Sucking Calves.

new leaf must be turned regarding
the sucking of calves, both as re-
spcCts the COW and calf II one sets
out 20 breed, it is necessary that a
COW should bring a calf every year.
She willnot do this many years in sue
Cesslon If the calf sucks too long
Calves that suck over four months
either prevent regular breeding OF the
dam or injure the coming progeny
-Four months is long enough, perhaps
too long. The Gait should learn to eat
grain at three months old, and be
weaned at four months. Our grain is
plenty and cheap. Nothing pays bet
ter than pushing calves with twenty
cent oats, or twenty-five cent corn.
The COW relieved OF the calf is sure to
breed regularly, besides she recuper-
ates for winter, and will 90 through
the cold weather with less grain or
without grain. So that the grain fed
to the calf before and after weaving
obvlates the necessity Of giving grain
to the COW should she have been re-
duCed by sucking a calf six months
up to cold weather To make the
sucking OF calves pay at all, the calf
must be a good one, the COW must be
young and growing. A calfmust come
every year regularly, or if thecow fails
she goes to the butcher We know by
experience that these points must be
made, and that they can only be made
by limiting the calf, and that the well
bred calf will naturally take to eating
grain and thriving on it. This para
graph Is suggested by the existing con-
dition OF prices for cattle, where good
ones sell for six cents, and poor ones
sell for from two to four cents gross

Glover Exhausting the Soil.

We usually speak of clover as q rem
ovatlng crop, and so it is But there
Is one way in which it may be madeto
exhaust the soil almost as rapidly as
by the most shiftless cultivation, and
that Is by sowing clover alternately
with wheat. Good crops are produced
for awhile, but sooner or later the
clover ceases to grow as it formerly
did, by which time the land is pretty
badly run down. Undoubtedly the
clover supplies a great amount of
plant food to the wheat, but it gets
nothing except from the soil, and it's
capacity for developing latent plant
food IS the secret of it's power of ex-
haustion.
But in the case specified it is not the
clover but the grain crop which should
becharged with destroying soil fertility.
Wheat is one of tn hardest crops on
land that can be grown. and it is not
surprising that the best wheat-growipg
localities OF thirty or forty years ago
are the places where now the demand
for phosphate manureis the largest. In
some cases manuring with clover is
not the best means of restoring such
lands, unless the clover is cut and fed
to stock with other feed and the ma

SHIP Alloy :
BY CHARLES L. THOMPSON.

How can we tell what coming people ar

rom the unknown seas ?"-DI KES5.
The ships Of the year have touched the shore;
Their ladng has been good;
And as We count their treasurers Ger
Their fine wheat for our food;
Their wine OF Love our hearts to cheer;
Spices from Long Ago;
Rare gifts Of friendship far and near;
The Love that loved US so
Our hearts beat quick to Him who kept
Our ships within His hand,
Whose breath, viii eve have toiled, or slept,
Has waited them TO land.
But from the treasures at our feet,
We lift expectaIt eyes;
The peunOns OF a distant heet
Are fecked against the skies.
Aiar-like phantom ships-they ride;
But every Sunrise casts
Deeper reflections in the tide,
And stateier rise the masts.
The sails. like pinions OF the gull,
Curve forw ard, sharp and thin;
The dancing hours clasp the hull
Our ships are coming in.
What faces Ger the gunwale lean,
To meet US on the strand
What eyes, alight with loving sheen
What stroke OF hand to hand?
What hearts against our hearts to fall
What loyal steps TO beat
Their n arch with ours, till comes the call
That halts the weary feet?
Ali who can tell7 But fair Hope keeps
Her watch by unknown seas;
And Faith-like Peter-seaward leaps,
And God be thanked for these!

The Husbandman says barn sheet
is something which ought to be found
on every farm, but seldom is. 1t Is
simply large sheet of heavy cotton
sheeting, sixteen yards being sufficient
to make a good sized one, to bespread
on the wagon bottom when buckwheat,
oats, or wheat which is too ripe, are
being drawn in. The saving OF shelled
grain which would otherwise be lost,
is not inconsiderable. 1t serves an
other purpose also, as it may be
spread over an unfinished stack dur
ing a sudden storm, or over a load OF
grain in bags in the field or on the way
to town.

New York Cor. Utica Observer
Brain exhaustion is the fashionable
complaint in New York. Everybody
works with his head instead of his
hands, and occasionally feels fatigued,
fancies that his brain tissue is dilapi-
dated. Ia the most crowded part OF
lower Broadway is asoda-water stand

regular bar in town. Women and
children are the principal customer

here the crowd is composed almost en-
tirely Of men, and the shop is never
shut. All night long half a dozen
hite-aproned fellows are busy behind
the counter. In the daytime the

chaps, while the night visitors are very
largely journalists employed in the
neighbOrhood of Printing House
Square. All these professional men
scorn the ordinary soda-water; nor
do SO many OF them take whisky in
lieu OF the sugared flavors; but the
demand for supposed brain bracing
mixtures Is astonishing. No saloon
bar on earth is stocked with hall the
variety OF beverages that are here in
constant request. Four managing
editors Of morning journals happened
to meet in this medico grocery, weary
