that the present growing demand for
hornless cattle did not begin sooner.
Horns are handsome additions to
pet cattle, but no good business rea-
son for preferring them can be ad-
vanced. For shipping purposes the
Polled cattle are certainly superior.
The Scotch Polled Angus cattle are
now as popular as the Norfolk and
Suffolk Reds. The latter are more
valuable for beef and dairy pur-
poses. \ noted English shorthorn
breeder is said to have remarked:
i wish | could put some of the good
points | find on the Polled cattle on
the animals l am breeding" The
points of a good animal of this class
are rs follows: Color: deep red
with udder Of the same color, but
the tip Of the tail may be white;
nose not dark or cloudy. Form: a
neat head and throat; full eye; q
tuft or crest of hair should hang over
the forehead. The frontal bones
should begin to contract a little above
the eyes and should terminate in
comparatively narrow prominence
at the summit of the heal. In all
other particulars the commonly ac-
cepted points of a superior animal
are to be taken as applying to the
Norfolk and Suffolk Polled cattle.

Stacking Wheat.

There is no question but that it is
a great deal better for the farmer to
stack his wheat and let it go through
the universal sweat before threshing,
than it is to thresh out of the shocks
and let the wheat sweat in the bin
1t is law Of nature that wheat Will
sweat. The only time when wheat
should be threshed out of the shock,
is when it is to be Immediately sold
and delivered at once. Then those
who purchase the grain can take the
risk Of the liability Of the damage
which is caused BY the heating pro
cess in the bin. Then. again, wheat
that is well stacked for the matter OF
six @ eight weeks before it is
threshed, will weigh more to the
bushel than wheat threshed out Of
the sbock.-Western Rurrl.

Favorable Indications of the Success
of the Coming Fair.

The time for holding the fair of
the S. ". Wis. l. A. is close at hand,
and from reports received by the
secretary and other officers Of the
association, there is reason to believe
that the fair Of 1881 viii be a grand
success. The fair comes early in the
season. and before any other fairs
are held in Wisconsin, and at time
when it will be convenient for nearly
everybody to attend. It is not nee
essary to attempt to set forth the
benefits and advantages to be derived
from properly conducted agricultural
and mechanical exhibitions. There
is no doubt that the fairs of the S.
w. Wis. /. a. have been Of great
benefit to this section of the state.
The marked improvement in the
breeding of fine stock, and in nearly
everything relating to the cultivation
Of the soil is largely due to the ri
valry which has been created among
stockmen and farmers BY these an
nual exhibitions. The increased in
terest taken in nearly every depart
ment of the fair is sufficient evil
dence Of the value of the work of
! the association. The S. w. Wis. /.
a. Is perhaps the only fair associa-
ton in the state, not bolstercd up by
artificial support, which for the past
twelve years has paid every dollar of
its large premium in full. With IA
yorable weather there can be no rca-
sonable doubt Of the success Of the
coming fair The people Of this
part OF the state are awakening to
their interests; there is no more pro
ductiye soil on the face of the globe
than that of southern Wisconsin
there is 10 section Of country that
can boast of finer farms or more in
telligent and industrious farmers;
the land fairly teens with mineral
and agricultural wealth, and this
wealth is building up and sustaining
nearly all kinds of business, the me
chanic rs well as the farmer pros
pers. Our prosperity engages the

The Bank Exchanges.


The transactions of the different
bank clearinghouse of the Union
continue to show an almost general
increase over the operations of the
corresponding time Of last year.
This is peculiarly gratifying in view
of the fact that we should now be in
the midst, in some branches of trade
at least, of what is known as the
midsummer dizziness, and therefore
the increase must be accepted as
meaning great growth Of the general
trade of the country. Some allow
ance must be made for the swelling
of the bank exchanges at New York
and Chicago by the increased specu-
latica in stocks, cotton, grain and
provisions; but even at those points
no inconsiderable portion Of the gain
is the natural result Of more activity
in legitimate business, to which
cause alone is due the gain reported
by many cities. Coming down to
figures, we find that for the week
ending July % there was a gain OF
56 per cent. over last year at Louis

leans, 40 at New York, IS at Boston,

With the exception Of Baltimore
all the other cities show gains vary

down to three per cent. at st. Louis.

sheds which have been prepared FOL
that purpose, and which Will hold
three months supply. No coal is
to be taken out of these sheds until
