"108 THE FARM AND HOME. Food for Calve*. , lany farmers have suffered losses '„ n g their calves by putting them too urly upon a non-milk diet of an unsuit able nature. The stomach of a calf but “ weeks old is very tender and deli ’ate, and'will not stand irritation such ns is'produced by many feeding stuffs that are readily digested at a more ad vanced age. It is necessary to remove from such foods all particles of husk and libre, and whatever may be the materials used in the mixture, whether bean meal, pea meal, wheat, linseed, or a variety of other? it is important not merely to grind finely, but to carefully separate through a silk or fine cloth sieve all par titles of husk. If these are not removed thev arc, however finely ground, likely to cause serious irritation. The judicious use of gruel made from properly prepar ed foods, at first in partial and finally in total substitution for milk, from an early 3 <re, effects a considerable economy on a large dairy farm. flow to Grow a Good Potato Crop. Edmund Hersey, Hingham, Mass.,who has had large experience, said at a meet ing of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture that he got the most, the largest and the best quality of potatoes from small tubers, cut two eyes to a piece. He believes: 1. The shape of a potato cannot be changed by the contin ued selection of any particular form of the seed planted. 2. The crop may be increased by the selecting of healthy, well-kept tubers, and diminished by se lecting for seed diseased and poorly kept potatoes. 3. Hard potatoes that have sprouted but little are better for seed than those that are soft, or have any long sprouts. 4. Long continued plant ing of any variety gradually changes its characteristics. 5. Large crops are only obtained on rich soils, well prepared by being thoroughly pulverized. 6. In or dinary field culture the size of the tubers planted should be sufficient to give the young plants a vigorous start. 7. Neither the size or form of the seed tuber is of half as much consequence as is its healthy condition or its vital powers. 8. No rule can be laid down in regard to ; th? quantity of seed per acre,the amount of manure to be applied, or the particu lar method of cultivation. 9. One or half a dozen experiments are not suffic ent to establish any particular facts, and each one must experiment for himself on his own farm. Three-Story Barm. For ordinary farm uses where hay and grain are the staple crops a one-story barn with a basement is the most desira ble shape. And in the bay the open space should extend from the roof to the bottom of the basement. The entire weight of grain or hay will press down ward, making the mass at the bottom very solid. But for otirer""uses mbre flooring is often desirable. Seed growers and those who handle tobacco require a succession of floors with plenty of ven tilation. The difficulty is in driving in on the upper floors, but this is accom plished by building on a side hill and grading up. In a three-story barn long enough for two floors, one wagon passage may be run on the first floor and the pro duct be pitched upon the second. The other may be built up to the second floor, and this will enable products to be drawn by team nearly to the roof. • These high buildings require only the same roofing as lower ones, and afford better ventilation. But one great draw back to this form of building is danger from fire. In country places it is diffi cult to throw streams of water to the tops of high buildings, and when a fire under such circumstances gets under headway it is nearly impossible to save anything. Even the basement barn is objected to by owmers of valuable stock, for the cellar under a barn when the latter is in flames is a death trap, which no one who values his life dare enter.- Cultivator. Testing All eggs should be tested by some means. Eggs that arc unfertile will be easily distinguished from the fertile ones in three or four days after setting; in fact an expert may detect them on the second day. In France it is the practice to examine or test the eggs after the hen has becio on them two days, and if they prove un fertile they are used on the table. Tn this country almost every one feeds the young chicks boiled eggs the first two or three days of their existence, and for this purpose eggs that have been set on six or eight days are equally as valuable as fresh ones. Now for a cheap tester, take a heavy piece of brown paper, wrap it around a stick, paste it fast all along, draw the stick out and you have one that will dis tinguish between fertile and unfertile <ggs when set upon five or six days. To use the tester, we have but to hold it to the eye and hold an egg to the other end of it, looking through the egg to ward the sun or a lamp. Every stage of incubation may be noted in this way, and the egg saved by this process and used as food for chicks will abundantly pay for all the trouble. A still more valuable consideration is the fact that when a half dozen hens are set at once, the fertile eggs may be put into a less I number of nests and other fresh eggs may be placed under the hens rendered idle by the removal of the unfertile eggs aud the consolidation of the fertile ones.— Journal of Agriculture. 12n.ll.ire in Stacks. Strong support to the stack system of ensilage has been given by the committee appointed by the Royal Agricultural so ciety to inspect the silos ami stacks of the country as judges in the competition for prizes recently awarded. Prof. Long, one of the members, in giving evidence the other day before the ensilage com mission, stated that he and his colleagues were very favorably impressed with the stacks they saw. He further remarked that, where the stack system was suc cessfully carried out, the loss on the out sides was very small, and not more than the average loss in silos. The committee estimated the loss on the prize stack be longing to Nr. Johnson, of Oakwood Croft, near Darlington, at only 2 per cent. The concluding sittings of the ensilage commission did not bring to liglitjnuch dse of importance, unless it was the evidence of several* witnesses as to the value of maize as an ensilage crop, and the best method cf cultivating it in this country. Sir John Lawes appears to be as skeptical as ever in respect of the advantages of ensilage, though he is almost alone among those who have tried the system. Dr. Voelcker, from his ex perience, hjs come to quite a contrary opinion, laving been convinced that there are very great advantages to be de rived from ensilage, one of which is the growing of two fodder crops, such as tares and maize, for the silo or the stack, in the same season. When Sir John Lawes compares mangolds with ensilage crops, he does not appear to consider the great expense of the former, especially on the chys, ami the serious injury done to heavy land by carting heavy root crops off the land in a wet autumn. The final report of the commissioners may be expected shortly, and there is no doubt that it will be strongly in favor of ensi lage. ll.cp Ploughing. In farming, as well as in dairying or graz.ng, everything depends on the con dition of the soil. Here is a foundation, and unless this is in proper condition the superstructure is bound to fall. A great deal has been said and written as to the proper depth to plough, and there is such a difference of opinion held among farmer in regard to it the question is still as far from being settled as ever. We think, however, that the' leading cause for su.-h difference of opin ion may be found in the difference in the land itself. That good crops are and can be grown on shallow-ploughed land that is good, no one will deny, provided the season be neither too weh nor too dry; i. e., with moderate rains the whole season. In such a season anyone can grow good crops. But such seasons are rare, and, in fact, every season is likely to be at tended with either a long drought or a long wet spell. Now what the farmer wants is to guard against both, and the only way to do it is to break up his land as deeply as possible, say not less than from seven to ten inches. But how is this to mend the matter? We answer, very easily. In case of a heavy rain, a large portion of the water, instead of running off, will be absorbed by the deeply disintegrated land, where it is held as if by a sponge for the use of the plants, and if a drought should inter vene, there is a supply of water just where the plants want it, and when ex hausted, its place is at once supplied by capillary attraction from below. It will thus be seen that by deep ploughing the farmer provides against drought by hav ing a supply of water in reserve or a place ready to receive and hold it when ever it comes. The better to insure this, however, as well as to facilitate the es cape of too much water, it is better to use a sub-soil plough and an additional team, running the same immediately after the breaking plough, and the rip ping up the sub-soil the desired depth. This need not be done for every crop raised on the land, but only once in every three or four years. It has been well said that it is better to have two acres of good land, one on top of the other, than as many acres alongside of each other, as it costs only half as much to tend them. The way to do this is by deep ploughing, and thus double the depth of the soil, as well as the crops grown thereon. Tribune and Farmer. Household Hints. A piece of zinc put on live coals in the stove will clean out the stovepipe. To remove paint splashes on window glass, moisten the spots with a strong so lution of soda, then rub hard. Oil stains may be removed from paper by applying pipe clay powdered and mixed with water to the thickness of cream; leave on for four hours. If one ounce of powdered gum traga canth be mixed in the white of six eggs, well beaten and applied to a window, it prevent the rays of the sua from pen etrating. Curtains of swiss or lace are placed next to the window in front of the shades with pretty effect. They only reach to the sill, and are looped back with white ribbon or a piece of goods embroidered. All high-backed rockers must liavo head-rests or be old-fashioned. These rests are little oblong affairs in the shape of a small log, and made out of rich iga terial beautifully embroidered or shuttle cretonne. Some of the prettiest are chrochetted out of variegated wor-tetl. They have a filling of feathers or eottpu and fastened to the chair by ribbons. Iteclples. Cinnamon Rolla.— Take a piece of pie crust, roll it out, cut it in narrow strips, sprinkle with cinnamon, roll it up tight, place in a buttered pan and bake until brown. Omelet with Spinach.— Pick, wash mil chop a handful of spinach, put in an omelet pan an ounce of good buttejr when it is hot add the spinach with a little salt and pepper. Then beat up three eggs with a tablespoonful of sweet cream and a soupcon of salt. Add to the spinach and finish as a plain omelet, A<<e Griddle Cakes.— Two cupfulscold boiled rice, one pint flour, one teaspoon, ful sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt, one and one-half teaspoonfuls baking pow der, one egg, little more than one-hall pint milk. Siftogether jknir, sugar, salt and powder; aifd rice free from lumps,diluted with beaten egg and milk; mix into smooth batter. Have griddle well heated, make cakes large, bake nicely brown, serve with maple syrup. French Loaf Cake.— Beat one pound ol sugar with half pound of butter until very light and stir in one cup of cream, then beat in one quarter of a pound of flour. Beat seven eggs until they arc very light and add by degrees to the mixture; then add three-quarters of a pound of flour, half of it at a time alter nately with the juice and grated rind of one lemon. After beating all well to gether, add one teaspoonful of saieratus and beat* few minutes longer. Have the pans buttered and lined with white paper, pour the mixture into them and bake in a moderate oven. Something About Chinese. Chinese is a queer language. All its words are only one syllable long. Bui the sounds in the Chinese language are not very many, some four hundred and sixty-five at most, and their written lan guage contains about eighty thousand pictures, each picture representing a thing or idea. And these pictures must be committed to memory. This is hard work, and not even tlie wisest Chinese professor can learn them ail. But now reomes a difficulty. For, of course, where there are so many words and so few sounds, many different words have to be called by the same sound. How then are they to tell, when several different things have exactly the same name, which of them is meant? We have such words. For instance, there is Bill, the name of a boy; and bill the beak of a bird; there is bill, an old weapon, and bill, a piece of money; there is bill, an article over which legis laturcs jlcbate, an&Jfill, a claim for pay ment of money; besidesliills ofcxchange, bills of lading, and so forth. But Chin ese is full of such words of a single .sylla ble, yen, for instance, which, like bill, means many very different things. So they chose a number of little pictures, and agreed that these should be used as “keys.” Each “key” meant that the sign or signs near which it stood be longed to some large general set of things, like things of the vegetable, mineral, or animal kingdom, forests, m ines, or seas, air, or water, or of persons, like gods or men. It was like the game called Throw ing Light, in which you guess the article by narrowing down the field until certain what it is. But there Chinese writing stopped short, thousands of years ago. There it is to-day. There are now two hundred and fourteen of these “keys,” and, by intense application, Chinamen learn to use their method with surprising quick ness ami success.— St. Nicholas. Russia’s Peat Deposits. There is an excellent chance for the inventor of a simple peat cutting ma chine, for Russia, which can be worked by a team of horses, and would take the place between the ordinary hand-cutting machine and those worked by steam, the latter of which cost about $4,500. Large deposits of peat exist in the coun try, which it is intended to use instead of coal as soon as they can be worked cheaper than coal. In fact, on the Northern Railroad of Russia the locomo tives hitherto burning wood or co:-.] i.r< being adapted for peat-burning, as a con siderable saving is expected to be real ized. The hand-machines, by the way, have the drawback that the peat can not be worked below eight feet, while the steam-cutting machines penetrate twenty feet, and reach a superior kind of peat.— Chicago Times. A Bull’s Golden Teeth. A Nevada City, (Nev.,) butcher re cently killed a steer whose teeth were completely intrusted with gold and sil ver bullion. The animal came from a ranch on Carson River. It is supposed that the precious meta: on its teeth was collected while drinking the water of the river, which is impreg nated with the tailings of the mills re ducing Comstock ores. It is said that most of the cattle along this river havr gold and silver on their teeth. Chicagi Lie rail. CLIPPINGS FOR THE CTKIOUS.

He had learned to smoke it and taught Raleigh. When the servant of the latter first saw his master enveloped in tobacco smoke, supposing him to be on fire, he dashed a pail of water over him. Raleigh taught Queen Elizabeth to smoke. In ancient times a person accused of robbery had a piece of barley bread, on which the mass had been said, given hiiif to swallow. He put in his mouth, utter ing the words : “May this piece of bread choke me if what I say is not true,” and if he could swallow it with out being choked, he was pronounced innocent. Tradition ascribes the death of the Earl Godwin to choking with a piece of bread after this solemn ap peal. It has happened, says Disraeli, that inquisitive men, examining with a flam beau ancient sepulchres which have just, been opened, the fat and gross vapors engendered by the corruption of dead bodies kindled ns the flambeau ap proached them, to the great astonish ment of the spectators, who frequently cried out “a miracle.” This sudden in flamation, although very natural, has given room for the belief that perpetual lamps were placed in the tombs of the ancients. Made-up Men. “The first thing,” said the fashionable tailor who clothes the “.swell” young men “is to build out the chest.

The latest arc made of the lightest kind of wire. The trousers are padded back and front and the calves are nicely filled out with wire lining. The vest would show pad ding if too much w ere put in, so very little is used on each side of the chest. The magnificent broad shoulders arc made into the coat with cotton. The same material is generously and artisti cally distributed in the shoulders and chest.

Beverages and Digestion. Some experiments on a larg butcher’s dog, with reference to the effects of sun dry beverages on digestion, have been recently described by Signor Ogata. The following conclusions, .which may not be strictly applicable to man accustomed to the drinks named, were reached : First, water containing carbonic acid, tea and coffee in moderate amount, do not dis turb digestion. Second, beer, wine and brandy retarded digestion considerably at first, till absorbed, and in the case of beer the extractive matters thus as well as the alcohol. Thus beer retards diges tion more than wine containing the saipe quantity of alcohol. Third, sugar (cane and grape) retards digestion considera bly. Fourth, common salt accelerates it distinctly.

It was known that Mr. Davis nail vis ited Bragg on Missionary Ridge a short time before my reaching Chattanooga, says Gon. Grant in the Century. It was reported and believed that he had come out to reconcile a serious difference be tween Bragg and Longstreet, and finding this difficult to <lo, planned the campaign against Knoxville, to be conducted by tin 1 latter general. 1 hud known both Bragg ami Longstreet before the war the latter very well. We bad been three years at West Point together, and after my graduation, for a time in the same regiment. Then we served together in the Mexican war. 1 knew Braggin Mex ico, and met him occasionally subse quently. 1 could well understand how there might be an irreconcilable differ-' once between them. Bragg was a remar kably intelligent, and well informed man professionally and otherwise. He was also thoroughly upright. But he was possessed of an irascible temper, and was naturally disputatious. A man of the highest moral character and the most correct habits, yet in the old army he was in frequent trouble. As a subordi nate he was always on the lookout to catch his commanding officer infringing upon his prerogatives, as a post command er he was equally vigilant to detect the slightest infringement of the most trivial order. I have heard in the old army nn anecdote told characteristic of Bragg. On one occasion when stationed at a post of several companies commanded by a field officer, he was himself commanding one of the companies and nt the same time acting ns Post Quartermaster and ('ommissary. He wasn First Lieutenant at the time, but his captain was detached on other duty. As commander of the company he made a requisition upon the Quartermaster himself—for something he wanted. As Quartermaster he de clined to till th<‘ requisition and indorsed | on the buck of it his reason for so doing. I As company commander he responded to this, urging that his requisition called ‘ lor nothing but what he was entitled to, and that it was the duty of the Quarter master to fill it. The Quartermaster still persisted that he was right. In this condition of affairs Bragg referred the w hole matter to the commanding officer. The latter when he saw the nature of the matter referred, exclaimed : “My God! Mr. Bragg, you have quarrelled with every officer in the army, and now you are quarrelling with yourself."
