ported on track. Buyers found difficulty in
filing their orders without bidding up prices.
This they were sustained in doing by stronger

CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-The money market

there was no urgency in the requests, for
loans are stringent in their tone, discount
rates being firm at SOC on call and cor
for time loans, the latter being the ruling
rate for business names. Street rates are
4@5 for call to borrowers on choice collat-
erals and 51a@7 for business names. The
bank clearings were SIS, 79O, 900. New York

The wheat market again opened more
firmly, being somewhat strengthened by re-
ports from outside markets and an inclina-
ton on the part of a good many to advance
prices. Soon after the board opened several
trades in No. hard and No. Northern were
made at lie above the prices of the preceding
day. For futures prices fuctuated within a
narrow range and closed easier. Samples
were abundant and we're held shade higher
than on Monday. They were slow in move
ment, sales averaging rather better for the
same qualities. Flour was steady, corn weak,
bran and shorts nominal. oats steady, barley

like lime, are not Objectionable in
drinking water for stock, but vegetable
and animal impurities are highly
injurious. 1t is certainly advisable to
have water accessible to stock in more
than one place if the pasture is large
one. Many animals will suffer from
thirst on very warm day in summer
before they will travel half a mile to
obtain water. To insure comfort,
shade should be provided in every
pasture. Trees should be planted in
clusters in several places, so that ami
mails Of different kinds and ages can
have retreats by themselves. There
are several varieties of trees that make
very rapid growth on prairie soils,
and they should be planted in clusters
in every new pasture. It is easy to
protect them while they are young by
the use of barbed wire. In affording
protection from the sun while the
trees are growing temporary sheds can
be erected at tritling cost. Strong
posts can be placed at the corners.
Supports for the frame of the roof can
be made of saplings and the covering
made of straw or wild grass.

Livestock Notes.

Making artificial tails for horses is
reported to be successful industry in
Connecticut.
Colorado expects to raise corn
enough this season to feed fat sc, 900
steers say, 100000 bushels Of corn.
The record of Georgia man is given
In the statement that he has plowed
his ''corn sod'' with the same mule for
thirty-six consecutive years.
It is thought the Colorado wool clip
will not quite reach last years figures,
but nearly 100000 pounds are ex-
pected, superior in its quality.
Chemistry is the cornerstone in
agriculture. Grass is one of Natures
principal means used in converting
earth into food. Disintegratable earth
must exist before plants, and plants
before animals.
The sheep yearly slaughtered in the
United States are recorded at 12,OOO,-
900. They furnish the principle source

Greedy 5 Wakeful Sleep.

On another occasion, says Oliver
johnson, Iwen t with him Horace Gree
ly]to hear a di$ course from Rev. Will
liam Henry Oh aiming. Itwas Sunday
morning, and the topic announced was
one in which he felt a special interest.
Mr.. Charming was then, in fact, minis
tering to a congregation of which Mr..
Greeley was prominent member. It
was in hall oh the west side of Broad
way, above Canal street, where DR..
Dewey had preached aforetime On
the way thithef Mr.. Greeley begged me
to keep him wake. We occupied a
settee within S TX feet of the platform
and right unde the eye of the preacher
| tried to keep him awake by frequent
tuggings at his elbow and playing ably
no means soft tattoo upon his ribs
But it was Of no use. He was Enid
nodding' through the whole discourse,
not little to Mr.. Channing's annoy
ance, who observed my unsuccessful
efforts to keep his great auditor awake.
But now come the wonderful part of
my story. Mr. Greeley and I, when
the service was over, went back to The
Tribune Office together He sat down
to his desk at bnce, and made an alb
stract OF Mr.. Channing's discourse,
filling somewhat less than column,
which appeared in The Tribune next
morning. MIR Charming was utterly
amazed when he saw it, and afterward
asked me If it was possible Mr. Greeley
had made the report. When told him
that I saw him while he was preparing
it, and could fertify that it went to the
composition in hiss own handwriting,
and that, NOR cover, I had myself read
the proof, hd expressed the greatest
establishment "Why,' said he, 'sI
could not myself have made so accurate
an abstract of my own discourse, which,
though prem editated, was extempo-
raneous. He has not only given the
substance OF what | said; he has follow
ed my line of thought, and remembered
nota little of my language do not
pretend to q fer any explanation of
this strange mental test. But I am
absolutely certain of the facts as [ have
related them, and that what had the
appearance Of unqualified sleep was in

Worth Remembering.

That oyer-fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That scrimping the feed of fattening
hogs is waste of grain.
That educating children is money
loaned at hundred per cent.
That hay is a good deal cheaper
made in summer than that bought in
winter.
That an offensive war against weeds is
five times less expensive than defen-
sive one.
That one evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than in loung-
ing about country tayerns.
It is worth while for farmers every
where to remember that thorough Gull
ture is better than three mortgages on
the farms.
That horse which lays his ears
back and looks lightning when one
approaches him, is vicious. Don't buy

That it is the duty of every farmer
to take some good reliable agricultural

Lincoln Once Needed Money.

A Springf eld gentleman, says the
Register, has just come into possession
Of an unpublished letter of Abraham
Lincoln. The letter was addressed to
the Hon. Ale kander Campbell, men,
Der Of congress from the LaSalle district
in 1867. Mr. Campbellis said to have
been among the truest and most infuen-
tial friends that Lincoln ever had. He
not only susth aimed him by voice and vote
but gave hi IN material aid in the
great campaf gins Of 1856 and 1853. A
gentleman in this city saw Mr. Campbell
give Lincoln money in both the years
named. Th sum so given in 1856 was
$500; the exact sum given in 1853 is not
remembered. The money given Mr..
Lincoln in 1858 was to aid him in his
campaign against Douglas The
gentleman who now possesses the let
ter strove for years to gain Mr.. Camp
bells consent to furnish it for publica-
ton, but did not succeed until lately.
The Register now gives it as possess
ing some historical interest, and to
show that even in ante-bellum days
''grease" was sometimes resorted to by
politicians. Following is copy
of the letter:
z SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June Is, 1S5S.-A.
Campbell ESq-MY DEAR SIR: In 1856
you gave me authority to draw on you for
any sum not|exceeding $500. I see clearly
that such privilege would be more avail
able now than it was then. I am aware
that times are tighter now then they were
then. Please write me, at all events, and
whether you can do any thing or not shall
continue grateful for the past Yours very
truly. A. LINCOLN.
