About Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Etc.

The Agricultural Bureau report
for February is before us, and con-
tains much interesting information.
The report for the month goes con-
siderably into details of the farm, and
we copy from it. In Wisconsin, the
number Of horses is / 40 per cent.
more than last year, while the ave-
rage prizes tor colts under one year
old is S33 30 two-year olds, S52 "a ;
three-year Odds, $77.67 over three
years old, S112 IA. For Michigan al
most tho same figures are given,
while those Of Minnesota aud Iowa
exceed them somewhat. Mich cows
are given an average of S35.78 per
head in this state $42 Pain Michigan ;
S36.1l in Minnesota, and S34 81 in
Iowa. For three-yesr old oxen, the
average value per head is given, IN
Wisconsin, S422s in Michigan, S53 :
81 in Minnesota, S47.06 f; IN Iowa,
SAB 90. Average value for sheep per

sheep, while al but Minnesota show
falling off of fully one per cent

How Tho world vii End

Professor Wiuaheli IF Ann Arbor
jMi1h university, In nis late work
ontltled Sketches Of Creation" DE-
clares that the world will come 20 al
ond BY the absence Of heat rather
than through u surplus of that els
ment. Accordingly to the calcula-
tions upon which the professor has
reared his structure the earth il grow
ing colder at the rate of one-four-
teenth Of degree in IS centuries,
and this loss Of heat has caused q
shortening of the earth's diameter
during that period of about 90 feet.
From this it appears that we are APP
preaching trigidity at the rate Of one
loss degree of temperature for every
three hundred and fifty centuries.--
To any one but geologist this may
seem an unlimited period, but in fig
uring either the past or future this
space OF time is as moment in the
geologic world.
Assuming this as basis it is no
difficult matter to figure the exact
time when all flesh will cease TO ex-
ist. Scientific men calculate that to
diminish the temperature of the earth
ten degrees would be fatal to animal
liie This would fix the time of con-
collation. at thirty-fve hundred CEN
turtles, or about A. d. 351, $40. I'm
der circumstances we do not think
any person will live to see himself
contradicted if he advocates the pc
culiar theory.-Mlwaakee NelcS.

The ART OF Coon FARMING.-Bad
farmers will admit that there are
crops TO be grown which can be har-
vested at such stage of their exist
ence as TO take very little from the
soil, but they do not care to study
the matter as Of much Importance.
The art of good farming is to grow
as much unexhausting produce as is
possible, and TO manufacture all such
product into manure for the increas-
ing Of the fertility Of the sell conse-
quently, the first thought should be
directed TO the best crops for every
season Of tho year, and the second
confederation ought 20 DO how to
convert them into fertilizinr sub
stances, 80 as TO make money bv the
operation and this will result In OBJ
tanning possession Of q machinery
called live stock, which will turn all
the produce into solid and liquid mat

qualification.

look with pity on those who exhaust
their soil by letting their crops go
past the stage whore non exhaustion

THE HERALD.
Diversified Industry-Money in Rails
ing Beef Cattle-Great Increase
in Cheese Factories.
rram the uLIca n. Y. H.rsld, AprIl ;.

An exchange says: "a large num-
Der of Western farmers are getting
. little discouraged over wheat.
They have resolved to raise less
grain and more cattle and bogs-a
resolution in which, we fancy, they
will fnd much profit"
So far az the hogs are concerned,
we have nothing TO say. But we
believe in diversified industry, aud
SOC no good reason why our West
ern farmers might not do as well at
raising beef cattle. No article Of
food is at present. 80 high az beef
This shows that the supply IS shorter
than that Of other kinds OF food
There must be. therefore, = chance
for making money at raising beet
cattle for market We know Of no
section where this can BIO more casl-
ly done, and, cor quontiy, moro
proftably done, than on the prairits
of the great West, which are now
being rapidly exhausted by wheat
growing.
We would sooner recommend the
raising Of beef cattle than dairying.
Large numbers in the Western
States and elsewhere arc going into
the dairying BUSINESS this season.
Cheese making seems to be the ia
vorite branch. Some men, who are
well informed, are strongly Of the
opinion that the cheese factories in
the country will be doubled in num-
Der this Spring. If they are, it will
not double, though it will greatly
increase the making of cheese. But
we do not think the increase will be
so great, although we should not be
surprised from what we hear, if the
number Of cheese factories in the
Western States were doubled.
The high prices Of last season, re-
allied by the cheese manufacturers,
is likely TO result in OVERRIDING the
business. No such prices, we APP
prehend, will be realized this year.
Therefore, if we owned a good gra-
zing farm, we should rather take our
chances, for the next few years, in
growing beef than in following any
other branch Of farming.
There is nothing palmer, in our
estimation, than that the American
people must engage in a more diver
sified industry. We want more
manufacturers and mechanics, and
many new branches Of industry must
be introduced. Our broad domain is
so tempting, and so many from our
own midst and from the old world
are rushing on to it and engaging in
agriculture, that this branch Of in
dustry ID being overdone at the ex-
pense Of others. We are, therefore,
compelled to import what we ought
10 manufacture tor ourselves and %
nobody wants our surplus farm prod
ucts, We hGv0 TO run in debt to for
eign manufacturers and dealers for
many necossarieg, which arc thus
made too expensive, while many OF
the fruits OF our own industry have
20 go ct q sacrifice to the producers
This is all wronc, and is to be
remediod, not by wasting time and
treasure on our foreign commerce
which il as much a curse az o benefit
but by employing the woalth-pro-
ducing forces OF tho country in IL
mo- o diversified and evenly balanced

BONE Dust FOR STRAWBERRIES -
Bone dust may be sown broadcast
over strawberry beds in early spring
or at any time during early summer.
1t is better to apply in rainy wealth
er, as then the valuable portions are
Immediately carried down to the
roots of the plants. If the strawber-
ries are cultivated in hills, then q
handful Of bone dust to each will be
sufficient. 1t is usually applied on
the surface, and then W ork it in with
hoe and cultivator. The quantity
to be applied per acre should be va
ried according to the richness of the
soil if poor, half ton, will do no
harm, but much good. We consider
bone valuable fertilizer for all kinds
of soil, and there is little danger OF
applying too much, provided it is
mixed with the soil.

Soups.

A good soup contains the nutri-
ment most need, for a trifiing ex-
pense, and should be found on every
table at least twice week-onee a
day would be better.
A few points are very essential in
making a good soup. Beef is the
best meat for the purpose, as it con-
tains the most nourishment. A
shank bono we'll cracked, that the
marrow may be extracted, which
you can purchase for the trifling sum
Of u cents, will make an abundant
soup for q family of half q dozen per-
sons twice. The bone should be put
to soak in cold water, allowing q
full quart for every pound of meat,
and by very gradual heat come TO
a slow simmer, which should be kept
up FIVE or six hours. Soup should
on no account be allowed to boil, ex-
cept for the last ten or fifteen min
utes, to cook the vegetables in fin
ishing. For the first hour of simmer
ing, it should be frequently skinned.
oalI anu pepper ana .saVory shoulu
be cooked in it from the first, and
the rice added at last for thickening.
If vegetables are desired they should
be neatly sliced, and the soup strain
cd finally through a seive. Great
care should be used to skim off the
fat as it rises, which will be necces-
sary for some hours. If SOUP ia al
lowed to cool and used the second
day after making, it will be all the
better, as then all grease can be en-
tirely removed.
Very delicious soups can be made
in tho same manner, from game,
fowls, mutton or veal, and thicken-
ing them with little arrow-root or
corn starch.--Cor. Country Gentle

BG- Experiments have been lately
made in Prussia, at the suggestion
of the Minister of War, to test the
protecting powers Of petroleum
against the ravages Of moths. The
MiIitdr- Wochenbldtt announces the
conclusions at which the committee
of inquiry have arrived. 1t is found
that impregpation with rectifed,
neutral petroleum prevents moths
from depositing their eggs in stuffs,
and is consequently a protection
against moth eating, but this preser-
walton seems to be effectual only so
long as these clothes or other objects
distinctly retain the odor of the Pc
troleum. 1t is recommended to in
close the impregnated articles in
tight closing cases or boxes, and to
renew the impregnation with petro-
leum every spring, oven more fire.
