"Cheery CHEEKY! be cheery!" in
loud, clear voice; and then would follow
a feeble, wavering. uncertain attempt
to copy the song. Again papa would
chant the first strain, and baby would

Feeding Calves for Early Returns.

The thrifty calf precedes the growthy
profitable steer, as the badly-nOurished
calf is always the forerunner of the tardy
grower. 1t is as much within the prov
nee of the farmers to cultivate the d.
be soil upon which he grows his crop
Of corn. The stomach OF the calf, like
hat of the young child, is small, and
he too common practice of permitting
I to distend itself with grass. depend
ng upon this, even after frost has in
part or wholly destroyed its nutritious
ness, is altogether wrong. As the
weather grows cold the calls hunger
induces it to gorge itself. and the place
where this is most effectually done is in
The stalk field. 1t is too much the GUS
som to look forward to the time for
turning into the stalks as the occasion
when the calf will become thrifty and
grow apace. The staring coat is liable
70 deceive if we take that as an indica-
ion that the ribs are becoming well
covered, and no man could more thor
oughIy deceive himself than by mistak-
mo the full belly as an indication of
thrift and growth.
The wise feeder will, on coming into
possession of lot of these distended
Joung things, straightway proceed to
rain down the bellies, knowing very
we'll that no perfect, or even tolerable,
DIGESTION can 90 on when the juices of
he stomach are absorbed and held by
such bulk of coarse provender. He
knows very well how to do this. having
observed in his practice that upon con-
,entrated food the calf will grow in stat
lre and lay liberal coating upon the
lbs, in place of becoming distended in
he abdomen and staring in the coat.
During the remainder of the fall season
calves should go under shelter at night,
being provided with dry bedding. For
his season of the year the cheapest pos
,ible kind of shelter. in the form of
she'd, is all sufficient, in which there
should be feed trough, and enough
yrain or ground feed and cake meal
should be given to insure that they do
1ot 90 to the frosted grass or stalks in
he morning so driven by hunger as to
ill themselves full of bulky. innutritious
yrass and stalks.
Under the custom now becoming pop
llar, namely, the feeding of steers at a
young age, it is of the highest impor-
lance that no time be lost in securing
growth to the frame and muscles, as
well as in cultivating the digestive
forces, as the training of the organs
which appropriate the food is as much
subject to discipline as are the outward
motions of the body. 1t is required to
be more generally understood than now,
that the digestive organs are as liable to
lire from having too much food put up
On them, or from this being of charac-
ter unsuited to the animal, as are the
muscles liable to exhaustion from over
work, or from even doing what would
appear to be moderate amount of Ia
Dor, if this be of an unusual character.
When the digestion of young stock is
disturbed, it is folly, as a general prac-
lice, to attempt to correct this through
the use of drugs. II there be fermenta-
hon and consequent generation Of too
much acid, little lime water or soda
will neutralize the acid and to that ex-
ent will aid in giving relief. But be-

The Chinese Race.

On board the Australia, on which !
sailed to Honolulu, writes Moncure d.
Conway, there is q rather venerable
Chinaman, called John Tuck, who is
nearly blind and seems to do only light
work. When a number of years ago
one Of the Pacific Mail ships was taking
a cargo of gold to Hong Kong..a fire
broke out, the Chinese sailors were de
moralized and this man mainly con.
trolled them, taking the side of the
officers. 1t was largely owing to him
that the crew did not seize everything
for a piratical expedition. THE ship
sunk and there is some talk of trying
to find the bars of gold still in thai
water. The company would not part
from John Tuck after that. They all
speak highly of the Chinese servants or
board, and surely there could not be
better servants. Our cooks are China.
men, and only wish there were such
on some Of the Atlantic steamships on
which l have travelled. Every dish
that comes on the table has plainly had
special care bestowed on it, and oul
daily curry Gan old traveller tells me)
is equal to any that can be got in any
country. There are on board about 1OC
Chinese, men and women, on their way
to settle in the Sandwich Islands. Evel
since we left San Francisco, and even
now, when we are in the tropics, these
people prefer to cram themselves like
sardineS in their hold beneath the deck
and play dominos while they melt
rather than enjoy their deck and the
l,ax Co.. L.
ing of these Cinnamon must be curious
ly constructed. The women, several OF
whom have babies, do not play al
dominos, nor anything else, yet, instead
of enjoying the open air, they sit in
their small rooms below the deck. The
captain showed me around the ship,
and in one small room we found fouI
women and two babies, though they
are all allotted ample room. There
seems to be a swarming instinct,
as of bees in a hive, at work in them.
l observed that the two Chinese babies
were decidedly pretty. and there was
nothing in their features that appeared
characteristic of their race. 1 could
hardly have distinguished them from
bright mulatto infants. Unless while

served no Chinaman in state of re-
pose. No matter what the heat or the
time of day, these men seem to be al
ways doing something, as if motion
rather than inertia were their natural
state. They move about as noiselessly
as necessarily, and at table appear to
anticipate ones request before it is
uttered. Their faces are always peace
full, and l have only observed one that
has any wrinkles in it. They are said
to have remarkably good health, despite
their disregard of ventilation and their
opium smoking. Their two passions
are opium and gambling, but their
friendlier critics say that they do not
carry either to the excess prevalent
among whisky drinkers and gamblers
of whittier complexion.

THE BIRD OF THE MORNING.

If every bird has his vocation, as a
poetical French writer suggests, that of
the American robin must be to inspire
cheerfulness and contentment in men.
His joyous Cheer up! cheer up!
CHEEKY! Be CHEEKY! Be cheeryH'
poured out in the early morning from
the top branch of the highest tree in the
neighborhood, is one OF the most stimu-
lating sounds of spring. He must be
unfeeling, indeed, who can help desert
ing his bed and peering through blinds
till he discovers the charming philoso-
pher, with head erect and breast glow
ing in the dawning light, forgetting the
cares of life in the ecstasy of song.
Beside admonishing others to cheer
fulnesS. the robin sets the example. Not
only is his cheering voice the first in the
morning and the last at night-of the
day birds-but no rain is wet enough to
dampen his spirits. In drizzly. I'M
comfortable day, when all other birds
go about their necessary tasks of food
bunting in dismal silence, the robin is
not whit less happy than when the sun
shines; and his CHEEKY voice rings out
TO comfort not only the inmates of the
damp little home in the maple, but the
owners of water-proofs and umbrellas
who NOPE in the house.
The most delightful study of one sum-
mer, not. long ago, was the daily life,
the joys and sorrows, of a family of
robins, whose pretty castle in the air
rested on a stout fork of a maple-tree
branch near my window. Day by day
watched their ways till l learned to
know them well
The seat chosen for observations was
under a tree on the lawn, which hap
pened to be the robins hunting-ground:
and here | sat for hours at time,
quietly looking on at his work and lis
tening to the robin talk around me;
the. low. confidential chat in the trees
where the little wife was busy, the live
" gossip across the street with neigh
bors in another tree, the warning ..Tut!
tut!' when 3 stranger appeared, the
warery when an intruding bird was to
be driven away, and the Joyous
s'P-e-e-p! tut, tut, tut, :" when he alight-
I'd on the fence and surveyed the lawn
before him. tapping his wings and
jerking his tail with every note.
In truth, the sounds one hears in a
robin neighborhood are almost as vari-
Gus as those that salute his ear among
people; the laugh, the cry. the scold,
Che gentle word, the warning, the
alarm, and many others.
When first took my seat felt like
an intruder, which the robin plainly
considered me to be. He eyed me with
the greatest suspicion, alighting on the
ground in terrible flutter, resolved to
brave the ogre, yet on the alert, and
ready for instant flight should anything
threaten. The moment he touched the
ground, he would lower his head and

This is true of animals of any age, but,
as with the infant, is particularly true
of young things that are, so to speak,
only step from the use of the mothers
milk to the coarsest and most bulky
food used by grown up, hardy cattle.
A growing plant may justly be said
to have q species of instinct by which
it is governed in the amount of food
which it takes up by the roots. Yet, as
all well-educated in such matters know,
plants are made to take on diseased SC
ton by being Over-stimulated with rich
food. The digestive and assimulativs
powers Of the plant are, so to speak,
overtaxed, and, as in our farm animals,
this disturbed nutrition shows itself up
on the surface in the way of morbid
growths and surface disorders. So, by
bearing in mind that to rear young
calves to the best advantage there must
be g fitness In the amount of food given

all the evidences now point out as the
real solution Of the meat question. The

How Sweet Herbs are Used.

Few persons are aware to what ex-
tent sweet herbs are used in this coun-
try. We recently gave some account
Of noted English herb and flower
farm, the products of which are used for
the manufacture of various fragrant
essential oils and essences. Since then,
believing that this culture might be
made a source Of profit 10 many of those
members of farmers families who are
willing and axious to devote spare time
to such work as they may be capable
of, we have made some inquiries in re-
gard to the use of these flowers and
herbs. And it is rather surprising to
find that there is a considerable con-
sumption of them here, but all are i'm
ported. with the exception of the oil
produced from peppermint, and of that
a considerable quantity is exported.
Of this kind OF oils the following are
staple articles of sale and consumption
by perfumers, druggists, artists and
others; the present market values are

chamomile, thirty cents; elder, fourteen

large quantity is used in the prepare

which the odors and fiavors are easily
recognized. OF lavender flowers $4,000
pounds are imported yearly from Ger
many for this use, while coriander,
anise, fennel, cummin and caraway
seeds, and laurel, sweet clover, dill and
rosemary leaves are also used in large
quantities for making what are known
as fiavors for the tobacco manufacture
ers. In passing it might be said that
some other subtances not so agreeable
or innocent are also used. Americans,
as q people, are too much disposed to
despise small economies; but it might
possibly be the case that in time we
may change our disposition in this re-
spect and discover the ACCESSIBILITY of
adding to our incomes by the cultiva-

aggregate might put good many
