The Western is & stock raising coun-
t,y, and our future prosperity depends
upon the kind OF stock we raise On the
farm. Shorthorns are the leading beef
cattle of the world, but until within the
last few years their numbers have been
limited. Now, however, their popular
ity has become universal and the success
of the numerous short-horn sales the
past two or three years show their APP
probation by our Western farmers and
stock men. We are asked, what is the
legitimate end of all this short-horn
enthusiasm. We answer, beef, and the
sphere of these short-horns is on our
Western farms. Many farmers think
they cannot afford to raise short horns,
while the fact is, they cannot afford to
raise scrub stock, while short-horns can
be had at the present prices. They
cannot afford to raise scrub cattle any
more than scrub hogs. Short horns
have stood the test, and have proved
their superiority for beef. They are
good feeders, grow and fatten fast, ma
ture early, and make superior beef,
which always brings the highest price,
and if every farmer cannot raise
thoroughbred short-horns, they can and
ought to raise grades, by breeding
thoroughbred bull to their cows. No
farmer can afford to breed a scrub or
grade bull, which is no better for breed
ing. Western farmers raise cattle to
utilize the corn, hay, and grass grown
on the farm, because it pays better to
feed these products to good stock than
to sell them of the farm, yet there are
many OF our Western farmers, raising
fine crops of the best feed, who still
raise only scrub stock, and they com
plain that it doesn't pay to feed a steer
fifty dollars worth Of feed and sell him
for only fifty dollars. Now, had that
fifty dollars worth of feed been fed to
short-horu steer, he would sell for one
hundred dollars UIestera .4gricul

FOR THE FARMER.
MORE HEAVY HORSES.


More heavy horses are wanted in all
our horse markets. The prices rule
high, and the supply is short, while the
demand is almost unlimited for heavier
horses. The heavy freight wagons IN
the cities, towns, and manufacturing
districts require them, every farmer
wants at least one team of heavy horses,
to be able to plow deep with a good
large pillow, or to haul q good load on
the farm wagon. While We have large
surplus Of small, worthless horses, and
although some of them promise To be
fast, there is no market for them.
There are too many of the one kind, and
every farmer has one or more to sell,
but he cannot get enough for them to
pay for the cost of raising them. Then
it doesn't pay TO raise the small horses,
but since the introduction of the Nor
man and Clydesdale horses they have
added great Improvement by crossing
with orr Western horses. The success
of these horses has spread all over the
West, and almost every enterprising
farmer is breeding them, because they
will pay profit for their raising and
always find ready market. This year
large numbers of these horses have been
imported, and they are now well Ilt-o-
duced throughout all the " sstefn
States. = WesteT1e Agriculturistt.

Man is the creature of interest and
ambition. His nature leads him forth
into the struggle and hustle of the world.
Love is but the establishment of his
early life, or song pipe in the intervals
Of his acts. But woman's whole life is
a history of the affections. The heart is
her world it is there her ambition
strives for empire it is there her avar-
ice seeks for hidden treasures. She
sends forth her sympathies on an adven-
tGre. She embarks her whole soul in
the traffic of affection, and, if shipwreck-
ed, her case is hopeless, for it is bank

The modest virgin, the prudent wife,
or the careful matron, are much more
serviceable in life than petticoated phil
osophers, clustering heroines or virago
queens. She who makes her husband
and her children happy, who reclaims
the one from vice and trains the other to
virtue, is a much greater character than
ladies described in romance, whose sole
occupation is TO murder mankind with
shafts from their culver or their eyes.

A LEGAL FRUIT BARREL.

Why is il that the Western States
have no legal barrel for the sale of fruit
and vegetables, which are 50 universal
" sold by the barrel. Different localit~
les have different sized barrels, and often
in the same market no definite size is
us I'd, as was the case in this city until
last year. The apple l.oaiers each used
{. different sized barrel, which caused
much dissatisfaction; when the Adams
County Horticultural Society adopted
the -four barrel as a standard in this
market This dealers all concurred, and
have the past season been using the one
size, which has proved entirely satisfac-
tory both to the growers and dealers.
In most Of the Eastern States they
have legal barrel.
In the State of New York any person
making or using barrel for the sale Of
potatoes apples, or ounces, which shall
not contain equal to 100 quarts dry
measure, is liable to fine.
The Massachusetts Legislature of 1875
passed. the following act;
Sec. 1. The legal and standard meas
ure of barrel of cranberrie5 shall be
one hundred quarts, level measure.
SEC. 2. Every manufacturer cf barrels
for cranberrie5 shall brand his name
