Minneapolis Tribune: On Satur-
day and Sunday last ten thousand i'm
migrants landed at Castle Garden.
Most of these are bound for the North
western states, where many of them
have friends. No wonder the Great
Northwest is rapidly being trans
formed from wilderness to a garden
when it is constantly receivings such
additions to it's working force. The
European immigrant no longer con-
tents himself with stopping in New
York and running for alderman; his
eyes are fixed on the wheat fields of
Minnesota and Dakota, and he is
never satisfied till he holds warranty
deed to a portion of the wealth pro-
ducing soil of the finest poor mans
country in the world.

Do not turn stock on pastures too
early; give the grass chance to get
fairly started. After months of winter
feeding there is nothing like freshgreen
food to quicken the action of any ami
mails system; but it is better to give
ration of bran and faxseed meal oc-
casionally for that purpose than to in
jure the pasture when grass is starting.

Exchange: Most Western corn
growers fully understand why the
crop failed last year; late planting
poor seed, seed grown in a wrong lati-
tude, and early frosts. They can not
hasten the advent of spring, or put off
autumn frosts, but they will be likely
to see to the seed part of the business
this year. 1t will take at least three
or four good corn crops to render them
again careless in this matter; after
that the forgetful may again look out
for q corn failure.

Prairie Farmer: About every
"ready reckoner," "guide," "calcuia-
tori or memorandum book offered to
farmers contains one or more rules for
judging the weight of animals by
measurement. These rules are repro
duced by the general newspapers, and
sometimes even by agricultural journ-
ais. This is we'll enough, perhaps, as
the measurements, if carefully made,
may give the real weight, appoXima-
tely, quite as near AS the guess of the
so-called expert cattle traders; but
good farm scales, accurate to the
fraction of an ounce, are now so cheap
that all gueSs-work should be general
ly abandoned. Such scale is one Of
the necessities in intelligent and
profitable farming. A large interest
on the cost will be saved in buying
and selling produce.

money in raising good roadsters and

When the animals are turned out to
grass provide them with salt freely
and regularly. Many good farmers
prefer placing rock salt where stock
can get to it at all times. When this
is done the animals will never take
more salt than is good for them.

The Two Turkeys.

A certain man near Railroad avenue
in fremont, had large number of tur-
keys which had hard luck in getting
enough TO eat through the summer
months.
One of the turkeys was a goodnatur-
ed, happy fellow, and very respectable.
He always kept out of bad society and
never associated with Frog Hollow
poultry. Another one of the turkeys
prided himself on his wisdom, and
among his associates in the barn-yard
was considered a very ''hy" bird.
About three weeks before Thanks
giving the good-natured turkey met the
wise turkey and said to him:
81 can't understand how its is that
our master has commenced to feed us
so literally. Why he nearly starved us
lastsummer."
Cant you understand?" replied the
wise turkey winking his left eye.
"No, can't"
"Well," said the wise one, you're a
pretty good-natured sort of gobbler,
so III give you the straight tip. Thanks
giving day is due in three weeks.
"What has that to do withit?"
Everything, my dear bird; our mas
ter wishes to fatten us up"-here the
wise turkey, in low voice whispered
in the thin turkeys ear these horrible
words, land kill you for market"
The good natured turkey turned pale,
and, when he recovered himself, said
he did not believe it.

panion, ''eat and get fat and be killed.
AS for myself, don't intend to eat
anything, and grow thin. When your
head is chopped off you will remember
what l have told you" The shook
claws and separated.
Time passed on. The good-natured
turkey eat all he could and grew fat,
while the wise turkey took just enough
to sustain life and trained himself
down to shadow.
Early yesterday morning the man
got up, caught all his turkeys and began
to chop their heads off. The good-natur-
ed turkey resigned himself to fate; his
last words were 1--we had good time
and he died without gobble The wise,
thin turkey smiled to himself, but he
was suddenly selzed and his head cut
off.
Then the man got brick, put it in
the thin, wise turkey, and made him
weigh more than any other turkey he
owned, and then sold all the lot to a
butcher,

pounds, and was a veritable nugget

through 1t. The result of this assay was
ninety-two per cent. gold. The three
Mexicans who brought in these speci-
mems were all that remained of large
party who had started out. The rest

they ever return is problem yet to be

H. Jones, editor Of the Times Union,
made an inhammatory speech, in which
he said that if the men who were at
tempting to put Blaine in the presiden-
tial seat were killed, the Democrats
would protect the murderers.
At Huntington, West Virginia, great
enthusiasm prevails over the presumed
election Of Cleveland. Shouts and
cheers for Jeff Davis were frequent, and
the rebel yell went up in every direc
ton. Mock slave sales were held and
the negroes and Republicans generally
were grossly insulted.
AT meeting to celebrate the sup.
posed election of Cleveland in Fred
ricksburg, Maryland, speeches were
made in which the speakers said that,
if it was necessary the bullet would be
used to seat Cleveland. Cheers were
given for Jeff Davis, and the rebel feel
ing was as strong as in 1860.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.

Grover Cleveland has been elected
President of the United States. He by
some means has defeated for this high
Office one Of the brightest and most
able men of the age. The fact is, the
Republicans were too sure of success.
1t will teach the party a lesson, how.
ever, and there is not doubt but there
will be plenty of Democrats four years
from now who will have had enough
of Democratic rule, to become Repub.
licans and help elect a Republican
President. There is no use of Repub-
licans feeling very sore over this defeat.
The Senate is Republican and will in
all probability take good care that no
serious damage is done. The Repub-
lican party should accept the situation
gracefully, and console herself with
the knowledge that the Pacific Coast
stood in bravely for the man, who if
elected, would have looked we'll after
her interests.

1T may, in one sense, be a good
thing for the country to have a Demo
cratic President for four years. 1t will
probably most effectually break up the
Solid South, while, at the same time,
the Senate being Republican, the DEM
ocrats will not have chance to do
much damage. Had they full swing
for four years it would require another
twenty. -four years of Republican ad.
ministration to set things to rights again.
