The Great Wisconsin Railroad.


The Annual Report of the Milwau

for 1867 is published. We have not
been favored with a copy, but find q
pretty flu abstract in the Milwaukee
Wisconsin,. This great company,
year by year extending its lines and
absorbing smaller railroads, is now
Que of the most powerful railroad
corporations of the country, and with
its long arms stretching to nearly
all parts of Wisconsin, and reaching
out into Minnesota and Iowa, con-
trois a large amount of trade and
traffic, and carries an immense amout
Of passengers, produce and merchan-
disc, its diverging lines largely in
creasing the business of Milwaukee,

The Company now controls $40
miles of railroads besides connecting
with lines running in all directions,

The directors believe that hereaf-
ter they VIII be able to pay cash
dividend, commencing this year, on
the preferred stock, and also, they
hope, on the comon stock.
The following items xtracted
from the report will be fonnd of in
terest
The line west OF the Mississippi
and known as the Iowa & Minnesota
Division, 215 miles in length, cost
$9,0l5, 900. but the report says the
results of this road have been highly
beneficial to the company. From
January 1st to May LIST, 1868 it earn
ed 1855, 600 against 1884 900 for the
| same time last year.
The company are now engaged in
the construction of no additional
road, except the line from Omro to
Winneconne, five miles in length
which will not exceed $40, 900 in cost
This line will furnish valuable tim
Der traffic to the road, and in one
year it is believed the additional
business it will bring will pay all the
cost Of its construction.
One of the important connections
soon to be built, is the McGregol
and Sioux City road, across the state
of Iowa, which gives an Eastern out
let for the Pacific road, by route
shorter than any other.

The IDEAS that wish to enforce upon
themfnds Of those engaged IN Sne tiils
ing of the soil are these: Whether it Vs.
not best, all things considered, to cnlti-
vate a small quantity OF ground well,
than to scramble oyer a large extent,
not obtaining half the amount of pro-
duce and that with twice the aHaount of
laborf This is au item worthy,of note
when the farmer has only himself and
son, who prefers his book
to this solitary drag working with bis
father, who is grave and unsocial, not
speaking the whole forenoon unless to
find fault. This is tho way to make
.yonng children run, away from E.ne.
and 60 to sea, and in some cases they
sec th6ihside of our State prisons and
houses of reform. If you wish to keep
your boys with you and make them
what are Justly called natures noble
men, talk with them Familiarity and
strive to store their minds With infor-
matien, Ii eau be done. When you
cone into the house have books and pa
pers al hand ready to read a page or two,
and it will afford you food for thought
during the hOnrs of labor in the field
Some farmers have an itching desire
to own all the land that adjoins them on
the north, south, east and west. This
is all foolishness and vexation OF spirit.
Tie three hundred well-diseiplined
Spartans, under the leadership of the
indomitable Leonidas, were sufficient
TO check the thousands of Xerxes. In
like manner three acres under good
management will be of more benefit to
the iiller than, thirty partly manfred
and partly cultivated. We remark, it is
not the amount of work performed but
the manner in which it is done. The
farmer who attempts to till more than
can be done well, is less farmer in q
practical sense than he who grows
thirty bushels Of wheat upon the same
quantity of ground that the farmer that
lacks method and gets but fifteen from;
and if his plants de- not show his scant
manuring, they at least tell story that
should make him ashamed to go on in
such hap-hazard way. There is wise
old saying as true to-day as when list,
Gan ounce of prevention is worth moro
than q pound Of cure" 1t is much
easier to keep the soil in good cond1-
ton than to let it run out and then
strive to restore it.

which the besI stock.

The Connecticut State Board of Agri
culture lately held its ansual meeting,
during which quite an animated discus
sion took place on the subject OF neat
stock, embracing the management OF
mich cows, oxen, beef, cattle, the best
breeds, the proper method OF feeding,"
DC. Mr.. Samuel Bartlett said that
some remarkable cows had originated
in Windsor, Ct, from cross of native
cattle with tho Snort Horns, aud spoke
favorably of the lattcc breed, tie main
point being that S. l75 had been receiv-
ed in New York Cor pair OF Short
Horns. Mr.. Webb said that for dairy
farming and withdrawing, there was
nothing superior to the Short Horn
grades. Ho admitted the Devons made
the best oxen, but didn't think InucA of
the Attorneys OF Ayrshires. Mr.. Collins,
an extensive and successful dairyrnan,
thought, the Ayrshires were hard to
beat, that they would pick up living
where Short Horns would starve, some
of which in bis billy section would Eot
produce milk enough to raise their
calves. He prcferred small cows because
they gave a large quantity of milk for
the food they ate. Tue bulls alse make
a good team. Mr.. Welles said that his
experience was that tive Short Horns
would eat az mach food as three Ayr
shires, and two AyrshireS would give as
much milk rs three Short Horns. Mr..
Ayres thought the Short Horns were the
best in rich valleys, where grass was
abundast, and the .Devons the best In
billy sections. If he kept only one or
two cows, would prefer the Alderney.
Mr. Barnes said that fotAbeef he always
preferred the Short Horns, aud seemed
to favor them. Gov. Hyde said he found
Devons to be the best for his section,
and Thought them to be the best gener
ally for New England except in rich
valleys. where the Short Horns might
he preferred Altogether the Devons
and Ayrshires seemed to be the favor
ties.
