An English dairy farmer gives the
following as his met bed of feeding
calves: He makes a porridge of four
quarts of coni mral, two quarts of
t ground buckwheat, four quarts of
wheat bran and two handfuls of liu
cced meal. Each calf receives a heap
lng tablcspoonful fer each mral, which
Is undo Into a porvldge with water,
and added to one quart of sweet milk.
In which a pinch of salt Is put The
grain Is gradually Increased each week.
As regards this ration it may ho said
that skim mUk could well be substi
tuted as more economical than new
milk, and also that the feeding of
corn meal and ground buckwheat
would have a tendency to Induce flesh
foruiing habits iu the animal.

Quite often It Is possible by thorough
culture to bring up land which may
«ot have been prodding anything near
4Hat-U should la a state of high fer
tility. Of tbla fact we have recently
had good proof. On a comparatively
new piece of land we bad been having
trouble for some tlmo with wireweed,
a species of goldenrod. Tboae who
are acquainted with this plant do not
need to be told what a bard thing It
la to get rid of. It baa long fibrous
roots, often stretching out Into the
earth five or six feet and ramifying in
every direction. 1 have pulled until
my back ached on these roots. Wc
have been trying to get rid of tbe pest
by this sort of work, pulling by baud.
It came up quickly In a field of po
tatoes. We thought by keeping tbe
cultivator going we might root It out
The result was not favorable. It per
sistently kept Its roots In the boil
Every tiny rootlet t prong up Into a
new plant. It seemed as If tbe more
pieces It was broken Into tbe more
plants there would be.
ta» summer oerore uaytng we
plowed that field, potting on a chain
to draw under every stalk ot the rank
'weeds. Then We rested and let the
hot sun of summer work. And It did
very effectually. After baying we
took the matter in hand again. Here
and there stalks of the waed bad
thrust up their beads. Herr we rested
for a time, when we went on with the
harrow and gave the ground a good
stirring op. There tbs field lay all
winter. This spring we sowed the
land to oats and needed It down to
elover and timothy. The sunshine and
tha frosts of winter bad dene more
than we could with all oar back-break
ing work and mere than Ike horse and
cultivator could do. Ia their place
came a fine crop of oata and best of
all a Dice seeding of timothy and
elover. We ere trying ettll another
field this year la the earns way. We
ere satisfied te lose one crop If by so
doing we can be rid of tbe weed peats.
Tbs time le coming when we will be
compelled te recognise more frequent
ly tbe value of rent for ear land any

When le Market rulsn.
With perishable goods, the producer
ficus Well to seek the best nearest
market before the articles hare

thay will eodaugcr la transit; but with
farm products that can bo kept In
definitely, the question of holding le
more ceaopBeated. Undoubtedly there
are r stresses la balding too laog. and
la nwttag te amrket tod early. Some
farmers are as convinced that bolding
geode la had policy, that thay rush
products to market a he eat straight

apparent tlum when there Is a scarcity.
Then every one Is sure of a glut r.nd
break In prices, ned each oue trice to
get ahead of nil others. The remit
Is tlrat they nil get Their goods In
market about the same time.
It la far li ?tto.r to hold ofl a few
weeks or months. I<et the lit id pint
work Itrelf out. and tbcu when price*
recover n little, ship the goods, hot
never In very large quumlckc. It is
bettor to trust your crops In Install
ments. A severe loss may thus ba
seved. If price* are poor wheu you
ship them, the whole season's crops
will tell for unprofitable luuu.
In holding goods the matter of
shrinkage must be considered. In tbo
case of bay and grain this amounts to
a good deal In the course of a few
months, but It la almost unimportant
when held on.y for a shore time. New,
green hay never brings tbe tame as
dry bay. and hence the question of
shrinkage is partly discounted ahead.
The loss through moulding, rotting
and decaying in oue way or another
must be considered. If perfect stor
age conditions ore provided this loss
should be very little, but even then
there la more or leas danger of loss
from rata, mice aud insects. This must
be thoroughly discounted whenever
anything la held for five cr six months.
In tbe cities mammoth storage
houses are erected for kceplDg all farm
products indefinitely. Speculators pur
chase goods when prices are very low
and store in these houses for a rise
la price, paying meanwhile high rent
nnd commission*. Many farmers have
reasoned that if these speculators ouil
dealers could find It profitable to storo
their goods in winter, they canid do
It likewise at a profit on the farm.
This la generally false reasoning for
the almple reason that the storage
houses provide absolutely against any
loss from Insects or rats, and to a
large extent from shrinkage. The
farmers cannot pronerve tbair products
under similarly favorable conditions.
Moreover, tbe speculators are right
In tbe market ready at a moment's no
tice to take advantage of bigb prices,
to sell in enormous quantities. This
gires them an advantage over the
farmer In every transaction.—N. T.

TUB euggcstion which was
some time ago made In these
columns that able bodied la
ctates of pr Ivons end peniten

proved roads seem* ot last to ho acted
upon to a considerable extern, and with
gratifying results. The convicts la
llir State prisons are as a rule other
wise employed, hut those In chargo of
the penitentiaries have uot been able to
provide work In priscu shops for the
prisoners v.uder their control, and so
liavo sought It outside. In eight or
more counties of this State the peni
tentiary prisoners are employed either
nt road building or at crushing stone
for road building. It is not known that
any bad effects have been experienced
fivn the undertaking, while the good
effects ere numerous nnd obvious.
Among the latter these are conspicu
ous: The prisoners have the physical
ond moral benefit of healthful labor
In the open air: the prisoners are made
to pay their way inattad of being a
heavy charge upon the common.ty; the
construction of goed rca.is Is promoted
and the cost cf them Is decreased; aud
the number of prisoners Is Oliclnisted.
lor tramps and other “sons of real”
avoid counties where committal to the
penitentiary means stone freaking and
road bulldtug. It may be added that
one of the chief ob.lectirns to the
system—the offensive parading of con
victs in the public view—has been
found groundless, for no one would
take the penitentiary prisoners work
ing on the ronds (a he other than or
dinary laborers.
.mere is reason to ooueve tost inia
rystem might profitably and properly
be extended throughout the State, and
be applied to the Inmates of State pris
on* as well si of penitentiaries—when
other work falls. The prisoners might
also be employed at repairing and
maintaining the roads after they aro
built. Most of the prisoners at Slag
Sing are now at work, bat it Is net
long since that moat of them were
Idle and were serlonsly suffering, mor
ally sod physically, from enforced
li'.lcaes*. And yot within a few hoars’
drive of Osslulog are hundreds of
miles of road that are In their badness
a reproach to the community and a
cause of vexation and of actual pecun
iary lots to all who aro compelled to
use them. TVe do not mean, of course,
that counties and towns are to wait
until prisoners can be secured to bu'ld
good road*. But whenever and wher
ever able bodied prisoners aroft^^Qp
Wprosi-h et bad road* Is silPHBl
twofold. All roads should fce made
and kept good, and all prisoners who
ore able to work should bo kept nt

are two rules which should bo con
