from the COW the change from whole
milk to whey must be made gradual
~. As soon as you commence to feed
any skim-milk, little haxeeed Cruel
or oil cake should be added, and guam
tity of this increased as the quantity
of milk decreases.
Always heat the feed, whether it be
milk, whey or a mixture to blood heat
before feeding. The milk may be
| lessened and the whey increased in
quantity until the calf is a month and
"a half old, when the milk may be dis
continued almost altogether. As soon
as they can be got to take it, calves
should have all that they will eat of
chopped oats.
Under such conditions they will
come along and thrive we'll How
ever, the feeding must be done with
the greatest regularity as to the time,
the quantity of feed, it's temperature
and condition. Calves should also
always be supplied with all other COM
forts, such as dry, clean quarters a
supply of fresh, green feed or pasture,
and have access to salt and nice fresh
water.
Thus, by some additional attention
and supplying an equivalent for the
casein and butter fat that has been
taken from the milk, the patrons of
cheese factories NAV be able to rear
calves that will have a creditable ap
pearance, and that are neither stunted,
scurfy-skinned nor pot-bellied. New

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Gather the eggs twice daily.

| Gather the eggs twice daily.
Avoid placing strange broods to-
gether.
Better keep the late chickens by
| themselves.
The pullets will do better without
, the cockerels.
The Minorcas and Red Caps are
among the best layers now.
Thorough ventilation is necessary
to the successful keeping of fruit.
Cabbage heads should be hung up in
the poultry house for the fowls to pick
at.
Get rid of your surplus cockerels
early and SO save feeding them at a
loss.
Bees never store honey in the light,
because honey thus exposed granu-
lates.
Study the foods raised on the farm
and use them for the purposes they
are suited for.
New and better blood will improve
the health of the fowls and the pocket
book of their owner.
1t is said that rye feed gives good
color to the yolk of the egg and adds
richness to the flavor.
Don't let your fowls stand out i'll all
sorts of weather if you expect to make
any money from them.
On the pruning given tree during
the first few years of life depends the
flltura shane of the tree
POtassic manures are best for fruit
trees in general Bone dust and wood
ashes are q good mixture.
It is best to begin in good season SO
as to be ready to winter the bees in as
good condition as possible.
Give your hens gravel or some SORT
of gritty material if you would keeo
them we'll and avoid indigestion.
Fall is a good time to prune almost
any kind of tree, as the wounds made
at this time will not produce decay.
If you would keep the young stock
growing steadily and rapidly, let them
have plenty of clean water at all times.
Do not spoil nice white honey by
storing it away in dirty-looking boxes,
especially if it is to be sent to mar
ket
Commence in good season to gather
up and store away in as good condi-
ton AS possible all surplus combs and
boxes.
The successful fruit grower must be
able to tell what kind of insects are
injuring his tree, and apply the in
secticide that is most destructive to
them at once.
AS in Bookkeeping, he that can pro-
duce the greatest crop is not the best
beekeeper; but he that can effect it
with the least expense and marage to
sell it at a good profit is the best.

GEESE AND DUCKS.

There are two advantages with these
two classes of poultry over chickens and
turkeys-they are less liable to disease
aud are less trouble to look after. After
the geese and ducks get reasonably
well feathered they can be turned out
into a good pasture, and if there is
plenty of water they will need very lit
tie attention, at least until cold weather
1t takes good breed of layers for q
hen to lay more eggs than a good
Pekin duck, and if we'll sheltered and
fed they will commence laying the lat
ter part of January and will lay all
the rest of the winter and the early
spring, and will usually take a second
spell the latter part of the summer.
To make the most of both ducks and
geese it is necessary to pick their
feathers regularly, commencing as soon
as they are through laying in the
spring. The feathers should be picked
regularly all the summer until reason
ably cold weather in the fall. A suffi
cient amount of feathers can readily
be secured to pay for their keep, so
that the eggs and increase may be con
sidered as profit.
With geese, especially after the num-
Der it is desired to keep is secured
nearly or quite oil the younger fowls
are marketed as soon as they have made
a sufficient growth, as the old fowls may
be kept number of years without
change, and will give fully as good if
not better results than the younger
ones. Ducks can hardly be kept SO
long, but should be sold when five
years old at least. This gives in both
cases the young fowls to market, and
they will sell better and can be made
ready for market at less cost than
the older or more matured ones. With
ducks, until the desired number IS
secured, it is a good plan to sell the
early Matched and keep the later.
But it is best to keep good stock in
making a start, and it will cost but lit
tie more to secure good fowls. The
Pekin is one of the best breed of ducks,
while the Embden is one of the best
breeds of geese. One advantage of
both of them is that the feathers are
white and will sell to better advantage.
Liz AOu1Ou5S GEESE are SOOu DT60u,
but the feathers are dark colored. The
Aylesbury is good breed of ducks,
but are not quite as large as the Pekin.
Geese will come nearer living on pas
t.urage and taking care of themselves
than any other class of poultry.
Too much grain is rather a detri-
ment than a benefit, and should only
be given heavily when fattening for
market. Bulky food is much more de
sirable and will give much better re-
suits in every way during growth.
During the winter the need of shelter,
and during what may be termed the
laying season it is best to pen at night
in order to make sure of the egg, but
otherwise the better plan is to give
them good range in pasture we'll
with water.--Colman's Rural
World.

Significance of Ivan" aad "fOn.

It isa common mistake OF Amer1-
cans to think that The predicate van
before a Dutch name signifies nobility.
In the low countries-that Is IN the
kingdoms of the Netherlands and OF
Belgium-"van" has no particular
meaning. Nance with van are to
be read on shops, as well as on the
doors of the most aristocrntic man
sions. The humblest persons have IT,
as we'll as the most refined. On the
other hand, a great number of the
very oldest families are without 1T. In
Germany won" means noble, and all
persons belonging to the nobility have
''von" before their family names, with
out any exception. Persons who do
not belong to the nobility cannot put
"von" before their names, as they have
no right to do so, and would be found
out directly if they assumed it, and
make themselves ridiculous. But IN
case of man being knighted for some
reason or other he has the right to put
"von" before his family name. For
instance, when Alexander Humboldt
was kpighted he became Alexander Won
Humboldt, and all his descendants,
male and female, take the prefix. -

The SnaniSh Bull.

The bulls used for fighting purposes
are specially selected, specially cared
for class They are all pedigreed
Audalusia is especially the district of
the bull. Here, at the age of one year,
the young bulls are separated from the
heifers, branded with the owners
mark, and turned out loose on the
plains to Craze with others of their
own age.
When year older, the young bulls
are gathered together, in order that
their mettle and fighting qualities may
be tested. One of them is separated
from the herd, and chased by man
on horseback, who, by the skillful u.s.
of e blunted lance, overthrows the
escaping bull, whereupon another rider
comes in front of the animal with q
sharper lance, to withstand the ex-
pected attack Ii the bull, on regain
ing his feet, attacks the rider twice, it
is passed as fighting animal; but if
he turns tail and runs off, then it is
set aside to be killed, or to be used in
agricultural work. And SO with each
animal, until the whole herd of two
vear-olds have been tested.
Each bull that has stood the test
successfully is then entered III the herd
book, with q description of It's appear
ance. and receives q name-such rs
Espartero, flamenco, and the like.
This process of careful selection goes
on from year to year until the bull is
five years old, when, should its mettlc
still prove true, it is ready for the
arena, and flaming posters appear on
the walls of Madrid or Seville an
nouncinr that Espartero Tor whatever
his name Isl will on such and such
date make its first and final appear
ance.
A good 'warrantable@ five year old
bull for the fighting rings cost from
$3.50 to S40O.
