Cattle OH the Island OfJersey.

Mr.. Jonathan Smith contributes to the
English Lire Stock Jo'unul, an interesting
account Of Jersey cattle at home, from
which we take the leading points:
Jersey is but n small island. If it
were square 1t would just be six and three
quarter miles each way. Yet this little
spo; manages to support about 10000
cattle, that is, roughly speaking for
every two acres of its surface crock, roads
and water, and house room for $4,000
people included). And it has done this
for the last twenty years at least; for the
census of 1877 gives the number of cattle
in Jersey as l2,037. What is still moro
remarkable, it exports every year
above 1000 head (thc average export by
the census returns for the las. eighteen
years being 2,049), nearly one for every
ten acres. Now the total number Of cat
tie in England only averages one head to
ten acres. 1t therefore follows that in
proportion 10 Its size, Jersey exports
every year AS many cattle as England
contains. In other words, if England
were to export stock at the same rate, her
whole stock would be swept away in n
single year Not Z hoof would be left
behind. All the beef for our
10000 people is imported every week
from the ncighboring coast of France,
and from Spain; and this has been the
case for the last one hundred years.
With our 10000 cr,tle we do not rear n
single bullock; neither do we make a
single pound of cheese, and probably
never did a good Jersey will
yield half her own weight Of butter in a
year. She rarely exceeds 500 pounds in
weight, and her average here is about
600 pounds Cows that will yield half
that weight Of butter arc to be found in
every good herd"

THE POULTRY EARD.-The Moulting
Season is now at hand, and it is q critical
and trying time with the adult fowls.
Fowls during this great strain Of casting
offthc old plumage and getting new are
in q weak and debilitatcd state, and need
especial attention. In majority of
cases, at this season Of the year farmers
are too prone to conclude that the fowls
can take care of themselves-get their
D wing. This is true, however, only
--nder especially favorable circumstances
"hoTc tho fowls are permitted 10 1n-
JOY an unlimited range, which
should necessarily include wheat stub.
Bile, or where they can scratch over the
straw and cha1' from the threshing.
Even when flock may be thus favorably
situated it is mistaken economy not to feed
them. Ii fowls are fed regularly, during
moulting, morning and evening, they
get through the strain Of moulting much
sooner, are less susceptible to disease,
begin their laying again much sooner,
and are able TO commence the winter with
hearty, vigorous constitution-in fact, as
flock properly cared for during July and
August 'show their keeping" for year
afterwards. The morning feed at this
time should consist of good, sweet corn
meal and wheat bran or middings
the latter preferable-scaded with
boiling water, and about twice a weok
eda g .eaaspoonfui of fax seed meal to
each quart Of the mixed food. Keep
clean, pure, fresh water where the fowls
can have access to it, and replenish their
drinking vessels several times during the
day. If you have not nice shady retreats
for them, you must provide them, for henf
like humans, enjoy MONDAY siesta in
the shade.-American Farmer.

One who has been prominent in this
movement said to Tribune reporter:
There has been good deal idle talk
have been opposed to this gift, as though
President Garfield, in the event of his
recovery, or Mrs. Garfield, would refuse
to accept it. All such talk is based on a
misapprehension Of the real facts in the
case. Neither the President nor Mrs.
Garfield has any voice III the matter.
This is trust fund and under its condi.
tlons the money is invested in United
States government bonds, and kept in
trust by the United States Trust Com
Pany.. The income from the bonds is to
be paid to Mrs. Garfield during her life,
and at her death tho principal is to be
divided among the surviving children of
the President. If Mrs. Garfield should
refuse the income, it would go back and
become part of the fund; it would be re-
invested, and at her death be distributed
with the original principal among the
Presidents children. know, moreover,
that the fund has already been great
source of comfort to the President II is
not generally known, but fact ncyerthe-
less, that certificates for the $125,0O0
bonds which have been purchased have
already been placed in the hands of Mrs.

On Saturday last 3Iessrs Drexel & Co.,
Of Philadelphia, notified Mr.. Cyrus w.
Field that i'll the event Of the Presidents
death they proposed to receive in that

Gariield's benefit, heading the list with
$4,000, anl inquiring whether Mr. Field
approved the plan, in reply to which he
telegraphed his approval.

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
Sherman's Reasons for Not Consenting {,
an Order for the Testimony

Sherman's Reasons for Not Consenting to
an Order for the Testimony.
Washington, Oct. 21.-The resolution
introduced in the senate by ex-Secretary
Sherman week ago, requiring the secre-
tary of the treasury to transmit to the
senate the report of the investigation
made by James L. Meline and others,
into the operations of the department
during Mr.. Shermau's administration,
was adopted by the senate to-day. A
vain attempt was made by tie demo-
Gratis to amend the resolution, but by q
strict patty vote the amendment was re-
jected, president Davis voting with the
republicans. The wording of Mr.. Sher-
mans resolution was peculiar. 1t reads
rs follows:
"rhat the secretary of the treasury is
hereby directed to transmit to the senate
o copy of the report. ETC., and of any
papers received by him based upon such
While it is known that the report con-
tains nothing derogatory of Secretary
Sherman, the democrats hoped to score
point by bringing out the testimony
upon which the report was based. 1t
was not anticipated by the democrats
that Mr.. Sherman would object
to the presentation of this
testimony. When Mr.. Sherman call
ed up bis resolution to-day Mr..
Farley, of California, moved to amend
by directing the testimony taken by the
investigators to be forwarded with the
report. Mr.: Sherman objected, very
properly, to the amendment. In his
long experience in the department he
has learned the methods of persons who
desire to injure those employed by the
government against whom they have
fancied or real cause of grievance. He
informed the senate that the adoption of
the amendment would involve the sen
ate in very unusual proceeding. The
commission had no authority to admins.
ter oaths to witnesses. and he presumed
that the statements and information fur
nished the investigators, whether anony.
nous or otherwise, were not based upon
sworn allegations. If the report was
found to contain anything worthy of in.
quiry the testimony upon which it was
based could then be called for. The sen,
ate had never before, to his knowledge
proposed to be the medium for the cir
culation of mere scandals and ex parte
statements.
Mr.. Morrill, and Mr.. Dawes supported
Mr. Sherman, and pointed out the dan
ger to be apprehended from Mr.. Farley
amendment.
, On q call for the ayes and nays th
amendment was defeated by strict par
ty vote-23 nays and 21 ayes.
Mr.. Garland suggested to Mr.. Shel
5 man that he modify his resolution so n
D to call for copies Of such papers rs til
: report was based upon.
;. Mr.. Sherman declined to adopt til
= suggestion, and rs MIR. Garland did nc

The Government and the League.

London, Oct. 2G-Sir William Har-
court, speaking at Glasgow yesterday,
after receiving the freedom of the city,
said: Both the late and present gov
ernments were reluctant to proceed at
an early stage against the land league,
because it was not deemed desirable to
suppress what pretended to be consti-
tutional agitation, especially if connect
ed with with real grievance; but when
such agitation avowed illegal voters, no
government would be supported
in any and all measures
it might take for the safety of society.
The task, he said, was painful and diff.
cult. but the government having set its
hand to the plow they might rely on Its
not turning back. The speech was re-
ceived with prolonged cheering.

Running Water Post: The Central
Pacific surveyors arrived in Running
Water on Tuesday and at once COM
menced taking observatsons from every
bluff between here and Frank Donnel-

crossed to the Nebraska side and made q
survey as far up as the mouth of the
Running Water. Men and skiffs were
engaged Wednesday and yesterday in
crossing the surveyors from that point
to the Dakota shore, and to-day they
were to start up the north side of the
Niobrara river. They will survey until
they meet the party from Ogden or are
driven back by cold weather. This GER
talnly looks as if they intended to make
Running Water their Missouri river ter
