The incubation of cattle as a preventive of
pleuro-pneumonia which began in Australia,
has been successfully introduced on large
scale into Edinburg, Scotland. During the
past three years about 1000 cattle have been
inoculated in that city and vicinity, reducing
the mortality from 10 to about = per cent 1t
has been estimated by competent authority
that the loss in England from this disease was
not less than l, 900, 900 head of cattle in the
six years ending with 1860, and the loss in
Australia a few years ago was 80 to 40 per
cent of the whole.

AiII the Hugs.

Now look out for the yine-bugs. They are
plentier now than they were when young
men were small boys. They will surely de-
stroy the squashes, the melons and cucum-
bers unless we destroy them. About two
thirds of all the things that are said to kill
them, or keep them Of will amount to moth
ing. Ashes moistened with kerosene, sifted
on and around the vines will do some good.
Perhaps this remedy would be effectual if
properly applied with sufficient frequency.
Care should be taken not TO use enough kerr
osene to kill or iniure the plants. The ashes
should be only slightly moistened, not satu-
rated with it,
We put a complete quietus upon the larger
black squash bug, last season, by the use of
Paris green, and all other bugs infesting our
squashes, without distinction of race or color
went the same way. In the early part Of
their growth, Paris green may be as safely
applied TO squash vines as to potato vines.

How To RAISE CALVES, The best food for
the young calf is its mothers milk. This
let it take day or two generally till the
milk is fit for use, milking the COW clean
when it is done, and setting the milk away in
a cool place. When l begin to teach it to
drink, take a portion of the first milk
drawn from the COW, and put a small portion
of the cream from the older milk with il
while that lasts then put it upon the first
drawn portion of new milk, without addition,
for few days, and then give it only skinned
milk. am acquainted with the whole theory,
and have had an abundant experience in the
practice Of feeding porridges, hay-teas, mush-
es, etc, and have entirely discarded the
whole. My experience is that it is always
safer to feed a calf on uncooked food. A
mixture of oats and barley ground is a good
calf food, and wheat middlings come next !;
linseed meal mixed with either of the above,
or with wheat bran, is good corn meal is too
heavy and too heating Shelled corn, when
the calf is old enough TO eat it, is much
easier food than the meal.
little effort is necessary to teach calf to
take its first grain dry, but it will soon learn
it, Beginning with small quantity and
gradually increasing it after week or two,
or when the calf is four to six weeks old,
giyeit all it will eat of these light foods, feed
ing it Immediately after it has taken its milk
This is always given it in a clean sx-quart
pail set in box 80 that it cannot be butted
over. After its grain has been eaten it is Of

The Best SquaAhes.

The Hubbard squash is the old standard
winter squash. 1t yields good crops, keeps
well through the winter, and is fine as a veg
etable. 1t does not reach its best condition
until early winter.
The Improved American Tnrban squash
has come into great favor in late years. Ii
ripens early and is good to use before ripe
1t is a remarkably fine eating squash aud a
good cropper 1t keeps well into midSinter.
A new variety of squash has been recently
developed by Mr.. Aaron Low, of Essex.
This is called the Essex hybrid squash, and
is a cross between the Hubbard and Turban.
This is very early aud may be planted ~ late
as the first of July 1t has all the Gneness of
quality of the Turban, with the hard she'll
and keeping qualities of the Hubbard. This
variety has been cultivated by Mr.. Low long
enough, as he claims, to have lis qualities be-
come permanently fixed. PI0tghmdn.

a Good and Wholesome Harvest
Drink.

As alcoholic drinks have happily long been
driven from the harvest-fields, there have
been various drinks besides water substituted,
but scarcely any of them meeting fully the
conditions sought for in the way Of a whole
some, satisfying beverage. Water, even in
all its purity, does not seem to quench the
thirst and stimulate the body, as it produces
additional perspiration and passes through
the pores almost like passing through a col
ander, leaving the system exhausted and
weak besides, drink of cold water, when
suffering under a great degree Of heat, is
dangerous, even at times producing sudden
death. Latterly in England and elsewhere a
drink is prepared by mixing oatmeal with
water, in the proportion of three or four
ounces to gallon of water. This is found
not only to satisfy the thirst better than wa
ter, or molasses and water, even when tenn
pered with vinegar or other acid, but to pro
duce additional strength Of body. Oatmeal
Possesses peculiar aroma and acts as a slim
ulant TO the surface of the skin so as to cause
the complete digestion of the liquid. Men
employed in an atmosphere of the intensest
heat are much comforted with it, and be-
come very fond of it, Hence it is in a meas
ure "yictuals and drink, possessing only vir-
tues AID without any drawbacks whatever.
just now the time is here TO give it trial
and We shall be glad if at the end of the sea
son those substituting the oatmeal and wa
ter will make report as to the results. Ger

One Of the burdens.

George Tyler has sued the town of New
bury, claiming $40 900 for damages sustain
ed on the highway last fall, by falling from
his load of wood when going down the West
gate hill, whereby he lost one arm and was
otherwise injured.
In a recent issue of the Record and Farmer
there was communication from E. W.
Goddard of South Reading, asking that the
unjust burdens borne by the farmers be men
toned and considered In the item at the
head of this article is shown one of the
causes of oppressive taxation. Many towns
are similarly oppressed. Rockingham has an
equally large claim to resist in the United
States Court. These and other towns have
claims for smaller amounts. Our State is so
new that the progress of this oppression can
be traced. 1t is certain that the pioneer set
tiers did not expect any one to pay the dam
age they might sustain i'll travelling their new
ly made roads. Their representatives, ought
never to have converted each town into an
accident insurance company, and what was
rashly done should now be undone All uEe
of the highways and bridges ought to be at
the risk of the traveller. The roads were
made for the convenience of the people, and
if this terror of unjust taxation is removed
the roads will not be abandoned, but will
continue to improve, to satisfy the needs of
communities. The idea that the farmers will
have no road unless a punishment is held
over them is false, and it is "a disgrace to a
free people to allow such law to continue.
The farmers generally make the roads and re-
pair them. We have hard country for
roads. The hills pour the water into the val
leys, the frosts undermine, the snow block
AIDES, and the farmers are cursed. We must
throw of this burden. In other states where
this liability does not exist the roads are as
good as in Vermont. If this liability is con-
tinued, heavy tolls ought to be collected from
nonresident travellers to pay the insurance.

BLACK ANTS A CURE PoR CURRAST WORMS
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer finds the
common black ant an efficient protection
against the plague Of currant worms. He
has several colonies Of ants close TO his cur
rant bushes, and enjoys an abundance OF cur
rants, while his neighbors' bushes are over
run with worms. Formerly he took pains to
destroy the ant colonies, but on witnessing
their attacks upon the worms he has taken
pains to protect and encourage them.

Applicants for the Vacant Judeeshlp.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1G.-By the number OF
applicants for the vacant Judgeship OF the
Fifth United States Circuit Court, occasioned
by the promotion Of Judge William E.
Woods, Atlanta presumes, doubtless, that
Ohio is not to monopolize all the Offices.
People in Georgia, outside Of Atlanta, say
that Atlanta has more candidates for Office
than the whole OF Ohio. There are not less
than four candidates for Judge of the Fifth
United States Circuit Court from Georgia.
Among them are Lud1e James S. Ionk,
Ut Augusta, an independent Demo
crat; Amos I. Akernlan, ex-United
States Acknowledgement; George s.
Thomas, ex-Asslstant United States District
Attorney for Georgia; and Fl. n. McCay, eN-
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Of
Georgia. Thomas is a Republican,, so is
McCay 4 stanch Republican, and Alderman
is staiwart Republican,.
This morning the Bar OF Atlanta, Which
included all the Democrats, met and passed
resolutions asking for the confirmation by the
Senate Of Judge Woods, anu also adopted
resolutions recommending McCay for the
vacant Judeeship. This afternoon the Re-
publican members of the Bar i'll Atlanta,
and those here in attendance upon the State
Supreme Court, adopted strong resolutions
recommending Akerfnan for the position.
There is no doubt but a majority Of the Re
publicans favor Akernlan.
