A CnIf,. SoIiIonnN.

c. l.. Gahrilson of Iowa, an experienced
stockman, sends the following sensible calf
talk to the Farm, Stock and Home
Unless the young calf comes under the
care of some one interested in its welfare,
when taken away from the COW, it is sure
to have a sorry time of it, And if its med
itatons could be Transcribed and enlarged,
as by magic lantern lens, the writing on
the wall might read something like this
ooh, dear When was with INV moth
er, in the field, she supplied me two or three
times day with milk at the temperature
of her own body, and after | was satisfied
she gave me a licking her tongue
which strengthened the circulation of life
in me ; just as, they say, human mother
rubs the back of her babe after its bath
and dinner to promote healthy action of
its life current Then my mother used to
lind snug place for me to lie where the
grass was deep, 80 that | could he hidden
from the sight of such as might modest me-
But here | am in pen so filthy and sloppy
that | cant rest without getting wet and
dirty as no calf ought to be. And then the
food get Ugh it makes me shudder to
think of it, The folks live with use the
deep-setting cans for my mothers milk,
and now the weather has got cool so that
the milk yields more cream and keeps as
cool as the outside air. This stuff they ex-
pect me to drink, after they have taken off
the cream-which would help to keep me
warm-and that, too, many times, without
warming it. If those folks would only
think that | have not the stomach of an OK
to endure the chills that cold milk gives me
| am inclined to think they would warm it
why, I'd rather take milk hot than so
much colder than my body. Then they
sometimes warm this milk with hot water /;
as if the milk weren't thin enough already
without adding water to it NV mother
used to belong to farmer in Iowa and she
sometimes comes and looks into my pen,
saying how sorry she is that we should have
left there, because that man liked calves,
and took pains to make them comfortable.
Two were kept in a little pen with little
stanchions-four inches the openings were
so that each got his Just share of milk,
which was warmed to about the same de-
gree every time. The milk was measured
with a quart cup, without any guesswork.
He had heard that rennet extract-a tea
spoonful for the calves-helped digestion so
much that bowel complaint never appeared
when it was used. The use of it was so
much OF success that he was heard to say
that calf raising had lost its terrors now
that milk was half digested when set before
the calf When the calves hogan to nibble
at wood or straw bit of fine hay and a
few dry oats we're set before them, and
was gradually increased to quart of oats
per day, with all the nice hay they wanted
aud four quarts of milk morning and night
good bed was generally kept under them
though sometimes this matter would be
neglected, of course. But the little fellows
had warm stable or shady pasture and
grew into good cows and bullocks."

The Ru.y Farmer.

A farmer need never fear to he too busy
1t is the busy man who is the most success
full Business tends to method and rule in
ones work in fact the word business is
derived from this overflow of work, so that
a business man is one who is always occu-
pied with multiplicity of affairs. The ex-
perimental farm at Woburn, Eng, which
was owned bv Earl Ducie, some years ago
needed "A director, and a person was named
as competent To undertake the manage
ment of it. But it was suggested that he
was already overwhelmed with work
Then he is the very man We want, said
the Earl 'the busiest man has always
more capability and spare time than any
other. ! want none of your loterers" This
shrewd remark shows a deep insight into
human nature, for it has always been the
most occupied men who have done the most
work, and have been the most useful to
their fellowmen On the farm this knack
of business is most important for the farmer
who is employing labor lie must keep the
men busy at profitable work. as well as
keep busy himself The busy farmer, too,
is the one who can most easily discharge his
business from his mind, and in the evening,
with his family around him, can engage in
a variety Of useful studies, and find recrea-
ton, as well Us benefit, from them.

a Glimpse from ReaI Life in u Grent
Civ,


Central office detectives yesterday ar
rested family Of Russian Poles named
PrachumowslSy. They were Morris Prach-
umowsky, aged ~, his wife. Leah. and
Samuel and Abraham, their sons, aged re
spectively - and II The parents have
stolen and cheated all their lives, and the
sons were early taught to steal and cheat.
The lather has many Of the characteristics
"l FHgln. The mother is an expert pick
pocket. Two years ago they were driven
out of Poland. They came to this country.
Here Samuel and his father became ped
dlers. They sold the goods stolen by
Abraham and Isaac, another son, aged -,
who could not be found yesterday. Their
operations were brought to the notice of
Inspector Brynes. He detailed Detectives
Jacobs and McManus to secure them.
After hunt of several days the detectives
located them at % jefferson street, a
wretched two-story howell, and Yesterday
morning they paid the louise a visit. In
foul, damp cellar the members of the Prach-
umowsky family, with the exception of
Isaac and Abraham, were at breakfast
The detectives demanded to know where
Abraham was, and before the frightened
roles could answer there was an cutlery

the dark the missing Abraham lying on the
cold dirt floor waiing pitifully and clad
only in thin shirt. When dragged out
into the front room the boy was found to

showing the cruel marks of blows. Both
of his eyes were black. In the back cellar
there was nothing but jug of stale water
and Il loaf of black bread The bow. who
was half dead from the treatment he had
received, said that his mother had taught
him to steal and that he had made his liv-
ing by picking pockets. On Monday he had
stolen purse containing S12 from an old
lady in Grand street, and he had deter
mined to keep it for himself But he
told like" about it and that dutiful son had
promptly reported it to his mother. She
dubbed the recreant youth. He wriggled
from her clutches and ran away. When
his father reached home he commissioned
Samuel to capture Abraham. Samuel knew
his brothers haunts, found him Wednes-
day night and led him home by the collar
He was stripped and the family took turns
i'll beating him with leather strap with a
metal hook ON the end Then he was
thrown into the back cellar With tae ex-
ception of Isaac, the entire family were
placed under arrest, and at Essex Market

again. The Pennsylvania supreme court

trusted to indicate the kind aud quantity of
food necessary to maintain that condition.
Naturally the appetite varies with the
changing seasons, and unless it indicates an
unreasonable extreme Of indulgence or ah-
Stinence, no attention need to he paid to
any other monitor Much harm is done bv
injudicious or meddlesome friends suggest
ing that person is too stout or too thin.
too pale or too rudy, and serious disturb
ances of the system often follow the mis-
chievous advice to take some htters or
pills, or refrain from fattenng food or
drink Paying attention to any of these
fads is like playing with fire If you are
i'll enough to seem to warrant any radical
change of diet or any application of medi-
cine, consult your physician at once.
Above all, avoid advertised quack medi-
cines. To use the opinion of a successful
dealer in them, whose bank balance is
more liberal than his conscience, they are
made to sell"
If you feel little debilitated take the CO.
ca tonic; eat plenty of fresh ripe fruit and
vegetables, especially oranges: drink lemon
ade; and when unusually fatigued, and just
before retiring, drink glass of milk as hot
as can be taken, in large sips Walk rea-
sonaby, and sleep in pure air If few
days of this sort of home treatment fail 10

er tone, call in your doctor and follow his
