But in this case "ma is worn out with

have seen young ladies scarcely out

in . state Of inebriety that verged upon
total obliviousness. A restaurateur
told me that his best-paying customers
were ladies Of wealth and position,
who could afford : private room and
the best wise his house afforded.
" Why" said be, "I'ye had as many

orn;,holosist as the late Mr.. Gould
wss q one time inclined to distrust the
old tale Of the young cuckoos turning
out Of The nest the rightfdl tenants,
apparently unconscious that one o. the
esrliest contributions TO science OF the
famous Jenncr was an account Of such
! scene. Whether . suspicion ever
crosses the foster-psrents' brain that
there Is something wrong Il -
hard to say. At all events they
are assiduous in feeding their I'M
grateful bantlings, sometimes even sit
ting on their backs in order TO reach
the mouths Of the overgrown dcdglings.
Shakespeare will have 1t that the young
cuckoo devours not only Its foster
brothers and sisters, but ultimately
consumes its foster-psrents also. Hap
PLY this awful charge 10 not confirmed
by more accurate observation. Yet the
reality is bad enough without the adj
dition Of any calumny. OF late years
cucculic literature has been increased
by some hot debates over the theory
which teaches that the cuckoo selects .
nest for the deposition Of its eggs in &C.
cordance with the color Of those laid by
the foster-parent. This ides seems lit
tie fanciful. Itmay be that now and then
the cuckoo chooses snest which already
contains eggs similar to her own. but
the egg in question is so often found
among Others differing totally from It IN
color that, apart from the difficulty Of
supposing that the cuckoo flies around
egg in mouth, seeking for a match in
color, or has any power Of influencing
the hue of its eggs, it is wise to main
tain neutral position toward the inge-
Nous theory with which the name Of
Herr BaIdamus is connected. And
there are so many moot points to be
solved without disputing over this
crur. Why, for example, should
the great spotted cuckoo build
nest for itself and hatch its young, as
has been asserted, denied, and asserted
again, and the domestic "paisano " Of
CALIFORNIA; near relation-construct
those wonderful "runs" for which it
is celebrated, while their cousin in
these ATTITUDES leads SO dissolute a
life? Again, it is more than probable
that the " unnatural parent" visits
its egg at intervals to see that 1t is
properly tended. Why, then, does il
not show decent affection at the outset,
and what circumstances first led to the
id, ption Of so extraordinary trait oil
character?

We are asked the value of butter
milk for swine and calves, and why it
is not considered as safe to feed with
any additional food, as skinned milk.
Butte7milk, if in good condition, has a
value very similar to skinned milk.
It is slightly richer in fat, having me
per cent. and slightly less albuminoid
matter. 1t is figured at tWenty-t Wo
cents per n hundred pounds. 1t will
produce a rapid growth on calves or
pigs if it does not derange the stomach.
But buttermilk is apt to be in a strong
condition of fermentation. This very
soon produces a bad form Of scours,
which, unless taken quickly, may end
fatally. 1t is hardly safe to feed but
termilk without mixing one-half
pound of finished middlings (what
farmers cali 'canet') per gallon Of
buttermilk. IT it is quite sour it
should be boiled with the middlings.
The heat will neutralize the acidity,
but it will not be as valuable as be-
fore fermentation has eaten up some
of the food elements. We often re-
commend keeping a little naxseed on
hand for use in checking scOurS and
it will be most useful here. Boil one
quart Of tlaXseed in six quarts of
water. This will become like Jelly.
Stir a little of the boiled tlaxseed into
the ration of each calf or into that for
several calves or pigs. The emollient
effect Of this is soothing to the stom-
ach. Feeders should not consider a
few bushels of tiaXSeed as adding to
expenses, for it is worth all it costs.
fed in small quantities. as promoting
rapid growth. We always use this in
stead of linseed oil, for there is danger
df getting impure oil, but the seed can
