MAKING VEAL.
One Feature of the Dairy That Is NOT
Often Profitably Worked. 1

One Feature of the Dairy That Is NOT
Often Profitably Worked.
There is one feature of the dairy that
is not often worked as profita5ly as il
should be, and that is making veal. All
the bull calves and many of the heifers
can be turned TO much profit if they
are handled skillfully. To make good
veal, the calf should not only be fat and
of proper age when killed. but the fat
should be put on under proper condi.
tons. If allowed too much exercise,
there will be not only much DELAY in
arriving at the proper condition. but
the flesh will not be as tender and Juicy
as it should be. 1t matters not whether
the calf is raised on the dam or by hand.
if the latter method is properly pursued.
We get the following excellent plan from
an exchange: You want to take your
calf off the COW at three DAYS old: have
muzZle made for it similar to the one
they sometimes have for dogs. Keep it
in a clean. dry. airy but darkened
room. and feed 1t nothing but pure and
skinned milk, warm as if fresh from
the COW. twice or three times day;
give il all If can take. and it will get
fat in six or eight weeks. The muzzle
is for the purpose of preventing it from
taking straw. hay, and other foreign
substances. The darkened room is a
great factor in this fattening process,
as it keeps the calf quiet and induces it
to sleep a great deal, which greatly
hastens the fattening process. This
method is, of course. only for raising
calves for veal. If the object is to make
mixers of the calves. they need the
exercise and slow growth of slower
methods. Good veal is too much rare
object in the market. and calves prop
erly fattened should bring enough more
than ordinary calves to pay well for tie
extra trouble, Il it can be called trouble.

HORSE STABLES.

Condition and Health of a Horse Depend
ent Upon the Condition of Its Stable.
The condition and health of horse
depends very much upon the kind OF
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes.
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases. all of which are produced
by TIE pungent foul air in the stables.
Farmers and others who have horses
will take aims to keep their carriages
and harness protected from the strong
ammoniacal air OF the stables lest the
leather, Inay be retted or the varnish
dulled and spotted; and at the same
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or have weak eyes or moon
blindness, or suffer from other diseases,
which. if they would only think for
few minutes, they would readily per-
ceiye, are due to!the foul air the animals
are compelled to breathe every night IN
the year while confined in close, badly
ventilated stables. The remedy is very
easy The stable should be kept clean;
this will prevent the greater part of the
mischief; and it should be well venti-
Lated. The floor should be properly
drained, so that the liquid VIII not re-
main on it, to be absorbed, and decom-
pose. and produce the pungent yapors
of ammonia, which are SO injurious 10
the eyes, nostrils, throat and lungs, and
this LIQUID waste should be carried away
to some place where it can be absorbe
and utilized. The floor should be
washed off at least twice week with
plenty of water and then literally
sprinkled with Underground gypsum
(plaster) which will combine with the
ammonia, and fix it. A solution OF cop
peras (sulphate of iron) will have the
same result Lastly. the floor should
be supplied with absorbent litter, which
should be removed when it is soilCd.
Ventilation should be provided in such
a way as to avoid cold drafts. Small
openings, which may be easily closed
with slide. may be made in the on cr
wall near the floor. and similar one
near the ceiling, or in the root, through
which the foul air can escape Pure All
is of the utmost importance TO the we'll
being of horses. As an instance of it
may be mentioned the fact that in the
English cavalry stables complete sys-
tenn of ventilation reduced the average
loss of horses from the deadly disease,
CHAMBERS, from one hundred and thirty
two per thousand, yearly, to niRe in the
Thousand; and when a similar improve
ment was made in the French army
stables, the percentage of death was re-
duced in a similar ratio. with still
larger decrease of milder ailments

STATE DE6TS.
Final Action Withheld In an Important
Ruling to Await Action by Congress.

Final Action Withheld In an Important
Ruling to Await Action by Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-ComptrOller Dur
ham has just rendered an important decis-
ion as to whether debt due to the State of
Mississippi by the Government shall be
paid or applied as credit against the d.
rect taxes certified as due from said State
by former comptroller. Comptroller Tay-
lor certified that the direct taxes appor-
toned by the act Of 1861 were due from the
State. The greater portion of these remain
unpaid and the State stands charged with
them on the books of the department under
this certificate. There is now due to the
State on account of commission OH the next
proceeds of sales of public lands therein
an amount less than the balance Of taxes
unpaid and charged as stated. Section 1866
of the revised statutes requires the account
ing officers to withhold payment from any
person who is in arrears to the Government
and to make set off. Two questions arise:
First, is the State in its corporate
capacity indebted to the United States on
account of the direct taxes; second, If not,
how far is the present Comptroller bound
by the certificate of Comptroller Taylor i'm
applying the provisions of section 1866 Of
the revised statutes. Comptroller Durham
holds that under the constitution the direct
taxes were assessed against the citizens of
the State and not against the States and
hence were not an indebtedness Of the
State in the corporate capacity, but
that the certificate of former Comp
troller is, under section 1911 of the
revised statutes and the Supreme
Court decision, binding upon successor
and subject to revision only by Congress or
the courts. He decides therefore to with
hold final action upon the matter until the
attention of Congress can be called to the
same, which will be done in his next an
nual report to the Secretary of the Treas
ury. The principle involved in this case
affects good many of the States, and
very considerable amount of money.

The Cashmere Earthquake.

CALCUTTA, June 9.-Dispatches continue
to be received here about the earthquake in
the valley of Cashmere. Whole villages
have been destroyed. and Dubgood, jana
lapar AID Ovan have disappeared entirely,
having been completely engulfed in the
awful CONFUSION. During the continuance
of the shocks sulphurous dust was sent
forth, impregnating the atmosphere. At
the same time volumes of hot water issued
from great assures in the earth. The gram
aries in many parts of the vale have been
swallowed up. A large supply of rice and
a considerable amount of money have been
distributed throughout the vale of CASH
mere to relieve the distress of the people.
1t is estimated that 200 were killed.

PRICE MAKES THE MARE GO.

Many Good Things Despised Only Because
They Are Dirt Cheap.
"Style is everything nowadays" said
a Market street merchant to reporter
yesterday, as he ordered street arab
out of his store and reprimanded clerk
for throwing a piece of paper on the
floor. Yes, style is everything" he
continued. I'VE have departed from
the inexpensive and simple customs of
our fathers. We are democrats no
longer; we are aristocrats, whether we
have money to carry out our preten-
tons or not. The utility of thing is
not taken into considerations in our
purchases. Look at the calico on that
counter. 1t is beautiful. makes hand
some dresses and wears well but scarce
ly any one buys it. Why? Because
the price is only eight or ten cents a
yard. There can be no other reason.
AT that rate a dress-pattern would cost
about one dollar. What lady would be
caught wearing dress that cost only
one dollar. She would feel everlast-
ingly disgraced. But put the price
up to seventy-five cents or one
dollar yard. and they would
all want it. The high price would
make it fashionable. and there would
be such rush we would be troubled to
supply the demand"
''Do you ever talk to your wife in
that style?" inquired the reporter.
NO; but she is like the rest of Them"

he resumed. rabbits were so plentiful
as to be drug on the market. They
could be bought for five or ten cents
apiece. At that price nobody would
eat them. Here in Pittsburgh, where
they command from fifty to six
ty cents pair, they are
considered a great delicacy.
and everybody eats rabbit. What
makes the difference? The price. What
else could it beP There is no difference
in the animal, for rabbit is rabbit the
world over"
After pausing a moment and glanc-
ing sharply at his clerks, the merchant
continued:
BEEF liver is considered a plebeian
article of diet, solely because it is dirt
cheap. If by chance any person buys
it, it is tucked away in the bottom of
the basket, SO as to be secure from
prying eyes. The average man or
woman would feel disgraced if it were
known they had eaten liver. Raise the
price for liver to fifteen or twenty-five
cents pound and there would be a
rush for it. 1t would be the fashiona-
bic dish. Ladies would serve it at their
teas, and pass it around at their social
gatherings. But so long as it can be
had for the asking it will remain the
despised thing it is. And so with
many other things. You see how it is
style and price are everything.
utility is nowhere. The man or woman
who don't throw money away is looked
down upon. If they have none of their
own to squander they must squander
somebody else's.
81 could tell you more of the same
sort" he added, "but it is my supper
hour" saying which he directed the
cashier to turn out one of the two gas
lights he was using and walked off
toward home. leaving the reporter to
draw moral from the discourse he
had listened to, which task is submitted
to the reader as the quickest way out
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DiSDdtch.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June 9.-The
prison inspectors this afternoon by a
unanimous vote located the branch peni-
Tertiary at Cape Girardeau. The last visit
to Kansas City was made for the purpose of
obtaining information as to the cost of the

purchased for anything like the amount
named in the bill the idea of locating it
near that city was abandoned. The citi-
