BURNT TRAIN.

We regret - state, that train Of
wagons belonging to Messrs. Brown,
Russell Ss Co., freighted with govern
men, stores for Santa Fe, was destroyed
by fire on the % March, a, place near
Cheaulcau's Island on the Arkansas
river. The train consisted of twenty
eight wagons, al! of which, together
with their freight, were entirely con-
sumcd. The hands belonging to the
train, had to save themselves BY cross
ing the river. Ii was supposed that
The prairie was set on FIRE by the Paw
nee Indians, with whom some Of the
hands belonging TO The train, had had ii
prcvions difficulty. The amount of
| loss sustained, we 90 not know. We
have these particulars from George
Cranmer, assistan, wagon master for
the train. Ii is stated that the grass
for some distance around the correlle,
was so much beaten d Jwn by stock, that
the hands deemed everything safe, but
the high wind carried the fire a consid-
cradle distance TO the wagons, which
were dry, and took fire and burnt rap
idly.--LcTington Express.

"Did you know my departed broth.

"Ah, yes was deacon in his

.cnturc 10 assert that not one farmer in
twenty, throughou, the Mississippi valley.
affords any kind of shelter for cattle, and
the consequence is, cattle exposed 10 the
storms and cold require a double portion
of food; and even those that are fortunate
enough to get proper supply, are IN
much worse condition in the spring, and
consequently much less profitable than cat
tie properly housed.
Another thing in which farmers show
disregard oftheir own interests, is feeding
all sizes and ages together. Farmers who
follow this course calculate to lose one
third of,hcir calves during the " inter. A

thod, selfinterest alone should dictate
different course. Any one conversaut with |
the rules of arithmetic NAV calculate on
which side the profit lies Let any farmer
who raises cattle, sell sufficient number.

Dr.J VIC. Smith, writing from Swifzer-
land tothe Editor Of tho Boston Medical
Journal, says,
Immense crops arc raised hero OF ar
ticles wholly unknown TO tho American
farmers, and perhaps tho kinds best fitted
to the particular localities where grain and
potatoes yield poorly under the best effort:
On, of these is peoples. Thousands OF
acres are atrhis moment ready for market

he hurries by. are to be manufactured into

for medical use at all. but for a widely diff

is extensively used in house painting. 1t

demand for paints is increasing. With

Do MI things Well.

Mr. Editor-Farmcr, differ very much
in relation TO villa, it takes to make q good
farmer.
was converting with gentleman the
other day. who was looking at some Of my
agricultural implements and he remarked
that mine was much better made than his.
as he just throwcd his together any way
intimating that having heap of work TO
do, it was necessary To slight it a good
deal. II he had taken into consideration
the time he will necessarily lose in making
hisu,ensis over again, he would not,pcr-
haps, have made the remark.
Another gentleman said. If he could
make more cotton by cutting a weed half
III two, than by cutting it clean off, he
went in for doing it. That # was very
we'll pu, in. for no man can do ii. The ex-
periehcc Of the world, goes to prove. that
to keep out ofthe grassland cultivate much
10 the hand, it is indispensably necessary
TO do the work well at once. Others there
are who pride themselves on planting their
crop in a slovenly manner; they cant
take time TO prepare their land well before
planting" say they. but they can take time
TO get behind those who do prepare well,
when it comes to chopping out. and cult
waiting the crop.
And there are others who love TO see the
hip bones of their mules and horses stick
out" as they think it indicates man of
business-he is so thorough gong thai
he works his mules and horses to DEATH"
but | think. when see poor mules and
horses. that they have no, had that a'ten-
ton they should have. for my experience
goes to prove. that any sound mule or
horse. If fed well and regularly with
given amount, and attended to in other re-
spcci., can come nearer killing the hand
that works him, than itself. Yours,
SCRIBBLER.
