Better Cattle Demanded One of the most important evidences that farmers generally aro now de-irous of having better cattle, is seen in the fact that when, now and then, at a sale of pure bred-, a fow shapely grades aro of fered, Iho-e are usually taken readily, the hiddint: being lively, with no com pliments from Jthe auctioneer required. On such an occasion, the juices for this ela.-s of cattle come well up to those ob tained for tho plainer sorts of pure bieiK In fact, they sometimes go a lit tle beyond uninviting specimens of tho latter. This comes partly from the fact that the muss of farmers do not care to keep i ecorded cattle. They have little faith in their ability to couiieto with regular breeders in selling their increa-o besides not being accustomed to that class of cleiical work which would ren der them coniH'tent to keep correct ro couls. At loiist they soom to doubt their ability in this direction. What stronger endorsement could breeders ask for, as compensation for the painstaking caie of a century, than that tho giades of a given breed are always wanted at paying prices, providing tho grading up has been successful in bring ing out the evidences that all men want, namely, advancing individual merit' This is the highest proof that any one not a breeder of improved cattlo can have of the advantages that accrue from build ing up and carefully maintaining the bighc-t class specimens of the several bleed-. These shapely, thiek-ilcshed guides aio the ety essence ot health and vigor, combined with the chaiacteiistics of the pure-broil in quite a degree. Na tional Livestock Journal. Hearing Calves. A daiiviiiau well known (or bis suc cess in jeaiing calves, says: "A calf should never be peiinitted to go back in its growth. A week's gain may be lost in a day. As the cold weather approeh es, tbe calves should 1k sheltered at night and on stormy days, and as the glass fades and the sere and yellow leaf begins to prevail, extra feed will be re quired. The calf should go into winter quarters in the Invt condition, that is, not the fattest ami plumpe-t, but the most healthful and robust. Then warm lodging and regular feeding of cut hay and one pint or quait of bran daily will biiug it in lino older up to fifteen mouths, when it may be bred. If its siie is a good bull, I would brood it to bun. Tins will doubly lix the good points in the progenv. If the calf ihalf bred, the next calf is tlin'c-qiiaitcis , niul us the K'tter blood inci eases, any bad qualities ilecie.iso. Clo-e breeding is needed to lix good qualities on grades and to build up an unproved herd. Hut tho old bull should Ixt used, and not a half brother to tlioYalf. Two halfdiroeds produce only hulf-hivcds, while half breeds and pure produce throe quarter broods, and so noarlv approach tbe pure brood every time. 1 would not hesitate to brood a young heifer to its ire, grand sire, or giiMt-grandsire, and so on; up to six orosM's, if the sire proved to lm what I wanted and I should exjvect every calf to Iv K'tter than its dam ' VAMT LA.M.

He vvho loves a home and is worthy of it strives to make it cheerful and beauti ful. A homo is not a home unless it is pleasant and attractive, and wc should make it so. To do thi' h, perhaps, most difficult, and is certainly most impor tant in winter, when the days mo dreary and the evenings tedious. In this work we will find no aids more effoctivo and easily employed than flowers. They cheer and beautify wherever they are. Uy them the otherwise barest room is given no mean grace and bsauty. Tho culture of flowers is a work in which children may, and should engage. Wc naturally associate children and flowers together, and each seems to de light in tbe other. These two are ever presont in our conceptions of heaven, whose dearest offspring they arc. Tho culture of flowers will give children a vast amount of useful information; teach them lessons of thrift and industry ; de vclopc the mind and strengthen the body; and, perhaps, more important than any of these, will be the formation of tho habit of close observation. As tho season of out-door blooming is drawing to a close, wo suggest that our leauors arrange ior winter nioonuug. Tho bulbous flowering plants make splendid indoor winter bloomers and no other class of plants has blossoms as deli cately tinted or so large in proportion to tho size of tho plant. Of this class the Hyacinths stand higbe-t in our estima tion and we shall speak of tho culture of them only heio, possibly taking up tho other llovvoring bulbous plants in a future issue. Tho most troublesome, and at the sanio time the most important, mattor in the culture of hyacinths, is the pro curement of good bulbs. Tho largest bulbs are raroly the best. Select fair sized bulbs with a good, funi crown, lie sure to get Holland bulbs that are Hol land bulbs. Conlnionco planting bulbs now and plant at intervals till January. In this way you can have blossoms all winter. The hyacinth is in no hurry to grow until tho lirst ot JLeeomlor, but al ter that season its hasto increases as tinio advances. A hyacinth planted the first of November will take tureo months in blooming; one planted in January will flower in thirty days. Soil for hyacinths should bo rich and contain a large pro portion of sand. A good soil is mado by mixing equal parts of sand, loam, and cow manure. Place some pieces of broken crockery, or what is better, char coal, in the bottom of oach pot. Keep tho soil well saturated with moisture, but not too wet. A pot four or live in ches in diameter is largo enough for one plant ; ono six inches in diameter is largo enough for two ; and ono twelvo inches in diamoter for ten. Do not force the bulb into tho soil but make a place for it in tho pot with tho tingors. Tho upper surface of tho bulb should jnst show above tho soil. Or for wintor blooming the bulbs may be started in water. Let tho base of tho bulb just touch tho water and replenish it as it is romoved by evaporation. Tho bulbs should bo kept in a cool, dark place till it couplo of wocks before itis desired that they shall flower. In such a place tho root forma tion will develop though tboro will bo very little top formed. Somo days be fore tho blossoms aro wanted remove tho plant to a room whero the tomperaturo is a little less than 70 degrees. Komom ber that it is u native of a cool, moist cli mate and that our living rooms aro gen erally too dry and hot for it to do well. Theso conditions will shorten its period of blossoming to a few days. The dry ness of the atinosphcro may bo corrected by keeping a vessel of water in the room, on a stove if imssible. Tbe Sunflower as an Industrial Plant. It may not be generally known that sunflower (Ileliaiithus animus) which bus lately been brought into such noto riety by the "lesthetie" school, has con siderable claims to attention fiom au in dustrial point of view. Its somewhat nut-like seeds or us Haron Ferdinand von Midler describes them, "seed-like nutlets" ntlbrd an excellent oil, which is not only u.-efnl ns u lubricant for ma chinery, but is one of the best table oils. The MH'd, again, afford admirable food for jxmltry, tbe stocks furnish a good tex tile tlKr, and the blossom yields a bril limit, lasting yellow dyu. So highly doe Union von Midler think of the vir tue of the plant that be includes it in bis ht of selected plant suitable for ac climation and industiial cultivation in the Colony of Vietoiia. As much n titty busbeU of n-cdliugf have been ob tained from .in acre ni giuund, under favorable condition', and as much as tiftv gallons of oil cn bo pre-fcd from Mudt a erop. When be stmcs that about m. pounds of seed! are ltijuirvd 10 sow an aciv. from which uih an enemum return is pos-iblc, it i --euively surpris ing to be told that the return from a siuillowcr field i attained within a few month.." The jilanu. the s;nio.uiiherity Mates, prefer calcareous so.i liarou on M tiller, however, bar. not by any means exhausted the list ol mue-. which the plant posevos. The Chilli v. wliobae so appreciated its propoitie-at. to iwit liber in adulterating auddveiu;; their silk fubiics, uml its oil not only as a In bricaut but ns an illumlnaut state thai his dowei Mipply the iv-t be food, and that the 'vuku ' left after orcein.' the oil is Urior to linsveil cake as a food foj cattle. The leau's urv also employed . m substitute for or mixing with tobacco and as an ingrodictit 'iiPVup manufao- turetbo oil is highly prized. Infaco of ucli testimony to its good qualities, itis interesting to know that several acres of land are to be sown with sunflowers in the Thames valley next year. Will the 'ic-thetes" discard the flower as asymbol of their faith when they find it is actu ally turned to commercial purposes? Colonies and India. Seed Sown In Autumn. Most people have observed, no doubt, says James Vick, that self-sown seeds, that i-i, seeds that have dropped from the growing plants of the previous season, sometimes produce the strongest and most healthy plants, that bloom tho most freely. This is true of several kinds, and particularly of those that suffer under ex posure to our midsummer suns. The reason is that self-sown seeds get a very healthy growth in the spring, vegetating as soon as the frost is gone, and are good sized plants at tho time wo usually put seed in the ground, even if they do not start in the fall. They thus mature and flower during the cool weather of spring The clarkias and nempoholias and an nual larkspurs are noted oxamples. There aro also soverel varieties of hardy annuals which do well with spring sow ing that will bear autumn sowing in the open ground, and reward us with early spring flowers. Sweet alyssum and white cady-tuft will give us abundance of white for early cutting, if sown in the autumn. In a sandy soil the portulaca may bo sown in autumn with good suc cess, seeus ot oienniats anu perennials, if sown early enough to produce strong little plants, will flower the next sum mer. Tansies and Chinese pinks.though they bloom the first bummer if sown in the spring, will make much stronger plants and flower more freely and earlier if young plants aio grown in tho au tumn. Boston Budget. Removo the Old Canes. Charles A. Green, ono of the best fruit growers, says ho used to think it of little consequence when the old canes of black caps wore romoved. But recent experi ence and experiment has convinced him that they should be removed as soon as the fruit is gathered. The old canes may be cut easily with a shnrp hook attached to a handle two feet long, and aftor they are romoved and burned tho field may bo more freely cultivated than if they wero still in the way. But aside from this, the old canes ap pear to draw on the vitality of the plant and seriously affect its subsequent capac ity for bearing fruit. It is now held by scientific men that a dead branch ex hausts tho vitality of tho tieo as much as though alive. The dead canes on rasp berry bushes would appear to affect them in like manner. Bushes not clearptl of old canes produce small, defective cvumti lingspecimons. Thefirstyearor two the bushes are not so seriously affected. Hereaf tor wo will trim ours as soon as tho fruit is gathered, sweep them out of tho spaces between rows with a one horse rake, similar to a steel-toothed hay rako cut very short and no wheels, and savo the ashes. Pitting Potatoes. Tutting potatoes in pits to preserve through tbe winter was formerly more practiced than at the present day. Some may ln tempted to keep their potatoes over in hopes of obtaining better prices in the spring, and some will resort to pitting. There is usually more or less risk attendnnt on this mode of preserv ing jiotatocs, but where hiieeessful the potatoes como out fresher and better than whon kept as ordinarily in n dry, warmish cellar. Select a dry, well drained location for the pit, and excavate according to the quantity to lx kept, on ground whore water will run from it. Lino this pit with straight, long straw, on bottom and sides, one cr twii inches thick, then put in the potatoes, not to exceed three feet in depth ; cover them with two or three inches of ti.nv,laid on in courses, and over this thiovv earth, plncinj; a wisp of btravv in the ape for a ventilator. Bo careful not ii.iovnr the potatoes too deep, or to leav e the jot tin ventilated, or there may be a pit 01 lot ton potatoes next spring. l'otau s keep best when kept at lis low unipuature as possible without fieeziiig. If kept dry they will stand quite low timptni ture before fiveying, Mof-ture louden--ing on them will tend to their tieezmg or rotting. If the pit be veuulated the moisture past-e.. oil' and they will stand a lower temperature and yet be pie.-erv-ed. Country Uentleman.
