Sheep in Iowa.

DR.. J. NJ. Shaffer in his report
OF the Iowa State Agricultural So
ciety notes the following concern
ing sheep and wool. The number
of sheep in the state in 1872 was
55l,s26-worth Sl,565,47s. The
entire wool clip will hardly exceed
100000 pounds. Divided among
the eighty-five mills and it leaves to
each but 1864 pounds; and this is
one Of the reasons why these mills
stand idle half the time. A few
owners with heavy capital, import
from other states, but these form
the exception to the rule. The de-
mand for home made woolens is
steadily increasing, and it was
fondly hoped that, in this depart
ment of industry at least, we can
bring the producers and consumers
face to face, save the expense OF
halt a dozen mlddle-mcn, and after
a while cease paying tribute to
eastern manufacturers and English
looms; and until we learn this Sc
cret and apply it, we must remain
in a state of dependency that will
ever initiate against that accumu-
lation Of wealth, capital and indus
try that alone secure ability.

Eight Cents q Bushel for Corr,

The Value OF Corn.

Much complaint is made by west
ern farmers of the low price OF corn.
1t is well to bear in mind that the
price of an article does by no means
determine its real value. If nearly
everybody had horses to sell, and
but few persons wished to buy, the
advantage would be with the buy
ers, and they would procure a sup
ply for less than the real value.
This being seen, there would soon
be more buyers, and after a time
prices and values would more near
ly correspond. So it is with corn;
its real value is not so much to be
determined by its cost to the buy
ers as by the value of the product
in his hands. Men have been known
to sell stock hogs at four cents per
pound, and at the same time to sell
corn at fifteen cents per bushel. We
saw this done but few months ago
at a public sale. The hogs were
very light, and the corn in great
abundance, and had the corn been
fed to the hoes it would have
brought from thirty to fifty cents
per bushel, according to the care
and judgment used in feeding.
But a neighbor of this man was
raising hogs Of improved breeds,
and selling them at from six to
twelve cents per pound for breed
ing purposes. He bought corn at
fifteen cents per bushel, fed it to his
improved hogs, and realized for his
corn not less than seventy-fve cents
per bushel. Another neighbor is
raising Short-Horns; buys corn at
fifteen cents per bushel; sells thor
oughbred calves at one hundred dol.
lars each, and choice grade buIlocks
at seven cents per pound. In view
of these facts, it is worth while to
consider the value of corn.

CRlBBING CoRN.-Thc Journnl
Of the Farm says: Many sore-fn-
gered husker has wished that his
load Of corn could be shoveled d.
rect from the wagon into tho crib,
without having to throw out por-
ton by hand until the shovel could
reach the bottom of the wagon. In
loading corn take out a piece of pine
board six feet long and little wider
than your shovel; place an end on
the tail board close to one corner of
the wagon, and the other on the bot
tom end; fiji up as usual. In un-
loading shovel down the board to
the bottom Of tho wagon, and not
an ear need DO touched with the
hands.

Mr.. w. A. Croffut, editor Of the
Minneapolis Tribune, one ofthe spi-
ciest, wittiest, and most practical
writer's in the West, has been taking
a stroll East, and thus discourses OF
the barns he saw there:
MAY l jump from the foot-lights
to the farm?-firom Chicago to Penn
sylvania? In Chester and Lancas-
ter counties, is, l think, the most
finished farming in the Union. The
farms, composed of a brickdust sort
of soil, are cultivated from fence to
fence, every rood, az the farm Of
Flem,ngs and Brittany are cultiva-
ted from hedge to hedge. Cattle
stand with their four feet in two
feet Of clover. Every barn is cow
palace. Every pig-pen is porcine
paradise. Pennsylvania is pre- emf
nently the State Of barns. Think Of
a three-story stone barn, with a
swell front and dormer windows in
the roof, and portico where the
Sybaritic calves chew their cud of
sweet contentment on summer even
ings! And then behold the little
cabin in the rear, where the agricul-
tural Dutchman lives with his
"frow," and where the children lie
on the floor and envy the happy
calves in the lattice portico. Every
barn is three times as large as the
house, which serves as sort of an
appendage, and, as it were, plays
second fiddle to it. The barn is
headquarters, and the house a sort
Of sentry-box where the man resides
who guards it. The barn is slated
painted, cornlced, cisterned, light
ning-roded, and the pig-sty is glaz-
ed, the chicken coops are painted,
and the worm fences are whitewash-
ed as far as the eye can see. l have
no doubt the original dwellers here
whitewashed the acres around the
domicile twice or thrice a year, till
they learned its fatality.
do not know the effect upon cat
tie Of SO much petting. l should
think it would tend to make the an
imals aristocratic, yet do not know
Of any place where the cattle are
moro stuck up than in the West.
There, you know we have no barns
to speak Of There arc townships
enough in Minnesota where every
thing with horns has the same
chance to fight for the warm side Of
haystack in January, and, it must
be admitted, the weaker animals are
considerably humpbacked and sub
dued in their feelings by April.
Moreover, here the farmers use fer
tilizers, bnt in Minnesota we have
an idea that the earth is an orange
to be sucked, sponge to be squeez-
ed, reservoir to be everlastlngly
drawn from without in the least d.
minishing its flow. All through the
central West they are learning what
Minnesota has yet to learn, that, ma.
lures wheat restorer,' to which the
poet SO touchingly alludes, is not
balmy sleep, but manure.

If all the little block cups or hol.
lows arc still in the teeth Of the hor-
SEES lower jaw the horse is not over
six years Of age; when those in the
corner teeth are only left, the horse
is under nine. If the cups are all
gone in the under jaw, but are still
all left in the teeth of the upper jaw
the horse is probably not older than
ten, but this is not a certain rule.
The shape of the teeth tells much to
the experienced observer. In youth
the cutting surface of the tooth is
long from side to side; in old age
long from front to rear. When the
cutting surface of the tooth in the
upper aud lower jaws are all worn
smooth, and so long from front to
rear as to resemble in shape the
nail on your little finger, the horse
is probably not less tn fifteen,
and perhaps twenty years of age.
Ii horse stands with his legs
stretched ont, front and back, he is
probably badly bruised up; neither
should he stand with all his feet
drawn together under him.
If you know but little about the
horse, ascertain if the seller is n
responsible man and make him war;
rant the horse in whatever respect
you desire; if he is misrepresented
in the least, you can collect damage
in suit at law. The disposition
Of a horse can, to a great extent, be
determined by the expression of his
eye, and by the manner of holding
the head and ear. Take hold of the
halter, face the horse, and give the
strap a sudden jerk; if the horse
throws his head up, holds his neck
stiff, and his ears rigid, and his eyes
assume CLASSY look, straight out
from either side, you may look with
confidence to have him put
his feet through the dashboard, and
his fore feet over the other horses
neck three times in four minutes,
the first time you hitch up. When
you hitch horse to wagon and
he turns his head around fiat on one
side, and looks around at you with
meek, lamb-like expression as you
take your place in the seat, then if
you havn't temper that is lamb
like, "child-llkc and bland" watch
him closely.-Land and Lac i'd

Tho Grain Trade Of 1854.

English authorities estimate that
the average number Of years de.
monstratc that heretofore the
worlds production Of breadstuffs is
always equal to the demand, and
that the deficiency OF one nation is
always eked out by the surplus OF
another. There is no apparent rea-
son why this theory should not be
fully confirmed by the experience
of the current harvest year. There
is now an immense and almost un-
paralelled activity in the grain trade
of the world. At this port the de-
mand for grain tonnage exceeds the
supply. Chicago and nearly all the
western receiving and distributing
ports are literally overflowlng with
grain, and the supply keeps pour.
ing in from the interior in undi-
minishcd supply. In Montreal the
exports are beyond all precedent.
California is shipping off her i'm
mense surplus, which will certain
ly not be under that of last year, as
fast as the too limited supply Of YES
sells admits. That the United States
and Canada shall largely increase
their sales of breadstuffs to Europe
during the present year may be re-
garded as quite certain.
Russia, however is the great
wheat producing country Of the
world, her supplies to England
averaging last year nearly one-half
of the entire requirements OF the
country, against only one-fifth fur
nished by the United States. The
capacity of Russia to increase her
supplies to the proportion requisite
to meet the demand for the current
year seems to be involved in some
doubt. According to advices from
Tanganrog, the opinion about the
new wheat crop has gradually be-
como less favorable, and it is now
thought the crop will be barely an
average one. The grain is said to
be good, though rather small, and
it is mostly in good condition. The
early autumn shipments from the
Sea of Azof, as well as from Odes-
sa, are expected to be smaller than
usual. At Odessa there has been
an animated demand at rising
prices. The advance, however,
may be attributed to the compe-
tition of shippers to secure cargocs,
the season for full supplies not hav-.
ing yet arrived. Practically, the
supply of breadstuffs from the vast
empire of Russia seems to depend
on the question of railroad trans
portation and tonnage.
The grain trade Of 1874 prom
ises, then, to be very active with
the markets in favor of producers.
But although the worlds demands
are likely to be far above the aver
age, there seems to be no reason to
that the supply will not
be equal to it. The very knowl-
edge of the necessities OF France
and England and other European
nations will bring out every availa-
BILE bushel of grain in the world.
The immense and unprecedented
flow of breadstuffs from a thousand
different sources affords at once a
guarantee for the future, an incen-
tive to legitimate business enter
prise, and warning against specu-
atom Chicago Mercantile Jour-
nal.

How TO LIVE ECONOMICALLY
The problem of how to economize
in living is one that engages the
serious attention of great many
people. "Many little makes a
mickle" was one Of Benjamin Frank
Inns "poor Richard" truisms that
summarizes the whole system of
popular extravaganza. Ifyou wish
to save money, cconomize in little
as well as in large items of cxpen-
diture. For all the household uses
for which polishing powders, bath
brick and soap are usually used,
excepting the one thing of washing
clothes, Sapolio is by many times
the cheapest article that can be en-
ployed. To say nothing about its
great superiority to all other SUBJ
stances, it is, on the score Of money
alone, by fur the cheapest.

AN INcu A YEAp-A Minnesota

AN Inch YEAR.-A Minnesota
farmer gives, in the St. Paul Pion-
Ger, his experience in blowing field
for wheat one inch deeper every
year. The first year he plowed the
land four inches deep, and harvest
ed seven bushels Of wheat to the
acre. The next year he plowed one
inch deeper and took off twenty bu-
shells to the acre. Continuing to
pillow one inch deeper the next sea-
son, he harvested thirty-one and a
half bushels. In conclusion, he
says: "Last fall l did not go down
the extra inch. feared if l kept
on until l got down fifteen or twenty
inches the straw would grow eigh-
teen or twenty feet high, and that
won't stand the storms of Minneso-
ia; but if we want long straw and
heavy wheat we must pillow deep.
One inch deeper each year is plenty,
and if this rule is followed strictly,
our farms will be in good condition
