Experience has shown, within the last five
years that the old Northwestern States are tc
be among the hest dairying regions of
country in the world. The grasses of Illinois
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin are peculiarly adapted to grazing
and raising cattle for dairying purposes. A
late Indiana farmer abiding to this subject
says.
1.-THE wealth Of some of our dairying dis
trictS is enormous, Icrkimcr, n. y, is said
to ship annually over 100000 pounds of
cheese and 100000 pounds Of butter worth
"a 100000. Little Falls, n. T., perhaps as
much. st. Adams, VT, ships 1000, pounds
OF cheese, 2,750000 pounds of butter, worth
in the market $125O,OOO The village of
Wellington, Ohio, shipped 100000 pounds of
cheese in 1860, worth 100000. The products
of the dairy are sold for cash, and hence the
returns are quick. This industry enables the
manufacturer to reduce large bulk of food
into a small compass, through the two pro-
ccsscs of feeding cows and manufacturing
the products There is yet room for its
extensive increase in the West
1t seems to be well settled that cheese can
only be successfully and well made by CO.
operation and the establishment of factories.
The grange brings farmers together in an
organization. Have we not many localities
where the manufacture of cheese would be
more profitable than the crops now being
produced? Look at the above figures; they
look as rich as cream q foot thick. We hope
to see soon cheese manufactures on large
scale established in Indiana"

WANTED TO be HEARD FRoN--lf any body has

ment recommended by the proprietor of DR..
Sagc's Catarrh Remedy for the cure of Catarrh
and has not been perfectly cured the proprietor,
r. V. Pierce, would like to hear from that per
son, and by addressing him at the World Dis
pensary, Buffalo, y. Y, such person, if there be
one, will hear Of something to his or her advan-
tage, ~ the Doctor is in earnest when he offers
800 reward for case of Catarrh which he can
not cure, and is perfectly able to pay it if he fails
in q single case, az any one may ascertain upon
inquiry. The thorough course Of treatment re-
ferred to and recommended by DIR. Pierce consists
in the use Of Dr. S9ge's Catarrh Remedy with
Dr. Plcrce's Nasal DOuChe. which is the only
means by which the fluid can be carried high up
and applied to all parts OF the nasal passages and
the chambers connected Herewith, IN which
ulcers exist and from which the discharge pro.
cecds In addition to this thorough application
Of the Remedy, which should always be used
warm, DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
should be taken earnestly constitutional treat
mcnt, without which few cases can be cured As
the disease is always constitutional and must he
treated accordingly. This treatment has no un-
pleasant features about it, and has the advantage
OF never driving the disease to the lungs as there
is danger Of doing 10y the use OF strong, irritating
snuTs or poisonous solutions.

Texas Cattle-Raing.

A residence of few weeks in San Antonio
says writer in Scribner's for January
gives one good look into the cattle trade OF
Western Taxes. One might with Justice call
it an indolent induStry--,for it accomplishcs
great results in a lazy, disorderly way; and
makes men milhonaires before they have had
time to arouse themselves and go To work
Cattle trading is u grand pastime with hun
drcds Of Texans. They enjoy the adventurous
life on the great grazing plains, the freedom
Of the ranch, the possibility OF an Indian in
cur,ion, the swift coursing on horseback over
the great stretches, the road. Nearly all the
immense region from the Coloradoto the Rio
Grande is given up to stock raising. The
mountainous regions around Sam Antonio
offer supurb facilities for sheep husbandry
and the valleys along the streams are fertile
enough for the most exacting farmer There
ere millions Of cattle now scattered over the
plans between San Antonio and the
Bio Grande, and the number is steadily
Increasing. 1t is not uncommon for a single
cdvidual to own 100000 head of cattle
