weaving the Calf.

Whether it is better to let the calf suck it's
mother at all or not is debatable question.
Many dairymen, especially in the old coun-
try, prefer to remove the calf as soon as
dropped and never let it suck or the COW to
even see it, while others allow the calf to run
with the COW three or four days. 1t depends
great deal upon whether large amount of
milk is the prime object or fine calf. When
the COW is not allowed to see or suckle her
calf she will not care much for it, and will
not be liable to hold her milk and to dry her.
self up as when the calf is allowed to run
with her for short time, and, as conse-
squence, it is thought she will give better sat
isfaction all through her milking period On
the other hand it is claimed that the calf will
not do so well unless allowed to draw its
nourishment direct from the mother for sew
eral days at first, and that if thrifty calf is
wanted this is essential. Each one must
judge for himself but either method will be
productive Of good results if the COW and
calf are only properly fed and tended.

As long ago as in 1882 Russia had no less
than IS, GA, 72S horses, and although that is
still the leading horse country in the world,
in the half century intervening between that
time and the present the number Of head has
decreased to 16, 800, 900. Horse breeding is
in some degree on the wane among the Mus
oovites, although Russia still has nearly L.
800, 600 more horses than Austria. Hungary,
Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Swe-
den, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland
Switzerland, Greece and Portugal combined
The United States comes next to Russia in
the number of its horses.

draining these into cisterns and tanks. The
liquid weddings are nearly as valuable as the
solid and care should be taken TO save them
for utilization on the impoverished soils. The
farmer owes it as a duty to save everything
which can in any way be used as fertilizer
on his land yet how many fail to recognize
what vast amount of richness they have al
lowed to go to waste all these years by not
properly saving the liquid weddings of their
stock

l was coming down on the Boston and
Maine yesterday, says a Biddeford Journal
correspondent, and in the seat opposite mine
sat man and a woman. l did not notice the
couple particularly until ths mAn took an or
ange from bag and began to peel it, The
way in which he went to work attracted my
attention, and until he had finished and passed
the fruit to the woman beside him l watched
with interest every motion. In the first place
he made an incision in the peel with his knife
that extended clear around the orange, oppos
lite the grain. Then with dexterous move
ment he ran the point Of the knife quite a
distance under both halves of the peel, one oil
which he entirely removed and the other be
pulled nearly off. After that he took out the
tough and tasteless cord like substance that
extends through the center of the orange, anG
with few touches of the knife, the fruit wal
spread out in eighths in the half of the pee
that formed sort of cup, and the work wal
done l don't think he was engaged owe
two minutes, and must say l never saw any
thing done so cleverly and completely. The
juicy fruit was not torn particle, and it was
an easy matter to free the pieces from tn,
peel which prevented the juice from escaping

s. O. Psttee of Merrimsck county, N. H.,
evidently forest infdel, contributes the
following to the Germantown Telegraph
have been looking over the statistics of
the tenth census, and was particularly in
terested in the part relating to woodlands
and forests of the United States. Any one
who reads the newspapers closely would
naturally be led to suppose that the farmers
of the United States were running their farms
by an unwarranted slaughter of their forests,
by cutting off and selling the wood and tim
Der thereon, and at the rate this is going on,
in the course Of fifty years there would not
be enough left to support the fires on the
farm and keep the buildings in repair, and in
order TO prevent this Wholesale waste, nation
al and state legislation is necessary, and that
bounties should be offered by the several
states to encourage the farmers to devote
more attention to the cultivation of their for
ests.
Now let US look at the facts In the United
States there we're 100, 225, 744 acres Of wood
land and forest, and in that year (1879) there
were consumed of forest products, which in
cludes all the wood and lumber, $95, 744, 1856
worth this would average fifty cents worth
from each acre throughout the country.
These figures are facts and they surprise me,
Mr.. Editor. Only, think the farmers of the
country cutting of, on an average, about
one tree to the acre year of their forests, and
thereby causing droughts, drying up of
springs, and brooks and rivers This ia all
theory and cannot be sustained. There were
as severe droughts in the seventeenth CEN
fury, when the country was dense wilder
ness from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans,
as there are at the present time. Why, the
farmers of Michigan, Pennsylvania, New
York and the eastern states are actually
aonanunina lapa kuvn
per year of the wood and timber of their
forests.
The farmers of New Hampshire are con.
suming and selling more than two million
dollars worth of wood and timber year, and
yet there are more trees growing to day than
there were fifty years ago, they are gaining
upon us fast and the great question is,
How shall we get rid of the bushes ?" Well,
we must let them grow, it is natures method
OF restoring the elements of fertility to a
worn out and sterile soil

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?

Among the many symptoms
Of Dyspepsia or indigestion,
the most prominent are: Va
riable appetite; faint, gnawing
feeling at pit Of the stomach,
with unsatisfled craving for
food; heartburn, feeling Of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in
the mouth, low spirits, general
prostration, headache, and
constipation. There is no form
of disease more prevalent than
Dyspepsia, and none so pecul-
lar to the high-living and rap
id-eating American people.
Alcohol and tobacco produce
Dyspepsia; also, bad air, etc.

2OOO feet above the sea level. About fifty
years ago the forest on these hills was oul
down and burned TO the ground, and the
land brought into excellent pasturage ovei
which hundreds Of merino sheep roamed,
but to day 1t is covered by dense growth OF
oak and maple, large enough for piles and
ship timber, worth twice as much as the or
iRinal growth. What is true in this locality
will hold good throughout the state My
idea is that the old growth had better be sent
to market-the quicker the better-the money
