REARING CALVES,

E. D. Richards, writing to the Aansri-
can Cu1t5oator, says: In the earlier days
it vas the general practice among dairy
farmers to allow the calf to run With its
dam during the first season. Such a
method is too expensive for these days.
Again, it works great damage to the coy
if she is to be kept for the dairy. When
the dams bag becomes healthy and IN
normal condition, the sooner the calf is
removed from her side the better for the
COW.
In order to give the calf a good start,
it Is well to let it drink part Of the moth
er's milk warm from the COW, but after a
few days give skim milk. II is advisable
to scald the milk for a few days to pre-
vent sours, which are inclined to trouble
calves raised by hand. Some dairymen
feed calves upon whey and turn them out
to grass. Such calves, if they live at all
until time to 60 to the barr are seldom
worth wintering. Long experience and
observation have confirmed me IN the
belief that the best and most ~susceszful
way to raise calves by hand is the English
custom Of keeping tken in the barn the
first season; give them a small yard where
they may 60 to and from their pen at
pleasure and take the fresh air. Keep
their quarters strictly clean, feed them
upon skim milk either sweet or sour, /
prefer it sour, give them all the good hay
that they will eat, and they will soon learn
to eat quite a quantity. Milk does not
take the place of water. They should
have fresh water daily. A few ground
oats daily will give them a fine start the
first season.
The future of any animal depends
upon the start it gets the first
year. Calves need salt. The best way
to salt them is to place a lump of mineral
salt within their reach then they will lap
it as they need. A box of fresh loan is
also an excellent thing to place within
reach. Calves fed upon milk crave
something of this sort. If the floor is
bedded with dry sand, it will guard
lice, which are a deadly foe to
calves or older cattle. The main point
which I wish to call attention to is the
benefit to be derived from keeping calves
in the baEnyard the first year in prefer
snce to turning them to grass. I have
never seen calves which are put cut to
grass as forward and strong in the fall as
those which are kept in and treated as
above indicated.

CONCERNING WEEDS.

Weeds are usually plants that do not
contain much valuable plant food. For
this reason they are not worth 80 much
for green manuring as are cultivated
plants, such as the grains and clover.
The damage they do is more in abstract.
ing moisture from the soil than plant
food, though what fertility they take is
usually near the surface, and therefore
possesses greater value for crops. The
common rag weed has very little value as
a manure. Pig weed grows only in rich
soil, and it contains mors valuable plant
food than any other plant; but it takes it
mainly from near the surface. Glover
has the great advantage as green manure
of drawing fertility from the subsoil.-

rock. At this time I thought I heard a
noise as of distant thunder, and the air
felt to me as if a storm was brewing. 1t
had come to be fully dark now, and af-
ter an interval of three or four minutes
there came a binding fash of lightning,
followed by a crash Of thunder, which
seemed to illuminate and shake the whole
island. The men suspended their eating
to look up, and the guard rose to his
feet. There was a minute Of perfect ST.
lence, and then there cems another flash,
followed by q rush up the ravine. A
drove of kangaroos, which must have
numbered 800, dashed right into our
camp, seemingly terrified BY the storm,
and as they reached as there was another
fash, a crash, and I heard the outlaws
shouting. I opened my eyes to see the
guard lying o. the earth and the path
clear, and guided by the instinct of self
preservation I dashed up the path. Some
of the beasts had gone ahead of me, and
some behind, each one squealing in
alarm, and I have no clear recollection OF
my trip out of the ravine. 1t came on to
rain at tremendous rate, and by and by
l found myself in the woods and com.

from the ravine. The storm lasted for
two or three hours, and after RECOVERING
my breath and my wits L crept into a
thicket and remained fhere until daylight.
Two hours later I had the good fortune
to come out of the woods in sight of the
ranch where Roberts had been killed,
and before noon I was at Shaw's. Three
days later after q new party was orgs-
nized and descended to the b~ushrangers'
hiding place. The fellows had departed
bag and baggage, and none of their kid
ney were seen in that section again for a
couple of years.-Neas 1ask Sun.

THE A r AND GARDEN.
CORN FODDER.

Where sweet corn is used in the fam
lily or sold in the market, the stalks On
which it is grown should be promptly
cut and fed to the COWS; they are better
fodder Than they win ever he again, and
all the better if few imperfect nubbins
remain ON the stalks. Some farmers
foolishly save these for seed, leaving the
stalks to dry up as they grew, and the
nubbins after all yielding little corn, and
that poor. Only the largest and earliest
ears should be saved for seed if the value
of the variety is to be maintained.-

The work on the new sidewalks is com
ing on disgustingly slow. Judge Dusen-
berry has the contract for the north and
south sides Of Union Square and the walks
on the square. Eight or ten cars Of as
phaltum are now here and more are coming
every day, still very little progress is TO be
seen on the work. d. Kay and his partner,
a California gentleman, will probably get
the greater part of this work if they go at
it in a business like manner. A telegram
lust received faom California says tools
and material are shipped. The walks made
by both parties are about the same In quail
ity. but the California man having an eX-
perience Of eight or ten years, Will no
doubt be able to outstrtp Dusenberry.
The city council passed an ordinance last
MAY to provide for building sidewalks IN
four districts out Of the original seventeen
into which the work was divided-assess-
ing each property holder q tax to cover the
cost of this improvement. These four DIS
tricts cover the most necessary part OF the
city's walks, namely, on Twenty-third from
Lincoln to Washington; Twenty fourth
from Wall 10 Jefferson; Twenty-tifth from
Wall to Jefferson, and Washington from
TWenty-secold to Twenty-hfth: rms
covers forty-siX blocks Of sidewalk,
nearly all of which will be sixteen 1eet
wide, the rest fourteen, costing SD ana
s.. 10 per front loot respectively. The
total tax will reach nearly forty thousand
dollars. Parties who have laid coal tar
walks since the ordinance was passed
will probably be allowed TO retain
them. The asphaltum that is to be
used. it is claimed, is of a quality
which can be utilized on the cross
inps also A test made at Provo was so
successful that it was claimed loaded
team passed over it only a few hours after
being laid and left nomarks 1t is thought
the remainder Of the sidewalks Will be
made of this material instead OF boards
to be seven or eight feet in width.
