We take the calves from the COWS when
SIX days old. and feed them on two quarts
Of new milk three times a day until they
are four weeks old. The fifth week we
gradually reduce the quantity Of new milk
and add skinned milk increasing the guam
tity 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 months old
they are ted on porridge prepared as tol-
lows; Half a pint of oatmeal, one gill OF
cracked wheat; boiled one hour in six
quarts Of water; in cool weather day s
allowance may be cooked at time. 10
two quarts of this add two quarts of Skim
a day. The milk should be gently warmed
to about the temperature OF new milk,
taking care not to scald it as it will pro-
duce collie. Il 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 until
they are ten weeks old, then gradually
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
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 cribfull of early-cut OF 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 eleven
weeks old their average weight is 230
pounds. THE Cultivator.

some unusually excellent samples of

with clover and fed off by cattle three

A Love Song.

Your eyes shall sing to mine

Or bid its answer come;
For lips are silent when they kiss.
And meeting hearts are dumb.

On mine your being flows:

Oh, hide them on your breast,

The Grandest Star.

The great ''dog-star' which the tancilul
scheme Of astrology claimed to rule the
season still known as dog days, Is a
sphere Of immense volume, and OF almost
inconceivable distance and brightness lis

equal to that OF three hundred suns like
ours, and its volume sufficient to make
two thousand luminaries as large as our
orb of day The Hartford Times, in re-
view Of one of Prof. Proctor's recent
books says
The King of Suns is the magnificent
Sirius-that splendid star OF The south

ANCIENT RINGS. One of the most inter-
esting of the historical rings that have
come down to our times is the signet one
ot Mary, Queen of Scots, which is now in
tae British Museum The general opinion
is that this was her nuptial ring when she
was married to Darnlv Another cele-
brated ring j. the one Queen Elizabeth is
supposed to nave sent to the Earl Of Essex,
but which. a. all know, he failed to receive.
1t is of gold, with the Queens head cut on
onyx, and is now in the possession of the
Rev. Lord John Thyme, decendent from
EsseXs daughter. In 1765, in the prison
where John Bunyan was once confined,
was found a ring bearing his initials, u

ton over matters peculiar to this sect,

trolled by it) to the United States Courts,
the tenets and acts of the Mormons are
being thoroughly overhauled and rough
IL handled. Judge MCKEAN, at present
holding his Court in Utah Territory, in
his recent charge to the Grand Jury, call
ed especial attention to the acts commit
ted BY BRIGHAM You've, charging him
and his chief apostles with all manner of
crime: robbery, murder and polygsmy.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

On the third of November twenty-three
States, viz: Alabama, Arkansas, Della
ware. Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
cmsetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nevada, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin, hold
elections.
The present House of Representatives
is composed of 292 members. OF this
number there are 1893 Radicals, 50 Demo
Gratis, and 4 Liberal Republicans, making
a total opposition of %. In order
that the Democrats shall tie the
Republicans in the lower House of the
next Congress, they must gain 5S MEM
bers. Of these IA have already been
gained in Ohio. Indiana West Virginia
and Iowa; ~ are confidently cosnted on
rs follows: Tennessee 4, Virginia =,
North Carolina 2, Alabama !, Louisiana
=, Georgia l, leaving only 81 to be gained
from the remaining seventeen States
which hold elections next month.
Taking it altogether, the chances are
decidedly in favor of very respectable
Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives ofthe 44th Congress.

ROREMAN,s SUCCESSOR.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Lewisburgh, West
Virginia, on the day before our late
elections, thus refers to the Senatorial
question:
The next Legislature will be called
upon to elect United States Senator to
succeed Senator Foreman, and Demo-
crat will be chosen, as that body will be
largely Democratic. There will not be
more than two Republicans in the Senate
and not dozen in the House. The
Senate consists of twenty-four members
and the House of sixty-fve. There are
great many politicians looming up all
over the State as candidates for this posi-
ton, prominent among whom are Allan
Tapertin, who was one of Virginias
Senators in the Confederate Congress;
Judge Raymond and j. n. Camden.
Besides these, others of less prominence
are spoken of. Mr.. Camden,s
chances are now considered the
most hopeful, and as he has a strong
hold on his party his claims will
no doubt be vigorously pressed. lie was
the Democratic nominee in 1872 for Gov
ernor, and was the only candidate on the
ticket not elected. He was defeated by
Governor Jacob, an independent Demo
crat and the then Executive of the State.
Mr.. Camden has, perhaps, done more to
organize, discipline and strengthen his
party than any other man in the State.
He is young man (about forty of fine
sense, great energy; the highest charac-
ter, liberal views and is thoroughly devo-
ted to his State. The Republicans, of
course, have no hope of electing Sena-
tor. Their policy will. be to prevent AS
many Democrats as possible from going
into the nominating caucus, with view
of aiding to elect an independent Demo-
crat.

noon, brings the gratifying intelligence
that JACOB b. JACKSON, Esq, is elected

gives him three majority. Good enough.

As Mr.. WILLIAMSON, of Pleasants,
had one vote less than HUTCHINSON, of

give Wood all three ofthe delegates from
that Delegate District. JACKSON,

THE Herald thinks that the State of
West virginia's presenting solid, UNI
broken Democratic delegation TO Con-
cress is sufficient reason why General
GRANT should come out and deny that he
is candidate for reelection, "that is, if
he can deny it." Well said. GRANT is
no pollution. but he will never be fool
ish enough to tie his hands by making
any denials whatever, unless indeed he
finds the third term entirely beyond his
grasp.

CLARKSBURG, October IL, 1874.
Editors of the Register.
As subscriber to your valuable jour-
nal, have concluded to drop you line
in regard to the late election in the old
county of Harrison.
1t is true that so far as the Congress
sional vote of this county is concerned,
that the standard bearer of the Radical
party carried the victory by small ma
iority, but | apprehend it will be found
eventually that for county delegates we
are all right.
1t is also true that ! do not say this
much from authority, but my opinion is
based solely upon the facts connected
with the canvass. heard Mr.. Carlisle
make several speeches inthe canvass, and
in no instance did he ever advance II
Republican sentiment, but he did de-
nouncv so much of tho acts of the last
legislature as he regarded subversive of
the peoples interest.
Mr.. Carlisle was the candidate of no
party; he owes no party allegiance; and
to-day occupies the proud position of true
independence, which will enable him to
cast his votes for the people, and the
whole people, regardless of the party lash.
Young Carlisle during the entire can
vass give unmistakable evidence of tai
ents of very high order. For rhetori-
cal power, our county cannot furnish
speer, and for personal popularity the
result of the election shows most clearly
the high estimate in which our people re-
gard him, since it is true that he receiv-
ed the very largest vote polled IN this
populous and wealthy county.
Some, | believe, are jealous of him,
but the backbone of onr county are
proud of him ms their offspring, and |
predict in the discharge of his legislative
functions he will be found to be the
right youngster ut the right time in the
right place. DEMOCRAT.
