The Huron Expositor, 1877-07-06, Page 677' THE,4URON EXPOSITOR. ,*.milmwmammwmgmuni Isei30 Vigorous Than Their Fath- ers. A New Hampehire correspondent of the Manchester Mi77014 expresses his views on the deserted fann question thus bluntl: "11' farms have run down the people who occupy them are a long way ahead in the race' We have got on our farms to -day a class of people who can cipher through the algebra, play the piano, and boast of an acquaintance with the fine arts, but they can't work. They have got fine minds, but their bodies are sickly, puny, and weak, To talk the matter plainly, we have bred the bone and muscle out of our families until we have got a kind. of human Jerseys, fine - boned, mild -eyed, and nice to look at, and pet, and put on exhibition, but so tender and. weak that they are fit neith- er for our climate, our work, nor our cir- cumstances. Our fathers worked 12 or 14 hours a day, and never thought of getting tired. We are used up when we have worked four hours. Oar mothers made butter and cheese, fed the pigs and chickens, did the milking, rallied a dozen children, made the clothing for the fam- ily, and when a shower was coming could take or load hay. Our wives want a maid to tend the baby and another to do the housework, a boy to do the chores, and if we keep more than one cow a cheese factory to prevent the milk from spoiling. It is safe to say that ten far- • mers' wives to -day cannot do as much hard work as would two 50 years ago. echool. in Do As a farming people we are played out.

It is a great pity that such men are ever allowed to use a team at all. I heard a neighbor once say, "1 can work raYdoxen all day and not tire them as much as the boys will in an hour." Which was no 'doubt true„ for I have seen him work them all day and not strike them once, or speak to them louder than I now do to you. His boys were very good boys,.and no worse than nearly all the others in the same neighborhood, but they lacked his good judgment and experience. Among all the institutions for the instruction of boys, none is needed more than one where boys could go and learn to 'use and feed a team properly. Such a echool would be a good place for some men to go.—Silas Ropkins, in Vermont Farmer. ._ How a Mammoth Calf Was Fed: The Massachusetts Plowman gives the following information about a very large calf raised by F. F. Fisk, Mast Ya, dN. H.: ! e1 ' The calf commenced his career on thlast day of February', 1876, weighing at irth 112 pounds. At one month'old it d gained 48 pounds. This and ,an- other calf owned by Mr.10. A. Farnham, of Concord, N. 11., were selected for making a pair of oxen, and were sent to the farm of F. F. & W. F. Firk to be raised. They were fecl alike, till it was ascertained that they would never be fitted to work together as oxen, and so the smaller one was slaughtered for veal at 81 months old, weighing, dressed, 522 pounds. The other was kept till he was a year old, lacking. one day. He then weighed, alive 1,200 pounds, and dress- ed 902 pounds, the meat weighing 748 ancl the hide and tallow 154 pounds. Mr. Fisk writes us thatt after the calf was a few days old, it -was fecleskimined milk three times a day, four quarts at a meal; that its maximum feed le ,as 18 quarts of skimmed milk at three feed- ings, with four quart i wheat shorts, two quarts beets, and what hay or eorn ' fodder he would eat, preferring corn - fodder to the best hay. No geain, - however, was fed during the first seven months." i An Effective Scarecrow.' The best scarecrow is a sUspeeded looking-gLass.

The subject of carpets and disease is one I am often troubled about, they are so continually quite overlooked in clean - hag rooms where contagious diseases ha ve been, and are aoubtless the means of carrying disease to others. I use damp corn- meal and salt. To sweep a carpet thormigh. ly with a broom, take a pint of meal and &half pint of salt and moisten them to- gether with just water enough to keep the meal from flying about, not wet enough to stick to the carpet, sprinkle pretty thickly on one side of the reom and sweep straight across; add a little more meal as the dust begins to fly— Tying up t little fellow s and went to L it impossible determined to he stowed aw terranean frui He was soon dergoing no e tain,was set t swabbing the and tarring d ery calm was copper.

Manifestations of internal force be. neath the 4th's cruet, in the shape of either eartquakes or voleanic eruptions, occur on an average nearly three times a week in greater or less intensity in some part of the globe. Such,I at least, lathe conclusion to be arrived itfrorn the.com- pilation of all the recor ed- phenomena of this kind in the year 1875, lately pre- pared by Prof. Fuchs, and published in a German scientific journal.
