Fce6in9 Young S;o liz.

Young animals requi.sa in
feeding. There - be
thought of in re- =. .1s.n!s ma farm
work. \ young calf, colt. OF lamb must
be enabled to bald up n framework of
bone before it can put Oh flesh. Many
an animal is weakened before it has
matured its growth, so tbat it can never
be hcaIthtul. There are peculiar diseases
which affect young animals that are pro.
duced by want Of proper nutrition. When
lnll.gfOwn animal has formed its frame
and clothed it with muscular tissue it
requires such food only that will restore
the waste of this tissue that is caused by
work or eXertiou, expended in the vital
functions, or in such labor as it may be
called upon to perform. CarbOnaceous
| fool, as starch, OIL and cellular fibre, is
chiefly required, and when fat is desired
this same kind of food is given in in
creased quantities. But young animals
cannot live BEAUTIFULLY or build up a ro-
bust constitution upon this kind Of food.
They require large quantity Of lime and
phOsphoric acid for the bones and of
nitrogen for the flesh while the carbon
aceous elements only are required to sus-
tain the respiratory process and the ami
mai heat. A mach less quantity of
starch and oil, then is required while a
larger supply of the phosphateS and of
| heterogeneous clements are needed in pro-
| portion to the carbonaceous food.
Bran, which contains the larger por-
ton of the phosphates in grain; tur-
nips; clover hay, which contains more
nitrogen than any other fodder; peas,
oats, pea straw, lnseed meal, and, were
it not too rich to be digestible and to be
a safe food, because it is so apt to be
given to excess, cottonseed meal; all
these form the best foods for young ami
mails.
But few farmers can be induced to give
such foods as these to their young stock,
because they are the most costly of all
kinds of feeding substances; and in
general these young animals, which
really require the best, are given the
poorest. A calf fed upon straw and the
waste from the horse and COW stalls dur
ing the winter is a pitia5le object in the
| spring; razor backed, hump backed, pot
bellied, bug headed. big kneed, hide
bound, and in every way wretched. Many
such calves are to be seen here and there,
and but few comparatively of the fine,
well formed, sleek, thrifty young things
which have lived upon the STAT of the
farm" This poor economy is great
waste. 1t is waste because for all the
food consumed not one ounce of growth
is made, and farmer might just as un
wisely burn all his domestic fuel out o.
doors ard waste the heat upon the win
! try winds and leave his household shiv,
ering in a cold house as thus expend the
fodder given to his young animals. This
is timely subject for consideration, anG
affects one of those matters of farm worl
upon which the farmers profit and wei
fare greatly depends. -Nea0 York Times

wooden shoes. The proprietor is Ger
man, and for some time has supplied the
brewers in New York with wooden shoes
for their employees, and the demand has
now become so extensive as to require
much greater facilities and the aid of
steam power. The shoes have the APP
proved curved round toe of the old
Dutch style and are heelless. They are
made wholly of the wood of the butter

guests assembled on the lawn with music
from an ACCORDION. A flock of geese
were feeding in the road just below the
house, and with outstretched necks
answered back with loud notes of salts
faction. Soon q white gander began
dancing lively jig, keeping good time
to the music. For several minutes he
kept upthe performance to the great de-
light of the company.
The experiment was tried severa! times
for week or more, and the tones OF
the ACCORDION never failed to set the old
gander into a lively dance. A bobolink,
placed in cage with some canaries, ex-
hibited great delight at their songs. He
did not sing himself, but with peculiar
cluck could always set the canaries sing

their songs note by note, and in the
course of few weeks mastered the en-.
