TAKE CARE OF THE CALvES.-Much OF
the future growth, and in fact much OF the
profits of the farmer arising from his STOCK,
depends upon the care which it receives
during the first year. / do not wish to be
understood by this that if a farmer takes
good care of his stock the first year, he can
afterward let them run, haphazard every
good farmer will see that his stock is at all
times we'll cared for. But the first year is
the foundation ; it is the starting point OF
their future growth. There are many far

TURNIP FLAVOR IN MILK AND BUTTER.
"A correspondent of the American Agri-
culturist states that last winter he fed tur.
nips in the usual way at milking time to five
cows, until the milk and butter became so
strong that it could not be used. He then
commenced feeding Immediately after milk
ing and found that "there was not a parti-
Gle Of turnip flavor in the milk or butter.''
After a time the taste returned. On inves-
tiSation, he found that one of the cows was
nearly dry, and was MIXED only once
day, while she was fed with turnins
twice day. She gave but a pint of milk
per day, so that when fed in the morning She
could have had only about half pint of milk
in her bag; yet this received so much taste
from the turnips that it spoiled the milk of
four other cows in full flow. To make the
test complete he had her MIXED twice a
day, when the difficulty at once ceased, and
did not recur. Evidently a very small
amount of milk in the udder will suffice to DO
the mischief, and if drying-oif cows are
MIXED ouly once a day while on turnlp ieeu.
their milk should not be mixed with tnat
from the rest of the herd.

The President, as might have been
expected, will issue all the orders
that Kellogg desires, in order to fix
him strongly in seat to which he
really has no claim. The fact that
he is usurper and a public male
factor, by no means prejudices his
cause with an Administration that is
as corrupt as he is, and one, too, that
tramples upon oaths and laws with
the same disdain. The President, as
the Louisville Courier Journal boldly
declares, has wantonly violated the
law Of Congress, under which he pro-
fessed to act, in ordering troops to
support Kellogg in the first instance.
That he persists in the same course,
is not surprising. There is class Of
men who sometimes change their
minds; there is another class who
never do: But the American people
must realize the fact that the great
est outrage in American history has
Just been consummated. The un-
principled scoffer may sneer at the
probable results, the fawning time
server may commend the deed, but
the naked fact is there, that the plain
written letter of the organic law pre-
sents no obstacle in the way Of a
brood of conspirators, banded togeth-
er to rob and murder, when they are
