A Question Of Fire.

From Harpers Drawer
A husband and wife were having
one of those arguments which occa.
sionally interrupt the harmony of mar.
ried life. He grumbled because there
was not better fire in the room, and
declared that she always was just so
stingy in regard to the use of fuel.
She rather admitted her general par
TALLY for economy in the direction re
ferred 70, but at the same time she
asserted that she was the subject of a
great improvement in the specific
point then under discussion. For
proof on her part, she went on to
state that when her first husband was
very sick (he did not recovery she
really felt some reluctance to having
a fire of sufficient capacity to make
things entirely comfortable. ''But, -
said she, "when my second dear de-
parted was in his last sickness, I had
such fire as no reasonable man could
find any fault with. And,'' she con.
tinued, "when your time comes to lie
in that bed, with no hope of ever ris.
ing from it, l shall have a first.rate
fire, as hot as-why. so hot that you
will hardly know the difference when
you're dead.'

Raising Calves.

Like everything else pertaining to a
farm. raising calves requires good judg.
ment and experience. It is best al
ways to leave the calf with the COW
several days, until the fever is out of
the bag and the milk good for family
use, and with proper management the
calf can be easily taught to drink milk
when four of five days old. 1t is i'm.
portant that the calf should take its
first sustenance from the COW, to en-.
able it to discharge the fetal nutri-
ment in its stomach and bowels, and to
give it strength for its future develop

Scenes on Russian Railroads.

North or South there is scarcely any
difference between the aspect of a
Russian station. For hundreds of versts
you have been jolting through fiat
or slightly undllating series Of enor-
nous snow-cla4l plain. Stunted birch,
fir and larch are all the flora you per-
ceive. You never set eyes upon a
town--one, mean, with smoke curl
ing from the chimneys, with women
peeping from the easements, with
children playing on the doorsteps,
with dogs or poultry at the street ends.
For strategic reasons the railway
has been made to run as straight as an
arrow from a Tartar's bow from one
great point to another of military van
tage. They say that when the Gar
Nicholas was deferentially consulted
as to the direction which the St. Peters
burg and Moscow Railway should fol-
low, his Majesty simply took a pencil
and ruler and struck a straight line
on the map from the new to the old
metropolis of his empire: and the con-
sequence of this infexible militarism
as applied to civil engineering is that
the majority OF Russian towns are two
or three miles distant from the rail.
way stations which bear their names.
The platform and its appurtenances
are isolated in the midst Of a snowy
waste. Roundabout you are gathered
a few sheds and wooden cabins, to-
gether with vast piles of roughly -hewn
logs for fuel. That is all, save the
signal-boxes, which look either like
gibbets with packing-cases instead Of
corpses suspended from them, or pack
ing-cases without gibbets.
Women are often employed in sig
nalins, and wretchedly unwomanly

tine proportions in canvas bandages,
cross gartered with strings of untan-
ned leather. These, with heavy clogs
of wood, complete the costume of the
anomalous creature, who mechanical
ly waves a battered black or ragged
yellow flag as the train passes, and
makes us wonder whether Mother Eve
could ever have realized the possibil-
ity of her daughters being put to such
base uses as these.

How to Treat MischievOus Children.

Here is little child, who is great
tease and trouble. He is always ask
ing to do this or that impossible or
unpermissible action. He bursts in
abruptly upon the conversation of his
seniors. He destroys all peace in the
house by shouts and screams, imper-
ious demands on the time and atten-
ton of every ones affairs. He is an
imp of mischief, breaking furniture,
ovLrturning inkstands on the carpet,
setting fire to valuable papers, driving
nails into the furniture. How shall
you abate this nuisance You may
try to destroy ali these bad habits by
scolding him, by rebukes, by lectures,
by punishment. That is one way but
not the best. These bad habits often
spring from an instinct of activity, an
intense desire to do something, which
the Creator has given the child as a
means of mental and moral growth.
In trying to pull up the tares. you are
in great danger of roofing out the
wheat, also. If you succeed by force
in changing his disagreeable torment
of perpetual activity into dull quiet,
you have changed a bright boy into a
dull one. A better way than destroy.
ing this tendency is to fulfill it ny Civ.
ing him plenty of occupation of an in.
nocent kind. Give him a heap of
sand to dig, blocks of wood to build
houses with, a box of tools and boards
to saw. Set him at some work useful
or interesting, or, at least harmless.
He will like all this better than he
likes mischief. All his irregular &C.
tivity was cry for something to do.

Raising And Feeding Swine.

Raising And Feeding Swine.
If one thing needs reforming more
than another it is the manner of rails
ing and feeding swine. From the day
they are large enough to eat they are
offered all manner of refuse about the
place, such as rank weeds, filthy Stops,
spoiled vegetables and meats, dead
fowl, etc. They are allowed to rum
mage the dungyard and CLEAN the re.
fuse If food in the faces of cattle and
horses, on the ground of economy. But
we imagine that the quantity of food
saved In this way is very insignificant
not to exceed the value of a bushel of
shelled corn year among the whole
stock of an ordinary-siZed farm. The
objections to the practice of keeping
swine in this way are so serious, how
ever, that the reasons in favor of it
have no force at all. The origin of the
trichinosis in swine may be always
traced to the consumption of vile stuffs
in the food, or being housed and
yarded amid filth and foul air. Inter-
ests as dear as health and life require
a thorough reform in keeping swine.
Let their food be as pure as that which
other animals consume; let them be
kept in clean quarters and have pure
air, let diseased or unthrifty animals
be separated from those in health, and
we may have no fears of trichinosis
among either swine or human beings.
The merry jingle of the sleigh bells,
the sparkle OF the crystal snow in the
lambert light of the moon, and the
confiding creature that nestles closely
to him beneath the buffalo robes,
tenderly clasping his left hand in hers
while his right holds the reins, con-
stitute the winter nights poem that
is floating through the doting lovers

ment. If calf is of no value to rear,
OF if the milk is worth more than the
cost of feeding four or FIVE weeks for
the butcher, it should be killed as
soon as the milk becomes good, but if
it is to be raised, it should have pure
milk for about ten days, when little
skinned milk may be added to the un-
skinned by degrees, till it may be
fed entirely on skinned milk. 1t has
been shown by abundant tests that
calves will thrive as we'll on the
poorest butter.producing milk as ON
the best: consequently, if a farmer
has any COWS which give poor milk,
that should be fed to calves, because
it is not the cream that nourishes
them so much as other properties of
the milk. When four or five weeks
old they may be fed on buttermilk.
It is good management to feed calves,
in connection with their milk, when
about ten days old, a little cooked
meal. At first, take nearly table,
spoonful of Indian, oat, or barley meal,
and cook it with a little water; then
mix it with the milk, and increase che
quantity of meal as the calves grow
older. Flax-seed boiled to jelly and
mixed with milk, when the calves are
10 days old, is good for them. 1t is
poor policy to stint calves which are
worth raising, as their future develop.
ment as good cows depends in a great
degree on the manner in which they
are treated when calves. Let them be
fed three times a day at regular hours,
and as much as will satisfy them, and
in the end their owners will never be
losers by so. doing. Look at the poor I'M
slightly animals in the yards of farm
ers who half starve their calves to
save few cents, and you have ocu-
lar demonstration of what stinting
calves in their feed will do.
When calves are old enough to begin
to eat hay or grass, if confined to
stable or yard, little fine, sweet hay,
or grass, should be placed within their
reach. It may be tied with {; cord,
and suspended where they can nibble
at it, and in few weeks, when about
four months old, they may be turned
out to pasture, still giving them Il lit
tie meal and water once a day for a
week or two. They should have fresh
water in their pasture, which should
produce an abundance of good grass,
and they will go into winter quarters
in fine condition. Then, let them be
fed on good, fine sweet hay, with fod-
der corn (sweet) cut and cured as soon
as it begins to tassel and little meal
of any kind and when they are two or
three years old, you will have stock
that you will not be ashamed to have
your neighbors see. Even the milk
that such COWS will give, will be much
more than if they were poorly fed
when calves. There is no use in a.
farmer expecting to raise fine stock of
any kind, unless he attends thoroughly
to their wants through all the stages
of their growth. If he grows a good
crop of corn, it must be fed, and the
weeds exterminated-no halfway
work and the same rule applies to
his live stock.
