This disease is duo to disorder of

that is to say, that this error in the

tion of tho system that tho germ of
tho disoaso has every favorable oppor
tunity for its development, and as
theso germs nro abundantly distributed
in the atmosphere, tho disease ap
pears wherever theso conditions ex

the disease tho food should bo of tho
right kind, not all grain, or ono
siuglo grain, but grain of mixed kinds,
mostly oats and wheat, and tho least
of corn, with somo animal matter,
and plenty of fresh, green, vegetable
food. Tho water, cspoeinlly, should
bo pure and fresh. Tho most oOeo-

rnnswo evergreen hedges.
When evergreen plants nro first
placed in tho hedgo row they should
receive a light pruning, or enough to
give something liko tho form intended
for the future hedge. Trune off the
leading shoots to an even height, and
straighten tho sides, for all this clip
ping will be of benefit to tho newly set
plants. In our opinion, ono pruning
in a season is as much as evergreens
will bear in our hot, dry climato.
This annual pruning should always bo
done in early spring, before the now
growth of tho season commences, then
all the buds remaining will statt evenly
and bo in condition to resist tho heat
of summer. Tho best form for ever
green hedges is an oval brought to a
sharp point at tho top, for if loft
broad and flnt at tho top, snows aro
suro to lodge on it and crush and
break down many of tho plants.
Where there nro no snows in the
winter or very light flurries, other
forms of hedges may bo admissible,
although the oval or egg-shapo is
really tho most bonutiful anywhere.

OS ItAtSTWG CALVES.
Tho finest calvos are produoed by
allowing them to got the food from
their mothers in tho natural way, but
thoro is httlo to prove that thoso
calvos make better cows than thoso
raised on skim milk and less expensive
foods, writes W. Q. Whitehead, of
Ohio, to tho American Agriculturist.
If tho cow is quiet, leavo tho oalf with
her for two days. If sho is oxoitablo
ond frets for her calf when taken away,
tho sooner thoy aro separated tho
better for both. Put tho calf in a
warm dry place, whero it cannot bo
seen or hoard by tho mother. If i,t
has suckled give it two pints of warm
milk f'oiu a bottlo. In twelvo hours
tnko a pail of milk, freshly drawn from
its mother, and teach tho calf to drink
by letting it suck the fingers. As soon
as it begiusto relish tho food gradually
withdraw tho fingers from its mouth
until it drinks, keeping tho hand on
its nose. Then tako tho hand away
and tho calf quickly learns that its
food is in the pail and not in tho hand.
A calf will learn in from ono to four
lessons according to its intelligence
Scarcely nny two calves will do
equally well ou tho same amount of
food. Tako two of tho samo breed
ono will thrive on five quarts at a feed
whilo tho other cannot digest mora
than half as much. Expcrienoo will
toach the amount each should have.
When this is learned, measure eaoh
calPs ration and avoid sudden changes
in amount. When two weeks old be
gin to gradually change tho ration
from whole milkjto t kimjtnilk. At tho
samo timo add a little shellod corn and
wheat brau. Stick a bunch of flno
mixed hay where tho calf can reach it
and soo how soon it will learn to eat it.
The bran, corn and hay aro noces
6ary to restore tho skim milk to tho
nutritive ratio of wholo milk. Tho
nutritivo ratio of milk is ono of ilosh
and tissue-forming to four of heat
producing properties. Fat nnd sugar
are tho principal heat-producing ele
ments in milk. Theso tiro taken oil
with tho cream, leaving skim milk a
narrower or colder ration than nature
provided. To this narrow ration many
add oil meal with a nutritive ratio of
l:lj, making a very cold ration. Is
it any wonder" that so many calves
die of scours when robbed in this way
of tho heut-produciug elements abso
lutely necessary to life?
Tho nutritive ratio of wheat bran is
tho same as that of milk, whilo thoso
of corn and hay aro enough wider to
restore skim milk to the'rutio of wholo
milk. The calf will soon leara to cat
the corn and brau dry from a trouah
and pick tho hay from a manger.
When a month old give no more wholo
milk. It will grow well on its new
ration. Warm all it drinks to a tem
perature of ninety dogrees F. Gradu
ally increase the other feed as soon as
the calf has learned to eat it and it
will not hurt to continue warming its
drink until spriug pasture comes. With
a feed of brau onco a day and good
pasture let it grow until winter comas
aaiu. Feed it a buluuced ration in
winter and good grasj iu suiu-uer un
til it becomes a cow.

The baneful effects of Intemis-rnnee, which
to-day nre so rife all through the laud, steal
upon ils victims moro Insidiously perhaps
through tho prevalent practice of fronting
than through any other channel. To Invito
a nrnn to tako a drink nt one's expense Is the
order of tho e'nv. To put him thereby under
the Implicit obligation of returning the same
or ot making him find uncomfortable until
he has balanced in some way tho kindness
which he thinks he has received is an essen
tial consequence, which to him is very dis
honorable to neglect oi shirk.
T his custom and its consequences wrap so
ciety as a cloud. In it men move, and
through tt the chief work of hnrm ami of tho
disintegration of character is accomplished.
In thelower state of society tt snturntostho
very language that Is spoken. It pervades
the very air that Is breathed. It shapes tho
sentiment most fnHpiently formed at home
and abroad. Multitudes ot children daily1
grow accustomed to it, and youths are fast
falling victims to its snares.
Tako nny man who hns found himself!
ehnined by tho habit, tho unquenchable,
habit for drink thnt is tearing his very vitals'
to bo appeased, nnd ask him how this going,
the path of self-destruction began, and he
will tell you, if he speaks carefully and ex
actly. that it was not love of the liquor, that
it was not tho need ho felt for it, but thnt It
was tho personal pressure of a custom,
brought to bear upon him by the false obll-j
gallon under which ho felt himself plaocd to
accept tho "treat" or the singular nnd un-j
manly position iu which he was put byrofus-'
ing to accept the same.
Whatever or wherever may hnvo been tho
origin of this custom of treating, now so
prevalent In our country, whether it be from
tho old medieval Idea of hospitality carried
to nbuse or a practice introduced from a
foreign land.it matters not to our subject,
but It has waxed strong with our busy,
nurrying, American people. ,
The American scandal, the "saloon," Is at
once its feeder and Its propagator. These
two dreadful fostering sores on our social
nnd liody politic, the custom of treating nnd
the saloon, must be eradicated or turned into
purer channels, whero they may la) cleansed
from such dire habiliments as aro hastening
thousands upon thousands to eternal ruin.
Tho force of this custom, combined with the
shrewdni-ss nnd desire to gain on tho part of
the llquor-denler, and tho studied adultera
tion of intoxicants, themselves Intended to

privately and publicly of tho same, Is tho

Secretary IIcrNrt, of the Navy Department,
wisely decides that drunkenness will not Ih
tolerated In tho Narv, and that no olllcor
either wheu on or off duty shall become
intoxicated, ltis ruling is most sensible
uud practical, uud deserves to bo quoted
literally:
"Hoards of examination should clearly un
derstand that drunkenness at any time and
under any circumstances Is inhibited by the
law and the r.-galatlous of the Navy.
"It is not true, as was contended In this
ease, that the (iovernmeut is not concerned
about tho habits of a naval officer in his
home, in his club, or at tho house of a frleud.
Tho time has passed for considering drunk
enness on convival occasions a vico Iu which
naval olllcera can indulge with Impunity.
The habit of drunkouuesson duty or oil duty
is one that, liko other habits, seizes upou
nud eventually controls the victim. Drunk
enness ou duty Is properly recognized lu tho
regulations as a moro heinous oflcnso thun
wheu olf duty, but a commanding olllcer nt
sea Is practicully always ou duty, and he
certainly has no hours iu which he could in
dulge this habit. Nor is it to be permitted,
oil her ou or olT duty, that a naval olllcer any
where; shall become) intoxicated. It un
doubtedly is u sufticient ground for the re
fusal or promotion if it shall appear that an
olllcer is in tin; habit of becoming intoxicated
at auy time or uuder any circumstances."

This incident is scut to us by a railroad

Nuperintendent paid uo attention to this and
permitted him to go ou his usual daily runs.

and left his engino in the proier place, then

denly ho sprang on a waiting engino and
started duwu the road after the train. The

freak, and wired to turn tho switch off from
tho main lino at a distant station. This was
done just in time to avert dashing iuto the
rear of the passenger train. The engine was
ditched, aud the engineer escaped unhurt
aud was taken to an asylum with acute
lunula, where he is still ojnilned. A very
serious accident was narrowly averted, and
