Never in the history of Colorado have
sheep done so well as this spring.
During 1875. more than Il, 900, 900 lbs of
pork were imported into Brennan from the
United States.
The grain from an acre of wheat whose
yield at. harvest is thirty bushels, will
lose in. drying 270 pounds, and the straw
will lose 500 pounds.
Give your hogs rubbing post in some
accessible part of their enclosure; it facil-
itates their keeping clean, and seem to
afford them much satisfaction.
For warts on cows teats: Common
soda, such as they use in making bread,
dissolved in water, and used as Il wash,

A recent shipment of American horses
! to Havre, for the French cavalry, arrived
in fine condition, no accidents during the
voyage being reported. The success of
the experiment is said to be complete
AS soon rs transportation can be had as
cheaply from New York to Havre as to
| Liverpool, large shipments of American
horses for the French army will be as
i sured. The difference in the price o1

Dayton JonrndI: '"Tom Ewing pious
ly observes that the success of Resump
'I7tion is due to Divine Providence, whC
gave us good crops. This is noble sen
timent, but it so happens that Resump
/ ton was successful before the crops were
planted. Tom didn't think of that, Of
else he relied upon Democratic ignoranc'
to carry him through
Oh, we'll, let Thomas have his way il
this matter. His remark goes to show
that the hand of the Lord is against th
Democratic party.-O. s. Journal.

General Rice, it appears, was a Val
landighamer during the war. This wOult

I success.-ZGnesUiLIe Times.
