FALL. FEEDING OF YOUNG STOCK.

Young farm stock, whether intended
for the slaughter or to be retained
upon the farm, should be kept grow
ing continually until nearly, if not
fully, the average size is attained.
Keep the animals in good pasture dur
ing the summer and during the usual
drouths of early autumn. If an extra
growth of corn fodder to be used as a
daily feed is not attainable, then a
feed of grain should be given at least
once n day. During the cold, stormy
days that prevail before stock finally
60 into winter quarters, the grain feed
should be maintained, and when
brought to the yard warm, comfort
able shelter be provided. Do not prac-
tice the foolish policy of attempting
to see how cheaply one can winter
stock, that there may be more grain
and hay to sell in the spring. On the
contrary, give them the best of fodder,
if there be a choice. This need not
necessarily be dealt out in large guam
titles, but in amounts that will be eaten
up cleanly previous to the next feed
ing. A quart of ground feed fed daily
to a calf or colt, or a small handful to
each lamb, will greatly stimulate
growth and prove good financial in
vestment for the stock raiser. -Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Atlanta Farmer. Whey, in the best
condition, only forms partial food;
but whey that has become soured is
Of no value whatever, as the sugar is
the only food ingredient it contains.
Calves carefully fed on sweet whey
with some adiuncts, such as tiaxseed
Cruel, oil cake, and little chopped
oats, may be made TO thrive and do
well. The whey must, however, be in
a sweet condition, and il might here
be mentioned that if whey is heated
TO temperature of 160 degrees F. fer
mentation will cease.
Whey feeding must be done judi
ciously, and when the calf is taken
from the COW the change from whole
milk to whey must be made gradual
ly. As soon as You commence to feed
any skim-milk, little haxseed 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 OF 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 well. How
ever, the feeding must be done with
the greatest regularity as to the time,
the quantity of feed, its 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 may be able to rear
calves that will have q creditable ap-
pearance, and that are neither stunted,
scurfy-skinned nor pot-bellied.-New
York World.

USING cHLoRoroRM, ETHER AND NApHrnA.

USING CHLoRoToRNI, ETHER AND NAPHrHA.
The best of the detergents for deli
cate colored silks is chloroform-but
it must be very carefully used, as aside
from the risk of inhaling too much of
the vapor it is inaammable. If used
at all it ought to be done out doors.
Lay the spotted surface right side
down upon o folded clean cloth, pour
on chloroform enough to wet it thor
oughly, then dab it over with n soft
cloth also wet in the liquid. After a
minute slip the spot onto fresh space
of cloth, pour on more chloroform and
again dab it with the cloth held firmly
over your fingers. Turn it over quickly
and wipe off the right side with fresh
soft cloth.
Ether can be used in the same way
with quite the same precautions.
Both ether and chloroform are too
expensive save for the most delicate
and costly finery. For ordinary things
naphtha used IN the same manner
answers excellently we'll. 1t leaves
more of mark than the anesthetics
and has much more persistent odor
Whatever you use test it on bit of
stuff, since nobody can say certainly
what the effect will be without know
ing the chemical reaction of the colors
it is to encounter. Chicago Record.

StndrInr a Rnttler,s Kattlc.

The growth of the rattle Of the
rattlesnake has been studied by Ger
man scientist, who finds that the rattle
is frequently shed; and, after being
she'd (his snakes we're kept in n very
warm ROOM, in three or four months
two rattles were present, their APP
pcarance having nothing TO do with
the casting of the skin. The snakes
were made TO register the vibrations
of the rattle on smoked paper, and it
was found that the vibration was n
compound one, consisting of the
vibration of the tail as n whole, and
of the rattle independently of the tail
vibrations. The approximate figures
of vibrations were, for the tail, seventy
FIVE; of the rattle, 40 n second. -

DIR. Thomas Guthrie was an indefatigable
preacher against intemperence, and was the
originator of ragged schools, which became
a National feature.
II was first led" he told temperance
meeting in Belfast, "to form high opinion
OF the cause OF temperance by the bearing OF
an Irishman. 1t Is now some twenty-five

we went, as sailors In stress OF weather run
into the first haven. BY this time we were
soaking with water outside, and rs these
were not days OF tea and toast, but OF toddy
drinking, we thought the best way was TO
soak ourselves with whisky inside.
Accordingly, we rushed into the inn, or
dered warm water, and got our tumbler OF
toldy. Out OF Kindness to the car driver,
we called him in. He was not very well

TO FRY FISH.

"Small fish should swim twice, once
in water and once in oil" Perch,
brook trout, catfish and all small fish
are best fried. They should be cleaned,
washed we'll in cold water and immedi-
ately wiped dry, inside and outside,
with a clean towel and then sprinkled
with salt. Use oil if convenient, as it
is very much cheaper than either
dripping or lard. Never use butter,
as it is apt to burn and has tendency
to soften the fish. See that the oil,
lard or dripping is boiling hot before
putting in the fish. Throw in a crumb
of bread; if it browns quickly it is hot
enough and the fish will not absorb
any grease. New York World.

vENrrLArE THE CELLAR IN WINTER.

vENTILATE THE CELLAR IN WINTER
Most farm cellars have no partitions.
Thus in one room nre stored apples,
potatoes, other vegetables, the milk
and butter, together with the canned
fruits and meat The cellar is usually
located directly under the kitchen and
sitting room, and not unfrequently
the bedroom. 1t is a fact that unless
the fruit and vegetables are carefully
looked over every month there will be
"a great amount of obnoxious vapor
constantly coming from them to CON
taminate the atmosphere, and being
lighter than cold air it will rise to the
rooms above Hence it is best on
pleasant days to open the cellar doors
and windows for proper ventilation,
not leaving them, as many do, tightly
closed from early winter until April.
Milk and butter quickly absorb the
odors from decaying vegetation, in
juring the quality and healthfulness.
