EiIf there Is anything our dairymea are not
doing, as a rule says a Wisconsin exchange,
it is raising their calves. As an illustration
take jefferson County, which has, al told,
about 900O0 cows It is safe to estimate that
fully thres-fOurths OF the mum ler bore calves
this season. Yet from the bsst data We can
obtain wed do not believe that more chan 8. 900
calves viii be raised in the eutire County.
Our farmers are blind 10 the immense waste
of wealth that is going on in this direction
By the use of a thin oatmeal Cruel, slightly
soured, three calves can be easily and hind-
somely raised on the skim milk of
one COW. That is, We would give each
calf a third ration of skim milk
twice day, and from one to two quarts of
thin oatmeal Cruel in the milk ss often. We
have tried this way OF raising calves, and
know whereof we speak. q farmer with a

SproutIng Wheat.


II is generally supposed that a grain of
wheat if put in the ground would germinate
anyway, bat such is far from a fact. Wheat
needs three essentials to cause growth-heat,
moistuae and air-and il any one of the
three is withheld there is failure. A kernel
of wheat placed in a dish. dry dust would
never spr0ut; give it 8 triiie of moisture,
sickly blade will afer a while appear, but so
lacking in vigor that its growth will soon
cease. Give it only light and water, it will
throw out strong root and even stalk, but
the life OF the plant is measured exactly By
within itself. and when this storeis exhausted
the plant dies. Give the plant moisture aud

ing uncomplmentary remarks. He was re-
called to settle the costs, and upon leaving
again put on his hat, repeating the illusions
regarding the court and officers. He was d.
rected t0 remove bis hat, and not doing so was
called back a second time and requested to take
off his hat and sit down. The headlcOvering was
removed, but as 10 sitting down Mr.. Hall said
he preferred standing, and by the gods he In

him SOS, and ordered him confined In jail one

ShOrt-hOrns and Ayrshires for the
Dairy.

Robert McAdam, at the eighth an
nual meeting of the Ayrshire Breed
erS' association, New York city, Feb
ruary 90, 1883, read:
In attempting to ascertain the mer-
its of the different breeds of dairy
COWS, it is essential, in fair compar-
ison, to ignore the wonderful yields of
individual cows, as reported by the
various experimenters. There are, in
almost all of these cases, exceptional
circumstances calculated to impose
upon the unwary amateur, such as
milking these COWS three or four
times day and feeding them their
own milk and other costly foods.
Such trials furnish no criterion of the
real merits of the breed for milking.
This can only be done by placing
a number of cows of different
breeds to pasture together and then
keeping their milk separate, making a
careful record of each kind, when by
weighing, churning, making cheese
ETC., the value of each breed may be
accurately ascertained. THERE'S also
another accurate way of ascertaining
on large scale. the comparative mer.
its of the different breeds OF cows

A Railroad In Trouble.

CHICAGO. July 31.-Application
was made in the United States circuit
court to-day for leave to file petition
for a receiver for the Toledo, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis railroad. The ap-
plicatiOn made by Granville d. Bran
nan, one of the heavy bond holders of
the road, who alleges the concern is
so involved financially it must stop
business unless a receiver is ap-
pointed. The road runs from Toledo
to st. Louis, with branches to Cincin-
natl and the coal fields of Indiana,
and operating total of $40 miles of
line. The statement in the bill shows
$22,OOO,OOO bonded debt, 100000 I'M
paid vouchers, and 100000 indebted
ness for which the equipment is
pledged, besides a floating debt of
1864 600; that a large amount of
right-of-way will he lost unless the
purchase money is soon paid; and
that 500 miles of mortgages and credi-
tors threaten to foreclose. Rrannan
alleges the creditors will realize moth
ing unless a receiver is appointed at
once. Mr.. Dwight, the manager,
acknowledged all the property owned
by the company and subject to exc
cution has been levied upon. The
court reserved decision till to-mor-
row morning. but intimated it would
grant the prayer.
