the bell. When the people began to arrive
he building was wrapped in flames which

The fire engine arrived early and was kept
busy saving the adjoining buildings,
which were in imminent peril. But the
evaporator burned. So did the stave and

a. i. Crosby, of Rockland Farm.
Maryland, says IN the Prairie Farmer:
My practice has been to let the calf suck
the COW for two or three days, and then
take it away and teach it to drink milk:
or if milk is too valuable for calf food,
Hnseed meal tea, or hay tea; the latter
have never tried. 1.-THE calfis be to sold to
the butcher at or weeks old it is still
the best policy to wean it early, as the
shorter the time it stays with the COW
the less the cow will worry when the
calf Is taken away. Some prefer to re-
move the calf before it has had a chance
to suck, even before the COW has licked
it dry, This never do, believing that
it is better for both COW and calfto leave
them together for a dav or two. IF
the cows udder is ''caked" the butting
of the calf is the best remedy | know of,
as she will stand rougher treatment from
the calf than she will from hand rubbing.
Especially is this so IN the case of heifers
with their first calves. 1t is much easier
TO teach calf to drink that has been al
lowed foreman only a few days with its
mother, but it is better for the COW to have
her milk drawn rapidly by good mixer
than to have it drawn internationally by
the calf. 1t is better for the calf to have
the milk given it in regular quantities,
which is impossible when it is allowed to
suck. After the first week, skim-milk
and linseed meal may be gradually
substituted for the fresh milk,
with no injury to the growth of the
calf, as the oil in the linseed meal takes
the place of the fat removed in the
cream. In fact when the COW is q rich
mixer (the oaly COW it pays to fee | if
we are making buttcr), Think there is
less danger of scours when the calf is
fed on skim milk and linseed meal tea
than if fed on the whole milk. The
longer the calf remains with the cow
the more danger there is of its sucking
its mother, or another COW, after it is
allowed to run with the rest of the
stock

Prejudices of Fowls.

There is no doubt but that the fowls
have their likes aud dislikes which arc
quite as decided as our own. If any one
has ever tried to drive a hen in the di-
rection not suited to her inclinations he
will agree with me that it is hard to find
any animal more "set' in its way than
this fussy, squawling, nervously dis
tracted hen. For this reason it is best
to study their habits and instincts, and
where they do not interfere with the
vegetable garden or something of that
like, to conform to their likes and dis
likes as much as possible, for
be sure that the better you
understand your fowls the better you
will be able to care for them, and conse-
quently the better able they will be to do
for you, 1t is we'll known that hens
take great delight in laying in out of the
way places, often causing great loss and
annoyance thereby to their owners. Now
IN this you must manage them very much
as you would a,man; let them think that
they are having their own way, when in
reality they are doing just as you want
them to do. Have series of rests or
boxes with the entrance in rear away
from the light, with hinged door in
front for convenience in gathering the
eggs. If nests are lousy, hens will not
lay in them if they can find any other
nook, and it is most important that they
should be frequently and thoroughly
whitewashed l never set hen Gas I
have seen neighbors do) a second time
in the same nest without burning the old
straw and filling anew.-[PouItry

sleep OF" a Headache.

a scientific writer says: "Sleep, if
taken at the right moment, will prevent
an attack of nervous headache. If the
subjects of such headaches will watch
the symptoms of its coming, they can
notice that it begins with feeling of
WEAKNESS and heaviness This is the
time that 4 sleep of an hour or two, as
nature guides, will cffectually prevent
the headache. If not taken just then it
will be too late, for after the attack is
fairly under way it is impossible to get
sleep until far into the night perhaps.
1t is so common in these days for doc
tors to forbid having their patients
walked to take medicine, if they are
asleep when the hour comes round, that
the people have learned the lesson pret
ty well, and they generally know that
sleeps better for the sick than medicine.
But It is not well known that sleep is a
wonderful preventive of disease-better
than tonic regulators and stimulants."

An Old-Time Wedding

Weddings, says the Youths Com
panion, are generally merry occasions in
our time. The religious services are
simple, and the company of guests,
whether large or small, is in high spirits,
and counts upon a lively time. It is
quite possible that not even the persons
most nearly interested comprehend the
soIemnity OF the act of marriage, and of
the serious responsibilities that come
with it. A century and half ago in
New England the solemnity was more
marked. and the religious services
formed a dominant element. DR. Isaac
Backus gives graphic account of his
marriage, Nov. 30, 1749:
"a Psalm was read by K v. Mr.. Shep-
ard, of Attleboro', hymn was sung.
and prayer offered. Then 1 took nv
dear Susan by the hand, and spoke
something of the sense l had of our
standing and acting in the presence of
God, and also how He had clearly
pointed out to me this person to be nv
companion and helper meet for me.
Then I declared the marriage covenant,
and she did the same. Thereupon
Esquire Foster solemnly declared that
we were husband and wife. Brother
Shepard wished us blessing, and gave
US good exhortation, as did some
Others. Another prayer was offered,
after which all united in singing the one
hundred and first Psalm"
This was followed by short sermon
from the groom.

The Mouth.

The mouth contains seventeen distinct
species of micro organism, according to
NJ. Vignal, who has of late succeeded in
lsolating and cultivating them, ard test
ing their action on foods. Of these or
ganisms, dissolve cooked aIbumen; 5
swell it, or render it transparent: 10
dissolve fibrin; 4 render it transparent,
or swell it; 8 dissolve gluten; trans
form starch, but only 1 acts with some
energy; another seems to live upon it
but without transforming it; coagu-
late milk; 6 dissolve casein; 9 transform
lactose into lactric acid: Z intervert
cane, cause glucose to ferment. and
transform it partially into alcohol All
these actions are more or less energetic
Six of the buccal organisms were found
in the f@ces. Vignal concludes that
micro organisms play an important part
in the digestion of food = Medical

An Opportunity for Manure Making.

To preserve a healthful condition,
maintain the vital warmth, and keep the
skin in proper action, thorough carding
and brushing should not beneglected in
a winter dairy and the utmost cleanli-
ness in every respect should be observed.
Abundant supplies of absorbents, Of
which dried swamp muck is the best,
and hardwood sawdust and fresh leaves
next, and in place of these cut straw, or
any other fine waste material should be
procured. The winter dairy is a grand
opportunity for making manure, and
the Improvement Of a farm, and to this
end every possible economy in saving
and preserving the manure should be
exercised. The feeding must be liberal
and of the best food 1t must be regu-
lar IN quality, quantity and time; be-
cause of the food the butter must come,
and in quality and quantity will be ex-
actly equivalent to the food given

OR FARM AND GARDEN.
Pruning Orchards.

Orchards may be trimmed now or any
time during the winter that may be
convenient. But as rule the work IS
better done in spring than at any other
time. When dead limbs are cut off the
stirrups should be cut close to the body
Of the tree, and the wound painted over
with linseed oil and iron paint to ex-
cude the wet, which would rot the
wood and cause the tree to decay. An
axe should never be used in pruning; a
sharp tine-toothed saw, with plenty Of
set to the teeth, is the best instrument
for this work. Small limbs should be
cut close to the bark of the branches to
avoid sprouts growing from the stirrups.
The rubbish should be removed and
burned with all the eggs of insects
which are apt to be upon it.-[New
