Western Farming.

We take the following extract from
letter by Milton Briggs, to the Ftae
Stock Gazette:
In presuming to offer few words
of advice to Western farmers, would
first suggest the idea of their employ
ing more brains and less bodily labor
In their stock in trade.
The feeding of all surplus produces
Of the farm to such animals as will psy
we'll for feeding, is the true policy OF
Western farming, and gives wealth to
purse. Corn and grass, the reliable
staple of the Western prairie, natur-
ally implies cattle and swine as tho
proper source of income TO the couu-
try. Upon this basis is founded the
wealth of Iowa and adjoining States,
The science of converting raw mater
ial into live stock ia the leading science
of Western farming. This art aud
science, to be properly understood. re,
quires more thorough research iaio

this rock we observe the wreck Of the
frail bark of go many Western iarmaEs.
In this connection the idea of fiuo
stock has fitting place. But Let us
first understand by what is meaut tho
phrase, "F'ine Stock"
tits well.known fact that all OF our
native races of domestic animals hayF,
through years of exposure and bsd
keeping, become degenerated and COM
paratively worthless.
Our horses generally are uusopHd
and lacking in vigor aud vitality, en-
dure but little labor and die young.
Our meat cattle are il that condition

These facts have been progop up pos

THE TARTAR WHO CAUGHT 4
TARTAR.
BYJOHN G.sAyE.

There is trouble in Hungary now, slasI
There Is trouble on erery hand
! For that terrible man,
The Tartar Kahn,
Is ravsging all the land,
lie is riding forth with his ugly men,
To rob and rayish and slay;
For deeds like thoEe
You may well suppose.
Are quite In the Tartar. way.
And now he comes, the terrible chief.
To mansion, grand and old;
And llc peers about,
Within and without,
And what does his eyes behold?
A thousand cattle in field and fold,
And sheep all over the plain;
And noble steeds,
OF rarest brseds,
And beautiful crops of grain.
But finer still Is the hoaricd wealth,
That his rayished eyes behold
IN silver plate,
VI wondr0us weight
And jewels Of pearl and gold
A nobleman owns this fine estate;
And when the robber be sees.
IT'S very queer,
He quakes with fear,
Aud tremblcs bit in his knees,
He trcmbles In fear Of his precious SAFE,
And scarce rcpressing Eroan;
Good Tartar, says he,
Whatever you see
Be pleased to reckon your own"
The Kahn looked round in q leisu1ely way,
As one puzzled to choose;
When cooking his ear.
He CHANGED to hear
The creak of feminine shoes!
The Tartar smiled villianous smile
When like lilly in bloom,
A lady fair,
With golden hair.
Came gliding into the room.
The robbcr stared with amorous eyes
Was eyer SO winning face2
And long he gAzed,
As one amazed,
To see such beauty and grace.
A moment more and the lawlsss man
Had seized his struggling prey,
Without remorBe,
And-tAking eOrse-
He bore the lady away.
Now heaven be pnisc.l!" the uOblemsu cried
Tor many mefcy to mel

Unto his will
Bat God pity that Tartar!" said he.

We notice with pleasure that Mar
ahal Chapman has appointed Hon
Geo. q. Heberling, OF SAbula, jackson

shall for the Northern Division ol
Iowa, with headquarters at Dubuque

Mr.. Heberling was one of Mr.
Chapman's strongest opponents for
the Marshalship. He is, at present,
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, and a gentleman
in every respect well qualified for the
position he is appointed to.
In this connection we notice the fol.

Chapman, the newly appointed Mar.
shal Of the State, has chosen George
9. Heberling, of Jackson county, late
Chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee, ss his Deputy.
Heberling was q prominent candidate
for the post of Marshal, but the Har-
Ian influence routed him, and through
Allison, who made personal fight on
the matter, he secured this last sop.
The majority Of our citizens were
strongly in favor Of our present Depu-
ty Marshal, j. G. Shattuck, and rec
commended him for tho post, but with.
ont avail. Both Chapman and Heber-
ling are now in the city.
Tho Des Moines Register, which has
been bitter opponent of Mr.. Harlan's
for years, took occasion the other day
to remark that 1t had the very highest
authority for saying that ex-senator

way, directly or indirectly sought to
influence or control the appointment
of single Federal officer for Iowa.
