During the last decade Garrett was
forme from Allegany. Giving the
latter credit for equal growth the
population of its territory in 1870
was 9,349; of Allegany, 29,l87; lat
ter's increase, last decade, $685..
Taxable property has increased in
value during 80 years at the average
annual rate of So per cent, while in
population the increase has been l04
per cent. per annum.
In 1870 the wealth per capita was
about $50; in 1881, $4Sl.7l. When
it is remembered, however, that
$6,39l, 523.40 of our valuations is
held upon coal lands owned mainly
by non-residents, our augmentation
of average individual wealth dimin-
ishes to $4,000.
This article, taken by the JOURNAL
from authoritative statistics, is worth
preserving for future reference.

The New BELL.-The Frostburg
Fire Department received its third
new bell one day last week from A.
Spawn, of New York, but like its
predecessors, it cracked on the frat
ringing. These bells were all guar
anteed for one year-the last one
didn't ring ten minutes without
cracking. At this average Mr.. Spawn
can take the medal as the champion
bell-founder of the United States or
Of the world. Allowing each of his
"year.guarantee' bells to last ten
minutes it would take $1,000 bells
per annum The bell was returned
to New York by the department who
are now sitting ON the stile" whist

Fall Pasturing.

The dairyman who pastures ordinary
meadows 10 the fall. robs his next crop to
an extent that he. does not realize. The
writer was conversant with case where
seventy-fve acres averaged regularly
about one hundred and thirty tons of ex-
celent hay. when no pasturing was al
lowed; and the owner. having tenant
who had been rather unfortunate. allowed
him to pasture some twenty five cows upon
the aftermath Of these meadows f0r a sin
gle fall. and the consequence was q reduc-
ton Of the Yield from $50 tons down to
TO sixty tons the next season, and the yield
was never rpcovered until reseeding 1t
was estinl11nd that the whole value Of the
twenty-five Cows in the fall was not equal
to the injury Of the nsxt crop on the seven
ty-fve acres Of nsadow. This practice of
pasturing meadows is one of the most ru-
inous Of the mistakes among dairymen
and causes them often to be so short of
hay as 10 iniure the yield of their heards
in the spring. Good feeding through the
winter lays the foundation for a good
yield OF milk the following season with
good cows. Good meadows are very es-
sential to success in dairying. and there
fore this question should be most careful
ly considered. - National Lire Stock Jour

Demand for Cows.

That there 10 a scarcity OF cows in this
country 10 plain. Prices have been going
higher for some time. and the demand is
sharp. There Is no immediate prospect
that lower prices will rule very soon.
The Increasing consumption of dairy pro-
ducts at home and abroad is one thing
that keeps prices high. Besides there is
\ stroegsr demand in towns and cities for
COED mich cows than has been known
heretofore. A large number of persons.
whose means admit Of keeping cow for
their own use. prefer doing so than to pay
for milk largely diluted with water. An
exchange published west of us says that
butchers have nearly as much trouble to
get stock as the dealers. and have to pay
steadily stiffening prices. The shipments
to Europe. and the immensely increased
demand for meat in our own country.
will shortly divert the attention OF farmers
in the Mississippi Valley more exclusive
ly to the production of beef aud mutton.
and less TO wheat. Our dairymen will
have to manage their COWS better. and

Charcoal for Hogs.

Whatever hog medicine contains a
good proportion OF charcoal is presump-
lively good medicine. 1t may be pos
sible for quackery to 80 combine charcoal
with other ingredients that the efficacy OF
this remedial agent will be destroyed. but
it would, we believe. take regular
double barrelled quackery to destroy il
under any circumstances. 1t is a most
useful medicine by itself. and worth more
than any other one ingredient that we
ever put into medicine. 1t benefit the

Cattle CAfs..

The principal obstacle to the introduc-

have become common among these men
are not as well known as they should be.
We have no hesitation in saying that this
business should be regulated By law. and
the practices alluded to should be made
crimes punishable by heavy penalties.
One Of the Eastern tIunk lines recently
experimental with an improved stock
car, and would have adopted it but for the
opposition Of one Of its principal custo-
mers. This man is in the habit Of depriv-
ing his cattle OF water until they are near
the end of their route. They are fed On
sailed hay until their thirst becomes terri
BILE. Just before they are TO be weighed
for selling they are allowed to drink all
they can, for the purpose of increasing
their weight to the utmost. This practice
has become common in the West as well
as IN the East. Another practice, having
the sane end in view, il thar Of feeding
hogs who have been allowed to become
very hungry, upon soft coal-of which d.
gestibIe and nourishing food they will. un-
der such circumstances, consume incred-

manity or honesty would think o. defend

A Prosperous State.

In Atkinson, Kansas, a German
American immigration Society has
been formed. It's platform declares
that the prohibition amendment
has turned all foreign i'm migration
away from Kansas, to the serious
injury of the growth and prosperity
OF the State, and demands the repeal
of the amendment-DetrOit Public
Leader.
Gov. st John denies this states
ment and clinches it with proof
But suppose it was true. Kansas
would be and will be far better off
without that class OF foreign, or even
native population, who prefer a
whisky State TO temperance one.
On the contrary the temperance
people are nearly ali moving to
Kansas, because they know that
taxation and crime will be less there
than in any other State in the I'm
ioE, and property therefore for the
future relatively higher We to-
day had some direct testimony upon
this subject from Mrs. Matilda
Fletcher, the weII-known lady lec~
turer. She related to Us the toll
lowing incident: 81 was in Indiana
Il few days since, and the lady at
whose home | was stopping said
that she had just bought a farm in
Kansas forIher SON 1 asked why
| = hn IiA NJ GOOD 49, 80 L.,
my own State. She replied, Be-
cause Kansas has a prohibition law. ;
This lady theE counted up nine
young men from that township who
had been sent to Kansas because of
the stringent temperance law"
Mrs. Fletcher also reIated;an in
stance of family she met going to
Kansas, who had intended going to
Nebraska until after the amendment
was rejected in the State, and car
RED In Kansas, and then they at
once, although at considerable ex
Pense, changed their route 20 Kan
sas. Not long since we heard a man
who takes his daily glass say that
If he was going West to live he
should choose Kansas, for it. under
prohibition laws, would be the most
intelligent, virtuous, and prosper
Gus Of the Western States; that
whlky bummers and criminals
would avoid it, while the very best
families would surely choose it.
That is the opinion of every honest
man who has given the subject care~
tul thought. Prohibitionists should
spread abroad these facts in contra
diction to the lies of the whisky in
terests.-NntiondI Liberator.

The spirit of unrest and dissatis-

to California, they are organizing

the name is concerned, but you may
call it rag baby" Republicanism,
Grangerism, Conservative Demo
cracy, Sorehead ism, or by whatever
name you choose; you may attribute
it to whatever influence you please;
but time will develop that there is
an agency, new and powerful at
work, which is inspiring new hopes.
new expectations and new desires
in the hearts of the people, which
influence will strengthen, deeper
and deeper until the "blackness of
darkness" which has overshadowed
oul land be forever dispelled when
prosperity and happiness will again
abound, and when ''peace on earth,
and good will to all men" will be
the prevailing sentiment The ope-
