THE FARM AND GARDEN.
Ecosomz1Na TEAMS IN SUMMER.

No farmer likes to be overstocked with
horses at any season, but the great amount
of farm work now done by horse labor
makes it more important to keep the
teams in use as much as possible. Horses
at work on the farm are better unshod,
and by doing all the road work with one
team considerable blacksmith's bill for
horse shoeing may be saved. Have the
collars fit the shoulders perfectly. Poorly
fitting collars early in the season cause
CALLED places, and these keep many a
horse idle when with little timely care
he would be better every way for hard
seasons work. Boston Cultirator.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MILK FOR YOUNG cALvE

SUBSTITUTE FOR MILK FOR YOUNG CALVES.
Young calves may be reared on the
food described as follows: Boil few
pounds of graham flour tied in a cloth
for few hours. 1t will then be hard
dry mass. This is grated fine and boiled
with little linseed meal into a thin
cruel which is strained and diluted to the
thinness of milk; pinch of salt and a
teaspoonful of sugar is added for each
pint. Feed one pint six times day. If
diarrh9a occurs, add to the flour-gruel
rice water with little gum arabic added,
and give less of the food. Very light but
frequent feeding is necessary to avoid in
digestion and consequent diarrhea. In
two or three weeks the calf will eat lit
tie fine hay, and an ounce or so at first of
mixed corn and oatmeal This may be
gradually increased, always taking care
to avoid too much of it.-New York

Ths Farmer a Skilled Laborer.

"hH.
r. WEIGH, in the Forum. jIIg 10 s.l9Nf
Viewed from the lofty standpoint
of the New York Hodcarrier's Union,
considered from the hall of the Phila-
delphia B~illposter's Protective Asso>
citation, the prairie farmer is simply
a clodhopper. He is a man who de-
cides to have corn, wheat, and pota-
toes, instead Of wild grass, grow ona
certain piece Of land, and plants the
seed that will produce them. In point
of fact, more knowledge and skill are
requisite for prosecuting his craft than
that of any city artisan 1T is
more difficult to manage "a reaping
machine than a...machine that turns
out brick. Greater knowledge is
needed to SOW grain than to move
switches in a freight yard. Much
more information, experience, and
skill r needed to raise tobacco
plants, to cultivate them, and proper
ly to cure the leaves, than to make
them into cigars. Laying drain tile
is a more difficult art than laying
brick. Properly to remove a fleece
from a sheep demands as great dex.
terity as to shave the beard from q
face. The successful farmer is neces'
sarily a skilled laborer. He is master
not of one trade, but of many, anG
a long time is required to learn eacf
of them. He is also a merchant, ant
to be prosperous he must be: a judge
of the quality of many things, anC
know how to buy and sell them II

Turning Out Tenants in Brazil.

One of the things that first strikes a
person newly landed in Brazil is the
want of verandas. 1t would not be
so strange, perhaps, it the Spanish
patio were common to the houses,
but that is almost never seen. In the
country, some Of the larger houses
have verandas, though even these
generally are but poor affairs. The
sloping red tile roof is universal, and
rightly so in so wet climate. 1t is
easily put on, easily repaired, easily
taken of, and affords excellent shell
ter from the tropical dOwn-pours. 1t
may sound strange, but it appears to
be true, if one can believe statements
made by both foreigners and Brazil
ians in high public stations, that
that property in a roof the most de-
sired is the one which allows it to be
easily taken off, as there is a law
that forbids the eviction Of tenants
for the non-payment of rent, and the
remedy most in use to surmount this
difficulty is the removal of the roof
by the landlord under the pretext of
repairs, when the first shower gener-
ally produces the desired effect.

An Irish Gentleman.

The seats were all full, and one
was occupied by a rough>looking
Irishman. At one Of the stations q
couple Of well-bred and intelligent
looking young ladies came in to
procure seats, but, seeing no vacant
ones, were about to go into another
car, when Patrick arose hastily and
offered them his seat with evident
pleasure.
"But you will have no seat your
eelf," responded one of the ladies
with a smile, and with true polite
ness hesitating to accept it.
"Never We moind that" said the
Hibernian; eyer welcome to it. I'd
ride upon the cow-ketcher any tonne
from here till New York for a smoile
from such gintlemanly ladies'" and
he r~etreated into the next car amid
the applause of those who witnessed
the incident. Perhaps the foregoing

Agricultural Prices.

Milling World. .a'Hah llhm.
United States Senator Teller in a
recent debate contended that agricul-
tural depression is not confined to the
United States. 1t prevails in all the
countries of the world except France.
A recent parliamentary inquiry has
shown that the British farmers have
within twelve years sunk more than
half their capital. The trouble is
neither free trade nor protection.
Since the United States resumed
specie payment in 1879, there has
been a continuous drop in the prices
of farm produce. The wheat crop of
this year, with only a difference of
of 5000, 900 bushels in quantity, was
$3.50, 600, 600 in value less than the
wheat crop.of 1880. The corn crop of
this year was SOC, O0O, 900 bushels more
than that of 1882, but it brought the
farmers less. Evidently the Ameri.
can depression, great as it is, is far
less than the European depression,
whatever the cause of the depression
may be.

they are in these days; / mean any
