Rearing Cnlyes.

The business of rearing good calves
some persons treat as of no conse-
quence, feeding and treating them
with much irregularity. They are apt
to take pains with the domestic ami
mails about the house, but those of the
farm are often neglected. To have
fine, large cattle, good care must be
taken of the calves from the very
start. Last year bought mich COW
with calf two weeks old. / immedi-
ately permanently separated them,
and taught the calf to drink skinned
milk and eat hay, sometimes giving it
a little corn meal mixed with fresh
milk. The calf soon learned to drink
and eat, and has grown apace, and is
now very handsome heifer. The
COW, in few days, became weaned,
and gave an abundance of milk. a,
calf may be readily taught to drink its
food, simply by pressing its head into
the pail with one hand and inserting
the forefinger of the other into its
mouth. BY this method it will III
stinctively suck its beverage. When
a calf is about six weeks old, turn it
into lot of grass to pasture, but con,
tinue to give it meal and milk, and
skinned milk twice day. By this
process increase the size nearly one
third beyond that attained by my
neighbors' neglected ones of equal age.
To have fine calf, he must be kept
ander the farmers eye, and always
well fed, -H0nsehoid and Farm.

from the doctor that to try an expert.

from the doctor that to try an expert
ment he had purchased bag of finely
ground limestone, and going into the
centre Of his field, he had sowed by
hand In the form of these letters to
see If 1t would have any effect upon
the grass, and this was the wonderful
result. The grass forming these let
ters was double in quantity, and of
quite different color"
While this is an exceedingly salts
factory experiment. it must not be
taken as conclusive as a proof that the
ground limestone would always have
this remarkable result. Indeed, there
are circumstances known in which no
effect whatever has been noticed from
a similar application. The secret, we
think. lies in the fact that DR.. Sharp
in his farm practice has followed a
very excellent and skillful method of
supplying his soil literally with car
bonaceous matters. Having a very
just appreciation of the value of this
kind of manure he has applied it free
ly to his soil. The land is, therefore,
well supplied with organic forms of
carbon compounds, especially carbonic
acid. 1t is known fact that lime
stone is freely dissolved in water con
tanning carbonic acid, while it may be
insoluble in water that is devoid of
this solvent. This is point of great
Importance, and shoull be taken into
consideration. 1t is consistent with
the general fact that special fertilizers
are most useful in soils rich in organic
matter, and very often wholly inert
otherwise. This fact seems to explain
why ground limestone is so variously
estimated, and why in one case it is
remarkably effective and in others
quite the reyerse.-Ne1o York Times

The Way Sponges Are Taken on the
Florida Coast.

! OVss''s~
The vessels engaged in this business
vary in size from five 70 sixty tons.
These vessels are supplied with small
boats or "dinkies, one boat to every
two men. There is one man extra who
cooks for the crew and takes charge OF
the vessel while the small boats ara
! sponging. The outfit of small boat
cons SITS of a sponge-hook sAttached to
| the end of q long pole, water glass this
| IS a wooden bucket with the bottom re-
moved and glass insertetfsin its place J.
of the scnlling oar, aud propels the
boat, while the other in TIE bow OF the
boat, with his breast lying over the
gnnwale a little TO oned side, looks
through the water glass, with his head
in the bucket, which floats upon the
surface of the water. The water be-
meath the glass is calm, and objects are
magnlfied SO that one can See distinctly
objects upon the bottom OF the water
SIX OF eight fathons deep, aad over AZ
area that will cover a quarter OF all acre
at one view. The sponges are usually
attached to rocks upon sAhe bottom.
When the man looking through the glass
sees one, he pfunses the pole with the
hook attached to the bottom, fastens it
to the sponge, tears it .oosAsxaises it to
the surface and places it "a the boat.
If, after being severed from the bot
tom, it is dropped from the hook before
it reaches the surface Of the water, it
floats for time. Each sa0nge is en-
veloped in thin, dirty locking mem
brane, and the sponge itself is full of
animal life, jelly-like in appearance.
These are placed upon the decks of the
larger boats until sufficient quantity
is obtained, then they are 4placed in
pens or kraals made in shallow water.
Here they remain from four to ten days
according to temperature, preparatory
to the cleansing process. which is ac-
complished by thoroughly beating the
sponge with club, and afterward care
fully washing ably this time-the
filth out of them. They are afterward
strung into lunches, averaging about
one and half pounds. They are put
upon the market in this condition. Kew
West buys about eight tenths of all that
are taken ia the Florida waters. They
usually bring about S1.5O q pound.
There are supposed to be about 500
sail engaged in this business upon the
various sponge-bars in Florida waters.

Changing Greely,s Copy.

George w. Smalley, London corro-
spondent of the Tribune, is q son-in-
law Of Wendell Phillips. He gradu
ated from Yale College, and won his
journalistic spurs by writing in q bag
gage-car a report of the battle of An
tietam. In 1867, while John Russell
Young was off on a tantrum, Smalley
was temporarily in charge of the Tsib-
une. Amos J. Cummings was night
editor. Greeley had written an ed
itorial article one night, and, having an
engagement to lecture before Father
Mathew society, had left the Office with
cut reading his proof sheets. Ho
asked Cummings to go over the revise
proof. Amos did SO, John Robinson
holding the manuscript. Everything
was all right, but when Amos went mp
stairs to make up the editorial page he
found q surprising mark on the revised
proof-sheet. Greeley had referred to
~Syms' Hole" in his article, and
Snalley, who had never heard of
"Sims' Hole" had knocked out the
word "Sims'" and marked in Holmes
Hole" Amos went down stairs and
expostulated with him, hut Yale Col

Latter . Day BOhemians.

It was q great crowd that hung
around Pfaaff's in the days when the
famous hum orist, Charley Browne, was
delivering his 100 lectures at Dodworth
Hall. Josh Billings used to go there
then, when he was only poor auction
eer. But Josh was not Bohemian by
sympathy-he was too saving for that.
Bret Harte, Bailey, the Danbury Ne,cs
man, Griswold, and the celebrated hu-
morist, Leonard, hung out there.
Charley Brown was at one time q
Cleveland journalist, but the proprietor
of Tdnity Fair took him to New York,
paying him $1,000 a year. When
Fa,sity Fair died at the end OF
eighteen months, "Artemus Ward"
swore that he killed it with his CHASTITY
humor. for Browne was humorlst of no
mean merit, and was something of q
Bohemian, and remarkably brilliant
one in conversation.
OF the Bohemians of to-day, volumes
may be written. Some of the finest
work on the metropolitan press comes
from their caustic pens. New York has
Bohemians who, when they have passed
away, will leave . lustrous fame.
Chicago has its Bohemia, and many OF
the cleverest productions that grace
the pages of the great dailies there are
the work of the guild. There are but
one or two Bohemians in Detroit, hui
many in st. Louis and New Orleans,
and more in Washington and Paris.
London, however. is Bohemia par ex.
cellence of the world, for the best
writer's on the press there, and the
most brilliant critics and poets, are all
of Bohemia. NJ Grunan,o,ed,
