Tho sour milk will quickly curdle in the stomach and cause indi gestion. It is this way of feeding a oalf that makes so many poor cows, for an animal that has been stunted in its early growth will never rocover tho loss afterward. Skimmed milk, if sweet, is good for any calf, bnt it should bo warmed to eighty or ninety degrees, as it is most digestible at that temperature. Fat is not so much required for a young calf. Muscular growth is needed more than fat, anil thus mnkes a better cow than if the food made a fat animal. It is quite safe to give a month-old oalf a light ration of ground oats and com meal, a few ounces at first, gradually increas ing. Now York Times. FATTENING BHF.BP. When tho hog has stopped putting on flesh or fat he must be disposed of, no matter what the market, for after that period all food given is practi cally wanted. But the case is different with sheep. After reaching their raasinmm weight and condition as to flesh that will eat but little, and this is amply paid for in tho increase in quantity and quality of wool. Be sides prices of mutton sheep are al ways better after tho weather begins to get warm, tjs mutton is more of a hot than cold weather food. Aain, tho market will pay more for nicely Bhorn and well handled wool than tho butchers will ; and wool can be more cheaply freighted when packod in sacks than when on tbe sheep's back. Another consideration is shorn sheep, if well fattened, will sell for more than nnshorn, for tho former can be seen by the buyer at a glance, whilo the latter must be carefully inspected, one by one, and lastly, shorn sheep will ship more comfortably and be in bet ter condition when reaching market than unshorn. These conditions make all winter feeding most desirable. Farm, Stock and Home. BEE9 AyD FRrrr. The business .'of the horticulturist and that of the apiculturist are each a necessary adjunct of the other, says a lady writer. The beekeeper may pay a wonderful sum for the best bees in the world, may have them in the best of hives with movable frames, queen excluding honey boards, etc., eto. ; above the brood nest he may have the whitest of section boxes, every one containing a foundation starter ; in fact, havj everything ready to catch the surplus honey when the honey flow shall come if the land be not full of flowers on every hand there will be no surplus for him. Professor Wilson has made an elaborate calcula tion, and concludes that it would re quire 2,500,000 florets like those of the white clover to yield one pound of clover honey. This gives some idea of the vast number of blossoms necessary, as well as the amount of labor represented in every honey comb. The fruit grower may ransack the earth, for new and improved varieties; he may be ns skillful as possible in planting; ho may graft and propagat'3 and hybridize, and yet if the winds are not favorable and the bee does not visit the blossoms in search of pollen or nectar the blossoms will soon wither and fall and never produce the fruit for which the blos soms lived and grew, and for which the horticulturist .had bestowed upon tho tree or plant his labor, fore thought and fostering care. Chicago Times. TUB SITDY OP AORICTLTTBR. Agriculture is the basis of our national progress and prosperity. While this fact is widely recognized, yet the study of this most important of ell callings is not pluced iu the curriculum of the publio schools of the country. Generations of chil dren pass through life without ability to distinguish between wheat and barley when they see it growing. It seems necessary to be born on a farm to be acquainted with even the rudi ments of agriculture. This is all wrong. The studies of the school room should be arranged to meet this oversight. True, men have become famous in many ways, whose sole equipment was furnished in the com mon schools of the country, but these have yet to gradunte a scholar who was ever aided iu his life work as a farmer by the knowledge acquired in thein. The introduction of sound text books on agriculture in rural pub lio schools would lemedy this defect of the system under which they are operated. The children of farmers have as perfect a right to the technical knowledge of their prospective cull ing, as that such knowledgo of things that at best uro but mere accomplish ments shall be taught. The tendency coward the latter is very manifest iu many directions iu the studies of the public schools. It is always better to teach a tew thiugs thut the student may be fully acquainted with them lather thau to overwhelm him with a lot tif ns'lcbs trii-h thut rut:ul liiin iu his liie work. For that reuson ngri culture should form a prouuuint future in tho studies ot rural public echools, becuuso of itn future useful ness to the average atieuduut at them American Dniryraau. - t S'jM'IrU: r'OUAUE CBOP.X W'hfcu extra feed ia nuedod as eu;ly as June thero is nothing better than clover. Tho best time for sowing clover is in July or the early part of August. It may readily follow some forage crop fed off in midsummer. When grown for forage the clover should be Beeded at the rate of twenty pounds to tho acre, and will produce ten to twelve tons of green for age, worth at least a fourth more than timothy for feeding purposes. Oats and peas, sown at the rato of one and one half bushels of oats and two of peas per acre, will afford excel lent forage for midsummer. Tho pens should either bo plowed into the length of four or five inches or else the seod bo well covered by nse of a wheelbarrow. The oats should be sown several days after tho poas and lightly harrowed in. Uy sowing three or four small areas one week apart, starting as enrly in the spring as pos sible, this crop will supply fresh, nutritious forage for about a month, beginning with the last week in June ; while if the wholo is sown at ono time part of the fodder becomes dry and woody before it can be ntilizod. On fertile sods a second crop of clover should be available by the first of August and will afford the best of feed for ten davs or two weeks at this period of the summer. With most farmers corn is tho great forage crop for late summer, and early rail feeding. Yhiloitis doubtful if there is any crop that will produce a larger amount of food material per acre, there are a number of legumin ous crops that can bo grown with less drain upon the soil and will afford forago of much higher nutritive value pouud for pound. In Southern New England and as far north as Central New York, tho cow pea can be easily grown on warm, light soils, while the soja bean affords a large amount of excellent forage and can be grown in nearly all parts of New England. These crops will afford forago from about the middlo of August till the killing frosts come. Lata in September it is sometimes found necessary to use rowen from the mowing field and in this case the more clover thero is in it the bettor. Grasses when young and tonder are more nitro genous than in the larger stages of growth, and hence rowen affords a much better food than tho full grown grasses. lor a late full feed there is no crop yet in nse equal to barley and peas. This crop cau be sown the first part of August on the clover ground, or it may follow the oats and peas. Two bushels of peas and one of barley make a good mixture. Both of these plants withstand frosts well and make excel-' lent growth in cool weather. New England Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Gi-o the peas a light, rich soil. Red raspberries should not be given Jeep cultivation. Do not forget parsley seed. A small package will yield enough to nse all the year. Many are discarding the pole lima, and taking up the bush lima bean as a specialty. Young bees are valuable in the spring, and none should be allowed to die from carelessness. Sow celery seod early. It is esti mated that one ounce of seed will pro duce about 2500 plants. Beeswax will be darkened if molted in an iron vessel. It is better to use brass or copper vessels. The best shipping crates for honey are of a single tier, and hold from twelve to twenty-four pounds. Basswood is light, white, and free from gummiuess. Nothing bo far has been found to equal it for making pound sections. The butter dryer is the self-describ ing name of a newly invented machine that seems to be giving great satisfac tion in England. Never set plants of a poor quality. Poor seed will muke a failure, but only for a single year, while poor plants last over many seasons. All fruit plants, including trees. should have a generous supply of fine, light-colored, fibrous roots, in order to be of a vigorous and healthy growth. For the potato crop sulphate ii thought to be muuh better than muri ate of potash, for it gives a greatei yield and improves the quality in a higher degree. The cucumber should not be set in open grouud until about the middle of May or nntil the weather settles, as it is a very tender auuual. Plant in June or July if you waut them for pienles. Do not plant potatoes on hard, poorly plowed soil, for the crop will be poor, no matter how thorough the cultivation or how favorable other con ditions if the soil is not mellowed deep enough. Open the hives only when it is warm enough for the bees to fly, and then da uot leave open any longer than neces sary. The brood may be chilled, and us there is no honey to be gathered, the bees may take to robbing. Apiarists cannot be too particulai about packing. It is stated that dis honesty hero is a common as among horticulturists, and that fine white combs, are frequently found noxt to the glass, aud the durk iu the centre of the cruto. If about to go into small fruit rais ing conduct it in a clean aud aourute manner, with good land, and success is sure. Raspberry audcurrant bushes should be plauted five feet apart each way to allow room for a horse and cultivator. A liberal application of salt to your asparagus bed this spring will aid in keeping the soil moist next summer, as well as killing out tho weeds, but it will not take the place of manure or iither kinds of fertilizers.

H. Where Mr. Manaon is known "bis word is as rood as bis bond." In a recent lettw to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf falo, N. Y., Mr. Manson says : "Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellet are the best pills I ever took for the liver. All my friends say tbey do them tbe most good." This opinion is shared by every one who once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills, which are to be found in all medicine stores. Tbe LT. 8. Inspector of Immigration at Buf falo, N. Y., writes of them as follows: "From early childhood I have suffered from a sluggish liver, with all the disorders accompanying such a condition. Doctors' prescriptions and patent medicines I bave used in abundance ; they only afforded tem porary relief. I was recommended to try Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I did so, tak ing two at night and one after dinner every day for two weeks. I have reduoed the dose to on ' Pellet every day for two months. I have in six months increased in solid flesh tuenf v-two pounds. I am in better health than I bav been since childhood. Drowsi ness and unpleasant feelings after meals have completely disappeared." Assist nature a little now and then with a gentle laxative, or, if need be, with a more searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby removing offending matter from the stom ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo rating tbe liver and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bow els, they would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctors1 services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases. if"-": ''".'iT1' sit-i.-xs firvns-w lr" wain t usmei j-.speeiaiiy lor fanners, Miners, 1!.

Porcelain is, as everyone knows, of many degrees of hardness, and tho greater or less hardncas of a particular kiud of porcelain depends mainly upon tho degree of heat required to ftiso rro ingredients of which it is composed. The porcolain used for artificial teeth consists chiefly of a very fine kaolin, such as that used by the Chineso cerumio artists, with fel spar for the enamel. The teeth, with platinum pins inserted in them, are exposed to a degree of heat so high as to melt any metal less fusible than platinum, and this baking brings them to a state of hardness Biiflloient to resist the wear and tear incident to tho work they havo to perform. Courier-Journal That, of all known sgente to aocomptlaa this purjwse, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet are unequaled, is proven by tho fact that one used, lhyar alwayt tit favor. Their sec ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and rrgufur, not to further constipate, as Is the case with other pills. Hence, their great IKipularity with suiferers from habitual cou stipalion, piles, and indigestion. , Tbe " Pleasant Pellets " are far more effec tive In arousing the liver to action than "blus pills," calomel, or other mercurial prepara tions, and have the further merit of being purely vegetable and perfectly harmless In any condition nf tbe system ; no particular oare is required while usmg them. Composed of tho choicest, concentrated vegetable extracts, their cost is much mors than ia that of other pills found in the mar ket, yot from forty to forty-four "Pellet' are put up in each sealed glass vial, as sold through druggists, and can be had at the price of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills. Dr. Pierce pride himself on having been first to introduce a Little Liver Pill to the American people. . Many have imitated them, but none have approached bis " Pleasant Pal let " in excellence. For all laxative and cathartic purposes the " Pleasant Pellets " are infinitely sup, rior to ail " mineral waters," sedlits pow ders, " salt," castor oil, fruit syrups (so called), laxative " toes," and the many other purgative compounds sold in various" forms. Put up iu glass vials, sealed, therefore always fresh aud reliable. One little " Pel lot " is laxative, two gently cathartic. As a " dinner pill," to promote digestion,' take one each day after dinner. To relieve distress from over eating, nothing equals them. They are tiny, bugar-coeted, antt bilious rranulu, scarcely larger than mus tard seeds. Every child want thein. Then, after they are token, instead of dis turbing aud shocking the system, they act in a mild, and natural way. There is no re action afterward. Their help leuta. Accept no substitute recommonilod to be " just as good." They may bo letlrr for tha dealer, because of paying him a better profit, but he is not the one who needs holp. jrf 1 1 ill
