Eacfa Ahani Cattle.

II a fact that all domestic animals con
bc improved in size and value. One hun
dred and fifty years ago. the average weight
OF cattle at the Smithtield market was not
over $40 pounds, and that OF the sheep SO
pounds. Now, the average weight of the
former is over 800 pounds, and of tho latter
80 pounds. .
The average weight of cattle properly
termed beeves in the New York market, is
about 700 pounds, and sheep SO pounds.
The average live weight of the heaviest
drove of beeves of 100 il number ever bro't
to this market, was 2,O67 pounds, weighed
from dry feeding, in Illinois, last spring.
The mode Of selling cattle in New York, is
90 much per pound for the estimated weight
Of meat contained in the four quarters. The
estimation is made upon the live weight Of
cattle as follows:
drover in buying lot of grass fed COM
mon stock in Illinois should never calculate
to get an estimate of over one half here of
the live weight there. That is, if the drove
average IL cwt., they will make cwt. OF
meat each.
Medium beeves may be estimated at 81 OF
SIS pounds per cwt. Good beeves at 56 OF
81 pounds. Extra good, large and fat, from
So to 62 pounds per cwt. So
In the Boston market, tho weight Is gener-
ally estimated upon GIVE quarters" that is
the product Of the meat, fat ard skin. There
the cattle are generally weighed, and tn.
product estimated upon an average, 81 10.

How TO PLANT CUCUMBERs, MELcNs AND
SouAsHEs, TO AVOID DESTRUCTION BY BUcs.-
As the cost of seedi is triding we have fer the
past few years ALWAYS succeeded in getting
good vines by the following process. Instead
Of planting seeds in hills ut the distance they
would ultimately be required to grow, We
have put in a large quantity over the whole
ground 80 that at first We had hundred
plants where only one was needed. Some
times we have had plant come up on every
two inches over the whole bed.
As fast az the expanding leaves OF The vines
interfere with each other We cut of the
weaker ones with pair Of shears 90 as not
to disturb the roots of those remaining. Tho
ssbugs'' have always materially assisted to
the thinning process, but we have never fail
ed to find twice or thrice tho number Of
plants are removed and solitary vine lief.
here and there has been enough to cover the
ground.
The same ground will yield much better by
having the vines at equal distances from
each other, than if two or three are left to-
gsthcr in the same, since the roots have more
room to grow, and they find a greater amount
of nourishment when thus isolated. The
quality.
1t should also be remembered that air and
light are essential to the growth and matur-
ity of the fruit; and it is better to occasion
ally cut out thrifty plant, than that the
ground be too densely covered. Just vines
enough to thckly cover the ground will pro-
duce better than double this number.-]A-
merican Agriculturist.

A SucoEsrIoN.--The want Of dwelling
housse at this point is felt to be an evil re-
tarding the growth Of Burlington. In con-
sequ, nee rents here have gone up to high
figure. In conversation with number OF
gentlemen yesterday, it was suggested thata
company be formed for the purpose Of build
ing two hundred houses. Many persons who
own lots are willing to become members at
once and put in the necessary lots at their
appraised value. If capitalists, judicious,
prudent men, would take hold Of it, put our
master builders At work, money thus invest
ed would bring as large per csntags as can
be made with equal certainty in any business
that can be named. There is no apprehen-
sion Of erecting too many aud thereby redu-
cling rents t" any great extent. 1t can't be
dsne. Pat up oil the houses that can be
erected during the season, and there will be
the same lack next spring as now. All the
business men and owners of property are in
tercsted. Every additional tenement will be
occupied and add to the value Of other prop
erty and increase the business Of the city
Spectators in city lots are curse to any
place and have retarded the growth of cities
more probably, than any other circumstance.
But the erection Of dwelling and business
houses, by enterprising men, at point they
arc 20 much needed as here, must inevitably
be felt in increased growth and thriving bps-
iuess.

BURLINGTON AND KEOKUK.-Thcse two RI

test for superiority through their papers,

they are both too near Mourn PLEASANT, to

advantage over Keokuk in one respect--As
soon az McCabe's addition is filed up-and
it now bids fair to soon be Sour citizens
contemplate adding Burlington to this place,
to be called the Burlington Addition
What say you, Burlingtonians, to the propo-
sision
The above is from our facetious neighbor
of the Mt. Pleasant Observer. As we are
NJ. of the number of Editors that pitch into
one another in regard to the rival claims of
Burlington and Keokuk, we suppose that
matter is none Of our business. But We
would like to know what Mr.. Mcfarland
means by pitching in on call fours" without
"blood shedv' We have heard Of sspitching
in,'' fgura.ively, personally and politically,
and seen good deal, but never reeollect no.
tic:ng any upon CALL fours'' before. Is that
the way it is done in "High Henry?"
As to the annexation, We confidently an
ticipate it will be SO far perfected, within
the year, 40 to have Burlington and Mt.
Pleasant but one short hour apart. As to
the r,st we leave that to time.

some Time aIter, one OF the gr0aSer scouts,
came in one evening, skeered half into fits,
and reported that the Camanches had just
encampel down on tother side of the Sewil-
Ter (Chibolo creek,) and would come into
town next morning, for them Injins were none
of yer sDe kin devils; they took the broad
day light for their rascality. Nuff sed, old
Joe screws up his greasers, mounts his gun,
takes master donkey along by the bride, and
by daylight they all got down on the Sewil-
Ter, just opposite th lnjins. The yaller bel
lies looked over and sees all the Mexicans
thar, but that didn't trouble them much, for
they knew that directly they gave the war
whoop, the greasers would be nowhere. Wal,
the yeller bellies gets on thar horses and
were coming on to the edge of the ravine,
when all at once they seen an ALFRED smoke,
then heered the bang, and saw lots Of their
comrades fall around them.
"The yal.er bellies stopped and looked, all
they could SEQ through the smoke, was the

AMERICAN JEws.-The San Francisco sun, in
an article upon the present condition of the Jews
closes with the following paragraphs
1.-The American jew is only less proud of his
country than his religion. To say he is o mere
dweller upon tho soil because It aifords him the
mrans of support is to libel the most noble traits
of his character. The graves of his ancestors
are around him. His heaven Is rs near to him
on the shores Of the Pacific as upon the sacred
Mount of Olives. or Within the classic walls OF
Jerusalem. His God is omnipotent, omniprrscnt
and omniscient. He has knct before that awful
presence alike on the deserts of Arabia and the
frozen zones of Siberia and why should he here,
where the law recognizes his religion and his po.
litcal privileges. withhold an affection To which
he is impelled by every consideration of prosper.
ity to himself and future happiness to his chill
dren His respect far our laws is shown in the
fact that he seldom violates them. His wealth
has gone towards building up and enriching our
cities. He quarrcls but little, heads mob-nev-
er. Iou will find him in our courts of Justice OF,
the bench, Mt the bar, in the jury box, but sel-
dom ever arragned for henous criminal OF
fence This is the American jew. Let his good
qualities be imitLted his bad ones should be for
gotten.
