though England is nearer to Australia

which could be produced and sent out
at greater advantage. The Australian
export at present IS very little.
amounting to only S2,0SS. 600 in the
aggregate for 1883. Some fears have
recently been expressed with reference
to wool growing in Australia, the
staple industry; but the Federal Aus
tralian does not share IN the evil fore
bodings. At the same time It urges
the desirabiiity of seeking new outlets
for Australian woods in countries like
China and Japan, and some of the
| European centres. We have done
this. remarks the journal in question,
not because we labored under the
| judicial impression that the En-
glish market was likely to be glutted
with American woods this year or
next. ard that the price of the Aus
tralian staple would fall % per cent.
1 in consequence, or that our ideas of
the present and following seasons
clip were so buoyant as to lead us to
/ believe that the immense surplus
would create a panic in prices in the
London markets, but simply because
we see that as the development Of
! Western Australia, the Northern Ter
ritory, and Queensland proceeds
and it has been going on rather rapid
" of late-a large increase in the
staple may be reckoned upon" In
1852. 125, 256. 400 Tbs. of wool We're inn
ported into America. In 1882, the
| quantity imported was 50, 964, 236 lbs,
while the population has increased
from 3S. 500, 600 to so, 600, 600. This
great falling off in imported wool
would appear alarming and perplex-
ing were it not for the fact that in
1870 the amount of domestic grown
wool IL the United States was only
100, 105, 3S7 Tbs. while in 1880 it had
increased to upwards of 200, 600, 600
lbs. Australia does not fear this in
crease, as the quality of wool grown
in the States can not compete with
that grown in the colonies Owing to
the nature of the soil in many of the
American States it would not pay the
farmers to turn their attention to wool
growing instead of the cultivation of
cereals. And as a matter of fact,
great as has been the increase in wool
growing in America, it bears no pro
portion to the enormous increase in
the production of other articles. As
Australia and America are nearly
alike, Ia superficial area, and as the
territory Of the latter is being rapidly
Esed for cereal and cotton products,
while%th more distant continent
or such portion of it as is settled-is
nothing but huge sheep walk, there
IS no danger for some time to come of
Australia losing her supremacy in
wool growing.

hardiness Of GALLOWAY Cattle.

It is their long, thick, shaggy hair
which protects them from frost and
storms, showing that, like the butfa
10, they are admirably adapted to en-
dure the winter climate Of our great
western plains and the foothills of the
Rocky mountains. For this reason,
and some others, l thiAk the more Of
this breed there are placed at the
west, the more profitable it will be for
the ranch men. Their beef
is first quality, and in consequence
of being destitute of horns, the
cost of their breeding and rear
ing and also of transportation to mar
ket is less. In Scotland, when they
wish to increase the size for particular
locations, they cross the Galloway
cows with compact shorthorn bulls
This produce proves hardy also,
heavy weights at three years OLD.
Their meat is well marbled, tender,
juicy and free from patchiuess.- Cor.

4 Word to Parents.
American Agricultural

See that your child never leaves any
task half done or slovenly finished (;
and therefore give not too many tasks.
Thoroughness is the corner stone Of
success. There is no place in the
world now for smatterers, who know
a little and only little of everything
under the sun. There is always an
honorable place for those who can do
any kind of honest work in the best
manner Show the child, from the ex-
perience Of others, that little or no
progress is made by spasmodic and in
termttent effort. The world is now
so advanced and competition so keen
that genius must ally itself with pa
tent, persistent work, and with the
dizziness which comes only from con
tinuous practice. The young are prone
to dream of what they will do in the
future. The history of others proves
that they will never do much, unless
they are doing their present work
thoroughly. They do not realize this,
and mere arbitrary assertion of the
fact usually makes but slight impress
SION. Biographies Of successful men,
whether read from the Libraries or fur
nished from your memory OF neigh
bors, establish the truth in their minds,

THE EX-OONFEDERATE REUNION.

The following circular has been
issued by the president of the associa-
ton:
My Dear Sir:-lt having been sug-
gested to me by some of our most pro-
lnincnt aud influential members that
the occurrence of our annual reunion
during the present presidential cam
paign might, as it has already in some
states, give rise to misrepresentation
prejudicial alike to ourselves and the
public interests, l have submitted to
the different gentlemen composing Onr
board of council the question whether
the interests of the association and
the public welfare would not best be SUBJ
served by emitting our usual reunion
for 1884. In response have received
replies from nearly every one of the
council, advising me that the reunion
for this year should, for the reasons
limited at, be altogether omitted, and
recommending that our friends be
notified that the association will not
again meet in reunion until October,
1885. You will, therefore, please
notify our friends in your district as
far as practicable.
1t is hoped that this concession to
expcdiency will not be misunderstood
or mlsrepresented. Our friends may
rest assured that only the gravest con-
sidcrations prompt us to the course re-
commended, and that the officers of the
association will in the meantime use all
available means to promote its inter-
ests and purposes, which are strictly
non partisan, and relate solely to the
relief of disabled comrades and their
families, and the collection and preser-
vation of historical records.

MALICIOUS SLANDERERS.

The Jefferson City correspondent of
the st. Louis Republican at the repub-
iican state convention says:
1t is safe 10 say that if the entire pro-
ceedings at Jefferson City on Tuesday
could be made plain to the voters Of
this state the ticket named the.'c would
be buried under a democratic victory
of $4,000. There are many democrats
in the state who have leaned toward
grecnbackism in the past, aud are ex-
pccted to vote for the Ford ticket this
year. If they could have seen the COM
pany they are expected to step into
and heard the denunclations of the
democrats of all shades of opinion, the
TRADES poured out against the mass
of the people of the state, it is safe to
say tile number who would vote the
republican ticket this year under the
thin disguise of fusion would be very
small. No self-rcspecting voter who
has q single democratic impulse would
for one moment think Of casting a
ballot for men who thus rcvi'c the
state and misrepresent its people. The
universal opinion of democrats is that
nothing more Objectionable or weaker
was ever devised in the shape of an
opposition movement than the ticket
headed by Nicholas Ford.
