nAAmed to EXtinatinn

In fifty years, said an observer of ma
ture to Cincinnati Enquirer writer and
! dare say twenty-five, the buffalo will be
be rarity in our museums, as not one in
twenty has a specimen
''How so2'
"Ihey are doomed to extinction. First.
they were driven to the West, and now
they are being hemmed in by the settlers
that are extending out from both the East
and West, and when these two bodic,
meet fairly, as they willin the time have
stated, and the country is cut up by hun
dreds of railroad lines, the buffalo that
has existed in countless thousands will be
gone. "
Why, continued the speaker, mot
long ago these animals covered the east
ern part Of the continent to the shores of
the Atlantic, and Mexico. Now. YOU
never see one east of the Missouri, except
perhaps the northern portion, while their
only range to-day lies between the Upper
missouri and the Rocky mountains, and
rom Northern Texas and New Mexico to
Great Martin lake, in latitude sixtv-four
oegrees north. They are being hemmed
IN on every side, with all the other ami
mails OF the plains; their limit is becom-
ing more restricted; in fact, are being
urlVen out of existence by man. Over
one hundred and fifty thousand are yearly
used legitimately by the trade, and half
as many are killed in wanton sport. But
we live only for the present, and your
grandchildren and mine will be going to
ehe m big museums of 1880 and paying fifty
cents cen, to look at piece of buffalo skin.
u u $ as sure as anything can be. The his
tory of the last six hundred wears tells the
same story, yet We kill and slaughter. -

Soldiers Widows.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of the 18th
says:
Tue movement inaugurated by Robert
Chivas Post No. 2, of Milwaukee, in the
interest of national homes for widows of
the soldiers and sailors of the rebellion,
has met with considerable encourage
ment, and decisive steps are to be taken
to bring it to congressional notice, Con-
corning the project, its author, Dr. F. A.
Marden, Of this city, says: GAIL over
the country, many soldiers widows have
sought refuge in the almshouses. The
small pension they receive is not sufici-
ent for their support, and by reason of old
age and physical disabilities they are
unable to provide for themselves, and are
therefore compelled to seek aid from the
charitable institutions of the country.
The nation has been generous in provid-
ing for the care of the soldiers. When
they are unable to provide for themselves
they have home provided fer them,
where they receive all the necessaries of
life and many comforts; and when they
are sick they have proper hospital accom-
modations. medical and surgical attend
auce. When they die they are buried in
honorable graves.

Buying and selling stock is an i'm
portant part of every farmers business,
says contemporary, even in sections
where cattle-breeding is not especially.
1t requires great deal of judgement to
Go this successfully, and this will be only
acquired by experience and the use of
scales to weigh sthe stock occasionally
With some experience, a farmer can
learn to judge weights of cattle OF other
farm stock away from home, while his
own may be weighed as often as he
chooses. Even if the stock are not to be
sold, it is very convenient for farmers to
lave scales, that they may know the
comparative results of different kinds of
food.
