ABOUT FINE STOCK.

MEssRs. EDITORS Orchard Spring
Farm is situated near New York
Wayne county, Iowa. 1t is comprised
of 800 acres and is owned by Nathan
lei Brown, formerly of Tazewel
county, Ills. Mr.. Brown has thu
largest orchard in Wayne county
containing very near six thousand
apple trees, covering so acres of land
about Is acres Of forest trees, consist
ing OF cottonwood, black and white
walnut, ash, and elm, besides pear,
peach and cherry trees and grapes, i'm
abundance.
Mr.. Brown commenced to improve
his farm six years ago. He is raising
and dealing in fine stock. His stock
is Short-Horn cattle, fine sheep, and
Berkshire hogs. He also has a herd
of about 35 head of mares, horses and
colts, of Morgan and Leviathan
blood.
Mr.. Brown brought the most of his
fine stock from Illinois, six years ago,
and he has been improving it at great
expense ever since.
Below is list of sales he made on
the 9th of this month to p. z. Castle,
of Ottumwa, for V. Ii. Crosby, of
Tazewell county, Illinois: One T.
year old Short-Horn bull. weighing
1920 bs., for $500; one s-blood To-
month old heifer, for $50; one calf
days old, $lOO; one calf 10 days old,

G. I. Saum, Kellogg, Iowa, writing
to the National LiUe Stock Journal,
says that he sold at the Union Stock
Yards, in February last, sixty-fonr
head of cattle. All of them were two
years old, and had been stall fed. A
portion were natives, and the remain
der half-blood ShOrt-hOrns. The
natives averaged 1926 ibs., (they were
good ones for two-year olds, evident
ly), and sold for $4.65 per 100 u.s.,
making an average of $57.F per
head. The half-blood Short-horn
grades weighed 1895 MS, and brought
$3.50 per 100 lbs, an average of $lOS.-
% per head. This is o difference in
favor of the half bloods of $5O.82 per
head. 1t is q noticeable fact, illustra-
ted daily at the Union yards, where
cattle are sold on their merits, that
grades bring from one to three cents
per pound more than the natives.
This increased price, as has often been
observed, is due to the fact that the
offal Of the improved stock is smaller
in proportion to gross weight and the
carcass proportionally heavy in those
parts which are most valuable, there
are less shank and bone and unsafe
able grissle and more loin, tender
steak, and juicy roast. The grade
sells for more per pound, for the
same reason that silver brings more
per pound than iron-because it is
more valuable. Buteven if the price
had been just the same, Mr.. Saum's
grades, from their additional weight,
would have brought $40 per head
more than his natives. The Increased
price, however, is q substantial and
permanent feature Of the market, and
the figures illustrate very forcibly the
advantage of using thoroughbred
bulls. The man who sells his steers
for e57 per head need not look very
far for the source of his hard times
when the use of thoroughbred bull
would have enabled him TO command
sos per head.

Tur ErpoS Frnr.-The fire at Ell.

THE ELpoN FIRE.-The fire at FL
don Monday night was much more
disastrous than our account given
yesterday would lead people to be-
lieve. We got our information from
a gentleman who was in Eldon yes
terday morning, and we believed
him TO be reliable. We still think that
he was honestly mistaken because he
could not certainly have the heart to
mislcad an innocent youth in search
of an item.
NJ. j. Burns, the insurance agent,
returned from there last night and he
informs us that four buildings were
burned. together with most of theil
contents. Among the rest was the
old Iowa House" formerly occupied
by W. III. Cross, and another build
ing adjoining, both belonging to VIM
Houston. He had no insurance.
The building occupied by J. d. Ba
ker 4 Son, together with their stool
of goods, valued at about "a, 500, wa
totally destroyed. They had insur
ance TO the amount of $1,000 in Mr.
Burns agency.
Mike Shannahan suffered the los
of a small building worth probabl!
| $500. No insurance.
Eldon has been severely scorchet
during the last year, for a new town
but we hope that hereafter she will
meet no more such losses. However
the enterprising people down Their
will soon rebuild, and we hope tina
from the ashes will rise buildings of
more substantial character, and tina
her people may soon forget this ca
lamity.

We learn that quite serious dis.
turbance occurred yesterday on the
A., X. & d. NJ. railroad, near Flag
ler's station. 1t seems that the train
was running along at about the usual
rate when the engineer discovered
some colts and mules on the track
and as the stock could not be scared
off by the usual methods the train
was brought to a stand still. The
fireman then got off and in driving
the stock away one of the mules be.
longing to contractor on the Rock
Island extension, got into a bridge
and had a leg broken. At Flaglel
the Rock Island road runs close
alongside the A., X. & d. NJ. and the
grade being built, is covered with
men under the command of the afore.
said contractor, who, when he found
his animal was hurt, became greatly
incensed, and proposed to kill the
fireman. The whole force started for
the train, and crowded through the
passenger cars insulting women,
frightening children, and threaten
ing the gentleman passengers. The
fireman, by some means, got the on
engine and that train did not stay
there much longer. Our informant,
DIR. Winship, says the railroad men
would undoubtedly have killed the
fireman if they had caught him, and
they seemed greatly disappointed be-
cause of his escape,
