HEIFERs' CALVES FOR Cows.-Not
long since q correspondent inquired
about making COWS of heifers' calves, but
having seen no answer, | venture to give
him my observations and experience. I
believe it to be an established fact with
old farmers here that the "frst calf for
an OK" and the 'last calf for cow" are
true sayings. Quite young COWS develop
smartness, old. COWS laziness; in the for
mer muscle predominates, and in the lat
ter secretions. Two years ago I had q
very pretty calf from two-year-old
heifer-a perfect beauty-and in the fall,
while it was still cali, my little son took
it to. the fair and got a premium. This
spring she had a:calf, but the boy is sad
ly disappointed@he thinks he has paid
too much for the WHISTLE" for she does
not give over one quart of milk at time.
All the measuring and mealing will not
coax her to increase her milk much.
Her grandma was great milker, and
that is whyg1 saved the calf, but; T will
not be likely to save another heifer's calf
for COW. That same year we had
heifer calf from a very old COW; she has
also calved, and she gives common pail
two-thirds full every time. The milking
capacity of the two granddams was about
alike. 1 have had several other similar
cases come to my knowledge.

The DERvIsH AND THE CAvILER.-

A man came one day to a dervish and
laid before him three questions:
/. Why is it that God is everywhere
present? I don't see Him. Show me
where He is
2. Why is man to be punished for
his sins? he has no free will, since he
can do nothing against the will of God.
3. How can God punish Satan with
the fire of hell, since he is formed of
fire, flaming spirit? Fire cannot do
harm to fire.
Hereupon the dervish picked up q
large lump of earth and threw it with all
his might at the head of the questioner.
The poor man was startled at the striking
answer, and lodged complaint before
the Cadi. The Cadi summoned the
dervish and asked him:
"Why did you throw lump of earth
at this mans head, instead of giving an
answer to his questions
''It was my answer" replied the der
wish, "and the best answer could give
at once to all three questions:
i l. He says he has pain in his head.
I don't see it. Let him make me see the
pain in his head, and then I may try to
make him see God.
2. He then comes to you and lodges a
complaint of me. What ri ght has he to
do so? / have no free will and he has
no right to seek that I be punished, since
God permitted me to throw the earth at
him.
8. And then how can earth do harm to
earth? The man is made of earth
earth cannot do harm to earth, if fire
cannot do harm to fire."

COMPLICATED Casa ra

A COMPLICATED Casa rather
complicated case is about to come before
the courts at Frankfort-on-the- Oder. A
lively young boar was recently sent there
by rail from Custrin, carefully shut upin
q wooden cage. On the journey, how
ever, he managed to break his prison,
and devoured no less than twenty-five
pounds of German yeast, which hap
pened to be in the same carriage. The
condition of the misguided pig, when the
yeast began to rise, may be imagined.
he: was quite unable to bear his suddenly
acquired greatness, and gave up the
ghost in multitude of sighs, which is
quite explicable under the circumstances.
But now the question is who is to pay
the damage for what? The railway
company repudiates all responsibility.
Is the owner of the carcass to proceed
against the owner of the yeast for the loss
Of his boar, or is the ex-proprietor of the
yeast to proceed against the owner of the
pig for the loss of his merchandise
Eminent counsel hold that the claim of
both parties lies against the constructor
Of the cage; but the builder contends
that the cage was never calculated to
withstand the frantic efforts of a pig
stung into frenzy by the temptation Of
twenty-five pounds Of yeast placed under
his very nose.

, CURING SPAvIN.-I notice in recent
issue of this paper, some inquiries in
reference to curing spawn in a horse.
I have'never seen one cured so that the
bunch would be removed; but the lame
ness can often be permanently cured.
Rub the bunch daily with some irritant
like spirits of turpentine,. and half an
hour afterward rub lin well ordinary
mackerel or beef brine, heating it well,
after rubbing, with hot shovel. In a
week, or as soon as the part has become
sufficiently irritated and sore, omit all
treatment except a daily washing with
cold water. In several cases, this treat
ment may need to be repeated after a
weeks rest. The horse should be we'll
cared for, and not worked while being
treated.

= Reports from all parts of Ohio and
Indiana point to remarkable yield of
the grain crops. The condition Of wheat
is almost unprecedented. 1t is estimated
by farmers that the product will equal if
not exceed the memorable year of 1864.
A large acreage of corn is planted and is
doing finely. Slight frosts were expe-
rienced in some sections during the re-
cent cold spell, but the damage is incon-
siderable. The prospect of immense
crops of all kinds and high prices is max
ing the farmers buoyant and hopeful and
giving an impetus to trade in the cities.
= The Turkish soldier, who fights for
his country, receives only three cents a
a day.

FRESH MEAT.--Farmers are likely to
cook meat too soon: after the animal is
killed. The idea is that to get the meat
very fresh is to have it more wholesome
and "safe.." A cook in one of the great
French restaurants, either here or in Eu-
rope, never cook meat on the same day
when it is killed. 1t has not had time to
obtain consistency. A gourmand can
detect the faver of fresh" meat instantly.
Except in very warm weather meat
should be 'huug" in cool place at least
reasonable time. How frequently,
when company comes, the farmer hastily
kills chicken, and while the flesh is yet
warm plunges it into the pot. This is
what gives the sickish, "chickeny" flavor.
The English people hang their meat un-
til it begins to attain gamey flavor. Of
course no positive directions can be given
for a country so diversified as ours in
climate; but it may be safe to say that
meat should never be eaten on the same
day that the animal is killed. .l

A Sr1coEssFftL AND DEFEATED SWIM

A SUCCESSFUL AND DEFEATED SWIM
DLE.-The truth is that both Hayes and
Packard were beaten in this State fairly
and legally by majority averaging s.
900 votes. The difference between the
two is, thatthe American. people includ-
ing Messrs. ilden and Hendricks, were
willing tosacguiesce in the fraud, and so
acquiesced n the inauguration of Mr..
Hayes, while, the people of Louisiana
were resolved not to submit to the fraud,
even if they had to resort to revolution
to defeat it, and hence it was found i'm
possible to inaugurate Packard without
the aid of the army and navy. This is
the sole and only difference between
Hayes and Packard. Let Hayes say
what he may, Packard was as fairly
elected Governor of Louisiana as he was
elected President; and let Packard say
what he may, Hayes was elected Presi-
dent as fairly as he was elected Governor.
Both are frauds, the difference being that
one got away with the swindle, and the
other failed to do so.-M. o. Democrat.

GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD b.

VALUABLE HlNTs.-How to prevent
chickens from having the gapes. In many
localities it is next to impossible to raise
young chickens, from the fact that a large
part, and sometimes the whole brood,
will die with this disease. To prevent
this, it is only necessary to drop little
sweet-oil on the top of their heads
two or three times after they are week
old. The nits are laid on the top of the
chicks heads in a few days after they
are Matched; and when the insects hatch
and come forth, they crawl into the nose
and take their residence in the chickens
breath-pipe. Many Of the young die as
the result.
How to give medicine to swine. 1t is
often said that if anything ails hog they
will surely die, because nothing can be
given them. Nothing is farther from
the fact; indeed, there is no animal on
the farm to whom medicine can be ad-
ministered with so much safety. Turn
the animal upon his back, when he will
invariably open his mouth, and then is
the time to turn in the medicine. Too
much must not be turned in at once, or
the animal may draw it into his lungs
and expire almost instantaneously.
How to break horse from being bad
to catch. Whip him and club him and
pelt him as much as you will before you
catch him, but after you get him fully in
hand, give him two quarts of oats, curry
and brush him, and call him good fel-
low. and it will have visible impression
upon the the horses mind. He will soon
learn that two quarts of oats are better
than the pelting.
Now is the time to purify your chicken
houses to prevent disease. Burning sui
phur in the houses sprinkling with car
bolic acid; whitewashing with hot lime
cleansing out frequently; providing new
nests; providing literally with ashes,
charcoal, burnt oyster shells, lime, gravel
pure water, will aid in stopping or ward
ing off disease.

How TO DRILL IN CoRN.-The way
practiced is to raise all the drills but the
middle and two end ones. They usually
drill in about peck of the seed to the
acre, and the rows. should be made just
as straight as it is possible to make them,
as upon the straightness of the rows de-
pends the feasibility of keeping the corn
clean without the use of the hoe. When
the corn is just coming up many practice
dragging it with a light harrow, so as to
kill weeds and give it clean start. If
one-half of the spears of corn are de-
stroyed the crop will be all the better.
If when the corn is well out of the way
of the worms it should still be too thick,
it might be we'll to 60 through with the
hoe and chop out the thickest clusters

INVENTORS PLEAGUED.-Many of the
schemes devised during exciting partisan
times are now returning to pleague the
inventors. Ten years ago, when the Re-
publicans had Congress and did not have
the Executive, they enacted law remov-
ing the government advertising from the
Executive Departments and placing it in
the hands of the Clerk of the House of
Representatives. This was done for the
purpose of using the patronage to build
up Republican organs in the South.

versed, and the Republicans have the

THE HERITAGE.
By. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The rich mans son inherits lands
And piles of brick, and stone, and gold
And he inherits soft white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold;
Nor dares to wear garment old
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich man son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the factory burn i
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could scarcely earn
A living that would serve his turn:
A heritage, it seems to me,
One would scarce wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
Stout muscles and sinewy heart,
A hearty frame, harder spirit
King of two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art:
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble things,
A rank adjudged by toil-worn merit.
Content that from employment springs,
A heart that in his labor sings:
A heritage, itseems to me-,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
A patience learned by being poor; /. =
sLourage,iif sorrow come, to bear it,; I
II IA fellow -feeling that is sure -
To make the .outcast bless his door:
A he-itage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to liold'in fee.
Oh! rich mans son, there is toll,
That. With. all other level stands; -
Large charity doth never soil,
'2N But only whitens soft white hands
This is the best crop from thy lands
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being rich to hold in fee.
o! poor mans son scorn not thy state
THERE'S worse weariness than thine,
In merely being rich and great;
Toll, only gives the soul to shine.
And makes rest fragrant and benign!
A heritage, it seems to me-.
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both, heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last; u
Both, children of the same dear God,'
Prove title to your hcirship vast
BY record of well-flled past;
A heritage, it seems to ME, f's
Well worth life to hold in fee.

The eyes fell and the hands tightened
