A Too Vigorous Memory.

The late DR.. Mercer, though one OF
the kindest and most amiable of gentle
men, possessed keen and graceful wit
by which he often hit off very happily
the foibles of gentlemen with whom he
was brought into contact. An illustra-
tiQn of tins gift of the good old philan
thropist has recently been related, to the
great amusement of gentlemen who were
familiar with the characteristics of the
gentleman who was the object of the
doctors raillery. 1t was during his last
illness, when the doctor was wont to con.
verse very freely with his old friends,
the companions Of his early days. One
Of these happening to refer with much
feeling and grateful pathos to the kind
ness manifested to him by the doctor
when he 1.-THE visitor) was boy, the old
gentleman in feeble voice, remarked :
"Oh, yes! remember, D., when you
and your brother George were little boys,
and used to come and see me very often,
and l always had large, nice apple for
each of you!" We'll do l recolfect it,"
replied the doctors young friend, with
great emotion. "And do You also recol-
lect, D., that you used toeat half of
Georges apple and hide your owns" The
gentleman Intercepted was not SO
distinct in his "reminiscences on this
point, nor SO demonstrative in his regret
full emotions. And" continued the ven
cradle gentleman, shave you not, D.,
through life been consistent with this
juvenile exhibition Of yourlcading trait?"
There was perfect silcnce-no response
and the old gentleman passed to other
,subjects-Neao Orleans Pscayune.

Shaker Plan Of Raising Calves.

One of the Shaker brotherhood gave tt
a correspondent Of the Country Gentleman
the plan of raising calves pursued al
Shaker Village, in Merrimac County
N. H.:
We take the calves from the cows when
six days old and feed them on two quarts
OF new milk three times day, until they
are four weeks old. The fifth week we
gradually reduce the quantity of new
milk and add skinned milk, increasing
the quantity by the close of the week to
three parts at feeding. All the new
milk given to the calves should be taken
from their mothers.
From the time they are five weeks
until they are three months old they are
fed on porridge prepared as follows
Half o pint of oat meal, one gill OF
cracked wheat, boiled one hour in six
quarts Of water; in cool weather days
allowance may be cooked at time. To
two quarts Of this add two quarts Of
skinned milk, making four quarts three
times day. The milk should be gently
warmed to about the temperature of new
milk, taking care not to scald it, as ii
will produce collie. If calves incline to
scour, one or two raw eggs beat 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

Popular Manners.

A KNOT of commercial and financial
gentlemen, after having dined together
were chatting over their wine. One OF
them, however, man of large wealth
gathered chiefly in an enormous retail
dry goods establishment, was holding
forth upon subject as to which he
thought his knowledge and his financial
importance gave him the right to expect
deferential audience. But this being
rather habit, his table companions, by
mutual understanding, concerted at the
moment, did not give him the attention
that he expected, and turned and chat
ted with each other as the within took
them. Whereupon he, to insure proper
hearing for his remarks took out his
pencil and raped smartly two or three
times upon the table. C-c-c-cash" in
stantly responded notorious wag who
was OF the company; and the summons
of the great dry goods dealer did NO,
have exactly the effect which he in.
tended. The fun and the cutting satire
of the rebuff cannot be denied; and per.
haps it must be admitted that the suf
ferer by his assumption had laid himself
open to criticism if not to such rebuke
But still the incident is characteristic of
a style of manners not worthy of entire
admiration.-The GALAXY.

Our readers have been frequently ad-
vised of what has been done by Mr..
Lawes, of England, in the way of raising
repeated crops of grain upon the same
land year after year, both without and
with manure. But Mr. Lawes' labors
have been experimental. We have now
before us a report of the sales Of the
standing crops of wheat, oats and clover
upon two farms in England upon which
these crops have been raised successfully
for dozen years, and sold standing to
be cut and carted away by the pur-
chasers, both straw and grain together.
No stock is kept upon these farms. No
manure is used upon them. Deep plow
ing by steam and draining to further
deepen the soil are the only means by
which these crops are produced year
after year. One of these farms is owned
and cultivated by Mr.. Prout, of Saw
bridgeworth, and consists of $50 acres.
The present seasons crop was chiefly
wheat, which, sold by the acre as it stood,
realized from $45 to $50 per acre for
grain and straw. The purchaser in all
cases does the harvesting. The average
prices were, for wheat, $54.40 per acre I;
oats, $40 per acre, and clover, $50 per
acre. The whole proceeds of the $50
acres were $23, AL an average of $3.50
per acre. The average result of the past
seven years crops has been $5125 per
acre. The farm was purchased twelve
years ago and was then in poor condition.
1t was drained and $4,000 worth of chem
ical fertilizers were used, to bring it in
to producing state. Since then it
has been cultivated deeply by steam
each year, but no fertilizer has
been used, nor has the straw even
been retained upon the farm The other
farm is owned by Mr. Middleditch, of
Wiltshire 1t has been managed upon
the same plan. The crops upon this
farm brought from S1S to $S6 per acre,
or an average Of $50. The aftermath of
some fields of sanfoin, which were to be
pastured by sheep, sold for $40 to $19
per acre. There are 500 acres in this
farm. Both farms have clay soil, and
are fairly good wheat lands, but at the
commencement of this cropping were
much run down. The farmers who our
chased the crops, and some who had
taken them for several years, said that
those of the present year were the best
crops for several years, and MIR. Prout
expressed the opinion that he could thus
farm as long as he lived, and his son
after him" We do not pretend to make
any application of this anomalous kind
of farming, but merely give the facts.
At the same time we cannot refrain from
comparing it with some farms we have
seen in the rich valleys of Ohio and
westward, where for twenty years the
merest scratching of the deep, rich soil,
and the raising of wheat upon the I'M
plowed corn-stubble, year after year, has
made farmers comfortable, if not rich,
and thinking at the same time that it is
possible, if those rich lands were better
treated, and farmed more with the
pillow and less with the harrow, that they
might produce better crops than they
now do, and remain profitable to their
owners for an indefinite number of
years to come american Agriculturtst
