CATTLE HUSBANDAY.

Mr. Hodge, of Massachusetts, has
the past season delivered course of
instructive lectures at Lowell, on
agricultural subjects. The last lee.
ture of the course was on Seattle
Husbandry," in which he strove to
incite farmers to raise more stock
rather than grain. and to take better
care of their animals. Mr.. Hodge
said:
'sThe fact is patent to every one
that where large herds of cattle are
kept there is thrift. The land is we'll
titled, and the purse is well filed
From the days OF the patriarchs. who
kept large focks and herds till this
nineteenth century, history abundan-
tly proved that cattle husbandry has
been and is the most successful
branch of farming. The grain
grower, ANONYMOUSLY perhaps, to
himself, makes inroads on his capt.
tai. BY selling his grain he is slowly
but surely impovelishipg his land.
We knew n Massachusetts farmer
who moved to the Genesee Valley
when that valley was in the height
of its glory as the wheat producing
region Of the United States, He
was SO delighted With the golden
harvests and the speedy returns in
cash that he wrote back to his be-
nighted friends in the East, as New
England was then called when
Rochester was in the West, CON-
miserating them on the slow turning
of the penny which the raising Of
stock required, and saying that he
should keep no more stock than was
necessary for tilling his land and fur
nishing his family with milk, and
boasting that he could raise wheat at
a profit for five shillings (624 ceuts)
per bushel. Little barn room and
little fencing were required. Every
thing went swimmingly for few
years. The Genesee land was deep
and fertile, but was exhausted after
a time. The father died poor; and
the son by resor'ing to cattle husband
ry on the same farm, soon paid IF
the mortgage on the estate. by
raising cattle the penny is turned
more slowly but more surely. 1t takes
three or tour years to change the calf
into COW or OK but the calf grows
while we sleep, and ere we are aw are,
the little, stit1:legged, awkward quad
ripped, worth only few dollars, be-
comes a graceful heiter or steer, that
can be readily exchanged for hun
dred dollar greenback."

Quick Sales & Reasonable Profits.
Everything to be sold upon its ju. n erits

with fair prospects for good years business.
We 20 in largely, strike out for deep wa

and scud away before the fitful
breeze of trade. Car load

the Wlg-Wam is
packed and

and the surrounding grounds literally strewn
with implements of various kinds.
Now come the Farmers one and all,
To buy machines both great and small,
The Marsh Harvester takes the lead,
Fifty-five are sold, none left for seed.
Our heavy stock of "Etnas" gone,
And still the crowd comes rushing on,
Demanding Etnas by the score.
We ordered on two car loads more. |
The Rake trade too, was very good,
Some sold for HAY, some sold for WOOD,
OF Thrash Machines We sold just eight,
As good as any in the State.
To clean the crops for market well,
The A. P. Dickey mill did sell.
Now that the seasons trade is past,
Are you all right, n friend doth ask

There are many cruel and danger
GUS remedies given for breaking
horses from pulling at the halter or
bride. A safe and efficient remedy
is, to tie him with a strong strap
around the neck, TO which is attach
ed strong rope. A convenient way
for buggy horse is, to have a ring
in the strap and leave it on the horse.
Have rope in your buggy with a
knot on one end that will not 20
through the ring, and when you want
TO tie. slip the rope through the ring.
My experience il, that a horse will
not pull many times on such a fix

later. By the second year there will
be line roots for use.

THE SITUATION.

Continued wet weather during and after
harvest, made it impossible to secure the crops
in good order. The light yield, inferiorqual-
ity, and remarkable low price at which it was
forced upon the market, paid very little more
than the actual expense of harvesting. The
consequences are, farmers generally cannot
meet their promises to pay. Disappointment
manufacturer who having built their ma
chimes on credit, sold them to the dealer on
credit, and the dealer in turn sold 10 the far
mers on credit. The farmer relying solely
upon bountiful harvest, and good prices for
his crops, and thought he ran NJ risk in buy
ing literally, agreeing to pay after harvest.
The time for payment is at hand. The man.
ufacturers clamor for their pay, their very ex-
istence as manufacturers depending upon the
prompt receipts of their dues from the dealers.
The dealers in turn dun, tease, beg of, and f.
nally are compelled to force by law the pay
ments due from farmers, their only DEEPEN
dence. 1t is a hard thing for dealer, who
expects to continue in business, to be compell-
ed to force his friends to pay at any sacrifice
the law may compel them to make.
Self preservation financially is our only
excuse for the rigid course taken in pushing
our collections.
We presume some of our friends feel injured
and have promised no moro patronage.
This we foresaw, but like A. Ward, we are
willing to sacrifice our friends and relatives
first.
By this course alone have survived the
storm, and new we hope to run the race Of

Save the Hest CNlvesl

Farmers cannot keep up their stock
mot to think Of improving it-1t
they are beguiled by the crafty butch.
ers into selling their best calves for
veal, and raising their poorest. The
opposite practice should be inexor-
ably followed.
More than this: no keeping for the
first ten weeks of calls life can be
too good. Many farmers put two
calves on to single COW, or feed
them with skinned mi!k-miserably
poor at that-anything to keep the
breath of life in them till grass comes,
and they are turned into some per-
haps miserably poor pasture, to grub
their disconsolate, and wearisome,
and poverty-stricken way through the
months of summer. All this is as
cost y as it is wicked.
Save the best calves, feed them on
the best food, and give them enough
Of it at the outset, and when weaned,
give them something besides hard
tack to live on during the first six
months Of their lives.-Heorth and
UOme.

SENATE. .

The Georgia bill was taken up, the
gallery being thronged In anticipation
of q speech by Mr.. Reyels. ~
Mr.. Morton, who was entitled to the
floor, yielded it in favor of the Senator
from Mississippi. --
Mr. Revels then commenced his re-
marks, which, during the entire deliv,
cry, were listened to with the closest
attention. Upon tho conclusion Of his
remarks, Mr.. Revels received the con.
gratulations of many Republican Sena-
tors and others, and then the immense
audience in the galleries, which in
cluded many persons of color, slowly
dispersed.
Mr.. Morton in complimenting Mr..
Revels on his speech expressed the
opinion that in the exchange by which
that gentleman occupied the place OF
Jefferson Davis the Senate had lost
nothing in intelligence while it had
gained much in patriotism aud loyalty.
Mr.. Howard took the floor, but yielded
to the motion by Mr.. Williams for an
Executive session, which, after an inef-
fectual effort by Mr.. Trumbull to pro
long the session to dispose OF the bill,
was agreed to.
The Senate went into Executive ses
sion, and subsequently adjourned.
