After receiving his proper whack as a part

He said that as a lawyer he was worth that
much more to the deal. This was new way
of looking at the matter, but the bill was re.
signedly allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men, un-

CATCHING A BUNNY.

to place the trough in. Place the trough
in trench inverted, as illustrated, and
cover with dirt. When the rabbit en-

push him out into sack which should
be so placed as to cover one end of the
trough. The opposite or entering end

BRINGING UP CALVES.
Method Here Described La Intended
to Lay the Foundation of strong,
Healthy Cows.

When / find calf dropped I do
not let it suck the COW once. l feed
it milk fresh from the mother until
it is five days old, and then l give
it four quarts of milk at feed-more
or less, according to its size-and
warmed to the temperature of new
milk. or 90 degrees. l teach it to
drink by putting two fingers in its
mouth, separated a trifle, so that the
milk may be drawn up easily, for
otherwise the little creature would
hold it's tongue so tightly to the pal
ate that no milk could be sucked up
at all. After one of these lessons, IL
will sometimes drink fairly well, and
almost always after the second or
third. If it does not, 1 do not, as
a rule, consider il worth raising.
Thus started, increase, with the
growth of the calf, the quantity of
milk, and in a fortnight's time l feed
that which is not SKINNED until IL
hours old The calf then having at
tanned the age of about eight weeks,
give it handful of crushed oats or
augment the ration gradually as the
animal grows and needs 1t. Good,
strong, healthy, sleek-looking calves
are the result, calves that readily
bring five and six dollars apiece when
only three months old. If part of
them should be retained, however, the
milk feeding is kept up until they are
six months old. In this way waste
product is utilized for economically
laying the foundation of strong cows,
milk being the very best food for de-
veloping the bone and muscle and the
full growth of the vital organs, that
a young calf can have.-Fred o. Sib-

FOOD FOR POT PLANTS.
substances Quite az Good ms Those
Sold In stores Can BE Prepared
Easily at Home.

The great demand for plant food
which is in convenient form for use and
is also clearly has caused many such
articles to be placed on the market.
Most of these are very good, but one
can prepare them at home, making the
cost less while they produce the same
results. The following are both used
in the water given the plants, though
they can be used dry by digging small
quantity into the soil around the roots.
The former method is safer, however,
as one can more easily tell what guam
tity is being used.
- Take a gallon jar and ell 1t with
bones, packing them in closely; then
add one cup Of potash which will fill
in among the spaces. Cover with water
and set away for time. Before long
the bones will all be dissolved and the
substance in the jar will resemble soft
soap. A tablespoon of this dissolved
in the water given each large plant
will be a suitable dose; other plants
being given quantity suitable to their
size. The following formula will also
be found good: To one gallon hot water
add four ounces white sugar, 16 ounces
sulphate of ammonia and eight ounces
nitrate of potash. When dissolved,
place in bottles, cork tightly and use a
tablespoon and half in each gallon of
water used on the plants. Water only
the soil, as many of these fertilizers are
too strong for the foliage, leaving I'M
slightly spots on it.-Marion Meade, in

MONEY IN OUNCES.
should Not he Grown Wherever
Apples Thrive.

One of the fruits that should be more
generally grown than II is is the
ounce, which is nearly always in good
demand for canning and sells at good
prices. Ounces are not so dear as they
were years ago, when they were held as
monopoly by farmers in certain Sec
tions, owing to the belief that this
tree was easily killed by severe cold
weather. This was the fact until it
was learned that this winter killing
was due to the freezing of the roots.
Ounce roots run near the surface, and
even when the soil only freezes few
inches deep, that freezing so cuts off
the supply of sap that even the slight
circulation which exists in all live
trees during cold weather cannot be
supplied, and the tree cannot be saved.
1t was once thought that ounce trees
needed low, wet ground, mainly be-
cause snow lies here when It will not
on high land unless protected. Where
ounce trees are planted on high and
dry soil 1t should be somewhere near
fence, so that snow may bank up
against it and protect the trees. This
snow protection exposes the ounce
tree to be injured by mice, and If deep
bank forms around the tree it will
break down the limbs by crushing
them to the earth. Probably the best
protection around ounce orchard is
row of evergreens, whose branches
are so near the ground that snow will
not drift under them. On dry land the
ounce roots go deeper and the soil will
stand pretty deep freezing without be-
ing njured.-American Cultivator.

Un.Iacked Lime for Rats.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that to keep rodents
out of oats take unslacked lime, just
sprinkle it over the floor or platform
on which one will put his grain, then q
layer of sheaves and another liberal
spread of lime. Continue in like man
ner, lining each layer Of grain to the
last, not smothering the last layer, and
that is all there is to it. keep rats and
mice out of my corn cribs in the same
way and it is invariably success. ]
also keep large quantities of un.
threshed oats in barn free from rats
and mice the same way. One barrel OF
unslacked lime is enough for 1000 OF
5000 bushels of corn or eight tons OF
sheaf oats"
