MANAGEMENr OF CALVES.

Every COW will prove to be a more
profitable animal, and it will be in
inensely better for her in every respect,
if she is allo y ed TO rear her own calf
until it is at least two months old. 1t
| Is natural for COW TO suckle her
young, and it is unnatural that the
al should not be allowed to take its
food from the udder of the dam. The
young animal should be allowed to
suckie the biestings-the first milk
drawn from the COWS udder-which
nature designs as its most Nutritious
and proper food, which is also medical,
cleansing the bowels OF the peDt up me-
cGnium or fecal matter secreted there
during its CONTINENT in the womb. 1t
should get sufficient portion CT this
naturally medicinal aliment four times
a day, say pint and Il half at time,
SO as not to keep it fasting too long, ,and
at the same time not to overload tie
stomach. The calf should get por-
ton of its own dams milk as long as
it retains peculiar medicinal quality,
which may be known by its coagula-
ting upon being heated or boiled; but
1lder calves should not be allowed to
eat the biestings, us 10 them it would
be injurious. If a calf is allowed to
suck the COW, drawing only partial
supply of necessary ynourishment, it can
he taught to drink from a pail with as
much facility as if it were not allowed
to suck at all.
When the calf is week old little
skim milk may be generally mixed
with the new milk, after fortnight, ii
little oatmeal, flour, Indian, bean, pea
or linseed meal mucilage may be add
ed gradually, which will enable the
industrious and economical housewife
to save her milk for the production of
butter or cheese, and rear her calves
also. But meal of all sorts of grain
should be cooked before il is mixed
with the milk fed to the young calf, or
the crude food may produce IL violent
attack of scours. Prof. johnson says,
in his Lectures on Agricultural Chem
istry," that while the calf is young, du-
ring the first two or three weeks, its
bones and muscles chiefly grow. 1t
requires the materials of these, there
fore, more than fat, and hence half the
milk it gets at first may be SKINNED,
and little bean meal may be mixed
with il, to add more of the casein or
curd, out of which the muscles are
formed. The costive effects of the bean
meal are to be guarded against by oc-
casional medicine, if requsred. In the
next stage more fat is necessary, and
in the third week, at latest, full milk
should be given, and more milk than
the mother supplies if the. calf requires
it,. or, instead of the cream, a less costly
kind of fat may be used. Oil-cake,
finely crushed, or linseed meal may
supply at a cheap rate fat which, in the
form of cream, sells for much money;
and instead of additional milk, bean
meal in large quantities may betried,
and if cautiously and skilfully used, the
best effects on the size of calf and the
firmness of the veal may be anticipa-
ted.-N. Y. Herald. !

OUR RAGRICULTURALPROsPECT.

The Department Of Agriculture has
received from all sections of the country
very fiattering accounts of the agricui-
turtl prospects of the coming year.
The panic of last fall does not seem to
have embarrassed the operations of the
farmer, as the average Of winter wheat
appears from present accounts to be
unusually large. The Department is
also in receipt of intelligence from the
grain producing and consuming centers
of the Old World, which show great
scarcity, and a particularly short crop
in the grain growing regions of the
Black Sea. This and the United States
constitute the main dependence of Eng
land and other European countries for
their supply of cereals. Our own sup
ply is sufiic. ent to meet this increased
demand. The reports of the Depart
ment received since the last monthly
statement, show all excess of 80, 900, 900
bushels of wheat over the crop of last
year. In that year the excess was 45,-
000, 600, which makes seventy-five mil
lion bushels for the foreign demands.
The reports of the Department show a
very favorable movement of last years
crop.

Who have wept in silence long,
At the terrible on-coming,
OF this Raven-winged wrong.
Now God is leading on.

And will never beat retreat,
While the banner of the rum-fiend

And his hellish snares are waiting,

With united prayers and cries,
Till the strongholds shall be shaken
And the foe defeated lies,
Who has slain his many thousands
OF the strong ones and the wise.
For God will lead them on.
They have looked to laws enforcement,
For the help that never came,
Now, God hath surely kindled
In their hearts undying flame,
Aad relying on His spirit,
They shall conquer in His name,
For He is leading on.
For the future of their dear ones,
For their country's power and pride,

Of the past, whose pains abide,
They are working, weeping, praying
In their weakness side by side,

POTTING TUBEROSES.

POTTING TUDEROSES.
Seldom do we succeed in getting al
the tuberoses planted in spring to finish
blooming before frosts. In our North
ern climate the seasons are too short to
get the full benefit of these plants I'M
less the tuberoses are started in the
horuse or hot-beds early in spring. Al
though my earliest started plants have
nearly finished blooming, there are
still many others upon which the first
flowers have not opened, and TO secure
these l have lifted the plants and put
them in goodsized pots and set them
in the house. For the iirst t II or three
days after potting. the plants should
be placed in dark or very shady place
to prevent whiting, and permit the
roots to take hold of the soil before be-
ing called upon to supply the leaves
and stems with any considerable
amount of sap. With very little Care
in lifting the plants the soil can be re-
tanned in ball about the roots, and the
moving will not check the blooming
but very little, if any. Our florists
practice thisystem quite extensively
and the tuberuse flowers command {;
good price about the holidays.-[ Rural

Early Cultivation of the OYSTER.

Successful Pursuit of Robbers.

1t is year and half, nearly, since a
desperate robbery was committed upon
an old Greek Indian near North Fork
Station in the Indian country. cold
Man Grayson," as the victim of this
robbery was called, had collected about
$4,000 in gold, which he kept secreted
in his house. One night two men,
travel-stained and weary, implored his
hospitality and received it. That night
the others joined them, and after hang
ing Grayson by the neck four or five
times till he was nearly dead, extorted
from him description of his private
bank. They took every coin he had
saved and made off, Justice has been
in weary pursuit of the gang ever since,
and is just beginning to overtake it,
One member a man named Reed, one
of the most dangerous of highwaymen,
was killed by an officer after desperate
struggle, in which his wife joined,
fighting with the ferocity of a tigress.
A second, named Wilder, one Of the
Missouri gang, has been captured, after
receiving four or five dangerous wounds,
but the remainder of the party still
roam at large, to the disgrace of Texas
and Missouri, where they carry on their
lawless occupation.
