Teaching Calves to Drink.

Nature teaches the calf to turn it's
mouth upward to get its food. The
Willingness of the calf to put it's
head down into pail is the result of
instinct. Some have thought to offset
this by never allowing the calf to suck
it's dam even once. But we think this
Injuries the calf. It 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 good deal of saliva is
mixed with it. But after once suck
ing 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 calf's mouth, and then
putting it into the milk. So soon as
the calf gets fairly to drinking the
finger should be withdrawn.

Stylish Costume For a Miss.

Fawn- -colored serge is here united
with full vest and standing collar of
white taffeta, emb1 oidered with polka
dots in black silk, mixed black and
white braid forming the simple but
effective decoration. The full fronts
are arranged over dart-fitted Innings
and close invisibly in centre. A stand
ing collar finishes the neck. The Eton
fronts are slashed at the lower edges,
silk buttons with loops crossing the
openings, which may be omitted if
not desired. The fronts are deeply
underfaced and reversed to form
pointed lapels, the smooth whole
backs being connected by under-arm
cores. A leather belt, clasped with
fancy buckle stylishly completes the
waist. The fashionable two-seamed
sleeves have the fulness disposed in
gathers at the top, the iaring wrists

upper edge, which are joined to a
straight yoke, the front edges of
which support the fulness of the fronts.
At the waist the fulness is gathered
or may be regulated with tape cas-
ing and draw strings, if so preferred.
The shirt sleeves are in accordance
with the prevailing style, laps finish
ing the slashes and straight link cuffs
completing the wrists. Checked,
plain or polka dotted pique, linen, ma
dras, figured or striped percale, duck
OF galatea is usually chosen for waists
in this style.
To make this shirt waist for wom-
IN of medium size will require three
yards of material thirty-six inches
wide.

Variety in Fruit Culture.

Every commercial fruit grower
should maintain small plot contain
ing several generally commended sorts
and determine which varieties he
should make his leaders and rlant
most largely of.
In conducting these experiments
there are several things to be con-
sidered. There is vast difference in
plants of the same variety. When
plants fruit they are breeding or lay
ing their eggs, and the fruit flesh de-
velops as substance for seeds to
grow on, and the quantity of fruit as
we'll as size depends on the stamina
of the seeds.
Seed bearing is the most devitaliz-
ing process the plant is ever called
upon to undergo, and if its intense
passion in this direction is not re-
strained by removing part of the
blossoms in the propagating bed, it
will fruit itself into impotency, and
after that will multiply itself through
it's runners and fruit very sparingly.
The more you manure and cultivate
the more runners you will get without
q corresponding increase in fruit either
in quantity or quality.
Therefore the test of varieties with
out the pedigree or history of the
plant which shall determine its physi-
cal conditions in this respect must al
ways be unsatisfactory if not entirely
unloading. In all this work we want
to know the capacity of the variety, or,
in other words, what it will do under
favorable conditions.
The success of variety often more
largely depends on the man than the
soil or location. He is often hars h
with the plant, does things at the
wrong time and in the wrong way !;
does his work grudgingly and growls
about everything and finds no pleasure
in any part of the work. The report
of behavior of variety from such a
man would have no value whatever.
The only valuable report comes from a
man who loves the work, studies plant
life and meets requiI sments which
shall enable the plant to show its
qualities definitely.
The fruit grower of the opening OF
the nineteenth century must be stu
dent and know all the laws which
govern fruit development.
The variety to plant most largely is
the one most generally commended
over the widest area until your own
experiments determine what sort is
best adapted to your soil.

Parsnips for Late Use.


The parsnip root and also the satisfy
or vegetable oyster are so hardy that
they arc usually left on the soil where
they grow, instead Of being pulled and
put in cellar or pit to escape freezing.
One freezing does not injure them at
all if they are left where they grew
without disturbing them. Repeated
freezing and thawing undoubtedly
in;ure them. But the damage is done
by warmth rather than by the cold.
The parsnip being hardy starts to
grow for seed crop with the first
warm weather. Some winters it be-
gins to put out green leaves in mid
winter. But the lack of sunlight pre-
vents it from growing much, even
though the mir be mild. 1t is not gen
orally known that when green shoots
put out from last years parsnips
left in the ground the root be-
comes tough and even poisonous.
SO if parsnips are wanted for late use
they should be taken up now and ex-
posed to air long enough to dry up the
Ieeding roots. Then lay the parsnips
in trench deep enough so that light
cannot get to the crowns, and the
foots may be kept in good condition
Tor eating until June, by which time
they will be superseded by young
parsnips spring sown in hotbeds.
These young parsnips are much more
tender and sweet, and they entirely
supersede those grown the previous
year for table use at least. The win-
ter parsnips thus kept will be greedily
eaten by cows and horses that do not
have a run at fresh grass.

Necessity of Pure Stock Water.

Few farmers and stockmen are as
careful to supply the various wants OF
their stock as they should be. They
think if they furnish their animals
enough to eat at all seasons of the
year they are doing their whole duty,
little thinking that a regular and
generous supply of pure water is fully
as necessary as feed itself. Water
forms from 35 to 63 per cent. of the
total weight of the body, and enters
into the composition of every bone,
muscle and tissue. Food can only be
assimilated when in soluble state,
hence water is an indispensable aid tc
digestion.
Where it is available, running
water, either springs or creeks, is
preferable to any other for stock, as
1t is pure and needs no pumping. I'm
less contaminated by surface washings
or sewerage, creek water is of good
quality, as it is being continually
aerated and purified by exposure to
the sunshine. For domestic use a
spring or deep we'll is the best source
of pure water. The deeper the we'll
the less danger of its being contamin-
ated. The soil acts as q filter and the
more soil the water must pass through
in reaching the subterranean streams
the more thorough the filtration. A
tubular well is much safer and more
reliable source of supply than dug
well, since no water can enter
tubular we'll except at the bottom. In
dug we'll there is always danger OF
surface drainage finding its way into
it. A dug we'll may be pure when first
dug, even though shallow, and later
be contaminated from surface drainage
or other causes. No cesspool or vault
should be allowed near we'll, either
deep or shallow, unless every precau.
tion is taken to make the basin OF
such pools or vaults perfectly water
tight, to prevent the surrounding sur
face from becoming foul.
The water from different sources
has frequently been tested and the
number of germs contained in each
cubic centimeter (abeut half thimble.
full has been found to vary from four
in hundred foot tubular we'll, to
nearly three hundred thousand in
clean-looking pond, and four hundred
thousand in dug we'll receiving sur.
face drainage. A dug we'll might be
very much improved by cementing the
inside of the wall down to the water
line. This would keep the surface
water from seeping in. In dug we'll
every precaution should be used to
prevent any vermin from entering
at the top. 1t is well to lay the upper
| foot or two of he wall in cement. II
wooden sills are used as foundation
for the floor let the top be just even
with the top of the wall, then fill the
| space between the walls and sills with
cement, and if the floor is tight, not
even an earth worm can find its way
through. Every we'll shosld be ven.
tilated. Even water in a we'll will be-
come more or less stagnant without it.
A couple of tubes should extend from
the top of the pump downward a few
inches under the floor. The top OF
these tubes should be closed with fine
wire setting to exclude flies and in.
sects. The air will descend in one
tube and ascend in the other, pre-.
venting the accumulation of foul gases.
