The Forget.ne::not.

To that beautiful little flower, the
Forget-me-not, with its blue, like
the tints of a summer flower, and
its golden eye, bright as hope, is at.
tached legend known to most Of
our readers, though it will not be
amiss to repeat it. A German
knight, with his lady.love, were
walking on the banks of the Dan
ube, when the fair one saw a tuft of
the myosotis in the stream, and ex-
pressed her wish for it. With all
chivalrous alacrity, the knight, in
full array, plunged in and gathered
the prize; but the eddies of that
treacherous river drew him down in
their fatal grasp; and, sinking, he
threw the flour on shore to his dis
tracted mistress, with the well-known
words. "yergis mein nicht!" "For-
get-me-not."

Raising Calves.

Every heifer calf from good COWS
should be raised in order that the
number Of good COWS may become
larger. Some persons say that they
cannot afford to raise calves, it costs
so much for milk to give them. 1t
generally costs more than it need to.
After the first two or three days the
calf may be taken from the COW and
learned to drink, and when a week
old skim milk may be substituted
for new milk. Then Cruel made Of
well boiled oat meal may be substi.
tuted for the skim milk if it is desi-
rable to have that for other USE
Cotton seed meal added to the cruel
has sometimes been recommended
and might be cautiously tried

into good pasture they will do

No Gloves.

The ungloved hand can now be ex.
tended in society without reproach.
The fact illustrates the whimsical
basis upon which conventions rest.
One day the Prince Of Wales drove
on in hurry to hold a levee for the
queen. On arriving at the drawing.
room he found himself gloveless. 1t
was too late to send, and as it
wouldn't have been etiquette for the
rest TO wear gloves when the Prince
had none, the ceremony was glove.
less one. After that gloves were
banished from the great social cere.
monials, and even in the Streets
The fashion has come TO this country.
During the last.two years gentlemen
have appeared everywhere ungloved
in the street, the drawing.room,
the opera, and the theater. In
France, however, it be considered as
improper to appear in a drawing
room ungloved as unshod. But as
gloves are cheaper on the Continent
than in this country or England, the
proprieties may be observed at less
cost,

Shadows.

Many things can be learned from a
shadow. Let US make an example or
two. First, suppose we are in a part
Of the country with which we are not
much, acquainted, and we want to
know the direction in whichfwe are
travelling; we can tell by the direct.
ion in which the shadows are thrown.
We have simply to note the time by
our watch, and bear in mind that
the sun rises in the east, and gets
nearly south by midday, after which
he goes west. We must, at the same
time, bear in mind that the shadow
is thrown in exactly the opposite di.
rection, SO that when the sun is
southeast, as it always is before mid
day, the shadows are thrown north
west. We need but compare the d.
rection in which we are travelling
with the line cast by our shadow
Again, suppose we are out walking,
near midday, in the summer, and we
have no means Of knowing the exact
time, nor the direction in which we
are walking. Take stick-a walk
ing stick will do very well, indeed
plant it upright in the ground; its
shadow will be thrown by the sun,
provided its is shining at the time,
and, as it is near midday, its shadow
will be short, and we can tell wheth-
er it is before or after noon, for, if
before midday, the shadow will be-
come shorter and shorter; ifjust after
it will increase in length. So that
in this experiment we get both an
indication of the time of day and the
means Of telling the four points Of the
compass. In this lies the whole Sc
cret of tie sundial.

FOR THE FARMER.
The Manure Pile.

In summer at every leisure hour,
the farmers team would be well EN-.
ployed in gathering up sods, scrap
ings of the roadside, leaves, rotten
logs and stumps, and whatever will
decay, and carting the same into one
corner Of the barnyard. Indeed, it
should be a standing order for every
member of the household tosave and
gather up everything that may ans
wer good purpose in the compost
heap. How heap will grow, when
every one contributes something to
i'll With a pile of absorbents near
at hand, they will be used. The liq-
uid parts Of the manure will be tax
en- up, and the solid parts prevented
from fre-fanging. Let these various
articles be worked over, half and half
and the whole bulk will be worth as
much as the same amount Of simple
manure. By autumn there will be a
fine provision for enriching the
grain-felds and for top-dressing
grass lands. Most village people
make no use Of the ashes produ-
ced in their stoves or of the bones
taken from the meat they consume,
and the blacksmith hardly ever saves
the clippings he takes from the feet
Of horses. All these materials make
excellent manure. A barrel OF shaw.
ings cut from the hoofs of horses con-
tains more ammonia than is contain
ed in load Of stable manure, they
will decompose very rapidly. A
vast amount Of fertilizing material
is wasted in towns that farmers
could obtain the benefit of with very
little trouble. When taking load
to market, they could also take IL
load home, of fertilizing material
that may be obtained for nothing,
which would be Of great benefit to
the lard. Old boots and shoes are
the favorite food of the raspberry and
all its palatable kin. Tainted brine,
is good for the plum trees and the
asparagus bed; slacken lime with it,
and it will make a rich garden soil.

Exercise as a Medicine.

The medical philosopher, Asclepi.
AIDES, Pliny tells us, had found that
health could be preserved, and if lost,
restored, by physical exercise alone,
and not only discarded the use Of
internal remedies, but made a pub
lie declaration that he would forfeit
all claim to the title of a. physician
if he should ever fall sick or die but
by violence or extreme old age. AS.
clepiades kept his word, for he lived
upward of century, and died from
effects of an accident. He used to
prescribe course of gymnastics for
every form of bodily ailment.

War Oh Weeds,

Let the war on weeds begin early
and keep it up without CESSATION
Whenever there is a shadow of a
chance weeds assert themselves, and
if not quickly subdued soon monopo.
lie pastures, meadows, fields, and
gardens.
A sovereign remedy for most weeds
is thorough cultivation. A weedy
field planted to corn and cultivated
early and late, especially early, for
a season or two, will generally lose
even the toughest characters among
extraneous growths. A sharp-tooth-
cultivator will accomplish much, and
where this misses hand hoes will
finish the rest.
When it is not practicable TO place
weed-lnfested fields under continued
cultivation much may be accomplish
ed by digging noxious growths up by
the roots, moving them down repeat.
eddy or smoothing them out, accord.
ing as they propagate from root, seed,
or both. To carry on this war intel
ligently farmers must know some
what of the nature and growth Of
weeds. White daises, one of the
worst pests meadows have to contend
with, spreads from both root and
seed; they should be dug out, there
fore, before the blossoms natures, that
the seed for that year may be destroy.
ed as well as the germ which pro-
duces the stem and blossoms the
next. This, by the way, is most
readily accomplished when the
ground is soft from recent rain. The
same may be said of the iron-weed
that is of similar habit.
Burdocks will finally succumb to
repeated cuttings provided they are
cut three or four inches under the
surface. Elders and briers may in
time be overcome by repeated now
lngs and then pasturing with sheep.
Milk-weed can be exterminated by
continued cuttings, never allowing
the plant to show long above ground.
Plantain, if not permitted to mature
its seed for two years, will die out
May and August are fitting months
in which to NOW such weeds as sue.
cumb from loss of leaves. The Cana
da thistles is perhaps most quickly
checked by the rank growth of some
field crop which over-tops it and
smothers it out. Great care should
be exercised to prevent all classes of
weeds from forming their seed.
