al Tm CHICAGO FAIR.-The Worlds Horse
Fair. at Chicago, was formally opened yesterday.
They are trying to make grand affair Of It,
but We judge the crowd will not be 20 large -
it would be in quister times. Men are likely to
care little for exhibitions Of horse flesh, while
rebel hordes are laundering at their doors, and
desolate their iiresides.

Mr. Archibald Glover lost man Of srest

Mr.. Frederick Temple lost seventeen Of his
most valuable slaves On Sunday night.
Many Of the people Of tho county have lost,
besides slaves, Ill their poultry, cattle and

MARAUDING CATTLE.

Cattle may be educated into almost
anything.
a quiet cow may be converted into a
skillful jumper in a single season. The
first requisite for such training is short
feed, resulting from over-stocking. The
second is low fences and the third.
tempting crops of corn beyond these
low fences. In the spring grass is
usually good, and other crops are small
and uninviting; but during some mid
summer periods, when pasture is dried
up, the process often begins. One or
two rails are accidentally knocked or
blown from the fence; the quiet and
orderly animals stretch their heads over
to reach morsel Of the tall grass ; they
throw down accidentally two or three
more rails, and finally leap over. The
owner drives them out as soon as they
have learned the difference between de-
icious food On one side and short COM
mons on the other, and puts up rail.
They have already learned to leap a
little, and the next day they improve
and 60 rail higher. Another rail is
added, and the process is repeated until
they become quite expert.
1t is now a very busy season, but the
farmer should not neglect his fences !;
if rails are thrown down, replace them
before the cattle find it out; keep
fences high at all times, and if the
animals should actually break through,
add rails enough to make the barrier
entirely imPregnable at once.

by day, and you will add one more link
to your chain Of pleasures. But first be
sure your seed was of royal birth and
not tainted by the influence of race
you would not care to perpetuate. Get
the seed Of choice fruit, plant it in a
choice place and give it choice care !;
" dig about it and dung it, and it will
not be a "cumberer Of the ground.
Another plea in favor Of seeding
trees, and this is applicable to all kind
Of trees, is that they are less likely to
cause trouble by sprouting at the root.
Nature acquires habits as well as indi-
viduals, and when the root is repeatedly
cut in order to induce new sprouts, such
roots acquire habit Of sprouting. In
the case of the cherry plum and locust,
this is often very vexatious.
All of our finest varieties OF fruit
have Of course come from the seed,
originally, and we believe if every cul-
tivator who has reasonable hope Of
remaining FIVE years where he now is,
would raise one or more fruit trees from
the seed, and do it as he should, he
would not only feel personally paid, but
would very materially benefit the public,
by aiding in the introduction of new
varieties of fruit. w.B.

Administering Medicine to Horses.

George Beaver writes thus to the
american .7griculturist: 81 consid-
er the usual method Of giving medicine
to horses by drenching, as it is called,
highly objectional. In this process the
horses head is raised and held up, a
bottle introduced into his mouth, his
tongue pulled out, and the liquid pour
ed down. In his struggle, some of the
medicine is quite likely to be drawn in
to his windpipe and lungs, and infama-
ton and fell results sometimes follow.
A better way is to mix the medicine
with meal or rye bran; make it into
balls, pull out the horses tongue, and
place ball as far in his mouth as pos
sible, then release his tongue, and he
will almost certainly swallow the ball.
Or the dose may be mixed with meal
and honey, or other substance that will
form kind Of jelly, placed upon
small wooden blade, made Of a single,
and thrust into the back part Of his
mouth, when he will very easy swallow
it.-Er.

Some Reasons for Keeping Sheep.

Sheep will bring a quick, sure and
good return for the labor and money
invested. In this respect they are nc
doubt preferable to any other species OF
stock, or any variety Of crop.
They are easily kept, and will thrive
where other animals would scarcely
make a living, requiring much less
feeding in winter than other stock.
They improve the land which they
occupy, by the even distribution Of theil
rich manure, and by keeping down the
growth Of briar, weeds and sprouts.
They increase rapidly; many Of the
ewes-often large majority Of them
will produce twins.
Each lamb, at five or six months old,
will be worth in market about So; or,
at little more than a year old, will
yield clip Of wool worth $3.50 to So.
Sheep yield an annual clip Of wool
Of three to six or more pounds per head
according to variety, worth now about
forty cents pound; always command
ing cash and a ready sale. For some
time to come, prices will rule higher
than formerly, owing to scarcity Of cot
ton and increased duty.
A pound of mutton can be produced
much cheaper than a pound of beef or
pork, often one-half cheaper. 1t gen.
orally brings better price than either,
and is confessedly more wholesome.
The extensive use Of fat, greasy bacon
in hot weather, is an abomination.
Smoked mutton ham is delicious, equal
to venison.
One hundred and fifty acres Of land
in this section, would be more than am
pie for the support of one thousand
sheep. Estimating the value of the
wool at $50 per head, and the annual
increase at 600, worth an average of
$3.50 per head, and we have $4,000, as
the annual income from 1000 sheep.
The estimate is too low for the best
varieties Of sheep near good market,
and perhaps too high for common breeds
distant from market. Wool can always
be marketed more economically than
any other farm produce. To dispose of
mutton to the best advantage requires
proximity to good market.
The foregoing reasons are submitted
by one who would like to see them cor
rected, if erroneous. If they are cor
rect, Will any other branch of farming
pay equally well Cor. Tdltey Far

Raising Fruit Trees from the Seed.

EDS. PRAIRIE FARMER Without
doing aught to discourage the cultiva-
ton of the best varieties of fruit,
would be glad to call attention to the
claims of seeding trees. l believe
with DR.. kennicott, that perfect accli-
nation can never take place except
through the seed, and therefore if We
wish those varieties of fruit which we
have known in other climates, but which
do not thrive in this climate, we must
Reproduce them from the seed. In
other words, seedlings of particular
locality are better adapted to that local
ity than any other varieties. Such
trees are of course more hardy and safe
every way; nature is always true to
herself, and when she originates new
tree she adapts it to the position in
which she places it. Besides being
more hardy, some fruits bear at an
earlier age than when grated.
There is peculiar attachment to the
work Of ones own efforts; we feel more
interest in the growth Of a tree which
we have watched from the first unfold
ing of two little leaves; and so to him
who desires to plant peach pit or
apple seeA, We say, do it by all means,
and nurse it and watch its growth day
