NEW YORK, April oo.-The Tri-
bune says: Sidney Dillon, Presi-
dent of the Union Pacific Railway.
said yesterday in explanation to
the decreased earning of the road:
Zone year ago the st. Joseph and
Western Roads were included in
our report, but now the road is op-
Grated independently and the earn
ings were over 800. 900 per month.
But this sum had to be returned to
the company in the end. In ad-
dition to this we were building the
Oregon Short Line, and for thst and
other roads we were carrying a
good deal of construction materials.
Our present earnings are reported
in comparison with these large
earnings, bat the comparison is not
so unfavorable as it appears to be.
because q matter of bookkeeping.
The result at the end of the. year
will show that the real business of
the company has not suffered Sc
verely.

Begin With What You Have.

There is so much said about replacing
scrub stock with the improved breeds
that we think that many who have COM
mon stock hesitate, because they think
they must begin life anew. Its always
discouraging to be compelled to do this.
There is no more pitiable sight in this
world than to see q man broken IN for
tune and spirit beginning at the lowest
round of the ladder the second time. it
is steep and rugged pathway that un-
folds before him; and something of that
feeling fills the average man when he
thinks he is told that he has been MAX
ing mistake in his breeding operations,
and should clear his yards and pens at
once. and restock with costly animals.
1t is q mistake to urge this We must
take human nature as we find it, and do
the best we can to encourage it to move
forward. 1t is not altogether a question
as to what is best, bnt rather what is
practical under the circumstances. We
think that when a farmer is able to re-
place inferior stock with that which IS
superior he will find it to his interest to
do it, but if he does not wish to do that,
or is not able to do it, breed up. Get
thoroughbred ram and use the common
ewes: or if he cannot do that, get Il
grade ram; and if he cannot do that,
then improve his stock by very careful
selection. A correspondent writes how
he began with his common sheep as we
have here indicated, and il carefully
wedding out every year. In that way
the flock gets better and better. 1t IS
the only way by which we can make
sheep husbandry pay. We cannot hope
to do ANYTHING with sheep in this coun-
try unless they are good sheep. That
does not mean, we repeat. that they
shall be pure bred sheep, but simply
good sheep.
AS stated in our last issue, the mutton
question must receive more attention.
When near a mutton market there
OUGHT not to be any hesitancy about de-
Gliding for the mutton breeds, other
things being favorable. But nearness
to the mutton markets must not by any
means be considered as the legitimate
limit of the proper sphere for the NUT
ton breeds. Mutton that is made upon
the blue grass Of Kentucky is sold in
Boston and New York and in Europe
If we can ever get our TRANSPORTATION
conpanies to do the fair thing by us,
distance will cut no figure in the mat
ter. But we again suggest that at tie
present at least the Merino is particu-
Iarly a mutton sheep. The mutton car
cass sells readily in the market and
probably always will. It certainly will
while the average consumer is no better
Judge of meats than he now is. We
ALWAYS contended that the best Merino
mutton was good enough, but it is not
the best and never can be made the
best.
We are not an advocate of crossing
the Merino for the improvement of its
mutton qualities. Keep the breeds
pure. We need the Merino just as it
is, except that some Of us might breed
for an increase of size with advantage
If we raise the largest Merinos that can
be raised and take good care of them.
we will accomplish all that we can ex-
pect to accomplish with that breed

The ordinary marker makes too
deep furrow for corn, especially when
the planting is early and the ground

Cows that are watered from stag
nant ponds or from wells in the barn
yard will give milk more or less tainted,

1t is doubtful if too much can be
