TIDE CROSS AND 49, ~--NT.

The repulSe OF IleVna h"o e""'0
lat; on throughout England, and raised the
hone Of the friends Of Turkey everywhere
It has. however, no real significance, as 1t
cannot affect the ultimate result. Inc re-
cent cb, ,cks arose from overweenlng conf
derc. in their own superiority; in fact
from a contempt of the Turk, ami moi
from .nv Jack Of martial ability.
The imp slling motive Of the M'ascovite's
march to Constantinople, wells up from
everv hearthstone, Of the broad empire, ii
i. a tradition nou'ished as holy-since the
time of Ivan the Terrible,-that it is the
mission of Russia to pull down the Cres-
cent from the minarets Of St. Sophia, and
elevate the cross in its stead, as sign to
all nations that Coustantinaple is redeemed,
and its temples dedicated to Christian wor-
ship. -
On the other hand, the Turk has the
instincts, and impulses of conlneror'
stories of the great victories of Brussa,
N,copolis, and Varna, when the hated
christians were scattered. like chatf, by the
scin;tar of the Ottomans, are told by de-
virsbes in every medreesse Of the empire,
and by every camp fire in the army, re-
kindIing the ancient enthusiasm, which
impelled them as conquerors to the gates
Of Vienna, In our day, wars, although
fought by machinery in great measure,
must in the end be determined by the pre-
ponderence of men, and money, Turkey

the ignorant twaddle about help from their
m. relisiopis,s in Central Asia is absurd.
The Caspian Sea- solely Russian, and Per
sia stand in the way of aid from that
quarter, even if the occupation OF Book
hara, Khiva, and Samarcand. the three
centres of Mehametism, by Russia, rem
dered it possible. Inthis context although
wise the conquest Of these places appeared
to n,int to q march on India, it would
appear, that their first use were to prevent
aid coming to Turkey, from the fanatical
bordes Of these Kahnats. Some trit1lng
help may come from Tunis, and Morocco;
these North African Mohamadens, no long,
er have any navy, and wanting transpor-
tat;on must stay at home, and curse the
Gouiars.
Russia has over six times as many in
habitants as Turkey, and hence can put
into the field relatively larger armie'.
Assume that the military population Of
Turkey is 100000; that of Russia upon
the same ratio would be 10000 900, hence
although the losses were equal at the
battle of Plevna, the means Of recupera-
ton are wildly different-it is the story Of
Lee and Grant over again. Lee, like the
Turks, fought upon interior lines of de-
fence, and actually killed more of Grants
troops, in the fights from the Wilderness
to Appomatox, than he had soldiers, we,
it availed naught, as the army of Grant
was continually flled-Lee's wasted away
as he had no more military population t(
fall back upon. Turkey is bankrupt, ha'

TT PAYS TO RAISE STOCK.

Stock farming pays better than any other
kind of farming. In addition, it keeps up
the fertility of the soil, while crop raising
exhausts the fertility of the soil; and if per-
sisted in long, it will ruin it, unless expen-
sive fertilizers are used. Then there is far
less hired labor required in stock farming
than in grain farming, and al, farmers
know that good, faithful, skillful hired men
are hard to be found. The less hired men
employed. the easier, pleasanter time the
wives and daughters Of farmers have. I'm
proved farming goes hand in hand with i'm
proved breeds Of stock and the improved
methods Of caring for and improving them.
More or less stock, and of the choicest
breeds, should be kept on every farm, and
the sons and daughters of farmers should
take an interest in it. They will care but
little for scrubs-but get the improved
breeds and see the interest they manifest in
them! Fine stock will cultivate an interest

PAGERS AND THE TRoTTING INSTINCT.

JOS. Cairns Simpson, in the California
Spirit, answers inquiries as follows: In the
first place it is not true that the Hiatoga
family is the single exception, not tracing
across the border. Oneida Chief was by
Kentucky Hunter, the %grandsire of Flora
Temple. How, the great PAGER OF his day,
until defeated by his greater rival, P%ocahon-
tas, was by Harris IIambletonian; boca-
hontas by Irons Cadlnus, a g%randare OF
Eclipse, his dam by the thoroughbred
Shakespeare; James X. Polk was by Wood
peeker or q son of W~oodpecker. The list
might be extended indefinitely, in tact there
has never been a first-class PAGER from the
Canadian origin, unless the blood has been
very much mixed with richer strains.
In addition to the above, Silver Tail, Pet,
Dolly Spanker, Tom Parker, Picayane of
the olden time, and later, Ohio Boy. Billy
Mayo. Dan Voorhees,, John Mckinney, Pol
ly Ann, Niger Boy, Pete Whetstona; and
bred in California or Oregon, Jim Brown,
Nimrod, Defiance, Lady St. Clair, General
Butler, and many others-all either OF
known blood distinct from Canadian, or by
their appearance showing they were ex-
empt from the strain. We have seen q
Thoroughbred horse by imp. Yorkshire,
owned by a Mr.. Sapp, come up to the start
ing point on a fast pace, never breaking I'M
til the driver was stride. The rack is not a
slight modification of the pace, differing rs
much therefrom as it does from the trot.
It is not Il difficult matter to learn 4 ma
iority of horses to change from a trot to q
rack. We have known one to acquire the
fast pacing gait. which had not Il natural
tendency that way. The rack is the walk
very much accelerated, many old horsemen
terming i'll the running walk. The pace is
a distinct and peculiar manner of progress
ion. not confined to any particular family
or breed, and hardly ever shown ia a natu-
raj state. 1t is not unusual to see foals
racking, a few may exhibit the pace, while
nearly every old PAGER running in the field

animals of the same grade shipped from
here. The assertion that has been made
more than once, by interested English par
ties, that, American fattened beef; beei
which is fed exclusively on grain, is inferior
to English fed beef which is mace largely
from roots supplemented with OIL cake anu
shin stuff. The comparison is altogether in
favor of the corn TED.
The advice which the Scotsman gives to
English feeders, in relation TO the improve
ment of their cattle is pertinent, ana should
hold still greater force here than there. we
have too many rough cattle. Here, as there
we paw too little attention to blood. Here
as there. we want cattle finer IN the bone'
shorter ia the legs, broader along Tie back'
better sprung in the rib, and more sym'net-
rical about the head and neck. In short, II
will nav to use good Shorthorn and Here
ford bulls on our native stock. mus the
fourth cross will give l5-l6th OF pure blood.
1t can be accomplished in ten years, and 1t
will take a critical eve to distinguish these
from pure bred cattle. For all practical!
purposes, Onc-itdll atlu Il VGAo NS"
stock are good enough.
Now that well bred bulls can be bought
for from $50. to, 500 each, it will pay the
ordinary farmer to invest. 1t is true that
well bred cattle muet have good care ana
feedinr. Our best feeders we'll know that
this good feeding, even with ordinary bred
cattle, is what brings the profit to the feed
or. They know that an animal that has had
to rough It in winter, will not fatten salts
factorily. Breeders of stock must learn
his important lesson. 1t is the tailsnlan to
success anywhere. The feeders and breed
ers of swine, years ago learned this lesson.
Our cattle breeders and feeders arc gIadu-
ally learning the fact. 1t is only those cat
tie that are we'll kept from callhood up,
that bring the best prices in our markets.
The singular fact is, that English farmers
should not long ago have learned this les
son. There is, however, more excuse there
than here perhaps. There grain or its
equivalent is high. Here grain cost but lit
tie more than hay. Indeed many farmers
consider it cheaper to raise an acre OF corn
than an acre Of hay. SO far as feeding is
concerned, there is no doubt in the corn
zone of the West, it is the cheapest feed
within the command Of the c%ultiyator.-

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Citizens and the Water Works.

AS an inducement to Messrs Smith
q Culver. proprietors of the Winnie
mucca Water Works, to build the
works. certain citizens agreed to pay
them a stipulated amount of money
upon the completion of the works. In
consideration of this payment Smith
q Culver were to bind themselves, their
heirs end assigns, TO supply water for
extinguishing Rres and sprinkling the
streets for twenty years free OF charge.
hYdran.s, to which hose can be at.
tached for extinguishlng fires or
sprinkIiug the streets, have been
erected at convenient points, and the
proprietors are now prepared to turn
them over TO the town. An agreement
to this effect. signed by Smith i
Culver, has been placed in the hands
of District Attorney Harding to be
placed on record when the citizens
comply with their part of the contract.
This matter should be attended to at
once. At present the water company
is not obliged to furnish water for FIRE
purposes or for spriDkling the streets.
They have performed their part Of the
contract in good faith, and it devolves
upon subscribers, for the purpose mem
toned, to do likewise. The agreement
is open to their inspection in the Dis
