STOCK GOSSIP.

Buena Vista county, Iowa, is being
swept by terrible plague OF lung disease
in itsswinc.
Kansas has 2,23S,7S5 cattle, or SOO,5l7
more than in 1880. The estimated value Of
the cattle is SGS, 100000.
1t is estimated that the present style Of
branding annually detracts s., 600, 600 from
the value OF hides marketed in the West.
The foot-and-mouth disease seems to be
spreading steadily in England again, and
threatens to become once more nationally
epidemic.
The Secretary Of State refuses to deliver
to his Scotch prosecutors, for extradition,
Joseph Raeside, Of Illinois, convicted OF
fabricating false Clydesdale pedigrees.
The claim is made that cattle can be
shipped more comfortably on fast trains
run through from the West without stop
ping to feed than can be done in stopping
TO unload and feed on the way.
It is alleged that one-sixth OF all the
cattle herds west OF the Missouri river are
owned or controlled by Englishmen, who
feed their cattle on free American grass,
and are gradually driving Americans out
Of the cattle business.
An experienced western feeder claims
that white Shorthorns feed better than
red ones. This statement is perhaps con.
sequent upon the fact that the high bred
Clearance Kirklevington, winnerof the first
prize a: the late Chicago Fat Stock Show,
was white.
The average weight Of native Texan
steers at 9! years Of age is S25 pounds,
while one produced by two Shorthorn
crosses weighs ! 100 pounds, an increase Of
upwards OF thirty-two percent in weight,
besides a corresponding increase in quail

Good Manure.

Country dCiHhHuH'
We will not discuss the merits or de.
merits OF the so-called plosphates. They
have q place in agriculture. We want To
point out how manure may be had for
nothing, and the substances alnost en-.
tirely those which are purchased under
the different brands us phosphates, super.
phosphates, and guano. Our special
manure is known in the market as mid.
dlings," some people call "ship studS. v
It can be bought now for about So per
ton. 1t will not only promote life when
fed to animals; but It will make growth,
and recent cxperiments.by Prof. sanborn
have shown that it will make growth
equal to, il not better than corn. 1t is
first class to make milk when fed to cows
and it is superior to make pigs grow; in
fact, it is one OF the very best foods for
them. 1t is the general purpose food
more than any other, unless it IS oats.
After being fed, and doing its part to in
crease the income Of the farmer in pro-
noting growth AS excrement manure
it is worth all it cost. 1t pays for itself rs
food, and then again as fertilizer.
Plenty OF COWS and lots Of middIings for
them means free manure and better
crops.

Noaongahela City Pu.l Republican.
The Wheeling Daily INTELLIGENcEE is
metropolitan journal in an inland city,
handsome in its make up, and by enter
prising news getting, well entitled to the
honorable designation Of Newspaper. It's
tone is Republican with any
sort OF political oleomargarine. Its pages
are pure and clean, giving all the news,
using neither pepper, salt or vinegar to
make sensation for perverted taste, yet to
its readers always a valued and reliable
source OF information. Our farmers re.
Gently had taste Of the literary ability
which shines all over the editorial page,
in an address by Charles Burdett Hart on
Something Better on the Farm" before
the Stock Breeders Institute. The nd.
dress was elegant and eloquent, and had
conviction behind the pen that wrote it.
We do not wonder that the INTELLIGESCER
is popular along the HempGeld, Its cir
culation among Washington county farm
crs on that line, at least, is but evidence
OF their appreciation OF its enterprise.

An Incident of Lincoln's Funeral.
Cbcago Harald

Chicago Herald.
In the second volume Of his notable his
tory Mr.. Blaine describes with painstsking
rather than picturesque clrcumstantiality
the demonstrations of popular feeling fol-
lowing the death of Lincoln 20 years ago.
The funeral ceremonies at Chicago, the last
station before the final Ihalt at Springfield,
are not specially mentioned. They psrtook
OF the general character of the demonstra-
tions of New York and Philadelphia. The
facades of buildings generally were draped
with emblems Of mourning and the remains
were laid in state in the rotunda Of the old
Court House, where the throng, larger by
the addition Of country visitors, might view
them. The suspension oi business was gen.
eral aud the procession through the streets,
though of the ordinary character, was i'm
posing. 1t was attended, however, with one
Incident which was so incongruous as to
border on the ludicrOus.
Fighting Joe Hooker was in charge of the
escort accompanying the remains from
Washington. Mounted upon steed with
military housing and wearing the uniform
Of general of the army, he was at the head
OF the procession Lake was then the chief
retail street in Chicago, aid as the process
sion solemnly passed through that thorough
fare, lined on each side by solemn popu-
lace, the general, provoking 10 his steed Inc
caper he seemed to chde, was bowing right
aud left, as if the demonstration was an ova-
tion 10 him. The flushed face of the veteran
suggested that The morning cocktail might be
accountable for Conduct so little in keeping
with the occasion, the solemnity of which so
impressed the multitude that the caperings
of the general did not stir it to mirth.
