Too Many itniIronds.

In view of the fact that there is hard
ly locality in the United States where
the people are not anxiously advocat-
ing the construction Of thorough
line, cross line or feeder, it may seem
little singular that we should advance
the position that we are building too
many railroads. And yet we do ear
nesiiy warn the people that We are
building too many railroads. True,
we are developing the country with
each new one, and quite true that in
many localities there is necessity for
more than we have. We mean to say
that of the lines built by public land
grants stretching out beyond the Dor
ders of civilization, opening MP and
throwing upon the market millions OF
acres of new land il being oyerdone,
such rapid extension is ruinous policy
10 all concerned. II is scattering our
agricultural population over so much
territory. II is encouraging immense
farms, aud consequently Improbable
farming. While IL increases the pro.
duction enormously, it scatters is 40
widely that the cost of collection rs
represented in transportation charges
il necessarily out of proportion to the
market value. Let ms be understood.
n is well known that any road can
transport million bushels of grain at
a much less cost per bushel than dne
hundred thousand. Now, instead OF
concentrating the producers along the
shortest possible length of road as
sound policy would dictate, we bring
every influence 10 bear to diiTuse the
production as widely IA possible, there
by adding largely to the, at best, great
or proportion that is paid 10y the CON
sumner. II is quite safe 10 estimate
that there il sufficient land east Of the
Mississippi, il even half cultivated, 10
produce the entire present product OF
cereals. II will be seen At once that i
il we're concentrated within that spac,
that n much greater proportion would
fall 10 the share Of the producer.

wool-Growing a success.

We are asked why wool-growers do
not fail as other men sometimes do.
We answer, simply because the growth
of wool and the increase is as perpetual
as the time in which they live Ii
matters not how dark the night il, the
wool continues TO grow, and it matters
not how the wind blows or how it may
storm, CESSATION is never longer
than $50 days. The lambs will average
one-half females, and often twins, and
they breed the next year, making "a
double compound-a perpetual growth
and no loss, Everything that does not
go into market goes back TO enrich the
pasture, and though the landlord may
be sick, it does not stop the growth of
the lambs.
Not so with other business. The
mechanic or the man who works for q
salary, has nothing to grow while he
sleeps; when his labor ceases his in
come stops, and his expenses are per-
petual. IL is true there are perpetual
expenses attending the sheep and goat
business; but under the most unfavor-
eble circumstances, where they can
live on the commons without feeding,
the meet of the wethers will pay all ex-
penses without drawing ON the wool or
the increase of the ewes. Hence il is
like perpetual stream flowing into a
basin it is only question of time to
fill it to OVERLOOKING The drawback
seems to be that men do not relish
living away from thickly populated
settlements and towns, depriving them
selves of society for the sake of money.
This objection can be obviated. In all
new countries there are villages COM
stantly springing up, near which good
sheep ranges can be had, where the
owner can visit his flocks daily, and
also give his family the benefit of
schools and society.-Fdcts and Fig

4 Goat.

Everybody knows what family pet is.
III he has not one himself, his neighbor
has; and that is often just as bad.
These dear creatures are continually
proving themselves such in sense
other than afiectionately. As an illus
tration of this, we have heard Of fond
father who purchased goat in the
city for his boy, and paid three dollars
for il. He gave three dollars more 10
get IL into the country for the summer,
aud then, not caring 10 take il back,
boarded IL out at farmers for the
winter The next summer he found
the goat awaiting him, and a bill OF
fifteen dollars also, showing that the
hardy animal had only cost six times
as much 10 keep in the year as il had
cost 10 buy. This creature lasted for
six or eight years. and was constant
source Of comfort and expense-partic.
ularly the latter.

Such an action is faulty aud the rea.

the hind-legs should bo wide enough
TO allow the feet TO pass outside OF the

every inch of lateral action requires
exertiOn, costs effort, aud exhausts
strength and that the horse should be
gated, therefore, SO as TO "open mp -

Patching IIous

1t is an unquestioned fact among
those who have made careful examina-
tions, that our corn crop is going TO he
light, and the greater is the necessity
for eeonomizing in this great cereal.
Too many farmers put off the fatten-
ing of hogs until it takes from three to
five bushels more per head, to put ON
given amount of pork, than if the feed.
ing was commenced while the weather
was still warm. Ii is not enough to
throw in little corn and fodder once a
day, but from this time on they should
be crowded Put on every pound of
fat possible before the cold weather
sets in; then, if the price is not high
enough, they may be kept without
losing flesh, on very small amount of
corn, for two or three weeks.
