Two Million Dollars in Eggs,

! From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
On Wednesday last we mentioned
the passage through this city of q
car load Of silk worm eggs, on their
way from Japan to France. From
the Chicago Tribune we learn fur
Their particulars of this valuable car.
20. 1t was the most valuable con-
signment that ever passed across the
continent, being worth something
over two millions of dollars. The
eggs were purchased in Yokohama
by the French government, and ar
rived in San Francisco December
18th. Only three days were lost in
transferring them 10 the freight
car, and December 18th the
precious packages commenced their
trans-continental journey. The eggs
are packed in leaves, layer upon
layer, and placed in alright tin
boxes, which are, in turn covered
with mating. The car is kept at q
temperature below the freezing
point, and no light IS admitted.
The mating covered boxes are
piled on either side. There is
nothing to be seen there but mat
ting, and the appearance of the
boxes is certainly not indicative Of
the value of their contents. This is
the first attempt to import silk
worms via the United States, and
if human foresight avails anything
there is every reason to look for
success. In this country, very few
are familiar with the silk worm,
and can have no idea Of the yap
pearance Of the eggs. In England,
where the climate Is less subject to
extremes of temperature, the silk
worm is as common pet as the ca.

HOGS.
Ring versus Tanner.

RowLEY, Jan. %, 1873.
ED. BULLETIN:-In reply to one
of Mes questions in your issue Of
the 10th, I will give my experience,
if you deem it worthy a place in
your columns. l have always made
it practice to ring my hogs as
soon as they are large enough to
do any damage by roofing, and have
never yet lost hog by cholera, or
any other disease. But as to cut
ting their noses with the so-called
"hog tanner" cannot say, as have
never used it. Ishould not wonder
if it would produce cholera; am
rather inclined to think it will. AT
any rate, would as soon lose a
hog by cholera as to have it used
on one of mine. / think the invcn-
tor should be provided for in an in
stitution similar to that on the hill
southwest of Independence.
I fully agree with Nc in regard
to the Importance of grass for hogs.
Plenty of grass and range for the
first six months are highly essential
to profitable hog-raising, to be fol-
lowed by corn fed on good floor.
In this way we can fit our hogs for
market at one year old, and a hog
that it takes longer than that to
make weigh from three to four hun
dred is not very profitable. b. F.B.

Fruit Raising in N. e. Iowa.

Under the above caption J. T..
Mott writes to the Peoples Paper
as follows:
The Tefoski, Red Astrachan,
Fameuse, St. Lawrence and Haas,
are general varieties, and 95 per
cent. Of all the trees of bearing age
of these varieties that have been
planted in this part of the State
came through with little or no inju-
ry, and in many orchards have
borne full Of fruit this season, and
are now set full of fruit buds for an
other season, and St. Lawrence and
Plum Cider in orchards, stood the
test last winter, and have borne
fruit this season, while Ben Davis
Of bearing age is killed under all
circumstances, for in all my obser-
walton the past season, l have not
seen anywhere one of them left
alive that had been planted ten
years. The Wealthy was origina-
ted in Northern Minnesota, stood
last winter there and it ought to
stand here if it would their winter.
Pewaukee Is a child of the Olden-
burgh. l have trees five years old
that seem just as hardy. l got
some Walbridges from Wisconsin,
that were grown 80 miles north of
this, which were not injured as l
could see by freezing. l also saw
some old trees, 20 years old, of Wal
bridge, last spring, which were in
heavy bearing for several years,
that were uninjured, and l learn
they have borne well this year. l
have perhaps taken more pains to
follow it, and learn whether it would
do for this country, than most any
one else here, and my opinion of it
is, that it is more hardy than Fa-
meuse, and as what we most need
is long keeping apple, I look on
the Walbridge as of deal of value
to this country. If planters will
plant Tefoski, Red Astrachan, Fa-
meuse, Haas, Plums Cider, Pewau-
kce and Walbridge, and let Ben Da-
Wis, Perry Russet, Winter Wine
sap, Golden Russell, and a host of
other half hardy sorts alone, with
near fair treatment they
may expect to succeed.

Overgrown Hogs.

There is not one single advantage
to be claimed in favor of big hogs.
There meyer was a monster hog
which did not make the man who
raised him pay for every pound he
weighed. They do not furnish an
ounce of meat gratis, but charge
full price for every ounce of their
carcass. When slaughtered it takes
one long time to get cool to the
marrow in the bones, and then when
the hams are put in salt it is troub:
lesome to finish them to the center.
-Four hundred live weight is as
large as hogs should be in order
to make good bacon. Beyond this
size there is a loss somewhere.
Either the feeder, butcher or con-
sumner is cheated, and as a general
thing every one who has anything
to do with the big hog, will find, if
he observes closely, that they are
not SO profitable as the smooth, nice
hog of only $50 pounds weight. A
small head, with little upright ears
and legs, are marks which indicate
the greatest amount Of food consum.
ed, and it will always draw more
readily the attention of every butch

The Agriculture Of the Future.

There is curious and very radi-
cal article in the December number
of Fraser's Magazine upon farming.
The writer's belief is that in the
time to come, a farm will be an i'm
mense food factory carried on by a
company. The companies will be
joint stock concerns, issuing shares
of from $50 to $3.50 each, and work
ing from 5000 to 10000 acres. The
buildings of the farm (such is the
scheme) must be placed upon the
highest point of land, SO that water
and manure may be conveyed over
the surface by gravitation. Ma
chinery is, among other services, to
shear the sheep. A whole staff of
butchers will be employed to kill
and cut up bullocks and transmit
the meat in pieces suitable for the
London market straight to the sales
man, without the intervention of
dealer. The salesman will be in
the company's employ and will only
sell their meat. The company will
make an effort to get more than one
crop in year. But the most sur
prising of the results which await
the future of farming will be the RI
pening Of crops by means of an cleo
trio current passed through the
plants; or by some other kind OF ar
titicial heat.
One point Of which the writer
makes much, is the impossibility of
profit in England from the cultiva-
ton of wheat. Wheat is almost the
only agricultural product which has
not risen since 1870. The only sort
of corn which is much dearer now
than then is barley, the reason be-
ing that barley is used in distilla-
ton and brewing. In the last fifty
years meat and dairy produce have
greatly risen in price. Yet wheat
remains the same, notwithstanding
the rise in the price of labor and
in rents. No increase of demand
has any important effect upon the
price of corn. A rise in wheat will
at once bring any quantity of it to
England. The importation Of wheat
by England in 1859 was 100000
OF quarters, or 100000 bushels.
1u 1871 the importation was nearly
100000 quarters. Yet the price
of wheat in 1871 was lower than in
1860. 1t is very plain, says the wri-
ter in Fraser, that wheat cultivation
can no longer be profitable, and it
would be better to use the land thus
occupied to raise produce, which
must be imported to England at
loss. One Of the difficulties which
the farmer must meet is to find some
green produce which will take the
place of wheat in the rotation of
crops. This obstacle the author OF
the article thinks very serious one.

Treating the Wrong Disease,

Many times women call upon their
family physician, one with dyspep-
STA, another with palpitation, anoth-
err with trouble Of the breast, anoth-
err with pain here and there, and in
this way they present alike to them
selves and their easy-going and in
different doctors, separate and dis
eases, for which he prescribes his
pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when, in reality, they are
all symptoms caused by some uter-
inc disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palate for
a time, they are ignorant of the
cause, and encourage their practice
until large. bills are made, when the
patients are no better in the end,
but probably worse for the delay,
treatment, and other complications
made, and which proper medicine
directed to the cause would have en-
tirely removed, thereby instituting
health and comfort instead of pro-
longed misery.

Art Department--l874.

The illustrations of The Aldine have won
worldwide reputation, and in the art centers of
are examples of the highest perfection ever at
tanned. The common prejudice in favor of
"steel plates" is rapidly yielding to more edu-
Gated and discriminating taste which recognizes
the advantages of superior artistic quality with
greater facility reproduction. The wo0d-Cuts of
the Aldlne possess all the delicacy and elaborate
finish of the most costly steel plate. while they af-
ford better rendering of the artists original.
In addition to designs by members Of the Ma
tional Academy, and other noted American ar
lists, the Aldinei will reproduce examples of
the best foreign masters, selected with view to
the highest artistic success and greatest general
interest. Thus the subscriber to the Aldinc will,
at triting cost, enjoy in his own home the ref.
ming influences and pleasure Oft true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by
ThOs. Moran and j. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spec
ial designs appropriate to the season, by our best
artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its
predecessors.
