The Family Cow in Midsummer.

On farms where the dairy is an i'm
portant part of the husbandry, provis-
ION is made by sowing sOiling crops, to
supplement the dimin she'd pasturage
IN midsummer. Those who keep only
the .,lam;ly cow or at most: two or
three cows. find the flow OF milk to ue-
crease, and often without any green
crop provided for keeping it up. The
territory of these who keep but a single
COW, is often restricted to small pas
ture and vegetable garden. The gar
den should be made to supplement the
pasture, and this NAV be done to some
extent by securing for tn, COW much

Summer Feeding Of Calves.

A calf cannot he reared on meal.
When milk is scarce it seems to be
thought by some that it is only neces-
sary to substitute so much cOrn-meal to
satisfy the necessities of the young
creature. Milk is special food the
solid portions are all in solution and
readily digest bic. Indeed, when it is
sweet it can be absorbed into the system
almost without change, through the
tactical vessels, and discharged from
these into the theoranic duct, and SO
contribute directly to the enrichment
OF the blood Solid food must be mace
rated and dissolved before it enters the
intestines ard can be absorbed by the
lacteals, and there 90 through the as
similative process; but when the young
animal has not yet acquired the ability
to digest solid food taese necessary pro-
cesses are not completed. and, OF
course, the intestines become dis
ordered, and the common provis on OF
nature to get rid of the indigestible
matter which we call diarrhea begins to
operate. Then the young animal is
subjected to two evils under which it
quickly succumbs. These are. first. 4
severe dra n on the system from the
pain and exhaustion of the dlarrhea;
and. second, complete deprivation of
nourishment from the suspension of
digestion. 1t is worse than no food,
because the food tax n is an injury and
exhausts instead of being n benefit
and nOurishing the animal.
The difficulty is removed by the
proper selection and preparation of the
food. We may know precisely what
food to select. knowing the special
needs of the animal and the actual
constituents of the food. A young
animal requires chiefly nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and carbon in its food, and
these are furnished in such substances
as oatmeal, cornmeal, bran, and lin
seed meal. and these must be gi.en in
solution at first, and until the stomach
is able to digest solid food. his it
does at about our to eight weeks old,
after which it will live wholly upon
solid food. but will do better if its
| food is partly in solution up to the age
of three or four months. BY thorough
| boiling or even cooking these foods
NAV be brought into soluble and di-
| gestible condition, and the liquid should
Be reduced to the consistenee of milk.
The great mistake is in feeding too
much and. by overlooking the diges-
tive organs, to produce exhaustive diar-
rhea and the accompanying spasms.
Three quarts twice a day is ample
sufficient for a calf up to month
old, when the ration may be gradually
increased up to four or five quarts al
the end of the second month. with the
addition of little solid food, as grass
or hay. 1t IS not well to- increase the
grain food af. er this, bit the calf may
BE- gradually used to take this dry, anc
the liquid may be watsred more liber
ally. until water only is given for thu

A Live Fly Catcher.

it catch flies. If riflemen coull aim as
it does with its tongue, they would be

How do they live in the winter"
..Toads crawl into crack in the
earth or bury themselves in MD.
There are numerous stories about The
length of time they can live without

ments showed that they could live two
years, so that we must conclude that
the legends of the discovery in the
bowels of the earth of toads that posi-
bly lived before Noah are misleading
They certainly get modicum OF air IN
their hiding-places. There is no trust
worthy account of a live geological
toad. There are tosds found in stones,
but they are merely housed UP in a
solid coat of sun-baked CLAW. which on
the exterior seems as hard IS stone.

through which it gets air and drink.

cealed in a knot of a tree. where it has
been encased in bark; but here. too, it
is not wholly licked up from air: 1t

A Pest Of the Rose Bush.

The rose has its aphides and its thrips.
The aphis is the well-known pot-bellied
little green insect that clusters by the
hundred on all the tenderest new
growths, an almost motionless crowd,
but an active one, nevertheless, injur-
ing the plant and producing thousands
of new creatures of Their own kind.
At this time the aphides are all fe-
males. No males are in existence. The
first brood Matching out in the spring
are all females. AS soon as the leaves
unfold the virgin rears its brood of
Young: these in turn produce their
spinster offspring. Ano the number of
broods is only limited by the approach
of frost. finally, alter from eight to
ten broods, males and females appear.
The latter lay fortified eggs. by which
the species is represented during the
winter. such are the powers of multi
plit alton of these aphides that SPRING
born virgin may become the
happy mother of a quintillion daugh-
tiers and granddaughter. A certain
species, which Fougard calls "Puceron
lanigere," produces ten viviparous gen.
erations and one Oviparous generation.
ach generation produces from ninety
to 10 individuals, the mean of which
