FARM AND HARDEN. Young OalTf. The least troublesome way to touch ft younp; calf to cat liny, ft Massachusetts farmer says, is to tic some hay in ft littlo bundle and liaiiir it up where the rnlf ran just reach it. The raff is a curious creat ure ami will begin nnsinff the hny about, then it will nibble it a littlo ami finally aoon pet to rating it. It will quickly learn to eat dry bran if a little is put in its mouth occaion:illy. Care should be taken in feeding grain that it is not eaten too fast. Oats, crushed or ground, is the safest grain for young calves. To feed milk alone without any coarvo food for several months is not judicious. The stomach is not snlliciently distended anil the animal is likely to j,tow to a light bellied, poor feeder. If a ralf is to be quickly fattened, it should bo penned in a comfortable, clean, well-ventilated stable, which should be kept quite dark, and the calf should be kept as quiet as possible. When to Cut llsjr. AVhen to cut hay is a matter uion which there is much diversity of opinion. If hay is cut for salo that which is cut late, csiecirtlly timothy, will bring a better price and weigh more than the early cut crop. The present year this will be an important matter, for the crop of hay will be light. Chemists, and thoso who follow the lead of the theoretical farmers, believo that grass and clover in an early stago of growth contains more nutriment than when cut after blossoming. There is no doubt of it; but the aggregate nutriment con tained in a late crop is greater, beyond question, than that in the early cut hay. If one could depend upon favorable, weather after cutting the iirst crop so as to secure a second one as larije, or nearly so, as the first one, there would be no doubt of the advantage of cutting the hny as early as in the first blooming of the clover and as soon as the heads of the grasses appear. Xee York Timet. AVhcro to Raise Kctl-Top. Red-top, Agrostis vulgaris, is fre quently recommended by agricultural writers of wide repute. Many experi enced and critical farmers and stock growers put it among the most valuable grasses. Yet it is not a grass to be recom mended without reservation. Its char acteristics vary much in different locali ties. On somu moist soils it is excellent; for others it cannot be recommended. Cattle will hunt out nnd crop close every other grass before they will cat it ufter it has become hard and wirv; and cattle in good condition put upon dry red-top pasture will lose in flesh. The aversion of the cattle increases as the grass grows older. It is nutritious, but harsh and un palatable. While red-top takes on these bad qualities in comparatively few lo calities the experience of some should warn the farmer who has not grown the grass on his own farm, to proceed cau tiously in introducing it. The form it assumes in unfavorable localities, should be borne in mind when speaking of this grass generally. A meric-in Agriculturist. Swine as Grass Renewcrs. Ffw farmer know bnw mm-l, ic lrcf in the farm by keeping the swine confined all summer in stves or yards. 'When this is done money is virtually being thrown away. There arc more joints than one. It costs twice as much to keep the hogs as it would if they were in a pasture lot. . This is reason enough why the sty and yard system should be avoided. The hogs will never make as good meat. There will bu more lean in proportion to Iho fat when they run in a pasture. This is because the grass they cat is a perfectly balanced food, and then they exercise more, which tends to develop the muscle. The nir is purer and this makes purer blood, and any novice should know that the better the blood tho better the body. Vcse aro tne benefits to tho hog; but aylaTrisaaJrnn nn,l the benefits to it are more marked than the pasturing of nny other animals. The greenest fields in tho early spring and those with the largest growth of grass are the fields in which the swine have been pastured the year before. Two seasons of pasturing will enrich almost any field and fit it for a good crop. Tho place to rear hogs and to fatten them is in the field. Here none of their valuable excrement will bo lost, and the ready earth will ubsorh it completely. The ma- swine sqems w Unit its way into tho ground or to becomo incorporated with it much more rapidly than that of uny other animal. When fed grain, other than corn, it is worth pound for pound more than tho average commercial fertil izer. Feeding Corn and Cob Meal. More light food should be mixed with ineal. Animals of all kinds will do bet ter. It is a waste of nutriment to throw away the cobs, which are a valuable as sistant in digestion. 8. H. H., of O'Brien county, Iuwa, called at the otlice recently, says Column' t Jlural World, while in the city with a carload of mixed two, three and four-year-old steers. His steers averaged 1,800 pounds and brought 4.75 per hundred, lie is a convert of corn uud cob-meal feeding for both hogs nnd cattle. He uses a mill, which grinds eight to ten bushels per hour, with two horses. He finds trouble in feeding lime to grind corn for forty head of cows and his other btock. Mixes a little oil cuke or meal in with corn while grinding, ami has observed good effects. For twenty steers he adds to the feed of corn-cob meal a pail full of the oil meal. In feed ing corn-cob meal to steers ho throws the meal into troughs, nist as the ear .... ifj t, T.i ' J ,. , ., corn is ted. 1 he cattle relish the corn- ,.k i i... i rob meal better than the ear corn, and seem to digest it easier. It is better than clear corn meal, because It has some bulk, is masticated better, and does not lie so heavily ou the stomach. Cattle eat it off the tablo clean, without scattering it around as they do ear corn. Hogs follow ing cattle do better if the cattle nie fed corn and cob meal than if fed whole com. Where whole corn is fed to the cuttle, the hogs root through the "stool'' for undigested kernels, und leave the re mainder, while, where the cattle have corn and cob meal, they eat up the whole "stool." Summer Difficulties Willi Poultry- There is work to do during summer which is often neglected because it is u busy season on the farm. Ridding the fowls of lice shonld be attended to. Even when there are no signs of life, they may be busy ut work on the fowls, making them droop and mo);e, while no amount of food will keep them in good condition. The hen, w hen some what fat, is not attacked by lice wbere evcr she can reach, for she is provided with an oil sack at the base of the tail, from which the derives oil, not only as a protection against )i,e, but to ussist in cleaning feathers The large lice, there fore, congieiiHle 0n the heads and necks. If the heu is ptW in flesh the lice may be found on all .rl of the noily. The best remedy it lard, and only a small portiou should be used, which should be rubbed on tho skin of the heads anil necks. Tho fowl should then lie held by tho legs, head downward and thor oughly dusted with Pcrsinn insect power. The quarters must also bo kept very clean. Once a week is not too often to givo such attention to hens in the sum mer, (io into tho hen house at night and force a few drops of warm lard in among the feathers of the head and neck with a sewing machine oil can. j To prevent disc.ve, keep the hens nt work by making them scratch for their grain food. ' Overfeeding is tho cnuse of bowel diseases in the summer, or rather, too much concentrated food is given, nnd not enough of bulky. If the quarters are kept clean, theio is little danger of contagious diseases unless an ad dition is made to tho flock by bringing a bird from some other farm. When 'new blood" is wanted procure a sitting of eggs of the breed desired, nt it is very important that when the coops arc clean and the fowls free from disease, no fowls from other places bo introduced. A flock may thus be stocked with lice, or infected with disease. American Agriculturist. Manure anil Weel-Sopl. Henry Ives savs in the Xew York Tri bune: It is very practicable for farmers who live near a city or village to furnish citizens with hay, straw, onts nnd tho like, nnd then draw back to their farms at least fertility enough to produce ns much more, and thus sustain their soil. Hut some will not avail themselves of this resource, for fear of introducing weeds or foul grasses to their fields. It is com mendable for every husbandman to bo certain as to the purity of tho seed ho uses, and to use every means to avoid all foul growth, still this method of in creasing his supply of manure does not necessarily involve any risk to the farmer, s far as such foul seed is concerned, for by thoroughly rotting the manure, tho germs of grain or seeds in it will bo de stroyed. The plan of making the ma nure tine before applying it to the land, I think will fully pay for the labor. How ever, as for myself, since learning by ex perience how effectually good tillage will insure clenn culture on any land regard less of its past management, and also the increased producing value of short ma nure, nnd its greater strength before this fermenting and rotting than afterward, for years Iran all tho hay, str.iw and stalks used for both feeding and bedding, through the cutting machine nnd applied the raw manure directly to the land. As for weeds, so long as it is ordained that "thorns and thistles" shall infest tho ground, we will be quite sure to have some to contend with any way ; and with all hoed crops the tillina for suhduinir one weed to the square foot would kill a hundred just the same; or, as I prefer to put it, the tillage required for the best development of the plant we are tilling will necessarily check oil other growth, whether it be ten or ten thousand weeds to each hill tilled. In using my barn yard manure in this way I was satislied that it could bo handled nnd applied enough easier and better to more than pay for the labor of cutting the fodder, saying nothing of its advantages for feeding. Hut although it was more agreeable to use, and seemed to do more f'd. still I did not hesitate to buy nnd use w hat I could get readily, asking no questions as to what it was made from, nnd only fearing I could not get enough. One good argument in favor of buying stable manure for the farm is that we see many of our best farmers doing it, and their farms are quite as clean and free of weeds as their neighbors' who only use from their own barnyards : and those who buy nnd use the most seem to take tho least heed as to whether they might thus bring in unwelcome weeds. Henry lee. The Handwriting of Ports. "The old idea that nearly all great liter iry geniuses, especially poets, w rote poor hands, h;is been exploded thorough ly," said nn expert penman to a ew i York Mail etn l Exprest reporter. He ' meditated a few minutes and proceeded i in the same strain: "To illustrate: Edgar Allan Poc wrote a fine hand. It was I rather small, but legible ns print. Ho never scrawled, however fast he wrote, j His life was checkered enough to upset ' his nerves, but through it all he wrote a fair, smooth, round hand. Richard Henry Stoddard, the white-haired poet, perhaps wrote tho most beautiful hand of any of the American poets up to several ; years ago. It was somwhat like the Spcn- ! cerian system of to-day. The letters were I well formed and even, anil properly Blridcd. Even now, well advanced in ! years, he writes a fine copy hand as easy i to read n? print. Some of his best poems j are written in a hand of such neatness and legibility as would put tho type- I writer to the blush. .Mr. Stoddard j handles a pen with wonderful celerity yet. William Cullen Bryant also wrote ! a good hand. It was not us beautiful) even as Mr. Stoddard's, but ns fair and legible ns the most hypercritical could I desire. Mr. Bryant's handwriting has ' been much discussed. He wrote a better hand than l'oe, though the latter was bet ter nt certain times than at others. John j. Whittier is master of a fine, plain hand that the printers bless. It is as simple, small and unassuming as he is, and can be read easily. ,lohn Howard l'ayne, author of "Home Sweet Home," could well have passed for nn instructor in penmanship, his handwriting was so admirable. It was somewhat too small, if anything, but all the letters were former' with st tilling accuracy. No F' nor K's.

God keeps his people from trouble by raving them from sin. Horrow is tho only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness. One of the greatest blessings you can enjoy, is a tender, honest and enlightened conscience. It is not only arrogant, but it is profli (?ato for a man to disregard tho world's opinion of himself. Live by the day; you will have daily trials, and strength accordingly; lenvo to-morrow to the Lord. In certain souls, more haughty than tender, pardon is a polite form, a sort of ruphemism of contempt. There is a Givlie proverb: "If the best man's faults were w ritten on his forehead, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes." It is a great and noble thing to cover tho blemishes and to excuse the failings of a friend; to draw a curtain before his stains, nnd to display his perfections; to buiy his weakness in silence, but to pro claim his virtues upon the housetop. What is with tho treasure must fare as the treasure; the heart which haunts the treasure-house where tho moth and rust corrupt, will itself be rusted nnd moth eaten. Many a man, many a woman, fail nnd flourishing to see, is going about with a rusty, moth eaten heart. Cleanliness in Holland. Dutch cleanliness Is famous, and de serves its fame. The Dutch are the only people who live ns if cleanliness were not next to, but a part of, godliness The trav eler, on entering his room in nn inn, finds the linen snow-white, the window-pane tarnsparent as the air, the furniture shin ing ns if newly varnished, nnd the floor so clean that a magnifying glass could not discover a speck thereon. There is a basket for waste-paper, a tablet for scratching matches on, a dish for cigar ashes, a box for cigar stumps, a spittoon every man is supposed to smoke n boot-jack, nnd even thing to remove a pretext for soiling anything. Even his candlestick is of copper, nnd of the size of a dinner-plate. It might sustain a torch, but holds instead a candle, ns large ns a lady's small linger. No grease should be spilt from that candlestick. The traveler stands on a bridge, nnd overlooks tho vessels crowded in the canal. Each one is as clean ns the room he has just left. Tho mast nnd the deck are varnished, and shine like n re cently scrubbed house-floor. The cabin has its windows of clear, clean glass, each one with its white muslin curtains tied up with knots of rose-colored rib bon. The sailors, "women, and children are busy, every spare moment, washing, sweeping, polishing every part. Do Amicis, an Italian, on visiting the kitchen of a house in Delft, could find but one word to express his- feelings: "Splendid !" The walls were ns white as untouched snow; the saucepans reflected like mirrors, nnd the mantlepiece was or namented with a muslin curtain, like the canopy of a bed. The fireplace was cov ered withchina tiles that looked as pright as if no fire had ever been lighted there. The shovels, tongs, nnd poker, and the chains and hooks seemed made of polished steel. "A lady in a bnll-drcss might have gone into every hole and corner of that kitchen,nnd come forth without n smirch upon her whiteness." The master of the house, seeing the Italian's surprise nt the fact that a ser- I vant-girl was cleaning up, where there recnied not the shadow of dirt, said : "To have nn idea of what cleanliness is with I Us.you should watch one of these women for an hour. There n house is soaped and ! sponged and rubbed like a person. It is j not cleaning, it is making a toilette. Sho j blows in the cracks between the bricks, ! pokes in the comers with linger and pin, i makes a minute supervision enough to fatigue the eye as well as the arm. It is truly a national passion." When asked whence arose this mania for cleaning, he answered: "It is due to the atmosphere, which injures wood and metal; to the dampness nnd smallness of the houses, and the multiplicity of small objects favoring dust; to the superabun dance of water; to the need of the eye, which finds beauty in simple cleanliness; and, finally, to the emulation which pu-hes things to extremes." The Age Rings in Trees. Every day some pet theory, long held and honestly venerated, is being demol ished and sent to the limbo of myth With Tell's apple, Washington's cherry tree and other old acquaintances, now demonstrated to bo myths. Now the rge-rings in trees has to suffer limboni.a lion, if that word may be allowed. Mr. it. W. Furras, ai agent of tho United States Forestry Department, who has given much attention to the age of trees as indicated by rings ns well us to tho period at which trees of different speciso top growing und that ut which the wood ii at its best, has reached some conclu sions of general interest. He says: "Concentric or annual rings, which were once accepted ns good legal evi dence, fail, except where climate, soil, temperature, humidity and nil other sur roundings are regular uud w ell balanced. Otherwise they are mere guess work. The only regions within my knowledge where either rings or measurements were reliable indications are in the secluded, I even und regularly tempered valleys of I the Southern Pacific coast.'' Annual measnrements of white elm, catalpa. soft maple, sycamore, pig hick I ory, cottonwood, chestnut, box elder, ) honey locust, coffee tree, burr and white I oak, black walnut, osage orange, white i pine, red cedar, mulberry und yellow w il ' low, nineteen species, made in Southeast- crn Nebraska, show that "annual growth ! is very irregular, sometimes scarcely pcr- ceptiblc und again quite large," and this j he attributes to the difference in seasons. I As trees increase in age, inner rings de crease in size, sometimes almost disip I pcaring. Diminished rate of grow th after a certain age is the rule. Of four great beeches mentioned by London, there w ere three, each about 17 feet in girth, whoso ages were respectively BO, 103 nnd '.iOO years. Mr. Furras found 13 rings in a black locust b" years old, ill rings in a shell-bark hickory of 13 years, 10 rings in a pig hickory of (i years, 1 1 rings in a w ild crab apple of 5 years, and only 20 rings in a chestnut oak of 24 years. An American chestnut of only four years had U rings, while a peach of 8 years had only live rings. J.iiinlier WorUI. AUaudrr'a .Maternal (iialilics.

Tho Norfolk jacket is used for Iwth cotton nud flannel dresses. English mantles for carriage wear are of white silk, braided in terracotta or in velvet. Watered silk is fashionable, and is used for skirts with lneo or gauze draperies. It is predicted that scarfs with hoods, which were popular several years ngo,are to bo worn again. The newest ribbons show heavy cable edges in place of the looped edges hereto fore fashionable. Full blouses, w ith round or pointed yokes, nrenlikc worn by little girls, misses nnd slender ladies. A Mexican mother of twenty-eight children has been pensioned by the Mexican Government. IYndant car drops nro coming in fash ion again. The solitaire diamond earring has apparently had its day. Pins simulating clusters of orange blos soms, bedewed with diamonds are used to hold bridal veils in place. Of late there has been a revival of coral of the pink variety in the shape of rows of beads and plain polished car drops. Very large round hats aro in fashion. These nte trimmed with multicolored floweis trailing over the hat like ostrich feathers. The use of fanev bonnet pins, to secure the stringlcss bonnets and some hats upon the head, is ou tho increase, und many unique designs arc seen. Some novel parasols nro entirely cov ered with bows and loops of very narrow ribbon. These may be stylish but the effect is decidedly ragged. Corn color is much worn on leghorn hats this season and makes nn attractive back ground for many colored flowers, particularly the brilliant lined ones. The present tendency in children's clothing is to ndjust it to the figure by folds. This style is generally becoming, according well with the case and grace of childhood. f I.ineu collars and cuffs are again fash ionably worn with wool dresses. Tin collars are high, straight bands, or else they are turned over in points in front in the English shape. Mask veils with scalloped borders may be had in tulle of every color, and also in gauze or grenadine, dotted w ith chenille, uud with rows of dots,set closely together, marking the edge. A new way of wearing a locket ot handsome pendant is to attach it to the left side of the dress upon the brenst with a dainty bow of satin ribbon matching the trimmings of the costume. Trouville gloves stitched with white instead of the color of the glove, are the stylish wear for this season. There is no embroidery on the back, and tho wrists arc whole and five-button length.
