Liberality in providing utensils is the

profitable are they.
So almost is it with his working cattle
and stock. The most perfect in their
kinds are ever the most profitable.
Liberality in good barns and warm
shelter is the source of health, strength,
and comfort to animals, causes them to
thrive on less food, and secures from

TIE "FARM AND FIRESIDE."

We have received the first number OF
a Pennsylvania Agricultural journal
bavinr the above title. The editors,
evidently acquainted with the work
they have undertaken, after presenting
their enterprise to the public and invi-
ting their rural friends to aid them, say:
"We pledge ourselves to make a jour
nal worthy of the great agricultural
community-a valuable compendium of
rural intelligence, pleasant companion
to the farmer, gardener or stock raiser;
an instructor of their families and a de-
fender of their manifold interests"
There is something neat aud novel in
the makeup of this journal and speak,

most critical. The only Agricultural
paper published In the State, it should
be patronized as home institution

If the farmer has both hay and grain,
it is better to feed a portion OF the grain
in this way, ground into meal, than to
sell it-selling a portion of his hay in
stead, if either must be disposed of. The

HOW TO MAKE BOTH ENDS MEET
Mr.. Johnson says that he has noticed
That those farmers who have the most
difficulty to make both ends meet, al
ways plow the most and keep the most
stock. Now these men take the true
plan to keep themselves always poor,
and bring in little. " is good profit to
raise three hRndred bushels OF wheat
from ten acre3,-but when it takes
thirty acres to raise that amount. it is
rused at loss. So it is with cattle and
sheep. You will see the thinking farmer
m king four years old steers worth from
$50 to $50 each, aud his ne,ghbor's at
the same age, not worth over $2l 30
$40 II his land is exhausted, end a
great many farms are--thcn he should
plough no more than he could thor-
ouyhly mlnure. Seed with clover and
grass, and let it rest fer even two years,
aud that fed will not only pay well for
tillage, but will furnish manuresit rightly
managed) to make another ield Of the
same richness, also. 1t is bad policy
when a fell is once highly manured, to
keep cropping with grain until it is used
up. The latter end OF the land will be
worse than the first But the land
lay in the clover, even one year; but
two are better after 1t is manurad. then
it will stand. perhaps. six good crops
before it requires manuring; if clay sub

tonal so no power less than that of the nation was
sufficient to accomplish it, and large as the cost
necessarily would he. the expenditure would save a
much greater cost to the country But the Govern
ment did not wish TO enter upon any new system OF

only alternative was to grant its aid in the most
careful manner TO such responsible individuals Of

THE COMPANYs CHARTER AND ROUTE.
This charter was granted and perfected by various
acts of Congress- and the Company comprise men of
the highest reputation for integrity, wealth. and
business experience Among the officers General
John A. Dix President, Thomas c. Durant, Vice
President, and the Hon. John J. Cisco late Assistant
Treasurer of the U. s., Treasurer.
The Capital authorized by the Charter is One
Hundred Million Dollars of which it is estimated
that not exceeding Twenty-Five Millions viii he re.
qured and of which Five Millions have already been
paid in.
Surveying parties were at once pushed out in yari-
directions across the continent to find and locate
the best available line between the Missouri River
and the Pacific Ocean. This was established at
Omaha, in Nebraska. the east, and will finally he

Western Railroad is now completed from
Chicago to Omaha, distance of 492 miles; and

the Union Pacific at the same point so that its east
eTn connections will be numerous and complete.
The general line ef the road from Omaha is west
up the Valley of the Great Platte, and thence
the Plains distance of 5l7 miles, to the Black Hills,
or easterly spur of the Rocky Mountains Col. Scy-

various sections OF the road as they are completed
On the 35 miles on which the cars are now running
west from Omaha, the receipts for the first two
weeks in May were t113OO0 and, the road il
extended toward the great mining centers, the bus
in freight and passengers constantly increases

PROSPECTS, FOR FUTURE BUSINESS.
IL needs argument to show that the traffic of the
only railroad connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific,
and passing through the great mining region, must
be immense.
Although annual product Of tho precious metals
is now officially estimated at slOo 900 per annum
a vastly greater sum will be obtained as soon as the
Union Pacific Railroad opens thoway to the golden
regions of the Rocky Mountains. Now the diff
cultes and cost of communication great. that
none but the very richest veins be worked but
with cheap transportation. hundreds of thousands of
hardy miners will successfully develop other mines,
that with less costly working. will be even more
profitable than the average Of those now in opera
ton and the business of this constantly increasing
mining interest must pass over this road
The records Of our shipping offices show that not
less than $4,000 passengers annually travel by
sea between the Atlantic ports and San Francisco
and these rcckoned at $50 each about half
the steamer price, would produce a a'reyenue of
$4,000. N
The overland travel is even greater. In single
year f,ceRfy-soer HOusGni teams, comprising vast
number of emgrants and travellers, departed from
two points only on the Missouri River their west
ward journey If the truth of this statement not
familiar to all frontier'smen it might well be ques-
toned. But. estimating the overland through travel

$i5,000.OO0as tho minimum estimate on the same
number of passengers. But the facilities for cheap
and rapid transit furnished by railroad always vastly
increases the amount Of travel with the same popua-
tion. The difference between thenumbers who would

being rapidly built east from SACRAMENTO Cal. and
is already completed about 100 miles, aud wiz con-
meet with the Union Pacific.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. AND IT'S COST
As we remarked before. there has been very little
talk. and great deal of work. Almost before tire
public aware il had been boguB On the First of
January. 1861. the Union Pacific Railroad was I'm
ishcd for 36 miles west from Omaha. and fully
equipped with Locomotives Rolling Stock. Repair
Shops Dcpots Stations, &c, and the Company have
on hand Iron Ties and other materials sufficient TO
finish the road to the Rocky Mountains or 5l7 miles
from Omaha, by the first Of September. 1861. IL il
expected that the whole line through TO California
will be completed in 1870.
The first 3Oj miles were graded bridgcd and ironed
with heavy T-ras, and supplied with suitable De-
pots Repair Shops, Stations, Locomotives Cars and
all the necessary appurtonanccs Of rst-class road
for 10000 per mile and it is believed that the re-
manning portion will not increase the average cost
to more than $4,000 per mile, exclusive of equip
mcnts.
MEANs FOR CONSTRUCTION.
When the Government determined that the road
must bc built, il also determined to make the most
ample provision TO render its speedy construction
beyond doubt.
. First: THE GRANT or MONEY.-Thc Government
issues TO the Company its SIX PR CENT Thirty
YEAR Bonds at the rate of $4,000 per mile for the
whole road. and in addition for $50 miles across tho
Rocky Mountains this grant Is trctIod mekng Il
$4,000 per mile: and from the Termination Of this
section 10 the California line tabout SOS mes. the
grant is doaJJol making $1,000 per milethc whole

the Government only the completion Of each see

appointed by the President of the United States have
certified that it is thoroughly built and supplied with
all the machinery, &c. Of irst-class railroad The
interest on these bonds is paid by the United States
Treasury, and the Government retains as a sinking
fund to be applied TO repayment of principle and in
