Where the day-gOd beams. and his beauty CLEANS,
Thy plumage glances bright
Thou hast roamed the land where the breezes blan'
Have rufied thy sable wing
Where the voice is heard of the joyous bifd
Meath the endless smile of spring.
But now DER the hill, and the sparkling rill
Of our own dear native home,
Where the freeman's song is borne along,
Doth thy form of beauty roam.
Thou lav'st thy wing, and the waters ding
Their pearl drops over thy breast;
Then away in thy glee, o'er the verdant lea.

To Raise a Selling Crop.

Land to produce a profitable soiling
crop must be rich in order that you may
get a good swarth early and often. You
thus make a great saving in the cutting
and gathering. DO not depend on a single
variety for any stock. They soon tire on
it and get partially off their feed. In the
Gulf States, alfalfa and the other forage
plants natural there; in the far West, al
falfa and the usual grasses may be used !;
in the North and West, patch of rye, one
of orchard grass. one of red clover, one of
rye grass, and mlllet and sOwn corn for
succession, may be used. If these be
heavily MANFRED, and there is ordinary
moisture. they will furnish a succession
during the season, a I'd your stock will
take their full feeds daily. We believe it
better for swine to be fed thus, especially
in places subject TO hog cholera and other
contagious diseases. and for the reason
that we believe that ringing is one of the
most prolific sources of contagious, blood
and other diseases, from the exposure of
more or less raw surface Of the animal.
To keep up the fertility of the perennial
grasses, they may be tOp-dressed yearly,
with not less than four loads of forty
bushels each OF compost manure per acre.
If to this you add two hundred pounds of
plaster gypsum and one hundred pounds
of superDhOsphate, 50 much the better.
1t will pay. If you are in doubt take an
acre OF any meadow OF mixed grasses,
dress it with twenty loads of compost
manure, and, when the grass is fairly
through, two hundred pounds of plaster,
and note the result. 1t will give a swarth
you cannot "put scythe into clear up to
the heel"

A CALIFORNIA CATTLE KING.
One of the Pioneers of Western Life,
and How he PrOspered.

anu now ne EEOeDcEeu+
Martin Murphy, writes San Francis
co correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. died this week at his palatial
home in san Jose, in the heart Of the fer
tile Santa Clara valley. He deserves
more thon passing mention, as he was
one OF the finest types of the large-landed
prOprietOrs of California who secured by
sterling honesty and generous impulses
the friendship Of the native Spanish-Amer-
lean families. Murphy was an ITishman,
who was married in Quebec as far back
as 1880, and ten years later set out for the
United States. He chose st. Louis as his
place of residence, but after short stay
moved to a large plantation in Holt
county, Missouri. There he was visited
by Jesuit father, who had just crossed
the plains from California. He stirred
tie Irishman's warm magma
ton by painting the delights
of the Californian climate and the
opportunities for a man OF capital to ac-
quire land and make fortune by cattle
raising. He was the more inclined to this
from the fact that the place he had selec-
ted in Missouri was cursed with malaria.
So IN 1874 be gathered the various men,
hers Of his family, comprising four sons,
two brothers and their kindred, and the
whole party set out for the far West,
forming lue hist Wutlt 6ultgEdub Train
which ever passed over the plains. There
was no well-defned road, as in later years,
so the emigrants were guided by the stars
until they found an Indian named
Truckee, who served as their guide and
led them safely through the great Utah
desert. across the Sierras, and down into
the lovely Sacramento valley.
There. on the COsumns river, Murphy
bought a large ranch and started into
cattle breeding and general agriculture.
which he followed to the day of his death.
Even the wild excitement of the gold fever
had no apparent effect on him, except to
increase his conservatism. About 1850 he
moved from the Sacramento valley
to the large Mexican ranch Of Buena
Vista, near San Jose, and that has re-
manned his home and the seat of
the family ever since. His cattle
increased rapidly, he bought largely of
land in the southern counties, and as he
never risked any money in mines or min
ing speculation, his death saw him the
pOssessOr of land and stock in four
counties. worth not less than SIS, 100000.
His home place in Santa Clara county
rich land worth 5000 an acre-cOmprised
1900 acres; in Santa Barbara he owned
a great ranch OF 10000 acres; in San Luis
ObispO he had royal domain OF 10000
acres, and in this county he owned valu-
able real estate in ButchertOwn, where
his stock was brought for slaughtering
purposes. He left a large family, and so
fearful was he of legal complications
which might arise after his death that
two years ago, when his health began to
fail. he decided his property to his heirs,
only retaining control during his lifetime.

Shropshire and Hampshire-DOwn
Sheep.

The Shropshire and Hampshire-downs
are two essentially modern breeds OF Eng
lIsh sheep. The desire to improve all
kinds OF live stock took possession of pro-
gressive English farmers during the latter
part of the eighteenth century. The Wilt
shire sheep were a hardy, horned, white
faced breed, which when crossed with the
improved hornless, dark-taced, well-bred
SOuthdown, became profitable market
breed, especially for raising early lambs,
and their wool was also greatly improved.
This cross, with a dash of Cotswold or
Leicester blood, is the foundation of the
Hampshire-dOwns. They had been bred
for black or dark faces and legs, which
were SouthdOWn characteristics, but when
Southdown breeders found the Hampshires
competing with them in the market, and
successfully, from their larger size, they
changed in a measure the fashion Of color
in their legs and faces, nowadays pre-
ferring the grizzly brown rather than very
dark. The Hampshires are larger, cOarser
and not so well formed as the SOuthdOwns,
and their wool is longer and cOarser,
doubtless FROM the long-woOl cross. They
mature early and are hardy and profitable.
