In the world shows ihst the Rising Of

NJ times when wool snd mutton ruled

weeds Sheep will search higher aud

They are the last 10 leave the pssturc In

Horses can be educated 10 the e1
tent Of their understanding as well a.
children. and can be easily damaged or
ruined by bad management. We be-
lieve Ihs The great difference found in
horses s. 70 yiciOua habits or reliability
comes much more from the different
management of men than from variance
OF natural disposition in the animals.
Horses with high meule are more easily
educssed than those OF less or dull
spirits, and are more susceptible to i'll
training. and consequently may he
made good or bad according to the edu.
cation they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are no, by
any means proof against bad manage.

MNse.!:s Timber.

AS the decay Of wood Is chiefly due
TO The presence in II OF sap. and as dry
rot can only thrive upon decaying tim
Der, it is apparent that the best prolec-
ton against both these evils Is careful
seasoning. When wood dries gradn-
ally in the sir by the process of natural
seasoning, it should be placed In dry
ward and sheltered from sun aud wind
This method may be reeomme Dded for
specimens Of moderate thickness: and
the time needed Is two years Tor timber
nsed in carpentry. which in this period
loses one-iifih of its weight. Four
years is needed for ;imlJcr that j. 10 be
used in jOinerv. in which time il will
lose one-tbifd OF lis weight. II Is i'm
portant that timber be reduced to its
proper size for use before seasoning :.

II is cut smaller il viii shrink aud lose

proceed slowly, and The pores upon The

Eds. HERALD:
Thinking YOU Buckeyes would have no
objections to hearing few words from
the Hawkeye State, will try and give
brief description of the climate, soil and
crops.
The winter has been very dry and cold.
It has not rained since the middle of Sep
tember. This, no doubt, sounds strange
to you; but, as we do not SOW Fall wheat,
or cut corn, we get along very we'll. Plen-
ty of water is obtained by digging from
fifteen TO twenty feet. The winter has
been very cold, the thermometer standing
as low as % degrees below zero.
The soil is a black, sandy loan, pro-
dueing magnificent crops. The crops
OF last year were very heavy will give
the yield of our farm: Corn, 81 bushels
per acre; cats, 81; wheat, Is.
The price of allkinds of grain is low
Corn, 73c. per bushel; oats, 13e. wheat,
soc.
Stock-raising pays better than farming
Fat hogs are selling well, and plenty OF
them. No fat cattle; other kinds very
high. A great many cattle have died
from the effects of smut and scarcity OF
running water.
In conclusion will say that no one need
expect to make money in the West unless
they are out of debt. Land is very cheap
improved farms selling for $40 to $25 pei
acre. Raw land is worth from IS to $1(
per acre. J.H. ANDERs.
