DO We Eat too Much.

The amount Of nourishment which
person needs greatly depends on his con-
stitution, state of health, habits, and
work. A sedentary man requires less
than one whose duties demand the
exercise Of his muscles, and n BRAIN
worker needs more than an idlcr. But
unquestionably the majority of us take
more than 80 need Indeed, food and
work are distributed most unequally.
The man of leisure is also the man Of
means, and, accordingly fares sumptu-
ously every day; while the laborer tolls
for eight hours, and finds it difficult to
get enough 10 repair the waste of his
tissues. Yet Chinaman or Bcngalee
will toll under tropical sun, and find
few pice worth of rice or jowrah sufficient
10 sustain his strength. A Frenchman
will not cat half what M Englisiman
engaged in the same work will demand,
and Spanish laborer, content in Ordlhary
times with watermelon and Int Of
black bread, will toll in the vineyards
and grow fat on dietary OF onion por-
ridge and grapes. 1t is true that Mr..
Brasscy, when building the continental
railways, found that one English navy
was worth acouplco Of spare-fcd foreigners.

The English soldiers, though better fec
than those of any army except thu
American, do not get one-half the amour

THE disturbed state Of affairs in Paris

be expected that there will be demonstra-
tons of threatening character. Tho
dissatisfaction turns against the Govern.

land and England. Some wealthy men
in north and central Missouri have gone
even to extravagant lengths in this bus
mess, and all the upper part Of the state
has profited by their munificence. Near
" every county north Of the river shows
traces Of improved blood flowing from
these impOrtations, and every "bunch"
of fat cattle sent to market shows a
Shorthorn or Hereford strain. The
black polled animals recently introduce
into Saline, Lafayette and some Of the
adjoining counties, and in the south
west are an experiment; but there are
reasons for believing that they will give
valuable admiIture to our stock and as
sist to perfect the ultimate animal that
is to be the product Of various crosses
on the native breed. Cheap corn, rich,
sweet grass, abundant water and care
full breeding are working marvels in the
improvement af Missouri cattle, and if
the process he kept up few years long
er we will have herds in this state from
which all the region west and south
west of us will draw their choice breed

IMPROVED MISSOURI CATTLE.

The st. Louis Republican Of a recent
date says that the holding OF fat cat
tie show At Kansas City 10 evidence of
the enterprise and public spirit of that
active and gowing city and Of the re-
markable progress made in our state in
that branch Of husbandry for which Il
Is particularly adapted-stock breeding.
Missouri is the third corn state In the
Union, ranking next after Illinois and
Iowa. It's corn crop in 1879 was 9O2, 400
600 bushels, and in this country corn
means either OF al of the many things
into which this most valuable grain can
be converted. A corn crop OF Do, 400
0o0 bushels II worth, In a raw, state ut
thirty cents q bushei, over So, 200. 900.
and when transformed into onimals Is
worth SlOo, 100000. There was . time
when II was the habit Of Missouri farm
ers to raise corn and sell It In its raw
state. But this rude and wasteful
farming has given place 20 a better sys-
tenn. 1t Is the practice now to convert
the grain into animals, by which high
erprice Is secured for the grain and all
the waste matter kept on the land for
its enrichment.
Beef cattle are the favorits animals
with our farmers, and extraordinary ef-
forts have been made In the last ten
years TO improve both the weight and
the qualityof nesh. Chicago shorthom
animals are brought into the state from
kentucky and central Illinois, and
