Benefit Of Good Stock.

Last week lot of sheep sold in this
market for $2.75 per GENITAL. The av-
erage weight of the animals was eigh-
ty-nine pounds, nearly making the
price per head $l.46. Monday lot
of forty-six sheep, averaging ITO
pounds in weight, sold for 1915 per
GENITAL or $977 1-2 each.
To pay for a little extra care and
cost in selecting the stock from which
to breed, and for breeding and shelter
ing his flocks, the owner of the last
mentioned lot gets 1882 II per head.
1t will be perfectly safe to say that
the high priced sheep did not cost
$500 per head more, before they were
put OH the market, than the others
did.
Also twenty-nine steers averaging
LOO pounds sold for $7.62 1-2 per
GENITAL. At the same time there were
in the pens 5000 cattle, from the in.
terror shrubs to matured and fairly
bred grades. OF the best of these was
a lot of fifteen steers, well fattened
large framed, and averaging 1859 lbs
in weight. Fol the latter, $3.50 was
asked and buyers laughed at the price
They sold $500, bringing $S1.95 per
head, while the first named lot brough
Sl4.20 more, or $96.40 each. A few
such margins would go far toward
paying for a good bull.-DroUer' $
Journal,
The lesson taught by the above ia ct
is. that good breeding, and careful
raising are both essential to the high
est success in stock raising; and that
his success is apt to be in exact pro-
portion to the attention paid to these
rules.

Chambers in horses is one of the
worst diseases to which the horse is
subject, and it is really transmissible
to man, in whom it is almost invaria-
bly, fatal. 1t is engendered by impure
air, hard work and low diet. Pre-
vention-The nasal discharge may
communicate the disease TO another
horse which is afterward placed in the
stall formerly occupied by the diseas-
ed one. The discharge adheres to abe
manger and other parts of the wood
work of the stall. The cleaning of
the manger and other parts of the
stall may be affected by scrubbing
them with boiling water, with solu-
ton of potash and soda, and with a
solution of chloride of lime, using a
shovelful of it to pailful of water.

Choice Of Rams.

Nothing is so important after sort
ing flock of sheep down close as to
be very particular in selecting a ram;
never use male of any kind but full
blood, and be sure he is descended
from a family that goes to make up
the DEFICIENCIES you lack in your flock /;
in this way the flock is Systematically
and rapidly improved, and the owner
is well repaid for the diligent atten-
ton which he has given this import
ant object. If the flock is large the
owner will find in this principle of
selecting everything that he can want
In proportion as the flock improves he
should regard this as a rule that ad-
mits of no deviation, for the principle
that like produces like extends as
powerfully 10 the defcts as to the ex-
cellencies of the animal. On this prin
ciple of selecting breeders you may
continue to improve

"Plsnt Trees. I"

The influence of forests upon the
sources of water supply and climatic
changes is not small, and beyond that
our forests are being cut down SO fast
that unless something is done their
complete extinction will only be q
matter of time. Congress alone can
enact such measures as will prevent
our becoming entirely dependent up
on foreign countries for our supply
of lumber.
Kansas farmers can do the State q
great service by planting trees. And
now is the time to engage in the work
The Kansas farmer who neglects it is
not doing his duty to his State, HIM
self, or his descendants. Plant trees,
and plant plenty of them.
Every farm in Kansas ought to
have growing upon it thrifty grove
of trees. Nothing would add more to
the value of the land aud the comfort
of its owners, or DE of greater bene-
fit to the crops, the climate, and the
life of the State. A crop of young
trees is more important than crop
of corn or wheat.

Secretary Gray, in his last monthly
report of Kansas agriculture, gives
interesting data showing that while
there is quite diversity of opinions
as to exact results, the growing ten
dency" is to abandon broadcast SOW
ing for the more economical system
of drilling. With well-known Eng
lish farmer (Mr. Smith, of Woolston),
the tendency is in opposition to the
drilling system. Having .practiced it
for some time, he has quit it and gone
back to the old, and every way pref

cast sowing. When doctors disagree,

There are very few apple orchards,
either in poor soils at the East or on
the rich lands of the west, that are
not benefited by cultivation or by
manure, and in some soils both are
necessary. In young orchards it is
better and cheaper 10 rely chiefly on
cultivation; in old bearing orchards
top dressing with manure has given
satisfactory results, the manure ap-
parenly promoting the growth of the
frit, and increasing productiveness to
a geeater degree than near stirring
of the soil. This has been found out
by farmers whe make the most money
from their old orchards.

How can l keep my poultry from

ones die.-A. E., Atlanta, Georgia
The pip is only symptom of some
fever, like roup. Wash the birds
head with warm water in which some
sulphate Of zinc has been dissolved;
feed warm food with plenty of Cay
enne pepper mixed in it, and have a
little sulphate of iron (copperas) dis
solved in the water that the fowl
drinks. Keep all affected fowls away

Leibig makes the statement that
rain water filtered through fields or
garden soil does not dissolve out a
a trace of potash, silicie acid, ammo
MIA, or phosphoric acid. The soil does
not give up to the water one particle
of the food of plants which it contains
The most continuous rain cannot re-
move from the fields, except mechan-
ically any of the essential constituents
of its fertility. The soil not only re-
tains firmly all the food of the plants
which Is actually in it, but its power
to preserve all that may be nseful TO
them also extends to withdrawing
from rain or other water all the am
monia, potash, phosphorlc and silicie
acid in solution.

The Report Of u Great hhiiFosau'
We referred a few days ago 10 the
earnings of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh
railroad for the last four years, as ahow-
Ing a gradual let down in business in the
way Of earnings. We observe that the
report Of the New York Central road, the
greatest road in the country, shows the
same thing. For instance during the last
year It's earnings were S26,579,OS6 as
compared with SOS, 0l6,5sS in 1876. and
500, O27, 2ls in 1876, and SSl, 65O,SS7 in
1874. The falling off has been very
largely in ireights and not in passen.
ger transportation. In 1874 the pas.
senger earnings were s7,4S7.357 and
the freight earnings s2O,S4s, 725, whereas
in 1877 they were, for passengers, $685.
sl6, and for freights s~lG,424,S17. New.
crtheless the company has continued to
nay s per cent dividends on It's immense
capital Of ss9,42 800. This has beendone
by the immense reduction in expenses
that has taken place. For instance, the
expenses in 1874 we're $ls,SSS,2 POS, and in
1877 they were reduced to Sl4,94G,lG2.
The tonnage Of the road did not fall of,
but increased. It was the rates, owing to
the excessive competition, that cut down
the receipts. 1t csrriedI o,S5l, 1856
tons in 1877 as compared with 6,ll4p67S
in 1874. The tonnage, however, fell of
as compared with 1875 about 100000 tons.
This was owing to the low rates and in
creased business done by canal this last
