Raising a Jersey Calf.

A common error in attempting to raise
a fine Jersey calf, is in allowing it to
have;all, or as much of its dams milk as
it will drink, and it is often the case that
the COW is fed very high on the richest
butter producing food >and two teats
taken for the family and the other two
given to the calf; and again the COW is
MIXED, about half the first milk from all
the teats and the balance left for the calf,
I have heard owners of Jersey cows boast
of giving the calf one.half of the milk
and making three. quarters to one pound
of butter off the other. All the above
plans are against the growing of heal.
thy, vigorous and large calf. The best
plans to raise fine, large and healthy
Jersey calf, is to let it suck COW that
gives large quantity of very poor milk.
This gives a large size and muscular
development, without much fat. If it be
necessary to raise jersey calf on its
dams milk, the plan should be to feed
such $food to the COW as will produce
large quantity Of milk of poor quality.
Never attempt to force Jersey cow for
butter, while the calf gets the milk and
always give the calf the first milk aud
use the last milk, which is much the
richest for the family. Think of the
waste there must be in feeding calf
one pound, or more of purebutter, in his
milk per day. This is double waste.
You do not want fat on Jersey; you
want growth and muscle. Besides. this
rich, buttery milk is not appropriated to
fat. It is only partially utilized when
fed iI small quantities. When fed in
large quantities. it damages the digestive
powers, which produces scours and other
ailments, that kill or dwarf 80 many
Jersey calves. Feeding Jersey COW to
grow fine calf is one thing, ano feeding
a Jersey COW to produce large quantity
of butter is another. While it is true
that the Jersey COW is the best butter
cow, it is also true that she can be fed SO
as to very much reduce the butter and
keep up the milk 6ow. Feeding the calf
from the pail is perhaps the best plan, if
done by an experienced and careful
hand; otherwise, there is more loss than
gain. If the calf could be fed good
Cruel, composed of skinned sweet milk,
oat meal, or wheat bran, and always in
the right quantity and the right temper
ature, it is perhaps as good plan as to
let the calf suck COW. But there is not
one hand in fifty that will do this prop
erly. If pail full of cruel is the right
temperature when the first calf is fed, it
will be too cold for the last one, and if
not stirred all the while, the first calf
gets thin, hot Cruel, and the last one
gets thick cold Cruel. Thus it will be
seen that it is very difficult to keep the
thing regular and if regularity is not
preserved strictly, some of the calves
will grow ''pot-belIied" and scrawny.-J.

The Cotton Harvester.

Mr.. G. P. Mason, Jr., is hard at work
putting up number of his Cotton Har-
vesters for introduction this fall. He
has enlarged his workshop, which is
supplied with an engine, lathe, and other
suitable machinery. He has arranged to
have the castings and the finer portions
of the machinery made North, where the
facilities for the work he needs are better
than here. Mr.. W. G. D. Stiles, Mr..
Harmon Noise, son of Mr.. G. II. Noise,
MIR. Mortimer, a machinist from Florence,
Dickie Mason, who is a universal genius,
and several "supes" are kept busily en-.
gagged.
Mr.. Mason is constantly in receipt of
solicitations from State and County fairs,
desiring the exhibition of the Harvester,
and he expects to take in Gold Medals
next fall by the peck. He is not at all
concerned as to the opinions of others
about the success of the Harvester. His
company is satisfied; be knows the ma.
chine is all right and his main concern
is to get sufficient number of them
finished by the time the present crop is
ready for gathering, SO as to have COM
plete and final test made Watchmas

A Priests Question and the Little
Girps Reply.

The Very Rev. William Keegan is
Vicar.General of the Long Island Dio.
cese and pastor of the Roman Catholic
Church of the Assumption in York street,
Brooklyn. He considers it duty to
know every one in his parish, and if he
sees a new face he quickly learns who
the owner is. He knows the ages of
most of the women and the occupations
of the men.
One day last week he was walking in
Jay street with one of the Youngest girls
who attends his parochial school. A
lady passing on the other side bowed,
and Father Keegan asked the child who
she was.
THAT is my MOTHER" responded the
girl.
. "How old is she?" asked the Vicar
General.
"About 30, sir, l think"
"And what was her maiden name?"
II don't remember" said Father
Keegan's pupil. Il was quite young
when my mother was married."
Father Keegan retained a very grave
face until he parted with the little one,
but since then as he tells the story to
those he meets he laughs immoderately
and laughs again.

r. E. Farrar and MENDOZA.

Reuben E. Farrar, one of the editors
of the Watertown Democrat in its last
days, turns up in sensational manner.
He writes a communication to an English
paper which is published March, 9th, his
letter being dated from Baraboo, and in
it he claims that he had escaped from
Mendoza Hospital where .he was incar-
cerated for some months previous. He
states that he was treated shamefully in
the Hospital being subjected to all sorts OF
discomftures. He says his being placed
in the hospital was the result of con-
spiracy in the part of some of his friends
to deprive him of his property and in
dulges in other similar outbursts indica-
tive of a mind still shattered. Farrar
appeals fer the interference of the Eng.
lish Government in his case, claiming
that he was never an American citizen
Now 80 far as his charges against Men
dota are concerned no one here believes
them. His aunt living here went to see
him at Mendoza and he talked to her in
the same way of the bad treatment he
was receiving when the lady saw for
herself that her nephew was being cared
for in the kindest and best smanner.
There can be no conspiracy in his case
on the property score as is not known
that he possesses a dollar in the world
nor likely through the demise of kind
offices of ony relatives or friends. 1t is a
matter of record at Jefferson, we under
stand, that Mr.. Farrar stook our papers
and became a citizen of the United

JUNEAU.

The License question is beginning to
be talked up among the village electors,
and there is quite general expression
of desire to have the amount fixed as high
as the law will allow. For the first time
it will not be necessary to raise any town
taxes for the coming year, the amount of
license money remaining in the town
treasurer's hands being sufficient for all
town purposes. Should the village au.
thorities decide to place the licence at
5000, it is believed that an amicable ar
rangement could be made with the town
authorities by which the village might
be allowed to retain a part of the licence
money for the improvement of the streets.

The Matter of o. Receipt.

John Heyman sued the city by his
attorney, III. Pease. Mr.. Cunningham
as deputy sheriff served the papers.
Heyman's suit became the subject of
some criticism and censure among our
people. Cunningham refused to make
return on the summons. Heyman
then sued the sheriff to compel him to
show cause why return was not made
by him. Judge Conger sustained the
sheriff. An appeal was next taken to
the Supreme Court and that court re-
versed the decision of Judge Conger
carrying the costs against Cunningham.
This is the history briefly Of the case
The city paid to Cunningham 5000 of
the costs against the opinion of the city
attorney who reported to the council
that it ought not to allow him one cent for
his claim for reimbursements. Mr.. Gun
ningham has been persistent in asking
for an extra allowance of $4,000 for his
services in this same HeymaE case, not
deeming 5000 sufficient. Monday even
ing the claim came up before the Board
of Street Commissioners to be acted upon
and the demand was sat down upon by
being indefinitely postponed on the
ground that Mr.. Cunningham had made
settlement with the city for 5000 and
gave his receipt in full for all claims aud
demands he had against the city up to
the date of said settlement. Further
comment is unnecessary in this strange
and remarkable case.
