Cattle 10 Belgian.

Belgium, strictly speaking. has no dis.
tinct race OF cattle, all are either Short.
horns, or a cross called Durham Dutch
and another not bad mixers, known a:
the Ardennaise. The object of the Bel.
GUM government, under whose auspices
the late show was conducted, is TO secure
two races of cattle-one for meat, the
other for milk: for the first, the supply
of pure blood, imports annually 100 head
from England, at q cost each of 1900
francs, re-selling them at public auction
for the sum Of 900 francs. 1t is a mis-
take to accord prizes to old bulls, fit on.
ly for the butcher. and also to animals,
mere mountains of fat. A very beauti-
full animal, a Durham cross, was much
admired for its symmetery it came from
Eastern Flanders, was born in 1871, and
weighed % cwts. Belgium has nothing
to signal in the way Of sheep, but it is
surprising to observe how backward is
all that relates to the poultry yard, espe-
cially in a country of small holdings.
France was at one time in arrears in this
respect; at present the produce of her
poultry yards goes far to pay the rent.
The excellence of Belgium cattle may
be attributed also to the importance at
tached to their manure, which, with deep
tillage, constitute the elements of sue
cessful farming. Hardly thirty years
ago twelve tons of farm manure was con-
sidered sufficient per acre; thrice that
quantity is now employed. 1t must not
be concluded that what is enormously
called chemical manures" are repudiat-
ed these manufactured manures are in
request, as complementary to that of the
farm, and while intended to secure to
the soil the equivalent of fertilizing mat
ters carried off by the crops, not the less
aims in producing an abundance of fod-
der to secure plenty of manure.-Cor.

Need Of Commercial Habits on the Farm.

The time has now arrived when it be-
comes necessary, in order to make farm.
ing pay, that it must be conducted more
on business princiT les than formerly. 1t
is now seen pecuniary success depends,
much more than it has in the past, upon
a knowledge of commercial habits, and
that what is termed commercial acumen,
is as valuable on the farm as in the
counting room. This qualification, how
ever: must be seconded by industry, or.
der and system. thorOug hness of culture
adaptation of the crop to the locality and
market. The farmers movement will
no doubt do much to awaken thought and
quicken the perceptive faculties OF the
farmer, and result in an untold amount
of influence in bringing about the adop-
ton of commercial habits in conducting
our farming operations.

Ulisa Ansns Farmers.


1t is . matter Of regret that there i
not . greater oencert of seton in the
farming community. Union is strength
and If the farmers could ever work to.
gether, they could rule the country, %
to speak, that is, they could carry their
point in any important public measures,
which may have 4 bearing upon their
interests. But some how or other, they
seem to distrust and dispsrage their
own calling and the men who are wholly
identified with them. We have seen
this strikingly illustrated in the late
political canvas. Now, that it is over
we shall not be accused of a political
bias, OF of introducing politics in an az.
ricultural journal where they do not be-
long. We allude to them merely for IL
lustration.
We all know that politicians, lawyers,
manufactures, predominant
in Congress. The farming interest has
less weight there than any other profess
sion. And yet our farmers, instead of
voting for man who is either q farmer
Or wholly identified with theft interest,
will continue to vote and choose man
ufacturer or lawyer or q merchant to
them in preference to farmer
who is equally able. 1t shows q want of
respect for their own calling, want of
spirit de corps, so to speak, which is char
,cteristic of the body of men who cult
'ate and live by the soil. We suppose
t is on the general principle that "dis-
,ance lends enchantment to the view.n
A manufacturer or a professional man
whom they know little about is deliber-
'tely selected in preference to a farmer
Who is equally good, though better
'nown. Will it always be so7-Massa.

The following is, in substance, what
Western dairymen said about this sub
iect, at the late convention in Chicago;
To buy scalawngs and odds and ends
is all wrong, and breeding from inferior
males is equally as bad. The State
should offer bounty for the scalps OF
all such animals. All should raise their
calves from the best COWS. Good calves
can be raised on sour milk; skinned
milk is stronger food for calves than
even new milk. Aryshires, Jerseys,
Holsteines and Devons all possess the
milking qualities. Short Horn families
also furnish good mixers. When q good
mixer is found her progency should be
raised. The qualities of the sire should
also be considered. Really the best COW
for the dairy is the one which will re.
turn the largest yield for the amount Of
feed consumed. Size is much in hel
favor. Color cuts no figure-but may
prefer red or white. Calves should bt
raised; sire as we'll as dam should bs
from milking families.

HOW LITHOgRArHY WAS Dis
COVERED.

After the FIRST triumphant perform
ance Of Moznrt's opera Of "Don Juan,"
at Munich, the theatre was deserted BY
all except one man. Alois Sennefelder
had still much to do After seeing
carefully around the stage thatno sparks
had ignited about the theatre, he retired
TO bis little room he had three things in
hand--a polished milestone for rnzors,
which be had purchased, ticket stamp,
moistened with printers ink, and check
on the theatre treasury for his weeks
salary. He placed the check on ia
BILE, when a gust of wind took il, swept it
high up in his room for moment, and
then deposited it in basin filed with
water. Sennefelder took the wet paper
dried it as well as he could, and then to
make sure Of it, weighed it down with a
milestone on which he had careleasly
before put the printing stamp. Return
ing TO his room on the following morn
ing he was surprised to see the letters Of
the stamp printed with remarkable accu-
racy on the damp paper. He gazed
long at the check, sudden thought
flashed through his brain; he wonder
ed If by some such means he could not
save himself the weary trouble he con-
tinually had copying the songs Of the
chorus. That very morning he went out
and purchased larger stone, and COM
: menced to make experiments, and, as we
all know, finally succeeded in discover
ing the art of printing from stone
lithography.
