WOOL.

This subject was discussed somewhat
Our farmers are waking up to this important
bfanci, of husbandry. Iowa, in 1869, had
clip OF 642, 234 lbs. She will add one-third
more to the aggregate for 1861. Size had in
1860, 245,720 sheep; CT this amount Black
Hawk county had HOS sheep, producing
1888 lbs of wool. This wool subject shall be
vigorously advocated in the columns of the
Field and Garden.

lGRtCULTGRE.

There is disposition aIneng sorne of The
members to withhold the annual appropria-
tons to the State and County Societies.
This we consider wrong. We ask, what
other interest have we to foster but Agricul-
ture? 1t is the greatest interest Of the State
nay, greater than all other interests COM
bined. Then we hope notti.AsH will be done
to cripple the interests of farmers, but let
legislation tend to strengthen the hands and
hearts of those who have the great work o.
advancing the noblest and best pursuit on
earth We hope the time is not far distant
when there will he established permanent
department or bureau of Agriculture at
Washington. 1t deserves department, and
we earnestly hope the day will soon come
when Agriculture will receive more attention.
SHEEP.
Iowa farmers are becoming alive to the
growing Of wool. We conversed with some
thirty gentlemen, from all parts OF the State
the most of them Presidents of County So
ceties, in relation to this matter, and al!
"
say it is the business for our State. In wheat
regions there is no stock that will so well pay
the farmers as sheep, and in fact on almost
any farm, sheep are valuable. The story Of
the golden fleece is no longer fable, for
every year produces millions. They are not
literally golden, but they bring gold to the
farmers pocket 1t appears that this sub
ject is now being more properly understood
in all parts Of the Union. We hope these
few remarks may call out the experience of
some of our wool growers Our readers may
expect at least one article on wool growing
We intend to make portion If our columns
decidedly teooliy.

COTTON AND FLAX.

COTTON AND FLAX.
We must have something to take the place
OF Southern cotton. Can we raise cotton in
the North? Is question often asked We
are gla! that efforts will be made for
the growing of cotton in Southern Illinois,
and the Southern part of our State. The
officers of the Illinois Central Railroad Co.,
are preparing to do all that their position
warrants, in the way of encouraging the
growing of cotton along the line of their
road. TIE testimony which they have gath
cred, seems to have satisfied them that the
staple can be grown in illinois. At present
market rates the product of each acre would
be, when baled and ready for sale, about one
hundred and sixty dollars. A pecuuiary
temptation to men who are raising corn at
ten cents per bushcl. Cotton was once the
product of every homestead in Central and
Southern Illinois and is again to take its
place among the field crops. Thousands of
acres will present the rich blossoms to greet
the first zephyrs Of summer. and the August
sun shall open out the downy staple, offering
the first picking Of the season to the hand of
free labor. We have a fine specimen of cot
ton grown near Burlington, in this State
1t was from crop of GOO pounds, showing
that it can be grown successfully in our
State. 1t can be seen at the Horticultural
Rooms. The Illinois Central Railroad will
experiment with cotton the coming season.
We clip the following from the Cincinnati
Times:
1t is also INTENDED 70 make series of ex.
pern.ents for accimating thu cotton plant,
so shat 1t may ripen in all the States as far
North as Ottawa, which will be undertaken
by private individuals. Planting, this year.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT-A practical homi-
" on the terrible effects which sometimes
attend the careless use of firearms, occurred
in this city last Saturday evening. Mark
Foster, young machinist, employed at the
street foundry, had been attending tur-
key shooting with several other persons,
and on their return the party landed at
Agricultural Hall, corner Of M and Sixth
streets. Foster took hold of No. 10 shot
gun, heavily loaded, by the muzzle for the
purpose of removing It from the boat, and
while doing so the piece exploded, the hea-
Wy charge striking the left arm near the
shoulder. and in its course shattering the
bone and badly lacerating the flesh. Part
of the charge struck the wall of Agrcultur-
al Hall aud left marks showing plainly the
force with which it had been projected
Foster suffered the most excrutiating pain
and called on those near to kill him, that
he might be relieved Of his misery. The
wounded man was taken to his residence.
at the United States on Front street between
J and X, and there he was attended by Drs.
Montgomery and Simmons, and those sur
geons fear that amputatiOn of the injured
limb may become necessary.-[ Sac. Bee.

The CoLoRED Folks AT PRAYER.-In re-
sponse to published call, about two dozen
colored persons of both sexes assembled at
twelve o'clock yesterday in the Scott.street
(colored) Methodist Episcopal church, to
beseech the aid of the Almighty in behalf of
a bill now before the State Senate for the
repeal of the law inhibiting persons with ne
gro blood from iestifying in courts of law
against white citizens. Two Caucassians
we're present-a fervid little Englishmen,
who opened the proceedings with prayer,
and the ubiquitous reporter of the Morning
Call. A man who appeared to be pastor of
the Church, made few brief remarks, In
teligaully expressed, explaining the object
of the meeting. AS the law now stands he
said, any white scoundrel could enter that
church, at that moment, and were it not for
the presence of the two white persons 10 at
tendance, could murder any one among the
audience without fear of legal punishment,
for none of the other spectators could testi-
| fy against him; and so might any white
man enter the domicile of any colored fam
lily and commit almost any offence without
fear of detection, for the same reason. A
hymn was then sung, after which such as
were so moved were invited to offer up
prayer. The invitation was accepted, but
more generally by the females who prayed
with such energy and quaintness of Ian
guage that the scene would have been ludi-
crous were not the real sincerity of the pc
titiOners so obvious. One woman regretted
the small attendance, and observed that
until the sons and daughters of Africa
should learn to unite with some determina-
tion for their rights, they could scarcely
hope to burst the bands by which for so
long they have been bound hand and foot.

Cashmere Goats.

The following remarks on The subject OF
the Cashmere Goat are from the address of
E. S. Holden, President of the San Joaquin
Agricultural Society;
would recommend that the farmers and
other citizens of this district direct their
particular attention to the propagation of
the Cashmere Goat. Two of these costly
and beautiful animals have been recently
imported to this county by Mr.. VIM. Land
rum, and are direct from the focks of Mr..
r. Peters of Georgia who was the first 10
import the invaluable animal from its ma
tive country, Turkey in Asia, where il
abOunds upon the northern slope of the
Himalaya Mountains. The superb and al
most imperishable Cashmere shawls, worth
from $1,000 TO $4,000, are made from its
fleecej as, also, are many other rich and
costly fabrics. The fleece sells readily in
New York at $8 so per pound; and in one
section of its native country eighty thou
sand pounds are made annually, which sell
at almost fabulous prices. California is
peculiarly adapted both to The constitution
and 1eece of this goat, which will thrive
well either upon our arid plains or high
up In the mountains, its natural food being
the inferior grasses, briars and coarse
browse. 1t Is hardy, long.lived, very pro-
life, and breeds readily with our common
got, and second cross yielding firm and
beautiful fleece worth 81 per pound; the
third cross producing an animal to all ap-
pearances the equal of the full blooded ami
NAL; and fleece worth 81 per pound. The
pure blood doe yields from four to six lbs;
the buck from seven to eight pounds, worth
So so per pound, or Sll0 so per pair, with
Gales ready and certain. The flesh is supe-
rior to mutton, being tender and delicious;
and in this State the goats can be raised
without cost, living where sheep cannot be
sustained; are free from disease; are not
liable to injury by dogs being able and
willing to defend themselves; are very do
mestic, one herdsman can take care of sew
eral thousand; do not degenerate 10 their
progeny, but mprove-particularl in
Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina
where they were first introduced
fleece becoming heavier and of q finer quail
ity. If the Southern States are so we'll
adapted to their full development, Califor-
Dia should excel, and their introduction
here is a great acquisition, as we'll as a safe
sure and profitable speculation for our
stock-raisers, and will, in few years, add
millions TO our fast increasing wealth. The
Cashmere or Shawl Goat is considered by
naturalists to be the most perfect variety Of
their species. Every encouragement should
be extended to this new, safe and profta.
ble enterprise.

SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN JOSE RAILROAD.
The Directors of the San Jose and San
Francesca Railroad have made a report,
from which it appears that 35 miles of the
road is ready for the ties; purchase has
been made for all of the iron, rolling stock,
etc. and upon its arrival there is due
$3.50 600 from stockholders. The purchas-
es have been made by the Directors from
their private resources, and upon the
strength of these statements the county OF
Santa Clara has ordered an issuance of a
second instalment Of bonds in the amount
of $50, 900, as provided by law.

road as being very much obstructed by
snow-drifts, especially on the eastern sum

One Of the employees of the Government
Printing Office, formerly the publisher of
paper in Indiana, has been detected 10 steal
ing type from the establishment. Invariably
witbsa large carpet. bag, be came early and
stayed late. Obtaining access to the de-
pository of new material, every opportuni-
ty was improved to convey type from the
Office to his clearinghouse. Recently one
of the workmen had the curiosity to pick
the carpet-bag up, when be found It difficult
to lift it from the floor. Suspicion
was aroused, and watch was instituted
upon his movements The next morning
early be came to the Office as usual. CARPET
bag 10 band, ready to pack up another lot
for removal in the evening. The watchman
detected him in the act of placing packages
of type in the bag, and informed the fore
man, who accused him of the theft, which
be did not deny. A search of the boarding
house was then made, and, secreted under
a pile Of ashes. in an clubhouse, lot of
new type was found, aud in the sink anoth-

SYMPATHETIC AcroN.-A singular case
is noted 10 the Cairo hospital among the
wounded at Belmont. One man was shot
in the right leg and had to have it ampu.
tated. Sympathetic action at once took
place in the other limb, and at precisely
the same spot where the knife he'd severed
its fellow, similar pain was felt. So severe
did this become that the leg is bandaged
and treated as If itself wounded.
