RAISING CALvEs.-The point We wish
to ask the attention of stock growers to
is, does the feed and treatment of a
calf have an influence on its future
character? There are those who be-
lieve that the milking qualities of COW
are influenced by the manner of feed
ing the calf up to the time of coming in
milk, and our experience comedies with
this view. To illustrate our meaning,
We believe that a calf that sucks the
COW and is full fed, say kept fat for the
first three months or longer, or up to
the time of coming into milk, will not
be so likely to prove as good mixer
as though she had only been kept in
good growing condition ; and the rea-
son is that this high condition does
not develop the milk giving organs as
will good, fair keeping. This is illus
trated in cows who run to flesh in milk.
For this reason we prefer to raise calves
intended for mixers by teaching them
to drink from the pail, and do it mostly
on SKINNED or sour milk. There is
philosophy in breeding for the dairy.
If that is what we desire, or if for the
shambles, lay on the fat, or so feed as
to develop this propensity.

Agricultural.

CLEANING STUBBLE LAND.-The far
mer who has field which las grown
wheat, or barley, or oats this year, ard
is not seeded down, and which is not
to be sown with any crop until next
spring, has an opportunity of cleaning
his land, that should on no account be
neglected. The English farmers seldom
seed down their land with wheat. At
ter the wheat is harvested, they harrow
the land, or tear it to pieces with three
or four horse cultivator or "grubber. "
This pulls out the roots of quack-grass,
and start the seeds of other weeds.
The field is afterwsrd plowed, when,
of course, all the young weed plants
are destroyed. The grubber is kept at
work as often as necessary to clean and
mellow the land. The next spring this
land is sown to turnips or mangels, or,
on heavy land, to beans or barley. 1t
is said that this autumn cleaning of
stubble land by the free use of the
grubber, especially when operated by
the all powerful steam engine, in one
of the greatest agricultural improve
ments of the age.
What is true of English farming,
might be still more enphatically true
of American Agriculture. Our Au-
tumns are longer, and drier, and hotter
than they are in England, and We have
a better opportunity to clean our land,
while there is certainly greater neces-
sity.-Our fields are fearfully foul with
all kinds of weeds, and in many instan-
ces they are annually gaining a stron-
ger foothold. We must fight, if we
would win. 1t will not do to go on in
the old. With our drying winds and
hot sun we ought to have the cleanest
farms in the world-and sooner or later
such will be the case. We must kill
weeds by the Wholesale. 1t will not do
to depend on the hoe and the fingers.
Nature is never at rest. 1t will not do
to let land lay idle. When it is not oc-
cupied with growing crops, We should
be occupied in stirring the soil and kill
ing weeds. 1t is the great secret of
success in farming.

ANOTHER SUBSTITUTE FOR RSTEAM.-An
invention is now on exhibition in Liver
pool by which oil or glycerine is made
to perform the functions of steam, by
the same means-application of heat
which expands the oil placed in small
cylinders, from which it is claimed a
pressure of 10000 pounds per square
inch may be obtained without the
dangers of steam explosion, which pre-
vent using pressure of more than 200
pounds to the square inch generally.
In this case an explosion would only
crack the cylinder containing the oil. it
is claimed. The application of this
process has been made to a printing
press, and a punching and riveting
machine which are on exhibition.

invented. Imagine my genuine disgust

crook to capture the straying animals

DIsT1LLING SEA WHARF.-THE author
of book lately published in England,
entitled 1.-TWO Years in Peru" thus
describes simple contrivance recently
devised by an English resident of that
country for procuring fresh water from
sea water through the direct action OF
the suns rays:
"The apparatus consists of box OF
pine wood, l inch thick, and which is
about IA feet long, 2 feet wide, and an
average depth of 6 inches. The upper
part of this box is closed with ordinary
glass, which has an inclination of u
inches.
"At the lower edge of the glass, there
is semi-circular channel, destined to
receive the fresh water which is con-
densed on the interior surface of the
glass. The salt water is let into the
box to about l inch in depth. 1t is
then exposed to the rays of the sun,
the heat of which is sufficient to raise
it to 1902 or 1902 Fab. A very active
evaporation then begins, and it is
proved that 10l square feer of glass will
condense daily two gallons of pure
water"
The author says he saw the apparatus
in successful operation at Callao. There
are many places on the coast of Peru,
as in various other parts of the world,
where fresh water is only to be got by
distillation, and in such localities the
device cannot fail to be exceedingly
useful.

PURIFYING WATER.-It is not gene
rally known that pounded alum pos
sesses the property of purifying water.
A tablespoonful of pulverized alum
sprinkled into hogshead of water (the
water stirred at the time) will after the
lapse of few hours, by precipitating
to the bottom the impure particles, so
purify it that it will be found to pos
sess all the freshness and clearness of
the finest spring water. A pailfull
containing four gallons may be purified
by single teaspoonful.

Scientific.

The BENEFITS OF DECAY-The world
would soon be very badly cluttered up
if fruits and grains and roots and trees
and leaves should all remain, like so
many stones, undecayed, on its surface.
What heaps of apples would be piled
up in some orchards and where could
be found room for the weeds and other
debris of the gardens? {? There is Ger
tainly, at least in the warmer zones,
much greater amount of vegetable
matter produced than is eaten, either
by man or the lower animals, and it
would be rather difficult for us to
imagine the state of things that would
ensue if this should remain year after
year without decay. If trees did not
bury themselves to their branches in
their own leaves, there would yet be a
complete blockade of these productions
in some places. The ultimate and most
serious result of all this would be the
cessation of further growths on account
of the exhaustion of the soil. In many
respects, then, does this one provision
for the decay of vegetation meet the
wants of both the animal and the vege-
table world. Fruits and vegetables
grow, arrive at edible perfection, re-
main some time in that condition, and
then, if they are not eaten, they more
or less gradually return to the earth
from which they came, to enrich the
soil for still another growth, fresh and
sweet and abundant. So we may fairly
conclude, that in spite of the. fact that
our favorite fruits and vegetables de-
cay quickly, the entire plan is wisely
ordered for our comfort, convenience,
and even economy.

MKAT JRLLIEs FOR Pies AND SAUCES.
"A very fine meat jelly is easily made
by stewing slowly down equal parts OF
shin of beef and knuckle or neck of q
veal, with a pint of cold water to each
pound of meat I; but to give it flavor
some thick slices of lean, unboiled ham
should be added to it, two or three
carrots, spice, a bunch of parsley, a
mild onion, and moderate quantity of
salt, or part of the meat may be omitted,
and calf's head very advantageously
substituted for it, though the flavoring
must then be heightened, because,
though very gelatinous, these are in
themselves exceedingly insipid. II
rapidly boiled the Jelly will not be clear,
and it will be difficult to render it SO
without clarifying it with the whites of
eggs, which it ought never to require
if very gently stewed on the contrary,
it will only need to be passed through
fine sieve, or cloth. The fat must be
carefully removed after it is quite cold.
The shin of beef should be from the
middle of the leg of young heifer, not
that which is large and coarse.
VENTILATING Roohs.-The question
of ventilation depends upon very many
contingencies which must all be taken
into account. Cast iron pipes and fur
naces are injurious, because when red
hot carbonic acid gas passes freely
through their sides. Generally, venti-
lation must be from above and below
at the same time, because there cannot
be free flow of air outward without
free flow inward. A good plan is to
admit a current of cold air at the top of
the room by one pipe and emit the
heated air by another pipe. The cold
air in its descent to the floor becomes
warmed by contact with the upward
current, and the heat of the room is
equalized. To escape drafts the air
should be admitted through pipe
pierced with small holes passing around
the cornice of the ceiling. In this way
a multitude of small currents are OBJ
tanned, which are soon lost in the at
mosphere of the room and sink down
imperceptibly. Thus the whole body
of air is cooled slowly but steadily and
equally.
