ED BRAN OR: FARM NOTES, Boys, celts and calves need the most attention at a period when their per- sonal attractions are the least, As calves pass out of their babyhood and assume a languld indifference to all about them but flies and grasa, they are apt to be neglected, If they are, the loss irreparable. A colt that has not made a good start by fall had better be dis posed of at any price, while having made a good start, it must be kept con- stantly gaining, at any cost within rea- sonableolimits, The important point in stock feeding is to constantly bear in mind that a young animal gives better returns for feed consumed than an old one, A pound of meat or a pound of hay adds more to the weight of a calf than to the same animal when grown. A grown animal in thin flesh but vigor- ous, will swell out and fill up the tis- sues with water and seem to gain very heavily for a time when put on good feed and may give better returns for a given amount of feed than a young animal in good flesh, but under ordinary conditions, for both young and old, the proposition I state is true. HINTS ABOUT BUTCHERING.—1f the hogs to be slaughtered are fed within twelve hours of their killing, the food is wasted, the meat will be more disposed to sour, and it will be more dificult to remove the distended intestines and take from them the lard, Nor is it well to allow the swine to drink on the morning of the day they are killed, Koga cannot be killed too quickly. The more rapidly they are killed, and the blood got out of them, the better. A well directed blow on the head, between and just in front of the ears, will make the an!mal uncon- scious; but the chances for a mis-stroke are so many, aod as the stroke makes unft for use considerable meat, this method of killing cannot be recommen- ded. The use of the shot-gun Is no better. The rifle is the weapon to use —a ball on a line from the base of the ear to the opposite eye produces ine stant death and does net cause the waste of any meat, A TrovGH UNDER A PuMP SPOUT. ~When the pump stops, the water will drip for some time from the spout; and when the person Is in a hurry, he to fall near the pump. quence is a slippery platform and muddy ground all around. spout, ing the pail and will catch all the water that drips, It is connected with the well by a box reaching through the platform or it may connect with the pump box.

Some var- lations from the ordinary style of cook- ing may be acceptable to some who are tired of stewing and frying them, On a cold raw evening nothing will be more appreciated for tea than a plate of nicely grilled oysters. If this 1s a favorite dish, it is well to keep a soap- stone griddle for the express purpose, but a skillet or frying pan will answer. The oysters must be drained perfectly dry, this being one of the secrets of success. Ten hours is not too long to let them stand in the colander, after allowing a stream of water to run on them, and wiping them thoroughly with a thin cloth. When they are ready to be cooked, have the griddle perfectly warmed through, and grease it slightly with fresh butter. Lay on the oysters and, as fast as they brown, turn them with a spoon, not a fork, as piercing lets out the juice. Serve on a very hot dish with a very small piece of melted butter. Broiled oysters are served in the same mannper, and are delicious, pepper and salt and broiled on a wire. folding gridiron, which should be fre- quently turned, A colored cook, famous panned oysters, prepared them in this manner; and wipe them dry. In ashallow drip- pag pan, melt a large lump of butter, without allowing it {¢ brown. in the oysters and shake and stir them eonstantly until they are sufficiently cooked, then lay them on siices of toast | arranged in a dish beforehand. It is better to do a few at a time, and send toast may not become sodden. The Excitement Not Over.

PruNIXG GrAre Vixes.—Fall pruning of grape vines Is steadily gain- ing in favor, The advantages of prun. ing in November are many, Asa rule, work 1s not so pressing at that season as itis In the spring, when every mo- ment must be utihzed, and enough time to do the work well can be devoted to it. The wood is sufficiently ripened and the pleasant weather prevailing at this season makes out-door work more agreeable than at any other time, If pruningls deferred until February, it naturally proves a disagreeable job, In fall pruning more buds should be left | than in winter pruning in order to | guard against possible losses, A Userurn DEvVICE.—The followin device has been used with success in driving planks into the ground. A little wooden box or trough cut out of a solid plece of wood was placed at the top of the plank, and the mallet | was pounded upon this, Thus the plank was driven securely to its place and the top was comparatively wunin- jured, Had the attempt been made to drive the planks with the ordinary mallet, the tops would have been mashed and defaced. A QUART of milk is generally accep- ted as weighing about two pounds, but the correct weight 1s two and one-fifth pounds. Though something depends on the quality it is conceded, as a rule, that from two to three gallons of milk make one pound of butter, ome gallon of milk makes a pound of cheese, four gallons of milk yleld one gallon of cream, and one luch of cream In a can twelve inches in diameter will make a pound of butter. Tue above estimates however, will vary according to con- ditions, BY selecting the best animals and seeds of the besi plants a constant im- provement will be the result. By ne- glecting to do so both animals and plants will degenerate, There is a tendency to always revert to the originals, which can only be prevented by the careful selection of the hardiest, most perfect and best adapted to cluna- tic influecceds. Every farmer in the country can assist in the work of im- provement by giving attention to these matters, animals intended for meat. ay ais, Intamled ani. mals quickly and with less cost than other roots, and quick fattening pro- duces tender and juicy meat, THERE is a great waste of fertiliz ing material by draluage from the barn- yard.
