The West Virginia Legislature is tack
ling the Railroad Commission question.
One bill on the subject was recently
passed by the hOtheads of the House.
but it was so stringent in its provisions
that the more conservative members of
the Senate feared it would drive all the
railroads out of the State, and thereby
visit frreparable damage to the interests
Of the infant commonwealth, and so it
was rejected. A much more liberal
measure is now being considered.

The common belief even among emf

arises from bad drainage and the escape

The disease, he holds, is as much the re

into the human system as the growth Of
a crop Of wheat is the result Of the SOW

The famous Jersey Queen comes from the
herd imported by E. T. Fairbank q Co. and
was purchased when only few days old, TO-
gether with her mother, by ID. Harvey, OF
PeaCham Vt. She was sold when nine months
old to a farmer of that town for 1872. In SIX
months from that time she was purchased by
Asa Hoyt, "A cooper, Of the same place. Mr.
Hoyt owned her for several years. The last
year that she was in his possession he kept an
attentive account OF all the butter and milk
which the Queen produced. AT the end Of the
year he found that she had made 116 pounds
of butter.
In 1879 the COW was resold to JOSIAH $. Kin.
erson, of Barnet, VT, for 81 600 Mr. kiner
son chrstened her the Jersey Queen, and in
1881 he had an accurate account kept of her
milk and butter. She has already produced
between 500 and GOO pounds of butter, and at
the end of the year her record Will pass 800
pounds.
Mr. EMERSON has just sold the Queen to A.
B. Darling proprietor of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel of New York, for $4,000 cash Mr..
Darling now owns the best Two cows IN the

Fish Farming.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press believes that ev.
cry farmer may raise his own fish, and gives
the following directions:
BY attaching pump, propelled by the
wind, to well you can supply basin from
fifty to seventy five feet III diameter and six to
eight feet deep, with water sufficient to raise
several thousand carp or other fish The cost
of this pond and appurtenances need not eX
coed $50. The bottom and sides need to be
eemented thoroughly. When the basin is com
plete place in il small quantity of brush or
floating weeds. If you intend to raise carp,
do not place other fish of predatory charac-
ter in the pond The spawning Will occur
during the spring months, the female laying
from $4,000 10 100000 eggs. The eggs Will
adhere to whatever they touch, and will soon
hatch. The green scum Of a partially stag.
nant pond is fine food for the young fish. Mud
in the bottom of the pond is beneficial. The
fish VIII feed readily on kitchen-garden refuse,
such as cabbage, leek, lettuce, hominy, or 9th
er substances. Water seldom becomes too
warm for these fish. During freezing weather
they bury themselves IN the mud at the bottom
of the pond While in this condition they
should not be disturbed. In pond of given
dimensions several thousand fish have annual
ly been taken. If weeds and grass grow pro-
fusely about the borders of the pond, so much
setter tor the fish In two years time you can
have an abundant and constant supply of TODD
and the advantage of pond TO assist III beau
tifying your home.

sheep for Hard Times.

The past season, characterized by climatic
extremes, followed as 1t must necessarily be by
a winter IN which feeders resources will be
heavily taxed to avoid a sacrifice of portion
of his live stock will serve to give prominence
to the claims of the sheep to a foremost place
III the farm economy. Subsisting through
much Of the past season on a meagre supply
of grass and water, it is now ready to combat
such vIcissitudes as may be in store for 1t with
less detrmCnt than will result to any Of its
farm. yard companions that may be subjected
to like treatment. Such tests of endurance are
by no means desirable IN the case Of the sheep
are far from those conditions by which it
should be surrounded where the best results
are hoped for, but the fact that 1t VIII success
fully withstand them is just so much to he
credited to lis favor BY the rule that pen
ny saveC is penny earned does the sheep
not make money for its owner under circum-
stances wherein other animals would bankrupt
him. Thus it Is that the farmer who can emu
merate among his live stock a fair proportion
of sheep will be enabled to partially recOup
himself against the loss to which he Is nevi-
tably subjected in many localities If those
less fortunately circumstanced will take the
lesson home to themselves, and apply It's teach
ings to their future policy, much good that is
not now apparent to them may be brought out
of their present adversity.-NatiOhdS Lire

milk before the latter has become sour The
reason for this is easily explained o. soon as
the milk begins to turn, curd Dproduced, and
1t is then impossible to remove the cream
without taking off some of the curd also.
Curd means cheese, and If curd is made up
with cream into butter, the latter must neces-
sarily have cheesy flavor and will IN short
time become Strong" and very inferior IN
quality.
3 AS soon as the butter makes its appear.
ance and while still In a granular state, the
buttermIlk should be run off. Plenty of cold
water should then be thrown INTO the churn,
and the butter washed by turning the churn n
few times; two or more lots of water should
be used until the butter is thoroughly cleansed.
Butter is frequently damaged by over.churn,
ing; il Is quite an error TO suppose that after
butter once forms more can be obtained by
further churning; every revolution after the
granules are about the size of Indian corn or
small nuts, deterlorates the quality.
3. Butter should not be touched by hand.
The water should be expelled by means Of a
butter worker.

the greatest body IN America. You listen to

John Smith on Finance" The bookseller
replied that he had not, but had 'Barnum on

sailing Stock,

Prof James Law writes to the turner's I'D
gocate Of London, Ontario, on the subject, rs
follows:
In addition to Its uses rs IA condiment, salt
Is one of the best laXatlves. In cattle and
sheep, especially in which Il dry winter feed
ing is liable to induce u partial impaction OF
food between the leaves of the third stomach
the stimulus gwen by the salt to the free secre
ton and the muscular movement of the stom.
achs, together with the engendered disposition
10 drink more freely, serve to dlslodge such OBJ.
structions and to restore perfect digestion.
Even If a full purgatve action is wanted, few
agents Will serve better than | or lbs. of salt,
according to the size OF the cow But 1t should
never be forgotten that water must be allowed
without stint after the administration of such
a dose, as a concentrated solution Of salt is
highly irritating to the stomach and bowels.
An abundant consumption of water serves at
once to remove the irritant qualities of the
salt and to hasten the action of the bowels.
Finally salt is destructive TO almost all IN
testlnal worms. In Brazil, where cattle are
very subject to parasites, the stock owners
have discovered this virtue, and therefore dose
Their animals twice a year with ID. each of
common salt, after the action of which they
always manitcsty improve IN condition. IL is
to the young worms especially that salt proves
destructive; hence a daily allowance of one
or two ounces for the larger qusdrupeds, or
two drachms tor the sheep, will 90 far toward
warding off fatal attacks 10y destroying the
young parasites as they are taken in, in the
food or water Thus for the liver worms in
sheep (l{Ot salt marshes or the free use of salt
proves almost specific, and the stomach, and
to "a less extent, the intestinal worms OF all do
nestle animals, may be kept In check by a
daily liberal yet moderate allowance.

1t is generally considered that very severe
win'er is destructive to insect life, and so il
probably Is to some extent IN the case OF those
who hibernate near the surface, but the greater
number get down sufficiently deep to be out OF
the reach of injury from frost. Flowing OF
digging up the ground in she fall has the effect
of destroying many insect Larvae by bringing
them TO the surface, where they are killed by
the exposure. If closely followed up and the
groukd turned over two or three times during
the winter, taking advantage of such thaws as
may occur, or even turning over the frozen soil
with sticks or crowbars, very little insect life
Will be left. OF course such n proceeding
would only be advisable in special cases. Fol
instance Ne have known an orchard of plum
trees which were relieved of the curcullo by a
frequent turning Of the soil below and around
the trees during winter, a dressing Of salt hay
ing been applied to the surface after each turn
ing. All kinds OF snails, wlre-wOrms, borers
and larv& will suffer under such treatment
and # no other benefit should be derived, the
labor involved Will be amply compensated by
the decreased fertility of the soil thus aerated
and puverized.

When the preceding fever is at its height

Wheat Experiments.

Among the other experiments OF interest in
wheat cAlturc made upon the Kansas agrlcul-
tural farm and reported by Professor Sheldon
in the last quarterly report are the ones test
ing the advantage of narrowing wheat in the
spring.
In the winter of 1S19-S0 q wheat field very
uniform as to soil, situation and condition of
the crop, was LAID off IN SIX plots exactly one
fourth of an acre each. Each alternate plot,
beginning with the first was thoroughly har,
rowed twice and finally rolled The first har-
rowing was done February 2G, and the second
narrowing, followed by the roller, April II,
Ordinarily these dates would be much too
early but in the spring of 1880 wheat made
an unusually early growth. In general, Pro.
lessor Sheldon believes one narrowing and
rolling would be sufficient and that this work
should be done as soon as the wheat has got
we'll started under the Influence of the spring
suns The spots separating those that were
narrowed IN the tests under consideration re
celved no special treatment.
The result from this test field was that the
yield of gram IN every case in the narrowed
plots exceeded the yield in the adjoining un
borrowed plots, a fact which appears to show
that the increased yield was caused by the har
rowing and nothing else. THIS increased
yield, it is true, was not large, being little
less than two ana One.half bushels or grain
and 1870 pounds OF straw, but quite enough tc
give good pay for the extra labor.
Experiments to show that wheat does not
shrink from evaporation III the bin when put
up perfectly dry were also made by Professor
Sheldon two consecutive years, A long sack
was perpared for the first experiment and
filled with exactly two hundred pounds II
wheat THIS WAS sunk in a bin containing
$50 bushels of winter wheat, where it remained
six months. 1t vas then weighed and gave 8
slight fraction over 20015 pounds. The sec
ond experiment, in which similar sack OF
grain was sunk in a BIN of grain for seven
months, resulted IN an increased weight Of
one pound. Professor Sheldon does not ollel
an explanation of this increased weight, but
accepts the results as proof that the wheat
does not shrink in the BIN when stored in &
dry condltion-N. y. World.
