The Artificial Cow.

The artificial COW has arrived in
town. Patsy Fleming is out with g
new proposition designed to take the
place of COW in givinga calf. nutrie
ment. The. continuance is arranged
to screw onto wall or post or any
old thing that will hold it. There is a
long arm stretching out ON the end
of which is sinker, which drops into
the milk thatsis prepared for the calf's
meal. The calf is supposed to walk
up to the machine, take the nipple or
f1ip-fop in his mouth, clamp his jaws
and draw in his breath. The milk
will then flow into his oesophagus and
from there finds its way into the place
where it will do the calf the most
good. We are little skeptical as to
the practical value of the machine.
Next to hog calf is the most obsti-
nate of animals. How are you going
to get the calf up to the fiip-fop?
after you get him there how are you
going to make him take it in his
mouth? Is he not liable to get bunt-
ing streak on and ram the whole bust
ness down his throat or out through
the back of his head? An experience
of twenty-five years on the farm en-
ables us to state positively that calf
break calf to take nourishment in
any way but from it's mother or some
thing equally as good, is to break its
back by sitting on it or choke it al
most to death by running your finger
down its throat. 1t also helps to twist
its tail and call it all kinds of pet
names. If you swear a whole lot the
calf is more likely to take kindly to
its artificial nourishment When all
other means fail, drag the critter
around the pen by the tail few times
and then do hornpipe on its recum-
bent form. A few treatments of this
kind will teach the calf who is boss
and he will not try to be bossy any
more. Never try to feed a calf by
artificial means when you are dressed
for church or ball. Better dress for
wrestling match, because the calf is
liable to get two points down ON you
when you are not looking. Some
people seem to think the calf is a
sucker. He is. A natural born one
at that, but he usually makes a sucker
out of any body that undertakes to
show him any new tricks in feeding
himself. Mason Democrat.

Must Improve Their stock.

American hog ~raisers must still
further improve their stock in the
properties that command the highest
prices. The hog must be developed in
the hams, and in lean meat through
out the carcass. Waste parts must
be decreased, so that they will dress
out better. That hogs have beer i'm
proved as much as any other sort cf
stock is a palpable fact, and he who
sets any limit to possible improve
ment is not progressive. The lean
pork question has not attracted much
attention in this country, s.n Is be-
cause packers have had more regard
for pounds that quality. Eut we are
growing pork for Europe as well as
America, and II product does not
bring the oest prices and d. rs not
command the best customers ii the
old world. Scandinavia puts before
the English consumer the finest ba-
con in the world, but her hogs do not
weigh as much as ours, q carry to
the shambles as much grease, which
is the least valuable part. The pack
ers should act in this matter, for
when they will pay more for lean
meat than for soap-grease, the hog
men will furnish the bacon hogs

AN INTERESTING PROCESS.
The Various Changes That Take
Place within an Egg During the
Process of Incubation.

An English writer thus describes
the various changes that take place
within an egg:
The hen has scarcely set on her
eggs twelve hours before some line
aments of the head and body of the
chicken appear. The heart may be
seen to beat at the end of the Sec
ond day; it has at this time some
what the form of a horseshoe, but no
blood yet appears. At the end of
two days, two vesicles of blood are
to be distinguished, the %pulsation of
which is very visible; one of these is
the left ventricle, and the other the
root of the great artery. At the
fiftieth hour one auricle of the heart
appears, resembling a moose folded
down upon itself. The beating of the
heart is first observed in the auricle,
and afterward in the ventricle. At the
end of the SEVENTEEN hour the wings
are distinguishable; and on the head
two bubbles are seen for the brain,
one for the bill, and two for the
fore and hind parts of the head. To-
ward the end of four days the two
auricles already visible draw nearer
to the heart than before. The liver
appears toward the fifth day. At the
end of a hundred and thirty-one
hours the first voluntary motion is
observed. At the end of seven hours
more the lungs and the stomach be-
comes visible; and four hours after
ward the intestines, the loins and the
upper jaw. At the hundred and forty
fourth hour, two ventricles are WISH
bic, and two drops of blood instead
of the single one as seen before. The
seventh day the brain begins to have
some consistency. At the one hundred
and ninetieth hour of incubation the
bill opens and the flesh appears on
the breast. In four hours more the
breastbone is seen. In six hours
after this the ribs appear, forming
from the back, and the bill is very
visible, as well as the gall-bladder.
The bill becomes green at the end
of two hundred and thirty-six hours;
and if the chicken be taken out OF it's
covering it evidently moves itself.
The feather begins to shoot out to-
ward the two hundred and fortieth
hour, and the skull becomes gristly.
At the two hundred and sixty-fourth
hour the eyes appear. At the two
hundred and eighty-eighth the ribs
are perfect. At the three hundred and
sixty-hrst the spleen draws near the
stomach and the lungs to the chest.

Eggs are an excellent food for

When the sow eats her young it
is her method of notifying her owner
that she has been neglected. The sow
that has an abundance of green food
and clean drinking water will rarely,
if ever, eat her young.
The best way to retard blooming
of fruit trees in spring is to scrape
away the soil and expose the roots
as much MS possible to the cool air
of the south only. In the north an
opposite plan is required.

should be cut early, Some grasses, if
permitted to mature, make hay that

To make good hay the grass
should always be cut before the
seeds mature, and some before the
seeds are formed. Alfalfa should be
cut when the first bloom appear
