ANTS PROTECTING FRUIT TREES

In many parts of the province Of Canton,
where, says Chinese writer, cereals cannot
be proftably cultivated, the land is devoted
to the cultivation of orange trees, which,
being subject to devastation from worms,
require to be protected in peculiar manner
that is, by importing ants from neighbor-
ing hills, for the destruction of the dreaded
parasite. The orangeries themselves supply
ants which prey upon the enemy of the
orange, but not in sufficient numbers, and
resort is had to hill people, who throughout
the summer and winter find the nests sus-
pended from branches of bamboo and var
ious trees. There are two varieties of ants,
red and yellow, whose nests resemble cotton
bags. The "orange ant-breeders are pro-
yided with pig, or goat bladders, which are
baited inside with lard The orifces of
these they apply to the entrance of nests,
when the ants enter the bags and become a
marketable commodity at the orangeries.
Orange trees are colonized by depositing the
ants on their upper branches, and, to enable
them to pass from tree to tree, all the trees
Of an orchard are connected by bamboo
rods. North Gaiaa Naes

From present indications the bulk of the
cattle driven nOrthward in 1883 will be for
ranch purposes and not for sale as hereto
fore. In canvassing the contracts already
made we find that nearly all the cattle con-
tracted are for Northern ranchmen who
have had their agents here buying. The
drive will not exceed in numbers 10000
head,of which it is safe to say that not more
than $4,000 will be for sale on open market.
We have believed for several years that the
day was close at hand when the drive
would stop, and that Northern ranchmen
would buy our cattle at home and shin
them out by rail, and the large number of
cattle lately bought and to be shipped. not
driven, show that the time for the change
has arrived. If we had direct communica-
ton with some point on the Arkansas riy-
er, and liberal rate of freight was offered,
the driving of large herds from this coun.
try would cease, and even with our present
railroad facilities, if any liberality is shown
to our cattlemen large per cent of next
years trail cattle will be shipped as far as

A generally well-informed stockman
said to us recently: "Instead of there be.
ing an underestimate of cattle in the coun-
try there is an over-estimate. In nine cases
out OF every ten man who ownes but five
thousand head of cattle is credited with
owning from five to ten thousand. If this
is true, and we are much disposed to think
so, it contains moral that cattlemen will
do well to heed. If the estimates of the
cattle OF the country are too large isn't it
more probable that prices will be higher
than lOwer?-Texas Live Stock Journal.

Prof. Knapp, of the Iowa Agricultural
college: writes to the Homestead, saying
that taking the best-specmens of each
breed of cattle and carefully compare them
cannot see for beef purposes one has very
much thc advantage over the other. Ihaye
seen Polled Angus heifers, at two years old
weigh fifteen hundred pounds, and three
years old weigh eighteen hundred pounds.
These were selected in England and i'm
ported. Both Herefords and short-horns
have equalled it, and venture the assertion
that, if an equal number of the best speci-
mems of those breeds were selected and
placed under the same conditions, there
would be scarcely any difference in profit
for beef. There IS no sense in paying
twelve hundred dollars for Polled Angus
helfer when an equally good short-horn
can be bought for one-sixth OF. the money!

Where Cattle Come From.

When we read of 250,OOO head of cattle
being driven every year from Texas to the
Northern markets, and when we are assured
that in 1870 as many as 0,0O0 were driven
on foot to Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas.
besides thousands shipped by steamer to
New Orleans and elsewhere, we are sur
prised to learn that the drain of the herds
OF Texas does not perceptably decrease the
number in the state. When we visit the
great ranches of Western Texas we are no
longer surprised, but rather wonder that the
United States holds people enough to eat
and use all the cattle we see. 1t has been
found from Il careful examination of the
census bureau reports that to every one
hundred persons in the United States there
is required eighty head of cattle and that
the requirement has not varied one per
cent in thirty years. Taking this,as basis
OF calculation, we find that the Northern
and Eastern States have less than the reuris-
ite number of cattle, while Texas and other
Western states have more than the requisite
number. and it is to these states that the
East looks for her beef supply.-South and
West.

annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad elect
cd three new directors. The board of
directors on January IL, 1882, deter
mined to throw $15,000.OO0 by the is
sue of the first general mortgage of
FIVE per cent coupon bonds, the greater
part of the money so raised to be ap-
piled to funding at the lowest interest
on the present Indebtedness as it falls
due and the residue to be eapplied to the
payment of arrearages of interest, adj
ding to equipment, etc This was APP
proved at the stock holders meeting
April 6, 1882, by large
majority but actual issue of
stock and the reduction of the
mortgage deferred until after the
present meeting. The company is now
ready to take this step and it will re-
main for the board now elected to de-
termine the time and manner of issu-
ing bonds and placing them ON the
market. The net earning for the year
ending June 30, 1882, were $84, :

CINCINNATI, Oct 12.- Speaker
Keifer says: 1t is now matter of
history that the prohibition party had
rather fall than whisky should tri-
umph and that the Republicans should
succeed. DO what we might, we could
not interest the voters in the rural dis
tricts; they saw no occasion for alarm
and remained at home. The Demo-
Gratis were well organized; the
saloon keepers hired two good workers
TO take charge at each voting precinct,
and to these men was entrusted the
duty of seeing that these voters were
got to the polls. In cities such an ef-
fort was not necessary. the returns
show that the Democrats made all
their gains in the stronghold of the
Republican party, and all on account
of the general apathy that prevail
ed among our people, This temper
ance question will certainly form an
issue year hence, when a
Governor and legislature are elected.
L incline to the belief that the next
campaign will be fully as remarkable
as this. l suppose the victory cost the
whisky men 100000. and they will
cheerfully pay $500,000 next time, they
can afford to have party which they

are springing into existence much like
the anti-slavery societies were be-
ing organized over forty yeas ago
in the north. We realize that intelli-
gent and well meaning men will differ
in regard to the details of the law, for
a remedy of the evil or the enforce
ment of any right. Realizing this. we
hope the Republican party win have
courage to say for itself that the pro-
duetion and traffic in and use of alco-
holic drinks are problems that
challenge the most ardent con-
sideration of the highest intel
ligence, because they involve the
question of the highest political and
social Importance. 1t cannot be de-
MED that the Incorporate use of alco-
holic drinks is one of the most incor-
rigble evils of the age of Republican
ism. Free whisky and desecrated Sab
baths cannot associate together. If
the Republican party hopes to retain
power in the nation it must appeal to
the intelligent and moral and conscien
tious voters of the country without re-
gard to the question of nationalities.
