PROSPECTUS OF THE PRAIRIE FARMER
<FOR 1885,

TIME Prairie Farmer is the leading Agricul-
l. tural paper published in the Northwest.
1t holds that honest labor is the foundation of
all lasting prosperity, and that the working
man should be enlightened, honored and re-
warded The labors of the Prairie Farmer are
divided into three departments.
/. 1t strives to teach the best methods of i'm
proving the farm, its SOIL its buildings, its pro-
duets, its live stock, its convenience and its
comforts.
ii. 1t believes that fair prices for farm pro-
duets are just as essential to the farmers pros
peity as large crops and fat cattle 1t labors
to help him to secure the best market for his
products, and to prevent the middle man from
taking too much toll for his services.
H. 1t labors to enlarge his stock of IDEAS
to improve his understanding, and while avoid
ing partizan politics, to teach him true political
economy.
In addition to n vast amount of agricultural
information, the columns of the Prairie Farmer
give the news of the day, both home and foreign.
The variety is such, that a family need take no
other city paper, and yet be well informed on
the current events and topics of the day. The
art Of condedsing is practised, by which great
deal can be given in n small space.
One portion of the Prairie Farmer discusses
farming; n second gardening; a third mechanics;
fyurth household economy; a fifth the markets,
very full and accurate; sixth local news, and
news by telegraph and mail; seventh devoted
to interesting literary matter, and an eighth to
educational topics forthe young; to all of which
is added large number of excellent, practical,
and instructive communications, on various
topics, tao week. The Praire Farmer has a
larger circle of contributors than any other agr.
cultural paper in the United States. n

its readers, calling on them TO do a goosi

hope the people of Brooke and Hancoc
will give ear TO the request of the HerGl,
and sustain it well, for the Herald is
credit to those counties, and honestly an.

From the issue of yesterday, we clip the
following local items:

herds of Cassius ". and James CLAY, deS

tention bestowed upon the breeding of i'm
proved stocks of cattle in this region that
has been given to other stock. though
where efforts have been made in that di-
rection they have proved profitable to the
parties making them, which makes the
neglect the more singular.
CONSIDERABLE droves of sheen have
passed through town recently, en- route for
Texas. which bids fair to become the Edo
RADIO of sheep raiscrs. There appears at
this time to be quite an excitement in ia
Yor of wool growing in Texas, and hand
some profits have been realized on the sale
of stock taken from this section The
scarcity of provender, this season, also
acts as kind of impetus Texasward.

piles of the article daily to Wheeling for
use and shipment by railroad It com
mands readily 40 and 45c per bnshcl, and
where not affected by the frost is generally

idea of the people of Missouri spending the
same day in thanksgiving that the people

pose. The Republican said, referring to
the Northern States:
