Nature teaches the calf to turn les
mouth upward to get its food. The
unwillingness Of the calf to put its
head down into a pail Is the result of
instinct. Some have thought to offset
this instinct by never allowing the calf
TO suck it's dam even once. But we
think this Injuries the calf. 1t needs
stimulation when first born, and should
be allowed to get 1t In the way most
natural to II. In sucking the teat the
milk comes slowly, and a good deal Of
saliva is mixed with 1t. But after once
sucking its dam the calf should be
taught to drink out Of a pail, and TO put
its head down when eating. 1t viii
need to be pretty hungry to do this
readily. and the finger should be used,
placing 1t first in the calf's mouth, and
then putting the finger into the milk.
So soon as the calf gets fairly to drink
ing, the finger should be Withdrawn

weak-Growinr Apple Trees.

There is a great difference in yarie-
ties Of apple trees as to their habit OF
growth, and judgment Is needed in
portioning out the manure to be used
on each. The strong-growing varieties
like Northern Spy will need very little
stable manure until they begin TO fall
from old age. But there are other
kinds OF slow and feeble growth that
even while young can bear some slim
ulation with stable manure, especially
II it is composted. and its deficiencies
of potash and phosphate are supplied.
Coarse manure ought never to be ap-
piled to apple trees at any age. 1t is
the fermentation of manure In the soil
that is the prolific cause Of the fungus
growths that injure foliage and fruit
more than the manure can help the
tree. The only fertilizers that can be
always used with safety are the miner
ais potash and phosphate.

Saving Brush for KindIins.

Saving Brush for KindIing.
In pruning orchards the branches cut
out are often piled in heaps, and when
dried are burned, often injuring the
trees in their vicinity. There Is a much
better way than this. Apple, pear or
peach wood makes when dried a very
hot fire, and should be saved for the
stove when the branches are too large
to cut readily. Even the twigs have
their value. They make the very best
of kindlings when dried, and If they
are somewhat crooked they are all the
better, because they will not pack
closely together as the straight sticks
are pretty sure to do. An old story is
told of a farmer who once boosted
among his companions what a good,
patient wife he had. She never COM
planned of anything he did. One Of
them suggested that the next time he
drew up wood for the house he should
make load of the crookedest sticks he
could find. He did So and as he drew
up the load to the house his wife came
out smiling to meet him. Mary, how
do you like this load of wood?' was the
inquiry, while the farmers companions
stood by expecting a storm of abuse.
Instead, the reply was given in the
sweetest tones. ooh, John, that IS capt.
tai wood. We always used it at home
when was a girl. and mother used to
say that the crooked pieces made the
hottest fire because they fitted so nicely
around the kettles. American Guilt
