RemoT the Calf Early.
S. M. SI. writes: It is great cruelty
to allow a calf to suck its dam several
weeks aaii, I lie a remove it. The cow
oftea grieves for her young for many
days, as shown by her moans and at
tempts to reach it. The calf also has
become attached to its dam, and is in
continual misery because it can not
reach her. Besides, it is a loss to the
owner to have the ctlf and cow fretting,
instead of quietly producing milk and
growth. If the calf is removed early,
the motherly instinct is not developed,
and she pays little attention to it. The
calf also learns to drink more readily
than if it first learn? to depend on suck
ing it3 dam.' It 13 humane and econom
ical to feed the calf from the start.
Threshmgr Oat i by Hand.
Some good farmers arc readopting
the old method of threshing their oat
cro)s with a flail, leaving the work to
be done in the winter, and thus furnish
ing employment to men who would
otherwise be idle. There are some
other advantages in Urn practice not in
cluded in the employment it gives to
labor in winter. The freshly threshed
oat straw is reality eaten by stock, and
there are usually enough light oats left in
it to make it rassably good feed. It is
better to leave light oats in the ' straw
than to put them in the bia among the
threshed grain, for unle3s the grain is
carefully graded some of these light oats
will go in the seed and help to deterio
rate the crop. "With hand -threshed oats
in cold weather there has been no dan
ger that vitality of seed has been im
paired by heating. "While the oat is in
the sheaf any dampness in the grain is
absorbed by the chaff, and as the head
is bulky and porous it dries out with
oi injury. Oats threshed by machine
& soon as harvested, and then dumped,
several hundred bishels, perhaps, in
one bin, are pretty sure to heat. It would
be better in such case if the seed were
entirely spoiled instead of having its
vitality impaired. The crop come3 up
weak, and if the season is not every way
favorable it is a partial failure at the
best, anJ this makes a larger proportion
of poor oat3 for soed the subsequent sea
son. American Cultivator.
II ow (o Bulla a Cistern.
The following directions for construct
ing a cistern are worthy of all accepta
tion. We find them in an Indiana pa
per. "In the fi st place, there i3 no
economy in digging a small cistern.
Make your cistern not less than eighteen
feet deep, jug shape, twelve to fourteen
feet across at the widest place. Cement,
as usual, on brick wall. Let it dry
pretty thoroughly; and, if necessary,
put down a tire of chircoal in an iron
ing furnace, or something of the kind, to
help dry it. When the cement is suffi
ciently dry, give the whole surface a
coat of boiled oil and yellow ochre paint,
nddiug a little Japan drier any good
painter will know the proportion. This
coating should be put on with a good,
stiff whitewash brush. Let this stand
until quite dry enough to wash off.
After it has become safely dry let the
water in until about half full; then ia a
few days havo it pumped out to take
the taste of paint out; and then you can
depend upon these great points: Your
cistern will nsver leak; the water will
never become bird by coming in con
tact with the cement; the water will
never ooze h from the outside soil;
there will be no insects or animal
cule in it. The oil paint finally
makes the cemcat wall as hard as glass,
and perfectly impervious to any leak
age either from inside or outside. I
have never built a cistern in any other
way ; have never had a leaky one ; nor
has the water ever become the least
bit 'hardened' from the cement, but it
is always clear as crystal." As for
clearness, no doubt the ordinary pre
cautions would be necessary to pre
vent the admission of impurities from
above. Commercial G.zett?.
Slablsil Anim li.
Farmers who pride themselves upon
their nice horses and cattle are not
aware, perhaps, that a dark stable is a
source of serious discomfort, to a horse
especially. Any one knows how pain
ful it is to the eyes to bo suddenly
forced to face the light ater being shut
up in darkness, and yet a horse is sub
jected to this very paia every time he
is taken from a dark stable into the
light Besides thi, a dark stable is
seldom a dry one. Sunshine and air
are both necessary to the healthfulness
of a stable. In the matter of bedding
you cannot be too careful. Give tho
animals plenty of clean straw or leaves
from tho woods. They will then re
quire less work in tho way of groom
ing than if a'dowed to he down in filth.
Observe regularity in watering as well
as feeding. It h a good plan to water
before feeding in the morning, as the
horses have been eating dry hay through
the night, and are likely to need water
before eating their morning's meal.
Cows, too, are often rendered un.
pleasant objects to look at for the want
of cleanliress ia their stablest Their
coats should be as clean and glossy as
that of a horse, and would be if proper
attention were paid their bedding. Ia
Switzerland cows are groomed with as
much care as horses, and their fine, sleek
appearance and glossy coats as much a
matter of pride to their owners. A hasty
scratching with a curry-comb is highly
appreciated by cows, as may be told by
the earnestness with which they arc
often seen to rub themselves against
trees and posts, although much of that
itching with which cows are troubled
may be relieved by merely keeping them
well supplied with bedding. -Baltimore

Farm and Garden Note.
Salt plentifully sprinkled on the icy
doorstep will have a better and cleaner
effect than ashes.
It pays to keep eyes and ears open for
the new developments of agriculture.
Our fathers didn't know it noither do
their sons.
All old, worthless trees had better be
cut out of the orchard and used for fire
wood. The orchard will look better in
the spring, and it will pay.
When butter 13 gathered in ,he churn
in granular form it is never ovcrchurned.
Pounding it after it is in a lump or large
mass is what overchurns it.
To wholly abandon a staple crop or
product because it is temporarily unprof
itable is to lose one's hold on the market
when it becomes profitable again.
Cows fed on meal mixed with straw
cut and moistened, says Prof. Arnold,
give more milk and considerably richer,
than when fed on the best hay alone.
Large profits do not always depend
upon large crops. Oae may grow an
extraordinary large crop, but the ex
pense of so doing may balance the re
ceipts.
Lay in a stock of green food for win
ter use by cutting and curing short gras
and clover, or raising a lot of mangel
beets or turnips. Easilage, cabbage,
late cut grass, rye or barley is good for
this purpose.
In this country nearly three dollars'
worth of milk, cream, but tec, and
cheese together are sold and consumed
to every doilar'3 worth of beef. The
market for dairy product3 is practically
inexhaustible.
Sheep here do not pay as great profits
as those in England. Everything de
pends on the mode of management.
Our farmers compel sheep to forage,
while in England th?y are treated as
carefully as cattle.
Old leather contains a considerable
percentage of ammonia compounds,
which are very slowly soluble. A good
way to dispose of old boots, therefore,
is to bury them at the foot of an apple
tree.
Ths necessity of keeping sheep on
dry footing should not be forgotten. A
yard in which sheep r.re kept should be
one where there i3 plenty of drainage.
Wet footing is one thi it that sheep will
not stand.
A Maine correspondent of ths New
England Farmer dilates on the utility of
the humble wheelbarrow on the farm,
but considers it, as usually made, en
tirely too heavy. It. should be strong
but light, so as to require no unneces
sary strength to handle it.
During the past six years the average
yield of wheat per acre has been greater
in New England than in any other por
tion of the country, showing 15.1 bush
els against 11.9 for tin whole country,
taking one year with another, and 11.6
in the great northwest wheat region.
A cleanly kept cow will yhld sweot
milk, with an agreeable, sweet odor,
and quite free from aiy taint or injuri
ou3 quality whatever. That such milk
is very rare is simply because such
cows are rare, and this is the reason
why th3 very best purely flavored
butter is rare too.
The growth and quality of wool, says
an exchange, ii always an important
item. as regards the profit ia keep.'ng
sheep, and if we allow the sheep to
fall into a low condition in the fall,
when wool is making good growth ia
order to protect the animal during the
winter, not only the quality but
quantity will be affected.
Small eggs are often caused by fowls
getting too fat. When you know it to
be a fact that the hen is getting old, the
probability is this is the cause of the
small sized eggs and the diminution of
the quantity. If she is allowed to goon
you will be rewarded for your good-will
in keeping her by eggs the size of mar
bles, eventually. A hatchet comes in
play ia such caes.
Most farmers do not attach the value
they should to the milk after the cream
has been taken off. There are possibili
ties with milk and eggs beyond the
vision of the average farmer. It should
be the aim of every mm who gets hi3
living out of the soil to strive to add to
its productiveness. By attempts in this
direction the productiveness of "Kirby
Homestead" his bein doubled by Mr.
Curtis within ten years. In working on
this line the income from the dairy ha3
been largely increased.
A Dog Who Wore Spectacles.
An opticivn I was told, some time
ago, the following remarkable story of a
Kentucky dog that had become almost
totally Hind. The sound of the horn
no longer aroused his blood, and while
the other dogs of the house went forth
eagerly to the huat, the old afflicted
animal remained behind, sad aud dis
couraged. While at play one day some children,
who knew the poor brute's infirmity,
placed upon his nose a pair of common
spectacles, the glasses of which hap
pened to bo very strong. Tho dog at
once awoke from -his stupor and showed
his pleasure in unmistakable signs. The
glasses were thereupon ad j in ted in the
bc3t possible manner so as to remain on
the rejuvenated animal's nose.
The next morning he started off to the
hunt with the other dogs, aud soon it
was ho who led the pack. But unfortu
nately his spectacles brushed up against
a bush and were tarn from their resting
place. The old dog allowed the others
to pass him, and then picking up the
glasses he carried th m to his master to
have them readjusted.
The dog is now a confirmed spectacle
wearer, so much so that when any one
attempts to remove his goggles he be-

The Learned Laborer.
I am in lebtcd for the following anec
dote to Mr. Nismyth, who is not only a
groat inventor and scie :tist, but an ex
traordinary repertory of anecdote. It
reiates to Dr. Adam, late rector of the
nigh school of EJinburgh, the author
of "Roman Antiquities" and other
works. Dr. Adam, in the intervals of
his labor3 a3 a teacher, was accustomed
to spend many hours in the shop of his
friend Booge, the famous cutler, some
times grinding knives and scissors, at
other times driving the wheel Oae day
two English gentlemen attending the
University called upon Booge (foi he was
an excellent Greek and Latin scholar),
in order that he might construe for them
some passage in Greek which they could
not understand. On looking at it
Booge found that the passage ' 'fickled"
him; but, beinc- a wag, he said to the
students, 4,Oh, it's quite simple! My
laboring man at the wheel yonder will
translate it for you. John 1" calling to
the old man, "come here a moment,
will you?"
The apparent laborer came forward,
hcu Booge showed him the passage in
Greek which the students wished to
have translate!. The old man put on
his spcctac'c, examined the passage,
and proceeded to give a learned ex
position, ia the course of which he cited
several scholastic authors in support o
his views as to its proper translation.
Having don3 so, ho returned to the
cutler's wheel. Of course the stulents
were amazed at the learning of tho
laboring mau. Thty said they had
heard much of the erudition of the Ed
inburgh tradesmen, but what they had
listened to was beyond anything they
could have imagined. Smiles's Anec

Hew Some Men Write
Bancroft uses a typewriter and sten
ographer, but he thinks 250 words a
good day's work, and James G. Blaine
thought he was doing well when he
accomplished 1,500 words of a morn
ing. One of the fastest writers among
the public men of to-day is Admiral
Porter, whose brain works like the
wheel of a dynamo throwing off sparks
at every turn and, whose pencil rushes
across the paper at almost telegraphic
speed. Admiral Porter wrote his
history of the United States Navy in
eleven months, and during this time
his average Was at least 75,000 words
a month, or nearly 2,500 words a day,
including Sundays. The book is as
big as a dictionary, and it contains
from 700,000 to 800,000 words. Dur
ing many of these days he did not
write at all, and his average during his
working period ran as high as 5,009
words a day. Admiral Porter is fond
of writing. He never use3 anything
now but a lead pencil, and he says ho
cannot think well without he has a
pencil in his hand. He had a slight
attack of pen paralysis once, and his
hand refuses to act whenever his finger
touches the steel of a pen. He began
his novel writing for amusement, and
he wrote "Allan Dare' without any
idea that it would be published, much
less dramatized. He stands up while
writing, and, when he becomes inter
ested he works right along for hours
at a stretch. Georga Bancroft works
only in the morning. Blaine did hi
best work before noon, and Logan
worked both morning and evening.

mixed with the pulp in the engine, so
that it was scattered throughout the
substance of the paper, while the blue
was ingeniously showered upon the
web while on the "wire," so that it ap

devised to enable them to do so But the more
delicate a chronometer is made, the, inore sub

relative of mine had been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for
upwards of forty years. The disease was most distressing in her
hands, causing the skin to crack open on the inside of the Angers
at the joints and between the Angers. She was obliged to protect
the raw places by means of adhesive plasters, salves, ointments and
bandages, and during the winter months had to have her hands
dressed daily. The pain was quite severe at times and her general
health was badly affected, paving the way for other diseases to
creep in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a great deal of suffering
in addition to the salt-rheum. She had used faithfully, and with
the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed
by her physicians, but without obtaining relief. She afterwards
began treating herself by drinking teas made from blood-purify-Jng
roots aud herbs. She continued this for several years but de
rived no benefit. Finally, about ten years ago, I chanced to read
one of Dr. Pierce's small pamphlets setting forth the merits of his

ery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and
through that great blood-purif jing organ,
cleanses the system of all blood-taints and
impurities, from whatever cause arising.
It is equally efficacious in acting upon the
Kidneys, and other excretory organs,
cleansing, strengthening, and healing their
diseases. As an appetizing, restorative
tonic, it promotes digestion and nutri
tion, thereby building up both flesh and
strength. In malarial districts, this won

diseases.

took one bottle, but seemed to be no better. However, I realized
that it would take time for any medicine to effect a change for the
better, and encouraged her to continue. She then purchased a

improved; the rheumatism entirely left her, and the catarrh was

return of either salt-rheum or rheumatism. The 'Discovery'
