WESTERN IMMIGRATION.
Interesting Deductions from the Reports
of Railway Land Sales.

From the Railroad Gazette
The settlement of Western prairies IS
q matter of the utmost importance to a
great many of our railroad companies,
as it is thus only they can ever hope to
have an adequate traffic. For some
years past, in spite of the great over
supply of labor in most manufacturing
industries, immigration to the West has
been comparatively light; there has
been no such rush as there was some
ten years before the War to Iowa and
Minnesota, and for five or six years
after the War to Kansas, Eastern Ne
braska, and part of Iowa. But this
spring the movement has set in again
with something of the old vigor; and in
nearly all the prairie country, where
cheap prairie land is to be had, great
numbers of people come to make new
farms. A very good clew to the in
crease in the movement, though not OF
its amount, is had by the sales of land
BY land-grant railroad companies. The
Commercial and Financial Chronicle
complies the following table of the sales
of lands by land-grant railroads during
the first four months of the years 1877
and 1873:

Homemade Chloride of Line.

Prof. Nash gives the following direc-
tons for making this very useful disin-
fectant and fertilizer: take one
barrel of lime and one bushel Of salt;
dissolve the salt in as little water as will
dissolve the whole; slake the lime with
the water, putting on more water than
will slake it, so much that 1t will form
q very thick paste; this will not take all
the water; put on, therefore, little Of
the remainder daily until the lime has
taken the whole. The result will be
very powerful deodorizor equally good
for all outdoor purposes with the arti-
Gle bought under that name at the
apothecary's, and costing not one
twentieth part a. much. This should
be kept under a shed or some out
building; it should be kept moist, and
it may be applied whenever offensive
odors are generated, with the assurance
that it will be effective to purify the air,
and will add to the value Of the manure
much more than it costs. It would be
well for every farmer to prepare q guam
tity Of this and have it always ON hand.

Medical Possibilities OF the Phone
graph.

The photograph opens up vista of
medical possibilities delightful to con-
template. Who can fail to make the
nice distinctions between every form of
bronchial and pulmonary rale, percus-
sion, succussion, and friction sounds,
surgical crepitus, fetal and placental
murmurs, and arterial and aneurismal
bruit, when each can be produced at
will, amplified to any desired extent, in
the study, the amphitheater, the Office,
and the hospital? The lecturer of the
future will teach more effectively with
this instrument than by the mouth. The
phonograph will record the frequency
and characteristics of respiratory and
muscular movements, decide as to the
age and sex of the fetus in utero, and
differentiate pneumonia from phthisis.
1t will reproduce the sob Of hysteria, the
sigh of melancholia, the singultus Of
collapse, the cry of the puerperal wOm-
en- in the different stages Of labor. 1t

How to Usili.s Table Refuse.

A correspondent of the American
Poultry Yard describes his method as
follows: First, proper feeding pail is
an absolute necessity to successfully pre-
pare the refuse Of the table and kitchen
to make it proper God for
fowls. Get a hardwood pail, or ask
your grocer for q hardwood butter FIR
kin shaped like pail. Cut q board to
fit into the chine firmly on the bottom
of the pail, and thick enough to project
an eighth of an inch or more beyond
the end of the slaves, so that
the pail may rest firmly ON the bottom
instead of ON the ends of the slaves.
Fasten in place by q few nails driven
through the slaves into this false bot
tom. which may be Of pine, as it is only
to keep from bursting out the bottom Of
the pail by chopping in it. II you can
not get a hardwood pail, put another
false bottom of hardwood inside Of
pine pail, nicely fitted and secured like
the under one. Grind the edge Of
common spade sharp, and you have an
admirable chopping knife, and will be
surprised to see how quickly you can
chop fine all scraps and waste Of every
kind, cooked or raw vegetables, chick
en- bones, and every thing except bed,
pork or mutton bones; these save by
themselves and put into stock soup
kettle, with all pieces of raw meat or

Tho notable thing is moi sol much the

Tho notable thing Is not so mucn the
gross amount of the sales as the enor-
nous increase, the quantity sold being
niirfy-tu0 and half times as great this
year as last. 1t is true that the amount
sold is very inconsiderable addition to
the acreage of land occupied lit will be
long before this is all cultivated) in the
West. 1t will make but five or six thou
sand farms of the average size there.
But the railroad land sales are in most
places but FRACTION of the total. In
Western Minnesota, for instance, the
Government lands 60 at least as fast as
the railroad lands; and we may be sure
that, when there is a demand for these,
the same causes which makes such de-
mand will result in the cultivation of
larger and larger areas of land already
purchased by farmers. That is, there
is prospect for a profit in breaking
and planting new land, or there is be-
lieved to be.
Though the area of very cheap fertile
lands in the Northwest is now very re-
stricted, it is evident to every one who
merely passes through such districts as
Minnesota, Western Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, not to say Kansas and Nebraska,
that there is still an enormous area I'M
cultivated. And the history of the set
Element of this country shows that it
will be many years before most even of
the very desirable land will be culti-
waited or otherwise utilized except i'm
perfectly as common pasturage. The
fact is that the rapid requirement of
comfortable property in the West has
not been so much by making q profit on
the crops raised as by an advance in the
value of the land purchased. Thousands
of men, 40 years ago or less, bought
prairie land in Illinois at S1.25 an acre;
toiled terribly IA or Is years on it with
out making more than very plain, if
abundant, subsistence and the means of
subduing part of the soil, making fences
and some poor farm buildings; but they
found themselves comparatively rich,
because what had cost them, improve
ments and all, perhaps not $40 an acre,
could be sold for 500 to S25. This ex-
perience has not been forgotten.
The immigrants of to-day are
largely, perhaps chiefly, the chill
dren Of the immigrants of
that day. They are not only farmers;
they are spectators. Generally they
buy more land than they can possibly
hope to cultivate, and more than they
expect to for time to come. Part only
OF their land is an instrument of pr0duc-

Farm TOPICS.


nlnI8 IN 4umhnBs
Mich cows should be kept as quiet
and comfortable as possible, and no per-
son should be employed in milking
whom the animals fear. As general
rule it is important that the milking
should always take place at regular
hours. The same person should always
milk the same cows, and in the same
order each day, so far as practicable.
A good dairyman should know enough
Of his stock to be able to tell which Of
his cows are more difficult to milk than
others, and when any new help is in
troduced the easiest milking cows should
be assigned to them.
Owing to spirit of rivalry common
among young and inexperienced per-
sons, they make an effort to get their
pals filed in the quickest possible time;
consequently drawing from each COW as
much of her milk as is given down
rapidly and readily, and leaving a con-
siderable quantity behind in the udder.
They may fill their pals rapidly, but
the interests of the owner suffer ulti-
mately. The dairyman needs to insure
himself by personal trial that one COW
is not left for another until she is fairly
MIXED out, since, though it is proper
to draw the milk rapidly, it is even
more important TO secure the last drop.
Cows that are ill-treated or roughly
handled will sometimes turn obstinate
and will hold their milk. Mixers
should study the disposition of the cows
under their charge, that they may be-
come familiar with them, fondling
them, patting and stroking them, thus
securing their confidence. In driving
cows from pasture they should never
be driven or hurried, or made to 60
faster than a moderate walk. The dali
ryman should insist upon his assistants
milking properly from the very outset ;
it is far better to spend little time in
this way at the start than to allow the
contraction of bad habits which result
in 3 certain amount Of loss every day
in the season.
Briefly, the end in view in milking
cows is to empty the milk vessels COM
pletely by means of q progressive pres
sure, exerted first by the thumb and in
dex finger and subsequently by the rest
of the fingers. Part Of the milk will be
left behind unless good care is taken not
to strangle the ripple, as it were, at its
base before pressing it, thus rendering
part of the force applied of no avail.
inexperienced persons sometimes think
that they get on faster by proceeding
hastily to the alternating movements re-
quired in milking; this is very great
mistake, resulting in an incomplete
milking to begin with, unnecessary ia
tigue to the operator and q good deal Of
distress to the COW. The mixers should
always have their nails cut short, and
if cows teats are painful from inflam-
nation or other cause, care should be
taken not to increase her sufferings.
The teats should be anointed with
some fatty matter free from salt, or with
few drops of milk simply. Those who
exercise the greatest care, patience and
gentleness in the matter of milking cows
will be rewarded with the best results.
