MORE SToCK AND BRAINS NEED
ED.-Whcn we see farmer with a
hundred or two acres of land, OF
which he has about One-fourth or
one-third under cultivation, taking
the corn from his farm to find a
market, it is easy to guess that he
will never amount to much, especial
" in dollars and cents. Better sell
or mortgage half of his acres to pro-
cure means to buy stock to eat his
corn on the farm. A farmer with
out stock and brains is about as bad
off in Iowa as anywhere else; with
both and very little money he could
become rich sooner in Iowa than
any other place we know of. Let
any farmer bring enough money to
Iowa to build himself a shelter on a
forty acre lot, if he has the neces-
sary brains, we can show him many
ways to become Independent and in
a few years ''forehanded. "-Iosca

Improved Cattle Car.


In recent issue we mentioned
the fact that an improved cattle car
had been invented by John w.
Street, of Marshalltown, Iowa,
whereby cattle in transit could be
transported any distance without
change of cars, or being unloaded
to feed and water them; and by
which, also, accidents and injuries
from crowding, tramping, ETC., are
avoided. We learn from Kellogg's
Rail Road Gazette, Chicago, that a
practical test of such cars has been
applied. That paper says:
"a car on Mr.. Streets plan has
been constructed and loaded with
cattle for New York, at the Union
Stock Yards of this city, last
Wednesday, and started in the at.
ternoon of that day for New York
by way of the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern Railroad. This car
was SO feet long, and o. feet wide,
inside measurement, being ten feet
longer, and one foot wider than the
ordinary stock car. Doors are hung
on each side of the center, so that
the feed basins along the side of the
car may not be removed. The cat
tie are separated by movable parti-
tons, hung at each end, and SO fast
ened that they may be fixed at any
distance apart, according to the
size of the cattle. An animal is
driven into one end of the car, and
then gate is hung as close to it as
possible, thus combining it in stall
with its head to a feed basin and a
water trough. Another animal is
driven in, and another gate hung,
and this is continued in both ends
of the car, the cattle in the different
ends facing different sides, until it
is full. Hay is stored above the
cutie, and water can be introduced
from water tanks on the line.
Each animal can lie down in its
stall, and cannot be touched by those
OF each side of it. 1t can be fed at
any time, can eat on the way, and
can be watcrcd at stations. Thus
the car is to cattle what the hotel
car is to human beings, provided
for the rest and rctrcshmcnt with
out interrupting the journey. 1t is
intended to carry about 10000
pounds in car, and Of ordinary an
imals lG can be accommodated. If
they are thin, more can be carried.
The costs about $1,000, $3.50 more
than the ordinary stock ear. 1t has
the swing bar trucks used under the
New York Central passenger ears,
with elliptic springs, and rides as
easy as Il passenger ear.
\ company has been organized
under the laws Of Ohio, under the
name Of the John w. Street & Co.
Cattle Express If the result OF
this shipment is favorable, this ex-
press company will at once order
several hundred cars. 1t proposes
to run these cars itself, charging
shippers about 81 per head more
than rates by the ordinary car, and
believes that so large saving will
be made that the increased rate will
be readily paid. \ number of Chi
cago men interested in the cattle
trade propose to take stock i'll the
company, and the enterprise has al
ready elected the attention of cat
tie dealers and railroad men to an
unusual degree. Certainly it is
very much to be hoped that it will
be successful, for in this more than
in almost any other branch of trans
portation reform is needed. Our
present methods are barbarous." y

The Fond du Lac (Wis.) paper
says: ''At the Patty House, in Fond
du Lac, is an ordinary bullfrog in a
glass jar half filed with water. In
side the jar is diminutive ladder,
from the bottom of the vessel to the
top. Just above the water line is a
perch, on which his frogship is to be
seen in dry weather sitting perfectly
motionless as long as the dry season
lasts. On the slightest indication OF
a change in the atmosphere, the frog
quits his perch and takes to the wa
ter, returning to the landing only at
long intervals to feed upon the flies
that are thrown into the jar. This
animated weather gauge never
takes any nourisnmcnt except in
rainy weather.

Weaving Colts.

We often, when travelling through
the country in the Fall, see colts
with a rough, staring coat; eyes
nearly closed, and a watery matter
exuding therefrom, with body
shaped like a squash seed, which,
but few weeks before, while run
ming with the mare, were possessed
of sleek, shining coat, eyes bright,
and body as round as a barrel. Now
the question arises, what is the
cause Of this? I answer, in nine
cases out of ten, it is improper wean-
ing. Nearly every colt in a farm
ing community is allowed to run
with its mother until about four or
five months old, when, to suit the
convenience of the owner, it is turn
ed into some distant field out of
sight, and if possible, out of hearing
Of its mother, there to run and whin-
ney, and worry, until it brings upon
itself a fever, which weakens the
constitution, closes the pores of its
skin, and in brief, the whole organs
of digestion become more or less
diseased. All of this can be avoid
ed by a little care in weaving.
My way of weaving colts is this:
When my colt is four and half
months old, | put strong leather
halter upon him and place him in a
stall, and put his mother i'll an adj
joining stall, with partition be-
tween, so arranged that they can
see each other, and if possible get
their heads together. The first day
I let the colt nurse twice; the next
day once. / feed the mare upon dry
hay and dry feed, and about half
milk her two or three times a day
until dry. The colt | feed upon
new mown grass or fine clover hay,
and give him pint of oats twice a
day, and in about two weeks | have
my colt weaned, and my mare dry,
with my colt looking rs well as
ever. When he is one year old, he
has as much growth, and develop
mcnt of muscle, as one two years
old wcaned in the first described
manner. When the mare becomes
dry, colt and mare may be turned
out together again in the PASTURE

WHEAT-EFFEcTs OF LATE Sow
INa.-Mr. J. r. Dodge, the statisti-
clan Of the Department of Agricul-
ture in his report for June, makes
the following remarks concerning
the apparent effect of too late SOW
ing:
sThe feebleness and unthrifty APP.
pearance of the plant, whenever ap-
parent, has almost universally been
attributed more to late seeding than
to any other cause. More that hall
the crop was sown or drilled later
than it should have been, and some.
what later than usual. The severe
drouth in the Southern and Middle
States, and the pressure of summer
work delayed by the unpropitious
spring in the West, together with
the habit of delay from which far
mers suffer as well as other men
postponed the breaking up Of wheat
lands; while the unusually early
closing IN of winter left the plant
scarcely above the frozen surface
and in many instances not even
visible.

In Winneshick county, Iowa, the
Day brothers have 1900 acres OF

that this year they will have from
1000 to $4,000 bushels of wheat;
from 5000 to 1000 bushels of oats;
from 10000 to 10000 bushels Of bar
ley. They had 100 acres of wheat

TIE EDUCATION FOR FARMERS
] hold our average common schools
defective, in that they fail to teach
geology and chem stry, which in
my view are the natural bases
of sound, practical knowledge
Of things knowledge which
the farmer, of all men, can
least afford to miss. However
it NAV be with others, he virtually
needs to understand the constitution
and character of the soil he must
cultivate, the elements of which it
is composed, and the laws which
govern their relations to each other.
Instruct him in the higher mathe-
mates if you will, in logic, in
meteorologv, or in ever so many
languages; bat not until he has been
thoroughly grounded in the sciences
which unlock for him the arcana Of
nature; for these are intimatcl y re-
lated to all he must do, and devise,
and direct, throughout the whole
course OF his active career. What
ever he may learn or dispense with,
knowledge Of these sciences is
among the most urgent Of his life
long needs. Hence, ! would sug-
eest that simple, lucid, lively, ac-
curate digest Of the leading princi-
pies and facts in geology and
chemistry, and their application to
the practical management Of farm
ought to constitute the reader Of
the highest class in every common
school, especially in rural districts.
Leave out details and receipts, with
directions when to plant or sow,
etc. for these must vary with
climates, circumstances, and the
progress of knowledge; but let the
body and bones, so to speak, of a
primary agricultural education be
taught in every school, in such
terms and with such clearness as to
commend them to the understand
ing of every pupil. | never yet
visited school in which something
was not taught which might be
omitted or postponed in favor of

WHEN TO PRUSE APPLE TREES
"A correspondent Of the Times
Watcrtown, n. Y, gives the result
of his experiment in pruning apple
trees, as follows:
at has long been a practice
among farmers to commence prun-
ing apple trees in February, main
ly, l suppose, because there is leis-
ure time. There are reasons why
this should not be done. There will
not be sufficient action in the tree to
harden the surface where a limb has
been taken off, before the sap as
ccnds in the spring. When this ac-
ton does take place, the sap flows
out and spreads over the surround
ing bark, and by some chemical ac-
ton which takes place, it is chang.
ed to a poisonous fluid, which great

The American Anti-Slavery Society, It
seems, has n vast and untrodden field of effort
yet before it, and might just as we'll have
held toRether and conducted the campaign on
scientific and parliamentary principles, in
stead of scattering into squads of three or
four, and thus losing the manifest sdvan-
tages of organization and discipline. What
guarantee is there for instance, that Frede-
rick Douglass and Mary Grew will have the
same views of the proper elements to con-
stitute "the social enjoyment" of the negro
as G. d. Drake and Mrs. Tappan? And why
may not Charles Sumner and Lucretia Mott
differ widely from both of these couples in
regard to this vital matter? Douglass and
Miss Grew might insist upon amalgamation
as constituting the greatest amount of social
enjoyment in the smallest compass, while
Mr.. Drake and his partner and Mr.. Sumner
and his partner might prefer the enjoyment
of our colored brother to be found in some
other shape. Confusion of counsels must in
evitably occur, and through them the negro
may fail utterly to enjoy himself, and thus
suffer grievous wrong. That enjoyment,
however, is pledged him in the resolution
aforesaid, and we may therefore expect a
continuance of the agitation so auspiciously
begun.
The negro, as general thing, is not yet
invited to join in the social entertainments of
IQ0 WD1UGS, our ldulSS Bull 0NlnC6 u u6Clubu
preference for gentlemen of their own color
as escorts and visitors; dress circles at thea
tres, reserved seats at concerts, the head of
the table at banquets, the best pews in
churches, are yet denied to him, and, so long
as this spirit of caste exists, it is apparent
that, although safely ferried over Jordan, he
is still far from the milk and honey of the
promised land. Such distinctions as these
cannot, of course, be tolerated for single
instant by the triumphant reformers of the
disbanded Anti-Slavery Society; they must be
purged away, obliterated entirely, and the
prevailing popular sentiment led to consider a
man or woman IN the same light as boot
the blacker the better. How this is to be
accomplished, with the present construction
of human nature, we do not exactly see, but
perhaps few more amendments to the Con.
stitution might do the business, and fix the
social status and enjoyment of the African
race upon q satisfactory and immovable
foundation. Meanwhile we trust the brethren
and sisters of the defunct society will
"thank God, take courage, cry aloud ant
| spare not"
