The farmer and dairyman who ex- pecte to continue in the business wili find it to his interest to raise a num- ber of calves each year to replace older cattle that have been disposed of. There is a vast difference in calves. Some are nut worth keeping until maturity. All such should be fatted for veal and disposed of, at five or six weeks old. With a little care, practice and the ex- ercise of good judgment, one can form a pretty good idea of what a calf will be at maturity when only a few days old. If intended for the dairy the calf should be closely examined as to the conformation of the udder and teats. One can see in miniature these import. ant organs, and have a fairly definite idea of what they will be like at maturity. Unless the udder is well shaped and has the appearance of be- ing of good size with four good sized teats properly and widely placed, the calf had bettor be rejected and fed for the butcher, By turning the calf on its back the udder and teats can easily be examined. I have been offered well- bred Jersey calves that I would scaroe- ly have taken as a gift at a yeatl old for the dairy, because their teats were so closely plaoed that it would have been almost impossible la milk them. It was a mistake to raise such a calf; it ought to have been converted into veal. If the calf is intended for veal, it can take its mi•ik from the cow in a natural way, or the cow can be milk- ed and the milk given the calf to drink; but this is not usually considered as good as letting the calf take it direct from the cow, for the reason that it will drink too fast, and not tying pro- perly mixed with saliva as it is swal- lowed, the calf is more liable to have indigestion and stomach and bowel trouble. This objection might be ob- vlited by using a patent calf feeder, from which the calf is obliged to take its milk more slowly. The calf should not remain with the cow longer than the firs( day of its life. Some stock- men prefer to take it from her as soon as dropped. In this way she will not become ao much attached to it and will not worry over its absence. The cow should be' milked and the calf fed soon, after its appearance. It must at first have its own mo; her's milk. The milk of another cow that has been fresh for some time will not answer. The fresh milk from a fresh cow is much richer in albumen thin from the same cow later, and is nature's special prepara- tion for the new-born calf. The young- er the calf is taught to drink, the easier it will be. As soon as it gets hungry, which is ueua Ily ve'•y soon, it has a tendency to suck anything it can get hold. of. Wi.h an assistant to held the pail, and the use of the finger, only a few lesson,' are required to teach it to drink Iht milk readily from a pail. Patience and perseverance are all that are necessary except the milk and the calf. The first week or ten days, the calf shout 1 hive ful milk; the amount will depend somewh it upon I he size and breed of the calf. While four pounds at a feed would be enough for a delicate little Jersey six or eight might not be too much for a larger or more robust Holstein or Sbortho n. After about ten days, skim milk e•in gradually bo substituted for the whole milk, doing so al the rata of a pound per day, until all skim milk Is fed. By making the change gradu- ally, no evil effects will be noticed, When beginning the use of skim mirk instead of whole milk is a good time to begin the use of a little meal of some kind in the milk. Middl'n e, oil meat and a mixture of oats, wheat and corn, equal ports ground together, are all good. These will he better if scald- ed before being added to the milk, By beginn ne, wi,h a small quantity, say a tablespoonful, and increasing gradu- ally no di`ficully need be feared f.om scours. When on t wishes to raise cal - 1 ves on skim mirk for veal, something must be added to the milk to reprice the butter fat extracted. Wh n in- tended for I he butcher at an early age, larger quantities of co nmeal can he fed thin oth'rwise, the object in grow. ing calves for the dairy being to en- courage the grow,h of bone and muscle rather than fat. Twice per day is as often eel he calf need he fed, at any age. Te feed oftener is an unnecessary waste of time and labor, but it should he fed at regular hours. This is im- portant as „well as the amount of its feed When once established, the quantity of its feed should not be varied abruptly withou' gond reasons, After a calf is several weeps old it will begin to eat a little hey, and a little should be given it at each meal -just enough so (hit it will be eaten before the next feeding bine. It will then eat it with a relish, and eat more than if it has it always before it. Bright. clover hey is by far 1he best. for it. if milk is scarce, a good suhstil ute for it can be made by steeping clover hay in hot water, making a strong tea, and pouring it hot over some of the meals, or whet should be still better, a mix- ture of the meals before mentioned. Various prepared meals are sold for the feeding of calves, hat are claimed to be a perfect substitute for milk. A farmer can by mixing about 50 per cent oil meal, 20 per cent each of ground corn and oats, and 10 per cent of middlings, have a meal that will .be just as good at much less cost. CIDER MAKING. One of the mostreadily available ways of utilizing unmerchantable ap- ples is to turn them into cider. When erops are at their best a very large portion of the fruit ought never to go onto the market as such. It brings no price itself and only serves to create an appearance of abundance which depresses the price that would 'other- wise be received for good fruit. In many apple growing slates the un- merchantable partof the crop in good years is placed at as high as 40 per cent. The manufacture of cider in any small way is, however, unprofitable commercially. Exact experiment bas shown that with even the best hand grinders and presses, only two gallons of cider is obtained from an average bushel of apples, as against four gal- lons when a "medium-sized custom grinder and press, run by an eight - horse power engine, is used. Counting unmerchantable apples to be worth 8 cents a bushel it would cost to make the cider, 0 cents per gallon by the former method, while by the latter the cost was bat two and three -tenths cents per gallon. At this latter price cider can be very profitably mad to will, when made into jolly by boiling, manufacture vinegar, to make and en- rich jellies and to matte beverages. The manufaoturo of really good cider for consumption as such is as much of an art its wine making, and indeed many of the alleged "wines" imported and sold in this country as the fruit of the vine are really the product of the apple orchard, It is not, however, to the production of eider to be consumed as such, that we would especially direct the attention of the owner of the un -I merchantable apples. The better use for the cider that can be made by one who is not an expert Is the manufac- ture of vinegar, jellies, marmalades, ete. To make pure cider vinegar no matured apples are too poor. The pro - pas of fermentation, if left to itself 18 slow, but by mixing considerable quantities of fermented cider and old vinegar, fermentation can be greatly hastened. in making jelly suitable for table use the addition of a pound of sugar to each five pounds of cider, pro- duces a very cheap, good and palatable jelly at a very low cost. Eleven gal - Ions of eider, as it comes from the press, yield about forty pounds, probably quite as much as any family would oars to put up. Cider is also a good medium in which to boil apples for the manufacture of marmalade, but for this purpose a somewhat better quality of apples is reouired. With apples at 20' cents a bushel marmalade can be Manufactured in the way suggested for less than 2 tents a pound for the Dost of the material. The figures of the manufacturers show that from eighty pounds of sliced fruit, to which eight gallons of cider and thirty-five pounds of sugar hive been added, 116 pounds of marmalade can he made. in making marmalade it Is a great saving to boil the apples and tbon pass them through the colander, instead of par- ing laid coring them. The loss by this method is only one-fifth as much as by paring and coring with a knife, and the work is much more rapidly done. MILKING. Milking should be done with clean dry hands, and as the cow is making the most of the milk while•it is being drawn from the udder, it Is very im- portant that she should be kept as quiet and contented as possible. The milking should be done as rapidly as can be without hurting the cow. The first part of "the milk contains less than 1 per cent of fat, while the last portion has as high as 10 per cent of fat, hence the importance of thorough work in milking. Change of m`..Viers Is detrimental, as well as are all other abrupt changes In feeding or handling the good dairy cow. The materials to form the milk are found in the udder untransformed to milk before milking. But by a sort of harmony existing between the, milker and the cow, and by the stimulus ex- cited upon the glands by the milker, the milk is largely caused to form. . WHEN BURIEDI ALIVE. A lltacWnc to Signal That Fact. and Clve You Air. Count Michael von Karniee Karnicki, the Czar's chamberlain, has invented and perfected an exceedingly clever apparatus for the prevention of that bugbear of the nervous -a living bur- ial. The apparatus was offered as a gift to the French Government, which still has its acceptance under consid- eration. A tube protrudes four feet to four and a half feet above the surface of the grave, and upon the top of it is fixed a small metal box with a spring lid, says the London Mail. To the lower end of the tube, which just enters the upper lid of the coffin, is fixed an India rubber ball, charged pretty fully with air, so that thp•slight- est extra pressure upon it would cause a discharge. of air upward through the tube and thereby release the lid of the box, which springs open upon the slightest. pressure. The opening of the lid automatically raises a small flag and sets an electric bell in mo- tion, which rings immediately over the grave and in the sexton's house, where it also releases a flap which in- dicates the grave over which the box has opened. As will be seen, the slight- est sign of breathing on the part of the buried person, or the slightest motion of the heart will suffice to open the box, by a clever a.nd intricate little mechanism, pumps a sufficient quan- tity of air down into the coffin to pre- serve the buried person from suffo- cation while assistance is arriving. Count Karnicki, it may be added, is firmly convinced that thousands of persons are buried alive every year in a state of lethargy. a POINTS OF A CAT. A good cat -the kind you want to have in the house, if any -will have: A round, stubby pug nose; full, far cheek and upper lip; a,well-developed bu.mp on top of the head between the ears, betokening goad nature • A sleepy cat that purrs a good deal is apt to be playful and good natured. By all means to be avoided is a cat with thin sharp nose, twitching ears. It must be remembered also that a good mouser is not necessarily a gen- tle or desirable pet. Although any good cat will catch mice if she is not overfed, quick, full expressive eyes generally betoken a mousing cat. The greatest mistake -and probably the most common one -in the care of domestic cats is overfeeding, particu- larly too much meat. In the wild life a oat has exercise which enables her to digest food. In the lazy house life the same full feeding leads to stomach troubles and to "fits." The best remedy for this trouble is no food for twenty hours. SOUTH AMERICAN PICKPOCKETS. Practice makes perfect even in wrong -'doing and in the use of what seem to he very awkward means. A writer in the Boston Transcript says: The Gauchos, or dwellers, on the ex- tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are marvellously dexterous with both hands and feet. Many of them have acquired, through long practice, such skill in using their toes instead of firrgera that they can fling the lasso and even pick pockets with them. Some time ago a Frenchman, who was fish- ing in one of the rivers of Buenos Ayres, was warned to bo on his guard against the light fingered natives. He forthwith kept a vigilant watch upon bis companions, but, nevertheless, one day when his attention was closely riveted on his float, a wily Gaucho drew near and delicately inserting his foot, extracted the Frenchman's hooks and other valuables from his pocket.

Use Country is Passing into toe liiitnde of !Military JUriatlrslatlr. There have been thio:ty-six ministries in France during twenty-seven years. Tho average term of a ministry has been nine months. In England during the same period there have been nine ministries and four prime ministers,° The English view of French politics is that these frequent changes of gov- ernment are fatal to the security of the republic. On the other hand it may be said. that there have been six French Presidents in comparison with four English prime ministers, and that the Repub:icans have remained the dominating party in France since the downfall of the Second Empire. Frenchmen do not take as serious a view of the weakness of their minis- tries as foreigners take. They say that the repub.io is a political engine, run at high pressure by an excitable nation, and that a ministerial crisis is a safety -valve. When a ministry is upset, steam is let off and no harm is done. The engine remains, and a competent chief engineer is always at hand to take charge of it. There is, however, a new element in the political experience of France. This is the influence of the army. For ,twenty-seven years ministries have been subject to the control of the legis- lative chambers, and the generals of the army hive been the servants of the state. The friends of republican insti- tutions now fear that ministries will be dependent upon military control and protection. Holding office at the If you cannot get beef, mutton will answer.
