iIic Farmer Feeds Them All.

Every calling, profession, and pdrsa.t
is supported by the farmer. He feeds all
nations and peoples. If he is skillful, edu
Gated and successful, trade prospers the
white sails of commerce and peaee float
busily over the seas the myriad looms
and spindles of Our factories, the forges
and anvils of our shops and foundries put
forth their full strength, and make all the
air resound with their din
The skilled artisan and mechanic, with
plenty before them, ply their busy hands
and exercise their acute brains to bring
out of chaos things Of use and beauty
eontrivances to tighten labor and further
prosperity So, too, In the sunshine of
prosperity, all pursuits bask and flourish;
and the nation of great farmers becomes
great.
If the farmers of 4 nation lack skill,
science and requisites for sue
cessful culture-the soils locks up its
treasures then commerce, the profes-
sions all languish and the nation is in woe
and want Agriculture, then, may be re-
garded rs the basis not only OF individual
comfort and success, but If national
greatness. A glance at the status of ma
tions viii at once show that in proportion
to agricultural advancement and skill, it
is classed IN the eye of the world Eng
land, France, Germany, the United
States, Of modern times, and Greece and
Rome, the mistress Of the world of
ancient times-all Of advanced agricul-
ture-how infinitely above tie lands in
which this great industry iangnishes
Speaking of Rome, we caanCt fOrbear
gwen an extract showing the estimation
in which agriculture was held BY that ma
ton in its pa!miest DAYS: "Among the
Romans agriculture was held in the great
est esteem. Cato in the second and
Varro in the first century previous TO the
christian era Virgil at the time Of the
birth ot our Saviour Pa!ladines, Piny
and Columella have all extolied its excel
lences. Several of the noblest families
of Rome derived their patronymes from
vegetables which they we're famous for
raising, such as the fabii pea, lentul,
cicerones, etc. These were the days Of
Roman agricultural glory. Gaia says that
when they praised good man they called
him an agriculturist and husbandman,
and II was considered a great honor 70 be
thus spoken Of Cincinnatus, who -four
ished $50 years before Christ, WAS tho
ploughman OF his own four acres, and
when the Sammito ambassadors visited
Curtius Dentatus, they found him at
york with his vegetables. Cato says:
"Study TO have a large dung-hiil and
to this | would add, ueat your dumb
laborers rs inferior brothers, deprived of
speech. "
How Important, then, that agriculture
should be fostered and encouraged that
the aged veterans Of tie plough should
be hapored for their work sake, and the
young Taught 20 respect and take pride in
their calling. To its praise Virgil sang
his immortal Georges and Cato his high
est philosophy. Should not the veterans
Of agricultural literature meet every en-
couragement in their good work from a
grateful peoplel

THE CATTLE DRIVES OF lSlS.-A cor
respondent of the Times, writing from
Dodge City, Kansas, the great shipping
point FOR cattle, reports that the cattle
drives from Texas this season Will foot mp
from 225 geo to $40, GOO head; some say
100000 A large share of these will be
driven from Dodge City up the Arkansas
and Purgatoire, or into the parks, or over
the divide into the Platte valley. Others
viii go to the ranges on the republican.
During the past three OF four years very
many Texan cattle have been scattered
over the plains to multiply. BY the in
Production of the best blooded stock the
quality of the increase on the plains have
been greatly improved, so that plains fed
bceves are now getting the best prices in
eastern markets The cattle interest of
the plains and Rocky mountain region
are also receiving large accessiOns from
the far west. An Oregon paper reports
that 1C0, 600 head of cattle from eastern
Oregon and Washington territory, and
from Walla Walla and the Yakima and
Snake river countries are ready for driV-
ing across the continent, some to be held
back on the plains of Colorado, Wyoming
and Nebraska for good marketing, others
to be driven direct to Omaha. Within
few years great change has taken place
in the cattle trade, and more is promised
IN the immediate future. The feeding
grounds are transferred from Texas to the
great buffalo plains and the central por-
ton of the continent, with the Pacific
states, are becoming the leading pro-
ducers of beef An estimate derived
from the assessment returns of this year
gives Colorado 550, 900 head; Wyoming,
225, 900; Utah, 10000; Washington,
100000; Montana, 100000; Oregon,
la, goo; California, 650,000. Though
Texas has probably twice as many cattle
as all these together. the indications are
that the great west viii soon take and
keep the lead.

USEFUL TALENTS. be good bust
ness man you must have some talent.
Business is eminently fit for man of
genius, and to earn a livelihood is the
best way TO sharpen ones wits. Besides,
business affairs offer better opportunities
at present than the so-calied professions.
Therefore our youth should be thorough
" and practically trained for business, in
order that they may succeed and become
a credit TO whatever calling they may
adopt. At the same time they should be
educated not to despise labor; for, after
all, it is only by hard work that We achieve
any success worthy of the name.
