I Forgot.

There is no excuse for neglect of
duty more common, or more unsatis-
factory to those hearing it, than l
forgot" Whether the torgetfulness
comes from carelessness, inattention,
or weakness of the power of memory,
the result is the same, and the loss or
damage therefrom is no less than it
would be if the neglect was premed-
itated and intentional. If a boy for
gets to shut a gate, stray cattle can
come through and destroy to the
same extent as if the mode of ingress
was Intentionally provided for them
by some tramp, whose latent " Gus
sedness" had been made active by the
refusal of a square meal or nights
lodging.
The switchman of a railroad sta
ton who torgets to fix his lever pro-
perly and allows the incoming train
to rush on to destruction, has not the
guilt of intentional murder on his
soul; but the inevitable law of force
works no less destruction to life and
property than if he had done it with
malice prepense.
To overcome the habit of forget
fulness, for it is to great extent hab-
it, is to a degree, at least, in the
power of every one. He who is not
an idiot has faculty of memory, and
the strength of any faculty can, by
exercise and cultivation, be increased.
Those who do not endeavor to cult
vate it are guilty of culpable neglect,
and should not be allowed to plead
forgetfulness IN palliation of any
omission or neglect.
We know clergyman whose pow
er of memory is SO great as to seem
really wonderful, the result almost
entirely of cultivation. In fact, we
have heard him say that when he
was young he was SO torgetful as to
be constantly under cloud in con-
sequence. One day, when something
more serious than usual had resulted
from this failing, he determined to
overcome it, and from that moment
resolved that his memory should do
for him its appointed work, and for
ced it into action. He allowed him
self to make no more memorandum
or aids to memory, but determined
that the faculty should work for his
assistance. The result is he has but
few equals in the country in this re-
spect.
Different from this is a gentleman
who lives on one of the uptown av-
'enues in New York, and who, for the
last ten years, has, Immediately after
breakfast, made list in his note
book Of "Things to be done" always
heading the list with "Buy 2ri-
bune."
No one knows the strength of any
of his powers, physical or mental, I'M
til it is tested. Winship, known the
world over as the strong man, came
to be so only by daily exercise IN
lifting weights, gradually increasing
them as his muscular power devel-
oped; and other examples of increase
Of physical strength not so striking,
perhaps, but sufficiently SO to attract
notice, are common all about us.
The mental powers are subject to
the same laws regulating growth as
are the physical, and are as easily
cultivated. Whose then the fault if
he is forgettul? or with what reason
can he urge as an excuse for neglect
that phrase of self-condemnation, /
forgot? "-Rur0I Neac Yorker.

Feeding Young Calves.

AS we have seen, fresh milk is the
best food for the young calf, and the
most natural method of taking it IS
for the calf to draw it from the I'D
der of its mother. But there are
many considerations that come in to
prevent this natural method among
the 100000 dairymen of the United
States. This natural method is only
practicable among the breeders of
pure-blooded and hlgh-priced stock
and if such breeder of high blood
is located in a dairying district where
milk is valuable, it is quite unneces-
sary that he should feed new milk
longer than two months. After that
period the calf may be fed upon the
skim milk and linseed or flax seed
Cruel with an excellent chance of
growing Il prize animal. In two
months the calf will have made an
excellent start and be ready for the
modified diet. And if the calf is TO
be taught to drink, it is better to do
this when ten days or two weeks old.
1t will learn easier at that age than
later, and the COW will give more milk
through the season than if the calf is
permitted to suck longer. The milk
being fed warm from the mother, the
calf will make a growth not percep-
tibly different from one that sucks.
This blooded calf should have the
free run of a dry yard, with a little
hay or grass to eat, that it may early
develop its first stomach and chew
its cud. A small field of grass in
summer is still better. When the
time comes for feeding skim milk,
the ration may be made about as nu-
tritlous as the new milk by adding
to it flax seed Cruel, made by boiling
q pint of flax seed and 4 pint of oil
meal in ten or twelve quarts of water.
Mix this in equal parts with skim
milk and feed blood warm. Let the
calf have its fill twice per day, at
regular times, until six months old.
During this time teach it to eat few
oats, and in case Of a tendency to
scour, give, for mea! or two, in the
milk, quart of coarse wheat -four,
sometimes called by farmers camel.
1t will be perceived that the oil Of
the flax seed will make good the loss
OF the cream IN the milk-in fact it
is ration as rich as milk itself; and
we have seen calves raised upon it
quite the equal OF calves running
with the dam. We have also used
flax seed and pea meal to make the
Cruel to mix with the skim milk, and
1t has proved an excellent combina-
tion.- Cor. National Liue Stock,

Effect of Cold Storms on Poultry.
Rural New Yorker.

Rural New Orker.
Each season of the year brings its
special work and care, demanding the
attention of the keepers of poultry.
Excepting the first bleak Autumn
storms, no period of the year is so
trying to the constitution of fowls as
cold, spring rain storms. Birds that
have stood the severity of winter
without any apparent signs of dis
ease, often succumb to the effects of
a chilly rain storm. The germs Of
disease, however, are sometimes con-
tracted during confinement in winter
and the sudden change of weather,
experienced during a cold ram, will
develop the malady, which is likely
to become contagious. Fowls that
have been highly fed and kept warm
to induce laying, will, like a forced
plant, be too tender to stand neglect
during the early drenching rains that
penetrate to their very skins.
The danger need not be feared,
however, by those who will take
little extra care of their stock during
such weather. AS soon as the earth
softens under the first mild breath of
spring, fowls are all awake to the
prospect of getting worms and other
insects from the ground. They will
then be off, prowling about before it
is light enough even to see their
prey, but as they evidently know that
the early bird catches the worm, they
are on the ground betimes. Perhaps
the next day there is severe change
in the weather, with sleet or rain, land
you will see the birds hunting about
in hopes of finding insects, till they
get soaking wet through their feath-
ers, and If not well cared for this Of
ten proves fatal.
Most fancicrs have noticed that a
cold storm frequently stops hens from
laying for week. Now, this delay
and risk of sickness may often be
prevented by giving them a liberal
mess of soft, warm food, with little
cayenne pepper in it. TO this should
be added generous amount OF ami
NAL food, either scraps or haslets, to
take the place of the supply of
worms, which is stopped when the
fowls cannot get out. With this lit
tie extra care, hens will often keep
on laying, retain perfect health, and
be profitable to their keepcrs.-R~-
raj Ne,o Yorker.
A new regulation in Chicago re-
qulres fruit to be sold in packages of
the capacity of barrel, bushel, or
some aliquot part thereof. The pack
ages in which shippers send fruit to
this market do not come within the
meaning of the regulation, and the
commission men are struggling with
the problem. The boxes are all made
