Early Maturity Of stock.

The profit of stock raising, for beef,
undoubtedly depends, to great degree,
upon the time required to bring them
to the best condition for slaughter.
CIV. S. writes in the Western Rural
upon the above subject as follows:
at is necessary to feed young stock
well TO promote their growth, and
realize an early market. One or two
years can be gained in the growth and
development of young cattle, by care
full feeding, warmth and cleanliness.
especially with those breeds that ma
ture early. The Durhams are proverbial
for eacly maturity, and aShort-Horn, at
two years, will weigh as much as a ma
tive at four years old. The Herefords
are noted for early development. If
the breeders can save two years feed
and care, by breeding Durhams, it
would be economy to secure that breed
for beef. 1t is not uncommon to find
Durhams weighing l,60O pounds at two
years old. This is equal to a first class
native at four years old. These are
what would be called extra for the
shambles from well-fatted, evenly laid
on beef, and such will always find a
ready sale at remunerative prices.
Large stock growers frequently let
their calves run with the COW till No
vember, and then take them from their
dams, and feed them the first winter on
roots and grain, or oil-cake, or bran.
Their mothers milk gave them such a
start that if kept thriving they will in
the spring be equal TO ordinary two
year olds. There will be no difficulty
In keeping up this rapid growth, be-
cause the foundation has been laid and
the superstructure shaped. They will
be fat for the market from these extra
rations, a. two years old, and will com
mand an extra price on account of
superior quality, of young and tender
beef.
Early development secures an early
market, and quick growth makes rich,
juicy beef. VIII the forcing system
pay? is the question that comes up to
confront us. The vast amount of food
consumed on the long maturing basis,
compared to the trif1ing extra cost of
the short system, ought to decide the
point of economy in favor of the latter.
You save food and capital, and make
quick returns, which govern the cost of
production, and determine the profit on
the capital invested. You consume at
two years this stock, which would 9TH
erwise take four years to get returns.
There is saving in short returns. 1t
enables the producer to reinvest his
capital, which otherwise lies dormant,
and unproductive for years.
The Oftener capital is turned into re.
production. the more it will encourage
active industry. 1t Increases the pro-
ductive power of the operator, and con
tributes to the wealth of the state
When one breed of cattle will bring bet
ter returns than another, it will prove
the rest investment for the enterpris-
ing breeder. Any Improvement that
saves capital and labor, cheapens the
cost of production and benefits the con-
sumner, without injury to the producer. y

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
When To Buy sheep.

As a rule, the best time to buy Is the
late summer-as fiockmasters who have
kept their sheep through the winter
prefer to shear them before selling. 1t
is usually most profitable to do so.
After the first 10 middle of August. the
lambs are ready for weaving, and the
farmer knows pretty well what the in
crease of his flock is to be, and also what
his crops OF grain and grasses will allow
him to winter properly. The season s
yield at home also affords the buyer a
better opportunity for gaugiDg the
number of stock to suit the probable
contents of barn and granary. Ordi-
narily, where one seller OF store sheep
can he found in the spring, ten can be
found IN the late summer or fall. ma

Anarchy in Missouri.

Advices from Hickory county, Mo-,
state that condition of anarchy and
terror exists there, growing out of the
killing, some days ago, of Daniel Noff-
serger and wounding of man named
Rutherford by Deputy Sheriff Rogers,
who, the letter says, resisted him while
serving a process. Rogers is charged
with numbering these men, and their
friends have armed and organized
themselves for the purpose of arresting
him, while he has organized force of
fifty men and defes the authorities.
The Sheriff of the county has sent word
to the Governor that he is powerless to
preserve peace, and asks the assistance
of the State authorities to maintain
order.

STATISTICS show that of the thousands
who die annually, large proportion
are destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the simplest laws of nature.
Such being the case-and figures can
not naisrepresent facts-the conclusion
is that were the causes Of intemperance,
its kindred vices, and disregard OF
natural laws, removed, the average
length of the human lifetime would be
extended proportionately. What agent

MY CROSS.

My cross is heavy, Lord try to bow,
And meekly bear the load that seems 50 great
tremble, faint, and weakly stumble now
Beneath its fearful weight.
The flesh, unwilling fain would shun the pain,
And strives to fling aside the eha6ng crossi
Failing to count the burden certain gain,
And allthings else but loss.
My cross ofEsnds my plessure-loving eyes,
When on it turns my frighted gaze attent;
1t drags me down when 1 essay to rise,
Laden with dark pOrtent.
With smiles and flowers wrsathe my hideous cross,
From others sight its te,rOrs hiding weni
And why beneath its woes | writhe and toss,
The world can never tell.
D let me rest, with cross upon the ground!
Again to lift it up were far too much,
Its rugged splinters may my soft hands wounds
grieve, lOathe to touch.
The Master speaks with low and tender voice;
v. If thou woula'ss traly my disciple be
IlNAmust tsEe Up thy dros5 trs-a lovias essossse,
And bear it after me.
'9espised, rejected, weary, worn and sad,
gladly bore my cruel cross for thee;
Hast thou no gratitude? Art thou not glad
To lift one load for me?
" In jos and hope thy burden place across
Thy willing shoulders. Never lay it down
Till at heavens portals thou shalt change thy cross
For thy long waiting crown
Saviour if / thy crown of love may gain,
No more reckon woeful labor loss;
But take, rejoicing in the constaat pain,
My hidden hated cross.

The EXAMPLE Of the poor widow spoken

of the two mites Jesus declared to be more
than all the gifts of the rich, for that ," all
they did cast in Of their abundance, while
she of her want did cast in all that she had,
even all her living" has been followed in
every age by many children of poverty, in
whose hearts the love of God and of human
ity was mightier than the consciousness Of
earthly need. How like the widow whom
Jesus commended was that poor colored wo-
man who brought a contribution of ten cents
to the missionary cause, and, on being asked
if she could afford it, replied: " Yes to-day
