The chairman of the live stock committee

Shane, in a report to that body, in reference
to the live stock trade of the Territories

The wealth of Nebraska, Wyoming. Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada,

and magniiicence of the nutritious beef
producing facilities afforded by a direct
.rout of transportation to market. In the
country north and south of the Union Pa
cltic road and ats branches, it is estimated
that 5000, 600 cattle can be sustained and
prepared for market without difficulty and
at an average expense of 81 per head per an
mum each season. The drive from the
southwest is extending farther north until
within 4 short period, instead of being at
the extreme northern limit. Omaha will be
in the centre of the great stock growing
region of the West. As will be observed,
the business has been increased and is now

TAN SHEEP SKINS WITH WOOL ON.

Who has n~ot.coveted the possession OF a
bio. nice. well tanned sheep skin with plenty
of wool on it. No better cushion can be
found for all practical purposes OF a busy,
actiye farm fife when riding in a two-horse
wagon. 1t is net fancy, perhaps to put Ill
sioht at all times. Fashion would rather
sit on a hard board than on a sheep skin,
when any one was ready to laugh at so
Common a luxury. They, when large or
neatly jointed, make most excellent robes
and wraps, and can be tastetully shaped
and trimmed in tassels and binding.
A correspondent Of the Rural Home gives
fine following method of tanning, which
nav prove valuable to our readers:
First, thoroughly soak the skins in soft
water: and then with an Old knife or q
sword-shaped stick, or a piece OF an OLD
scvthe about two feet long, with handles OF
wood at each end, remove all flesh and fat,
and trim off skirts or rough edges then
make a mixture Of pulyerized alum, one
pound, with salt, half a pound, and wheat
bran. two handtuls, formed into a paste
with q little water, ana spread over eacii
.kin. This makes enough for one skin on y.
Then roll it up and let it lie in the shade tor
three or four days then shake off. and rub
and pull the skin as it begins to get a little
drv. until it is soft and pliable. and the
great Job of tanning a sheep skin, deer skin,
etc.. as the case may be, is done:
Another: Nail the fresh skins tightly to
{ board. the flesh side out then with a
blunt knife remove all the fat and flesh, and
rub in fine chalk until the chalk begins to
powder and fall off; then loosen the skin
and fill it with finely ground alum, wrap it
and lay it by fer two or three days
IN a dry place after which shake out the
alum and work well, and the thing is COM
plete.

PURE BRED CoTsWoLDs.

The growing interest in the breeding OF
pure bred Cotswold sheep has induced
many spectators to embark in the ilnporta-
ton froln Canada, and also the sale OF this
kind of stock, many of Which have proved
to be only grades and crosses. In order to
correct this abuse. a number of gentlemen
interested, recently met in this city and de-
Cided to form an association for the purpose
of publishing u reliable registry of pure
bred Cotswold sheep. It resulted in the
formation of the American Cotswold Asso-
citation, with a capital stock s.. 600. in shares
of S25 each. 1t was resolved to proceed at
once with the publication of the first volume
of the American Cotswold Record. The
association is modelled after the American
Jersey Club, and has adopted a high stan
dard for admission to registry. The follow
ing is n of the rules adopted regarding
registry;
only animals tracing in all their crosses
to sheep bred by reputable breeders in
Great Britain, will be admitted to record.
In any case where a salts factory certificate
can be furnished the board of directors,
showing that animals have descended from
pure bred locks in Great Britain, without

CROSSES or JERSEY BLOOD.

There is quite a controversy going on in
the Country Gentleman in regard to the mer-
its Of Jersey cross breeds. One writer says:
In the Couatry Gentleman for January 10
there appears an article from S. W., of Ken
lucky, who, while saying that he has not
introduced the subject for the purpose of
giving his own views. goes on to denounce
in the most wholesome manner, the use of
pure Jersey bulls on common COWS of the
Western farmers, reckoning it a damage of
millions of dollars to the farmers of the
West 10 make use of such a cross. That he
is a Short-horn breeder or %fancier, is very
evident from his communication, as is also
the fact that he is practically unacquainted
with the merits of Jersey cattle and their
grades.
OF The three points which he takes in re-
gard to Jerseys-butter. milk and beet-he
admits, or agrees to let others admit, that

Tho Tnih Of Reputation.

/ only assert 8 fact when I say that the
CRY Of reputation Is heard in the landi
and state another fact when / declaire
that the authors Of this cry are not the
"~e1.rebsls" OF the South, anxious to de-
stroy The evidences Of q debt the proceeds
OF which were used to crush the Conted-
eracy, bat the ultra loyal men Of the
West and Northwest. Senator Ingalls, OF
Kansas voiced the sentiment ofthese SEQ
tions when he said in the Senate, when
discussing the Stanley Mathews resolu-
tion, that "the bonds Of the United States
should be paid in silver, II they are paida!
ALL" This Is q pregnant sentence, and
one which wiIe men will ponder. II Is
not unusual to hear In the Capitol, In the
hotels and in places where Congressman
most do congregate, the possible %repudia-
ton OF these bonds discussed. It ia ar
rued that a National debt was never
i~iquidated, and that this country will not
furnish an exception 10 the rule; that the
people arc unable to pay and will not pay
the immense debt with which they were
saddled by the war. l do not think there
will be Reputation, but I do think that
the people are becoming familiar with
the word, and unless the material coudit.
ion oil the country is sensibly improved
that agitation Of Reputation will eEsuel
and that a strong party will spring up
based upon a demand that the boudhold'
ers share the evil fortunes Of the taxpay.

years the number dwindled down to
