As- the time approaches for her to drop the calf, I watch her carefolly, so as to r nder any assistance that may be required. Sometimes the life of a yaloable calf may be saved by a few moments of timely assistance. Tjie calf, when dropped, is allowed to remain with the mother for one week, and sometimes linger, aa jodg- ment m:y dictate. Some calves that are a little weak may require a moth'er' cire even lorger, but ordinarily a wciek will Auawer. The cow is then taken to her accastomed stall in the daiiy. I jJways remove the cow at night, and sh«s seldom mioses the c^l{ more than a day. Now for the calf. The firat time I undertake to fted it, I milk about one quirt from the mother, and generally ^ucccced in getting about tw9 thirds down â€" having sucked the night before, ii is not yet hungry enough to drink. At 1 i^ht about two qsiarts ia milked, and perhaps two-thirds will bo drunk. Gen- erally the third time they will drmk with- cut any trouble. After one week, in which 1 increase a little each day, but go slow, uLttl the third week, they are on a rati) n of half new and half dkimmed, and are fed three times a day â€" momiDg, noon acd liighb. They will do much better if ycuhave s!x qiarts of milk to give each calf â€" to give them two quarts three times a day â€" than to give them three quarts twice a day. Tiiis brings us up to the fivarth week, wii~n we disc: ntinue the new milk en- tirely, and feed only ski earned, and you may row feed tafeSy t iree quarts three times a d»y, and at noon a handf al of dry whrat b an is thrown in their dish aft,;.- tbij h^ro finished drinking.

With us, in some year% this ancient description of its last three days will apply to all the others that precede them. Tie thoughtful farmer will the more patiently endure tbe bluster of tbe month, if he thinks of the part these un- c r-mf ortable winds play in preparing his lands for the plow. A March wind ia proverbially a drying one and it takes up the moisture left by melting sniwa with an astoniahing rapidity. Theee winds are even fertiliziDg his fields. As they ripldiy remove the water from the sur- fac9, more comas up from bslow by cap- ilary attraction, bringing withit the plant- food it holds in solution as this in turn is evaporated, whatever it contains ia left in the soil, witbiu reach of the roots of the crops.

The blind engineer, John Metcalf, is one of the wonders of history. He was bom in 1717, at KnaresbDroogh. York- shire, England, the scene of Eigene Aram's famous crime. At six years he went blind, but disabiliry did not disable him. He helped steal birds' n'^sts and rob orchards, learned to ride, acquired a knowledge cf muEic, and was very fond of cock-fighting and other sports. Ia an old picture of a cock-pit the blind en- gineer ia saen betting on the game he C3uld not see. At twenty-one Me'calf was a young giant, over bIx feet in height, and inll of mischief. In 1745 he enlisted as a musi- cian in the army. He was a smuggler and a stage and wagon-owner in short, everything likely to turn to money in his hands. He contracted for and laid down some of the best roads in Yorkshire, bosiL- ing the j b himself. It is of him that a famous statesman of the time observed: 'Considering what this blind man can do, if he had his sight he would be the most useful man in the kingdom." Dr. Bew, who was personally acquaint- ed with Metcalf, in hia account of him Bsys "This man passed the younger part of his life aa a wagoner, and occasionally ai a guide in intricate roads during the night, or when the tracks were covered wiuh snow. His present occup^.ti 'U is thit of projector and surveyor of high V ays in diffi !ult and mountainous p«rts. With the asfcistance only of a staff 1 have several times met this man traversing the roads, ascanoing pTecipioes. exploring valleja, and investigating their eevarcd extents, forms and «i nations, so as to an- 8 ?er his designs in the beat manner. The plans which he dosigns and the esoimitea he maRes are done in a method pecoliar to him'^elt, and which he can not well convey the cleaning of to others. His abilities in this recpacj are, nevertheless, S3 great that he fiada constant emploj- ment." m »»» â- ' .. Headless Officers in the Soudan.

"We'll tie our horaes here then I'll surround him and drive him down that ravine, and yuu can hide at the moiith and shoot him when he cmes out." The plan looked feasible to us, and we concealed ourselves near the mouth of the ravine and waited, with our hearts in our mouths, for the noble game. The capWn had about a mile to go to round him up, and we were getting awfully impatient, when suddenly we heard a great rushing sound in the ra- vine, and soon the gigintic animal came forth crashing thrrugh the brush that lined tha ravine. We only got a gdrnpse of him, but that was enough, and we both fired and had the satisfaction of seeing him stagger f trsrard through the brash a few^ steps and fall â€" the noblest game huntsmen ever brought down. We raisfld a shout of trinmph and started to- ward our prey, when we heard a great hallooing, and looking up the bill saw the captain running down toward us waving hia hands and sboutiog at the top of his voice. We thought something was the matter, and waited for him. The first words-he used, as he ran ap breath- less, were "You are fools you didn't sfoot him, dil you 1" "You bet we did," I replied.
