'the cattle king" controlling interest
in that corporation, with view to vast
extension, through Mr.. Vanderbilt's ship

Company have owned for seven years
the Huerfano ranch, seventeen miles
long bv two miles broad, on the Huer-
fano River, in southeast Colorado, and
have now on that tract 10000 head of
cattle. But few weeks since they added
to it, by purchase from Col Craig OF

they paid $320,000. Both ranches are

"A 5PR0MPT MAN.--People never tire,
says "Causeuv' in the. Transcript, of hear.
ing stories of the late Col. Jsaae o. Barnes,
Of this city, whilom United States Marshal
Of this district. He was q large man, fond
Of chatting with ftiende, aud possessed
withal . thin, piping, squeoky voice that
was oil his own. He dislikod restraint of
any kind, and Yves specially averse to reli-
gious aeryicea, chiefly because he had to
keep silent while they laated. He had an
old friend Mr.. Kidder Marshall---to whom
he esWas warmly attaohed, and when Mr..
Marshall died, felt it his duty to attend The
funeral, which took place OF Fitchbnrg. It
was q hot, stioky day ia summer, and tho
ride from Boston in the cars was anything
but pleasant. Arrived at the house Of tho
deceased friend, he found large gathering
iu the parlor, which was warm and CLOSE.
The Colonel wedged himselfinto an arm chair
several sizes too small for his ample person,
settled himself as best he could, aud "Rd-
geted." It 80 ohapoed that two olergymen
conducted tho services, which wore 30
protracted that two hours had passed before
tho lost "amen' had been said. In
the midst of the solemn pause thot followed
it, Col. Barnes, who could "bold in" no
longer, turned to the gentleman next to
him, and in voice pitched in high key,
said, "Did you know Kid9" II did," suid
his fellow mourner, in q deep, hushed voice.
"He was nice fellow, wasn't he7" "He
waB," answered his neighbor, still in the
same mournful tone. eyes, and no Yves
mighty smart follow, too" continued the
Colonel, now giving his shrill voice free
play, and wipips the beads from his fore
head; eff he'd had the running of this
funeral, he'd been under ground an hour
and half ago."
THINGS THAT PAY.-It pays to have
garden if you will take oaro Of it; if you
can't or won't you had better not attempt
it. Perhaps dozen of your neighbors arc
in the same fix, in which case you might
CLUB together and hire gardener on tho
cooperative plan. If you make garden
it pays to enrich the ground literally.
Nothing from nothing is one of natures
by laws, if not part of the constitution of
things. Stable manure is adequate for
nearly all purposes, but good superphos-
phato is moro convenient and has the ad-
vantage of being free from weeds. The
value of wood oshes, especially for potatoes,
peas, early beans, ctc., arc also very great. 1t
pays to withhold your seeding until the
ground is dry and can DO thoroughly pull
vorised, particularly for all root crops and
for corn. The distorted and crooked pars-
nips, satisfy, and radishes und slow growing,
stunted corn are results generally duo to
soggy aud lumpy soil. It pays to have
walk through your garden each way; made
with n lOoso atnno fnun datiop md flIod with
coal ashes. Itpays to SOW your vegetables
in long rows instead OF old fashioned beds,
and to usc stakes and line in planting
every rythng so that your rows may be straight
and even 1t pays 10 rotate crops from one
spot in the garden to another. When the
ground is wormy it peys to use lime. 1t
pays to kill weed wherever and as soon a.
you see Exchange.

A Word About Newspapers.

The Gainesville (Ga.) Eagle is the last
to let fly few sharp pointed and we'll
timed arrows at bores and dead beats who
are always to be found wherever newspa-
FER is published. The following is to the
point, and we move its unanimous adoption
by the press of the country:
There is not perhaps in tho whole range
of business professions or oallings, one that
is so littlo understood, and about which
there ore as many erroneous ideas as that
of tho conduct, privileges, purposes and
rights of newspaper. From it people
expect more, and propose to pay less than
they would dare to ask from any other bus.
mess in the world.
A great many very good people seem to
forget chat newspapers are business enter
prises Thoy ignore the faot that q news
paper man is flesh and blood, and that he
must eat, drink, wear, live, move and have
being as any other human biped. They
seem to forget that he has like passions,
like necessities, like cares, troubles and anxi-
cites with other men. Hence, when he
differs with them, when ho expresses on
opinion in opposition to their own, with
warmth and vigor, they are ready to de-
nounoe him, and seem as much astonished
as if an angel had flown down from the
out posts of heaven and pelted them with
brickbat. He is expected to be above and
beyond the small weaknesses of humanity,
and soar around in the elysian fields Of
grandiloqucpt genius, or leisurely browse
in The vornal pastures of puro wisdom, and
sec everything as everybody else secs it,
and reconcile tho vast differences of opinion
in imperious thousands!
But it is not in this alone that tho world
mistakes US. Very many, very good people,
good honest souls, who would never think
of asking their grocer to give them dimes
worth of cheese, will ask newspaper man
to sacrifice his space, pay his printers to set
up the type, and wear out his material to
do them service, and expect him to
acquiesoo as matter of course. 1t is as
tonishing how many people have axes to
grind which from their standpoint aro "mat.
tors Of public interest,"" and WOO to the poor
editor who cannot see it in that light.
There are too or threo things which many
good honest people need to be educated to
understand. Ono is that editors arc human.
They are liable to be mistaken, and are
entitled to tho same charity as other people
who may do likewise. Second, that they
cannot 1.-Two on wind and sleep on fences,
and must bo paid for their stock in trade,
the same as merchant or any other busi-
ness man. Think, that newspaper does
not belong to the world at large, but to it's
owners and conductors, and that it cannot
bo made sluicebox through which to flow
all the surplus bills of community or the
trashy off sloughing Of the brain Of every
nincumpoop who itches to sec his name in
print. When these wholesale truths are
thoroughly imbodded ia the teachings of
our civilization, then will tho editors millen.
MUM begin to draw nigh aud the war dance
of delight will swing corners and ohassez
around the editorial triped, the scissors will
out the double shuttle, and the pastepot
weep great tears Of unctious joy.

BARREN APPLE TREEs.-What can be
done for them? Tho answer uppermost in
all minds is: Cut them down. Why cum.
Der the ground? But would not do that.
There is one thing you can do; you can
strike to the life Of the tree, but don't kin
it. BY woundingso as to check the wood
growth of tho treo you may throw
the treo into fruitage. All know
that to girdle limb of an apple-that is,
take out a ring of bark at tho basc of a
limS in tho early spring-will induce the
formation of fruit buds that season, which
the following year will develop in crop of
fruit. In many cases tho failure to fruit is
due to the rapid growth Of wood Check.
ing tho growth in any way by sending to
grass, or by Withholding manure, or by
girdliug, as indioated-will in many cases
indaoe fruitage. In my pra,tioo l have
done this I have taken saw and gone
through the orchard and girdlcd each tree;
say one foot from the ground, saving
through the bark in ring around the body
of tho treo This does little, if any perma.
nont injury. In the course Of the seasons
growth the wound is healed, and tho con-
nection again made in the bark, but not
till the fruit buds have formed, which is
pledge for crop Of fruit tho following
season. 1t is sometimes tho case with par
tioular varieties, as for example with the
bell fowors, that they blossom full but set
no fruit. The cause 10 most cases is the
rapid growth of the wood. Girdling tho
bodies of the trees, which is most convent
emily done with saw is the remedy, and
will generally cause tho fruit to set. Even
if injury should be done to the tree, SO as to
shorten it's life for few years, it is bctter---
for few years Of usefulness is better than
many years without any use. I have no
doubt many who see this suggestion will
recognize at once the good sense that is 10
it, and will act upon it, and % result will
profit by it in the end.
