THE LEADING NEW ENGLAND
NEWSPAPER.

Established: The Weekly in 1924; The Daily In
1874; The Sunday in 1878. by Samuel Bowles.
The Springfield Republican has long been re-
cOgnized as the leading and representative
newspaper of New England, and is more widely
known and quoted than any other. Its growth
and present position are unique. There is no
other daily newspaper in the world, published
in so small city, that has so large a constitu-
ency and so potent an influence on the thought
of the time. During the past year the circula-
from l1.0O0 to 1900 The Weekly Republican,
besides its large circulation in New England
has a considerable and growing audience at the
West and South, and even abroad.
In politics, The Republican is thoroughly in

news and tell the truth about it," This it aims
to do carefully, fairly and conscientiously. 1t
has its own opinions on all public questions and
is not slow to express them in vigorous, intelli-
gibe English, but it recognizes the rights of OPP
itself and its views. The Republican at present
labors especially for thorough reform in the
civil service, a sharp, intelligent and impartial
revision of the tariff and a sound financial sys-
form, but It applauds the good and condemns
the evil in all of them.
The Republican is not simply political news

Stock Breeding.

"a correspondent of the London
Agricultural Gazette, who is breed
er of Shorthorns, thinks that man
must have something besides cattle
and a herd book to attain much emf
nance or real success as breeder,
and remarks that successful Short
horn breeding is an instinct. Though
the herd book may assist the man
who has the natural gift, insomuch as
it is check upon fraud, it never can
give what nature has denied, and
furthermore has preniclous effect liz
inducing those who know nothing
whatever about Shorthorns, to go
into breeding pedigree" stock for
the mere sake of making money,
causing an exaggerated value to be
placed on tribe on account of its
rarity, etc., whereas this very rarity,
or in other words, want of fecupdiiy,
should insure its condemnation.

A Plain and Easy way of Curing Hams.

The principal thing in curing hams
is to get them just salt enough to
keep them and not so salt as to in
lure the flavor and cause them to be-
come hard. Hams should be neatly
trimmed and cut rounding, to initiate
as close. as may be the hams of com
merce. Trim closely, go there will be
no masses OF fat left at the lowest ex
tremity of the hams. The shoulders
may be cut in shape convenient for
packing, and they should be salted
in different packages from the hams.
Hams are cured by both dry salt
ing and brine. When dry sailing is
employed the hams are rubbed often
with salt and sugar. Between each
rubbing they are punched up on plat
forms or tables, the, surface OF which
is spread with layer of salt, and
each ham is also covered with salt.
When taken up to rub, which is usu-
ally done five or SIX times, shallow
box is at hand in which to do the
work.
When brine is used, prepare a Pfc
kle strong enough to float an egg and

The Course of Prices in Wheat for the Har.
vest Year.

San Francisco Journal of Com
merce says: Wheat was higher dur
ing the past year than for a couple of
years previously. There was a great
competition amongst shippers, and
but for the high freights prevalent
"a natural concqmitant of heavy
crop-there is little doubt that Is to
80 cents more would have been
reached than was really paid. The
prices, however, were, in themselves
good, and sufficient to pay both far
mers and shippers well. Fortunes
were made last year both in wheat
and freights, and the harvest year of
1872 will long be remem bered as
one of activity and prosperity.
The market opened in July at
$l.424 as the top figure. At this
there was a good demand, and there
was an advance first to $1.45 and by
the close or the month to $1.50. Aug
ust was an exciting month, during
which the market advanced to 81. 70,
dropping to sl.e5, going up to sl.724
then down $40 again, all for No. l
shipping. The cause of the fustua-
tions was the varying rates of the
charter market, which were reflected
in the price of wheat. These figures
are 25 cents over those of the previ-
GUS year. September dropped to
$1.e5, and went up to s$1.724, with
sl.75 for the best milling. October
exhibited great activity; not less than
10000 tons were then purchased,
and the market went up by jumps to

Best Breed of Sheep.

We are often asked by those who
are contemplating che purchase of 8
few good sheep to raise flock from
which is the best breed of sheep,
til at is one of the questions that has
not yet been settled in the west-lf
it has in any section of the country.
A writer in the Ecrns and Garden
discusses the subject as follows:
Which is the best breed of sheep?
Is it the Cotswold, with their noble
presence, great Antiquity, thorough
pedigree, their health, hardness,
longevity, and heavy feeces and
heavy carcasses, their prolificacy or
good nursing qualities? Is it the Lei-
cesters, with finer bone, greater re-
fnement of carcass, fleece and points,
aptitude to fat, good wool, neat out
line, desirable fiber, length of staple
and profitable ribs? Is it the South
downs, medium size, extreme hardi-
ness, adoption to bill pastures, grand
symmetry, unequalled mutton, early
maturity, tough constitution, and
productiveness in breeding coupled
with surity of raising? Is it the Ma
rino, with its swollen form, fine wool,
hardihood, fine fleece, impervious,
pelt like covering, their remarkable
fecundity, and good motherhood? Is
it any of these, or some fixed grade
of these, or is it each and all? By
fixed grade or crosses we mean suca
breeds as Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire
downs, etc. Is it some one, or all
these? We contend that it is all. No
one breed is best for all climates and
conditions; no one breed is equally
adapted to mountain pastures and to-
plains. Each is best where it thrives
the best. Let the shepherd study the
breeds, study his wants, his pasturags
and climate, market, and then select
with judgment derived from knowl-
edge. Size of flock, surface, soil, ex-
posure, ali should be taken into ac-
count. These are questions all must
study and determine for themselves
and they are points that underlie all
success in sheep husbandry. All are
best where best adapted. All are
worse where worse conditioned. We
need each and all. We have d;versi~
ty enough to accommodate all.

that it tends to harden the meat. In
moderate quantity it is commonly ac-
cepted as beneficial. Cover the hams
with the pickle and place the pack
ages where the temperature is uni
form and above freezing. For hams
of twelve pounds, four weeks will be
sufficient; large hams must remain in
the brine longer time. In general,
three to seven weeks embraces the
extremes of time required for domes-
tic curing of hams, varying as to size
of the hams, temperature and time
when they will be required for use.
When it is designed to preserve hams
through the summer they must not
be removed from the pickle too
soon.
Shoulders require much the same
treatmen. as do hams, and both
should be carefully smoked. The
preservative principle of smoke is
know as creosote. Smoke made by
burning corn cobs is highly esteemed.
but those engaged in curing meats on
larger scale prefer the smoke OBJ
tanned from dry hickory that has
been stripped of Its bark. The smok-
ing process must not be too much
hurried or the creosote will not have
time to penetrate the entire substance
of the meat. Ten DAYS smoke is US
ually sufficient, unless the pieces are
very large and thick.
A process in ham-curing practiced
by some of the leading packing
houses consists in creating the smoke
in an oven outside of the smoke
house and passed through under
ground pipes into it. The smoke ris-
ing from the floor to the top of the
house. encounters two opposite cur

These currents cause the smoke to
form into rapidly revolving h orr
izontal column which passes among
the hams. The smoke is not warm
and there is no heat to melt the hams
or hot air to blacken them. The
hams under this process are smoked
in very much less time than by the
old method.

dropping to $1.75 again. and ther
going up to SLIT, at which the month
closed.
The same price prevailed till the
middle of November, when a drop
occurred, first to 81 rs, then to Sl.72
and finally to $1.7o. December was
a Waterloo in the wheat market for
| there was reguler descending scale
of prices, first to $l.673 for fort
night. then rapidly to sl.65, $l.e24,
and finally to $l.6o-the lowest since
July.
January and the new year opened
more favorably for holders, as there
were prospects Of very short crop,
owing to the continued dry Gather.
The market opened a fraction over
sl.7o, advancing to sl.724, and drop
ping to $l.7o again before the close.
February showed good steady
front. There was u purchase at
Stockton for shipment by rail at
sl.7o; the market dropped to $1.e74
by the 18th, and finally to s1.e5 by
the last day of the month.
March, the month of storms, was
noted for shipments to Texas and
the South of various parcels, and ne
gotiations for shipments to Great
Britain via the Southern Pacific.
The market opened at sl.65, waver-
ed for a few days between sl.e5 and
sl.e23, returning again to s1.o7a,
dropped to sl.64, advanced TO $40
and closed at s1.65.
In April shipment was made to
Great Britain by rail at SIS ton,
and freights went down. The mar
ket, however, remained pretty steady
at s1.65 as the.top figure. Towards
the close there was an advance of /
to q cents. The month OF May was
noted for good prices, the result part
ly of lower freights, partly of the es-
tablishment of the call system, which
was in full swing during the month
and which was calculated to give the
highest possible figure for wheat.
The month opened with sl.66 as the
top figure for shipping wheat. An
advance to $l.75 was soon made,
and at that renamed for most of the
month. On the 25th, however, there
was drop to S1.72, at which it re-
mained till well on into Juue.
The certainty of luxuriant har-
vest, tended to depress the level OF
the market during this month; but
speculation was rife, and though
there was a decline, it did not get
below sl.71.
OF course, the price here given, re-
port the top of the market, below
which there is always range of
about 10 cents for shipping wheat.
The prospects of the ensuing year
are, as we take it, for good prices and
moderate freights. Very high figures
cannot be expected, as the worlds
crops are too large for that. The
establishment of the call system un-
aoubtedly tends to give the highest
price, and to draw all the wheat on
the coast to the San Francisco mar
ket. Hence the opposition of many
to it at first has faded away. Look
ng back at last yearSit will be seen
hat California, as a whole, must be
well satisfied with what she accom-
olished in the disposal of her wheat
