Care OF Young Stock.

What care and treatment shall we give
the young calves that they may make
strong and vigorous animals? Too many
are stunted when young and their growth
is slow, with little prospect Of their max
ing very large animals. Some calves are
only given skinned milk for few days
then turned out to grass or hitched to q
movable post so that they can have fresh
feeding ground every day,
A farmer who is largely engaged in
raising Jersey stock adopts the following
method in raising his calves and so far has
had the best of results He recently
showed the writer calf dropped in July
that seemed as large as some yearlings.
This calf he says has been tethered out
every day and has had about five quarts Of
milk morning and night. The
result was apparent, for more vigorous
calf we never saw. If it does not make a
good Jersey COW, it will not be the fault of

breeder, II feed my calves as follows:
Early in the morning give my calves one
quart each OF wheat bran, and, when they
have finished this, / give them small
quantity of hay. / do not feed them very
much hay at a time. Calves do better to
feed small quantity, unless the hay is
fine, like redtop or blue grass" "How do
you feed the second winter" we inquired.
Just as ] do the rest of my stock with the
exception of the bran, which is cut off"
We looked the herd over thoroughly and
beheld some of the finest Jersey yearlings
and calves we ever saw; fat, sleek and
gentle, they bore evidence of what care
and kindness will do in rearing young
stock. steady and uniform growth was
secured all of the time, hence the fine con-
dition Of the young stock. How different
from the half starved stunted calves which
one often sees in the farmers barn. yard.
Good stock is only secured by proper
care and attendance to feeding while
young and in the growing state. Spring

FEEDING FOREIGN GRAIN

The question whether it is profta-
BILE or not to feed foreign grain,
cotton-seed meal, etc.. is one that
has been quite frequently discussed
at agricultural meetings, by leading
agriculturists and by the press: but
the question has not been settled to
the satisfaction of all. The majority
of our farmers, as it would seen from
their practices, have decided that it
does pay, and are buying larger or
smaller quantities according to their
needs or the supposed profit result
ing therefrom. On certain road
leading from this village, a man
counted forty teams loaded with grain
and feed in one day, all or nearly all
of it going into one town. This
seems to show that a very great
quantity is being used. The short
crop of hay and the high price, I'M
til of late, of butter have been in
ducements to feed grain, many farm
ers having larger stock than could
be wintered on the products of their
own farms.
Whether the feeding of all this
grain is profitable we cannot, nor do
we believe the average farmer, can
tell. It is an intricate problem to
solve but one that ought to be care
fully studied by every man who
keeps stock of animals. One thing
we will venture to say, and that is,
that system of farming which will
enable the farmer to raise all he feeds
to his stock: hay, straw, ensilage,
roots and grain would be a much bet
ter one than system which compells
him to pay out very large sum fol
foreign grain annually. Just what
plan to adopt to accomplish this is
the query.
The most natural product and fal
the most valuable crop in Vermont i;
grass, and whatever else is talked
about, the farmer must adhere, no
only to the biblical theory tina
all flesh is grass, but to the prin
ciple that his successes depends
almost entirely on grass. Hence
great question is how TO produce tn
greatest amount of the best qualit,
of grass. We have an idea that al
though too little attention has bee
, paid to the work of practically an,
successfully testing the merits of diff
ferent plants called grass, with refer

THE NEW CABINET MEMBER.

The President is given to surprises.
He is also given to ignoring advice.
His appointment of a Postmaster
General illustrates both characters
tics. The politicians, the newspa-
pers, and probably the Cabinet had
everybody but the right man men
toned for the vacant Cabinet office.
The President listened, smiled, and
like Mr.. Lincoln made no sign. In
the meantime he looked the field over
for himself and made selection that
nobody had thought of. There was
CONSERVATION in expectant quarters,
but the great public, who care only
to see the right man in the right
place, have only reason to be graf
flied with the choice.
Walter O. Gresham, now Post
master-General, is a native Indianian
about 80 years of age. Bred to the
law, he flung his books and clients
away when the civil war broke out.
He entered the army as lieutenant
colonel, made magnificent record,
was wounded again and again, and
came out of the war brigadier-gener-
al. He was a favorite of Grant, and
when the latter became President he
made him United States District
Judge for Indiana, in which position
he is said to have won a high rank,
and his opinions are characterized by
great thoroughness. The gossips
say that Judge Gresham has antago-
nized Morton, Harrison and New,
but as one is dead and the others
hold high offices there is no reason to
suppose that they will be particularly
put out by the selection of rival of
such ability and worth. The Presi-
dent has done we'll in this matter.
1t is plain that the new Postmaster
General will be the equal of any
man in the Cabinet, and in some
| points will be a little ahead.

The Egpress is struggling over the
Charleston school question, and the
pros and cons in that paper are quite
numerous. We have no doubt that
the town system for schools is the
best, but if the great majority of voters
in Charleston or Barton prefer to
stick to the district system, the Mon
IToR will cheerfully acquiesce. The
battle over the question has been
quite wordy but so far no loss is suf-
fered, and if the town wishes to run
it's schools as heretofore, it will be as
well off as it has been and as it neigh
bors are, who still presist in the old

The query is frequently raised as
to the power of the telephone to
transmit the voice to long distances.
Laboratory experiments have shown
that the telephone will work through
a PERSISTENCE" of one hundred and
fifty thousand miles of telegraph line,
but in practice the leakage of cleo
tricity from the wire to the ground,
dampness and other drawbacks limit
transmission of speech to much short
er distances. Edison, it is recorded,
has transmitted vocal sounds over a

line four hundred and fifty miles in
length. Conversation has been car
ried on over five hundred miles of
wire and lesser distances in European
and Asiatic countries. 1t is said
that telephone communications have
been sent from Brussels to Paris, a
distance of two hundred and fifteen
miles, simultaneously with the trans
mission of telegraphic messages over
the same wire. 1t was alleged that
the bombardment of Alexandria last
summer was heard at Malta, dis
lance of one thousand miles, by
means of submarine cable. For rea-
sons ineligible to practical electri-
clans this statement was received
with a wide margin for allowance.
Experiments, it is said, prove that in
one hundred miles of submarine cable
the delicate and rapidly succeeding
vocal currents run together and be-
come a confused tumble, owing to
the greater retarding effect that
submarine cable has over land wire.
A few days ago successful telephone
communication was held between New
York and Cleveland, distance of
seven hundred and one miles. The
lines used were of heavy copper wire.
Not only the conversation perfectly
heard but the minor sounds about
the offices, such as the conversation
of bystanders in the room, were
clearly audible. Previous to this
trial the longest wire over which con-
versation had been held was between
Boston and Baltimore, about four
hundred and fifty miles. The tele-
phone at present is mere baby, with
the promise of a gigantic develop
ment by the side of which the tele-
graph will be dwarf.
