When one possesses cows.of valua/ble breed, it is very desirable to raise their calves for sale; yet the milk is also valuable, in the early spring, and therefore it is considered the best plan to bring them up by hand.

The calf should be allowed to nurse for the first day or two, and can then be removed to angther stable, and taught to drink by putting'two fingers into its mouth, and gently drawing its head down to the milk pail, letting it suck the fingers. A large teat can be manufactured out of cotton cloth, and nailed to the bottom of a small tub, and the.milk ppured into it. Make the artificial teat long enough to come up above the milk, and so -that the calf can take hold of it easily. Hay porridge or tea is often substituted for milk in bringing up calves. Take the best hay your barn affords, and eut it into two-or three-inch' lengths; pour hoiling water over it in a large bowl, and. let it scald on the fire for two hours or so. For the first two weeks, give equal proportions of hay, tea, and new -milk; then- make two-thirds of the tea to one of milk ; and in six weeks one-fourth part of milk will be enougl. ~The food should be given in a lukewarm state, three times a day, giving about three quarts at a meal for two. weeks; then increase to four quarts. The hay tea need not be prepared oftener than every other day ; but it must not stand in iron, and must be kept sweet. The milk should not be scalded, but turned into nearly cold tea.— If after the second or third week a handful or two of pat or corn meal is stirred into each portion of scaldinghot tea, it will stimulate the growth of the calf decidedly. i § There is nothing gained in keeping calves on a short diet. Give them all they - desire to eat; they will rarely take more than enough. Many a calf -and many a baby, too, is kept on too small a quantity of food. It is astonishing to see how much the young things will stow away, and grow fat over it. ; :

When a calf is-two months’ old it can have a small wisp of hay given it; or if the weather is warm enough, it can be turned out to graze upon the sweet, tender grass; but must be well sheltered from wind and rain, and so near the house that it can have its breakfast and supper as usual. When it is fully weaned it is not needful to-pamper its appetite; yet it must not be poorly fed, lest it should receive a check in its growth. Itisa good plan to pet and caress it; lead it early by a halter,. and handle it as much as possible—for this treatment makes it kind and docile, and will also make it a good milker. There is nothing more cruel than to strike, kick, and speak harshly to young animals; they have an instinct that teachesthem to comprehend kindness and its opposite. The bést cow we ever had was a pet with the children, and, when a calf, was milked by them, fed and earessed, and there never was a more gentle animal or a better milker—Country Gentleman.

. _PURIFY THE CELLAR. ‘Many of the diseases which afflict humanity are traceable to ignorance or neglect of sanitary laws, foul cesspodls, filthy draining and noisome cellars breed diseases and cause death.— Many a mysterious case of typhoid and scarlet fever, rheumatism and ague, may be correctly traced to the malarious effluvia emanating from these neglected places. Old boxes and barrels, standing in an obscure corner of the cellar, where the sunlight never reaches, may look harmless because they are “empty,” but, having contained vegetable or animal matter, may have retained enough on the side and bottom to affect the health of the household. No agent is so subtile as the searching malaria of damp cellars, laden with congestive chills and typhoids.. These exhalations are generated alike under the ' marisions of the wealthy and the hovels of the poor.— The dining room and \parlor may be cleaned to fastidiousness, while miasma presses against the door leading to the cellar underneath, and rushes through every time it is opened.— Nearly every cellar is made a receptacle for old trumpery of all kinds—crock, jars, cans, boxes, casks, ete, which have been in use, but cast aside, and generally left in an unclean condition. These become damp, mouyldy, and offensive, and the only safety 1s in a complete overhauling and airing out. ‘Whatever vessels are found and fit for use, should be cleansed and aired, and everything else should be destroyed or cast away. Inmost cellars a full day’s work will be found for a strong man, and the matter.is important enough to elaim his time and immediate attention. Tt should not be left for the women and boys of the family. After all the rubbish and garbage has been removed, the walls and ceilings should be swept with an old broom? or washed with lime. The figor, if danip, should also be sweetened with a plentiful application of lime. Now is the time to attend to this matter. Negleet of so important a sanitary measure may result in disease and death. h

HOW TO DO THREE THINGS., - A lady, writing to the Ohio Farmer, gives these experiences: ° . ? The best renovator for feather beds I ever found, and the use 'of which produced good results, can be extemporized by any one possessing the necessary materials without money and without price. A little labor ‘is all that is required, leaving the rest to nature’s elements with rain and sunshine: Take four to six pieced of ‘clean scantling, lay the ends on some barrels or boxes, spreading the width and extendinlﬁ;;he length to accommodate the sides of the bed. - Spread the bed out over these scantling evenly, then let the rain wash and the sun dry repeatedly, turning occasionally, and at the end of four or five weeks’ exposure in this manner the improved appearance in the looks of the bed will 'amﬂ‘y repay for all the trouble experiencedl. o

j Washing and Irontng Bed-clothes—l " am aware a great many people never think it worth while to.iron bed-quilts after washing; but I can assure them that their looks can be wonderfully improved by a careful ironing,.both ~on the riiht and wrong sides. All flannels should be ironed. before they are quite dry, but not with a flat hot enough to scorch; flannel scorches much quicker than cotton. They sho'd ‘be watched after hanging up to dry, and taken down when slightly ‘damp, rolled up, then ironed after a few hours’ time. This will prevent much shrinking. , - 5

How to Iron Pants, Coats, etc—Pants can be made to look very nicely after washin% them by brushing clear from all particles of lint, turn wrong side out, press all the seams with a hot flat over a press-board, turn back to' the right side, wet a piece of white muslin in clear water, rinsing out, gpread over a portion of the pants (which have previously been folded smoothly,) iron over the muslin until completely' dry, remove, wet again, put over a new place, and iron again ; do this untfl the whole snréace has been gone over. - -

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. - To prevent horses from rubbing the_ hair off-of tail and mane, take half a teacupful of sharp cider vinegar, pour on the spot where the rubbing is done. and card it in while pouring on, and it will be found that this simple thing will .stop rubbing down fences, or spoiling the looks of the tail in the stable. : ; After a pretty full discussion of the cost, efficiency, and durability of different kinds of fences, a Michigan Farmers’ Club concluded that a good worm rail fence is the cheapest and best fence that farmers can build.

The Gardener’s Monthly, in speaking of the black knot on plum and cherry trees, says it should be cut out as fast as it appears, not as the black knot, but as a mere sappy abrasure, green and spongy, above the bark. It i 8 no use to cut it out after a month old. This delay is probably the secret gf néany failures in removing the black not. :

The Stock Journal, after giving a number of experiments in feeding corn to pigs, remarks that these experiments show that there is within a fraction of twenty-four pounds of pork in a bushel of corii; and the effort of every farmer should be to endeavor to. get out as much as he can of it. And to do this he miust have the right kind of hog; they must be placed in the right manner, with a view to profit. ~ Professor Church, of Cirencester, the eminent agricultural chemist, announ-’ ces that sulphate of lime appearsto exercise a very remarkable influence in arresting the spreéad of decay in potatoes affected by the potato disease. In one experiment the salt was dusted over some tubers, partially .decayed from this cause, as they were being stowed away. Some months afterward the potatoes were found to have suffered no further injury. A similar trial with powdered lime proved to be much less effective. 3

~ SIX KINDS OF CAKE. Bridgeport—Take 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of fine white sugar, 315 cups of flour, 2 cups of currants, 1 cup of sweet milk, in which dissolve 14 teaspoonful soda, 4 eggs; stir one teaspoonful of cream tartar into the flour. Bake in two sheets in a quick oven; frost if you choose. By substituting chopped raisins, one cup in one-half the above quantity, you have two kinds of cake at one baking; or you can slice citron for the fruit, which is very nice. Fruit Cake—o One and two-thirds cup of butter, 5 cupsof flour, 3 cups of sugar, 1 cup of wine, 1 teaspoonful of soda, 1 pound of raisins, 1 pound of currants, i pound: of citron, and 5 eggs. Spice to your taste. : Cider Cake—Two pounds of flour, 1 pound of sugar, 34 pound of butter, 1 pound currants, 1 pint cider, 6 eggs and 1 teaspoonful soda. Spice it to your taste. © e . :

Light Fruit Cake. — Three-fourths pound butter, 1 pound sugar, 1 pound eggs, 1 pound flour, 1 pound raisins, stoned and chopped a little, 14 pound citron, small toaspoonful soda without spice. This will keep all summer. Marble Cake—White—QOne cup of butter, 3 cups of whitesugar, 5 cups of flour, one cup of new milk, 14 teaspoonful of soda, and the whites of 8 eggs. _ Marble Cake—Dark.— One cup of butter, 2 cups of brown sugar, 1 cup of molasses, 1 cup of sour milk, 4 cups of flour, 14 teaspoonful of soda, 1 whole egg, yolks of 8 eggs, and all kinds of spice. Bake in two deep tins. Put a layer of dark cake in at the bottom, then one of light, and so on. When you cut it the effect is beautiful.

<~ TRAINING HEIFERS. Nothing is more agreeable to most cows than the operation of milking, except, perhaps, eating and a cow with a distended udder will usually prefer to be milked. Nevertheless, heifers are generally nervous about it, frequently kick, and never stand still at first. Kind treatmént and a gentle hand are essential. A rough man will be sure to make the heifer a kicker.— The best way is to sit by the heifer, on her right side of course: make her place her right foot back, then grasp the cord above the hock of the left leig with the left hand and hold on.— She cannot lift her left leg well, and will not try to step over your arm with her right foot. ‘This is “easily prevented by raising the elbow, and she is absolutely forced to stand as she is. Meanwhile you can first clean and manipulate her bag and teats with your right hand with entire safety.— When she stands quiet you can use both hands, but be ready on the least suspicion of movement to replace the left, The heifer should be.tied in a stall at first and have something to eat, perhaps, and if very wild it may be necessary to begin by handling her, rubbing, brushing, or carding her gently, and gradually getting her accustomed to have her udder handled; but all this ought to have been done before she calved. . .

. POLES FOR CUCUMBERS, When the garden is crowded, and it is a great deal better to have a garden too small than too large, we ean hardly afford space to cucumbers. True, we set the ground full of lettuce, and sprinkle in caulifiower plants about two feet apart; the lettuce and many of the cauliflowers are out of the way before the vines cover the ground, but it is a little hard to make the remaining cauliflowers and cucumbers agree perfectly, and one or the other is apt to suffer. To remedy this evil set three poles about two feet apart. They should be about eight feet long, and go one foot at least in the soil, and cross at the upper ends, where they should be bound by a cord or a withe. The cucumber vine climbs as naturally as it runs, but it is inclined to go -wandering off and blindly feeling for something farther or higher, so it needs a little twisting and training, and occasional pinching in, to keep it in bounds. Birch poles, with' the twigs left on, do very well, but cedars are unquestionably better and more ’vdurabje. o :

} PROFIT IN FEEDING SHEEP, At a recent meeting of the Farmers’ Club in Batavia, Genessee county, N. Y., Mr. George Burt presented the following definite statistics relative to the cost and profit of feeding sheep for market: He paid for 200 sheep for fattening $915; for keep, two months, s#64; eight tons of hay, at $l6 per ton, $128; four loads of cornstalks, $l6; 158 bushels of corn, 60 cents per bushel, $88.80; one barrel of salt, $3; interest on money invested, $20.75; total $l,227.55. January 4th, he sold 171 sheep at 8 cents per pound, $1,522.40; 28 at 61¢ cents per pound, $181.79; one pelt, $1.50; total, 81,705.60; profit on the 200 sheep, $578.14. Mr, Burt holds that sheep in winter should be kept in small flocks—less rather than more than sixty-five in a flock—in yards where they can have free access at all times to water; that they should be kept free from all disturbing or exciting causes; that open sheds are better for them than a close barn; and that it is best to feed grain to them whole.

Childrens’ Legal Rights. 1 - Property of deceased parents descend to their children in' equal proportion, where there isno will left making different provisions. : ‘When the father dies, leaving a widow and more than one child, the children inherit two-thirds of the estate; if a widow and but one child be left, they inherit- equally. When the mother dies, leaving: a widower and one or more children; two-thirds of the mother’s estate descends to their child or children. : ; Children may receive their proportion of their parent’s estate by advancement from .the parent during life, but if the advancement made shall exeeed the child’s proportion of the estate when it comes to be divided, ‘the child gannot be compelled to refund the excess. Maintaining, educating or giving money to a minor child, without any view to a portion or settlement in life, is not'an advancement. Children inherit a deceased parent’s share of any prior estate, the same as the parent would if living. - Grand children inherit their grand parent’s estate equally, if there be no children surviving. -

The children of a father who marries a second or other subsequent wife, and has by her no children, inherit the land that descends to such wife, by him, at her death. s , - When a minor shall have a right of action against any person, such minor can commence and maintain suit, in the name of next friend, who shall be liable. for costs. ‘ Any minor, over the age of 14, having neither father or mother or guardian, can bind himself or herself as an apprentice with consent of the Judge of the Circuit Court. . The father, or if there be no father, the mother, and .if there be no father or mother, the guardian, can bind a minor child. The child’s consent, though, must be giver in writing, if over , fourteen. All such . indentures must-be in two parts, one to be kept by the master or mistress.and the other filed in the Clerk’s office. In all such indentures, remaining more than three years, there must be an agreement on the part of the master or mistress to cause the apprentice to be ‘taught to read and write and the rules of arithmetic to the double rule of three, or the agreement will be invalid. "The court has power to annul all such contraets for misconduct of either party. i . The ;master cannot compel an apprentice to work more than 10 hours a day unless he pays additional compensation for the same.-— Lagrange Standard. = i

S Y W e A Faithful and Loving Mother. It will be remembered that some' six weeks since, reports reached us that certain;bands of the Sioux Indians were making demonstrations of a suspicious and warlike nature, and that mail carriers had been attacked. The reports were verified by the evidence of Arthur Carper, a young man, a native of Whitley county, who was a guest of the Kirtley house on Sunday last. Carper left this part of the country when only twelve years old, and has, when not in the employ of the Government, been engaged in trapping on the frontier. On the 23d of last April, while acting as mail carrier from White Clay, in Dacotah Territory to Fort Larimie, a distance of 140 miles, through a wild and barren region, was ambushed about twenty miles east of the Fort by the Minnie Couzzie band of Sioux, led by Little Hawk, a son of Red Cloud, lionized by the people, but a short time ago. This route, Carper. says, was considered dangerous from the fact that D.R. Rodgers,ia mail carrier, was shot and killed in March, and just five days before receiving his wounds, his partner was killed by the same band: Carper’s escapé is remarkable; he showed us nine different bullet marks upon his body and limbs, and his clothing was literally riddled; he was chased nine miles, and it was only owing to the fact that his team consisted of horses in a stronger and better condition than the ponies of the Indians, that he effected his escape. He says the Indians of the plains are fully aware of the Modoc troubles, and from indications last winter and this spring,a general outbreak is not. improbable. The mail route spoken of above, is one hundred and twenty miles north of Cheyenne, through a faverite hunting ground for fur bearing animals. Carper’s mother, aged 63 years, immediately upon hearing of her son’s misfortune, started for the Indian country, alone and unprotected, intent upon see¢ing and saving her son, if possible. She was three weeks upon the road, and at one time passed through a‘body of fifteen thousand braves.— She succeeded in her endeavors, and has now safely arrived at her home in South Whitley, with her long-lost boy. It-sounds strange to have these Indian troubles brought so near, in this our day; but her experience is only equalled by those remarkable women we were, as boys, accustomed to read of in “Western Annals.” . Seven years ago, she lost a brother, murdered by these same “Noble Red Men.” The wounds of young Carper are doing well, and in a short time he will again be enabled, as he expresses a desire, to get out again where he can enjoy elbow room.—Northern Indianian.

‘Widow’s Rights. : If a husband die intestate (without a will) leaving a widow, one-third of his real estate and $5OO of his personal property descends to her, free from all demands of creditors. She can also have one-third of the balance of the personal property after payment of the debts. ~ If the entire estate, real and-person-al, does not exceed $5OO, the widow can take all, without administration, in trust for herself and the infant children of the deceased husband. Is the widow -shall marry while such children are minors or unmarried, the husband must file a bond with the clerk for the application of so much’ of the $5OO as may remain at the time of remarrying, to the benefit of such children. , : Where the real estate exceeds $lO,000 the widow takes only one-fourth, and where it exceeds $20,000 one-fifth as:against ecreditors. Jlf a husband die leaving a widow and only one child, they share the estate equally. - Where there are no children,the widow takes three-fourths and the father and mother of the deceased one-fourth, except when the estate does not exceed $l,OOO. In that case the widow takes all. If the husband leave no child or fa-ther-or mother, the whole property goes to the widow. ‘ If the husband dies leaving a will making different provisions covering the interest of the widow, she can take ander the will or under the law as she may prefer. : : 1f a wife die leaving a widower, onethird of her real estate descends to him, subject however to its proportion of the debts of the Wife contracted before marriage. - =’ : | - If a husband shall have left his wife, and shall at the time of her death be living in adulteg. he can take no part of her estate. Neither can a widow take any part of her husband’s estate under like ci:eumstance. : If .a husband abandons his wife without just cause, ﬂmingeto make suitable provision for her, he can take 30 rlr)]axt of her estate.—Lagrange Stana . %

Elkhart County Items, [Compiled from the Goshen Democrat, June 28.] —The Goshen Woolen Millsare now running to their full capacity. ' —The Indiana Herald, of Huntington, to allay our fears, says that Major Sayler is permanently located in thaf county. S : v —There is now a good prospect for alarge apple crop, and coopers are making preparations to meet the demand for barrels. , : - —Farmers are well along with haymaking, and never has the crop ?een gathered in a better condition. It'will make a horse laugh next winter to feast on some of the delicious clover put in store against a time of need. —Frank Plank, aged 14 years, a son of J. K. Plank, who resides about eight miles north-east of Goshen,was thrown from a wagon and almost instantly killed by a runaway team, abont four o’clock Thursday afternoon. Frank was an excellent boy, and was dearly loved by all who knew him. |

—Our fat and jolly friend, Neil Felkner, of Milford, was in town on Thursday. Neil is going into manufacturing spokes, hubs, felloes, and all that appertains to4he wagon business.— We think he will make it a success. With plenty of the best kind of timber, ample means and good husiness qualifications, we do not see how he can well help it.

—G. M. Levette, Assistant state Ge-. ologist, was in the city last week, for a short time. Of course he called upon the press, to gather what information he could. He is decidedly Of%he opinion that there is no coal north of the ‘Wabash, at least, not in sufficient quantities to warrant even the expense of ‘a preliminary test. From what he has seen of the country east of us, he is of the opinion that lakes Erie and Michigan were united in ages past. The: f%rmation of the counfry, from the roeky region of the Wabash, north, until rock formations appear again, give plausibility to the theory. The work of the State Geologist departmént, especially in developing the coal regions, have been of in«,Falculable value. : |

- DeKalb County Items. : 1 (Compiled from the Waterloo Press, June 26.) | +~—The Saginaw trains run just right to go fishing at Pleasant and Long Lakes. ' —A pretented farm buyer, name unknown, stole $26 in money from a farmer named Zoobrook, near Butler, on Sunday.night last. : —A collision at Eel River Junction, one night last week, smashed three or four freight and flat cars. —lt is claimed that crackers are used to distribute poison about town, by some of the persons who are killing off dogs. If this be true, it indicates a degree of recklessness which should be punished. It seems hardly possible that any one would not know ‘that crackers are as likely to be eaten by children as by dogs. . —On Friday night last, a fine team of horses and new harness, belonging to:Christian Frantz, and a light wagon belonging to Mr. Mizer, were stolen from their farms, about two miles west of this place. Saturday morning printed descriptions of the stolen property were sent in every direction. A dispatch was soon received from the Sheriff of Kalamazoo county,Michigan, announcing that he had arrested the thieves and secured the property.

‘What to do in Case of Accident. Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University, gives the following short rules for action in case of acecident, which will be found useful to remember: - ‘ For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing; dash water in them; remove cinders, etec., with the round point of a lead pencil. = i Remove matter from the earby tepid water; never put a hard instrument into the ear. : ' : If an artery is eut, compress above the wound; if a vein is cut, compress below. v . If-choked get on all fours and cough. For slight burns, dip the part in cold water: if the skin is destroyed, cover with varnish. e Smother fire with carpets, &c.; water will often spread burning oil and increase the danger. Before passing through smoke take a long breath, and then stoop low; but if' earbonic acid gas is suspected walk erect. Suck poisoned wounds, unless your mouth is sore; enlarge wounds, or, what is better, cut out the parts without delay; hold the wounded part as long as can be borne to a hot coal or end of a cigar. - In case of poisoning, incite vomiting by tickling the throat or by warm water and mustard. - For acid poisons, give alkalies; for alkaline poisons give acids—white of an egg is good in most cases; in cases of opium poisoning give strong coffee and keep moving. * i If in water float on the back with nose and mouth projecting. For apoplexy, raise the head and body: for fainting lay the person flat.

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU WRITE Your NAME.—It is a habit of many persons to thoughtlessly write their nameés on blank scraps of paper and leave them lie ca{lelessly about their office. This is a-dangerous practice and to our certain knowlédge in this county has been attended with serious financial difficulties. We will recite a case as related tous which occurred not many miles from our borough, as follows: A gentleman in practicing penmanship wrote his name upon a blank slip of paper, and leaving it lay upon - his desk, it attracted the attention of a neighbor, who in a ‘joking way filled the. space above the signature in the form of a promissory note, and a few days afterwards- presented the paper with the offer to allow a considerable discount if the drawer (as it would appear) would cash it at that time. The gentleman so requested saw the joke and so recognized it, and its holder placing it in his pocket departed, and nothing further was said about it. Subsequently the ' holder was suddenly stricken with paralysis and died, and his executors finding the note, and having no knowledge of the joke attached to it, brought suit and recovered the sum for which it was drawn ($500,) thus proving the dangerous habit of persons carelessly writing their names on blank scraps of paper.—Penn'a Ex. = 2 ‘

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington to The Boston Postsays that “within a few days it has been discovered ‘that all the archives of the War Department pertaining to the secret history of the Rebellion have been stolen. It is known that they were all in the War Office when Mr. Stanton retired. He had them systematically briefed and stowed away in a safe place, and had he lived and remained in public life they would probably have figured largely in preventing the appointment of men to office who have since shown that they were no better fitted for the Civil Service than they were for positions of trust and high command in the army. These private archives covered a period of time from the first Battle of Bull Run down to the surrender of Lee's army. They embraced orders for courts-martial with their findings, some of them. sentencing the offenders to be shot, records of which the people were ignorant.” bk
