There might have been o time
when other influences were potent
in advancing Individual prosperity,
but at this day when progress is
stamped upon nearly everything we
bee around us, enterprise is the most
effective aid Il man can employ if he
desires to make name and conquer
the obstacles that intcrpOse between
him and wealth. In the mechanical
branches, in the manufactures, as in
every other department of business,
we see that energy, enterprise and
vigilance achieve success.
II This ]. true of other pursuits it
should be equally true of agriculture,
the great foundation pursuit to which
commerce, manufactures and all 9TH
er interests look for support. Why
should farmers as a class, of all other
men, be content to stand still while
the rest of the world is rushing by
them ? Why should they plod along
in the ruts of past years, satisfied
With the old methods and with max
ing both ends meet" when the in
fusion of a little enterprise into
their operations would enable them
to avoid veXatiOus errors, to make
more from their labor and to live
easier? The fault with too many
farmers i. lack Of enterprise. They
are scrupulOusly honest, working
hard all the year, and saving every
penny earned, but in their old age
they are but little better off than
they were twenty years before.

venti0ns and varieties may not prove
profitable, the experience of the past
few years sufficiently proves that
many of them are undoubtedly val

ed there will he nothing gained, and
the man who is on the alert, who is
well informed, with an independent,
rejecting mind, will not be often
deceived, 1t should always be borae
in mind that there is an unending,
active competition now in farming as
in every other pursuit, and he who
would be successful must be on the
lookout to procure all the assistance
possible, all the advantages that sci
enee, inventive genius and research
offer, to make his labors profitable
and TO enhance the fertility of his

Too Poor.

Brother Moore. of the RurGI Neu
Yorker, was sitting i'm his office, one
afternoon some gears ago, when @
farmer friend came in and said:
"Friend Moore, like your paper
but times are so hard l cannot pay
for it,"
as that so, friend Jones? I'm very
sorry 70 hear that you are SO poor
and If you are so hard run / viii
give you my paper"
"Oh, no! cannot take it as @
gift"
"Well, then, let's see how we car
fix it. You raise chickens, I believe
Eyes, Il few, but til ydon't bring
anything hardly"
Don't they? Neither does my
paper cost anything hardly. Now
have proposition to make to you
will continue sending your paper
Had when you go home you may Sc
lect from your lot one hen, and cal
he: mine. Take good care of her
and bring me the proceeds for one
year, whether in eggs or chickens
and we will call it square"
"All right, brother Moore" and
the old felIo = chuckled at what ht
thought a capital bargain. He KEEP
the contract strictly, and at the enc
of the year found that he had pale
about four prices for his paper. HI
often tells the joke on himself, anC
says lie never has had the face to say
lie was too poor to take a paper since

Preparing for Fattcning.


Thrifty grade short horns, the win.
ter after two ears old, should be fed
with all the hay or corn fodder
they will eat, if not wintered on blue
grass pastures especially reserved for
their use, ne is the practice in some
portions of our grazing States. In
addition to this forage, they should
have a moderate allowance of corn
or corn meal, as circumstances will
admit. This course pushes their
growth, and they go out into their
spring pasture at three years old, in
pure condition. Thenceforth, with
abundant summer pasturagc, they
will rapidly improve. Many three
years old steers, thus fed, will go to
market rs beef cattle in the coming
fall, or If retained for winter feeding,
will be ready, with abundant food,
TO be off at any time before next grass
season. And here lies the great ad-
vantage of the short horn blood, in
their early preparation for the sham
bles, The common, or native cattle,
require full five years to obtain suf-
ficient growth TO fat with any profit.
If fed with grain Mt three years old,
the food goes to bone and sinew and
common muscle, and not to good
flesh and tallow. They have deal
of ofIal to carry in the way of head,
horn, dewlap and general coarseness
which the better bred animal has
not. Thus the native beast consumes
his extra food to no profit, while the
short horn converts his food into
profitable flesh and tallow. In this
way it is seen that a great loss of
time Is suffered with the native stock,
one or two years at least and some>
times more, besides the expense of
keeping during that time, interest on
the capital invested, and risk of
death and disease, while the short
horn turns all his food TO good ac-
count, and is marketable at an age
never exceeding four years and al
ways profitable to his breeder, grazier

Immigration.
From the New York Daily Bulletin.

From the New York Daily Bulletin.
The decrease of German immigra-
ton, resulting from the wal now in
progress in Europe, has been even
greater than was expected. During
the month of October 3,1lS G. rman
emigrants were landed at this port,
against 7,G4I for the same period last
year. Since the 1st of January the
number of German emigrants arrfv-
ing at this port is g., 9O4 against So
345 for the corresponding period OF
1869. A slight increase is reported
in the emmigrati0n from other Eu-
ropean countries. The number OF
immigrants other than Germans, ar
irving at this port since January LIST,
is 1875, S97, against IA, 62O for the first
ten months Of 1869. Allowing, how-
ever, for the fall off in Gel man EN-.
igratiOn, the arrivals at this port
since January 1st show Il decrease as
compared with last year, of AZ, l64.-
The large increase of immigration
from Germany expected next year
will, in all probability, fully equal
iZe the present decline. II is the in
evitable consequence Of war to i'm
pOverish nations, even when their
armies achieve military Successes,
and The distributed condition of bus
mess and the unsettling of values
throughout the German States will,
it is thought, largely stimulate the
emigration of the working classes to
this country. The Germans are the
most useful ana valuable immigrants
that come 10 our shores, and any
permanent decrease in the numbers
annually arriving at this port would
be a serious detriment to the agricul-
tural development and industrial
progress of the country.

What to do with the Sheep.

We do not expect prices for woods
will soon reach those paid during
and at the close of the war. 1t is
possible they may not exceed those
now paid. We think the time Is
past for profit in keeping very large
| docks of sheep on high priced lanhs,
| but we believe even at the low prices
of the present year small flock of
good sheep will pay reasonably well
on most farms. But that they may
do so they must have good care, and
this very many farmers have not
been depressed. 1T showed that
when thousands of sheep were sold
in Ohio for the price of their pelts
with a very little added for their tai
low, but to sell them was wiser than
to keep them and allow many of
them to die of neglect.
Many flucks are now in good order,
perhaps fat, which will be very poor
in the spring, because their owners,
disheartened by the continual low
prices of wool, will not give them
either enough food or proper shelter.
For all such it Will be better to sell
half the flocks at low rates, aud give
the remainder good care, than to-
keep all.
We would not advice any one with
a comparatively small flock, for the
keeping of which he is well prepared,
to dispose of them at present prices.
1t may not be advisable for him to
much increase the number, but if he
is near a village or town or other
markets it may be well for him to
get n Cotswold, Leicester or South
Down ram and raise early lambs to
be sold next summer, or possibly to
be kept and sold for mutton when
grown. The experience Of buyers in
most western cities and towns is that
for good mutton they pay prices
which would indicate that producing
ii cannot be an Improbable business.
Poor mutton sells low as it ought;
but really choice mutton sheep gen
orally command good prices, and the
demand for such IL constantly in
creasing.
The question of whether the Long
Wool sheep will do well in large
hocks need not trouble the ordinary
western farmer. Ii well care0 for
they will do well in as large fiOcks as
he VIII need or be able TO obtain for
some years.
The owner of very choice Merino
ewes will not wish to cross them
with the Long Woods, and he need
not, for as we Lave said, they will
pay if well kept and in reasonable
numbers Western Farmer.
