The Baby President.

There Is nobody that did not unde, stand
that grief.stricken old lady, the mother OF
the President, when she said: allow could
anybody be SO cold.hearted as to attempt
to kill'my babyl" Her baby! The chief
magnate Of fifty millions Of people. Her
baby! the grandest figure before the world,
the full.arned type Of American manhood,
physically and Intellectually the superior
Of any ruler Of any people on the earth.
And yet to her he was not the representa-
tive Of the people in Congress, not the Sen.
ator from Ohio, not even the President of
the United States, In all his dignities and
honors; he was her baby still. How in
that time the mother spoke. Honors, ii.
ties, Offices were nothing. His first claim
to her consideration was the fact that he
was her baby, and she could no more com.
prehend enmity to him al President than
injury to him as child.
How wonderful, how inexplicable is a

the link that binds the world together. Op.
posed, the shrinking women becomes a
tigress and dies for her offspring rather
than desert it. Over disgrace, over crime,
over home affections and over all other
ties, it rides and rules, dcfying fate and
scorning death.
Before this Borrowing old lady the world
stands uncovered In reverence, in sympa-

him as ever anybody's baby, but he was and
is, and there is grief in that fond old
mothers heart surprising all that the Ma.

HOUSE, FARM AND PRESIDE.

DoN'T LET THE Cows GO DRY.-A
long even season Of milk is absolutely
necessary to he a profitable one.
There is nothing that the dairyman
needs more exhortation upon than
that of giving full ration to his
herd at all times during the milking
season.
There is less excuse for feeding a
good mich COW stingily than any
other farm animal. She does not ask
any credit; she makes prompt daily
payment; and her product is cash
article. If he has not the food at
hand prudence and good judgment,
as well as humanity, requires him to
furnish her full rations at all times,
without regard to a favorable or un-
favorable season. We always coun-
sci dairyman to make an earnest eff
fort to produce all the food for their
herds upon their own farms, but the
first principle of profitable dairying
requires that they give abundant food
to keep up an even flow of milk,
whether they produce or purchase
the food.

COMPETITION AMONG FARMERS
With the growth of the demand, there
has come vast increase of competi-
tionto the American farmer. The won
derful development of transportation
facilities has thrown each grain or
stock grower into direct competition
with those engaged in the same bust
ness all over this country, and in Eu-
rope and Asia as well. The prices
of the crops grown by Western far
mers are much more Influenced by
the good or bad harvest in Great
Britain, than by the good or bad bar
vest in dozen neighhoring counties.
Over much Of our country marked
change in condition is in rapid pro-
gress. In quarter of a century sew
eral Of the Western States have pass
ed from the pioneer stage to that Of
well settled regions. AS this change
goes on, the price of land advances,
until the rate of increase in price be-
comes slow. Competition increases
greatly and it ceases to be the rule
that almost any one can fairly sue
coed as a farmer. Excepting some
periods of financial depression, it is
doubtful if any country ever offered
better opportunities for reasonable
success in farming than our own. AS
the country grows older and the pop
ulation becomes greater with conse-
quent increase of competition, and of
price of land, the condition Of affairs
will begin to resemble that in most
older countries. Success in money
making will not be the general rule.
1t will be won only by intelligent and
persistent effort. There will be an
abundant supply of men who can
produce the common qualities Of farm
products in the usual ways. Only
those who can produce articles above
the average cost Of production will
have satisfactory profits,
Better preparation for and more
intelligence in the work of farming,
are clearly demanded, if success is to
be secured in the comparatively near
future

Facts.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con-
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. By the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but a single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such ad
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a
talk or receiving letter from one of
the B. & o. Agents. A letter address
ed to B. F. Bond, Cumberland. Md. /;
to G. E. Dudrow, Harper's Ferry; to
Dan'l Bride, Baltimore, Md; or j.

either of these gentlemen will lead to
thorough information as to all necessa-
~ details Of time, connections, fares,
baggage and other matters.

BREAKING CoLTs.--Colts should be
broken to harness at three years old,
and used in light work for two years
when they will become matured and
fit for full work. If they are used
for hard service before their joints
become settled, or surrounded by a
full-grown texture of muscles and
sinews to support them, they are liza
BILE to become strained, causing spav-
in or bony engagements, that will de-
stroy their future usefulness. Any
imbecile can break down the colt;
but it requires good sense to build
them up after they have been Grip
pied by ignorant taskmasters. 1t is
not worth while to risk the expert
ment of converting sound colts into
invalids, when they will live longer
and perform more service if suffered
to ripen into the full matured horse
before being put to hard work.

CONDITION OF THE FARMING INT

CONDITION OF THE FARMING INTER
EsTs IN ENGLAND.-Most of your read
ers are aware that since 1874 farming
has been losing business to very
large proportion of English farmers.
A succession of very wet and very
cold summers, combined with Amer
lean competition, has been the cause;
and the sums that have been lost are
simply fabulous, and the number of
hard working well-to-do farmers, who
have been completely ruined by
causes entirely beyond their control,
is legion. Present prospects are
more encouraging; but the remark on
every hand is, at will take success
sion of extra good crops to put us
right again" l was greatly surprised
to learn on what large scale farm
ing was carried on here. Through
Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Cam
bridgeshire, as well as in many OF
the Midland Counties, 400 acres is
quite an ordinary sized farm, and
they go on up to 600, 900, 1920, and
many into the the teens.
/ spent quite time with one far
mer in Cambridgeshire who is farming
1900 acres, and he is not an excep-
ton. The outlay required to stock
and equip these farms is fortune OF
itself. Horses by the score at 5000
to $500 each, sstore" steers by the
hundred at from $50 to $40, "store"
sheep by the hundreds, at 81 to $40.
Then the matter of machinery is a
larger item; portable engines for plow-
ing and threshing at $4,000, some
times on one farm. Another item is
artificial fertilizers, and another oil
cake, Indian corn, and bran again
creeping upinto the thousands. Then
small army of help must be paid
every week. Then comes the inevi-
table 'srent day." the taxes The tithes,
church rate, road tax, poor rate,
drain tax and school tax: and | am
sorry to say that in many places |
heard the latter most complained Of.
1t will be readily seen that poor

SYSTEM In BRITISH AGRICULTURE
One cannot travel through England
without admiring the thorough sys-
tenn in every industry-and in nc
branch is it more noticeable than in
:agriculture-but in some items
think they carry it too far. There is
a regular routine for the different
crops, and they figures out the cost
to nicely. In stock raising they
beyond question rise first in the
world. They have reduced the mat
ter to a science. They breed for O
purpose in every branch.

DENVER, COL, June II, 1851.
ED. NORTHWEST perhaps the most
hardened villain and dreaded man in Col
orado Jim Moon by name,) was shot and
instantly killed in a saloon, on Larimer
Street, this city, yesterday at II O'Clock a.
m., by Clay Wilson, Faro Dealer in the
defunct Luminary's gambling house. A
slight description of this Lunar body
which so suddenly collapsed may be of in
terest. Moon came to Colorado some five
or six years ago, and has been the terror
of the town ever since. He has killed
three men in Denver, but always managed
to defeat the hand Of justice. A short time
ago he defied the whole police force to ar
rest him, and with brace of six shooters
in his hand walked off, and not a man
dared follow him. Wilson, the slayer of
Moon came here from Leadville about four
weeks ago and worked for Moon as stated
above. They had some words the night
before, when Moon thrust a revolver in
Wilson'S face and threatened to kill him;
Wilson begged of, and yesterday morning
they met in the Arcade. Moon began on
Wilson again and reached for his revol-
YER, but he never got it out, Wilson was
too quick tor him and fired four bullets in
to him quicker than I can write it. Two
took effect just below the heart, another
through the neck and the fourth through
the hip. Moon died instantly. His body
