While prp)uring for giirdon mid fioltl crops, do not neglect the nnimnlH nt the barn and nhctle. The cowa will soon be gin to Hincll tho green gnws whon they nro lot Into tho yards, and bo eager to get into tho pasture. Do not bo in too much hurry to let them out, but give them tho best curly cut hoy and a food .of roots oaoh day, which will assist in preparing tho system for a chungoof diet. When thoy arc let out, which should not bo before tho last of next month, unless in a few favorod locali ties, givo them n hearty fcod boforo turning them out, nnd let their stay bo short in tho pastures for tho first fow days, as tho exorciso thoy will get by a run in tho rmsturo will bo bottor for them than nil tho food thoy can got boforo May. Shcop should bo allowed to run out oach day, unless thero Is a cold rain, but should ho in tho shed nights for tho sako of tho lambs. At ono part of tho shed or yard, proparo an onclosuro with nn ontrun:o largo enough for tho lambs, but too smnll for tho sheop. and in it liavo a trough whero tho lambs may find a rdtion of meal, oats or wheat bran. Tho first is tho best if their desti nation is to bo aorved up with greon peas in Juno or July, but if thoy aro kopt to incrcaso tho Hock, ono of tho other grains is bottor as going to build up bono nnd musclo rather than fat. Tho owos which liavo lambs should certainly havo roots every day, and a littlo wheat bran ovory day, and a littlo wheat brnu nlso to keep up tho supply of milk for tho lambs. Ilrcnding bows also should bo well fod if thoy havo pigs wiiu them, nnd tho pigs taught to cat us early as possible skimmed milk, made thick with wheat bran, is nn oxcollont food for them. Do not givo tho sow much food until tho pigs nro about throo days old, and avoid giving tliom too much corn meal, as it is too heating, and may causa milk .fovcr, which kills nn many good hows as it does good cows. a making Meat Cheaply. Tho timo has passed whon choap moat production will bo mainly duo, as it has beon, to choap lauds and food that coU littlo or nothing. It is likely that in a long Heries of years, all kinds of meals will bo draror than thoy havo beon. If focdors gain, it will bo dm loss to natur al advantages for which thoy aro not ro spousiblo, than to thoir own skill and good management. Thoro is yet an immonxa deal to learn, as is .shown nt all tho fat stock exhibitions. Tho ani mals that take tho prizes as livo stock do not havo tho largest proportion of good moat whon dressed. In ovory cuso thero is too much wasto in tho extra fat that has to 1)0 out off and thrown nwny, or convortod to some Rocondary uho. Ono fact is pretty ilaln in any cstimnto of tho cost of making bcof. Tho gain from animals while going is put on at least expeuso per pound, and contains tho largest proportion of salablo moat. In u close summary of tho result of sovoral live-stock shows, it was found that tho gain of an nvorago oiuvyoar-old animal costs 1.0-1 cents jwr pound. From birth up to two years old, tho gain costs COS cents, while if feeding is continued up to three years old, the entire gain from birth costs 7.10 cents jht pound. It is certain that in the great majority of cases, feeding is continued long aftor it has ceased to pay. For nil stock not In tended for breeding purposos, tho best feed should bo given from birth up, and tho animal never be allowed to got too poor to butcher. Hut while very young the best food is that which promotes growth of the frame, rather than tho laving ou fat. A young animal thus fed will always havo a duo proportion of lean meat. Bkltu-MUk In KaUlnf Ctlrei. The following is my usual plan in icming calves from birth to two years of age : I wean tho calf when two or time days old, for tho reason that tho milk of n good Jersey is solicit that it Is apt to produce tho white scours, Tho milk of n holfer with flrttt calf of course is not so licit. Immediately after being weaned, the calf is given one-fourth wnim sklm-milk, mixed with three fourths pure milk, and thus fod twice a day until two weeks old, when it in given access to clover hay, which it soon learns to eat. If tho calf is doing well, 1 then begin to use a littlo outiiioal hlftCil ground onts will answer tho pur pce commencing with half a table epoouful nt a time, thoroughly scalded and mixed with the milk, 1 gradually inciviiho the portion of oatmeal until, nt tho age of three wcoks, it is taking a tablespoontul twice a day. I thou make the ration one-half skim-milk, and at tho end of tho fourth week I increase tho proportion of tho hkim-utilk also gradually, increasing tho oatmeal until', nt the end of tho fifth week, tho calf should bo eating skim-milk aud a half pint of oatmeal, besides hay. Of counso this diet is varied with the condition of tho individual calf ; somo calvos can bo put on skim-milk at four weeks old, while other may need some frcslrunilk until six or sovpn. weoks of age. Tho oatmeal ration may bo in creased, in the judgment of tho feeder, but if. is of vital importance tocommnnco using tho grain in very small quantities until Uio stomach of tho calf grows ac customed to It. For tho first four weeks, n calf should rather bo under-fed than overfed. When it is eight wcoks old and on good pnsture.it is rarely nec essary to givo anything with tho. skim milk, although a littlo oatmeal will do no hurm. Uso your judgment; if tho conditioh of t)to calf Booms to domad it, givo it. My calves nro kept in a "homo pas turo," which is apt to bo overstocked, and I goncrnlly continuo tho oatmeal until they nro throo or four months old. After that I simply givo thorn tho milk until thoy aro six or eight .mouths old or until nowly born calves como to need it. Tho inllueuco ou their growth is vory remarkable. Hut, it may bo asked, what nro tho pigs to do for milk? I answer, do not keep pigs. With the prico of grain that usually obtains in too cast, wo cannot m..S. I . I 1. auoru io Keep pigs , wo iuu uur iuin moro cheaply than wo can raiso it, with tho skim-milk thrown in. With us tho hog is only tho laboring-man's savings bank. To illustrate; A thrifty Gorman in my neighborhood, who works by tho day, haB managed tosccuro a littlo land on which ho has a vory modest homo. IIo has seven 'children; ho thoro is not much Hwill mado in his household. Ono autumn, noticing a pair of fat hogs in his pen, I inquired how hn could af ford to lecop hogs, having to buy all his grain; that his pork must cost him much moro than tho markot prico. IIo assented, but roplicd : "I buy a bag of feed every littlo whilo during tho yoar, and do not miss tho mouoy. If I did not do this, when winter came my inonoy would all bo used up for family oxponses, and I would havo no pigH nor money to buy with." To rosumo : "Whon tho calvos aro brought to tho barn in tho fall, six to eight months old, they rocelvo npoclal attention. Thoy aro fod "two or throo quarts a day of mixed corn moal and rice middlings tho latter ohomlcally considered about tho satno as whoat middlings, but usually less in price. Thoy aro young, and feel tho rigor of tho winter, henco I consider good caro and feed moro important thou than during their Hccond wintor. Thoy do not got fat, but grow and aro in splendid con dition to Htart tho noxt summer. Whon about a yorr old, nnd directly after tho May rnins, they nro turned out to pasture, and remain out night and dny until tho firstof Novombor, or lator, denoudingon tho stato of tho soaion. While nt pnsturo thoy do not got nn ounce of grain, and in tho fall thoy como to tho barn in oxcollont condition. A visitor last week remarked that thoy wero too fat. I said "no, I want my boilers at two years to got as fat as thoy may, though I do not feed, of courso, for beef." As soon ns thoy cnlvo tho fat goes into tho pall, in tho cn.o of milk ing families. I liko my holfors two years old at the timo of calving, to havo swelled udders. Klbow grease and erudo potroloum soon rcduco tho swel ling, whilo tho distention of tho udder at tho timo of first calving is very im portnnt in developing n habit of lnrgo milking. During thoir second winter and prior to calving, thoy nro not fed any moro heavily than during thoir first wintor, but thoy retain their llosh under tho rogiuio. With this method of rearing tho youngsters. I havo two-yoar-olds that I will matoh with any for sue. In fact, last spring when I had two or threo Hiioh in tho sales, they had such frames nnd udders that our friend Kellogg, tho auctioneer, called thorn cows and sold thorn as such. I did not correct his iniitako, but, all tho same, I thought it n littlo liardon the consignor to havo his two-year-old heifers sold as cows. A stunted calf rnroly makes a largo cow, aud it should bo kept in a growing con dition from birth. Tho natural fcod for tho calf is luiro milk, and if ono does not regard tho expense, and tho puro milk prove not tho rich, tho calf should havo its natural food, yet a littlo ox perienee will show that skim-milk and a littlo oat meal answers about as well. It must.be born in mind in using skim milk that it stiould bo of tho temper ature of milk fresh from tho cow. If too hot, it will produce colic; if too cold, tcours. Our skim-milk is icy cold, and wo usually hent n pan of it on the stove, nnd raiso tho temperature of tho remainder to tho proper standard by tho use of tho hot milk. G. W. Farleo. Tronton, N. J. Capital Grange, No. f10, Michigan, located at Lansing, had a "Legislative Kntortninmont and Banquet" a fow evenings since, at which wero presont tho otllcors of tho Stato Grange aud members of tho Order who are mom Iters of tho Legislature, aud other in vited guests, including Brother nnd Governor 0.

In vlow of tho fact that forests influonco tho rain fall, and sovnro drouths, drying Up of springs and Btrcams surely follow their unduo destruction thereby affecting tho gcnoral wolfaro of tho country, should not thoso who aid in preserving the amount necessary for tho gonornl good havo Bomo consideration over thoso who from their private pronorty rcceivo tho full results for their porsonal uao? Farmers frequently cut of thoir wood lands bocnuso thoy say thoy nro not pay ing and thoy cannot afford to pay tho taxes on thorn. In noarly all Luropean countries covcrnmont assumes control of and protects largo aroas of forest; schools ol loroatry aro mainiamcu uhu all for tho gonoral good. "Tho ovldenco appears thnt wo havo passed tho dull period in Grange history and aro notably on tho advance- with n moro detorminod purpose, with a clearer conception of tho moans to bo omploycd, and a bottor knowlcdgo of tho results to be gained through co-ojtoration. Dur ing tho period of scorning inaction and loss in numbors, n timo in which our enemies havo dorided us, and sought to doprcciato our morits and dosigns, tho principles havo boon growing upon tho affections, and tho plans for work in tho minds of our people, bo that wo now feel warranted in Baying that our future may safely bo rolicd on as ono of steady growth and prominont results. Tho words of Edward Everett, 'Wo nro tho architects of our own fortunes,' which wo wore wont to quoto to school boys and girls in tho past, is being rocognized as applicable to tho child of largor growth, and its toachlng applies to tho affairs of life, as an individual or a class." N. Zimmerman, Lecturer, Kan sas Stato Grange. At this samo mooting Prof. W. J. Boal, of tho Michigan Agricultural Oollego, for years an officer and earnest workor in this Capital Grango, now 12 years old, safd that thoy now had 250 mem bors, with prospects for moro during tho coming year. IIo nlso said : "Ono of tho best foatures of this Grango is tho largo proportion of young pcoplo among its mombors. I hnvo been n teaohor nil of my nctlvo lifo, and on you, young ladies and gontlemon, I wish especially at this timo to impress this idea. Do you asplro to political distinction, to occupy positions of honor and trust! Look at tho uuccoss of somo of thoso among you to-night, and be liovo mo whon I say thoro Is no hotter place in which to proparo to win success than by first gottlng a good education and thou doing hard work in a good Subordinate Grango. Do you wish to bo ablo to wiold a wholesomo influonco inHOciety in tho way of tompornnce, charity, good morals, good education? This is just tho placo to prepare for such work."
