The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-01-07

Father Boehm, the aged Aeihodi {
preacher, who died at Staten Island
recently, began his ministerial career
in 1877, and from that time till last
summer was an active worker in the
cause Of Ills church. In April last he
delivered a Centennial ermo before
the Newark conference, and the one
hnndredth anniversary of his birth
was celebrated two months later by
the same conference, when he gave
an outline of his Tiff. and work in the
church. In 1893. lie was chosen by
Bishop A%shhury for II travelling conf
panion and was with hiis, Far five
years. Father Boelm in recalling
ti-ose days was accustomed 10 say
tina there was but one Metbodlism in
America then. AT the Newark ami
rersary last sumner he said with
desp emotion, ~ wept when, in 1911,
we we've rent asunder, and now, as 1
stand amid the ihronging memories
of n century, | plead and pray that
Methodism, North nhd South, may
become u again." He WAS with
Bishop Whatcoat at the time of tie
latter's death, and closed the eyes of
the great historian Of Methodism,
Jesse Lee. A simple but hallowed
life has gone nj of the Methodist
church, but the memory of it will be
fragrant and beautiful for years to
come.

According to q correspondent of
the New York San, President Grant
intends to nne something less than
n half of the territory of Mexico to
the United States within sixty days.
Like other predictions of the New
York San regarding Administration
affairs, this n will prove to be false.
1t is not improbable, however, that
Mexico may be called upon very soon
for a settlement Of any balance that
may be decided by the Mexican
Claims Commission to be due to this
country. When this demand is made
the Administration will undoubtedly
call the attention of the Mexican au-
thorities to the fact that our Govern
ment has been the friend and firm
supporter of Mexico at all times and
under. all circumstances; that the
overthrow of Macmillan was main
ly accomplished by the American
agencies, and that when the Powers
of Europe combined to destroy the
Mexican Republic, although we were
engaged in a great civil strife, our
Government did not hesitate to bold
ly protest against the attempt to over
turn the sacred principles of the
Monroe Doctrine. In the light OF
such en- explanation as this, Mexico
cannot fail TO make an earnest effort
to comply with ourjust demands, and
1t may be confidently expected that
the result will be a satisfactory and
friendly adjustment.

Dressed Weight of Hogs.

Farmers who have had but lit tie experience in feeding animals for the market, are often disap- pointed because their beef and pork do not weigh as much as they supposed. They are likely to omit certain points which ought to be taken into account when estimating the dressed weight of animals.
 l. Age. An old animal will not dress as much, in proportion to it's looks as young and grow ing one.
 ,. Fatness.-A creature fatten, ed will weigh a great deal more than one equally as large, but which has not been equally well tattened.
 3. Grain fed.-An animal which has had twenty or thirty bushels of meal, will dress much heavier than one which was in equally good order when the fattenning was commenced, and which may look equally well when finished, but which has only been fed on half as much meal.
 1. How long to feed grain.-A creature which has been mealed for five or six months, will weigh more than one which had about the same quantity of meal, but which has only been fed half as long. In all cases liberal anc long continued feeding is essen tial to the attainment of any srea' success in fattcning animals.

Better Pasture.

the nest profitable branches of farming. It requires less labor .snd generally brings larger re turns. It keeps up the fertility of the farm, for what is produced on the farm is returned to it in the form of manure.
 But it requires good judgment to carry on the live stock busi- ness, just as we'll as to successful lv carry on any other business. The stock grower must wisely make his plans, carefully consid- CT beforehand what needs to be done, and then, in the proper sea son. see that it is done. Every stock grower in this latitude has seen great failing i'll his pasture, and consequently in his stock, beginning, generally, in August, and sometimes lasting till winter. It is occasioned by the drouths to winch we are subject. These cause great loss to the stock grower. If favorable rains fall throughout the summer, and there is no drouth, the stock goes through all right; but such sea sons are the exception-not the rule. Many farmers do not pro vide enough pasture, even for fav- orable seasons, and certainly not enough for seasons of drouth.
 This is the season of the year to determine to correct such CT TOTS. Pasturage is the most prof. table crop the farmer can have. More pasturage and less corn should be the motto of many a western farmer. And most farm CTS are sadly behind in providing this winter pasturage. Stock can frequently be carried through the winter in good condition on the grass of the fields. Is not this cheaper and better than to culti- yate, and cut and harvest, and then feed out to the stock what has been saved? The stock have plenty of time to work for them selves, and will gladly do it, if you will reserve pasturage for them-and this saves expense and labor of farm hands. Blue grass and orchard grass furnish the best winter pasturage, and may be sown early this spring, in connec- tion with clover and timothy, which they will finally eNtermi nate.
 The best pasture for seasons of drouth is clover and orchard grass, which have long, deep roots, and keep green when blue grass burns out. The roots of blue grass run too near the surface, and conse- quently are easily affected by dry weather. In all pastures, howev- CT, a variety of grasses if pretera- ble, as each has it's season of greatest vigor, and when one yari- ety is on the decline, another is coming into it's fullest vigor. We do not SOW near the number of varietias that the farmers of Great Britain do. But here we can, and should, SOW timothy, red top, blue grass, and clover, if we want pasturage that will give us the largest returns. We hope the readers of the Rural World will give the matter of pasturage more consideration, for successful and profitable stock growing is largely dependent upon it.-Colman' s

1876. 1876. PROSPECTUS!
 OFTHE RUSSELLvILLE DEMOCRAT,

THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent ill it's course, unde- no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak it's own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of it's duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. Iii short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for its chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.
