1T would seem, therefore, that IN
rearing animals for the dairy, care should
be taken that the young are not SO fed a.

every faculty except that Of producing
milk. would not advocatea deficiency
of food for young dairy stock, but I would
argue against an excess Of articles Of
highly stimulating quality. The plan of
the Scotch farmer is undoubtedly q
good y. one-to take their calves
early from tn dam, feed them
from the dish, and bring them to
solid food or pasture as soon as the con-
dition of the young stomach will allow.
Instead of liDseed meal they use great
quantity of oatmeal-an article of food
much less predisposing to fat and keep
ing up vigorous growth. We have in
this country good quality of hay, every
where basis Of feeding; and after tho
calf is weaned, or after she has had milk
enough to give her q fair introduction
into life, hay in the form of hay-tea and
afterward of rowen, is undoubtedly the
best food the animal can have, especial
ly>wh hen aided by few roots, such as
turnips or carrots. In such cases milk
is abundant at very early age, and
skinned milk is advantageously used as
substitute. should not recommend
the use of grain, especially
that containing suberabundance of oily
matter, as Indian corn and linseed, for
young dairy stock. or even for dairy
cows when in the flush of milk. Per-

the animal seem not to thrive we'll. But
a calf that is properly weaned and fur
nished with goo pasture, will be car
ried through the first winter most sat
isfactorily on good, sweet hay, especially
rowen, with roots. In this way can
uniform and well balanced animal be
produced, which, when put to dairy
service, will not become coarse and raw
boned in appearance, nor take on flesh
at the expense of the milk pail"
Licentiousness In England.
In recent sermon Bishop Fraser, Of
Manchester, said: It was the moral life
of the nation that seemed to him in
peril just now-the life and well.being of
the people. Some people thought that
intemperance was the greatest curse
hanging over England at the present
moment. He did not think so. There
was, no doubt, residum who were
cursed with that terrible curse of intern.
perance; but there were other
curses more deadly still. Peo-
pie might be perfectly temperate as far
as alcoholic drinks were concerned. and
yet their lives might be anything but &C.
cotding to that which had been laid
down for them. And seeing what he
saw and heating what he heard he dis
tinct]y said that he believed that licen-
tiousness was the sin which was eating
out the moral life Of this nation, that
RIGHTEOUSNESS which they saw rampant
through the streets of ,lanshester every
evening that they moved through those
streets. That was curse which in pull
pits they hardly dared to mention for
fear Of shocking SOME delicate taste,
but it needed to be mentioned some
times, when they knew the ravages it
was causing on every side. This is q
word fifty spoken in season; and it is
the duty of the clergy in America to
initiate the fearlessness and honesty Of
Bishop Fraser. in touching on the mag
nitude of the social evil.
