Nature teaches the calf to turn it,
mouth upward to get its food. The un-
willingness of the calf to put its head
down into pail is the result of instinct.
Some have thought to offset this in
stinct by never allowing the calf to suck
its dam even once. But we think this
Injuries the calf. 1t needs stimulation
when first born, and should be allowed
to get it in the way most natural to it.
In sucking the teat the milk comes
slowly, and a good deal of saliva is
mixed with it. But after once sucking
its dam the calf should be taught to
drink out Of pail, and to put its head
down when eating. 1t will need to be
pretty hungry to do this readily. and
the finger should be used, placing 1t
first in the Calls mouth, and then put
ting the finger into the milk. So soon
rs the calf gets fairly to drinking the
finger should be withdrawn.-Ameri-

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

w. r. Milburn, John Holmes, M. h.
Dagger, e. L. Stetson, Of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming. and the advantages
1t offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: 1--WE came here
solely to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased US
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at al, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River In Manitoba. Our inn
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month Of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
OF improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing. and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc., are all that we could wish
for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many Of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country. where we believe there il
better future for the Industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return.n

is permanent addition to English manias,

alienists. This mania differs from others
in that it is not acute in its chronic stages
and is durable. The symptoms are Z
loathing for legitimate business, an alb

eccentric garments, profound contempt
for truth, hatred OF domestic restraint,
accompanied by flushed face and a de-
