sumed by their stock. Our stock men
ought to begin to post themselves Oh the
most economical system of feeding. They
ought to try experiments. to ascertain
whether it will pay to cut feed, to grind
grain, to cook food, to pulp turnips or not.
This is an age of progress, and if we can
make any advances on the present system
of feeding we ought to do it.-Isul World.

STOCK FEEDING I'm GREAT gREy.
AzN AND AMERICA.

There is wide difference in the system
of feeding stock in winter in the old country
and in the new. In Great Britain, for
instance, every care is used to get the
greatest possible benefit from every mouth
full of food given stock. Great crops of
turnips are raised, and instead of feeding
them whole, or even cut up, they are
reduced to a mass of pulp by machinery,
and then this pulp is mixed with cut straw
Or hay, and allowed to lay in mass for
two or three days, till the first stages of
fermentation commence, as it is thought
the food assimilates better and does more
good in this condition. Hay and straw are
almost universally cut up and meal of some
kind mixed with it before being fed to
stock. Corn is obtained from America,
but always ground into meal before being
fed. Oil cake meal goes from this country,
by hundreds Of tons annually, to Europe,
to be fed out to stock. 1t is thought too
expensive by our people to feed, but the
stock raisers of Great Britain purchase our
supply, pay large freights on it, and then
think it the cheapest and best feed they can
obtain. They wet it. and mix it with cut
hay and straw, and meal, and pulped
turnips, and feed from this variety and
mixture to their stock, and find it pays.
They count the manure from such feeding
Of very great value, and are careful to save
every particle Of it and apply il, to their
lands.
In this country, we will gradually work
into more, economical system of feeding.
As land becomes more valuable, grain
commands higher price, and meat
greater value, our stock feeders will see the

ST. JoHN's CHURCH, Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, contains an organ which is
probably the oldest in this country. 1t was
built in London, and presented to Queens
Chapel, London, by Thomas Braddle, in
1713.' 1t remained unpacked for seven
years, being considered wicked instru-
ment, but was finally set up and used till
1856, when it was sold to st. Pauls Church,
Newburyport, Massachusetts, where it was
made to do service until 1886. 1t was then
purchased by st. Johns Church, where it
still remains, doing effective service.

FIERCE FlGHT WITH WOLVES.

On a recent night, Norwegian farm
hand, living northeast of Spring Valley,
Fillmore. County, Mimi, in the edge of the
big timber, had a lively fight with three
wolves. He started out after dark with
single-barreled shotgun, to shoot down
wolf, whose howls he could hear some dis
tance off in the timber. The stars were
bright in an unolouded sky, and even in the
woods the hunter could see quite plainly
for short distance. The howls of the an
imal led him in the right course, and the
sounds grew palmer as he advanced and,
after about half hours search, he espied
the wolf crouched upon a brush heap, in an
'opening" in the shrubbery-evidently
den The wolf not retreating upon his ap-
Iproash, he Immediately fired at it.. The
wolf sprang at him before he could make
the first motion toward reloading his gun,
and in about three seconds the snow and
shrubbery were flying right and left in
tussel between man and beast. Embold-
ened by hunger, the fierce animal en-
deavored to fasten on the mans throat, and,
though the hunter succeeded in giving the
wolf two or three severe blows on the head
and sides, it seemed only the more en-
ragged and ferocious, and gave tongue to
continual howls and snarls while maintain
ing the fight. Two other wolves, evidently
called by the howls of the first, appeared on
the scene. The last two were smaller than
but as ferocious as the leader. Clubbing
his gun, the man finally planted terrific
blow on the neck of one, laying it out life
less, and then began retreat for the timber
edge, beating off the brutes as well as he
could. When the clear field was reached,
his weapon was minus the stock, and he
held only bent gun-barrel in his hands,
having hit the trees about him oftener than
the wolves; but he succeeded in keeping
them from doing any serious injury until
he came to the open country, where he
ran for dear life. The wolves followed
him but short distance.

PROVIDENCE has an Enoch Arden case
Thirty-ons years ago, John Thatcher and
Ellen Valley were married in that city
Two years later, the gold fever broke out
in Australia, and, leaving his wife and one
child, Thatcher departed for that far-off
country. For several years letters passed
between them, but the husband did not
meet with the anticipated success, and
could not, or would not send money for
the support of his wife and child. Finally
the letters ceased, and for many years no
tidings were received from him. In the
meantime, Mrs. Thatcher married Mr..
Corbett Stowell, who died eight months
after. After a brief widowhood, she mar.
riod Mr.. James Conwell, who died at the
end of seven years. After an absence OF
nearly thirty years, Thatcher returned tc
this country, and went to work at a mill il
Saco, Me-, and thither his wife, having
heard of his whereabouts, went and found
him. Thatcher returned to Providence,
and is now living with the wife of his
youth.

Constantinople has only one military
hero-the heroic defender of Plevna. When
he returned to the city on March 9th the
Sultan received him with tears in his eyes,
kissing him several times and saying: "You
have shed luster over the Ottoman arms;
you have raised our already high military
honor and glory in the eyes of the world.
l swore before God, that l would do you
high honor the day should see you. |
will perform that oath to-day, my gallant
hero.' The Sultan conferred onphim the
order of the Osmanli, frst-class, with
star in brilliants, presenting him, at
the same time, with. an ancient
sword which had belonged to
Sultan Hamid l. The words, "To the
Ghazi," were engraved on the saber, and
His Majesty remarked that the precious
sword belonged by right to the defender of
Plevna. As soon as Osman left the Palace
the crowd, as a correspondent of the Lon
don Globe describes the scene, threw itself
upon his carriage, with shouts Of Long
life to the Ghazi." The enthusiasm at this
moment was intense. Old men, who were
not strong enough to fight their way to the
carriage, implored "Allah' to bless the man
who had saved their National honor. Wo-
men lifted theft children in their arms to-
look upon their country's savior. Cttfi6us-
ly enough, in the same building where Os-
man was receiving an ovation there lay as
prisoner his colleague Suleiman.

CHANGE is NOT ALWAYS REFORM


New pastures are being opened every
little while for modern philanthropy to
Craze upon, and grow fat and enthusiastic
The delusive conclusion was at one time
arrived at that when the demand ceased
for ebony on the Western Continent, and
the market not only of the Southern
States had been closed up, but of Cuba
and the whole Western line of the Allan
tic coast, that then African enslavement
would utterly cease. 1t has not done so,
however. If anything it has increased
the aggregate of human flesh that is now
handled in the slave shambles of Africa.
At a meeting of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society on March 25th ult., at the
University of London, Mr.. II. B. Cot
trell, who, it seems from the attention
given to him, is another African Ex-
plorer hardly second to Stanley Ameri-
canus, read statement of his experience

one significant detail in his long and in
teresting report. He met many gangs of
slaves men, women and small children,
who were the Circulating medium" or

being baptized and pledging himself to
uproot slavery in his dominions. Mr..

THE RAILROAD.

One hundred miles of the railroad
being built from Ogden to Portland
via of Boise City is completed, and the
cars are making regular trips. Work
is being pushed ahead, and the rails
will in a short time be laid to Fort
Hall, where the line will branch, one
continuing north into Montana, and
the other to Portland, Oregon, via of
Little Camas Prairie and Boise river.
So far the road has not been paying
institution, and until lately the Eas-
tern capitalists, who have considera-
BILE stock in the enterprise, had not
been very energetic in pushing the
work ahead, but they have of late,
been paying some attention to the
work. and Idaho will soon have rail-
road running through it. The line
will reach good agricultural dis
trict in d few months, secure the trav-
ell to and from Alturas county and
Boise City, the central point in South
ern Idaho. Then we think the enter
prise will be dividend paying, and
the work will be pushed ahead more
vigorously than ever This railroad
running through the heart of our best
agricultural district, which is sur
rounded. by good placer and quartz
mines, will do more TO develop the re-
sources OF Idaho than anything else.
Besides the agricultural aud gold and
silver mining districts, there are many
lodges Of copper ore on Snake river
that will pay handsomely as soon as
the line is completed to that place. |
The lodges are from fifty to seventy
five feet wide, some of which are sew
enty and eighty per cent. copper from
wall to wall.
During the last year the immigra
ton from the Eastern States to this
Territory has been large. While a
few have gone into the different min
ing districts, the majority have locat-
ed farming land in the valleys, good
portion of which will produce crops |
next year. There yet remains thou
sands of acres of good land, and wait
ing to be located by enterprising farm
ers.

YIELD OF PRECIOUS METALS.

The statement made by Wells, Far
go & Co. on the precious metals pro
duced in the last year shows the
amount to be 500, 42l,754, being an
excess of $7,546,5S1 over 1876, the
greatest previous annual yield in the
history Of the country. Arizona, Col
orado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Utah and Washington irA
crease; British Columbia, California,
Mexico and Montana decrease. Tie
statement says that probably Mon
tana's decrease is more apparent than
real. Ii the Comstock yields as much
in 1878 as in tie year just closed, the
product Of gold and silver IN the Uni.
ted States will reach $780, 600 600.
The yield Of Idaho Territory Tor the
year is as follows:
Gold dust ana bullion by Express. s., 1860
/" :" other convey
Sit er bullion by Express. .............. 21220J
Ores and base bullion by frsight......... 2lS.4l9
Total...... ............-...... i,s32,Iso
Besides that which is shipped by
Wells, Fargo & Co. there is a large
amount carried away by individuals,
sent through the postoffice, &c, which
would probably make the yield Of Ida
ho Territory 100000, and the fact
that the yield is increasing proves
that Boise and AIturas counties are
advancing. The yield Of 0wyhee
COUNT has largely decreased since
the crashof 1875, and this decrease
in that once important district is more
than made up by the increase in the
other districts. As 10 outside CAPT
