Hints About raising Calves.

Can calves be raised without feeding
them skim milk? we are asked. Yes. At
first the calf must have milk. 1t should
Eave this milk for about week. Then
boil pint of flaXseed in Il gallon of wa
ter until it becomes a jelly. Pour n little
boiling water over this jelly and add it
to the milk. Gradually increase this
water and jelly and and gradually re-
duce the quantity of milk until the milk
is entirely abandoned. The calf should
in the meantime be taught to eat
roots. mangels or sugar beets. 1t
is not difficult to teach the calf
to do this, beginning with a very
little at first. putting it into the mouth.
Nice, tender hay should be kept before
the calf all the time. and clover hay is
the best. In the summer season. of
course, grass will supply the place of
roots. We have seen splendid calves
raised in this way, and they were never
troubled with scours.-Western Plow-

Ruxtnx Nurnerx stock.

In making out orders for fruit trees
and vines don't forget to order from
nurseries having as near as possible the
same soil and climate as the trees will
have when planted and buy from q
nurseryman known to be practical, pro-
gressive and reliable. Get healthy, Wig
orous stock. with strong vitality. well
rooted, good cane or stalk, with
branches in proportion to the roots.
Apple trees are considered best for
planting at two or three years, not more
than the latter age; standard pears
should be two or three years old,
dwarf pears, plums, peaches, currants,
goosebcrries and grapes, one to two
wears old.

OUTLINE OF GATE.

(g). Bolt the top of sevenfoot up
right and at the bottom of the front one
(b). Nail board over the back ends of
the gate plank. This makes the whole
thing stronger, and l prefer it to four
by-four for hinge timber. Get your
blacksmith to make a pair of hinges.
The post hinge at the top must be long
enough to go clear through, so that a
burr can be placed on the end. As the
gate sags this is tightened. The bot
tom one can simply be driven into the
post. 1t should have n shoulder to rest
against.-George James, in Orange

why Butter Get. strong.

The cause of butter getting strong in
in all probability due to a germ of fer
mentation that lives and grows at a
low temperature and is not killed by
the ordinary process of cleansing. The
surroundings may be scrupulously
clean so far as appearances go. but the
germs are invisible and are not de-
stroyed, unless they are exposed to
a heat of PIP degrees for two or three
minutes. All the milk utensils should
be thoroughly scalded with live steam
if possible) and the cream should not
be kept more than two days and
should be ripened to a sharp acid. if
necessary by the use of a starter of
sour skinned milk.

Avn Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial

receipts for April fell SIS, 100000 below
those for March, while the expenditures
we're S22 600 more than those for the
month previous
This great difference does not indicate,
however, either large falling off in the
ordinary receipts or a large increase in
the ordinary expenditure. The receipts
Tor March were increased by the payment
to the government of nearly $40, 900 900 on
account OF the Pacific railway settlement,
while the expenditures for April were in :
creased by the drawing OF the warrants
Tor the payment Of 500 900 900 to Spain.
Leaving out OF account these two items.
the receipts for March were only about
$4,000 600 larger than those for April and
expenditures for the latter month were
less than S3'0O0,000 greater than those for
March Notwithstanding that the interest
payments for April were S., 800 900 against
only Si62,lOS for March.
