MAKING WASTE GROUND VALUABIE.-Mr.
Benz. |. Worthington, farmer living near
st. Johns p E. Church, Baltimore county,
has between and 8 acres of low meadow
land lying along stream, which is submerg-
ed whenever there is a freshet Having lost
many crops from this land by floods, he de-
cded last year to plant it in broom-corn, and
his project succeeded far beyond his expecta-
ton He raised an immense crop, which was
properly cured. He then established broom
factory on his place and is now working three
hands regularly, turning out large number
of brooms. His profits from this patch of
ground, heretofore almost valueless, will reach
for the past year between seven and eight
hundred dollars. This shows what NAV be
done by perseverance and intelligent man
agement Mr.. w. has also an oyster bed in
his spring, which is curiosity if nothing

Management of Young Cows.

On some accounts it is probably better that
COWS should be fed and grown on the farm
where they are to be kept. If brought to a
strange place it takes some time for them to
become wonted to the locality and to other
stock. A calf saved for COW will be pettcd
and htmored in such a way as to be made
kind and gentle to handle. 1t will also pro-
badly be better feeder, and this also means
better mixer These hearty feeders should
be allowed to breed early, so as to determine
the flow of Yigor to the milk glands as early
as possible, and thus increase their size. All
ter having one calf, the hefer may be fed lib
orally to keep up the flow of milk at long as
possible, and also to increase the size of the
COW. little heiter is ola good milking strain,
she will, with such treatment, make a srpc-
rior COW, and i'll any event, this management
will bring out the best results of which she is
capable
Variety Of food is especially important for

liking for sour milk is often valuable point
in COW Mt times when there is no other way
to dispose of the surplus. 1t used to be
thought hard usage to keep cows in the early
settlement of the country on "browse"-thc
buds and tender twigs of fallen trees. But
cows so fed had always little hay, some
corn stubble, a few nubbins of corn and the
waste from the Kitchen In this way the
great variety of food they received was much
more favorable to health and large produc-
ton of milk than forced feeding on one or
two articles of food. High feeding is profit
able for fattening animals; for with these,
impairment of the constitution is thought TO
be of less importance, as they are to be killed
so soon. But in feeding cows, especially
young cows, to induce a large secretion, the
high feeding should include great variety of
articles, and thus induce habit of hearty
appetite which will continue through life

My doctor told me that some time since a
professor in one of our colleges, after suffer

which he himself had tried to cure, sent for
the former, who prescribed a hot tlatiron.-
The next time the doctor saw the professor

The pressing or coagulation of the milk
OF animals, as COWS, sheep and goats, seems
to be as old as history itself, being well
known to the Greeks and Romans, and also
to the Jews. A vegetable acid, as the milky
juice OF figs, was used to effect the coagua-
ton, by separating the composition of the
milk, as is now done through the use of rem
net.
The chief use of clover is in being cut

AN IMPORTANT HINT TO FARMERS.

AN IMPORTANT HINT TO FARMERs-An
intelligent farmer who is a very close obser-
yer and very successful corn farmer, says
that he always smokes his seed corn. After
selecting the seed, he hangs it in his smoke
house and smokes it well. Sometimes the
corn is quite black The result of this treat
ment is that the corn is not liable to rot be-
fore it sprouts and insects do not disturb
it. Where he uses smoked corn, there is no
necessity of replanting He has tested this
experiment for number of years and has al
ways been successful Last year he run out
of smoked corn while planting one field and
used small quantity of corn that was not
smoked On the portion where the unsmok-
ed corn was he was compelled to replant the
greater part.

FILL THE EASTER FONT.

FILL II HI r. EASHE h fuNI.
Fill the Easter font with care,
Heap the roses rich and rare,
Round the stately Gala set

From their fragrance comes voice
Bidding Christian hearts rejoice;
Whispering thro' their lips of bloom,
Christ is risen from the tomb.
Angels with their heavenly Tone
Mid the scpulchre of stone,
Watching in that fearful shade,
Where the crucitled was laid,
Saw the mourning few who came
Ere the mornings earliest flame:

PRESERVATION OF FURs--"Jenne," of
Germantown, says: "As this is the season
when we put away our winter firs, will
mention how l preserve mine entirely from
the attacks of the moth. first hang them
out in the sun for day or two, then give
them good beating and shaking up to be
sure no moth is in them already. | then
wrap up lump of camphor in rag and
place in each then wrap up each in sound
newspaper and paste together so that there
is no hole or creyice through which moth
can gain entrance-and my furs are perfectly
safe. You will say that there is no secret in
this, and there is none. Every lady can take
care of her own furs, IL rs not too hard aoork

I requires no milk room. 1t requires capacity
i for one milking only. 1t is not affected by
changes of weather, Dog Days and June being
alike favorable. Impure air, dust or flies cannot

cause this system raises all the cream, and the

1t is cheaper IT can be used with less water. 1t

show lack of confidence in myself and how
to overcome ii ?" The wise attorney shut
his eyes and studied the case for a moment
before answering: MY young friend if ii is
lack of confidence in yourself it will some
day vanish, but if ii is lack of brains, you
had better sell out your office effects and buy
a pickaxe and long handled shovel" But

Mr.. George Truax, an old and re-

A notable event for West Brattlebo-
70, was the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of Mrs. Sally Stockwell, which
was celebrated most becemingly, at her
home, on Wednesday of this week, by
her numerous relatives and friends.
Mrs. StOckwell was born at Chesterfield

About the time the excursion train
arrived at Bellows Falls Friday after
noon from Keene to see the high water,
Il report circulated freely that man
was going to endeavOr to go through
the falls in n boat, and raised consider
able excitement. About A O'Clock Il
boat was seen to push off from the Yer
mont shore and head for the falls with
one man in it. AS it struck the first
fall it tipped bottom up, the man I'M
der. The crowd, perhaps two hundred,
followed it, some hearing cries as it
passed under the bridge. The boat
was dashed in pieces and the man seen
no more. Excitement ran high till la
ter it was shown to have been a prac-
teal jOke-a straw man.
Resulting from the recent revival in
the evangelical churches at Bellows
Falls, there were 81 baptisms and 80
admissions to the First Congregational
Church. Others yet to come in this and
other churches make total of nearly
100 in all.
Mr.. A. A. Earle, editor of the Morris

his case. Mr.. Earle has suffered much
from nervous prOstratiOn for several

sea voyage will accomplish all that is
hoped from them, and that he will re-
turn in full vigor of mind and body.

1t is evident that the spirit of improve
ment has caught him. Many a place
might be improved if the owners would
only go at it, and be the better for it.
Twenty years ago this spring the late
Uriah Miner set out ITO naples on the
farm where VIM. Guthrie now lives just
west of the house. They are all alive
now except eight, and are in rows any
way you may look. 1t is one of the
finest groves in this vicinity. A good
many of them are six inches in dame
ter. How many places might be i'm
proved in this way; say every one set
trees both sides of the road through the
farm; $25 would pay the expense. 1t
beauties any place, and those that
have done it are enjoying it. Improve
ment should be the motto of all the Yer
mont farmers; not only make the place
look nice but make two blades of grass
grow where one did in all the points
in farming. Mr.. Miner set those trees
true the saying one will plant and
build for anOther's comfort.
Wick Brown Is one of the lucky men.
He has received il pension of $3.50 back
pay, and 500 per year hereafter He
thinks Uncle Sam is fine fellow lie
went down South and did his best, and
this is his reward. He took the pension
money and removed one of those death
grips from his farm, Commonly called
mortgages). He appears like a new
man.
