E5 Ssve a Valuable f.Ifo. A Bear Brook farmer near Danbury, Couu., is the owner of a herd of pedi gree cattle, and a year ago a cult was born of particularly choice stoc k. For some reason the culf refused to titke milk, and could not be taught t drink. An ingeuious 1 'anbury man a d iy or two afterward, learniug of the fact, bought the calf for seventy live cents, lie took it home and placd in the calf's mouth an I'L'fJ, and theu with bauds ou its avvs forviuly shut them. This broke the egg and tho auimal swallowed the contents, exceptiug the shell, which the owner careful y removed.

Clinton B. Fisk. Drink in f Anion); Kiicllsli Women. It seems that tho women of Kugland are in a bad way as regards drink. Dr. Imlaeh has informed the British Medical Association that women drink to excess as mueh as men, and that in l.iverimil it is tho wives who drink. The use of opium, chloral, and other narcotics is much more prevalont among women than among men. Women, however, have a better excuse for their excesses than the other sex. They drink, as a rule, lie cause they havo some worrying ailment, nnd keep on until the habit is soltie I upon them. With nsreotits the beginning of tho nbuso is generally traieulilo, says Dr. lmlach, to medical prescriptions.

The di:li culty originates in not killing them promptly as soon as they appear above ttie surinco, or, u possible, a little bo fore. When an annual weed seed has sprouted, its root nt first is only a tine, Mender white thread, which exposure to sun and nir c.au ses to wither nnd perish. The slightest brushing with a garden rnke destroys the small weeds in its path as effectually as would deeper cultiva tion. But let this thread-liko libio thicken, and itself become tho centro from which numerous small fibres spread, nnd its destruction becomes a more dillicult matter. If uprooted, it can only bo dono by loosening the sur faco soil. So long as the root lies in contact with tho earth, its rootlets will catch hold nnd try to furnish tho plant with moisture from the soil. In a rainy time, wheu weeds have been at all neglected, cultivation may even do injury rather than good, tinrdeners kniw that frequent transplanting makes plat ts stocky, nnd gives them numerous tibro us roots. It serves tho same pur pose with weeds. The worst of these, when it first sprouts from the seed, is easily killed. No doubt a young Canada thistle or quack seed sprouting and pushing forth its fine root can be de stroyed hv the brcsh of a hoc. But let themdcvelop the underground stems,and their eradication becomes an intermin able job. Amcriam Cultitator. Rnrfoy for I, ate Fall Feed. A writer in the Jfirror awl Farmer gives his experience with barley as fol fows: I sowed two bushels of barley on 130 rods of gTound, which had just grown. a crop of oats, on August. U, loS7, and seeded it with timothy nt the same time. It grew well, and during the hitter part of Octotcr, when almost, everything elso wns sere nnd brown, it was a pretty nud refreshing sight, as beautiful as a field of wheat in June and a wonder to nearly all who oasscd by, and I was often nmuscd to see old farmers leave thoir wagons and get over the fenco to ex amine it, and were not satisfied even then without consul ring me. To nearly all it wns a revelation to learn that barley would stand such heavy frosts and still keep green, and some thoujjht it must bo a new variety of Mnnitaba frost proof wheat which they hud read about. It was sown at just the right time for October feed, bu't would have held green better in November if it had bceu sown three or four days later. To bear frosts well it needs considerable vitality left in tho plant and that is all used up when the plant produces seed. Our first heavy, killing frost came on October 15, nboiit one week later than usual. And I think from August 12 to 15 is. tho right time to sow in our climate. Farmers in New Hampshire would probably need to sow a little earlier. It makes a nico cow feed, richer than fodder corn, though of course not near so bulky, nnd horses aro very greedy lor it. If the grass sown with it will produco a full crop next season, I think we can mow a meadow, turn it over, seed with barley nnd crass. ret an extra croo for our labor, lose no time for the land and have new meadows often, but we must not forget to pile on the manure. . Farm and Garden Notes. Whenever the work of the farm will permit, it will pay to plow up a good patch for turnips. The man who raises coi'ts cannot afford to have a slow-walking or an ill-tempered horse on his farm. Keep hoes, spades, forks, etc., in the oat bin. The oats prevent their becom ing damp and rusty. Putting the chicken coops under the plum and cherry trees is killing three birds with one stone. The cyclono lusts for but a moment, and you may build after it; but extrava gance stops only at the grave. Fine, silky hair on un animal indi cates that it will fatten readily, while coarse, stiff hair indicates tho reverse. Paris green and all poisons used about the farm or house should be plainly lablcd poison, and kept out of children's reach. It is said that you can break hens of the habit of egg-eating by giving them several feeds of old bacon cut up in small bits. Don't sell off the best stock ; it should be picked out and kept upon the farm. It is very poor economy to follow any other plan. Covers for the hen and her brood to roost in should be mado rat proof and covered securely to keep out rain. Covers should be fastened down so they can't blow off. As soon now as you can spare the old hens fatten them for market. They will not lay much for the nextux months and in that time they will eat as much as they aro worth. AH birds that feather out early are hard to raise, and on'y extra utteiition of the right kiud will save a large percent age of tlicin. The severe drain upon the system of the littlo chicks in feath ering is the cause of this. Woodchucks annoying in field and garden were exterminated by placing at their burrows a quarter of an apple w hich had been cut two-thirds through and Paris green inserted in the crevice. They cruwl into their holes to die, aud thus bury themselves. A man who has tried it says that wooden posts treated as follows, at a cost of two (eats apiece, will last so long that the party adopting it will not live to see his posts decay. Take boiled linseed oil, and stir in pulverized charcoul to the consistency of paint, and put a coat over the timber. Manure thrown outof a stable window and allowed to accumulate against the burn tats olf paint and hastens decay of Siding and of sill, and when removed ic leaves un ujjly looking spot. A shield can be m.ido of boards nailed to scunt- ling and tct up against the barn, the board side out, to give an air space be tween that und the siding. Wheitho manure is removed the shield can bo taken down if desired. The American Vultienlor reconimend a mixture of hvdrauliu cement und fckim milk for painting farm buildings and fences. The cement is placed in a, bucket aud sweet nkim-uiilk stiired in until the mixture is of thu consistency of cream. Tho pioportions lire iibouO one quurt of cement to a gullou of milk. Color may be addod if desired. This ta ut is cheap and dtnbhs. " To break a dog r,r sucking eggs, open nn cg. at ono cud, tako out' part of tho contents and insert a tcaspoonful of pul verized cnyenno pepper through a small funnel. Hold tho dog nnd let him sco tho cgir, then put it in his mouth, shut his jaws and crush tho egg. This is speedy nnd effectual. What I,anl to Drain. ' Many fnrmers tako tho time between iwhc.it haivcst nnd corn cutting for put ting in tilo. Tho question naturally arises, what kiud of laud will it pny to drain? It is claimed by somo that all lands thnt aro not naturally undcrdrnincd can bo profitably tilo drained where land is valuable However this may be, it is certainly a profitable investment to tile drain all low, tint, wet and cold lauds, where an outlet can bo obtained. , Of tho yearly amount of rainfall, n ,portion immediately runs oil into the 'streams nnd is carried away. Some is taken up again into tho atmosphere by evaporation, but a grciit part of that which falls on uplands sinks into the earth. Of courso it must find its way out. It does so by oor.ing otitaround tho ibnso of the hills nt tho edges of tho low ilnnds, which are usually underlaid with a stratum of impervious clay. Flat lands are not only saturated with tho water which falls on them and runs di rectly on them from tho surface of tho upland, but aro kept still more wet and cold for a longer time by cold water, which is constantly soaking them, t-uch Ilnnds aro unproductive of anything, ex cept a very poor quality of native grass, and very poor pasturage. They can, by 'tile draining, be made as valuable as tho very best cf upland, producing enor mous crops of .corn, clover, and all culti vate.! grasses. Low or marsh lands that aro undoilant with a thin stratum of clay, through which cold water liscs, being forced up by the pressure of the water from the higher level of tho surrounding upland nro of little value, no matter how good the surfaco dra'nage mny be, for they aro cold and wet all summer, and in many places so soft and miry that it is dillicult for stock to get what little sour crass grows on them. Such land can be mode very produc tive by tilc-drnining. Very olten tho lirst crop of corn will pay tho whole ex pense ol tiling. Frequently, land that has good surfneo drainngo is cold and unproductive. This can generally bo mado productive by laying lines of tile, three or four feet deep, at intervals throuch tho field. Unless the land to be drained is very level, a man of observation anil judg ment run Iny out the lines of the tilo with out the aid of an engineer, but there must bo no depressions in tho tile, if you wish a successful, lasting job. -J-arm, Fuhl and H'.ockman. The Care of Iambs. For ewes which are stubborn in their disposition to disown a lamb small pens should be made. Kvcry sheep farm should have a few of these pens mnde in iraincs, tnat can lie taken apart anil put away when not wanted. Thcso frames are made like gates, four feet long and threo feet Inch, the bottom board being high enough for the lamb to creep under. The ends of these frames aro fastened to gether with cross pieces aud hooks and Maples, or short pieces of small ropo to hold them together. A ewe confined in one of these pens put up in a stablo the darker it is tho better cannot oscape from the lamb, and if properly sicured canp.ot drive it nwny. If she lies down, ns some wdl, to uvo d the lamb, two broad bands of sacking should bo fastened across the pen from side to side tinder her belly, which will keep her up. We never found it pay to raise a limb by hand. The difference between the first milk of a civo and cow's milk fully ex plains the reason why a cosset Inmb should be dwarfed and stunted. 1 he food is not suillcieiitly rich, nnd tho lamb is half sta ved, nlthough its belly may be full. A child mny take an orphan lamb and rear it on a bottle as a play thing, but it is poor business for a full grown shephctd to potter over such a hraall affair. It is far better that he Should give previous attention to feed ing his ewes so that thcro should be milk for all tho lambs, twins and trip lets, if there should be any, as well us single ones. As tho lambs grow to sufficient age, they should have some of the mixed meal above mentioned as given to the sheep. For tho lambs, a small addition of sugar may be made, enough to give the meal a sweet tasto, which will make it more nutritious nnd palatable. To secure freedom from molestation in the enjoy ment of this food creeps or pens, into wtiicn tho litmus can crawl, but the hheep ennnot, should be provided in tho field. These may be made of a few poles set in the ground, und narrow bars nailed to them through which the lambs can creep. A trough should bo put in this pen, and bo supplied daily with a sutiicient quantity of the meal. The lambs will visit the pen several times a day and take a little of the meal. F.ng lish shepherds purchase meal of this kind medicated with a little ginger, salt, caraway seed and sugar, at t or :i cents a pound, and find this so-called "lamb food'' profitable. American shepherds may very well follow their example, at less thau half tho cost, but with quite us much protit. Lambs should be docked when two weeks old, and the mule lambs should be castrated at tho same time. These' operations are quite simple and easy. It is best to pull up tho loose skin of the tail before severing it, so that the skin may be drawn down over the stump to cover it, the wool being daubed with tar and drawn and twisted together to cover the wound and product! quick healing. Tho great secrets in successful castration are to make a long, sweeping cut to thu bottom of the scrotum, to scrape the attachments apurtand not cut them, and to apply plenty of carbolaled vaseline or salted butter, with a little kerosene oil, to the wound. These precautions secure ample escape for tho healing pus, very little bleeding, and rapid healing, with safety from llies, UYeio York 'l ima. A Keiuni'kalile Memory.
