There ii another "little difference"
between the Union and Central Pa
ciiic Railroad Companies. 1t is sort
of "tail end" Of the dispute which
took place last Spring over the mid
die termini of thetwo roads. 1t was
finally determined by Congress that
tho Union Pacific should be permit
ted to build to Promontory Point--a
distance Of fifty miles east of Ogden,
the point claimed by the Central Pa
ciflc as the point Of junction; but it
was provided that the road for this
distance should be owned and con-
trolled by the Central upon the pay
ment of the mere cost of construction.
Congress, however, failed to specify
which road should become possessed
of the Government Subsidy of 49,, 900
per mile of bonds under the law, and,
as it is very natural they should, both
Companies claim the amount. The
amount in dispute is q little matter
of 81 $780, 900 and the contests warm
accordingly. There isevery prospect
that the quarrel will 60 before Con-
gress, and that that party which is
willing to sacrifice tho greater share
Of the amount of the subsidy to get
the thing through, will come out on
the winning side.-G Chicago Post.

Of double the value? No farmer can
afford to raise a fve-year-old colt for
less than one hundred and twenty
FIVE dollars.
What profit is there in keeping a
razor-backed hog until lie is eighteen
months old, to get two hundred
pounds Of pork, when the same feed
given, in nine months, to Berk-
shire or Chester White, Will give
you the same quantity OF pork. or
more? Is it nothing to save nine
months of carrying Stops, and grass,
purslain and corn? If you will keep
the Chester White until he is eight
cen months old, he will weigh from
$50 to $50 pounds, and perhaps half as
much more. The profit on a hog Of
good breed is in his extra weight, 1t

feed.

CISCO, I'LL.
The First Engine.

The first effective locomotive en-
CINE built in America was built in
Philadelphia, from draft by Rufus
Tyler, in 1882. This gentleman was
at that time considered the best
mechanic i'm America. The wheels
Of the engine were made of wood,
with broad rims and thick tires, the
flange being bolted to the side. 1t
was called Old EOnSides. She was
first put in motion on the German
town and Norristown Railway. She
ran one mile an hour, and was con-
sidered the wonder Of the day. 1t
was ascertained that the wheels were
too light to draw the tender; and to
overcome this difficulty the tender
was placed in front Of the engine.
This kept the wheels on the track.
The maker and his partner pushed
the engine ahead until it made some
speed, and then Jumped on the en-
zine. The boiler being too small
for the engine, steam was only gen
Grated fast enough to keep it in mo-
ton for short time; so they were
compelled to alternately push and
ride during the whole trial trip. 1t
was regarded as a success. The
wheels were afterward replaced with
iron wheels. This old engine is still
in existence in VermUnt.-Ec.

Does wheat Sweat!

noticed an article i'm the Western
Rarat of June 3, headed, GLOW to
have good Bread and also make
Money" wherein the writer says,
that if you stack your grain dry, it
will not sweat any more than gun
powder. AS thisis subject Of much
Importance to farmers of this section
of country, / write this article to
elicit information from those of
knowledge and experience. l know
that it is the prevalent opinion
among farmers that wheat must and
will sweat, if not before, after it is
thrashed.
With due regard for the opinions
Of others, think Mr.. StraWn is corr
rect. Lean see no good reason why
wheat stacked dry in q dry place,
will sweat, but know from expert
ence that if stacked damp it will be-
come tough and warm, Tor, as some
say, go through sweat. In 1860, l
cut ten acres of wheat quite green,
set it up in round shock-t ten sheaves
and two caps. ! noticed in passing
through this field few days after it
was cut, that the wheat in the heads
exposed to the sun was shrunken,
while those under the caps We're

bright and plump. /. stacked this
wheat in the barn when it was dry,
and examined it often, and never
found it-in the least damp, or sweat
ing" The same season / threshed
Il acres out of the shock, and put the
wheat in a bin in the barn--I was
told to put IT on the barn floor, as it
would sweat, heat and spoil; but /
did not believe that dry wheat, in a
dry place, would sweat. examined
the wheat often, but if it ever sweat
was unable to find it out. j close
this article hoping to learn some
thing more on this subject.

The state Reform school.

We met, Friday, Hon. John a.
Parvin, Senator frsGn Lnscatine Co.,
and one OF the Trustees Of the State
ftefo-rn school. He was on his re-
torn from an Official visit to that
institution, and we learned from him
one or two items in regard TO it that
are Of general interest. There are
now twenty-six boys there, who are,
generally speaking, doing well and
giving satisfactory evidences of sim
cere reformation. Two recently es-
capped, and have not yet been appre-
hended. Professor McCarty, the
Superintendent, islaboring faithfully
and zealously in the discharge Of his
duties, and appears to be accomplish
ing everything that can be reasona-
bly, expected. Mr.. Ainswortb, an
assistant, has recently given up his
position, and his place has been sup
Piled, but we have not the name of
his successor.
The Institution is in rather bad
condition financially. When the
building and farm (l400 acres were
leased Of Whites Manual Labor In
stitute, it was estimated that three
thousand dollars would be sufficient
to complete the main building, put
up such additions n, were needed,
and make such repairs rs would be
necessary. The appropriation made
by the General Assembly was s15, 900.
OF this, sl1 ,37O.84 has been expended
in completing the building, making
necessary and permanent improve
ments, and in the purchase Of stock
and implements to carry on the farm.
a debt of 81, 500 against the property
when taken by the State has been
paid off, leaving but a trifle Of the
appropriation for current expenses.
The consequence has been, the Trus-
tees were obliged to become person
! oil, ~osro~c;Ilo o.. Io ,,,~rntr W
meet these expenses. Some three
months ago they borrowed $1,000 for
this purpose, which is now nearly
exhausted; and one or more loans
will have TO be made to carry the
Institution through to tho meeting
of tho Legislature next winter.
Some portion Of tho land has been
rented, the income of which will
amount to four or five hundred dol
lars. The ground titled blythe Insti-
tuition is very level, and the crops
have suffered very severely from the
heavy and long-continued rains, so
that the net result of farming opera
tons will not be very large this year.
4 Mr.. Parvin thinks the location of the
School was bad, and that the State
should own the ground it cultivates
and tho improvements it makes.
