An Orrington correspondent asks to be
informed of "the best methods of raising
calves by hand We have raised great
many calves by hand, and while our man
agement may not be the best, yet, mas
much as it has universally been successful
in bringing out healthy and thrifty calves,
it may be set down as a good way. Still,
the course to pursue will depend on what the
calf is intended for If for a fancy steer,
to be forced as fast as feed can drive him,
there is only one course-let him have whole
milk, and draw it from the COW in the nat
ural way and if one COW doesn't furnish
milk enough let him have the use of two
There is nothing that will force calf like
this, but it is expensive. AS rule calves
should be raised on skim milk. 1t is much
cheaper feed than whole milk, and unless
it is desirable to fatten, as well as grow, it
makes better calf. Skim milk is particu-
larly well adapted to building up the mus
cular system of the calf, and giving it
strength, vigor, and a good appetite.
1t is our practice to keep the young calf
on the dam till two weeks of age, when it
is taught to drink Very gradually skim
milk is added to the quantity needed by the
calf, till at about four weeks of age only
skim milk is taken. There are three points
over which it is important to be particular
1. Inc MIX snOulu always De at Jne same
temperature when fed. 2. 1t should be
regular in quantity. g. The feeding should
be regular in time. With these rules strict
ly observed there will be no trouble, while
if neglected there will be little else but
trouble We have found little grain feed
a very satisfactory addition to the skim
milk, and whole oats are the best for the
purpose 1t is natural for calves to want
to chew something for food, and they will
learn to eat oats when very young. Feed
handful day at first, dry, in a box kept
perfectly clean, and the grain renewed each
day. Increase these at pleasure as the calf
grows older. The grain feed is not a neces
sary accompaniment, though any one will
know the calves will do better with it,
They should be kept clean-pens, feeding
pals, feed boxes aud mAngers-and should
have exercise.
With these simple requirements strictly
observed, strong, healthy calves may be
reared at small cost We have raised many
scores of them, and always with a complete
success. In many respects fall calves are
preferable for raising. There is more time
IN winter to attend to the details of their
wants. In spring time, when the grass
starts, they are ready to go to pasture, and
will thrive as well as yearing. Calves
will not thrive on grass feed till five or six
months old. Previous to that age it is bet
ter TO feed dry fodder and at the barn

Tive WAY. Use Her...

Nearly 20 years ago two brothers bought
each team of Canadian ponies for work
upon their farms. They were as nearly
alike as two teams could be, and under
the same management would have lived
and done service an equal length of time
One brother always drove rapidly, and
would reach his home - four miles distant
from the railroad-in fifteen or twenty
minutes less time than his brother, although
he lived "A quarter of a mile beyond his
brothers house. The other brother never
urged his horses off walk if he had a load
on. If the horses chose to trot down the
lower slope of a hill he would allow them to
do so.
In guiding them he strove to avoid all
stones, heavy ruts and bits Of sand. 1t
seemed to be his constant aim to husband
the resources of his team The result war
that after twelve years of constant use the
slow and careful driver still had the same
team, and a good team, too. Meanwhile
the other brother had had eight different
horses and spent over 5000 in horseflesh.
This same misuse of horse power we have
noted recently in New York city
Three years ago a father died and left to
his two sons profitable trucking business
! The horses were good and always in good
| condition. As soon as the two sons as
sumed the reins they changed the order OF
things. AS it took full an hour to reach
their business they endeavored to start
fifteen minutes later and make up the
time by trottng their horses. This was
too great strain, and the consequence
was that they had to replace one of their
horses within six months. Another gave
out year and half later, and few
weeks ago they replaced the third II
these same young men had got up early in
the morning and fed and groomed early
and then allowed ample time for their
heavy horses to walk all the way to their
work, the probabilities are that they would
still have the old horses-old in years, but
not old in spirit and activity Mail ana

In the early years of the use of arsenical
poison for checking and destroying the po-
tato beetle, many persons felt great fear
that they too might share the fate of the in
sects, and it was not unusual to meet with
those who refused to eat potatoes in any
form. They were not aware of the fact
that whatever Of arsenic was used, fell to
the ground and remained on the surface,
while the tubers were some inches beneath
and beyond its reach and they did not
know that Paris green. was insoluble, and
could not he taken up and absorbed by the
plant. Besides this security, there was
many times as much iron in all, or nearly
all, soils as would neutralize the minute
quantity of arsenic applied while through
out the country at large, millions of persons
partook daily of what some regarded as
poisoned potatoes without the slightest
harm.
But long escape from danger makes
many persons careless. We see the effects
of this carelessness on our railroads, on
which frequent accidents now occur after
long immunity from them. Employees, at
first extremely cautious, gradually became
inattentive through the lapse of years when
they saw no harm come, and positive care
lessness followed. The frequent and rapid
ly increasing use of Paris green is likely to
be followed by a similar carelessness and
by accident. Workingmen mix the poison
aud breathe the rising dust. They leave
the vessels in which it is mixed uncleaned,
and afterwards feed domestic animals in
them. Patches of potatoes are busted on
the windward side of dwellings, and the
wind carries the dust to where it is breathed
by women and children. A COW pasture
on the lee side of potato field, receives
the poisonous dust on the breeze, Cattle
break down a weak fence and feast on the
poisoned potato leaves. All these accidents
have occurred in greater or less degree
But an additional danger now threatens.
The efficiency of arsenical poisons as q rem
edy for the codling worm IL becoming wide

their value in destroying the curculiO has

berries are often planted Immediately un-

small vegetables in near proximity. The
poison is not so easily washed from the soft
and rough surfaces of the Strawberries and
raspberries, as from smooth apples and
glossy plums and some of them ripen near
ly at the same time as the spraying. 1t
would hardly be suspected that intelligent
persons could carelessly make the mistakes
here pointed out if the mistake had not
actually occurred, and it is well at the pres
ent time 10 put owners on their guard

a miscellaneous class of persons, and while
workingmen do not always take the trouble

According to experiment made at Cor
nell university, with cows several months
in milk (the time extending from June to
September 81, 1880, no profit was derived
from feeding grain to mich cows while at
pasture. The returns from two lots were
almost identical. But as the cows were SO
near the end of their natural milking term,
Prof. Roberts does not consider the expert,
ment sufficiently conclusive to warrant hun
in recommending those who feed grain to
discontinue it, In estimating gain or loss,
it should not be forgotten that there was in
all probability, less consumption of pastur.
age by those fed grain, aud that they were
most likely in better condition at the end OF
the experiment than they would have been
without the grain. The experiment, how
ever, ought to show this. Then the manure
of the cows fed the extra meal was worth
considerable more on the pasture as a fer
tilizer than that of the cows not so fed, the
latter returning only what was drawn from
the soil d ID. T. Moore
