Care Of Young Calves.

1T Is cruel to tie up young calves in
some cold corner of an open shed, or even
in corner of an old barn, the siding and
doors of which are so full of large cracks
that the cold wind will rush through as
furiously as through a tree top. 1t is
cruel, at any rate, to tie up young calves.
They need liberty. If their apartment is
not more than four or five feet square it
will be far better to let them run loose
than to tie them. In cold weather our
own practice is to make a small apart
ment in one corner of the stable-say
about five or six feet square-leaving
doorway about fourteen inches wide,
which is closed by door made of pieces
of lath. Then we pile in the straw or
chaff for bedding, so that when the young
animal lies down he will be half buried
in straw. The top is covered with pieces
of boards or rails and straw or hay In
such little snug caboose "A calf will keep
warm and grow fat even in cold weather
But when a young animal is tied in cold
corner, with the cold, wet and filthy floor
for his bed, and old Boreas twanging his
roaring fiddlestrings about the shivering
brute, no animal can thrive even if well
fed. 1t is cheering to peep into the neat
and comfortable box of our little bOs, all
cuddled down to sleep in his bed of clean
straw, when the wintry winds howl and
the cold storm beats furiously against the
buildings. 1t is much more economical
also to keep young animals warm by
means of boards and straw than with
milk, meal ana hay. When one cannot
avail himself of a vacant corner of some
building, procure some boards and make
a calf house on one side of some build
ing. If no boards are at hand make a
framework of pieces of old rails, or large
branches of trees, cover with small brush,
and then pile on the straw. In cold re-
gions our domestic animals must be pro-
tected or they will use up all their fat in
maintaining the heat of their bodies,
which is an expensive way of keeping
stock comfortable-N Y. Herald

of oats without the carrots. In the winter
season, until the first of February, horses,
unless worked, are altogether better with
out grain at all, if fed carrots and hay,
than they would be with grain.
There is feeling among farmers that it
costs more to raise a bushel of carrots
than bushel of grain. This is the fact
unless the soil be in high condition and
the crop be kept clean. Ii this be the
case the cost is far less, but even if such
were the fact it would pay to cultivate a
due proportion of these valuable roots.
And again, if enough were grown to give
each mich COW from a peck to a half
bushel daily we should hear less of white
butter in winter But when we took up
the subject of the righteousness of dry
feeding we did not intend to enter upon
the raising of carrots for farm stock. If
we succeed in calling attention to the
number of horses rendered dyspeptic and
disabled from this cause, and have made
the proper remedial measures clear, we
shall have done what we intended.-JF est

whether sufficient statistics exist to show

whether sufficient statistics exist to show
the fact or not, greatly affects the rainfall
and climate for the worse, has alarmed our
most thoughtful economists, and already
stimulated governmental investigation.
The subject, so fully treated in the
official report of which we now speak,
comes directly home, and its timely dis
cussion will do great good if it leads us
to timely action. This report abundantly
and statistically exposes the popular de
fusion that forests are inexhaustible
sources of wood supply which have only
to be left to themselves to furnish period
ical crops ad tIginttum, without expense
or cultivatiOn and demonstrates the absO-
lutte necessity of unremitting supervision
and care to avert their early decay. In
Germany, where the greatest attention has
been officially paid to forest conservancy,
the surplus annual yield of wood becomes
the exclusive property of the community
to devote to their own orpublic purposes,
and hence the people accord their spon-
taneous and earnest support to the forest
officers. In other countries, especially
Austria and Great Britain, as we'll as in
Germany, these communal forests have
been brought under government superin-
tendence, and have been successfully sur
veyed, mapped and divided up, and work
ing plans devised for their administra.
ton.
1t may not be practicable to carry out
the German or Indian system with such
signal success in the United States; but
it is evident Congressional legislation
may do a vast deal toward mitigating the
abuses of decreasing. We should rigidly
reserve to the nation every right now ex
listing over the great Western and North
western woodlands, and not devote one
acre to the rapacious railroads which
promise so much but do so little to re
quite the enormous grants on which they
have fattened. State and municipal legis
lation, too, can be made to reach many
| forest districts and wooded spots, no
under Congressional control. But if the
people at large were intelligently in
| formed as to the necessity of shielding
and nursing the venerable trees anC
woods which form the natural covering
| of the soil, which attract the fertilizins
rain shower, and detain it on the eartl
long enough for it to percolate, the mali
point would be gained, and the work o
the legislator would then be PRACTICAL,

Forest Management.

THIS interesting and little understood
subject, now felt to he of national impor-
lance, has recently been most SUCCESSFULLY
elucidatcd by distinguished English
official, the conservator of forests in
India. So little is known of forestry that,
until lately, the idea of placing the ab0-
riginal forests under the shield of Govern
ment protection has not been entertained.
We NOW begin to discover the necessity
of some legislation To this end. Last win
ter it was observed that the fierce frigid
winds of the northwest, passing far be-
yond their wonted southern limit, swept
through the Mississippi Val n and pen
etrated unretarded and uno prbsed to the
Gulf of Mexico-a phenomenon that sur
priscd the oldest Inhabitants and which
was explained by the extensive deforest-
ing of the intervening States. The rapid

the recognized leader of the dominant
party in the House. That such man
should venture to state disagreeable facts,
facts not rejecting the highest credit upon
the party in power-was startling 10 men
who know that they will be politically
dead and past all hope of resurrection
when their party dies. 1t is past the com.
prehension of these men how good
Republican" and party "leader" could
be so honest, or, rather, SO indiscreet, as
to state facts which can be used effectively
against his party on the stump. A wash
ington special to the Times says 1t is adj
mitted by the Republicans that MIR. Dawes
has furnished the opposition with all
the facts and figures they require for use
against the Republican party in next falls
elections" and that he has impcriled
the success of the Administration in the
spring elections in New Hampshire
and Connecticut" That is what is
startling" 1t is startling that the
"leadcr of the House" should tell the
truth about his own party. That is all.
But it is not clearly apparent why even
this should be so very startling. 1t is not
clearly apparent why statements made by
Mr.. Dawes should be more damaging TO
the Republican party than substantially
the same facts stated by Mr.. Richardson.
The latter is as much Republican and
as conspicuous Republican as the
former, and his statements are rather
more likely to be trustworthy withal,
because he is in position to know more
about the state of the Treasury. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the Republicans
should be as much startled by the conduct
of Mr. Richardson as by that of MIR.
Dawes. And if they are to depose MIR.
Dawes from the leadership, and from the
Craftsmanship of the leading committee,
and put some one in his place who will
suppress facts for the good of his party, il
Mr.. Richardson and put in his place some
man who will render a like service.

SIX MILILoNs--About two years ago,
DIR. J. WALKER, an old and prominent
physician of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system, a
medicine which may honestly be termed
"a boon to suffering humanity" Being a
combination of herbalistic extracts, pun
gent and sour to the taste. and yet pos
sessed of gentle cumulative characters
tics-although entirely free from alcohol
he named it VINEGAR BITTERs, and
despite the prejudice existing among his
profession, against all patented medicines,
he determined to brave the .ieers Of his
brother practitioners, and give TO suffer
ing humanity the benefit of his accidental
discovery. He did so, and the benefits
from its use became known. The de
mand increased, and immense quantities
were sold, at a merely nominal price. Its
merit is told in the fact that "in two years
over SIX MILLIONS of bottles have been
sOld;" and still the demand increases.
Surely such a man should be ranked
among the benefactors of the human race.

the one recently made by Mr.. Dawes.
What was there startling about it? There
was certainly nothing very startling in the
matter of the speech, since the essential
facts stated by Mr.. Dawes have long been
known to the newspaper-reading public,
if not to members of Congress. One OF
the most startling" facts stated was that
the ordinary expenditures were greater
last year than the year before, and thai
they would be greater this year than last.
But this fact was very well known before
the adjournment of the last Congress, and
was clearly presented in the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury made two
months and n half ago.
Another of the facts stated by Mr..
Dawes was paying out considerable sums
tor the maintenance of a large number
of useless ports of entry. This, too, is a
fact not now for the first time made pub
lie. 1t has been conspicuous in the Gus
tom House reports for years, and has
often been commented upon by the press.
That large sums have been expended in
the erection of public buildings is an
other OF the facts stated by Mr.. Dawes.
This, too, is a fact which has long been
well known to every intelligent citizen.
Another statement made by Mr. Dawes
was that there was likely to be little or
no money left in the Treasury by the end
of the current year. But Mr. Richardson
informed Congress on the 1st of Decem-
Der that the revenues for the current year
would fall,$13, $4,000 short of the expen-
ditures, and not long afterward he asked
Congress to levy more taxes for the rea-
son that otherwise there would be a de-
hciency of $40 100000.
And SO on through the list. In details Mr..
Dawes differs somewhat from Mr. Richard
son, but not one of his essential facts is new
ter1, tn ha ctn tn ha
startled was when Congress voted away
the public money SO recklessly, and when
the Secretary of the Treasury made pub
lie the fact that unless something WAS
done 10 replenish the Treasury there
would be a deficit at the end of the year.
What, then, was there startling about
Mr.. Dawes speech? Simply this. That it
was made by Republican, the Chairman
OF the Ways and Means Committee, and
