" thoroughbred calves allow them 20
run with their dams, tho most health
ful method possible; but with the orr
binary COW this cannot bedones twill
not pay to do it and the calf must be
grown on skinned milk if at all. Some
are very successful in this and others
have difficulty. The calves do not eat
we'll on they have the ssscours" or other
troubles of indigestion. A great por-
ton of the difficulty may be removed
by feeding only sweet milk in the be-
ginning and at q proper Temperature.
Those who have had much experience
consider more frequentfeeding the great
preventative of diseases. Mr.. e.. Bur-
nett of Massachusetts, an experienced
dairyman, said ut the Vermont dairy
mans meeting the difference between
feeding calves three times q day and
twice a day might seem q small matter,
yet in his experience, Mfrequently made
the difference between a live calf and q
dead one. Calves allowed to run at
large with their dams take their food
ct short intervals, and therefore little
at u time; or, even if they take it from
the COW twice a day, they are much
longerin getting theirfill and get it tho
right temperature ana III q morenatrraI
way. When they are fed from the pail
they take it very fast and very little
saliva is mixed with it to prepared for
digestion. The intervals between feed
ings are frequently IA hours, andif the
calf gets a large quantity of milk not at
the right temperature, and swallowing
it in o few moments, no wonder it has
indigestion or some other trouble. The
only wonder is thatso many live through
that are treated this way.
A better plan which Mr.. Burnett sug-
gests, and which has been tried, by 9TH
ers with good results, is t 0 feed the
calf three times per day, giving only
the same milk that would be fed in the
other way, and never to overfeea. Ex-
cessive feeding after long fastShas a
very injurious effect on all animals, and
especially young ones, and if it doesnot
kill them outright will weaken their di-
gestion and do them permanent injury.
Let those who have had trouble with
their calves tr.r this way of feeding
three times, and tn3He pains to have tho
milk at the right temperature and new
Ell overfeed. Probably many calves
that die suddenly, and, as supposed,
from unknown causes, are the victims
of injudicious and ovarfeeding. The
stomach becomes so tdistended Tint ii
cannot act, the food sotlrs and poison
Gus gas is formed and the animal dies
III a few hours.

Embroidery.

Embroiderers should have an eye for
color, and know something Of drawing,
and ut the anne time they should have
a love of flowers, and cultivate the habit
of observing them carefully. They will
then ~instinctively avoid those which are
beyond the range of their art. and con-
tent themselves with such forms and
colors as can be pleasiigly rendered in
silk and wool.iSl Tits good practice to
take up, one, character at, u time, and
make a regular study of it in this way.
Is is a pretty device to have ON the
chairhacks and teaelothiin the drawing
room, which require to be changed now
and then for the sake Of variety. only
such flowers as are in bloom at the time.
During the greater part of the year this
is quite practicable. In the whole
range of embroidery there is nothing
more charming than a set of dessert
mats, worked on c~ream-colored satin
with outline silks, and edged with
delicate lace, each having a garland of
the prevailing hower-violets in April,
pansiesin May, corntiowers in June,
forget-me-nots in July, single dahlias
in August, grapes and vine leaves in
September, and in the winter Virginia
creeper leayes.-American Queen.

MISCELLANY.

A correspondent at Salem, Mass,
writes in favor of free school books.
He says it has been proved by eyper-
fence that pupils, understanding that
the books are loaned to them, and that
it is al offensc to soil@er injure item,
take better cara Of tlicm. and they last
a year or two lonsev than their own
books. He contends that giving chill
arensffen books no more makes them
feeltbat oiies are objects Of charity than
does the giving Of teachers and school
houses at public expense. But, provid-
ing free books only Tor children whose
parents claim they are toopoor to buy
books, does place on such children TIE
brand of pauperism.
The phrase shat nine tailors make u
mani is said to have originated in the
following incident: In l742 an orphan
boy applied at o fashionable tailor's
shop in London, in which nine journey
men were employed. His interesting
appearance opened the hearts Of the
benevolent t~ailoTs, who Immediately
contributed nine shillings for the relief
of the little stranger. With this capital
he purchased fruit, which he retailed at
Il profit. Time passed or, and wealth
and honor smiled upon the young trades
man, so that when he SGT up his car
riage, instead of troubling the college
of heraldy for a crest, he painted the
following motto on the panel Of his
carrirge door: Mine tailors made me

sors shoulders in uorses.

Farm horses are most liable to have
sore shoulders in early spring, when IN
accustomed to work. If humanity docs
not lead to care in prevention and cure,
interest will prompt it, for certainly n
horse witllhsound shoulders will do
more work than if these be swollen and
lacerated. Prevention is better than
cure. The first point is to secure good,
we'll fitting collars, those of soft leatl-
err, of equal hardness on both sides.
Many collars are stuffed more solidly
on one side than on the other, and
should be rejected. The horse should
be fitted to u collar at the shop, as two
very seldom have shoulders exactly
alike. I have often wondered that
farmers do not have collars made espec-
tally for each horse. The cost
would be amply repaid, n is it
slight compared with the increased SER
vice that3would thus be secured. Ipre-
fer q collar stuffed with hair. The
leather should be kept we'll oiled, es-
tpecially where meeting the shoulder.
Pure meats foot oil makes the. leather
soft and pliable, and is good preven-
tive aud cure forsore shoulders. Cloth.
collars are now made, and cloth pads to

I keep in the stalls an old fruit can, and
a bag tied to the end of a cob; and it
takes but a moment to throw in ahand-

without stopping work, by removing
the pressure from the irritated spot.
One method is to cut a long, narrow slit

ness, remove part OF the stuffing and
make a little depression by pounding

not iniure the collar. Another method
is to use pads above and below the ten

considerable experience / consider the
best pad one made by stufing u coat

between the collar and shoulder. but
thinner where I'll passes under the names.
Hay works into Jumps less than rags,

spring the collar from the shoulders
when the draft slackens, giving them
opportunity to cool and rest. M. s.,
