Cruelty 80 Animal. in transportation.

The use of brads, spikes and hooks in has
tening the movement of hogs and cattle,
while the animals are being transported on
our western railroads, has been carried to
such an extent that the packing houses, the
railroad agents and humane society at Chica-
go have found it necessary TO join together in
IL mutual protest against these barbarities
When the hogs and cattle are taken out of the
cars, to be wRtered and fed, their drivers con-
slider that they have a right to employ almost
any means to hurry them up, One device
used is a screw brad, which is put on the
end Of pole, and which, when driven into
the flank of steer or hog, draws out with
it, on its removal, quite piece of hide and
quivering flesh. That these instruments of
torture have been very generally used may be
judged by the assertion made by one firm en-
gagged in the packing business, that out of
$500 hides recently sold by them, all but 400
were rejected by the purchaser in consequence
of the injury that had been done to them by
bradding Another means employed to start
up steer, exhausted by long journey, is to
twist his tail until several of its Joints are
broken. which, as might be supposed, pro-
duees for few moments painful semblance
of spriteliness Still another trick of the
trade, which has been practised on the rail
roads leading west from Chicago, is to give
the cattle at the last feeding station a plenti-
ful supply of salt, 30 that they suffer from an
agony OF thirst, and, upon arriving at
Chicago. add not q little to their sailing

Cons IN DRILIs.-I was interested in look
ing over the report of the competitors for the
prize offered by the Lewiston journal of
Maine for the best crop of corn grown in that
State last year Nearly every one put old
well rotted manure on the surface and har-
rowed it in or plowed it under very lightly,
and used small amount of artificial manure
in the hill, and nearly every one adopted a
sort of drill culture that is, they had their
rows from two aud a half to three and a half
feet apart and hills, in one case, nine inches
apart, one kernel in a place, in others from
eighteen inches to thirty apart, with two or
three kernels in place. Under this treat
ment, the crops varied from sixty bushels
shelled corn per acre to over a hundred.
Judging by this, and by what have observ-
ed of the practice of some of our best farm
ers, the drill system, or an approach to it,
seems to be generally considered by them to
be the best way to obtain large crop of corn.
If l were to plant corn in drills, should very
much prefer to have the rows run north and
south, so as to have as much sun as possible
shine through them. So important do / con-
slider this, that if it were not convenient to
have my drills run that way, | would plant III
hills, three feet apart and four stalks to the
hill, as l was brought up to plant corn.

CuItIVatinC water LIIIes.

We have several times suggested that those
who are fond of the most beautiful water lily,
or pond lily (NymphGd od0ratd)-as who
is not can cultivate il with very little
trouble. Those who have hesitatcd to make
the attempt will be encouraged by the fol
lowing account of its successful treatment. by
Miss Ruckman, st. Joseph Co., Ind. Miss
r. writes 1--WE have a half hogshead in our
yard, which is sunk even with the ground.
In the bottom is some Of the soil taken from
the bottom Of little lake where the water
lilies grow. We put in several roots of the
lily, filled the barrel with water, and then
awaited results. The next July We noticed
seven small buds on the surface Of the water ;
by the LIST of August the surface of the tub
was a mass of beauty, the large white lilies
being an attraction for the pRssers-by that
could not be resisted. This was three years
ago; each year there have been more flowers
than in the previous summer In the fall We
throw little manure into the tank, place
some boards over the top aud with this little
bit of trouble increase the beauty of our eX-
pertinent, which has been success. imer-

En.ilsre a Los, Recovered.

Ensilage is not a new discovery Of NJ. Goff-

at all that the ancient Romans constructed
silos or vaults in which they preserved fruits

subiecting them to pressure. The system of
Ensilage is now and long has been practiced
by Mexican farmers, to whom this method
was doubtless taught by some learned Span
ish Catholic monk or priest, who through a
spirit Of adventure or religious zeal for mis-
sionary work, was induced to accompany the
Spanish adventures which thronged to that
country upon the subiugation of the Aztecs
by Cortes and his followers. Without doubt
the idea was seized upon 10y the French dur

carried back to France 10y them, improved
upon, and its great utility demonstrated. 1t

Wheat in Lake County.

From o circular issued by Secretary
of State, VIM. Jenny, we find that the
number of acres of wheat raised in
Lake county, in 1879 (not including
Lake townsliip),1 was l,432; yielding
10, $50 bushels, or an average of 1l.35
bushels per acre. This shows an in
crease over 1878, Of 22O acres, and ali
increase ofyield-1, ,464 bushels.
The showing is certainly an encour-
aging one for the farmers of Lake
county; and the average yield per acre
is by no means the lowest. Mason
county, while producing nearly double
the number of bushels, in 1879, had an
average of only 1902 bushels per acre.
In Manistee county, the average was
1880; Oceana, 1898; Newaygo, 1902;
Mecosta, l4.34; Osceola, l4.72; Benzie,
1896.
The number of acres of wheat on the
ground I'm Lake county, In May last,
was 1912 according to Supervisors
reports), an increase of 4SO acres over
1879. Judging from the fact that 1879
was rather an unfavorablea season, we
predict u larger average yield this year.
Statistics show then that while Lake
county maintains fair average yield
of wheat per acre, the volume produced
is increasing very rapidly; andit is OIL
ly question Of time till she becomes
among the notable counties in this line.
Already she stands far ahead of twen-
ty-two counties of the State in volume
Of wheat product-among those coun-
ties-Alpena, Altoona, Cheboygan, Chip
pewa, Clare, Gladwin, Kalkaska, Mis-
saukee and Ogemaw; and We see no
reason why she may not maintain the
lead, at least, for some years to come.
One thing Is certain-there has been
no decrease at any time since the set
Element of the county, in the progress
in wheat producing, which is more
than may be said of every county in
the State.
While speaking on this matter, we
also, state that, in 1879, the number Of
acres of wheat in the State was l,601,-
10; the aggregate yield, 30,9l0,S53
bushels; and the average yield per acre,
1880 bushels. The number OF acres on
the ground, throughout the State, May,
1880, WAS ,S35, l9l.
