The net earnings of the present Union and CentraD
Pacific Railroad for 1871 are officially reported nearly
S0,5OO,OOO. An equal traffic on the Northern
Pacific will paya dividend OF than NINE AND
A HALF per cent on its entire cost.
The average price at which twenty-slx leading Land
Grant Roads have to this date sold their lands $50
Sold at the average price the Grant OF the
Northern Pacific Company will produce more than
$4,000 mile ofroad-more than three times the tota
possible cost of construction and equipment.
These facts regarding Pacific Railroad earnings, and
the market value of Railroad Lands, shown by actual
to settlers show the hrecold security of Northern
Pacific Railroad Bonds, which we are now offering at

Meaning Of Thoroughbred.

Every leaf that falls from q tree
tends to pursue straight line to-
wards the earth. But as the winds
defect its course or the resistance
of the air acts upon it, in the alb
sence of wind, the consequence is
that winding or zig-zag journey
is performed. No leaf ever fell in
a vertical line nor ever will. Every
animal as it grows up tends to de-
velop in particular way, like its
parents or ancestors near and re-
mote, or rather like the sum or ave-
rage of its ancestry. But the cir
cumstances which environ All ami
NAL, whether bird or quadruped,
during the period of its growth and
development, crowd and veer it
this way and that, during every in
slant of its existence, SO that the
tendency to copy its ancestors in
character is intcrfered with. The
vicissitudes Of weather, varying di-
ct, the presence or absence of foes
in the shape of other animals, and
the thousand and one influences
which constantly besct animal life,
are as the winds to the falling leaf.
Therefore no animal was ever pro-
duced exactly like its ancestors
There arc variations little or great.
Our domestic animals will never
breed perfectly true in color, form,
useful qualities, or anything else.-
But if they breed approximately
true in any respect, we are accus-
toned to say, and with sufficient &C
curacy, that they breed true. just
as we talk about thing being
square or round though it is not
perfectly so. AS the tendency al
ways is for offspring to resemble
the average Of the parents and grand
parents and other more remote an
cestors, the more alike the ancestry
are the more harmonious and deci-
ded the influence they exert over
the progeny. Hence if we wish to
establish q quality-wc will say the
color brown for instance-if we
take care by rigid selection for gen.
erations, that all the individuals in
the ancestral line shall be brown,
no others being allowed to propa-
gate, all the ancestors will combine
to impress n brown color upon the
later defendants. Such race or
strain being formed, the probabili-
tics are that most of the individu-
ais produced will be brown, and
the variety will then be thorough
bred in that single point. This is
all that the word means. Common
ly not one quality or popularity
alone is cultivated in this way, but
several, in which case the race be-
comes thoroughbred in a numder
of points, as color, size, form, etc,
at the same timc.-Romltry World.

A Lesson from tho Japanese.

In agriculture, nations which cs-
teen themselves highly civilized
may wisely consider the ways of the
inhabitants Of Japan, whom they re-
gard as barbarians. With an area
about equal in extent to Great Brit
ain and Ireland, Japan sustains a
far larger population, and exports
considerable quantities of food to
other countries, while England is
compelled to import annually many
millions of bushels of wheat, and
many tons of beef, pork, butter and
other provisions. And yet the edu-
Gated farmer Of the Old World looks
upon England with it's meadows, its
enormous fodder productions, and
immense herds of cattle, and, in
spite of these, with its great con.
sumption of guano, ground bones,
and rapc-cakc, as the beau ideal and
the possible type of a truly rational
system of husbandry. But here is
a country much better cultivated,
without meadows, without fodder
productions, without a single head
of cattle either for draught or fat
tcning, and without the least supply
Of guano, ground bones, saltpetre
or rape-cake. This is Japan. The
Japanese peasant holds fast to one
indisputable maxim, viz: without
continuous manuring there can be
no continuous production. In Jap
an the farms are small-about five
acres each in cxtent-and the only
manure producer is man. His ex-
crements are collected with scrupu.
lous care, and in the cottages of the
poorest peasants the excrement cab
inets are kept neat and cleanly--
Along the highways and footpaths
of that country stoneware recepta-
clcs are placed in the ground for
the use of travellers. The excre-
mcntary matter is mixed with wa
ter and applied in liquid form, for
the Japanese farmer knows of no
other method of using it but by top
dressing.

Hot Beds.

This is the month to make hot
beds. Early vegetables cannot be
obtained without them. Such beds
are SO simple that they are really
within the means Of every farmer,
and of their great advantage there
can be but one opinion. Assuming
that the manure has been hauled,
the hot bed frames properly set and
that the heat has risen, six inches
of rich sifted soil should be next
used to form the seed bed; and az
the temperature is such as to admit
of seeding, lay off the bed into com
partments, and sow the seeds Of
early and late cabbages, tomatoes,
egg plants, lettuce, etc., sowing
radish seed sparingly between the
rows, as radishes mature carly and
will not therefore interfere with the
latter plants.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1872-04-12

The editor of the Germantown
Telegraph says: "There is no mode
that we ever tried so cffectual in
transplanting tomato, cabbage, can
teloupe, or any other tender plant
from the hot bed, or from one place
to another, as to prepare a vessel
filled with manure water and rich
soil, about the consistency of thin
mush, with which the roots Of the
plants should be we'll coated, and
set in holo made with a round
piece of wood or dibble. After be-
ing firmly planted, moisten again
with manure water. We have new
or failed in any transplanting, when
done in this way, and the trouble is
very slight.

Eertilixer FOR the Potato.

Ashes are the great fertilizers for
the potato; apply in the hill. A
little guano is an additional help
Some also use lime to advantage
all applied in the hill; this, it is
claimed, whether the soil is rich or
not. We prefer it not too rich. A
good sod, we'll rooted and mixed
with the soil, as recommended, is
usually sufficient, with manure of
some sort, or the fertilizers men,
toned, in the hill. This secures the
crop, and will not grow too much
vine, which is apt to be the case
where the land is quite rich.
Where the soil was of ordinary
fertility we have found benefit in
applying manure; this, whether
coarse or rotten, and spread broad
cast. After this it was worked into
the soil, and made a fine mellow
thing Of it, benefitting the crop
greatly, but making it rather coarse
and watery, fit only to feed to stock.
The better sorts might be made to
do for the table; but we prefer a
different kind Of pabulum for this
purpose. Ashes and old vegetable
manure will supply this, and if the
growth is not quite SO rank, it will
at least be highly remuneFative
and satisfactory. F. g.

The Canker Worm.

This pest of the orchardist will
sometimes attack trees in such num-
bers as to utterly defoliatc them
Mr.. Smith, Of Des Moines, Iowa,
one OF the most correct of the Iowa
horticulturists, has found means to
keep coal-tar sufficiently liquid to
prevent their ascending the tree
After trying in various ways to ac-
complish this object, he then made
slight mounds Of earth about the
trunk of the tree and smoothed them
on the top; then took brown wrap
ping paper, wrapped it around the
trunk, tied it about the tree close to
the earth, then turned the paper
down over the mound, and spread
coal-tar over the paper. The moist
ure of the earth mound kept the
coal-tar soft and moist, so that not
a worm got to the tree. He also
discovered that insects begin to
move much earlier than most peo-
pie suppose, and that preparation
should be made for them as soon as
the ground begins to thaw in the
spring. And he discovered that
not a borer was to be found in q
tree thus treated; whereas. before.
With ths utmost diligence, 10 had
