came up, with his
face as pale as ashes, and said, Gap

WHAT DID PAUL SAY.

Many years ago.there lived in Virgin
ia Baptist preacher named B. Though
uneducated he was sound thinker and
eloquent speaker, and no minister had a
more devoted flock 1t was the custom
during the inclement season, to hold
meetings at the residences of the mem
bers. and once or twice, during the win
ter, at the house of the preacher. For
years 1t was observed that B. neither
preached nor conducted the meeting when
held at his house. but secured the SER
vices of a neighboring minister. He
was often pressed for an explanation,
without success; but finally in response
to the opportunities of some of his flock.
he gave the following:

THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.

"And Jesus answered and said unto
her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things; but
one thing is needful and Mary hath chos-
en- that good part which shall not be
taken away from her." What, is the
better part ? what is the one thing need
full ? A man may build house, and when
he proposes to do so he says that the
bricks, mortar, timber etc., are necessa-
ry; but it is not necessary that he should
build the house at all. In order that a
young man may become rich. it is neces-
sary that he be industrious, prudent,
frugal, ETC., but is it necessary that he
become rich? If a man wishes to become
scholar, he must study hard; it is
necessary that he give himself up to the
perusal of books and works of learning /;
but it is not necessary that he should
become scholar. Then we find that
necessities sometimes conflict, and in
that case the greater will prevail. In
order that vessel may make voyage
she must be furnished with masts, sails
and seamen. She goes down to the sea-,
and when in mid-ocean d storm comes
up, and, in order to save the ship, the
first thing to 60 overheard are the masts
and sails, which are so necessary on or
binary occasions. All these, then, are
only relative necessities, and we must 90
farther and inquire whetherthere is any
thing absolutely necessary. Whatever
Is essential to the attainment of the end
of mans being and the perfection of his
nature under Gods moral government
Is absolutely necessary. So physical
life itself is not absolutely necessary
only the spiritual life Is needful. Men
say, | must make living, and under
this cloak all kinds of wickedness and
frauds are perpetrated. You go to the
man who sells intoxicating liquors, and
thereby spreads crime, disorder and pow
erty in his neighborhood and remon
strate with him on his evil practices
and he will say to you: II must live
it's all very we'll to preach morality anc
sobriety, but behind all this is the hard
bare fact that must live and provide
for my family" The man who cheat
and lies in his business will excuse him
self on the same plea. But we can an
swer that it is not necessary for them t.

1t would be better both for them and tn
community if they were dead. 1t would
be better for them because they woulc
have less to answer for, and better 70
the community because there would b
less evil and less wickedness spread
abroad. People say that they mus
throw their souls into their business, an,
forget that by so doing they barter thei
spiritual happiness. Christ SAYS
"What doth it profit man if he gail
the whole world and lose his own soul 2
and, again, "What will man give i
exchange for his soul?" The spiritua
life is the one thing needful; man

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

The Blood is the Life" When this
source is corrupted, the painful and sor-
reproducing effects are visible III many
shapes. The multifarious forms III which
it manifests itself, would form subjects
upon which l might write volumes.
But as all the varied forms of disease
which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated, by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and excrete from
the system the noxious elements, it is
not of practical Importance that l should
describe each. For instance, medical
authors describe about fifty varieties of
skin disease, but as they all require for
their cure very similar treatment it is of
no practical utility to know just what
name to apply to a certain form of skin
disease, so you know how best to cure
1t. Then again might 90 on and de-
scribe various kinds of scrofulous sores.
white swellings, enlarged glands, and
ulcers of varying appearance might
describe how virulent poison may show
itself in various forms Of eruptions, Ill

as all these various appearing NANTES

which is the great fountain of life and
