WHERE BABIES WED.
Deplorable Marriage Customs
Among the Hindoos.
A Youthful Bridal Couple In a
Grand Procession,
The wedding season in India is now
at its height, writes Frank 0. Carjamter
in » letter from Bombay. I have seen
wedding processions by the dozen in
every town I have visited, and J have
had a fair chance to note some of the
peculiarities of Hindoo marriages. In
dia has tho youngest bti.lcs and grooms
in the world. Tho grooms I have seen
have in no esse been over fifteen, and
some of the brides were apparently only
just weaned. By (bo Hindoo law a
woman should lie married before she
roaches the age of puberty, which hero
is at twelve. Most girls a c betrothed
before they are six, and in a wcdd.ng
procession at Agra I saw n little bride
groom of perhaps lea years gorgeously
dressed in cloth of gold, and with
heavy gold bracelets on his wrist) and
ank cs, sitting in a wel ling chair with
a little b*by girl of not over two, who
lajMUleep at tho other end of the chair
while the procession moved onward.
Her sleep was heavy an i she had pro
bably been drugged wifh opium.
There was a marriage of two wealthy
families, and the wedding procession
was very grand. At the head of it were
two camels, with trappings of gold,
ridden by bare legged men In red and
gold turbans and wearing clothes of
gold cloth. Behind them came au ele
phant with gorgeous trappings, nnd
twelve Arabian horses followed. Tlieso
horses had gold lirscolot* about their
fore log# JtlSt above the knee, aud there
were great silver hods running from tho
saddle along the buck to tho crupper.
The saddles were of silver cloth, the
stirrups were of silver and the bridle
wa* decoratel with gold. Between
these horses came the wedding chair,
and this was a sort of litter, perhaps six
feet square, containing a bed with cush
ions and pillows, and over it was
■Stretched a canopy of red and gold.
Within it was tho bridal couple, and
tho procassion was accompanied by a
band which played dur.ng the march,
“We Won’t U i Home Till Moruiug.”
It was a native hand, but it had proba
bly had an English instructor, and tills
tuno served as the wedding march.
At Benares I saw a wedding procession
of the poorer classes and 1 had tho pleas
ureof an introduction to the groom. Ho
was a sullen boy of fifteen, who looked
as though ho by no means enjoyed the
oocaviori. He bad a cap of rod cloth,
with long sttiugi of flowers hanging
from its rim to his neck, ‘i and with taw
dry red clothes upon his body. Ho was
rtdiug a white pony, which had gaudy
trappings, and walking with him was a
crowd of barefooted, barelegged, tur
banod man and boy), one of whom lod
the horse, 'I'hew were bis relatives.
Just back of them, and apparcnt.lv hav
ing no connection with the pony-riding
groom, was a party of men carrying
what looked like n dure-box shut up on
all sides and covered with red cloth.
A elieap cashmere spawl was thrown
over its top, and I wss told that tho
bride was inside. 1 asked lior age, and
was told that sho had lived just eight
years. Behind her came a number of
WOSSte* oxrvvmg k*i- dowry upon their
heads.
One party bore the bride’s bed. It
was a rack or framework of wool about
4 foot long and threo foot wide, with
four rude feet raising it about eighteen
inches from the ground and instead of
wire springs there was a rude network
of cjothesline rope stretched within the
framework. Another woman had n
tray on her head containing the Cook mg
utcnSils, consisting of three or four iron
pots und n rico jar, and the whole outfit
would have been dear at $1.50. 1
talked with the father of the groom.
He told me the bride w ould rotnc and
stay two days with her mothcr-iii law,
then go back home until sho was ten
years of age, when she would como to
live with her husband and bo married
for good. In the ease of baby mar
riages, tdte child is often brought up by
her own parents, and she only comes to
her mother-in-law's house when she has
gotten old enough to le m housekeep
ing, which Is at the age of tew or eleven
years. In some cases, however, sha
goes at once to tlio house of her mother
in-tew, and is brought up by her, often
Vicing made to do the drudgery ot the
house nnd absolutely s uhjeeted to her
husband’s imother.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
a
TRAKSPLANYINU CABBAGES,
A few cabbags* can bo grown by
planting individual seeds in the places
where they are to perfect their growth,
hut on a large scale and the bettor wuy,
even for a few, is to plant la a bed and
transplant. The check to growth
makes the plant more stocky, both in
top snd root, than it could he without
transplanting. Indeed, if it were not
too much trouble, early maturity might
ho promoted by rt clipping the top and
transplanting a second time. There is
very little check to growth in the sec
ond transplanting. The roots are in a
heap, few need he broken, aud the
plant, after a day, will grow faster
than before .—Boston Cultivator.
SPONGE THE HOUSES BHOULDEUS.
At that season of the year when
farmers’ horses are put at hard work
after a winter of comparative rest their
shoulder# are very liable to gall. I
went some distance lo a farmer's to
learn why his horses were never afflict
ed in that way, although he is noted
for working his team severely. Fro
deeding to tho stable, I had no occasion
to ask the question. Tho team had
just returned from the field, and the
farmer wai engaged at one and his man
at the ether sponging thei r shoulders
with cold water, This i» done every
time they como into the stable after
hard work, aud freedom from shoulder
abrasions, and consequent comfort of
tho animals, is the natural result. When
farm horses come in from labor, in the
spring especially, it may be observed
that they try to rub first one shoulder
and then tho other against the stall.
The wear at this point causes the ani
mals to foci exceedingly uncomfortable,
and humane men will not withhold
from them the cooling, sooth ng influ
ence of a little cold water .—New York
Tribune.
MEAL AT I’ABTIIUE.
Borne stockbreeders, especially those
who raise fancy steers, are accustomed
to feed the cattle meal when at pasture
If the practice was more universally ob
served there would be better animals
brought to our mnrkets, and tho results
woo'd bo more gratifying to tho grow
ers. Poor gross pastures do not supply
tho cattle with sufficient nourishment to
enable them to fatten quickly, nnd in
many of the old fcclious of our country
very few good pasture land) can he
found. Mitc.h cows turned from the
solid food of the barn to the thin pas

slight expense in providing the animal)

be found very profitable. The steers
will grow larger lit frame an i lay oa

CIIAKF.
In old times, w hen grain was threshed
with a flail, farmers too;t special pains
to save the chaff. It is more nutritious,
ami whru froe from dust, more pal si ta
ble than ulraw. A certain quantity of
chaff was mixed w ith tho gram ted to
horses. When machines were intro
duced for cutting hay or straw into
short lengths they ware called “chaffing
machines,” and tho cut luty was called
“chaffed liny,” or "inly-chaff.’’ In other
words, we cut up our hay, .'raw and
stocks to lake the place of chaff. The
American threshing machines knock out
the grain, clean it and carry straw and
chaff together on a “straw currier” to a
straw stack. There Is no provision for
separating the chuff from tho straw.
But the more tousei vut.vu English
farmors could_iu>t_ so readily change
their practice of feeding, and in dried
on having machines that wv.u d keep
tho chaff separate. And they got whit
they wanted. We do Hot want such
machines here, for tho simple reason
that not one farm in a thousand lias any
“chaff house” or place intended for
keeping chaff. Nevertheless, it is well
to know that chaff is valuable, so that
whenever we have an opportunity of
saving it wo may do so, —‘■Auuriedm

TURKEYS.
If there h any of the feathered tribe
I like to raise, it is turkeys, and the
Brouzo is a lavorito of the ssevcnrl
varieties. The si?,, has and will eon
tlmic to l>o thjj important point to breed
for. To accomplish this, bil cky, largo
boned, deep, breasted hens, mated with
a young gobbler weighing about thirty
pound), none of the stilted high-up-in
the ulr bird*, but au active, well-made,
large-boned bird, TUe little turks
should be fed on hard boiled eggs,
occasionally seasoned with pepper, *ho
firet week, gradually changing to other
fet’d, such as soaked breaJ, scalded
meal and shorts, nnd chopped onions_
almost anything for variety; a little at
s tirna aud often.
But tho real secret in turkey
raising is to keep them free from wet or
dampness. An entire brood have been
rendered almost worthless by becoming
thoroughly souke.i. For several years
post, with the use of the following
|>«wdor, commencing when a month old
snd fed for several weeks, I have lad
good results: Powder of cassia bark,
three parts; ginger, ten parts; gentian,
one part; anise o»e part; carbonate of
iron, five parts; mix well, and give for
every twenty young turk» a teaspoonful
twice a day, in the food. If turkeys
are raised by the old ones, and forage a
great deal, it is really unnecessary.—
Farm, Field and Stockman.
FEEDING CALVES.
Farmers have various contrivances for
feeding young calves waste milk and
whey, but out of tho many very few are
convenient or desirable. As soon as
grass has a good start calves designed to
bo raised for the dairy are generally put
into a small enclosure, somet mes a
young orchard, near tho farmhouse,
there to graze or nibble at the bark of
trees. Twice or three times a day tlie
hired boy will carry them their ration of
drink, thickened with a few handfuls of
middlings or oil meal. Sometimes the
liquid is portioned out in a row of
buckets standing on tho ground, which
the calves alternately hurt over," and
crowd two heads into one in their greed
and haste. Often such an arrangement
is supplemented by a long trough stand
ing on raised legs, which is twice a day
filled to tho brim with calf swill, aud
the young bovine* are left to wrsnglo
over it. The sequel of such method# of
feeding is that the strongest and greediest
animals will pod out with tho bulk of
the rations designe 1 for all, and the
wsakly ones will grow still thinner and
more weakly as their scanty feed tolls
upeu their growth. Jf calves are set
apart to raise, their wants must ho
bountifully supplied, as they are to
form the future dairy herd. In feeding
calves it is the height of folly to give
their food in bulk and let them squab
ble over the division. They need a cer
tain amount of tood at regular inter
vals, and must take it at leisure and in
peaeo. The following descrilied de
vice is both eflleacioui and practicable.
At a convenient corner of the calf pas
ture put up some light stanchions simi
lar to those in tho cow stable, only
dwarfed in size. Have them take the
place of the fence as far as they go.
Take one broad board or two narrow
ones cleated together, and through the
centre of the strip .aw circular holes at
distances a)»art corresponding with the
width between stanchions, The
holes should he of diameter suftieiont to
take in a pail or bucket two-thirds of
its depth. Fasten this level In front of
tho stanchions by nailing It to supports
at each end and In the middle. At
feeding time set a bucket of whey or
milk into each hole and the calves will
come gamboling up ami thrust their
heads through tho apertures of the
stanchions, where they cau ho quickly
fastened in and remain separated while
eating. By this system it is impossible
lor one greedy creature, after it has de
voured its <>*vn jiuidva it* ffwt ftwjiy and
rob a slower-eating companion. Th*
rack hold) the buckets so lirmlyin place
that the calve.i can butt them to their
hearts' content without upsetting. Tho
stanchion frame and tho rack, being
portable, cau be stored when not in use.

Couatry Week.
Every year the weakest nnd most
sickly of the children belonging to the
Par s rag picking district are sent into
the country to remain for a short time
among the pens aits, with instructions
to eat all they choose, live in the open
air and roll about on tho grass. At
first the miserable little creatures seem
to be stupefied by the brightness of
their new life, and quite dazed by tho
difference between city squtlor and
bright sun and flower).
One hoy, on rising from a laborer’s
said, almost with awe:
“This is the. Sir* time I ever ate till I

Their startled surprise and almost
piteous happiness recall the words of
the English city child, who, takoa int o

compassionately at a sparrow, and saidt
“Poor little bird! he has no cage to

Another, who had never even visited
the parks and gardens of her native city,

One li.tle American boy, during his
