Calves.

1t is better that calves up to six
months old should be fed in barn. They
will make more uniform growth than if
allowed to run on grass. But they
should have exercise in a yard near the
stable. Between six months and a
year old, these heifer calves should be
fed on good pasture, or if not the sea-
son for pasture, or the farm not good
pasture, then on clover hay, ensilage, a
little wheat bran or ground oats, and
more if the pasture is short-with
plenty OF exercise. No corn meal or
other highly fattening food should be
given. They should be bred between a
year and fifteen months old, and should
be kindly handled nearly daily by gent
ly passing the hands over the legs and
udder. Such heifers will be easily
broken to milk, and, in few days, will
stand as cows that have been MIXED
for years.

The Board of Trade Journal of Port
land, Me-, is authority for the statement
that about 6, 900 tons of terra alba were
recently imported through the port of
New York alone. The only use for terra
alba in any quantity is in the adulteration
of candies, and when these two facts are
put together they bccome very signifi-
cant. The substance is mineral, utterly
insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice
and the result of eating candies adulter-
ated cannot be otherwise than excessively
injurious. The devilishness of the use of
such stuff in candies is all the greater
for the fact that most of the candies that
are adulterated with it are used by chill
dren of tender years. The extent to which
it exists in certain candies may be sur
missed by an incident which occurred
within the experience of the editor of
The National Druggist.
A wholesale grocery house of St.
Louis made a claim against the South
Shore line for damages done a certain
lot of lozenges manufactured by Bos-
ton house and shipped in barrels over
that line. The general agent of the line
procured some of the ''lozenges" and
brought them to the writer for examina-
ton. The result of our investigation
showed them to consist entirely of terra
alba bound together with little gelatine
or gum 1--WE have forgotten which).
Further investigation developed the fact
that they were simply blocks or forms
to be used in preparing cheap lozenges,
the method of use being simply to inn
merse them for few moments in syrups
favored with peppermint, wintergreen,
etc. The agent, armed with these facts,
refused to pay any damages and the
concern, rather than risk the exposure
incident upon law suit, dropped the
claim. Druggist.

on successfully the milk or dairy bus

AT the same meeting, j. Z. Collins

THE Farm,

The serious problem of the abandon.
ment Of farms receives new light from
an interview which the editor of the
american Agricultnrist has had with
the sons of his farmer subscribers,
The boys were asked what occupations
they intended TO follow, and their rea
sons. Oh the many replies, about two
thirds declare for the filling of the soil;
and the reasons which predominate are
the healthfulness of the agricultural
life and the fact that farming pays
financially. There is wealth of sug-
gestion in this. The conclusions come
from the sons of well.to do practical
farmers, whose boys are eager to emu
late the success of their fathers. A
significant feature of the interview is the
fact that the letters of the prospective
farmers are, as rule. better specimens
of English than those of the boys
whose ambitions run in other lines
That two thirds of these coming men
are determined to be farmers, and
announce their decision with consid-
cradle degree of literary taste, is food
for thought and reason for encourage
ment. The January american Ag'a-
culturih gives particulars.

Joking with Sea Gulls.

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
jects to voyagers. They follow vessel
sometimes all the way across, ever rest
less and untiring. The gulls particular
ly, with their long, swift wings, realize
the highest powers of endurance and fly
with ease against the severest storms
Some say that these birds never visit the
earth except to deposit their eggs; other
wise they live constantly between the sea
and the sky. In fine weather they fly
high in the air, descending with great
rapidity to seize the fishes on the surface
of the water.
The symmetry and strength of the
gulls are remarkable, showing how ma
ture has adapted them in every particu-
lar for the purpose of long flight. Their
pectoral or breast muscles are one solid
mass of firm, hard muscle, and their
bones are hollow, having no marrow in
them. Sleep is not necessary to them,
or, rather, they rest upon their wings
and allow themselves to be Graded bv
the breezeS, whose violence neither wor-
ries nor frightens them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel fierce delight
in the fury of the storm, which, con-
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulIs which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length, these are tied together
in the middle and to the end of each n
small piece of blubber or fat is attached
tightly and then thrown into the sea. A
gull comes along and swallows one
piece; another then sees there is plenty
to spare and swallows the next; perhaps
a third bird takes possession OF another,
but as they are all attached to the sail
yarns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to disgorge
his share, and this is continued to the
tantalizing suspense of the poor gulls
and the great fun of the passengers and
sailors.

Endorsing.

The system of enclosing is all wrong,
and should be utterly abolished. 1t
has been the financial ruin of more
meu than, perhaps, all other causes.
Bookkeeping, journal devoted to
merchants, clerks, and business men,
advises our young men especially to
study the matter carefully in all its
bearings, and adopt seine settled policy
to govern their conduct, so as to be
ready to answer the man who asks them
to sign his note. What responsibility
does one assume when be endorses
note? Simply this: He is held for the
payment Of the amount in full, pr;n-
cipal and interest, if the maker Of the
note, through misfortune, mismanage-
ment, or rascality, fails to pay it.
Notice, the endorser assumes all this
responsibility, with no voice in the
management of the business and no
share in the profits of the transaction, if
it proves profitable; but with certainty
of loss if, for any of the reasons stated,
the principal fails to pay the note.

Sanitary Marriage,

There are thousands Of young men
and women who, by reason Of their
infirmities, ought never to marry.
These infrmitles come from our schools,
on account of absence of proper sys.
tenn of physical culture. They come
from lily ventilated counting rooms and
factories; from foul tenements and
close parlors. Pale AID puny, these
young men and women present every
phrase of bodily imperfections, clear ~
proving that the very first lesson that
should be impressed upon growing
youth is the supreme Importance Of
healthy bodies.
No young woman is handsome I'm less
healthy. The beauty of health con-

perfection was attained by enforced,
well-appointed exercise. No sickly
man or woman was allowed to marry,
and all in health were compelled to do

Bachelors, after a certain age, were
shat. out from the society Of women,
and once year were publicly shamed
No one was allowed to marry until full
maturity was reached. The result WIS
that for 500 years the Spartans produc.

Raising Hogs.

A Minnesota man says: 1 can max

a pound than raising wheat yielding
thirty bushels per acre. An acre of
cloyer will support eight hogs. each of
which will gain 100 pounds in season,
making an income of S24 an acre.

threshing, and at the present price of
grain my hog crop comes out far ahead
of my neighbours wheat or barley, even
in favorable season for grain. When
we consider that for several years have
brought from five to six cents per
pound and grain has proved failure it
is easy to see why some farmers have
prospered and others have fallen
behind.
