Raising Calves

The important point in raising calves,
at whatever season these may have been
dropped. is to give tho animals fair start
in life, for which purpose nothing equals
milk as 1t ia taken from the COW. Though
some practice separating the call from
the COW the day after it is dropped, 1t Is
generally preferable to let it run with the
COW for four or hte days. taking all the
milk. At least this period ought to elapse
after calf is dropped before the milk will
be fit TO nse as human food. After separ-
ating the calf from the COW, new milk
should be literally fed for two weeks. and
il this can be continued even longer 1t Is
advisable. No substitute for new milk
should be given under two weeks: After
that, however, more economical food may
be compounded, il desired, aud the call
will still thrive. II skim.milk can now be
afforded the calf will thrive on liberal

A Pointer Prom ireland for the Nations
Agricultural Onicials.
WASHINGTON, May IS.-Last week Pro
fessor WiIletts, assistant secretary OF agri-
culture, had under consideration a letter
from Ireland. which he thinks may offer a
solution of the economic problem, "What
shall take the place of the wheat on the
farms where il can no longer be raised at a
profit ?" The writer, who has been famIl-
lar with fax sowing and linen mRnufac-
turing since 1s40, says in his interesting
communication, that there are only two
establishments for weaving. One is at
Webster, Mass, and the other is at Apple
ton, Wis, the latter doing but little,
and neither weaving anything finer
than crash. There is nothing in the eli
mate or soil conflicting with the assertion
that Just as good fax and linen may be
produced in every state in the American
union as in any country. Germany now
spins and weaves the finest linen and she
has no essentially different climate from
America Many things become successful
in America from the facility with which
the people take it up and adapt improved
processes and appliances, and this may be
the salvation Of the linen industry, of the
Importance of which there is no question.
There is every reason why the
American farmers should produce a mil
lion acres of fax OF both seed and fibre,
over and above what is now produced
which would give 100000 to Is. OOO. 900
bushels Of seed worth as many millions Of
dollars and would also give ten and half
millions tons Of flax straw which would he
worth $50 100000 and from which $500, 600
tons Of fax hoer would be obtained. worth
500, OO0. 900. Once established American
invention would as ia all other industries
soon butd up an industry 10 consume the
raw material. Prof Willette has Informed
the sender that the subject of his letters
would be earnestly considered by the de-
partment, which would lend its aid To ef-

arrived to day, reports that the cotton in
her hold spontaneously ignited on the night
of the Sth inst The FIRE burned fiercely,
but was quenched after five anxious hours,
during which everything had been gotten
in readiness to abandon the steamer. Great
fright prevailed among the passengers, who
remained on deck for forty-eight hours
Throegh the efforts TO quench the fire the
cabins were flooded. and two-thirds OF the
passengers luggage was spoiled Two of
the crew were Injured.
After the FIRE had gained considerable
headway some of those on board made
preparations 70 desert the ship, but were
prevented from doing so by the captain,
who threatened them with a revolver.
the heat became so intense that many pc r

Casks of lard. which formed part of the
vessels cargo, also furnished fuel for the
flames. Hope was well nigh abandoned
and boats were being lowered to leave the
threatened steamer, when IL occurred TO
the captain to try steam instead of water
against the FIRE. This plan was put in
execution and proved successful The
passengers have presented the captain with

lie Cruiser Charleston the FASTEST Fight
ing ship Aneat.
SANTA BARBARA, Gala, May 13.-The
cruiser Charleston left port yesterday
morning, steaming south for sixty miles,
and turning north again went ahead under
full head of steam, making an average of
eighteen and one-quarter knots, with de-
velopment of $500 horse power and 107
revolutions of her engines. This record
was maintained for a period of seventeen
minutes. This establishes the fact that as
the Charleston stands she is one of the
fastest modern fighting machines aflost,
not only of her type, but inclusive of the
entire class of cruisers in American OF for
eign navies. The starboard high pressure
slide which developed some hard spots in
the steel on the trip outward from San
Francisco. and which it was hoped had
been eliminated, compelled the starboard
engines to lower their speed, and the high
est development of steam power for four
continuous hours was therefore made i'm
possible.
WASHINGTON, May I3.-Chief Engineer
Melville is of the opinion that the cruiser
Charlest n will succeed in making the
necessary 1000 horsepower in another
trial. Ii appears the trouble with the port
engine is located in the crOss-head guide,
which had been the only faulty spot shown
in the trip down from San Francisco.
When the fault was developed recourse
was had to the device of placing a shin OF
wedge of metal between the troublesome
points, and this expedient was probably
not sufficient TO meet the case. The trouble
is not serious and can be remedied aboard
the ship, if indeed il has not been already
done. The fact that the boilers made
steam so rapidly that they were blowing
off during the trial Is regarded by engi-
neers as promising the realization of the
horse power requirement when the defect
in the port engine is corrected, and the
steam can al be used. Increased speed Is
looked for upon the next trial, because of
the coal being used up rapidly and the
vessel being lightened.

court this morning. The testimony showed
there were 1000 inmates, with room for
only 800; that the attendance was insult
ficient and the food bad
Evidence was introduced 70 the effect
that patients were fed on pigs heads for an
entire year, with potatoes for vegetables
the patients fought for possession of the
potatoes with the result that the weak
got none, and over fifty of the in
mates became affected with scurvy.
One of the medical attendants testified that
la one ward there was an average of thirty
patients with only nine rooms, or an
average of three in each room. lt was ab-
sOlutely necessary to have only one or two
in some of the rooms, so that four persons
were crowded into others. These rooms
are 55TX1O feet wide, but in many cases two
patients are forced to sleep ia them. Under
such circumstances, with insufficient at
tendants, the patients would climb over
the cots and fight and the medical
attendant was frequently called six OF
