This year requires the addition of a man
and horses, and other extra expenses. AS
the herd increases the expenses increas in
like ratio. The amount opposite each year
is believed to be as near correct as could
we'll be ascertained.
Yhe calculation in the table contemplates
the exchange OF the steers, at one year old,
for heifers, which can be readily done, as
the steers sell for more than the heifers by
about $3.50 per head.

BREED YOUR MARE TO A GOOD STALLION

BREED YOUR MARE TO A GOOD STALLION.
With the superior females bred as above,
one is generally sure to obtain good off
springs, and such as will pay handsomely
for raising; but when the mare is somewhat
indifferent in form, stamina or action, the
owner may be in a little doubt as to paying
a higher price than ordinary for the services
of a first-rate male. But this is just the
time in which he should not hesitate at all
for the superior sire is likely to give a supe-
rior colt, however Indifferent the dam may
be. This is particularly the case with the
Percheron-Norman stallion, as he has been
so we'll and uniformly bred tor centuries
past that he has acquired great potency, and
his produce is much surer of proving salts
factory than when got by a more modern
animal of whose, ancient breeding he knows
nothing.
Joined to thislong line of superior breed
ing for ages past, the Percheron-Norman
nnites in himself all those qualities which
make him the best large farm, road and cart
horse in existence. There is nothing super
fluous in his makeup, and whatever size he
may be, from sixteen to eighteen hands, or
less or more, all his bones, flesh, muscles
and sinews are justly and ~harmoniously
united, to give him strength, action and.en-
durance for all sorts of work to which he
may be put. Added to these is his kind
temper, never finching or baking at a load,
his good feeding and easy, keeping qualities.
The co%nsumption.of food by a Percheron-.
Norman is probably less than that of any
other breed of horses, in, proportion to. the
work he does.
Then as to the colts, SO hardy and SO east.
" kept, they can be raised at a less cost of
food than other breeds, and be put to light
work a year or two younger; in consequence
of which, when ready for market they may
be sold at a considerable profit over the
rearing of the foals OF the ordinary horse
now generally kept by the tarmers.-Cor.
Indiana Farmer.
The total wool clip of the world in 1877
was about1 ,4o7 800, 900 pounds; worth $780,
001, 900. This. when secured, would yield.
about $50. 600, 900 pounds clean wool. The
clip of 1878 was smaller by $780, 900 to TO-
100000 pounds. The clip of Australia
reaches annually about 2s4, 900 pounds;
that of Buenos Ayres and. the, river. Plata,

ings would only require an outlay of about
$6, 1000, lots and fences included, and they
would rent for ten dollars per month each,
this would give twenty per cent. on
the Investment, and after paying taxes and
insurance, leave clean profit of at least
sixteen per cent Now the class of people
in the west who rent houses are well to do,
industrious and honorable. and rents are
promptly paid, in many cases in advance;
hence the risk and losses incurred are but
slight and small compared with the cities.
The rents are higher and the taxes lower
than in larger towns, lots are cheaper, and
the demand always exceeds the supply.
We know of no enterprise which promises
SO large interest and prompt returns on the
capital invested; no business openings Of
fer any such inducements. In Building on
your lots you increase their value, draw in
terest on the whole snm expended, have no
dead stock on your hands, your property
continually increasing in value, and when
you wish to sell, can always find purchas-
ers,

The fact that two or three proposals from
responsible parties, forAhe purchase of the
Little Falls s. Dakota Railway, have been
received and are now under consideration
by the stockholders, leads us to look for
ward to tire early completion of the road.
There are several reasons for this conclu
sion, and good sound reasons too. Would
capitalists offer to build and equip road;
would they spend time and money to travel
over the country to consult with the stock
holders; would they sign agreements and
contracts; would they give the matter any
attention or consideration, if they were not
in earnest. IT'S true the enemies of the
enterprise might do oil this to strangle it,
but would they violate their contracts, be-
tray their trusts and perjure themselves to
accomplish this? We think and hope not,
as they know full well such trickery or ras-
cality would ruin them and assure the COM
pletion of the work. If they do not intend
to live up to their agreements, we do not
think they will bind and pledge themselves
to perform certain work in q given time,
under forfeiture. 1t is possible perhaps,
but in our opinion altogether improbable,
as in the event Of failure or violation, the
only thing gained would be delay. We
consider it one of the very best signs that
the enterprise is more than "a five dollar
road on paper" from the fact that the en-
terprise is attracting the attention of CAPT
talists.

During the past few weeks there has been
much inquiry and demand for tenement
houses, but there is not vacant room in
the village. Those having capital would
find good investment in building dwell
ings at this point, as the rent obtained
would pay handsome interest. The
houses need not be large, in fact small cosy
cottages are what is required, and house
that would cost about four or five hundred
dollars would answer all purposes, and lei
readiEy the season round Ten such dwell.

The stockholders of the Little Falls &
Dakota Railroad were in session yesterday
afternoon and evening. The meeting was
called for the purpose of considering and
acting upon proposals received from sever
al parties, for the building and equipment
of the line. After some private matters
pertaining to the company were disposed
of, Col. Crooks presented his proposition,
which was ia substance as follows: He
and his associates proposed to take the re-
mainder of the stock, build and equip the
line; operations to commence at once from
Little Falls west; the line to be completed
to Morris by 1889. Satisfactory guarantees
would be furnished for the early compile
ton of the road, and that the line would be
in the hands and under the control of par.
tics whose interests will be identified with
ours. Maj. Oyerton presented, on behalf
of Mr.. John Ross, a proposal to the
effect that, should the stockholders
favor him with the basis, he might be able
to make them q satisfactory proposal to
build and equip the road ready for business,
and further offered to furnish bonds, refer
ences, &c. AS there were other parties
who desired to submit proposals, but who
were unable to be present until to day, the
stock holders were requested not to come
to any final conclusions until they could be
present.
Col Crooks mentioned as his associates:
w. H. Smith, II. E. Sargent, G. A DeGraff
and l.. E. Reed, and stated that the board
of directors would consist of j. r. Sim
mons, Little Falls; 4. Moore, Sank Centre;
I ]. G. Whittemore, Glenwood; r. G. Moore,
Morris; W. FL. smith, New ork; II. E.
Sargent, G. A. DeGraff, GAINESVILLE w. P.
Clough, L. E. Reed, and VIM. Crooks, ct.
Paul. After considerable discussion and
argument, the tock-holders voted to accept
Col. Crooks proposition, and accordingly
the little Falls s. Dakota Railroad is now
in his and his associates control and posses
sion. We will give proceedings in full in
next issue

A telegram from Sank Centre, last week,
contained the joyful and extremely crafty
ing tidings of the safe arrival of the party
surveying the Little Falls & Dakota Rail-
road. The announcement has taken load
from off our minds. We had given them
up as lost, and worried and fretted ever
their long and unaccountable absence.
But they have arrived after three months
Of toll, trial and privation, ~ and accom-
plishcd the prodigious task of surveying
thirty three miles of road. Their rapid (O
progress is calculated to please and encour-
age the stock holders, and stimulates the
hore that the work on the survey will be
completed during the present century We
may be over sanguine, but the satisfactory
commencement leads US to look forward
with hope The engineer corps should not
attempt to come further west this season.
There is great danger of their not reaching
Glenwood before spring We do not OBJ
ject to their making the attempt from any
mercenary reasons; monetary matters are
a secondary affair; we are only solicitous
that their valuable lives might be endan-
gered But we may not even now be Civ
ing these men their dues. There is pos
sibility that they have the road graded
from Sank Centre to Little Falls, ties and
bridge timbers ready; yes, it may be the
ties are in position, iron laid, and, perhaps,
the engine and cars running! We would
not be astonished if this were so. The
men who can make a survey Of thirty miles
of road, and consiime ninety days in doing
it, can work miracles.
The foregoing is, however, tale of thu
past. This foolishness and humbuggery il
now at an end Tt is business on and afte
this date, if the directors and executiv,
comsiiittee have any say in the matter, ant
they are of the opinion they have. I'll
the determination to make some changes
and with competent engineers, the surve,
will be completed to Browns Valley b
November 1st The valuable time lost
4 will not delay the work on the road at all
/ as by next spring, grading will commenc
in earnest The company have paid al
their bills, and it is very gratifying to b
able to say, have also money III the treas
ury. This road can be built and operate
without any help from any railroad corpe
ration in the State. 1t isa feasible an
practical route. Capitalist IRE aware Q
these facts, and the enterprise has the
support and encouragement.

In accordance with the resolutions Of the

Conservative voters of the city Of New Or

presidents to meet at the halls of the central
clubs, tomorrow evening, for the purpose of
selecting in each Of the wards named a mem

not necessary for us to urge the selection Of
the very best men for this position. Upon the
State Committee will fall the necessary and
important work of conducting the present
campaign, and from the very nature of things
the gentlemen chosen in the city wards, to
gether with those already selected from the
city to represent the congressional districts,
must perform the bulk Of the labors OF the
canvass. They are constantly at hand to
meet any emergency, while members of the
committee from other sections of the State
will rarely be present when it Is called to-
gether. 1t Is obvious, therefore, that the gen.
tlemen selected to represent the different
wards should be capable and sagaclous men
men who possess all the qualifications Of
character and intelligence, to give the mem
bers Of the committee from the State at large
effective assistance In the work of conducting
the details OF the campaign. We repeat, let
