Raising Calves ON Skfmmiik.

A. B. Allen, writing to the Westerra
Agricultm'ist, gives some advice on rails
ing calves. He says: A friend who has
large dairy in the western part of the
State of New York informs me that he
has kept twenty-four grade shorthorn
and Guernsey calves, dropped the last
spring, in the following manner: They
were allowed to suck their dams few
times Immediately after birth, and then
taken away and taught to drink milk
from the pail. This was warm and fresh
from the COWS for a week or ten days,
and then skimmilk was gradually
mixed with it till substituted entirely
for the new milk. This was frequently
lobbered, in very hot weather, before
feeding, and was thought all the better
for it, as being more easily digested.
The calves were put into good pasture
and at few weeks old began to nibble
the grass. The summer being very
dry this failed considerably during
August; cut hay mixed up with wheat
shorts were then given in place of it.
One may Judge how well these calves
throve when simply fed, for at six to
seven months old they weighed from
500 to 600 pounds each. The cream
from the milk of the dams of the
calves was made into butter of first
rate quality, stored till October, and
then brought good price. Many think
that choice calvers cannot be well
raised on skimmilk, and therefore feed
all new milk to them. But I think this
is wasting the cream on such as are de.
signed to grow up for dairy cows and
that they are all the better for this pur
pose when reared on the quality of milh
which is the least fattening and gives
the most muscle. Many a shorthorr

DELIA'S REWARD.

"It was a scandal" the neighbors
said, "that Miss Della should be
obliged to take boarders, after all she'd
been through; and heaven knows board
ers did not help body to work out her
salvation. And so much money in the
family, too, taking it by small and
large. Wasn't her Uncle Eben, over at
Dover, well-to-do, and not chick of
his own to care for, except the boy he
had adopted, who was no credit to him !?
It was odd, now, that man with poor
relations should take to a stranger
when his own flesh and blood was
needy; but sometimes it does seem as
if folks had more feeling for others than
for their own kith and kin. Then there
were cousins in the city, forehanded
and fashionable, who were never worth
a row of pins to Della, and there was
her great-uncle Johns widow a-larking
on the continent, a-gaming at Baden
Baden, and trying the waters OF every
mineral spring in the three kingdoms,
for no disease under the sun but old age.
She'd been known to say that cher folks
were too rich already, and probably she
would endow some hospital with
her property" Plainly, wealthy rela-
tives were of no value to Miss
Della. To be sure, she had
never seen her great aunt-niece
since she was a child, when her Uncle
John had brought her into their simple
life for a months visit with her French
maid and dresses, her jewels and fallals,
which won the heart of her namksake.
Since then Uncle Johns widow has be-
come sort of a gilded creation, always
Young and beautiful; for, though Della
had received little gifts from time to
time across the seas for the last fifteen
wears, she had neither heard nor seen
ANYTHING of the being who had inspired
her youthful imagination, and was quite
uncertain if such q person as Mrs. John
Rogerson was in the land OF the living.
Dead or alive, she seemed to have made
no material difference to Delia's hum
drnm life. After having nursed her
father through long sickness, Della
found that he had left a heavy mort
gage on the homestead, and her mother
and herself on the high road to the poor
house. unless they should bestir them
selves. AS her mother was already
bedridden, the stirring naturally fell
upon Della, and she advertised for
summer boarders:
"Good board in the country, by the
riverside, at seven dollars week.
Large chambers, broad piazzas, fine
views, berries, and new milk. One
mile from the station.

Fish that Fly.

An old sailor said there was nothing
on land not to be found in the sea.
There are sea cucumbers and carrots,
and many other sea vegetables that look
very much like those whose names they
bear Some of the fish even have names
like those of land animals. There are
hog-fsh, sea-horses, toad-fshes and sea-
cows. One very lovely fish is the
angel-fish. But the most curious of all
is the flying fish, which has broad fins
like wings.
This fish is shaped and colored some
thing like mackefel. Its back is blue
and it's under parts are white. When it
flies it takes short flights from the top
of one wave to the top of another. The
flying squirrel can fly, in this way,
from high point up on tree to one
lower down. They are plentiful near
the West Indies, where the water is
warm. In the morning the sailor may
find dead fish on the deck. It had
seen the lights that the vessel carries
at night and flown toward them. It
could fly high enough to reach the YES
sells deck, but could not fly across it.
It may have struck boom or sail and
fallen dead from the blow. After this
they grow more numerous, and you will
see them in the daytime.
They will fly out of the water in front
of the ship in little groups, looking
like focks of swallows. Their white
sides will CLEAN like silver in the sun.
They cannot fly far, perhaps hundred
yards. After wetting their wings or
fins they then can fly farther on. They
look as if they enjoyed their life in the
air, but they do not always fly for
pleasure. The dolphin, a very fierce
and fast swimming fish, hunts them in
the water When the poor fying-fsh
tries to escape him, the great sea-birds,
the gulls and pelicans, seize them as
they fly out. They are very good to
eat. The people in the islands about
which they live catch them in dip nets
and fry them.

Songs of Birds.

Ihe skylark's song: "Arise. arise
On, free glad wings, awake the air;
On, on, above, the light is there
pass the faint clouds and know the skies.
On, biueness oh, deep, endless height
Oh, unveiled SUM-
| Oh, ecstasy of upward flight

Inc sparrow's song: "Let be to soar;
SKIES blacken under night or rain;
via wings are weary all in vain.
Lo, the fair earth, the fruitful store
And the dear sunbeams travel down.
And warm our caves.
And bring gay summer to the town.
oh, sun! oh, bloom oh, safe warm caves ~
rhe hnnet's song: sob, joy of spring!
On, blithe surprise of life And flowers
Wake in the birthday April hours,
And wonder, and are fair, and bring
New promise of new joy to be.
Oh, hope oh, Now
Oh, blossoms breaking on the tree!
livei Oh, day oh, happy Nowl"
The uight-owl's song: ''The flowers 20 dead,
Weak flowers that die for heat or cold,
That die ere even spring turns old:
And with few hours the day is sped
The calm gray shadows chase the noon.
Night comes, and dusk,
And stiffness, and the patient moon.
Oh, stiffness and oh, long, cool dusk,"
The thrush's song: sob, welded wills
Oh, loves delight! She NINE hers.
And every little wind that stirs,
And every little brook that trills,
Makes music, and answer it
With Love, love, love-,
Oh, happy bough where we two sit
| love love! Oh, song Oh, Lowell"
The ravens song: "Waste no vain breath
On dead-born joys that fade from earth,
Nor talk of blossoming or of birth,
For all things are part of death,
Save love, that scarce waits death to die.
Spring has its graves;
Our yew-trees see the green leaves lie
Oh, churchyard yews ! oh, smooth new graves +.
The song of the sweet nightingale,
That has all hearts in hers, and knows
The secret of all joys and woes,
And till the listening stars grow pale,
And fade into the daybreak CLEAN,
Her mingled voice
Melts grief and gladness in dream.
She doth not sorrow nor rejoice.
She sings ''Heart, rest thee and be free,
Pour myself on the unhindering wind
Leave the dear pain of life behind;
Loosed heart, forget thou art and be.
Oh, pain oh, joy of life! oh, love!
My heart is these.
Oh, roses Of the noon oh, stars abovel
Dead, waned, still with me am these''

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Make the Ground Count.

We have learned one mistake we have
made for years past, and that is cover
ing too much ground with too few
plants. Vacancies not only make loss,
but are expensive every way-in prep
aration and cultivation of soil, in extra
expenses for manure, and interest and
tax on land. We are too apt to be am
bilious as to having great number of
acres planted, regardless of the yield,
expense, etc. We will guarantee that,
as rule, persons having the least land
get the most fruit from their land in
proportion to the number of acres, and
make the most money.-Fruit Recorder.

overfed and kept too fat from its birth
up to three years old, when it is the
usual time for it to drop its first calf.
As fed above the calves occasionally
secured, and to stop this some astrin-
gent medicine had to be given in their
food. But if a heaping tablespoonful
of oilmeal, gradually increasing to a
pint for each calf as it grew older, had
been made into grueland mixed daily
with the skimmilk, it would have pre-
vented securing, kept the bowels in
good order and made them relish their
other food more heartily. Flaxseed
boiled to jelly answers the same pur-
pose, also if ground mixed with oats,
one-fourth of the former to three
fourths of the latter, and then a quart
or more, according to the age of the
calf, fed daily, is good substitute for
the oatmeal.

Recipes.

SWEET APPLE PICKLES. apples
make delicious pickles peel and quar-
ter them, boil them until tender in
vinegar and water; to one quart of
vinegar add two pounds of sugar heat
the vinegar and dissolve the sugar in it;
add cloves and cinnamon, and pour
over the apples while hot.
CRANBERRY RoLL.-Stew a quart of
cranberries in just water enough to keep
them from burning. Make very sweet,
strain and cool. Make paste, and
when the cranberry is cold spread it on
the paste about an inch thick. Roll it,
tie it close in flannel cloth, boil two
hours and serve with sweet sauce.
Stewed apples OF other fruit may be
used in the same way.
AN APPETIzING DISH. One of the
most appetizing dishes that can be
placed before a hungry family, and
which may tempt the appetite of one
who isn't hungry, is made in this way
Take one dozen ears of corn, CRATE it,
stir in four eggs, one-fourth of cup of
-four, little salt, and fry in hot lard
if the corn is not milky add little milk
or cream. This is next to fried oysters.
To STEW VEAL OUTLETS. Gut them
about half an inch thick, fatten them
with chopper, and fry them in fresh
butter or dripping. When brown on
one side turn and do them on the other,
continuing to do so till they are thor
oughly done. which will be in about a
quarter of an hour. Make gravy of
some trimmings, which put into stew
pan with bit of soft butter, an onion,
a roll of lemon peel, blade of mace,
some thyme, parsley, and stew the
whole over slow fire for an hour, and
then strain it put one ounce of butter
into another pan, and when melted mix
with as much -four as will dry it up
stir this for few minutes, then add
the gravy by degrees till the whole is
mixed boil it five minutes, then strain
it through sieve and put it to the
outlets. Some browning may be added,
together with mushroom or walnut cat
sup, or lemon pickle.
To DRY PUMPKINS ripe pump
kins, pare, cut into small pieces, stew
soft, mash and strain through colan-
der, as if for making pies. Spread
this pulp on plates, in layers some half
an inch thick dry it in stove oven,
which should be kept at so low tenn
perature as not to scorch it. In about
day it will become dry and crisp. The
sheets thus made can then be slowed
away in dry place, and are always
ready for use, either for pies or stewing.
The quick drying after cooking pre-
vents the souring which is almost al
ways the case when the uncooked pieces
are dried, while the favor is much
better preserved and the after cooking
dispensed with. On going to use, soak
portions of the article in little milk
over night, when it will return to as de-
licious pulp as if made of pumpkin
when fresh.

IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.

We have recently had our attention called
70 new ana important Improvement in the
manufacture OF cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutionixe the cigar bust
ness, we have had one of our reporters, who
S special y conversant with the tobacco and
cigar trade, to interview .he inventors and
latentees. The invention was patented May
II, 1878, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
IN the cigar business. The cigars are made
Piinclpallv of the very best seed and Havana

advantages they possess over all other cigars

ureiy round light; and they will not break
when carried in the pocket. These are advan-
ages which will be recognized by every

Cuttings.

NJ. Loiseau recommends that the u.s.
ual method of striking cuttings should
be altered. When, he observes, cut
ting is put in perpendicularly the sap,
the natural tendency of which is to rise,
is expended in pushing forward new
bud instead Of forming a root. But if
it is laid horizontally, or even with it's
lower end higher than the upper, that
is not the case the sap prefers to move
toward the higher end, or at all events
is evenly distributed between the two
extremities. This causes the callus to
form SO rapidly that if the cuttings are
put into warm place eight or ten days
are enough to secure it's formation or
even that of the roots. Autumn cut
tings taken off little before the sap
ceases to move, and treated in this man
ner. form the callus so quickly that
they are ready for planting out before
winter. In winter it is necessary to
keep the cuttings in gentle heat, or
beneath leaves deep enough to keep off
frost, and even then a callus will he
round to have formed by spring time.

Many vine-growers, says the Cincin-
natl Gazette, experience great disap-
pointment between the budding and
ripening of their grapes. In spring the
leaves and sprays shoot forth album
dainty and the "blossoms appear in
gratifying profusion. AS summer ad-
vances the growth of the berries is at
first satisfactory, and then reverse
commences. Some shrivel up, others
mildew and many drop off, the curculio
takes share and general deterioration
ensues. II the trunks of the vines are
large and the branches extensive these
changes are only the more remarkable.
But larger vines absolutely require to
be profusely watered, for the proper
ton of water in the skin of the grape
is evidently very considerable, and every
drop ascends through the pores of the
trunk If the vines are near the dwell
ing waste washing water, soapsuds, etc,
cannot be poured too profusely on the
roots. We have known young trees,
vines, etc., rescued from death by
drought by the profuse watering of their
roots. Again, the paper bag protection
to the punches is well worth trying.
Old vine growers near this city find it
to succeed admirably. There are few
noble grape "trees" in this neighbor-
hood which rival in size and production
the famous Black Hamburg at Hampton
Court, England, be- they are well cared
for by their owners, although in our
latitude it is not necessary to keep
them in glass houses. He who hath a
thriving vineyard hath a good posses
sion.

that the power given to Congress ito

not believe that Congress has any right
