THE SoUTHWEsTERN.- Grading has

mauy of which "a usual are extremely
absurd. {. Il. Ransom returned from
Chicago recently. He had a full con
ference with Mr.. Hinckley, Chief
Engineer Blunt and the chief officers of
the G. b. & q. road, and learned just
how matters stood. The parties build
Ing this road were extremely anxious to
complete it at the earliest possible day.
They contracted to run the cars to this
city by the first Of July, but intended to
do 1t by the first Of January. They
were progressing finely, with every
prospect Of success by thai time. when
the Chicago fire burst upon them. This
fire has deranged money matters to a
very great extent, and has prevented
the obtaining the heavy sums required
to complete this line on their proposed
time on such terms as they feel justified
in accepting. 1t would cost them a
sacrifice far beyoui what they can hope
to gain from anticipating their contract
time. They have already expended
$500, 900 on this work. They have push>

securing the right OF way, etc. They
have now adopted this line of policy:
They have suspended grading for the
winter. but will 60 or with the i'm.

along with the road east Of Clinton and
finish that up. They will station Chief
Engineer Blunt at this place, as his
head quarters, from which he will 20
on with the engineering during the
winter, and have all ready for early and
vigorous work In the spring, and will
complete the road on contract time
This will be disappointment to our

"What Know about Farming y

Brick Pomeroy, whose early years
were bucolic says:

"Ordinary shoes will do for oxen
when at farm work. Use slippers on

THE TRADES i OF ANIMALS.


Bees are geometricians their cells
are so constructed as with the least
quantity of material to have the larg-
est sized spaces and the least possible
loss of interstices. So, also, is the
ant lion; his tunnel shaped trap is ex-
actly correct in its conformation, as if
it had been made by the most skill
ful artists of our species, with the aid
of the best instruments. The mole is
a meteorologist. The bird called the
ninekiller is an arithmetician,; SO also
is the crow, the wild turkey and some
other birds. The nautilus is navi-
gator he raises and and lowers his
sail. casts and weighs his anchor, and
performs other nautical evolutions.-
Whole tribes of birds are musicians.
The beaver is an architect, builder and
wood cutter; he cuts down trees. and
erects houses and dams. The marmot
is civil engineer; he not only builds
houses but constructs aqueducts and
drains to keep them dry. ,a.f..r.s, ..5.s- {
The white ants maintain regular
army of soldiers. The East India
ants are horticulturists they make
mushrooms upon which they feed
their young. Wasps are paper manu-
facturers. Caterpillars are silk spin
ners. The bird ptoceus tector is a
weaver; he weaves net to- make his
nest. The primia is,a tailor; he sews
the leaves together to make his nest.
The squirrel is a ferryman;; with a
chip or piece of bark for boat, and
his tail for a sail, he crosses a stream.
Dogs, wolves, jackals and many 9TH
ers are hunters. The black bear and
heron are fishermen. The ants are
regular day laborers. The monkey is
a rope dancer. The association OF
beavers presents us with o. model of
republicanism. The bees live under a
monarchy. The Indian antelopes fur
nish an example of patriarchal gov
ernment. Elephants exhibit an aris-
tocracy of elders. Wild horses are
said to select their leader.

BLACKBERRY DIsEAsE.-F. r. Eli

ined number of blackberry planta-
tions in which the yellow bungird
disease has prevailed until nearly ev-
cry plant is destroyed. No remedy
has yet been found for it except to
dig or plow them all up, cultivate the
ground year or more in some vege-
table crop and replant. Ali who have
blackberry plantations should exam
inc carefully any appearance of the
disease and on its showing dig, with
out fear or favor, all plants tainted or
in immediate neighborhood of the dis
ease.

A PERFEor HORSE.

One who is considered as authority
in horse matters, states that perfect
horse is one about fifteen and a-half
or sixteen hands; lengthy arched
neck sharp pointed ears large, full
hazel eye broad between them; not
too long q face, but Straight one; a
large open nostril; strong under
jaw to masticate his food well good
round body;a a big full chest; large
around the girth, denoting plenty of
wind power; thin withers, and an an
imal standing erect on his fore legs.
Such animals, it should be the object
of breeders to produce, and this re-
quires both judgment and care.

MELON SUGAR.-In Italy and Hun.
gary there are, it is said, several large
manufactures of melon sugar, and il
is believed that the culture of melons
for this purpose could be made profit
able in this country. The proportion
of saccharine material in the juice is
about seven per cent, and the cost OF
expressing the juice is much greater
than from the melons. The matter is
worth looking into. We once made
a very fine article OF syrup from mel
on juice, but did not carry the expert
ment further.

CURE FOR NEURALGIA.-Oil of pep

as remedy for facial neuralgia. He
says that when in China he learned
that the natives were in the habit of
using it, making the application at
the seat of pain with camel's hair
pencil and since then he has used it
in his own practice with good effect,
in both gout and neuralgia, the relief
being almost instantaneous.

CALIFORNIA WHEAT CRoP.-Reports
from San Francisco dated June I'd,
say that the Incoming wheat crop is
now estimated at one third heavier
