Rearing = Calf.

/ Rearing = CALI.
A young calf cannot digest solid food,
and if it cannot be fed upon milk some
substitute for this OF similar character
must be provided. The food at any rate
must be liquid and must be ensily d.
gestible. II sweet whey can be pro-
cured this may be mixed with q Cruel
made of inseed- oil cake meal, which is
perhaps the best material that can be
found, but 1t must be we'll boiled. light
" salted, and added to the whey to
make q drink Of the same Temperature
as new milk. OF this from two to three
quarts may be given alta meal twice a
day. Without the whey water in which
bran has been boiled may be used, and
the addition OF little oatmeal to the
bran would he useful; in this case one
ounce Of sui gar should be added to each
NEAL Of the Cruel. II tho calf does well
on this food, as some have done, no
change should be made for month,
when the quantity should be gradually
increased as the calf may require, and
some grass also should be supplied.

Working Horses Without Shoes.
Horses.in state Of nature never wear
shoes and are never lame. It is only
when they are civilized and brought
under the Encouragement Of clviliz~
alton that they suffer from tender and
diseased feet. It is quite possible for
horses to be used to go barefooted ii
they are trained to it, but it is with
them as it is with men, the soles of the
feet, become hardened by the use and
softened by the protection of shoes.
On soils that are free from stone it is
quite possible to work horses without
shoes and very beneficially; the sole
thickens; the hoof crust is worn down
naturally; the frog protects by it's elias
tic cushion tho whole foot and disease is
avsrted. The common navicular dis
ease may be cured by taking off the
shoes and permitting the horse to go
barefoot, first in the field and afterward
On the roads, when these are not too
rough and stony. N. Y. Times.
rAe Weight OF Cream and It's Product OF
Butter.
The weight and quality of cream de-
pendupon various circumstances. The
purer it is the lighter it is and the less
specific gravity it has, Pure cream
cannot be churned very we'll because it
has not enough liquid in it to separate
the particles of butter. Cream that
contains half of it's weight of butter
weighs precisely two pounds to the
quart, which is Little less than water,
and it's specific gravity is about 96-100
of that of water. Cream raised in deep
cans is heavier, as it contains only one
fourth Of it's weight OF butter, and its
specific gravity is about 1.01, or 1ol-
100 OF that of water. Pure cream,
which can only be procured by heating
the milk and in the form Of clouted
cream, weighs 2aA ounces to the quart,
and, if beaten UP for a few minutes,
makes a soft butter from which no but
termilk or other liquid separates, but
the butter will not keep more than "a
hours. The most butter Wa have ever
procured from quantity of cream was
one pound from one and one-half pints.
This was from Guernsey cream.-New
York Times.
