More Legs-.-Less Wheels

Farmers are fast learning the lesson
that four feet are better than two
wheels; that q good way to market
grain is to walk it to the purchaser ;
that corn put on legs is enhanced in
value; that true economy is practiced,
when only the valuable portion Of q
crop is put upon the market, and when
that crop is put into meat, or its con-
dition is such as will by one other step
produce it, he has extracted from the
Offering Of the soil the gold and left
the ldross. Again, the raising of cat,
tie, swine, sheep and herses precludes
the necessity for 80 much machinery
and expense in preparing for the har-
vests, and leaves the soil richer and
the owner more OF profit.
It seems but the morning-its very
dawn at that-of the stock interests Of
the great West; the problem of mar
keting the cattle product has been
satisfactorily solved another step in
the great search for economy has been
found; the farmer saves BY reducing
grain to animals and making them
take themselves to market, and the
shipper has found that the carcass can
be prepared and landed in foreign
markets in even better condition than
when starting. and the carrying Of all
the refuse saved; and to-day We can
furnish England with beef cheaper
than she can procure it from her own
slaughter pens. It gives an unfavora-
BILE outlook to the stock interests of
our English friends, but yet we are
the meat market Of the world, or are
fast becoming so; and Johnny Bull can
turn his attention to other matters
properly belonging to his island home,
while We supply him with his round
r0asts !. and porter-house
We c.n now ship slaughtered meat
across the ocean; bear that in mind !;
it is no gess work, We do it; and the
demand for accommodations to do it
extensively will make the facilities
forthcoming. Instead Of sending the
corn, oil cake and other products that
England buys to feed her cattle in its
bulky condition, let us concentrate it
all in the animal, and then send the
carcass only; thus furnishing at the
least possible expense the meat which
they make 80 attractive market for.
They want good beef, will pay for it,
and Of this fact let breeders make .
note It costs no more to send sweet,
tender ard desirable meat than its op.
posite, and it will command a much
larger price. There is no limit to the
demand, and the improvement IN quail.

MICHIGAN AVENUE,

Cu1cAoo. Dec. 29.-As some apprehension
may be entertained by persons who subscribed
to the Michigan Avenue improvement fund,
either on the list circulated by 8. ". Allerton,
James Barrel1, or myself, in consequence Of the
investigation by committee OF the Council
into the acts OF the Board Of Works regarding
that improvement, will here say that wheu the
Mayor and Mr. Wilson were induced to recon-
sider their determination nottn ~ beyond Twen-

OF continuous drive from the centre OF
the city to accommodate not only the residents
Of the South Side, but the North and West as
we'll, and accepted the proposition. As is we'll
known, the joG WIS not only done, but we'll

the grateful Acknowledgements Of the public

by business and p1easufe.scekers. Contractors
who had at various times endeavored to obtata

of more than onc-third of the owners to sub

Of the avenue, grumblers had as well complain
OF Providence as. tue Board. Before the rolling

continuous since. Tae consequence Is, mud from
the cross streets has been carried on the poorly

SOLID BLOCK PAVEMENT.

. CHICAGO, Dec. 229.-Not remembering to have
seen any mention in your paper OF the way OF
laying block pavcments solid,-that is, without
any space between the blocks to be flied with
gravel,-I wish to call your attention to it.
Leaving u space between the blocks gives the
wheels chance to 'broom,'' as the farmers
say, and split off the edges, thus rapidly tn-
creasing the wear and tear. BY LAYING the
blocks close together the wheels can have no
such action upon the edges, and, as the grain Of
the wood is perpendicular to the action OF the
wheels, the blocks will wear a long time, es-
pecially it laid upon what you have shown to he
SO neccssary,-a good foundation, and there
fore settling evenly. About year ago I c1-
amined short piece, Of such pavement at the
intersection of Ogden avenue and Madison
street, and was Surprised at the little evidence
OF wear which it showed. There may be serious
objections to such pascmcnts that are not ap-
parent upon ,hasty examination. and 1 only
write to call atteption to the subject. ".
