Improved Stock.

The present high price of thorough
bred stock, while it limits the business
of breeding to men of capital, does not
necessarily prevent the ordinary farmer
from procuring male animals wherewith
to improve his native stock A stock
of grade cows for the dairy may be
gradually gathered up by the expeDdi-
ture of from fifty to two hundred dol
lars. Many breeders of Jersey cattle
will dispose of young bull calf for a
very small sum, because its color does
not suit their taste, while in respect to
its pedigree or other USEFUL qualities,
it may be faultless. Such an animal
purchased young and well cared for,
will become useful for raising calves, at
year old. A ;earing heifer of his get
will, by the use of another such animal,
become profitable at two years DID, and
its calf will be three-quarters bred, and
it is quite likely to become as valuable
for the dairy as pure bred animal that
could not be purchased for less than
$500 or $500 The produce of this cow
would be seven-ei ghths bred, and if care
is taken in selecting the parents, would
show little difference from entirely pure
animals. Cooperation among few
neighbors who would each procure and
keep a young bull whose services they
might exchange with each other to pre-
vent close breeding, would soon change
the appearance as well as the produc-
pf hn 81 70 a
large district. The main point to be
guarded against is not to breed from
any but pure stock. All male grade
animals should be emasculated or go to
the butcher, while young. The use of
grade bull ought not to be permitted.
Here is where many mistake is made
In the course of four or five years, quite
herd of three-quarter or scvcn-cighth-
bred animals would accumulate, and
the profit would begin to come in
Ayrshire and Jersey cattle should be
the breeds aimed at, as these are excel
lently fitted for the dairy, and are pro-
ftably fed for the butcher on ordinary
farms. They are exceedingly tractable,
quiet and orderly, are large mixers, and
yield much butter of good color and
flavor The Devon and Durham are
better fitted for the grazier, and would
be more suitable where beef is the object
aimed at But whatever the breed
chosen, care should be taken to avoid
neglect, or loss will inevitably ensuc-
We have known cases where money was
invested in thoroughbred stock which
has been treated as though its blood
alone would be sufficient to protect it
from neglect, exposure, and starvation
The natural consequence of such a mis-
take was made ground of complaint
against the breeder, and led to dissatis-
faction and disgust The old adage
"blood will TELL" true rs it may be, is
no talisman against such an error The
refined nature of an animal carefully
bred through many generations, will
often enable it to sustain much ill-treat-
ment, but it will not thrive under it
When possessed of specimen of such
stock, give it fair misunderstanding
is unnecessary, as it is unwise-but
care and proper feed and attention will
make the investment a greatly profitable

DRYING FRUIT, Corn, ETC-A box
like hot-bed frame, covered with one
or more sashes. Window-sashes, or
those made especially for hot-beds, will
answer equally well. The box should
be higher at one side than at the other,
to give slope to carry off water, and
the better to catch the suns rays. 1t
should be in all respects like hot-bed,
except that it must have a bottom, and
be set up upon pieces of joists, Or some
other material, to keep it from contact
with the earth. Several holes are to be
bored in each side of the box, for ven
tilation; these are to be covered with
game, to keep out insects. Fruit, etc,
will dry rapidly in such box, and be
kept clean; besides, it need not be taken
in at night or during a rain.

Sowing Winter Wheat.

On good summer fallow that is
mellow and moist, it will make compar-
atively little difference whether the seed
is sown broadcast or put in with drill
But after spring crops, on dry, cloddy
land, a drill frequently makes the differ
ence between good crop and poor
one. If sown broadcast, the seed lies
among the dry clods, and much of it
will not terminate until we have rain !;
while drill can be set deep enough to
deposit the seed in the moist earth
beneath the clods And if the drill is
followed by roller to break the clods,
the moisture beneath will be retained,
and the seed will terminate and grow,
even should no rain fall for weeks
Late-sown wheat requires more seed
than when sown earl y-say l IA bush
els per acre if sown the first week in
September, and two bushels the last
week. Much, however, depends on the
condition of the soil. On good, rich
land in fine order, the wheat tillers say
SO much that less seed is required. A
change of seed is always desirable. AS
a rule, it is believed to be better to get
it from somewhat more southern lat
itude, and from poorer soil.
Top-draining the wheat fields where
needed is of great Importance, and it is
better to do it as soon as the wheat is
sown than to wait until the rains come
There are fields where it is necessary to
pillow out every dead furrow, but ordi-
narily all that need be done is to make
burrows from the lower parts of the
field where water accumulates. Secure
a good outlet from these, and the upper
portions, unless there are hollows, will
not need NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ScrofulOus poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution
and invites the attack of enfeeblng fatal Diseases
without exciting suspicion of its presence. Again,

its presence by eruptons the skin, foul ulcer

visable, even when no active symptoms of disease

BUNDLE BEEs.-Boys think it glorious
fun to fight humble bees, but they should
not be encouraged in the warfare Bum
BILE bees, like all the hymenoptera, play an
important part in the great field of nature.
The vein winged insects which fly from
flower to flower do not injure or destroy
the flowers, but make them productive by
distributing the pollen. They also rid US
of innumerable noxious caterpillars and
other insects, which they convert into
wholesome food for their offspring.
The ordinary honey bee performs its
work we'll in the fertilization of white
clover, but its proboscis is not long enough
to enable it to reach the hectares of red
clover. For the fertilization of the red
clover, we must rely to great extent upon
the humble bee.
Darwin has called attention to the init
mate connection between the number of
cats in given district and the yield of red
clover seed. The mice destroy humble
bees, and the cats destroy the mice; there
fore, the more cats the more bumblebees,
and the more humble bees the greater is
the red clover yield. In order to make red
clover grow more abundantly in New Zea-
land than it does, some enterprsing gen.
tlemen are talking of importing colonies of
humble bees from England. Our young
friends will thus see how earnestly the
humble bee is desired in countries where
he works not. Then should we not pro-
tect what we have, and which performs
such important services in our fragrant
meadows? We think so, even if it does
interfere with the wild pleasures of care

Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1871-04-14

A Black Hawk township farmer
has requested us to give our views on
the propriety of the people Of that
Township voting tax in aid of the
So called Grinnell, Cedar Falls Il
Winona Ry. If we knew just what
would be best for the voters in that
township to do, in this case, we
would cheerfully comply with this
request, and give our views at length,
notwithstanding we should probably
incur the displeasure of our friends
at Cedar Falls.
We clip the above from the Water
loo Courier of last week. 1t seems
that the Courier was not content
with the statement that 1t did not
know anything about 1t, but goes on
to prove its assertions of incompe-
tency to give advice on that subject.
The Courier says, I'VE favor the
building Of railroads." but it should
have said still further, "when they
touch Waterloo"
The Courier says this road cannot
become n competitor 10 the b., G.. r.
& NJ. Ry. AS we'll might have said
that the latter road could not become
a competitor with the Ill, Central
before it was completed to Waterloo
or Cedar Falls. Where is the Mil.
waukee market? Is there no other
point but Chicago to ship to? Where
is st. Louis market? IN the Mil
waukee market, grain that is rated
No. 3 I'm Chicago is No. in Milwsu-
kee, and No. 2 in Chicago is No. l in
Milwaukee,. 1t therefore would
bring to the farmers of Black Hawk
township more on the bushel for
their wheat than with the roads we
have now. 1t also brings them lum-
Der direct from the pineries of Wis
consin, and coal from the mines Of
Mahaska county. If by the build
ing Of this road coal, and better
quality, can be had for three and four
dollars n ton less, and lumber at least
four dollars thousand cheaper than
now obtained, would it not pay? If
we remember correctly, the Courier
was arguing during the last legisla-
ture that competition was the only
way to regulate tariffs. Add to that
argument yet the advantages of cer-
tain markets over Others, aud where
is the Courier 8 statement that it will
not pay q farmer in Black Hawk
township to have the railroad built.
Competition in one section Of the
county benefits all the people in the
county, and so of n township. The
Courier says it would not have said
anything had it not been requested
by farmer. We are sorry then il
did not give an unbiased opinion. -
The farmer did not expect TO see the
interest Of Waterloo advocated. We
are willing Waterloo interests should
he discussed, but we cannot allow
such statements to be made to prove
what the farmers of Black Hawk
township should or should not do
There is said to be reason in all
things, but such arguments seem to
be exceptions.
