Autumn Care of Young Stock

Thousand of calves, says The North
British Agriculturist, tolerably we'll reared
in the house and while living mainly on
milk, are seriously and even fatally in

their subsequent management; and the
came applies with equal force to foals
and lambs. The young creature is per-

its digestive apparatus is vainly expect.
ed at once to accommodate itself to the
change from the digestible concentrated
milk to the less digestible, fbrous, bulky
grass. For a time, at least, nutrition
and growth are impaired, the blood
sometimes becomes deficient in some
of its important elements, the tissues
are starved, the muscles are pale and
soft, the walls of the intestines are thin
and pellucid; dlrar9a sets In, while,
still further to reduce the weakened
calf, irritation and cough are sometimes
set up from thread-worms invading the
bronchial tubes. The anamia, with all
our boosted skill and management, still
annually kills off thousands of calves
and lambs. Yet these losses are easily
preventable by supplying continuously
regular suitable food, by more gradual
weaving, by teaching the young animal,
before weaving, to eat little bruised
llnseed- or crushed oats, and con-
tinue regularly after weaving the sup
plies Of such concentrated adjuncts.
Once the milk flesh is lost it is hard to
say how many shillings per pound it
costs to replace its equivalent. 1t is
doubtful whether an animal thus
stripped of its dainty handling calves
flesh can ever be made quite SO good,
while this pulling down and building up
treatment is attended with great risk of
serious disease. A wasted and danger

what is apt to follow weaving, too COM
monty results throughout the English
grazing counties from keeping the
young stock on the pastures in the late
autumn, when the grass has lost much
of Its nutritlve value, and the tempera-
ture of the air and the ground has be-
come materially reduced Then the
animals require for the maintenance of
health extra, instead of diminished,
supplies of food or fuel. Careful flock
masters usually avoid these risks by
giving their lambs frequent changes OF
pasture untainted by other sheep; by
placing them very early in autumn On
cabbage and roots, and often by contin-
uing the few ounces of cakes and dry
food before weaving. Many foals and
calves now lost or stunted in growth
would be preserved by similar treat
ment-by the early reasonable use of
dry food, and, if they are not housed
early in autumn, by sheds on the pas
lures, which are most valuable for shell
ter from extremes alike of heat and
cold and from wet,

The Great Wall Of China.

An American engineer in China has
been making fresh examination of its
"Great Wall" The dimensions have
been given so often that we need not re-
peat them but the structure tor dis
lance of 1928 miles is carried from
point to point n a perfectly straight line,
across valleys and plains and overs hills,
without the slightest regard to the con.
fguration of the ground, sometimes
plunging down into abysses a thousand
feet deep. Brooks and smaller rivers are
bridged over by the wall, while on both
banks of larger streams strong thanking
towers are placed" Perhaps the Emper-
or Nicholas had this contempt for obsti-
Giles in mind when he solved the problem
of the best railroad route between St.
Petersburg and Moscow by drawing a
straight line by ruler between.th points
on the map and having the road construct
ed as thus indicated.

The Hottest Spot on Earth.

One of the hottest regions of the earth
is along the Persian Gulf, where little
or no rain falls. At Bahrin the arid
shore has no fresh water, yet a compar-
atively numerous population contrives
to live there, thanks to copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom OF
the sea. The fresh water is got by div
ing. The diver sitting in his boat winds
a great goat-skin bag around his left
arm, the hand grasping its mouth; then
he takes in his right hand a heavy stone.
to which is attached strong line, and
thus equipped he plunges in and quick
ly reaches the. bottom. Instantly open.
ing the bag, over the strong jet of fresh
water, he springs up the ascending cur
rent, at the same time closing the bag,
and is helped aboard. The stone is
then hauled up, and the diver after tax
idg breath plunges in again. The source
of these copious submarine springs is
thought to be the green hill of Osma n
some five or six hundred miles distant

English and American Farming.

There are comparatively few points
of resemblance between farming in En-
gland and in the United States. In the
former country one class own nearly all
of the land, a second class rent it out,
and third class do the work on it. In
this country, if we except the cotton and
cane producing states, the owner, occu-
pier, and cultivator of farming land is
ordinarily the same person. If the far
mer here finds it necessary to employ
more hands than are furnished by his
own family, he hires them, calls them his
"help," feeds and lodges them in tn
house where he resides. Food, lodging,
washing, and the repairing of clothing
forms parts Of the compensation which
the 'shired man" receives. In England.
however, the persons employed to work
on farms are denominated "laborers"
and stand much slower in the social
scale than their employers. The wages

How to Water Horses.

In cold weather give one pailful at
a time three times a day This is
enough unless you are working them
regularly; then give them little more,
but not to exceed four pailsfull a day.
In warm weather when they are brought
in, first sponge out the mouth and nos
trils well with cold water. After a few
spongings they will wait for it to be done.
Then give them not TO exceed a pail
full apiece; and after. feeding give one
more pailfull before you commence
work. Don't let them go without long
enough to make them want more than
this. Ii allowed, thirsty horse, when
warm, will drink too much. A COM

The Bank Of England.
Good Company Number Two


A few steps further on was the power
full institution whose influence is felt in
finance and trade all over the world-the
Bank of England. Bounded on all four
sides by the street, all its windows pru-
dentially open into central court, and
since the riots of 1880 it has been occu-
pied every night by detachment of
soldiers. Its business requires a working
force of twelve hundred men. Its bank
notes are printed within the building.
The same note Is never paid out over
its counter twice. The new bill that is
issued this morning is retired as soon as
1t returns, no matter if the same man
pays it in again this afternoon without
a wrinkle in it. 1t is allowed to issue
notes to the amount of fifteen million
pounds on the security of its standing
loan OF much larger amount to the
government. which constitutes part of
the public debt. For every note issued
above that-and it has circulation of
over forty million pounds -bullion of
an equal amount must be paid into its
treasury, and must be kept there for
the redemption of the note when it re-
turns. The traveller on the contin-
ent often finds its notes at a
premium in gold. No note is issued of
a less denomination than five pounds.
Every note is numbered, and the name
Of the party to whom it is paid out is
carefully recorded. The practice of
keeping a memorandum which will
show. from whom he receives every
bank note that passes through his
hands is common, also, with the pains
taking London tradesman. It proved
fortunate thing for friend of mine
on one occasion. He had given his
wife ten pound note. Their little
child got hold of the porte-monie and
destroyed the note-as they supposed,
by throwing it on the open fire. There
would have been no hope of realizing
on a greenback under such circum-
stances. But fifty dollars was worth
trying for. The number of the note
was ascertained from the parties
through whose hands it came to my
friend, sworn statement of the facts
was filed at the bank, and after year
or SO had passed without its having
been presented for redemption the
bank paid over the money. The bank
takes in and pays out its gold coin by
weight. Sometimes it sends out q seal
ed package and receives it again be-
fore the seal is broken, and yet deducts
quite sum from the amount at which
it paid out, to make good the loss de-
tected by the uuerring scales-which
occurred by the abrasion of the coins
in transportation!

Beef Cattle.

When once you have determined to
fatten an animal for beet, let the process
be as quick as possible. Any stint il.
feeding at such times will tend to max e
the meet tough and dry. Stalled ami
mails will fatten more readily than 9TH

food than older ones. In winter fatten-
ing do not forget that much depends
upon the warmth of the stable. The
warmer the cattle are kept the less
food will be needed.

Washington, Jan. 2I.-At the cabi-

stated that he had received report
from the Indian agent at the Cheyenne
agency to the effect that information
had reached that place of the recrossing
of the Canadian line into the United
States of the noted chief, Sitting Bull,
with his people, and that they are ex-
ceedingly anxious to return to this
country, and come under the super
vision of the Indian bureau, and be
distributed in the Indian country as
are other tribes. This news was not
confirmed by any information at the
war department, but it was thought
worthy of consideration, and led to
some discussion.
1t is reported that some 5000 lodges,
or nearly $1,000 people, are with Sit
ting Bull. The subject will receive
the immediate attention of the presi-
dent and secretaries of war and interior
departments.
kilograms will be sent to officers of
the war department as well asto Indian
agents, requiring them to give the au-
thorities here information on this mat
ter. The report is that Sitting Bull
comes with the most peaceable inten-
tion, but in the present disturbed con-
dition of Indian affairs, it is not known
what may be his meaning.
