road, whether the a. l6ple of the country A.
Road, or not To this question, answer acea0.
We want the Railroad because we are farmers and
need it to carry our poduce to market We want it,
because it will increase the value of our property
We want it. because it is local well as public
benefit. Wcwant it, because as citizens, we want
our name and character to rank with the name and
character of the citizens of other counties in our
St or progress and enterprise. In short, we want
h. MISE we cannot well do without it, and in view
of these facts it is the duty of the farmers along the
line OF the Road to contribute literally as their
circumstances will permit, for the building of the
Road Those who are able to take stock in the road
should do it, And should there be any who are un.
able to take stock to the amount of ore share let
them give, rather lend to the read whatever they
spare, for it certainly will accrue back to them
again. They will east their bread upon the waters
70 return to them after many days. There is not
man in the County who owns 40 acres of land, but
who viii be benefited by the Railroad more or less
Th0n. why net every man contribute something to
that which s going TO raise his property and make
iip richer. Already we can see the benefit that 9th
er Turning districts are receiving from their railroads,
and should we hold back the assistance give7
and be dragging our horses and cattle through mud
and oversfrczen hubs, to get what We raise to
kets For my part, am tired of it, and will give
what can spare to be rid such toilsome business
and am satisfied, if every farmer comes up to the
work, he should, the railroad will be built and
ready, by anot4cr fallfto carry our produce to Ke
nosha, where their facilities for market cannot be
beaten. The citizens Of Kenosha deserve great cred
it, certainly for what they have already done in
building the Harbor, and in the effort they have
made, and are still making to build the railroad
Both the Harder and Railroad improvements, are
Essential benefits to the farming community of this
County. Ant in view of these facts, knowing what
kenosha'has done for u.s. wei, as for themselves,
for, certainly, it's much, if not benefit to
us farmers &c for the citizens of Kenosha,l would
say, come brother formers, come up to the work
give helping hand. Let us put our shoulders 10
the wheel and help cur brother Kenoshans push the
car on the track. We are certainly bonnd together
by one common interest, people OF one county,
and should give orr mite to prosaote the interest of
both City and Country And here let me say, that
if the people Of the country do not stand in their own
light, the Road viii be built; and cs well as they
viii share in the benefits that must accrue from its
construction, May VIC not hope then, that such viii
be the case, and that speedily l hope to hear the
the Tribune + Telegraph, or otherwise, by holding
meetings and telling what they will do.

THE MAILS.

We alluded last week to the condition of the
mail service between Chicago and Milwaukee.
Since then attention has been called to an
article in the Chicago Times, from which we make
the appended extract. 1t goes to confirm the
opinion we expressed that the offer of the depart
ment to the Company was paying one, and not
only that, but that the department cannot and
ought not TO pay any more The Company, it
strikes us, will find it to thsxs Interest to carry

road is los pounds average weight
of the mail sent D. lneha road fs 2720
pounds daily; by the Rock Island roads2 OLA
pounds daily; by the Chicago and Blu gtop
road, 1910 pounds daily.
All these roads receive one hundred dolA
per mile for their heavy mails While the Lake
Shore road, which will have to carry n mail not
equal to one-half of the Galena, and barely ex-
eeeding one half of the Rock Island, and not
two thirds of the.uRprington, demands, and
will not carry the nat all unless it receives,

EeId TDepartment, which, in its 9f-
forts lids kfilroad service whenever possible
hssSe&eeeded its revenues to the amount of five
is asked an increasa3e price of 50'per
cent. The Department offe!SlA1 and more than
its revenues will pay it cannot increase that al
lowance in this case, under the circumstance;
and the alternative is, that the people Of Wis
consin must submit to the loss and inconvenience
which this Lake Shore road openly, impudently
and w ntonly iuhicts upon them. Railroad

A Coon Cow.-Mr. Wooster b.
Seymour of this town exhibited a
native COW at the late lIatroad
County Fair, which he certified as
giving on an average 20 quarts OF
milk per day, and making l5d
pounds of butter per week, from the
first of November to the first of May.
The butter was sold at 81 cents per
h., and the milk after being skim
med at 2 cents per quart, thus aver
aging nearly IS per week. 1t ought
to be borne in mind that this was
in the six lointer months, as they
are usually called, when COW will
not give as great quantity of milk
nor the milk yield as much butter
as in summer.
The Agricultural Committee say
in their Report that Mr.. Seymour
brought the best of evidence in sup

PRoFITs OF FARMiNG.-While
some OF your correspondents are dis
cussing the "proiits OF the farm" |
think there is one point, to ne all
important, for which they fail to
make an estimate. The comforts of
lille, which some callings bestow over
and above others, cannot be well es-
timated by dollars and cents. To me
this IL one great source of profit, that
for the deIcacles of the table, many
Of them at least, am not dependent
upon the market of town, which too
often furnish them in wthercd and
diseased state. The bounlles OF
Nature do not come to the farmer
second-handed. He has the first
choice IN the largest stall of Natures
great market house, and, we might
add, without money and without
price. Added to the above is the re-
lease from caro- and anxiety incident
TO many calllngs, where his whole
fortune may be involved in the turn
OF the markets or of the winds
and the waves. The main part Of
the capital of the farm being IN land,
with the slightest economy in man
agement, cannot take wings to IT'S
self and fly away y while we may de-
rive some of the educational and
other privileges pertaining TO the
town, as compensation, our families
are safe from the thousand tempta-
iuus consequent uPun nrv ~..L
business there. Let us, then, brother
farmers, as we look over receipts for
the past year, consider that although
drouth may have cut short our sup
plies, the first choice of what there
IS, is for us; and though all The
polished Igraces Of the professions
may moi be for US, still we may be
fHdeDeneHt men.
