ly thoroughbred calves allow them to
run with their dams, the most health.
full method possible; but with the or
binary COW this cannot be done. 1t will
not pay to do it and the calf must be
grown on skinned milk if at all. Some
are very successful in this and others
have difficulty. The calves do not eat
we'll or they have the '~'scours" or other
troubles of Indigestion. A great por.
ton of the difficulty may be removed
by feeding only sweet milk in the be-
ginning and ct q proper temperature.
Those who have had much experience
consider more frequent feeding the great
preventative of diseases. Mr.. +. Bur-
nett of Massachusetts,, an experienced
dairyman, said at the Vermont dairy
mans meeting the difference between
feeding calves three times a day and
twice a day might seem q small matter,
yet in his experience, itfrequently made
the difference between q live calf and a
dead one. Calves allowed to run at
large with their dams take their food
at short intervals, and therefore little
at a time; or, even if they take it from
the COW twice a day, they are much
longer in getting theirfll and get it the
right temperature and in o more natural
way. When they are fed from the pail
they take it very fast and very little
saliva is mixed with it to prepare it for
digestion. The intervals between feed
ings are frequently IA hours, andif the
calf gets a large quantity of milk not al
the right temperature, and swallowing
it in a few moments, 40 wonder it has
indigestion or some other trouble. The
only wonder is that SO many live through
that are treated this way.
A better plan which Mr.. Burnett sug
gests, and which has been tried by 9TH
ers with good results, is to feed the
calf three times per day, giving only
the same milk that would be fed in the
other way, and never to overfeed. Ex-
cessive feeding after long fast has a
very injurious effect on al animals, and
especially young ones, and if it does not
kill them outright will weaken their di-
gestion and do them permanent injury.
Let those who have had trouble with
their calves try this way of feeding
three times, and take pains to have the
milk at the right temperature and nev-
er overfeed. Probably many calves
that die suddenly, and, as supposed,
from unknown causes, are the victims
of injudicious and overlooking, The
stomach becomes so distended that it
cannot act, the food sours and poison
u gas is formed and the animal dies
in a few hours.

Sound Doctrine.
rom The Toledo Blade.

FROM tho Toledo Blade.
Every physician and every scientist
who has made a study of the physical
and mental organization of man will tell
him that no man can violate any of the
laws of nature without taking from him
self something which he can never get
back. This is true of the physical.
mental and moral man. No matter
what a mans religious belief many be.
there are certain rules of morals which.
if he violates, he pays the penalty for,
and no matter what his
ideas of physical life may be there are
rules governing just as inhcxible, the
violation of which brings a penalty lust
as certain. The indomitable ambition
and the wonderful will of Napoleon i'm
PEELED him to labor when he should
have slept, and he died young. An un-
usually strong constitution may enable
a man to eat or drink too much for
years, but he pays the penalty in .
shortened life and a premature old age.
A nan may drink sc much beer a day
and live to be 10O-without it he would
have lived to be $50.

Care of an Asparagus Bed.

Samuel Hartwell said, in the course
ofhis remarks before the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, that he had a
bed of asparagus of an acre and a-quar-
ter, which had been planted 10 Or 10
years, and which had yielded a net pro-
fit of 800 in one year. He usually man
ures in Spring, though the Fall might
be preferable, but the Spring is more
convenient because he collects most of
his manure in the Winter. 1t will take
all the manure one can afford to give it,
and the finer it is the better. The bed
can only be plowcd shallow, On account
OF the danger ofinjuring the roots. He
plows as early Us the weather
will permit, and harrows a week
or fortnight later, and as
late as possible without injuring the
shoots, goes over it with a bush harrow,
to make the soil fine. He cuts from
about the Goth of May to the Goth of
June, though some cut until the 4th of
July. The time depends somewhat on
how it sells, but too late cutting will in
jure the roots. In an old bed, the rows
spread and make more work hand weed
ing. He weeds only once until after
ceasing to cut, and then goes over it
with a shares harrow. He does not like
tohave Seeding plants come up between
the rows; they are as bad as weeds.
Seed-bearing exhausts the ground, just
MS cucumbers allowed to go to seed ex-
haust the ground more than if cut for
pickles. He used three or four barrels
OF fsh-salt on his asparagus bed, but
could not say whether it did any good.

1t was an old lady in Kennebec

entirely unaided, should be running o

asked the reporter. "I notice your

must find it hard getting down to the
village"
Yes, you aresright there" respond
ed the old but energetic lady. "Some-
Zines / can't get out for five or six

take anything they see in print for gos-

one got his notions printed in a farming
paper, and the other Teller saw the

she added.
The writer walked out to the door,
and the first thing that attracted his at
sentlon was a tombstone in front of the
piazza. He was about to ask if it was
erected in this certainly unusual spot at
the particular .equest:o of some near and
dear relative, when he noticed that q
ring was passed through the top Of the
marble stone and that it served the pur-
pose Of an ordinary hitching post.
Therefore he forebore lest he should
touch on a forbidden topic, and even
the broadcast hints did not elicit any in
formation on the subject of the sepul-
ehrai horse fastener. Everything Shout
the farm, to use a localism, was in ap-,
ple-pls order, just as one might find the
Iarn OF an old farmer with able-bodied'
IONS to help him.

the cucumbers have been in brine 26
hours wipe them thoroughly and pack
them in glass IN Heat vinegar to
the boiling point with a few cloves to
keep it. Wrap towels, wrung from hot
water, under aud around the cans, fill
them up with the hot vinegar, and

kettle and put into it six quarts of sl,elled
corn. Boil over q brisk fire half an
hour, skimming and stirring frequently,
strain off the I've and rinse the corn
thoroughly in several clear waters.
Then put the corr in a large pan, COW
er it with water, and rub thoroughly
till the black chits come off; rinse till
the water is clear; then put into a clean
kettle with water enough to cover it
and parboil three or four times, pour
ing off the water each time. Then boil
till quite soft, taking care that it does
not burn. Add two tablespoonfuls salt
during the last boiling.

Forming a Good lawn.

If about to form a new lawn, be it
large or small, it will pay you to make
a good job of it. Whether prepared by
pillow or spade, the land should be sub
soiled and care be taken to keep the
good, or surface soil, ut the top, and the
subsoil in the bottom, rs before. A
good dressing of well-rotted is
highly beneficial. It should be turned
under, but kept within a few inches Of
the surface, SO as to be of immediate as
sistance to the young grass. When pre-.
pairing the ground, it is we'll to remove
what rocks and stumps may be within a
foot of the surface. This subsoiling
will not only be of lasting benefit to the
grass, but also to whatever trees
or shrubs are to be grown upon the
space. twill likewise lessen the severity
Of Summers drought. To make really
goodjob, the ground should be prepared
in Fall and left unfinished till Spring,
by which time reins, frost and snow
will settled it so that all unevenouss
is readily discovered and then easily
mended. But if we have to prepare our
ground in Spring to be laid down to
at once, wherever stumps or stones
have been removed the soil should be
firmly packedfrom the bottom up then
the whole surface of the lot should be
properly leveled, trod or rolled.
Whether we SOW or sod our lawns, it
should be done as'early in Spring as the
ground is in mellow, working order, so
as to give the grass a good
chance to get established before
the dry, warm Summer sets in.
Whether level, rolling, or sloping, the
surface of the lawn should be smooth
and even, without any Fuckers, bumps
or hollows, and SO disposed that in Sum
mer or Winter, water will not lodge in
pools in any part of it. Good drainage
is very important, not only for the well
fare of the grass, but also for that of the
trees, shrubs, roses and other plants.
1t possible, banks such as those around
the house, also 10 or 20-inch wide strip
along the edge of the walks or roadways,
should be sodded rather than sown, but
broad, open spaces, as the body Of the
lawn, may as well be seeded down as sod
ded. An old COW pasture yields excel
lent sod.-Rural New Yorker.
