The CROPS. The following informa-
ton relative to the crops is furnished
from the complete report of the De
partment of Agriculture for the month
Of October: The October returns in
dictate reduction in the yield of the
wheat crop of nearly onesixth, while
the quality is somewhat superior. More
accurate statistics may possibly be given
after the results of threshing are more
fully known. The figures point to a
| yield of 245, 100000 bushels. This, how
ever, will be subject Of further exam
nation and inquiry in the November re-
turns. The rye crop of 1876 is reported
as four per cent. less than that Of 1875,
but in quality averages somewhat above
its last years crops; on the basis of Oc-
tober returns the cat crop of 1876 shows
falling off Of twenty.three per cent.
with its predecessor, the crop equalling
last years crop in quality only the con
dltlon OF the corn crop on October 1st.,
on the whole, was nearly average; the
October reports indicate reduction Of
the condition of cotton during the past
month in the ten principal cotton states
from an average of 80 to 50 to so to 81.
The October average of these states is

the archbishop and clergy of the diocese,
parish priests were not now permitted to
give absolution to a Catholic young man
who was paying attentions to Protest.

lady who was receiving the attentions of
a Protestant. young man, with view to
matrimony. In cases where members of
the Catholic church did contract such
marriages, they would be compelled to
receive first the consent of the archbish-
op, before the parish priest could marry
them. 1t has also been determined that
all marriages in the Catholic churches
in that city must take place in daylight.

ONE MILLION MICH COWS,

In the dairy show opened yesterday at
the Agricultural Hall, a novel and interest
ing addition is made to the agricultural ex-
hibitions periodically claiming metropolitan
attention. The dairy farmers constitute an
important section of the community, the re-
turns OF last year showing that in England
alone there were 100000 mich COWS, of
which number it was calculated 1,2OO, 900
were in the hands OF $4,000 persons. The
value of the milk produced by these COWS,
putting the price at sixpence per imperial
gall, and estimating that each COW yields
400 gallons a year, would amount to twelve
million sterling. With the facilities afforded
by the railways and the operation of the
adulteration act, the milk trade is rapidly
increasing, so that there is as much excuse
for an annual exhibition of dairy produce as
of horses, poultry, dogs, cats, bar-maids,
donkeys, or babies. If the dairy show leads
to the vending of pure milk and total ami
hilation of "Simpson,' "calves brains,n
the cow with the Gon tale," and other
adulterants, until recently said to form com-
ponent elements of "London milk" the
British Dairy Farmers association will not
have lived in vain.-London Echo.

SETTING MILK.

Col. Waring, in the October issue of tae
Anaericaa Agriculturast enters a mild protest
against my running off with all the glory
that belongs to deep setting. [ think he
misapprehends my method. I am not so
much a deep setter as a cold setter. | do
not believe it practical to get all the cream
from milk set deep, and cooled only with
spring water Or a deep cistern. | have put
a thermoeter in many springs and wells be-
tween here and Canada, and failed to find
one lower than so degrees in summer. By
the time this water could be utilized to cool
milk 1t would be several degrees higher.
There is no principle in dairying that | am
more sure of than this: Every five degrees
you go above 40 with deep cans, you lose
ten percent. of the cream. Col. Warnings
plan saves the quality of his butter. but in
opinion he loses in quantity. Nv meth
od saves both. Furthermore, he needs a

consider one of the heaviest burdens i'm
posed upon dairymen, and l am sure if Mr..

THE PLACE OF ANIMALS,

A writer in Our Dumb animals very per-
tinentiy remarks that the doctrine that ami
mails are mere automatons-bundles of Gin
stincts to be wrought out into actions in a
mechanical way-cannot explain all the OBJ
served phenomena of their lives. It is some
times urged that we publish too many an
ecdotes of animals that those things may
do to amuse children or excite the sympathy
of the sentimental, but have no substantial
use. The reverse is true. These anecdotes,
Illustrating the conduct of animals under
exceptional circumstances bear directly up-
on the problem of their true place in the
scale of life. Whenever it is shown that
any creature, under pressure of new condi-
tons puts forth special powers, however fee
BILE, to meet those conditions, a gain has
been made; something we call reason, in
talking OF ourselves, has been manifested.
The action has ceased to be automatic. The
animal is not a machine; a mere blind force
working through al organism would do
nothing of the kind. Our file of anecdotes
is an arsenal of facts. showing that within
the range of their physical adaptations all
animals do think-the mental phenomena,
though limited, are in kind the same as in
men. To illustrate would be to reproduce
these anecdotes. 1t is better to ask our
readers to observe the life that is going on
all around t .em the closer they observe,
the surer will be their conviction that this
must be the case.

DAIRY DEPARTM Mt.
BUTTER IN FRANCE.

II our dairymen need a spur, an eye-open-
err, a lesson which speaks volumes in three
words, here is one at the head of this arti-
Gle. Butter is actually brought from France
and sold by the New York dealers. And
this is thus because there is an actual search
ty in the market Of good butter, put up in
an attractive shape for small consumers.
$1.15 a pound for his products, another 81,
and another Is cents the year round, at his
dairy door, it is easily seen that it will pay
to bring butter across the ocean from
France. if it is only good and shapely
enough to suit the fastidious purchasers
who will have something nice, whatever it
may cost. All. this butter is made from
choice COWS; choicely fed on clean, sweet
food, the milking is done in the c%leanest
manner The milk is handled as carefully
as though it were nectar, the cream churned
with clock and thermometer, the butter is
worked with skill, and is made up in shape
ly cakes, which do not require to be cut
when brought to the table. Compare then,
this cake-hard. golden yellow, sweet, fra
grant and tempting to all the senses-with
an unsightly chunck, which is cut out or a
greasy key, and smells of old age and ram
cidity, and is made from ill kept cream
from % flthily lodged and carelessly
MIXED, and is churned anyhow, and the
difference is amply accounted tor,-N. Y.

LIV { STOCK.
INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER IN
SHEEP

In ordinary fed sheep, retention of urine
and Inflammation of the bladder is not of
frequent occurrence; but highly-fed ANS
and wethers seem to be peculiarly liable to
1t. This is a disease which requires the
most delicate and at the same time the most
speedy treatment. The animals which be-
come affected are generally those intended
for some practical use, such as for exhlbi-
ton, which nave received liberal feeding,
and are consequently of more than ordinary
value to the stock owner. Being in a high
ly-ted condition, they do not withstand, SO
well as other sheep, the operation necessa-
nv to get rid of the disease, and the fatality
from the complaint is great. The disease
is induced by gravelly sediment forming in
the bladder of the animal, caused, there can
be no doubt, by the rich food of which they
partake, The first thing to be done when
the disease makes its appearance is, to en-
deavor to pass the sediment off by gently
rubbing the part where the Inflammation is.
The part at the same time should be bathed
with warm water. Should this have no Wis
IDLE affect upon the Inflammation, immediate
piercing of the bladder becomes necessary,
or the Inflammation being communicated to
the kidneys, and subsequently to other parts
of the internal organization, the animal
will soon succumb to the extreme pain.
Some sharp instrument should be used
such as a pair Of scissors-to penetrate the
part with, when, if successfully done, the
sediment may be removed. This operation
is the only one calculated to save the ami
NAL after the disease has exceeded its pri-
mary mild form, and should there be any
appearance of straining, the sheep should
be at once killed. Too much roots, partic-
ularly mangolds, are to a great extent blam-
able for this disorder in sheep, SO that the
farmer should regulate the quantity of this
feed when given to his highly-fed animals.
While the animal suffers, a small quantity
of carbonate of potash (about a drachm) dis
solved in water, should be given to it once
or twice a day. Easily digested food should
also be ~given.-EngliM Livestock Journal.

at it on a large scale. Prices are CONSIDERED
good.
To cure collie in horses, take some goed
homemade soap. and make about half a
COLON of of warm soapsuds; then take a
quart bottle, fill it, and drench the horse.
Sometimes you may have to give as much
as a half gallon. but not often. lie IS almost
instant relief: at any rate, nothing would be
lost by trying it, as it is entirely harmless.

TRIM THE HOOPS OF COLTS.

In many instances the insensible portion
Of the hoofs Of colts and of young horses
will grow out so round and fiat that frag-
ments sometimes will be broken off. This
is more particularly the case if colts are al
lowed to run at large occasionally on hard
ground and gravelly and stony lands and
hard roads; the hoofs will wear fast enough,
as nature evidently intended they should.
But if young horses are kept on smooth
turf. their feet must be kept short by arti-
fetal means. The most convenient way to
trim long hoofs is to let one person hold a
block of hard wood against the hoof, or
hold the hoof on the square end OF the wood
while an attendant cuts off small pieces with
a sharp chissel and mallet. Use an inch
finer chissel rather than a larges one, as a
two-inch chissel will require heavier blows
with a mallet. A pair of sharp nippers
Sometimes vulgarly called snips) may often
be employed for such a purpose when a colt
is so FESTIVE that the chissel and mallet can
not be used.
We nave in mind a colt having unusually
long hoofs, which had in his play stepped
upon some hard substance and broken off
the front of one part of the foot to the quick.
The accident was attended with some bleed
ing and excessive lameness, the suffering
brute being unwilling to put his foot to the
ground. Ten minutes work would have
saved the animal much pain, and the owner
might have had the benefit of three months
growth, instead of having it arrested for
chat period. But the occasional breaking
off of a part of the hoof is a mere trifle when
compared with other mischiefs resulting
from the same cause. When the toe is too
long the strain on the fetlock joint will be
greatly increased, so that permanent injury
to the suspensory ligament of the foot often
follows. Young horses frequently have
wind-galls and other evidences Of sprains be-
fore they are put to work. In many in
stances such ailments occur where shorten
ing of the toe has been neglected until the
hoofs have grown to al unnatural length

STOCK.

A writer in the New York Times puts the
question plainly, in saying, if a farmer is
raising cattle for beef and he can add two
hundred pounds to the carcass of each by
the time it is ready for the shambles, by the
use of a Shorthorn bull, it will certainly be
profitable for him to pay a good price for
such a bull. This is the average result of
using thoroughbred bulls on the native
COWS of the country, as estimated by the
best stock-breeders and this two hundred
pounds is a clear gain, for it is produced by
no greater consumption of food. If the use
of a thoroughbred ram ON a flock of ewes
increases the weight of fleece one pound on
the average, certainly more than " five in a
hundred can make it pay - whether more
h five would or not is another question.
And SO with hogs. The difference between
the common breed of the past, and the inn
proved breed of the present, is beyond COM
parison.
Nothing can be more p~enny-wise than the
practice. of many of our farmers Of breeding
from scrub and grade boars. To the farm
er who breeds ten or more sows. a thor
oughbred boar is cheaper at $50 than a
grade boar for nothing, even if the hogs are
to be fattened. A single dollar. OH eac pig
would make up the money, aud / am con-
fident that have seen in many cases a diff
ference of S. each, with the same care. be-
tween thoroughbred hogs and those that
have been bred hap-hazard. On hundreds
of farms to-day can be found stock hogs q
year old that will not weigh over eighty
pounds each, and that are not ten pounds
heavier than they were in December. 1t
offered for sale now they would not bring
over five and a half cents a pound, and they
have probably consumed as much grain as
the breed of hogs that at the same age,
weigh. two hundred pounds. and are worth
seven cents a pound.
The man who is carefully breeding pure
stock is a public benefactor, and ought to
be well paid tor what he offers to the pub
lie, for it is valuable. Such men should be
gatronized and encouraged, for the farmers

cannot do without them. In the good time
coming. more attention will be paid to this
matter than at present. Not only should
this question be discussed in the grange, but
the members should cooperate and pur-
chase such animals as will improve their
stock.

The sombre color of the Eastern war cloud, as
seen through tine medium of cable dispatches-the
threatening character of which was partially con-
frmed by reported depressons on all the European
Exchanges-has exerted a marked influence in com
mercial and financial circles during the week
ending with to-day. Breadstutfs were par
tcularly affected, as Also only to lesser
extent, were all other articles Of export. Prices,
except for cotton-which declined-advanced ma
teraly amid considerable activity and excitement
But with the receipt of more pacific news and
a recovery on the foreign bourses business
became dull again and prices nearly recovered their
antbeIlam positions. In general merchandise. such
as dry goods hardware &c, the trade has CON
timed dull and unsatisfactory. Indications are
not wanting to confirm The TRIBUSE's views of
two weeks since that the Autumn business was then
practically over. Goods were again aceumulating
