LIVE STOCK FARMING.

No interest connected with Amer
lean agriculture, says the German
town Telegraph, has of late years
attracted more notice than live
stock farming. The interest EN-
braces sheep, horses, swine and
poultry. but the development to
which we refer relates more par
tlcularly to cattle and horses. The
food supply Of Europe has for a
kong series of years directed enter
prise to the provision tlade of the
United States. Ill such way that
It has attained colossal dimensions.
Latterly, efforts have been made to
transport to Europe fresh beef for
sale, but the difficulties connected
With tins enterprise have recently
stimulated the expectation of live
stock to Europe instead of fresh
beef. This movement has taken
shape more particularly at Boston
as the point nearest Europe, and
consequently the one from which
the shortest voyage is made. But
the shipment Of live stock by steam
er from that point embraces horses,
sheep and SWINE, as well as beeves,
and the business increases at such
Il rate that it bids fair to become a
leading branch of national COM
merce.
The capacity of our country for
the production of live stock is SO
vast that too much attention can
not be bestowed upon this business.

stocked, could much more advan-
tageously turn their attention 70
the breeding of Iorsas, cattle, sheeb
and swine, not merely for the
European markets. but for the
home demand also. In the prairie
States of the Wes5 this has become
favorite employment, in regions
where, owing to the distance from
the seaboard, the culture of cereal
crops is Improbable. These have
proved so profitable that the bust
ness of expectation bids fair to be-
come permanent and to take the
place of shipments of fresh beef.
Connected with stock iarning
are various industries of great i'm
portance to IL country like ours, such
as the commerce i'll hides, wool,
whips, boo.s and shoes, leather, etc.
Thus, therefore, stock farming has
an importance to the civilized arts
of world beyond and above it's con-
nection with the food supply, and
ii our countrymen can be induced
to engage in this business generally
and on Il grand scale, there can be
no doubt that the resElt would be
to give us command of the com

WOOL.

There would lie 'boom" just
now in wool, if there was enough of
the domestic product in the market
to supply the demand. There is,
perhaps, no branch Of agricultural
industry that is likely to pay so
well, for at least the next decade,
as wool growing. For the coming
season high prices are assured. All
over the country manufacturers are
contracting for she next clip at very
high figures, while wGol growers in
many places are in no hurry to
close bargains, preferring to wait
for still better prices lattron. With
the constantly increasing demand
for wool in this country, and the
present great in"dequacy of the
home production, all enterprising
men can engage i'll wool raising
any fear of overstocking
the market for the next ten or twelve
years. If, in the meantime, wool
goes down, it will be because other
products do so likewise, not because
the supply will exceed the demand.

ANGORA GOAT WOOL.

Statements have been going the
rounds of the papers that there was
no market for Angora goat wool.
Surprising that Mr. r. Peters, who
has flock of $50 -Angqras, would
be .snllys'posted on the subject, we
called5upon him for the facts, which
we give for the benefit of those who
breed or intend breeding this valu-
able animal:
Q.-What is the clip of the An
CORA goat?
A.-FrOm three to four pounds.
The former for ewes and the latter
for bucks.
Q.-Do you find any difficulty i'll
getting Il market for it?
A.-N.ope in the world. Messrs.
Turner Il Son, at Acron, Ohio, viii
take all that is produced, ut from
seventy to eighty cents per pound
for thoroughbred, tifty-tive cents for
full bloQds, and forty cents for
grades.
Q.-What do you mean by full
bloods?
A.-The fifth cross, or those hay
ing 1882 pure blood, are cless4di.s
fall bloods.
o--What is the cost of keeping
them?
A.-Almost nothing. They cos,
very little more than the common
goat, and less than sheep, while
they sell much higher and yield
about the same annual income in
wool as good sheep which clip ali
average of six pounds of wool.
Q.-Have they been subject to
disease of any kind?
A.-None at all. They have been
perfectly healthy and prolific. A
late lamb is worthless, while if from
my cause a kid is dropped late, it
makes as good an animal as those
dropped early.
Q.-Iou IRE, then, still pleased
with them as a profitable stock?

BAGASSE AS PAPER STOCK.
TCity Item.l

AsSAA.
In a recent interview at Washing
ton between Robert ID. Porter, the
eminent statistician and essayist of
Chicago, and the Hon. William d.
Kelly, touching paper pulp and the
material of which it is composed, a
great deal of interesting informa-
ton may be found. Mr.. Kelley
gives it as his opinion that the
South, now eager to develop its
manufact airing power, and in many
respects so benefcently endowed,
is likely, ere long. to make large
contributions to the pape' stock of
the world. He added: Cone of
the results OF this o1ltcry for cheap
paper is now before me, and I in
vite yon to look Mt it. 1t is the
most beautiful paper pulp I ever
saw. It was produced by Mr.. Cha
pin, of Springfield, Mass, from the
fibre OF sugar cane. Frequent and
costly experiments have been made
to utilize this material, but they had
failed. Mr.. Chaplin, however, has
succeeded, and some of the most
experienced paper makers tell me
that the pulp show YOU is as fine
as the finest chemical wood pulp
e~er produced. and that it will
probably enter in greater or less
proportion into the best book pa
per. Thus the quixotic crusade
against the manufacturers of paper
pulp in THIS country may result in
giving new and highly profitable
industry to the Gulf States, and re-
move all apprehension of a sufficient
supply of paper stock"
This points to a realization of
dream which the Louisiana sugar
planters AMI manufacturers have
long INDUCED III. Bagasse, the
fibrous remains of sugar cane after
it has passed through the rolling
mills, is so nearly reduced to the
condition of pulp that but little adj
iitionai manipulation is required. |
1t Is, moreover. produced in such |
immense quantities on large planta- |
tons that the getting rid of it is an
almost ever-present plantation prob /
lem. 1t rots too slowly for the COM
post heap, and is worth nothing as
fuel; but for paper pulp it is just
,he thing, especially if Mr.. Kelley's
,ertif,rate in its fayQ; be correct. A
ieinand for bagasse may yet prove

RELIGION.

The word religion according
to Cicero, is from rele9o, which
means to read again. The reason
why he claims it is from relpgo is,
there were some persons who, hav-
ing become dissatisfied with what
had been said concerning the nature
and worship of the gods, and hay-
ing perused the writings of the
past. were called rs1igiosi, from re,
'asain," and iego, Il read" Lac
tantius, and others, claim that it is
from religo, ito bind back" or
''bind again" Let its origin and
original meaning be what they may,
1t IS we'll known that nowadays. in
Its unrestricted sense, it means any
system of faith. The world is full
OF religions, and there is but one
good one among them all, and that
one is the religion of Jesus Christ
His religion is the pure religion.
81. James, in speaking of pure re-
ll9ion, said. Pure religion and I'M
defiled before God and the Father
Is this, to visit the fatherless and
widows in their affection, and to
keep himself unspotted from the
world" james, 1:27.1 Persons
who have pure religion in their
souls BECOME concerned about the
happiness of widows and Orphans
whether they have something to eat
and wear or not-and are willing tn
administer to the wants of every
distressed and afflicted person.
Wonderful is the effect of the re-
llSlon OF Jesus upon persons who
have embraced it. 1t makes n mean
man good; stingy one, liberal: n
dishonest one, hQnest; liar, truth
ful; and hypoerite. to cease his
hypocrisy. 1t enables those who
have embraced it to Ioye God with
all their soul, mind and strength; to
love their neighhcrs as themselves
and to love their enemies, if thew
have any. l do not know how it is
that members of the different
can hate each other, and
Mt the same time claim to have this
religion, which casts out all hatred
They have been DECEIVED. They
have not got what they imagined
hey had. 1t is strange how people
ot one denomination cum abuse peo-
pie of another, and at The same
'ime claim that they have this re-
ision, which casts out all pre;u-
Ices. Let all who have any hatred
II their hearts stop and think, be-
ore it is too late. p

They sent to England Dana, and put paddock on his mouth, and Yale lock on all the professors mouths to get this evi- dence kept silent. We could not have learned of it if we would, and these professors were told over and again not to tell anybody about it. This had the effect of keeping the de. fense in the dark about 1t. Don't talk about fairness. Hayden might. MT. Jones then gave the sheriff scoring on the ground of exceeding authority in demanding the speci- mems of barn arsenic, in threatening arrest as an accomplice. Everything was still a se- cret. They were looking, not after the ends of justice, but to get conviction of Hayden.
 How would the senior counsel in this case have acted? In my judgment, when he had reason to suppose that arsenic had been found in that human stomach, I calculate he would have said to the opposing counsel, TT find arr senic and give you due notice." In this he would have subserved his own case and the ends of justice. This would certainly have shown that his object was not conviction as all hazards. And then the hue and the outcry about blood on the knife. Thank heaven they did not get our clothing. They did not get that until thorough examination at private hands had been made, and until competent expert had examined them. If they had got hold of that clothing God only knows what Treadwen would have found. This is not allss gentlemen. No, gentlemen, in the manage, ment of this case it was necessary to keep public opinion all right. They must have some influential men to back them up. Public opinion at least must be all right.

Public sentiment must be cared for. I presume they got five dollars day each. do not know where it came from perhaps from the State. The State was literally pIundered to keep influential men all right. I think Scranton's influence went for considerable. Now you see Scranton is not an ordinary man. Five dollars day is nothing.
