POOD FOR OnOWINO STOCK.
The feeding of young animals is a
very important part of the business of
a fnrmer and requires study, for two
especial reasons. One is that what is
lost by neglect in the yonth of any
animal can never be regained by any
future caro and liberality; and the
second that a young animal in its early
life is only able to digest food nnder
imperfect conditions. The stomach
and other digestive organs of a young
animal are lifted nt first only for the
digest ion of milk, and this must be its
staple food for a much longer time
than is the custom to' provide it. It is
only when the teeth are formed and fit
for ubo that the parotid glands and
pancreas begin to secrete the sub
stance that is needed for the digestion
of any food that contains starch, for
starch is not itself absorbed, but only
as it is changed into sugar by the action
of this fluid. Thus it is only courtiug
danger and attempting impossibilities
to try to rear a healthy and profitable
calf without milk, unless by the use of
some specially prepared foods that may
be digestible by the young animal.
This fact accounts for the invariable
diarrhoea that follows the use of any
kind of grain foods iu the feeding of
young calves, aud proves the necessity
for as long feeding with milk as may
bo possible. American Agriculturist.
BVCCESSrVE OAT CROPS.
There is good reason why the oat
crop should be tho most exhaustive of
any of the grains. Its leaf is not bo
broad as that of barley or wheat, and
it sends its roots very much farther
than does barley at least. Wheat roots
reach down into the subsoil and get
moihture, and probably also some plnut
food, where the spring grain would
not reach. Out roots completely fill
the surface soil to the depth of the
plowing. It is this which makes it so
hard to get a good catch of clover, and
tt.i failure to get a good clover growth
is usually tho reason why the land is
left till another year and sown with
oats again. We have known several
cases in which successive oat crops
were grown for several years, with the
result of bo entirely destroying the
soil's fertility that tho land would
scarcely produce white beans. Clay
land 18 most often injured by crop
ping with oats, and tho effect on such
soil is to harden it into clods. Where
land has been made poor by oat grow
ing one of the best ways to restore it
is to plow in the fall and sow a crop
of peas with whatever fertilizer can be
got. Peas make more shade for the
ground, and they will get much of the
plant food they need from the air.
Peas are besides a better grain to seed
with clover thuuiuthe oat. We mean,
of course, peas sown broadcast and
covering tho whole surface of the
ground. American Cnltivator.
BAISISO P0TATO11S FROM SEED,
To produce a strong, vigorous po
tato with good eating nnd keeping
qualities, wo miiHt select for its parents
varieties possessing these qualities;
and by judicious crossing we may ex
pect, to some extent, to fix iu tho new
variety, some at least of the qualities
wo decire to produce. The seed balls
should be gathered early in the full,
laid in the sun a few days, and then
squeezed out info water. The seeds
will soon rise to the top, when they
have to be skiuned off and placed ou
paper or cloth to dry. After drying
thoroughly in the sun, or a warm, dry
room for about forty-tight hours, the
soedn nre to be put iu paper bags to
keep until wanted.
Karly in the spring they may be
sown thinly in rows iu a hot-bed, or
later in the open ground. When two
to three weeks old the seedlings have
to be pricked out singly into carefully
prepared liilln, which Hliimld be about
two feet til tut iu rows three feet apart.
A small iiiiiubei ud stake has to be put
in each hill, und during the growing
Milton di tuileil notes should be tilkell

real villus of a variety, as many of
those which npp r prinni.iing nl lirst
run out ciitit'eiv, and t-uinelinies those
v hieh v.e were tennited to discard the
first few years) may prove our very
best vbrieties. At dicing time select
only a lew of the largest ntlil best
foriuu 1 tubers of each kind, placing
th!u int'i carefully nmrked boc,
eueli kind by itself, and in planting
use only ?'ie liryest siM'iuien for

good culture luo tu en given, probably
one or more vnriet'es out of a hundred
eeeu!uiys will bu fcuinl that will pay
for all tho labor and caro given thorn.
Vet it should bo borne in mind that
little or nothing is gained in securing
a now variety unless it is in some
points better tlmu in any of tho old
kinds. American Agriculturist.
nOW TO RAVK KXrESSE.
The ability to use tools nnd to do
work neatly has a strong tendency to
imi'rovo a man's taste iu keoiiinp; his
buildings, fences and machinery in
good repair. Of course it is easy to go
to an extreme in this regard and at
tempt to do work thot should rightly
be dono by a regular mechanic, or to
go to the other extremo and be con
tinually running to the shop or forthe
mechanic to do what could in many
cases bo readily done by the far rife r nt
a considerable saving. There nre
times when to bo obliged to stop the
work of the form anil go several miles
to town to get a small job of repairing
done would entail a considerable loss.
At other times when not interfering with
the farm work it would be more econo
mical to hire the work done than to
take yonr own time.
Becanso of yonr ability to do nearly
or quite all kinds of small repairing it
does not by any means imply that you
should always do it or that you cau al
ways save money by doing it. The con
ditions should always be considered.
One farmer may bo bo situated that it
will bo best to do everything himself.
Another will find it more economical
to depend upon having the greater
part of this kind of work done. But
tho knowledge of how to do work will
not be lost even if not used at every
opportunity.
On many farms, after the wheat,
oats and hay are harvested, there is a
short season that can be spared to a
good advantage in fixing up the farm.
The farmer himself may not be able to
hire mechanical help, but if he can do
this kind of work himself he can pro
vide shelter for his stock, his feed and
his machinery at a much less cost thau
if obliged to depend entirely upon
hired help. He may also be able to
paint his house, Lis wagon or ma
chinery, do necessary repairing about
the building that will help preserve
and make it more comfortable when
otherwise it would be necessary to let
go. In many cases if work of this
kind cart be done in good season con
siderable saving can be made over what
might be the cost if obliged to wait
some time.
Keeping everything neat and. trim
about the farm not only adds to its ap
pearance but increases its value, gives
the farmer a better reputation among
his neighbors and is really the most
economical, but in many cases the
farmer cannot have the work done,
nnd not being a mechanical genius
himself, it is left undone.
When the farmer can do reasonably
fair work a small outfit of neoessary
tools will be found a profitable invest
ment. This should also include three
or four paint brushes and oil, and
either Spanish brown or Venetian red
for painting tools and implements.
The amount, or rather number, of
tools a farmer should own can best be
determined by his ability to use them.
Money invested in tools that are not
used is so much dead capital. A vise,
drill, set of bits and brace, set of
augers, Bet of saws aud planes, a shoe
maker's outfit and harnessmaker's out
fit, such as are advertised, with rivets
and copper wire, a supply of nails and
bolts, will enable the farmer to do a
very considerable amount of work fix
ing up and keeping up buildings and
machinery. This implies a tool house,
not only to keep the tools but to work
in, as iu this way many little jobs of
repairing may be done on rainy days,
Nebraska Farmer.
FARM AMD GARDEN NOTES.
Give your stock a variety of food.
Bkim-milk is excellent tood for pigs.
The stable fly is a bloodthirsty pest.
As a rule, small eaters make small

Keep milk m far from the stable as
possible.
An unproductive horse is a very ex

Grass is nature's great remody for
most of the ills to which horseflesh is
heir.
In some sections of the country
there is a constant deniund for good
mules.
Experienced fruit growers say that
mixed orchards bear better than those
containing only one variety.
A little oatmeal added to the drink
ing water of working horses will give
them strength as well as refreshment
in hot weather.
Pew eggs ore laid by hens which are
too fut, uud, therefore, it is to the
poultry man's interest to see that his
fowls do not get into thut state.
Give a horse plenty of air aud light,
plenty of exercise, plenty of the right
kind of food uud water, aud ho will
almost ulwuys be in good condition.
If your poultry, old or young, go
moping around or look iu any way the
bust sickly, look for liee. Ten
ehatices to one you will find this the
cause.

In preparing ponltry for cooking
here are a few rules to follow : Chick
ens, ducks, capons and turkeys should
be killed at least twenty-four hours
beforo using. When well picked, singe
by removing Uio stove cover and put
ting some paper in. Pats tho bird
over the rlnme, taking care not to
blacken or burn it. Cut the neck off
as near the body as possible. Cut the
joint; with yonr forefinger loosen the
crop and take it out. Cut a slip un
der the rump large enough to run the
band into the bodv. Put the haud in
carefully to loosen the contents of the
body and stomach in every direction
so that all may be drawn out in one
mass. Pour warm water through the
bird and wipe ont with a towel. Cut
the gall from the liver, then throw the
liver into cold water. Scald and skin
the feet ; put gizzard, heart, feet, and
neck in a pint or more water, with a
little onion. Let them stew slowly
until reducod one-half. All poultry
needs just this treatment. New York

DBtHKlHO TO KIEV WABM.
Nothing is more common than for men to
take a drink now nnd then. In cold weather
' "to warm them up," as they say. And no
doubt they would be very much surprised If
told that the drink does not do the least bit
of gotid towards keeping them warm. Yet
this Is true, aud In fact, so far as warming
them Is concerned, It does far mora harm
than good. This Is not merely "talk," orths
exaggeration of temperance fanatics. It Is
the verdict of science, arrived, at bv distin
guished scientific men, after calm, cold and
unprejudiced Investigation. Their object
was simply to find out the actual facts In the
matter, and their studies and examination
lonve no room for doubt.
The man who drinks a hot whisky, a "torn

cold weather, does fool wnrm for a few min
utes. But very soon this glow of delicious
warmth passes off, the temperature of his
body Is lowered thnt Is, he becomes colder
and if ho does net feel colder (as is some
times the case), It Is simply because t hod rink
has dulled his feelings. It you give him a
knock, or if he bruises his hand, or If he
pricks his finger, he will not feel the hurt so
much as if he were absolutely sober, and in
the same way be does not knowthnt thetem-
fiernture of his body has fallen und that there
s really not so much warmth In him as be
fore. We do not speak here ot the case of a man
who Is dead-drunk he feels nothing at ail
but of the man who has taken two or three
drinks to keep hiin warm.
From au article In the Irish Ecclesiastical
Ileoord we gather the following sclentlllo
testimony ou this subject i
Dr. Dnvls, of Chicago, tells us that from
extensive experiments made by him in 1H50,
he found that when alcohol is taken Into the
system, "tho temperature of the body begins
to fall within half nn hour, and continues to
decrease from two to three hours. The ex
tent and duration of reduction was in direct
proportion to tho amount of alcohol taken."
Professor JSiux tried experiments on the
lower animals, with the result that he found
there was a full of between four and five de
grees after a fatal dose had been adminis
tered. "It is a fallacy," says Kir William Gull, the
famous English doctor, "to sy that a man
ought to take a gloss of brandy on a cold
morning to keep him warm. You had bat
ter give a man lood.''
Dr. Burton says that "ft is quite a delus
ion to Imagine that alcohol causes warmth,
it lowers the temperature of the whole
body."
We can point to other practical proofs of
this important point. During tho Itusslan
campaign of 1S12, so fatal to tho interests of
France, it was found that almost all tho sol
diers who usct alcohol sunk under the cold
and fatigue, while only very few atataluen
fell victims to tliese rigors. The Esquimaux,
Urecnluuders, I.npluuders, aud other inhabi
tants ot tho coldest countries In the world,
testify thnt alcohol would unlit them for en
during their severe climate. The soldiers in
the liusslan army, when on the march In
cohl woutber, not only use no ardent spirits,
but no man who tins been lately drinking iu
allowed to aiconipnuy them, as his drunken
dulmucli would render him quite unfit to
withstand the cold. The same strict utisti
nenoe hns linen found by practlcut experi
ence in the Arctic expeditions to be the best
preventive nguiust cold.
Here ut home it is knowu flint old and ex
perienced drivers of stages, who sit on tho
box for hours iu the coldest weather, are in
the habit of drinking bot colToe, which keeps
them much warmer thau any lorm of alco
holic drink.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Frogs Fond of Wasps.
As yon and your readers Boom in
terested in odds and ends of natural
history, I send yon ono which may bo
worth publishing, writes R. E. Itart
lett. Home timo ago I discovered ac
cidentally that frogs aro voracious
caters of wasps. I have in my garden
a tank for watering and an inland of
rock-work, which is a fnvorito haunt
of tho frogs. The wasps just now aro
carrying on a raid against my fruit, nnd
when I wish to gratify my rcvongo
and my frogs, I catch a marauder be
tween a post card and nu tuverted wiuo
glass, carry him off to the tank, wet
his wings to prevent his flying, and
sot him ou the rock-work before tho
frogs. After a moment's pause, a frog
advances and iu au instant the wasp
has disappeared, drawn into the frog's
mouth by a single dart of his long
tougne. Occasionally the wasp reap
pears, wholly or partially, having
made it unpleasant for the frog ; but
ho is nbnost always swallowed in the
cud. Vsually convulsive movements
may lie noticed in the frog's throat and
body, as though tho process of degluti
tion were not quite easy ; but that they
like the diet is evidont from tho fact
that u siuglo smallish frog haB been
known to take throe wasps tine after
another. Indeed, it is remarkable
what very small frogs, quite infants,
will swallow a wasp with avidity. This
afternoon a tiny frog swallowed a full
grown wasp, when a big relative wont
for him quite savagely, like a big
schoolboy thrashing a small ono for
presuming to be helped before him.

Egypt Has Banished the Bastinado.
A newspaper man has been inter
viewing Zoulrlcar Ibrahim Bey, a judge
of tho criminal courts of Alexandria,
Egypt, on tho administration of jus
tice iu that country. Tho judge wns
educated in tho French Military School
at.Ht. Cyr, and speaks French like a
Parisian, When asked whether tho
bastiuado was still inflicted in the po
lice courts of Egypt he denied it em
phatically, and said that any police
man of that land who dared to strike a
citizen would be punished very se
verely. "It is expressly prohibited,"
he said. "Our polioe are organized to
prevent violence, and not to have re
course to it. And in that connection
I am glad to learn that tho New York
police are prohibited the use of the
club. The days of tho old barbaric
punishments have long gono by, and
for many years wo liavo been governed
by the code Napoleon. Our punish
ments are simply fine aud imprison
ment for ordinary offenses, the gal
leys, where tho convicts work in chain
gangs, for gTaver crimes, aud the cap
ital penalty for murder, which, how
ever, is more rarely iullicted year
